Question phantom/pocket dial with Google 6

[draexo]

Been using my Pixel 6 for my daily driver since I received it after launch. Recently, I have had quite a bit of trouble with the phone screen waking in my pocket and calling random people or 911 (emergency services) or just filling the PIN unlock screen with random numbers. I believe the screen is interacting with the fabric of my clothing. I make sure to power off the screen before I put it in my pocket, and facing the screen outward instead of inward seems to make a bit of a difference. I have scoured the settings and can not find anything. The only other option I see is a full wallet type case that closes over the phone so there is no way anything can interact with the screen. This started happening with alarming frequency in April.

Am I missing something? Any suggestions on how to prevent this? Turning off wake from notifications?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry for not being able to add anything other than I too am experiencing this issue, exactly as described.

I think it could be the double tap to wake I wear jeans and don't have that problem but 8 am using a pixel 6 pro though

Same issue here.
Please use the feedback form in device settings -> about the phone to send the bug report to Google as well.
Thanks!

this never happened to me.
are you using screensaver? AOD? any kind of app which controls the screen on/off?
