Lock screen activates while using phone - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Hello.
I'm having a weird issue when occasionally while I'm using phone, it locks me out into lock screen. It happens several times a day and even while I'm interacting with the screen like during scrolling.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this and maybe have a tip what could cause it or how I can trace it without going through disabling apps or resetting settings?
Thank you.

Randomly waking to lock screen every little while...

I have the E980 and am really happy with it, but lately it's been acting weird where it will just randomly wake up and go to the lock screen for no apparent reason, no new texts or anything. Even if I physically press the lock button to lock it back up, it keeps happening. Has anyone else had this issue and know how to fix it? I'm also *relatively* new to android, is there some setting I don't know about? Thanks!
Hey I actually figured it out! In case anyone else has this issue, get WakeLock Detector from the Play store. It figured it out for me instantly, it turned out to be some Tron Light Bike game

Touch issue

It's a huge problem for me. I've noticed the touch problem occurs only in the middle part when I can see the touches.
It scrolls up and down by itself. touches many time that drives me crazy. It's not allowing me to do anything. And it happens randomly.
I have no screen protector. And I have tried disabling developer part, disabling knock, and factory reset. but no lock so far.

Phone keeps switching to Power Save Mode

I have no rules set for switching into power save modes, yet I keep finding my phone in power save mode with all the radios turned off. I'm using a case with a viewing window if that means anything. Anyone else having this issue?
I had this issue, and my wife had it too. I ended up disabling the power saver on both our phones. I have since enabled it again on mine, and it has been behaving properly. No idea what causes it or why mine now seems to be working OK, but it is a very annoying bug.
How did you disable it?

I use the "Disable Application" app by BIZKAI Apps from the Play Store. You need root, obviously.
I was afraid of that. I've not rooted the phones yet.

This has been happening to me also and i dont have it set to switch but it will randomly do it and turn off my network. This phone is really pissing me off.
Something you might want to try is to go to power saver-> smart switch-> switch by schedule and change it from battery saver to normal. It sounds like a bug that someone mentioned a while ago: smart switch's switch by schedule runs even when it is not turned on.

Not related to OP's issue as they have the View Case which I hope prevents this, but I have found that the phone activates in my pocket and often enables flight mode, power saving mode, and other random toggles. Noticed that when the phone is in a pocket facing my body, wild things happen. facing away and nothing happens.
Take your phone out, turn the screen on and rub it on your knee. You will see that the touch screen is so sensitive that it responds through the fabric of your plant leg. This seems to be a problem for me from time to time, but the new slide to unlock on the view window has fixed some of the issues.

Issue since the MHC19J update

I've been having a really strange and annoying issue with my 5X since the latest OTA. Every few hours or so, I have issues unlocking the screen on my device. I'll place my finger on the sensor and it'll vibrate as if the print was accepted, but the screen won't turn on. Or I'll press the power button and the lockscreen will come up, but when I type in my code or use the sensor, the screen turns right off again. Another example is when I use my flip cover, sometimes the screen won't go off after closing it and it won't come on when opening it.
The only way for me to fix it is to reboot the device which can be really annoying as it happens pretty often.
I'm on a stock unrooted/locked/encrypted MHC19J 5x
Has anyone else been having a similar problem? Any ideas on fixing it?

Have you tried a factory reset?
Do you have any apps that control the screen in any way?
I'm having the same issue on my wife's 5x. Stock, not rooted, unlocked bootloader.
I flashed the latest MHC19J factory image, including userdata, factory reset. The phone seems OK but after less than a day the issue reappears.
Hello, are you using a screen glass tempered because they're some problem with the proximity sensor, in my case this was happening during a call. The change of protection to resolve my problem
Indeed, the phone has a tempered glass screen protector. It also has a Nexus 5x Folio cover and it seems that the issue disappears when not using it. I would blame the magnetic sensor.

Screen Keeps Turning On

My phone keeps waking up, not to the ambient display but to the OG lock screen, it happens within 10 to 20 seconds after turning the screen off, and keeps happening over and over again. I guess it must be a third party app because it doesn't happen in safe mode, so my question is, is there an app I can use to determine the culprit? I don't see any option to disable third-party apps, only uninstall them, which is highly inconvenient, to keep uninstalling apps to see if they are keeping the phone awake, then having to reinstall them if they don't seem to be the culprit.
Is anybody else having this problem?
I got lucky on a Google search and learned that it was the Ring app! Apparently there's been a little bug where it turns the screen on even when it's not supposed to give you a notification.
