When I got my Pixel 8 Pro, which I generally love, and Lock Screen Shortcuts were a new thing, I configured on for flashlight and one for DND. At first, I felt like the buttons weren’t sensitive enough and they were difficult to activate unless I got my finger JUST right, didn’t move, and held it the perfect amount of time.

Then, the last update, I am constantly seeing my flashlight turn on or my phone is randomly in DND. I think now the buttons are too sensitive. I guess someone noticed the issue I had above and way overcompensated.

Anyone else?

    I’ve had that problem. The craziest thing about this is the pain. Most of the time, the reason I discover my flashlight turned on is I feel a dull burning sensation on my thigh. I always think “huh, that’s annoying. Must be a random aberration on my skin like a zit or a bug bite”. But the burning grows hotter until eventually I either pull my phone out to feel the spot on my thigh or I go to the bathroom to check. I swear it’s happened to me a half dozen times or so by now.

    It’s not a big deal. The burning isn’t burning. Just uncomfortable having a bright LED on my skin for that long.
