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.

As the header says...
I use glasses, so...
I do not use any face recognition anymore but use my Lametric clock bluetooth to "smart" unlock.
Other smart unlocks do not seem to work properly; like trusted places.
Same with my note 9. Says it's not connected. ("Can't add device, be sure...") Yes I am sure it's nearby and it's paired
Voice unlock works reasonable but starts up the assistent.
If anybody has a hint to use other smart unlocking tools..
I use Google Wif
Idem Automateit.

Pfff how I miss the finger....
In order to get rid of the "Touch input is blocked" message you have to disable a display setting.
Open your device settings and go to the 'Display' menu. Scroll down a bit under 'Display' and find the setting that says 'Block accidental touches'. Disable that toggle and you shuold no longer see the message.
Pfff, that did it. some people know everything.
Thanks a lot!

I got this message in Note 9 and compared to behaviour of my wife's Note 9 whose phone was ok and found what's causing it.
Block accidental touches toggle made no difference for me.
Go to Accessibility then Dexterity and interaction and check if option for easy screen on is on. If it is, turn it off. Then it works as supposed.
In my case with this feature on, after covering the sensor, my screen would come on after about 30 seconds with said error. With it off, it turns off completely as I remember on my Note 8.
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 am using a50 for a month. When İ am walking ,my phone is random wake up in my pocket. In screen settings Accidental touch protection is on,

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.
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 have an issue with my new a52s: when it's in my pocket, often the screen turns on and starts digiting (I think in the emergency call window).
Of course I have enabled the accidental touch protection, but it doesn't work.
Is there a way to disable the emergency call button on the lock screen? Other ideas? :-/

'We meet again'
I had the same issue. Never like that with a previous phone, it's really seems like a Samsung thing for me. I even accidentally actually called the emergency services from my pocket last week, first time ever that that happened :-(
I did seem to fix it for me though, by disabling double tap to wake (Settings|Advanced Settings|Gestures). In fact I cleared all the first four settings on that page.
So the way I have it configured now tapping or pressing the locked screen only let' me unlock with my fingerprint and nothing else, for all other use I have to press the powerbutton first.
Thanks Sanderbos
It's a shame to miss that feature, though... :-/
