Pixel 11 owners say their phones are waking without being touched
Key Points:
- Pixel 11 and Pixel 11 Pro owners are reporting that the "Lift to check phone" feature is waking their screens with minimal movement, such as slight vibrations or being placed on a surface.
- Users note that this feature appears more sensitive on the Pixel 11 series compared to older Pixel models, with some instances of the phone waking during activities like driving or resting on furniture.
- Similar behavior has been reported on a Pixel 9 Pro, indicating the issue may not be exclusive to the Pixel 11 series.
- The current workaround is to disable the "Lift to check phone" feature in lock screen settings, though this removes the convenience of the gesture.
- Google has been contacted for comment, and users expect a software update to address the sensitivity issue in the near future.
