I have the opposite problem with pixels: they keep trying to call 911 on their own. On the past couple Pixel phones I've had, the power button started to click itself on its own and ignoring my presses. Turns out Google, in their infinite wisdom, made rapidly clicking the power button into a shortcut for calling 911.

Yes i got burned by this "feature" as well. Disabled immediately after having to explain emergency center that the phone prank called itself.

FWIW I've managed to "fix" the power button by pouring 99% rubbing alcohol over the power button while pressing the button in and out. Doesn't prevent it from happening, so this is still problematic behavior, but it at least can save you from expensive repairs or replacements.

But yes, now I disable this "feature" on my phones.

Last I checked there was an option to require screen interaction in addition to the side-button.

I believe if you wait X seconds it puts the call through
