My phone screen randomly stopped working and I triggered the emergency shortcut trying to turn the screen on. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SmallAlmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 years ago Dude, same thing happened to me permalink fedilink source parent [–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 1 point 3 years ago It's happened to me 3 or 4 times now with my phone in my pocket.
