Pixel 6 Ghost Calling Random Contacts Due to Reported Google Assistant Bug, Fix Coming Soon

According to reports, Pixel 6 users have encountered a new call error that automatically makes calls to random users in the contact list. The report indicates that Google Assistant may be the culprit for this problem faced by early adopters, and it also provides a temporary fix to prevent unauthorized automatic calls. Users call this phenomenon a ghost call or a phantom call. Google is also aware of this problem and said it is working hard to fix it.

The problem is obviously due to the fact that Google Assistant misheard the trigger phrase “Hey Google” plus improper audio processing and misunderstood the command to call someone. A user on Reddit reported this ghost phone issue on Pixel 6, detailing that the phone called “a friend I have never called before” in the early morning without any prompts.

The other time happened at night, when the user was reading a book, and the room was silent. According to reports, the Pixel 6 faces down, and users will realize when they hear the tone during a call. It is said that this phone has a phantom calling the user’s friend in Europe. 9to5Google even shared a video in which the Google Assistant spontaneously makes a call on the Pixel 6 without any triggering command.

Most users who reported phantom call problems said that they never said the hot word “Hey Google” and did not ask to call any contacts. According to reports, this problem can be resolved by restarting, albeit temporarily.

If you want to prevent the Google Assistant from making any accidental calls when the phone is locked, users can disable “Assistant response on lock screen” in “Settings”. Go to “Settings”> “Google Assistant”> “Lock Screen”> “Assistant Response on Lock Screen”.

As mentioned earlier, Google confirmed to 9to5Google that it is aware of this problem and is working to fix it. This problem is likely to be resolved in an upcoming update.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.

As Tom’s girlfriend and co-star Zendaya will be busy filming Spider-Man 4 in 2025, she’ll reprise her role of Chani in Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi spectacle Dune 3 only in 2026. Meanwhile, Tom is also likely to make an appearance as Spider-Man in Russo Brothers’ Avengers: Doomsday, which will go on floors in the spring of 2025.
