Some users report the screen turns on when in their pocket.
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S10 family of devices last month. Anticipation for the smartphones was high, and when preorders launched the device set records in the U. S. Now that the smartphone has been in the hands of users for a bit, an issue has surfaced that is annoying some owners. Reports are coming in that the accidental touch protection afforded by the proximity sensor on the S10 appears to be malfunctioning.
Users are reporting when they place the smartphone into their pocket; the fingerprint sensor is activating and waking the screen up. One user on Samsung’s support forums says that not only is the screen waking up, but that the smartphone is sensing the touch of the pocket and playing music via Spotify, turning on the flashlight, and launching random apps.
