- | == Dirty Sensors == |
+ | == Dirty or Obstructed Sensors == |
- | It’s worth checking if the sensors at the top of the screen are smudged. The Google Pixel’s sensors at the top of the phone automatically adjust the screen brightness — if the sensors are smudged, the phone might think it’s dark out and lower the brightness. To fix this, clean the entire phone screen with a paper towel and some isopropyl alcohol. While this issue won’t be the cause of the unresponsiveness, the screen brightness could be affected by the impaired sensors. |
+ | Along the top edge of the display, several sensors are positioned to report on light levels and distance to a surface (your face, the inside of a pocket, or other). |
+ | |
+ | * Give your screen a good cleaning, especially along the top, where these sensors live. If the sensors are smudged, the phone might think it’s dark out and lower the brightness. To fix this, clean the entire phone screen with a damp microfiber cloth. |
+ | ** Use [product|IF145-305|screen cleaner] for more stubborn grime. |

== Faulty Third-Party App == | |
Recently installed third-party apps may be the cause of the unresponsive black screen. Boot into Safe Mode to check if your phone is responsive and uninstall the app at fault while you’re there. | |
- | # To boot into Safe Mode, press and hold the ***power button***. After a few seconds hold the phone's ***volume down*** ''''button. Continue to hold it down until you see Safe mode on the screen. |
- | # If the screen is suddenly responsive in Safe Mode, try uninstalling apps one by one starting with the most recent apps you installed before noticing the issue. After uninstalling each app, restart the phone back into normal mode to see if the screen remains responsive. If Safe Mode doesn't fix the problem, move on to the next possible cause—you've ruled out third party software as the issue. |
- | # To uninstall an app, navigate to the Google Play Store app > Profile icon on the top right > Manage apps & devices > Manage. Once there, find and tap on the app you think is causing the issue. You will want to tap Uninstall to remove it. |
+ | # Boot to Safe Mode. [guide|180329|Use this Guide] if you're not sure how. |
+ | # If the screen functions in Safe Mode, uninstall apps one by one starting with the most recent apps you installed before noticing the issue. After uninstalling each app, restart the phone back into normal mode to see if issue returns. |
+ | ** If Safe Mode doesn't fix the problem, move on to the next possible cause—you've ruled out third party software as the issue. |
+ | # To uninstall an app, navigate to the Google Play Store app. Select your profile icon in the top right. Then select ***Manage apps & devices > Manage***. Once there, find and tap on the app you think is causing the issue. Tap Uninstall to remove it. |
# Once you’re done, exit Safe Mode by holding down the ***power button*** for 30 seconds or more. Some Pixel phones require you to tap ***Restart***. | |
