Screen turns on in pocket opens apps, edits notes in Keep ect. I've had the Note 8 since they first came out but this just started 2 months ago. Is there a setting I'm missing? Any ideas?
Thanks
Yes, there is a setting exactly to avoid "unwanted touches in dark places as pockets or bags" look for it in settings, display
Thanks, Already got the unwanted touches on.

Do you have your phone set to stay unlocked at or near the location where this happens?
No sir.

Hi,
I have now since 3 Weeks my HTC One and noticed that sometimes the display turns on itself.
Yesterday it happend, that I wrote a mail to a friend, that contained some chars like "QUAJFK,,asdfkjl", so I think that the device turned on and wrote this mail in my pocket!
Is there anybody else with this problem?
Wakelockdetector is showing HTC sense which turns on the display! How can I prevent this?

This happens when the TV remote control app is running, so you don't have to fumble around finding the power button to keep using your TV!

This is the likely answer. If you leave the TV app running you'll notice it stays in your notification tray until you specifically close it. As part of this app the phone detects when it is moved and turns on, mimicking the behavior of a real remote (which you don't have to "unlock" every time you want to change the channel).

I don't have the remote configured and I'm not using the remote...
I think this happens with update of HTC sense!
The lockscreen is still there, but the sensitivity of the touch is to sensitive, that the phone can be "touched" through the pocket of my trousers!
I now have a lock screen with pattern security but I don't like this much!
On my previous phone (Samsung Galaxy Nexus) I didn't had this issue. The screen never turned on through the trouser the phone couldn't be handled!
Hey, I need help. My phone started acting up. There are a collection of 7 sets of digits on the top of the screen and when I swipe my finger across the screen it leaves a blue trail that only disappears when I tap it again. The digits have some thing to do with where the screen is being touched. Also, where ever I tap the screen a horizontal and vertical line appears and goes when I take my finger off. Anyone encountered this? Do I need to restore factory settings?
Thanks,
Brendan

go to settings>developer options and uncheck basically everything besides "allow debugging", if there is still an issue continue to settings>developer options>advanced and uncheck everything besides "show all animations"
im saying this all off memory so what you see might be slightly different from what im saying.

I must have hit it by accident. This started to happen after I had my phone connected to the laptop. Delighted, it has been annoying me for nearly 2 days.

Ok I'm feeling a little dumb lol. On thr AT&T variant, the fingerprint sensor is not waking up the device when locked and screen off. Am I just missing a setting somewhere?
The international version works just fine to wake up and unlock screen, but the AT&T version doesn't.
Any input?
Works for me

My att note 8 works as expected with this. Maybe a setting i forgot about enabling. Perhaps power save more disables this ? Are you using power save?
Edit- tested with power save. This doesn't seem to be the culprit.
Ok there's a setting where you scan in your prints. It's a toggle you must enable. That should do the trick.

Do you have this option ?

Yup it's under lock screen and security then smart Lock. You wanna select the first option and it should automatically unlock to home screen when using your fingerprint.

Screenshot didn't come through, but if you mean the fingerprint unlock toggle, yes I have it on.
Could you fix the problem?
Could you fix the problem? I bought Galaxy S9+ AT&T version and it seems has the same problem.

The only way I could get it to work was to set screen to lock immediately with power button. Can't remember the exact setting title, but I think it's Settings/secure lock settings
Basically if you set the screen to lock as soon as it turns off it'll trigger the fingerprint to turn on screen immediately.
It worked!!! Thank you very very much. Really appreciate it. I was one step farther to return the phone.

I just wanted to say thanks. I flashed my unlocked Note8 with the AT&T firmware to see if it is worth the bloat. On the unlocked firmware I never had to make that change, it was always on. I don't know why I didn't think to check that setting and I don't know why AT&T would set it to ten minutes, there are so many things that can happen in ten minutes. Thanks!
So after many years with iPhone I decided to jump back to Android this year with a Galaxy Note 8 and I need some help.
No matter what I try I can't seem to get lockscreen notifications to turn the screen on so that I can see them. I hear the notification sound but unless I manually turn the screen on nothing happens.
I've checked and rechecked all the settings both within apps and in phone settings but still no joy.
I have my iPhone and the Note 8 side by side on my desk and the iPhone lights up each time I get a notification but my Note 8 just plays the notification sound I set for a particular app.
Is this something that just isn't possible? Or should I be seeing the screen light up when notifications come in?
Thanks!!

Do you have AOD turned on? I don't use it so not sure if that's it or not.

I didn't but I just turned it on to see if that changes anything. And just to be very clear, the notifications are there it's just that the screen doesn't come on for me to see them.
On mine they come on the screen automatically. And I can read them there.....but for me the issue I don't how to control how long the screen stay on.
I noticed stay on for about 1 minute and then ont AOD display comes back. Not sure where in the settings I can change how long they stay on.
My regular screen time out is set to 15 seconds. So that's not what it's going by.
Meanwhile I've found two apps which can change things "Glimpse Notifcations" which is free and has forum here at XDA and also Nils which are very good.
BUt I'd rather not use an app....
For OP, notifications settings are found in many different places. Make sure you turn them on all of them...and in advanced you can even point which notificatons show contents.

Make sure you click in the middle of the setting line subject to access more options...
Meaning Settins, > Lock screen and Security > Notifications....Do not just toggle this setting ON on this screen.... please touch on Notificatons title to access sub menu... where you have now more options..... ON , Hide Cotent..., Icons Only and All Apps and the list of apps...
Now make sure there you have Hide Conntent to OFF. and Notification ICon Only OFF......
Let me know if you find the way to make Notification stay longer on the lock screen then the 1 minute default I"m experiencing
I purchased new A71, it's screen gets on by itself after every one or 2 minute. I checked simply whatever possible. Any ideas?
Never had this issue but did you try tweaking AOD settings?

Already,,, no use.
Now safe mode tried and no screen wakeup.
It means some third party app issue.
I'm trying to figure out which app exactly.
I had this with my wife's phone.... Screen literally cam on everytime the phone was moved.... She has a flip case, which i assumed was the culprit, and i could see the screen pop on even if she moved the phone to one side a little...
I found the answer to our solution in the settings somewhere under advanced features/motion and gestures.... Untick all that lift to wake crap!
Screen stays off now until you press power button or double tap screen...

I tried the same already but problem was still there.
Since once I reboot into safe mode, there w no issue. then started apps one by one in normal mode,,,, now not facing issue. I suspect one or two third party apps. Still not finalised which app exactly as these apps got updated meanwhile.
Any way thanks,,,,
my issue already resolved.
