07 November 2021
The weird bug is seemingly related to the Google Assistant misbehaving and is mostly happening on Pixel 6 phones.

Enjoy those Samsung kickbacks

    Google is selling us not a true flagship SoC. Hence, why the 6 is only $600. The next Tensor could be really special IF it gets AMD. If it's only for Samsung's own Exynos, forget it. Stuck with ARM Mali again and poor performance for Genshin Impact and emulation.

      No wonder pixel phones are considered to the iPhones of the Android world.

            Too much assistance can be a bad thing. So I rely on myself and not assistants (which is a proxy excuse to collect info on you-yet another way-help build a better app as they claim)

                      Same exact thing here. Mine always calls a Stephanie and happens rather consistently when I trigger the bedtime routine.

                      My bedtime routine includes reading a poem, which it never finishes and then in the middle of it I hear “ calling Stephanie”

                          Okay that's serious issue with people who can't see and use assistant. C'mon Google, you can do better!
                          So disappointed in these Pixel 6 series, at least the design is amazing...

                            just tried recreating it copying the video and mine works exactly as it should.

                              I had this happen 3 times during the first 2 days with my new pixel 6 pro. I disabled Google assistant and it hasn't happened since. 2 of the 3 times happened while I was sleeping
