Theres no way it can unlock in your pocket if you have a secure lock pin pattern face recognition or fingerprint. So i don't see your problem in this?
It won't open any apps if it is locked.
So what is everyone complaining about.
As for me my touch protection works just fine.

Problem isnt security. I use face rec. and fingerprint. But phone every step while walking waking up. Battery drain very very fast. Because wake up and screen on for 10 seconds. Yesterday i walked 1 hours, my phone screen on 15 minutes in my pocket. Is it normal for you. There is a big problem
There is possibility to unlock phone in pocket if you have set on "on-body detection" in "smart lock".
I initially had Ghost Touch problems during jogging but with the change of placement of the phone, i now dont have that. Make sure that the screen faces the pocket side not the thigh side. Most of the ghost touches/DT2W happen while interaction with the thigh.

I have some problem and resolve this with disable double tap wake
up
FIXED!!!
I found the fix! Thank the lord, because this was very annoying. (I'm using A50, not sure if this fix will work for S10 and A70).
You can re-enable the double-tap and lift to wake, you can even re-enable on body detection, fingerprints, trusted location and gear(smart watch, headphones etc) unlocking methods, because none of them are the issue.
The issue is Samsung decided to ship the phone with flip wallet automatic unlock enabled.
To fix it:
Go into settings -> scroll down to advanced features -> click accessories -> turn off automatically unlock on flip wallet.
I have not had the issue since I changed this setting, I have double tap to wake and lift to wake both enabled. I have face detection on. I even have smart-lock on for my galaxy watch and a trusted location.
I am not using finger scan(too slow) or on body detection(don't need it, nor do I trust it), but have also tested them and they work fine after this change.
This single handedly fixed the issue for me after weeks of searching the web and trying different settings. So thank you Samsung for shipping the device with an obscure setting that very few people will use enabled!
Cheers, please spread this so that others can find out.

From few days. My A50 is getting automatically unlocks in my pocket. Is anyone is facing the same issue ??
Please specify more details. What do you mean by automatically unlocks? You get an alert or something? Does it unlock and launch apps on it's own when you place it in your pocket? Which biometric methods are turned on and is Google smart lock on?
Sometimes a random app opens when i check my phone. Currently i am using fingerprint unlock method for my device.
To prevent that, turn on Accidental Touch option and cure the phone

Accidental touch option is already on.
Check some apps installed. Maybe some of them making trouble.
On my phone, all's good. Hmmm.
My A50 is getting automatically unlocks in my pocket. I am also facing the same issue. I am using biometrics and faceunlock . Accidental touch is also turned on. Whats the use of secuirty if it can be unlocked my pocket can unlock this phone without biometrics and face. I face so many times in a day. I read samsung s10 also facing this same issue.

Hey I am not having any issue like that. Turn off your facial recognition and see if it still happens.

Smart lock or anything on?
Listen, turn off all biometric methods and only keep pin/pattern and see?

I am facing the same issue. My phone become hot, and there is a message that biometric unlock fail for 5 times and I have to insert the pin. Meanwhile, the battery drained at least 7-8%
heat is normal while playing game, may b u shud try hard reset. Hope it will solve problem. I am using face unlock coz biometric unlocks takes time to unlock. Biometric i use rarely sometimes may b our screen has sometimes white layer of dust or oily . So that can be the reason for fngerprint problem.
Maybe u are using smart lock
Hi, Please check if you are using trusted location or device. If that option turned on turn off trusted location or device. I can not surely tell you where the option is because I will receive my device tomorrow. but there must be a option.
Just visit a service centre. Its already in warranty period. So dont worry.
a50 unlocks

Hi all ,
My samsung A50 also have the same problem , automatically unlocking while in pocket on driving, tried different settings as per various suggestions, such as accidental touch, home screen app changes, disabling of trusted devices,on body detection..etc..etc....
But no use, the issue existing .
But after a recent setting change, now its ok , some days over, till no problem. Try it , May be its workout .
And reply me the result ,...
Firstly make sure , all the normal settings are ok , accidental touch protection enabled /also disable the on body detection , trusted devices/ driving, ....the same is in the link of Smart Lock .
Then
Advanced Features - Motions & Gestures - disable the lift to wake & double tap to wake.
Other items will enable no problem , such as smart stay,alert,easy mute .
Try it and reply
Go to settings ---》 smart lock --》voice match --》while driving (turn off)
Same issue on my A70.
The "Accidental touch protection" feature doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe because it doesn't have a sensor, just the camera? Either way, the software is bugged.
I ended up turning off "Double tap to wake", as I don't really need that.
I also have the same problem that the phone unlocks in my pocket.
So iam trying now the options above to turn off some options.
I'll let know if it will work or not.
Yes my divice also unlocking automatically while in pocket
I have already activated "Accidental Touch Protection" option in my Samsung A50.
But Still when Phone is in pocket Lock screen gets activated and some keys are getting pressed.
Was having the same problem, someone suggested this fix and I have yet to test if it actually works but it seems fine till now.
What he suggested was going to settings > accessories > turn off automatic unlock from flip wallet
You can also disable double tap to wake & lift to wake and it'll also fix the issue, but that's not really a fix. The flip wallet disable thing, though, seems like an actual fix and you can keep all your settings enabled.

Hi there
I just switched from a Asus Zenfone 5z which has a dedicated fingerprint sensor. So one touch and you ard on home screen.
Now the fingerprint sensor on Note 10 + is slow, also the fact that one has to first click the side key and then put the finger on the screen and seemingly wait for 2 sec.
It is nowhere near as fast as the zenfone 5z.
Have you guys got any better solution or idea to unlock it fast.
Thank you for your time.

You don't exactly have to turn on phone to use fingerprint reader.
If you know the position of fingerprint reader then putting your finger there would turn on and unlock phone. But that would be if you can get it on right position. If not it would tell you and then you can readjust as it will then show you.
Other option would be to have always on display and would show position of fingerprint reader.
You can also double tap to wake up phone as well. Then go through same process.
Hope some others could add more but these has been what I've found out with my usage.

Enable the gesture "lift to wake"
Enable "always on display" so that you always see the finger print location.
What ever finger you use most for the finger print, scan it for 2 spots out of the 4 available. So I have my left thumb for 1, right pointer for 2, and right Thumb for 3 and 4. My right thumb is now always solidly fast.

1. Please clarify : Do you mean to register the same right thumb twice to increase accuracy of the right thumb, as that is what I mostly use.
2. Currently always on display is set as tap to show.
Does making it always show have any significant reduction in battery.
And that you for your time, you are very helpfull.

Didn't even know that I had to just press the locked screen.
Also thank you for recommending the lift to wake up gesture, has increased the speed a lot.
Still wondering if I can use NFC to keep it unlocked as it is always kept on a phone stand.
Many thanks for your time.

You can use Smart lock Trusted places under settings-lock screen to keep phone unlocked. You just have to turn on phone then just swipe to go into phone without password but it will lock after a certain timeframe if not used.

I do know about Smart Lock but prefer not to use it as keeping the GPS on does feed the location data to other apps as well, not something I prefer to give away.
Thank you for the recommendation though.
You can register your face as well. It works really fast with lift to wake up gesture.
Smart lock can be used without GPS on, it uses a trusted wifi network to keep the phone unlocked or, if you have one a bluetooth speaker...
Don't need GPS at all...
Another vote for smart lock but with a wearable like a wear os watch. I pretty much never have to unlock my phone.
In case helpful to someone else, I enabled the increase touch sensitivity setting under Display settings and the fingerprint seems to work much quicker as I don't have to press down harder.

#1 YES
#2 It's a 4300mah battery, the AOD doesn't even dent it.
Happy to help!
I have AOD set to always on, and it is super easy to unlock.
I pick up the phone, hold my thumb on the sensor and it is unlocked instantly. I don't see how it could get any better than that!

Hi, I did turn it on after reading your post, enabled my location with GPS off and wifi connected but it doesn't work.
Is there anything special I need to do in this regard.
Thanks

Yes I turned ut on as well as the phone comes with a factory applied screen protector and that is what that setting seems to be for. Should have been on by default.
Hello. I am on the very latest firmware update, and noticed that the phone comes on in my pocket sometimes, especially if wearing thinner material like surf trunks. I have it set so it shouldn't do so (I forget the setting name). This has been an issue since it will register unwanted touches, and therefore, open apps, call people, etc. without my knowledge. Does anyone else have this issue? If so, any fixes?
As a note, I have touch sensitivity turned on, since I am using a tempered glass screen protector. However, without this turned on, the phone does not always register my taps/touches.
Try going into settings, select accessories and disable Automatic unlock with Flip wallet. The phone was shipped with this enabled, even if you don't have or use that kind of case.
Also see if you have 'Double Tap to Wake' turned on in Settings, Advanced Features, Motions and Gestures
I had double tap turned off previously; sorry I forgot to mention that. I just turned off the wallet flip auto unlock. I will test it out for the next few days and see if that resolves the issue. Thanks for all the help.
I don't know what is happening but during the day, i can double tap or use power button to wake screen and use biometric inputs to unlock.
But when its left overnight i have to swipe up and enter pin, never used to happen on the S10 Plus.
Theres no schedule reboot ect on so this should not happen?
S20 Ultra 5G.
Anyone have ideas?
I'd say your handset is auto restarting. Maybe check to see if you have enabled a scheduled "Auto Restart"
I checked all that, theres no auto or scheduled restarts.
Just set to lock after 5 seconds of inactivity, but that isn't the issue as i can leave it for a few hours in the day and it doesn't ask for the pin.
it's normal for faceunlock you have to enter pin every 24 hrs or so and for fingerprint every 72 hrs i believe... somewhere in biometric settings there is text that explains this. yeah it's a normal security feature.

S20+ here (upgraded from S10+), I have this issue too, wasn't there on S10+. Kinda annoying. You can keep your screen on while charging in developer options, but I like the AOD because it shows the time on my nightstand.
you have to pin/pattern every 4 hours if you dont use the phone. i'm honestly regretting buying such rubbish flagship phone that force "feature" down your throat. the fp cant scan for **** too.

Yeah kind of sucks, with the mate 20 pro, i had lift to wake and face unlock, it would literally instantly unlock if i picked up the phone and held infront of my face in total darkness. The s10 and s20 cant do that. If i set lift to wake there has to be some background lighting for one and the other half it asks for the pin anyway. Frustrating.
