    I do this on my 7 pro. It’s a slight annoyance, but for my phone the trick is to condition myself to press on the volume switch above the power button instead, when I want to adjust the volume.

      Thanks, but I don’t get it? The problem is the volume button is on the opposite side, so not above the power button. I’m not familiar with the layout of the 7 pro.

        I just mean, when you hold the phone you instinctively have your finger on the power button and audio button. That amount of force won’t press any down. But when you want change volume, you also press power button by accident. Instead, to avoid this i try to place my finger on the audio slider(ring, vibrate, silent slide, so not actually a button you press) that is above the power button. As that also forms a natural place to place your finger. At least with the case I’m using.

        It doesn’t exactly prevent pressing volume when going for the power button though, so you have to be a bit aware of if you have the finger on the audio buttons. But for me, it most happens when I change volume, and not when using the power button.

          Thanks, that was an excellent description. But it seems as the article describes, it’s a bit of a nuisance.
