The Google Pixel 10 series is here, bringing a faster than faster tensor chip and several smaller refinements at the table. Of course, no launch is perfect and bugs are expected. Unfortunately, the beginnings of the Pixel 10 were more rocky than usual, with several surface problems almost immediately. Let’s take a closer look at some of the most commonly reported launch problems, as well as troubleshooting tips for your Pixel 10 to work well.
Problem 1: Pixel 10 Audio problems during calls 911

Most launch bugs are minor drawbacks. This is potentially deadly. Some owners of Pixels 10 report a bug where 911 calls fail to connect or, when they connect, the audio is blurred. Instead of hearing the distributor, the appellants come up against noisy beeps, cries and deformed noise. At the other end, the distributors would little more than charabia.
Potential solutions:
- Google is aware of the problem, but there is no official correction yet. The best option is to wait for a software update. If you are worried, consider keeping a backup phone available for emergencies.
- Even if the audio fails, the reports suggest that the distributors still receive your location and can remind you. The reminders would have been clear.
Problem 2: Show problems, especially a snow bug
The display problems are quite common with new devices, but the problem of Pixel 10 goes beyond dark colors or washed tones. Some owners report the screen showing in intermittently lively and static snow or multicolored bars. We even encountered the problem with our Pixel 10 examination unit. Although the phone remains technically responsive, the screen makes it almost impossible to use. The good news is that this is probably due to a GPU pilot error or another software problem, and it will therefore not take long before the problem is repaired.
Potential solutions:
- Google solved the problem, although you will need the September 2025 security update, which started to deploy on September 3. The new update includes many improvements and corrective, and also occurs to resolve the snow bug on the screen.
- Have you updated and noticed that you are still having problems? You may want to contact Google to see if this is another problem or if you need to return your device for a replacement.
Problem 3: RCS problems with the Google Pixel 10 family

Potential solutions:
- If you used RCS on another phone, you must deactivate it on your old device by going to Messages> More options> Settings> RCS cats Then select Disable RCS cats.
- You no longer have your old device? Google also has a form You can use where you put your phone number and it sends you a digital verification code to deactivate it from old devices.
- Even if you do nothing, it is possible that the problem is solved, because it takes a day or two for RCC to deprivate your old device and by automatically reproving a new one.
Problem 4: Auto Android Problems such as slow behavior or non-compliance

While Android Auto has become much more stable in recent years, it is always something that new devices have regularly encountered problems. Most of these problems generally concern slow response times or even failure of the complete connection. It is also true for Pixel 10, As at least a few users have reported problems Where Android Auto acted extremely insensitive and was slow to update the information.
Potential solutions:
- For most users, all you have to do is make sure you have the latest version of Android Auto. It seems that Google has already corrected the application to solve this problem.
- Still not working? At least, some people have been successful with factory reset to reset their devices (instructions below), although it is an extreme measurement and should only be taken if nothing else works.
Problem 5: Problems with the use of the Google portfolio on the Pixel 10

Some owners of pixels 10 have have trouble adding new payment methods to Google Wallet. The reports indicate specific banks, Citibank in particular, as current problematic zones. It is not clear if it is a Google glitch or a security side measurement.
Potential solutions::
- Some users report success by directly calling their banks to add the card. It turns out that these are often security problems on the side of the bank here, and therefore they can often raise preventive problems, so that you can add your card successfully via Google Wallet.
- Try activating and deactivating Wi-Fi. After that, you will want to enter the settings and erase the Google Wallet cache.
- Beyond that? It is possible that this is a problem that will eventually be developed between affected banking partners and Google.
Problem 6: General performance problems and instability

On Reddit and elsewhere, users report general instability with the Pixel 10. The problems vary, but include camera bugs, accidents of the parameter application and the features of the broken AI. These seem to be standard growth pain of the launching day, although the problems of pixels 10 seem more widespread than usual.
Potential solutions:
- At this point, the only reliable correction is to wait for updates. Most of these problems should be resolved in upcoming fixes.
