GoKawiilPixel November update triggers AOD, lock screen, and notification bugs
Pixel owners are reporting a range of problems following this week's November 2026 Pixel Drop, including broken always-on display, lock screen glitches, malfunctioning notification drawers, and accidental touches. Some users also describe unresponsive cameras and issues with Desktop Mode, such as HDMI audio routing through the phone speaker instead of an external monitor and the icon dock vanishing after screen timeout. The reports have surfaced primarily on Reddit in the days since the update's release.
