Official Fix

• Google has fixed the issue via the Play Services Update on the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. After recent amendments in the October System Update, the issue seems to be fixed on both smartphones. 
  

Pixel 7 is reportedly receiving incompatibility issues with Pixel Stand. As per a user on Reddit, the Pixel 7 is unable to complete the setup process for Pixel Stand. Moreover, the wireless charger also does not work.  Every time, the phone is placed on Stand, it asks for setup, but reaching the step where the user has to pick Hoem OCntrol devices, the setup restarts.

• However, the issue doesn’t seem to be with the device, it could be due to the 120Hz refresh rate. The users from the 60Hz environment will feel it a bit different and that might be reflected as inappropriate scrolling. The phones are calibrated differently to compensate for the 120Hz display, so they might be there.
