  • I had the same problem with my pixel 3, it had a faulty power button that would keep stuck on pressed and force a reboot

    How I “solved” it:

    1. Use a TPU cover
    2. Only block the screen with double tap on empty spot on launcher
    3. Only wake up with double tap on screen

    Symptoms that I had:

    1. If I enabled the emergency mode that sounds alarms when the power button is pressed 5 times in a row very fast, it would accidentally sound the alarm if my finger touched the button

    2. I could not easily turn on the phone if it was turned off

    3. The phone would sometimes bootloop until I gently smashed the phone on the side on the corner of a table (to unstuck the button)

    4. If during the “bootloop”, I pressed the volume button, it would go in recovery, which indicates the power button was stuck

    5. Without the TPU phone cover I could lock the screen with a very very light touch on the power button

    I didn’t get to ask how much money was required to fix it because shortly after I accidentally dropped it and got green hair lines on the screen, so I just sold it for parts on ebay





  • Same for Windows hello. “Sorry something went wrong”

    What went wrong, so I can fix it??? It needs a reboot? Restart the camera on device manager?? My face is not clear??? I need to update drivers?? Just logout???

    Client side software must always give clear indications about what’s the error. Write in tiny 6 points grey text on a white background but give hints about the solution, don’t play a game , thanks
