THE FIRST ISSUE: THE MAJOR ISSUES FOUND IN GOOGLE PIXEL 6
Most Google Pixel 6 owners have noticed that its fingerprint scanner takes too long to recognize a fingerprint compared to other phones. Google has claimed its ‘enhanced security,’ saying its fingerprint sensor takes longer to verify or too many attempts to recognize a fingerprint than other phones. On the other hand, others have blamed Google for using an optical fingerprint sensor instead of an ultrasonic sensor.

... has come out with November and December updates fixing fingerprint scanner issues. The first helps improve the performance of your device’s fingerprint scanner, and the second has general improvements for fingerprint sensor stability and performance.

Other tech analysts have provided tips to fix these issues, apart from Google’s official updates. The first tip, Google Pixel 6 owners need to reinstall a screen protector that doesn’t interfere with the in-screen scanner. Second, all Pixel 6 owners should register their fingerprint twice as the Pixel 6 phone allows you to store up to five prints. That’s why a fingerprint scanner takes more time to recognize your prints.

THE SECOND ISSUE: PHANTOM CALLING
Many users noticed that their Pixel 6 phone was dialing specific contacts, even when the phone was not in their pockets. From the updates, it is found that this issue is arising due to Google Assistant misinterpreting random words from people or audio playback. To fix this phantom calling issue, you should download the latest google app update from the Play Store for a hot-fix. Also, Google has provided the December 2021 security updates to fix the issue that unintentionally causes Assistant to start a phone call.

THIRD ISSUE: SCREEN FLICKERING/ GREEN TINT

Some of the users are also complaining of a screen green tint. However, this issue is common with Google, Samsung, and OnePlus phones.
