Finally stopped my "problem". My phone was so erratic I was just going to get rid of it. I tried every recommended fix but nothing worked. On a whim I disabled the fingerprint sensor. I now have a properly functioning Pixel. The only downside is that I have to unlock the phone using my PIN#. I...

So are you saying this is normal or that it's a Google problem?

I give up!!! I deleted all apps other than what comes with the phone and did a factory reset. I figured that my problem would go away..... but it was not to be. It does all kinds of random things without any interaction on my part. I'm not the original owner. Do you think Google would be willing...

After trying all of the things recommended... nothing changed. Actually it got worse and the phone was very unstable. Feeling desperate I removed any app that I had installed and did a hard reset. So far so good. I intend to add back one app at a time.

I wish there was something I could do to stop the crazy things it continues to do. This morning I put on my jeans and went outside to get my newspaper. Then I heard the ringing of a video call. I took the phone out to answer the call..... but I saw that the phone was making the call. Ugh!!!

Same here Power Droid. Even after turning off the screen yesterday, because I was working, when I turned it back on..... I too was making a Video Call to a contact I haven't talked to in years.

I turn off the screen every time before slipping it into my pocket. About half the time when I turn it back on it's open to something I've never used. Very puzzled!! I checked the Pixel 3 forum but didn't find any similar issues.

After spending a lot of time trying to figure out this problem a I may know what's happening...at least in my situation. I believe the right navigation button, (recently opened apps) is the most likely culprit. I think it senses activation and is opening random apps. Does this sound plausible?

I have had numerous issues similar to those already mentioned. When I pull my phone out of my pocket it may be trying to make a video call, show the current weather, open an app. or start a text to name a few. I contacted Google and, although helpful by listening to my issues, they were not able...
