  • Pixel users have been reporting persistent display stuttering issues, especially when scrolling through apps.
  • An Android kernel developer traced the issue to a wrong function in Tensor’s exynos_bts driver code, causing bandwidth management problems on Pixel devices.
  • He has suggested a fix that could resolve the problem, but Google needs to take notice.

Pixel users have long complained about display stuttering when scrolling through apps. This issue has been gathering dust in Google’s Issue Tracker for some time now. While the company has acknowledged the problem, it has yet to release a fix. It keeps marking complaints on the Issue Tracker as duplicates and closing them out while also recommending users try out newer Android builds. However, the problem persists, with folks noticing it more on the Android 16 Developer Preview and beta 1 builds.
