My Op5 just called someone on its own, no pocket butt dial. How is that even possible

[Hastaloego]

Ok my Op5 has a pin and fingerprints, also bluetooth was off, so no BT Headset mixup there either.
And still, somehow, while with screen off, charging and laying locked on a table far away from me, it just called my father at 3:40 am...
i only noticed that cause my phone was ringing unexpected, remember its still 3:42 am... and my (very pissed) dad was calling me back, asking me why (the f.) i called him in the middle of the night..
which i clearly didnt.. but when i checked the call log, there was really an outgoing call at 3:40 am lasting 43 sec.

how is that even possible ?
im on OOS 4.5.8

Happened the same to me with my previous phone and it was my smartwatch the problem, in the middle of the night I somehow touched the screen and it called a random favorited contact...

Also do you have perhaps OK Google enabled?

You should turn on pocket mode from settings...

bluetooth was disabled and yes ok google is enabled but not to unlock the phone, which was locked.

pocket mode is on but phone was laying on the table, charging.

Put the phone screen facing down?

SkyNet just became self aware on your OP5! Destroy it now before it takes over everything!

 

[Hastaloego]

oops it did it again... this time my phone called my mom on its own...
i have absolutely no idea how this is even possible... now i have dialer and contact app into the app locker and removed phone rights from every app who doesn't absolutely needs it.

Dude you seems to have some bloatware which might case such an issue i suggest you check all phone and call permissions and see if any suspicious app using call or phone premission you should turn off this and see if it will happen again

I checked for malware and virus with 5 or 6 anti virus tools.
also checked permissions. nothing suspicious

Anti virus on Android is a joke and completely useless. It won't detect anything that could be causing it.


The only way to know for sure is to catch a logcat when it happens. Other then that I would do a full wipe and only install apps from the play store.
