Overview
- Users have posted in Reddit, Google’s Issue Tracker and comments on Android sites about phones that do not ring and only show a missed-call notification afterward, a pattern highlighted in coverage on Wednesday and over the past few weeks.
- Reports cover multiple Pixel models including Pixel 10 Pro/10 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro/9 Pro XL, Pixel 8 and Pixel 6a, which suggests the issue is not limited to a single device generation.
- Affected owners and outlets say the problem appears linked to software, with many cases occurring on Android 17 and some on the Android 17 QPR1 beta, pointing to an interaction between the Phone app and recent OS builds.
- Users have found temporary fixes that sometimes restore ringing, such as turning off Scam Detection or Call Screen in the Google Phone app or resetting mobile network settings and rebooting, but these measures are not guaranteed and Google has not published a patch or official guidance.
- The bug echoes a similar Pixel call issue in 2024 that Google fixed with an emergency update, and the current reports raise concern because missed incoming calls can have direct real-world consequences for users and may prompt a fast software patch if Google confirms the cause.
