Edit: Many thanks to @[email protected] for suggesting that I hold all three buttons down. That appears to have worked! 🙏
Pixel 6 Pro. Yes, I did a factory reset after patching. No, I wasn’t aware there was an issue. Yes, I understand there’s no fix for this.
My question is, how do I turn off the phone once it is in this state? I’ve tried holding power alone, power + volume up, and power + volume down for varying periods of time up to 30 seconds each. I’ve tried in the recovery menu and at the error screen. I’ve tried catching it during the restart. Can someone help me please?
There was a lot of coverage of it back at the beginning of July. Wish I’d paid more attention then haha.

Google’s official position is “contact us” which I did today, but they wouldn’t tell me whether it would cost me or not without sending them a video of the problem, which rubbed me the wrong way. I know my phone is out of warranty now but the manufacturer broke this with their own update. Probably no more Google hardware for me. 😐

Thanks for sharing that! Hopefully I don’t have any catastrophic failures any time soon.
