Google is finally taking decisive action on a persistent bug that has frustrated Pixel 9 and Pixel 10 owners since a software update rolled out in May. The issue centers around the speakerphone toggle, which lags severely or fails to respond during calls. Reports about the problem have steadily surfaced on r/GooglePixel, a dedicated subreddit for Google’s phone lineup. While a sluggish speakerphone toggle may seem minor at first glance, frequent speakerphone users know just how disruptive this glitch can be.
The root cause of the bug remains unclear. Many users suspect it’s linked to the changes Google made to the user interface during the May update, but Google has yet to offer direct insights or explanations. This lack of official information left many affected users feeling isolated in their frustration. However, the Android Issue Tracker reveals the problem is widespread. If you own a Pixel 9 or 10 and have been waiting for a fix, there’s disappointing news: Google has closed the official bug report after deeming it “Won’t Fix (Infeasible)”, as highlighted by Piunikaweb.
No Immediate Fix
In a statement, Google explained, “We’re closing this issue due to not having enough actionable information. If you continue to have this issue, please file a new issue and add the relevant information along with a reference link to the earlier issue.” This decision comes as a blow to Pixel 10 owners, who are grappling with this frustrating bug on devices barely four months old.
Unless a significant influx of new bug reports prompts reconsideration, it is unlikely Google will revisit the issue. For users still dealing with speakerphone problems, filing a detailed bug report is the best way to help Google investigate further and potentially develop a solution.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the only bug generating frustration among Pixel users—some are also dealing with a lingering emergency 911 bug since the launch of the Pixel 9 Pro. It’s clear that Google faces ongoing challenges in maintaining reliable software for its flagship devices, leaving many to hope future updates will finally bring relief.
