Pixel 11 smartphone users are facing the issue of the screen turning on automatically. Users report that the “Lift to Check Phone” feature responds to the smallest movement, vibrations from nearby objects, or sudden turns of the vehicle, activating the display without actually having to lift the device.

According to comments RedditThe sensor sensitivity is significantly improved compared to previous generations of devices. The screen will light up if you place your device on the same table as your phone, or if you place your device on the arm of your couch. Some users wrote that similar behavior was observed in Pixel 9 Pro models, but as mentioned above Android Authoritythe overwhelming nature of the complaints indicates the specifics of the new line.
The possible cause of the failure is that the system is too sensitive to micro-vibrations and small displacements of the housing. A temporary solution to the problem is to completely disable the feature in the lock screen settings, but this also takes away the convenience of users to quickly access notifications.
Participants in a Reddit thread suggested that Google might fix the feature’s over-sensitivity issue in a future software update. Editors at Android Authority contacted the company for clarification.
