Google fixes Pixel bugs affecting Wallet and bootloop issues

Google addressed a persistent Google Wallet glitch on Pixel phones that prevented contact‑less payments. The problem, linked to the early Android 17 build, was resolved with a server‑side patch, meaning users receive the fix automatically without needing a full OS update.

Separately, Google released a Google Play System Update that ends a bootloop fault affecting Pixel 4, Pixel 4a and Pixel 4 XL devices. The update repairs the underlying Android components causing the devices to restart repeatedly, restoring normal operation for thousands of users.
