Lock Screen Shortcuts Too Sensitive (lemmings.world)

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.

I haven't had that problem.

I have face unlock enabled, so the shortcuts typically disappear before I can touch them.

Ugh that sounds irritating. I'm still waiting to hear about a Pixel that isn't fraught with annoying issues so I can finally upgrade from my 4a. Sounds like I will be waiting a while longer.

Dunno. The biggest issues I have with my 8 so far are the absence of a headphone jack and the fact that KeePassDroid's "copy password" notification has a half-minute delay between getting tapped and copying the password to the clipboard. Otherwise it's a really solid phone.

Sure, it's not perfect but neither was my last phone.

I've had zero issues with my Pixel 6.

That's good to hear, thanks.
