Google Pixel 9 Pro XL Screen Issues: Common Problems and Troubleshooting Tips

We’ve got a bit of a situation on our hands. Reports are flooding in of touchscreen issues on the new Pixel 9 Pro XL, specifically with input registering in the corners of the screen. Yeah, you read that right – the corners. It’s not just a matter of occasional lag or finicky response; some users are experiencing complete unresponsiveness when trying to tap or swipe in those pesky corners.

One user, Lean_account, shared their experience on Reddit, describing a “dead spot” in the bottom left corner of their screen. They’re not alone, though – Mx772 and dcdttu have also chimed in with similar issues. It’s not just a one-off problem, either; the behavior seems to be inconsistent, with some users reporting that their screen registers taps or swipes occasionally, while others are stuck with a completely unresponsive corner.

Now, this smells like a software issue to me, and it’s not surprising that some users have reported a temporary fix by rebooting their phone. However, that’s not exactly a long-term solution we’re looking for. We’ve reached out to Google to see if they’re aware of the issue and if there’s any official advice on how to deal with it. We’ll be sure to update this post with any response we get.
