      Additionally, with the Pixel 9 holding down the power button no longer turns it off, you have to press power and volume up at the same time to get to the power menu.

          I had no idea… thank you! It’s always a crapshoot if I take a screenshot or get into the power settings. So bizarre.

              Power and Volume DOWN would make infinitely more sense for “power DOWN” function.

        There’s usually a hardware level power off function for when the device freezes and stuff. Can usually hold the power button for ~10 seconds will power off the device without needing to look at the screen

        Holding the power button for 1 second also opens the menu.

      I use KeyMapper to map “long press of the lock button while screen is locked” to the lockdown/secure lock action
