Somehow my phone unlocks itself in my pocket without my finger print. I have all those recognized devices setting disabled.
It's done it 3 times or so now. Today it just set up like 6 new home screens, turned on NFC, and it always calls or texts my little sister, never anyone else. The phone was just in my pocket while I was sitting here using the computer, I hadn't touched it physically in an hour.
I have the lock screen setup using fingerprint or passcode. Fingerprint scanner seems to work fine otherwise.
Stock rooted MM, not even debloated.
Any ideas? I'd get rid of it but there really isn't anything out I am interested in currently.
Do you have any trusted devices associated with it? Sounds like that may be the problem, or nfc tags if you have any

I have my house as a trusted zone, but it is not enabled in the settings. I disabled it due to it not being very trustworthy. I keep BT and NFC turned off all the time as I don't use them.. There shouldn't be any way for this phone to unlock in my pocket, as far as i can tell.
I'm wondering if it's a 6.0 upgrade glitch, I've noticed a few oddities, such as the "safe volume" resetting itself after days of use, randomly. It should only ask you if you're sure after restarting the phone, but sometimes it will just kick in, lower the volume below the threshold, and the warning box will come back up. I listen to my phone ~8 hrs a day at work.

This issue is troubling me, it's not too much of a hinderance but I don't understand why it's doing it. I've set a PIN on lock screen to unlock, but I've got smart lock trusted to my watch (Sony smartwatch 2). It's ok for the most part, but I'm finding that after half an hour or so of being left alone, the phone asks for the pin code. Cannot understand why? The watch isn't disconnecting or anything as far as i know.

It happens to me, not within 30 minutes, but if i leave it overnight while i sleep. I'm not sure if its a bug or a feature to deep-lock the phone after x-amount of time of not being unlocked.
Happens to me.

I've got home wifi set and car set to smartlock but even after logging on to them, the first time I use phone after log in I have to enter code, after that everything works. Also after sleeping during night, in morning have to enter code first time upon waking up. So I think it is a bug.

Same here with a Nexus 5. Smart watch and home location set as smartlock but each morning a manual unlock is required. Maybe it is designed to work that way.

bug or not
did this get resolved ?
I've noticed that smart lock automatically locks after 4 hours of non-use.

Now it even puts a pull down notification saying that too.
Is anyone else having trouble with trusted locations? Mine keeps automatically turning itself off after one unlock. For example, I have both my home and work set as trusted locations, but after the first time of unlocking at each location the setting slider will disable and I have to enter my code for each subsequent unlock.
Any advice??
My switch doesn't turn off, but every now and then it likes to make me enter the pattern like I'm away from home and will continue for a whole, then randomly go back to working correctly. Not sure what causes it, maybe the GPS going crazy for a few minutes? Don't know.
Haven't had this happen on the N6 yet, but had this happen on my N5. Not sure why it was happening, but it was frustrating.
I'm running lmy48i rooted. Project fi the whole time.
My phone is randomly, not duplicatably, unlocking itself in my pocket, or as I'm holding it. It's not a power button issue, as much as i want it to be. Ambient display is off
I've pulled the phone from my pocket with it unlocked in camera mode, having taken numerous pictures, no on screen buttons working because it's not "unlocked". I've picked up my phone and it unlock itself straight to the home screen, with a good 5 second lag before the lockscreen kicks in.
This happens with a pin code lock also.
I don't want to have to factory reset, as I'd rather pinpoint the problem in case it is indeed something I've done, so i don't replicate it after a reset and still have the problem.
Anybody have any ideas what i could look at for this? It's not always been this way, but it's so random, i can't pinpoint any changes or programs that i have that would be causing it.
I've searched my heart out, but all my searches come up with other related things and I've not seen any one with this specific issue

Settings -> Security -> Smart Lock -> enter your pin -> On-body detection -> turn that crap off.
Personally, I use Trusted devices (BT smartwatch,) and can understand Trusted places. But I don't know who'd want to keep their device unlocked when it's being carried around, possibly by a thief.
Tried that also. I tried toggling it on for a while then back off to see if maybe that'd jog some setting, but it hasn't fixed the issue.
I've even disabled smart lock altogether to see if that would work, and it hasn't.
Edit
I've only recently enabled pin lock to make sure i wasn't in fact leg-unlocking my phone through my pants. But enabling pin lock, smart unlock or not, hasn't changed the situation.

My device is completely stock.
I have noticed that the screen will randomly wake on its own to the lockscreen.
If i get a notification it does this however will also do it with nothing apparently new having happened.
Any ideas?
I noticed this before on my P9-L:ite but haven't seen it yet on my P10. In my case, I believe it happens when the phone loses or regains internet connectivity. Since networks are kind of spotty where I am, it happens somewhat often.
i have the p10 plus and i have the same situation...... any solutions?
Mine only does this when receiving a snapchat from someone. Could it be app related?
My one week old P10 plus has the same problem. It happens when I lock the phone while any app is active (I tried with a few apps). However, it doesn't happen when I lock the phone while the home screen is active.
Has anyone found a solution?
Still interested in this–
started happening to me a few days back aswell; I noticed the change after shooting some balls with my phone in the pocket, screen facing the skin. At some point the phone got insanely hot. When I picked it up all sorts of s*** happened, as if my thigh was able to make touch inputs through the pants? Notification center / quick settings were all toggled randomly. Flashlight, geo location and hotspot were switched on whereas Wifi and Bluetooth were off (which is unusual). And the camera was running with fully brightened screen, which I think was main reason for the heat.
I wasn't sweating extensively; meaning the phone wasn't wet in my pockets or something–
And I don't know if the random screen wake up enabled my thigh to make the touch inputs or of something else happened which from then on let the screen randomly wake up– chicken and egg, you know :F
I've searched far and wide and can't find a solution for this issue.
Here is what happens: for no reason that I can see (no new notifications), my screen turns on its own. My phone is just there on the table when this happens and I haven't touched it.
This happens whether the phone is plugged in or not. It happens in the middle of the night and wakes me up.
Things I came tried:
- turn on do not disturb and remove all exceptions.
- disable always on display.
- disabled all lock screen notifications.
- disabled a notifications.
Other things I've tried:
Lift to wake and all other things that could wake the screen.
Did a factory data reset and re setup my phone from scratch.
Nothing works. Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance.
I had the very same problem until a few days ago when this behaviour suddenly stopped. What changed? I had shutdown my Pebble watch and connected a Wear OS watch to my phone.
I don't know what the Pebble did, but it looks like it woke up my phone at random intervals.
Maybe it a bluetooth device you've connected?
I'm expeciencing sometimes this behaviour when listening to the music on bike with phone in pocked on back. I disabled all "smart" funcions like smart lock, pocket detecting, wearing detection etc and it stopped.
I think it is caused by new type of proximity sensor used in whole S10 line (so I think it is hw related). I read somewhere than it detects skin proximity even thru several layers of cloting.
It is behaving strange even during phone calls - when put phone down from my ear, it tooks several seconds until screen lights on.
it's one of the things that bothers me a lot about otherwise great phone.
facing same issue
I always loved Samsung galaxy s10. I bought it from my friend who used it for 10 months. I am facing the same issue first I thought it is because he used it for 10 months and some bug appeared but now I came to know its not just me. if anyone knows how to fix it then please post a reply. I really need to fix this
I haven't noticed that on my S10. It sounds like something is triggering it, but what. Do all of you use Bixby because I don't.
