I'm having an issue related to this right now actually. Some spec of dust or something must have gotten into the power button on my Pixel 4a, so very occasionally it'll jostle into such a position that every time I push the power button it registers as two presses. If I only press it once, it think I'm using the double-press shortcut to open the camera. This was mildly confusing the first few times it happened, but as I was trying to mess with it I triggered this emergency call shortcut (since it only requires 3 presses with this issue). Fortunately I noticed it the first time times it happened and was able to do the slide-to-cancel, so it avoided turning into a larger issue.
I've gotten it into a position where if this occurs I can blow near the power button which typically makes it go away for a day or so, but it was very scary walking around with the phone out before I understood the nature of the issue, because I wasn't sure if it would magically trigger the power button unprompted just sitting in my pocket. I've ordered a new phone (it was nearing time for an upgrade anyways) but I've yet to set it up, so I'm stuck with this for the time being.
- plewd 3y agoI love Pixel phones, but stuff like this does seem to be a recurring issue. Sometimes my phone turns off and on again when I only press the power button once. Not a huge dealbreaker, just a pain to constantly have to think about.
