It happens 4-5 times a day that I pull out my phone and the fingerprint sensor has been blocked due to multiple failed attempts in my pants pocket! It's extremely annoying! I have kept Accidental touch protection on from the day I got the phone and it has almost never worked at pocket detection or stopping the fingerprint sensor from scanning inside my pocket.
I'm using S24+.
Does this happen to you too? What can I do to stop it?
Do you have AOD on? Do you have fingerprint always on? I would take the AOD off or turn the off fingerprint always on (settings/security and privacy/biometrics), don't show the fingerprint on the AOD and just double tap or press the side button to open to the lock screen. But, then again, I am one of those that don't believe phones belong in pockets. This generally happens more with men, because a phone in a women's purse generally has its own separate pouch and doesn't get the same kind of jostling. You can also wear looser pants. Accidental touch protection can only do so much; if the phone senses what feels like a deliberate gesture, it will react accordingly.
I honestly don't like it because of that reason everytime you put it in a pocket you have to do the same annoying task to unlock it plus it seens to never stay in my picket very long anyways. I just keep screen lock on when screen off and be done with it
