is there a way to restart your phone with the power off and the power button not working

Sometimes plugging in the phone to a power outlet will cause the phone to turn on.

I have a power button issue as well. My power button won't do anything on my Pixel. I press it, hold it, and nothing. I would like to restart my phone, but am unable too. Screenshots are also off the table without the button working. Its not broken or anything. It presses, just doesn't work anymore. Its only a little more than a year old.

Hi SUT520,

I'm sorry to learn of any issues with the power key on your Pixel. I'd like to ask a few questions, to gather some information. Which model Pixel is it? When did this begin? Are you able to power the phone off and on? Please clarify for me.

It's the pixel. The first one. The issues of consistency started a few weeks back. But it's now unoperable starting last week. I can't turn it on or off. Holding the button down does nothing.

I see, thank you for verifying those details for us SUT520. To confirm, have you tried to check your device to see if there are any pending software updates that need to be done, or what kind of troubleshooting steps if any have you already taken to correct the problem?
