“Sticky scrolling” bug makes it difficult to enjoy using the Pixel Fold،

The main problem with persistent scrolling is that the scrolling inertia is broken on affected phones. This is the feature that allows a page to continue scrolling even with your finger off the screen. Without inertia, the screen will scroll only with your finger moving the content on the screen. Rahman posted a video on his “X” page which was recorded by tech journalist Zac Bowden and which not only has its Pixel folding suffered from sticky scrolling, but a refurbished replacement unit he received also has the same problem. Bowden also tried a full factory reset and manually installed a stable version of Android 14 to see if either would help. They did not do it.

Pixel folding users: Is scrolling on the interior screen complicated for you? Some users report that the scrolling inertia on the inner screen is strange, especially on the latest models. Android 14 builds (both the latest stable version based on QPR2 and the beta version of QPR3).

A four-month-old post on the Pixel Phone help page has revealed a temporary fix. “So far my temporary solution is to turn off the screen via the power button and then turn it back on. This usually fixes the problem, but it always comes back, sometimes within 30 seconds.” This is not exactly the kind of solution that Pixel folding users want to hear about it.

The ideal solution would be an update from Google that would exterminate the bug and allow Pixel folding users to scroll without problem. On Reddit and on “X”. there are regrets on the part of some Pixel folding users to buy the phone instead of picking up the Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Sticky scrolling is an issue that has impacted Pixel folding users for months. Before this becomes a problem, Google and the Pixel folding cannot return, it is up to the company to empty the Mountain View offices, turn off all internal phones and work around the clock until this problem is resolved. Once a solution is ready, Google will have to immediately share it with Google Fold users (who paid $1,799 and up for the device).
