FULL STORY
======================================================================Google 
Pixel phones are experiencing a few bugs They seem to have been caused by the 
recent security patch There's no official fix, but a few possible workarounds 

Its not a great time for Google at the moment. Its Chromescasts are having 
casting glitches , Google Maps is seemingly deleting timelines , and now 
Google Pixel phone users are reporting screen, sound and, haptics bugs 
following the rollout of the most recent security patch. 

Users have taken to the Google Pixel subreddit to complain about random 
brightness fluctuations , sound glitching when using third-party EQ apps like 
PowerAmp EQ, and feeling like the haptics are a lot more intense after the 
update (spotted by 9to5Google ). 

Thankfully there are a couple of suggested fixes, though were still waiting 
on an official patch from Google itself. 

When it comes to the screen brightness flickering in certain apps, some users 
have found setting their phones refresh rate to 60Hz using features like 
Battery Saver did the trick (though its not an ideal workaround). A few 
possible solutions (Image credit: Google) 

On the haptics side of things Google has said (via Reddit ) that its looking 
into reports from some Pixel users about changes to haptic intensity with it 
also offering advice on how to change haptic intensity on your Pixel device 
by going into Settings, Sound & vibration, and then Vibration & haptics. 

As for audio, you might have to make do without your third party equalizers 
for now. 

Were not experiencing the issues ourselves so we cant test these tactics out, 
but affected users are saying that the solutions work  so theyre something to 
try while waiting for a more permanent solution if the glitches are bothering 
you. 

As for the few of you who may have somehow put off installing the latest 
security update because of these glitches, you might want to reconsider. 
Glitches can be frustrating, but not everyone who updates has been affected, 
and not installing essential security patches can put your device at risk  
which could lead to problems a lot bigger than your screen brightness 
flickering. You might also like Here are the 7 best Pixel 9 and Pixel Watch 3
