Pixel 3a XL - initiating calls can crash launcher/UI. Any fix? - Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers

I use a Pixel 3a XL with the latest OS (just updated yesterday.)
OS version: bonito-rp1a.201105.002
I use Magisk latest, installed over this version.
This started happening after upgrading to Android 11.
Whenever I call a person, there is a 50-50% chance that the interface relaunches. It's not a full reboot. I see the "G" symbol, and the loading bar below it.
Then after like 5-10 seconds, the interface reloads and I can make that call.
It's not THAT annoying, but annoying regardless.
Does anyone have a clue what might cause this?
So again:
- Android 11 latest for Pixel 3a XL
- Magisk rooted
- Using Call Recorder skvalex module Magisk (latest)
- Nova Launcher

I would venture a guess since no one else seems to be having these issues that your call recorder mod might be the cause. try disablimg it and see if the issue presists.

I had this same issue same module installed. Did a fresh os install and haven't had it happen again yet.

Touchscreen freeze

Hello !
I made the march update yesterday, and now my touchscreen freezes if I don't use it for a few seconds. To make it work again, I have to lock/unlock the phone, or to tap the screen until it works.
It's probably a software issue, because it happenned just after the update. Does someone have the same problem ?
I'm having the same problem. It's the right 3rd of the screen that becomes unresponsive. If you swipe over on the left side of the screen, you will be able to use the right side again. This is my second day with this and it's becoming incredibly annoying.
I just realised it ! For me, the only responsive part is the left 4th of the screen. I hope Google Will fix it soon. I don't want to reset my phone.
I'm not seeing this issue... how long is it taking to freeze? also what are you guys running? stock or stock rooted?
I'm running stock. If you wait 5 seconds after the scroll bar vanishes, the right side of the screen is unresponsive. If you swipe the left side, it works again. It's really a problem when I'm doing remote desktop to my computer and when I'm playing candy crush.

You should post any post March update issues you are having, here. https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!category-topic/nexus/other-discussions/2HXGtYoPwa4
I'm running stock too. It takes aproximately 6 seconds for the touchscreen to freeze.
I just tried to reboot in safe mode : it doesn't solve the problem.

Does it happen in recovery or bootloader?
I just received the update this afternoon and I'm encountering the same issue. Quite frustrating.
I got my Nexus 5X yesterday with exactly the same issue.. Flashing any older factory image did not help. :/
I wonder if opting in to the Android N beta would have any effect. Not sure I'm ready to commit to running beta on my only phone; but I am tempted.

On my phone the problem existed on stock rom (I tried 3 drifferent versions), cm13 and N preview. I do not think that flashing any other Rom would make any difference.

Appreciate the information on your experience. Hopefully this is something Google can track down and is correctable in software.
Exact same issue for me since MHC19J. This is driving me nuts.
I've tried all versions except a full CM ROM. So stock, beta, and a few different AOSP builds. I cannot reproduce any screen issues being reported here.
Is there maybe a common app that you all share? No one has mentioned whether you are rooted or not.
another day (not) in paradise

the best example: Open Wifi Analyzer (in Listview) wait for results and the tap the "Back" Button. (not taping or swayping around during the wifi scan process).
Open Wifi-Analyzer (Listview) wait for result and tap the Backbutton. It took 34 seconds and 34 tapps on the backbutton until the screen turns off, but no reaction until i activate the screen.
Nexus 5X
Stock
Build MHC19J; OTA
No Root Access
for me it's beginnig on entering the SIM-PIN. It takes a few tries to enter my PIN.
Sometimes it's the Back-Button (Back - Menu - Switching Apps)
And it seems to be on the left side of the screen

I'm running stock without root.
Reviewing the previous posters list of apps, the only things I have in common are the standard Google apps.
Stock without root.
The issue is still there even when rebooting in safe mode, so it seems to be unrelated to any installed app.
Time to RMA I guess.
Edit:
Just read this in a reddit thread:
Update: I've managed to fix my issue by reverting back to a 6.0.0 build and formatting the cache,system, and userdata using the fastboot tool during the new rom install.

Same issues here.. Just found that thread.. Got my phone yesterday and thought it might be a hardware issues and thinking of shipping it back.. But now..
Tried newest factory image unrooted, CM13, Bliss, DU every single ROM has it.
It also appears directly after bootloader I think, where you can lock your Phone before booting the real ROM.. It's a pain in the ass!
I have this too on my wife's phone. My 5x is fine. March update caused the right side of screen to go dead to touches after 6 seconds of non use...
So annoying ..

Mic problem?

At first this started a few weeks ago. I was on LOS then. Now I've switched different roms and they all got same problem. My mic will stop working after random time. It works normally after reboot but then it just stop working. First noticed this on the calls as I couldn't here anything and neither the other one who called me.
Tried to record voice message on whatsapp and the record was full of silence. Same thing on the video recording. No voice, but works normally after reboot.
So what could cause this as its not rom related. I've tried LOS and now I'm on OOS and the problem remains. And I think it's not a physical issue as it works right after reboot. I'm confused here.
I'm on 4.1.6 firmware and currently on Latest OOS with Bova launcher. No exposed or any other tricks. Same problem with latest Los.

Android 8.1 upgrade: screen freezing in camera app on device rotation?

Hi, All -- I've got two Pixel 2 XLs: one on Android 8.0.0 and one on the final released version of Android 8.1.0. On the Android 8.1 phone, when using the camera app, the screen will freeze briefly when the phone is rotated (portrait/landscape). But this doesn't happen on the phone that's still back on 8.0. Are other people seeing this change with the Android 8.1 upgrade? Or might something else be causing this issue on my Android 8.1 Pixel 2 XL? Thanks!
Just tried this out and yes I'm getting the same on 8.1
I've just did what you say and no, it doesn't happen at all on my Pixel 2 XL upgraded to Oreo 8.1.
Did you try factory reset?
interesting! Yeah, a factory reset seems to have fixed this issue on my Android 8.1 device. Fingers crossed that this'll stay smooth.
OK, I think I sorted this out. It's Meteor Swipe that causes the problem. It must be something related to its screen overlay function that, on the Pixel 2 XL running Android 8.1 (though not 8.0), causes the camera to stutter when the screen is rotated. The issue goes away when I add the camera app to Meteor Swipe's blacklist. I wonder if other apps that require accessibility access might cause this problem in the camera app.
Not seeing this behavior between my two 2XLs. Was in beta program with the first. Can't seem to get the second one to update to 8.1.

Calls Randomly don't work - Android P

Anyone else having issues of randomly not being able to make calls? It happens almost daily where it either hangs up instantly or says no network.
Had no issues with DPs.
Pixel 2 XL Android P "Stable"

Pixel 3xl restart randomly

To who updated pixel 3xl to Android 12 beta 1
Anyone faced the issue that the phone from time to another it restarts randomly ?
If someone face it too please tell me .
Same here, no solution so far.
It is normal behaviour for Beta, even in 11 beta I had similar problems. It might be related to wallpaper as it always revert to original release wallpaper, but who knows.
So it is normal, let's wait for Beta 2
