Question Pixel 6 Random Freezes & Rebooting - Google Pixel 6 Pro

I am facing random freezing and reeboting issue with my pixel 6. It happens more than 7/8 times a day. Very annoying and Google is not responding to this issue. There are many similar complains like this in Google forum and there is no proper reply from Google. December update didn't fix the issue. Is it hardware issue or software? Help please.

Tried a factory reset? Are you rooted? Are you able to unlock the bootloader? If so, try flashing the full firmware image or Official Google Android Flash Tool.
If none of that helps, I'd exchange it with Google for a new replacement. Good luck!

Its a known bug https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gboard-intermittent-freeze.4377931

My one freezes randomly and not specifically for any reason or for any apps.

Do you have the december update installed? Try to disable all your Accessibility Services from the settings.
[Update: A fix is coming] Google Pixel 6 owners are facing an annoying screen freezing issue
If you own a Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro and are affected by the screen freezing bug, there’s a temporary workaround to resolve the issue.

Random rebooting seems to be a "common" Pixel 6 problem. Most were only able to fix it by getting a new device from Google, some were able to fix it with a factory reset.
Strangely enough, I had the same problems on my first Pixel 6 - then I got a replacement model, got the backup from my old phone (p4 xl) going (again) and never had any reboot problems. Then a couple days ago I rooted my Pixel 3 and transfered my files over from my main Pixel 6 Pro and got the same reboot problem on my Pixel 3 now (~about every 10 minutes of active usage). I found out that it's probably connected to the fingerprint scanner, since about every third time that I use the FP on my P3, the phone reboots. I'll probably try a factory reset on my P3, since I know that the phone worked without issue before. It was probably an unwise idea to get a backup from my P6 going, but then again, F*** Google for not giving us a decent file transfer system. If the only way to get a functioning product is to get a replacement or start with a clean slate, that's a joke in 2021.
That tells me that it's a software issue, but since it's hard to pinpoint/replicate and at least with some P6 Pro users even a factory reset was not able to help, you might have to get a replacement model.

Even vibration?

I wondered that as well. I also turn off animations. The phone switches screens faster and the fingerprint scanner works better sans animations.

May be a coincidence but.....
I have never had this problem until today.
I usually have animations off. Set them to 0.5 today and my phone froze twice.
I've turned animations off again.
(I also have accessibility services off and have not changed that)

Motion sensor not working of nexus 5x

I have used android O developer preview and downgraded to android 7.1.2 nut now motion sensor is not working.
How to fix the problem
My Nexus 5x was on the DP2 for almost 2 weeks (very satisfied with it), but after updating some apps on Saturday evening i was in a bootloop. Remedied, after updating again my 50+ apps (including Google apps) again bootloop. So i opted out of beta, and am back on 7.12. All radio fine, but sensors not working. I did a factory reset and everything is working fine.
factory reset fixes
Hi this exact situation happened to me only a day earlier. So happy to find this forum post. The factory reset fixed the issue for me too.
Dang, I was hoping there to be another solution then FSR.
Check to see if your Voicemail apps have anything to do with it. I had this problem and fixed it by disabling my voicemail app from shutting the screen when motion sensor is applicable.

[Q] Keyboard stuck when typing/entering too quickly?

Hey guys, I'm wondering if any of you have the same problem as I do. Currently, I'm having a keyboard problem where if I press enter too quickly after my last keystroke, the keyboard would visually become stuck on my screen until I either press home, or select another input area to type again. I've had this problem from the beginning when I bought this phone (Dec, 2017) and it's becoming an annoyance since I type pretty fast. Does anyone else have this issue? For the record, I'm on the unlocked Pixel 2 XL latest Oreo 8.1 build.
Steps that I've taken to try and fix this problem:
1. Deleted cache/data from GBoard app data.
2. Rebooted device.
3. Downloaded other keyboards from app store like Swiftkey (still same issue)
I've recorded a sample of my screen for you guys to see. My last resort is doing a factory reset, but I really don't want to (lots of data on my phone) unless it's 100% guaranteed to fix the issue. Any tips/suggestions is appreciated!
Unable to replicate that. Is it only with that browser?

Pixel 3 XL: Camera encountered a fatal error; blank camera

Starting today, my camera opens to a blank black screen when I launch the app. If I reboot the phone, I can successfully launch the camera app and take photos. However, if I attempt to use the camera built into Android Messages, Facebook, and even the bar code scanner app I have installed, the issue starts again. I have tried uninstalling the updates to the camera app, clearing data, and I even did a factory restore. I booted up into safe mode, then duplicated the issue there as well (this eliminates 3rd party apps as the cause). Some other threads I have read say to toggle Bluetooth or turn on airplane mode. Nothing fixes the problem.
I hopped in chat with Google Support and they had me follow this guide (which didn't fix anything). They requested the factory reset. After the factory reset, they required me to gather a bug report to send to them. I requested a replacement device, but the support technician declined and said this issue isn't something that can get a replacement device. I am very irritated I spent so much money on this device and it is already (two and a half weeks later) starting to not work.
Has anyone else on the Pixel 3 XL had this issue? Any other recommendations to fix it?
try flash-all.bat from googles factory images. could be a corrupt persist partition
I don't have an unlocked bootloader. That's required for that, right? Would I need an unlocked bootloader to flash the image?

Blank camera screen when camera opened from from another app
I have the same issue with my pixel 3 xl. Blank camera when it's opened with messages app, fb, WhatsApp, Instagram, fb messages. Called Google support and they had me clear cache, uninstall cam updates restart phone and in the end factory reset but it didn't fix it. They can't identify if it's a software issue. They even had me boot up in safe mode and had screen sharing session.
After multiple calls and hours of troubleshooting, Google will be replacing my phone. Hopefully the new phone don't have this problem.
No luck for me, unfortunately. I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the factory image. The issue persisted after the flash. I contact Google Support again and they continue to tell me the issue is going to be resolved by engineering and they will not replace the defective device. Total bummer for such an expensive brick.
On support contact #3, Google has decided to replace the device for me. Just FYI, in case anyone else has this problem with their phone. I asked for a manager during contact #2 and didn't hear anything back for 24 hours. The person I got on #3 was very nice and assisted in the replacement order.
Had the same issue with 2 of my pixel 2 xl phones. First one was sent away for 2 weeks and then replaced. replacement one lasted a couple months before it had the same issues, I demanded a RMA from google so i could get it swapped in store. The second phone that was replaced lasted a day, it had a weird bright screen flash when locking, unlocking, hanging up from a call etc. That was also RMA and returned and replaced in store.
Hope my 3 doesn't have these issues.
camera hardware is crashing when used by any app other than the "Camera" app
I have the same issues during one week. What I find is the playground and any app other than the "Camera" app attempts to access the camera hardware, the camera itself becomes unresponsive.* After that, the camera cannot be accessed by any application, including the "Camera" app. There Google support told me the engineers will fix that problem. But I'm not sure if that's a hardware issue or software issues.
I'm wondering if this is a November update issue - anyone try flashing back to first release?
Similar issue here, on November, will try to flash november again and test.
Edit:
and..... did not fix a thing. Looks like it is hardware related or if there is a hardware rev in a specific part that is not coded properly.
I can assure you that it is not an issue with November patch or any patch. I have this issue and I am still running with the stock September security patch that came with the phone. I was hoping that updating to the latest patch would fix the issue, but now I'm beginning to think that won't resolve the problem.

Random Freezing and Crashing

Hey guys, i love my pixel 3 XL its been great but it has been randomly freezing and locking up, somtimes requiring a restart.
Other time i get the system UI crashed message and then i close it and it works again. Sometimes Chrome or the camera app locks up and crashes too.
Anybody experiencing this? Any ideas on a fix, maybe the next December OTA will fix it hopefully.
Thanks

I'm getting pretty fed up of factory resetting my phone, the phone started saying it's corrupt so I ended up reflashing it and that issue is now gone, but this freezing issue happens every now and then. You really think a factory reset is worth trying? Or could have something of gone wrong with the reflash?

I absolutely would try a factory reset if things are acting strange for no apparent reason.

If you flashed the factory image it's either a hardware or app issue. Have you tried using the phone for awhile with a minimum of apps? I'd give that a try I don't think a factory reset will do anything if you've already flashed the factory image.

try the flash-all.bat then when its complete go to stock recovery and format /data
are you using substratum?
Pixel 3 XL crashing
I have had the same problem. My system UI crashes since new, along with other apps and the phone becomes non-responsive. I thought it was just a new phone glitch that would be fixed with an update, no such luck... I need to do a hard reboot by holding the power button until it reboots. I bought a Pixel 2 XL in August and never had any problems like this. I finally contacted Google about the problems and they RMA'd it. I never root my phones before making sure they work correctly, so this one is and has been stock, unrooted.
My wife and I have the 64GB models in Black (mine), White (hers). She's on her 3rd replacement phone for what seems to be a similar issue.
Symptoms:
When using the fingerprint reader to unlock the phone, it may not unlock for 10+ tries.
The phone's battery drains quickly, within a couple hours of barely any use, her phone might be down to 60-70%
System_UI crashes
Some apps don't seem to load quickly (Like going into messages, you see the app container, and a new chat button, but no messages load for a minute). Or she's had a straight up black screen, and the app wouldn't load.
Takes minutes to call or hang up a call and often takes rebooting to close out the phone app.
It almost seems like something is running in the background that is utilizing the CPU and causing the lag/app/battery issues.
Troubleshooting:
Factory Reset
Wiping Dalvik Cache
Replacing the phone twice through Verizon. The first replacement had the same issues immediately. The 2nd phone showed the same issues immediately, and then went away for 3 weeks since the Dec. 5th Security update, but in the past few days has returned.
Booted in Safe Mode (everything seems to be working fine however extremely limited).
We've also checked the processes and no apps seem to be running that would make any sort of impact.
Running out of ideas

Since the December update, the freezing issues I was having have been significantly reduced, but it still freezes sometimes... I am hoping the January update coming in the next week will smooth out any remaining bugs.
Any of you using a different launcher?
I had this freezing and non-responsive issue. The google rep, replaced it, he determined it is some kind of hardware issue. My replacement didn't have this issue at all (November update). However, the lag/stuttering still persists though. I had replaced quiet a few pixel 3 XL, and i am just getting tired of it. For a $1K phone, we shouldn't get mediocre quality of phone.
So my wife had been removing applications in small groups to try to narrow it down. It seemed for a week or so that she was in the clear and everything was working. Then all of a sudden she got the January update and her phone is still having issues.
Slow responding finger print reader.
System UI crashes
Unable to answer phone calls despite numerous attempts.
It still seems like there is something that is running in the background that is just using the processing power.

Get gsam from the app store, if you don't have it. After awhile see what apps are using battery, app sucker in the app. Gsam is a battery monitor.

Sadly, gsam and accubattery don't show anything out of the norm app wise.

Proximity sensor and auto rotate randomly stop working after updating to UI 3.0.

I'm using note 10+ snapdragon version, recently did OTA update and receive Samsung UI 3.0. After a week of usage, problem randomly appear. Video auto rotate not working when I turn my phone. During a phone call, when i place the phone near my ear, screen doesn't turn off and I start hearing my own voice, it's very interrupting.
It has a temporary fix which is restart the phone. But after a while issue will reappear. I've tried clearing cache. I've tried factory data reset and problem still will appear randomly. My phone was totally fine when I use Samsung UI 2.5!
Anyone experience same issue or have a fix?
