Google Pixel: Users report missed calls without phones ringing
Pixel owners say incoming calls are being silently missed, with reports suggesting the issue may be linked to the Google Phone app or recent Android software updates.
Google Pixel users report phones missing incoming calls without ringing.
Google Pixel users are reporting a frustrating issue that causes incoming calls to go unnoticed, with many saying their phones fail to ring even though they later receive notifications for missed calls.
The problem has been widely discussed over recent weeks on Reddit, Google’s Issue Tracker and Android-focused online forums. Users say their devices show missed call notifications despite never displaying an incoming call or playing a ringtone.
Reports suggest the issue affects several Pixel models, with many users running Android 17. However, some complaints appeared before the latest Android release, while others have continued on the Android 17 QPR1 beta, indicating the problem may not be limited to a single software version.

Some users believe the Google Phone app could be contributing to the issue after reporting that changing certain app settings reduced or eliminated the missed-call problem.
Others have found temporary success by resetting their mobile network settings. The suggested workaround involves navigating to Settings > System > Reset > Reset Mobile Network Settings and then restarting the device. Several users said this restored normal call notifications, although the fix does not appear to work permanently for everyone.
Google has not officially confirmed the cause of the issue or announced a permanent fix. Users experiencing the problem are advised to keep both the Google Phone app and their device software updated while monitoring future software releases for a possible resolution.
The reports highlight ongoing concerns about smartphone reliability, particularly when core calling functions fail to operate as expected.
