Is anyone else experiencing this? Stock firmware until I odin'd "Unikernel-v9-BOI1-G925R4-120615.tar" for root, other than that I installed Groove Music and use the finger print scanner at lock screen. It seems to occur a lot when I'm using Groove Music and right after using the finger scanner followed with an accidental power button tap turning screen off. Any insight or help is greatly appreciated as always!
Thanks!

I am rooted on 1.57 and have version 2 of GingerBlur. I wanted to set up a pattern and fingerprint recognition for my lock screen. I have the pattern setup so when I go to settings and click OK so enroll new fingerprints the phone sort of freezes. I tap back and home a bunch and after a couple of seconds it goes back. It won;t let me swipe my fingerprints though and add that to the lock screen. What do I do?
Unfortunately I have a similar probelm, I think. After updating to GB2.5 last night my fingerprint scanner has become totally unresponsive. I tried to re-enable it but don't really know how I would do that. When I go to set up a fingerprint scan it basically acts like I'm not swiping my finger.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Same problem; Atrix gingerblur 2.5 flashed from stock 1.26.
Did you guys ever find a solution to this? I'm having the same exact issue...
I had the same issue last week until I did a SBF flash to 1.87 and then re-flashed to gingerblur 3.5.
My phone unlocks itself when it's in my pocket sometimes. Anyone else having the same issue? Anyone know of a solution?
By the way I'm running stock unrooted.

Try to put it in a position so that it dont hit the power button i had that issue alot until i started carrying it in my back pocket

Thanks for the replay. What you said makes sense because if I push the power button I can pull the notification bar down and after clicking on lookout on there and hitting the back button it completely bypasses the unlock screen and goes into the home screen. That's really annoying.
To prevent it unlocking set a pattern or pin to unlock, that will also prevent the status bar to be able to drop down.

I'm using a Microsoft SP1 and now that WiFi works, i was looking into remix a bit more seriously and i don't seem to be able to lock the screen at all. when i lock it it just unlocks back after a few seconds. My point being is there any way to either map the surface power button to locking the screen until pressed again or maybe even an app that locks the screen until i tap the button.
Thanks a lot!
Hello,
Long time lurker here and was hoping for some advice/ suggestions.
I have a Canadian S9 Plus (on Bell Mobility) and noticed the following issues/ annoyances:
1) When the phone is woken up (e.g. pressing the virtual home button, plugged into charger, new text message received, etc.), the screen would turn on, continuously look for fingerprints ("Wipe the fingerprint sensor and try again" message would keep flashing) and would not shut off until I press the power button to turn off the screen
2) The fingerprint sensor generally works (e.g. unlocks the phone, swipes to drop down notification window), HOWEVER it does not work to unlock the phone if the phone has been sleeping for more than a few minutes (nothing happens no matter which direction I swipe/ press the fingerprint sensor). When I try to unlock the phone, I will have to press the power button to wake up the phone then swipe the fingerprint sensor. This may be a standard feature, but after pressing the power button to wake up the screen I will always get a message that says "The fingerprint sensor may be dirty. Clean it and try again.". Again the fingerprint sensor otherwise works so cleanliness of the sensor isn't really an issue here.
Has this happened to anyone's phone? I tried clearing cache/ resetting app preferences/ factory resetting the phone multiple times but with no luck. I also called Samsung but the conversation didn't go anywhere.
Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!
Have not had that issue with mine.
Do you have the finger sensor gesture on?

Tried both finger gesture on and off - no difference with the same issues persisting :crying:
this is the exact issue im facing when i got my s9+, i also thought that it was a factory defect. but luckily recently it didnt came up again and i did nothing. but still continuing monitoring the issue as it is really so bothersome.
Sounds like a defect to me. I'd exchange it.
I have not had any issues. Have you tried re-scanning your fingers? I noticed that this finger print scanner is different from the one on my LG V20. It feels different, and seems to operate different. It's also a little smaller which makes me have to position my fingers different.
I also read the instructions wrong.. I was supposed to swipe my finger during the setup. I was pressing it down. Either way mine works great.
Same issue here, did you manage to solve it?

Not at all - I ended up returning it. Any luck on your end?
Maybe try registering your finger/s with and without a case on. See what happens.
Same issue here. This is the one thing that really bugs me about this phone.
Been using my Pixel 6 for my daily driver since I received it after launch. Recently, I have had quite a bit of trouble with the phone screen waking in my pocket and calling random people or 911 (emergency services) or just filling the PIN unlock screen with random numbers. I believe the screen is interacting with the fabric of my clothing. I make sure to power off the screen before I put it in my pocket, and facing the screen outward instead of inward seems to make a bit of a difference. I have scoured the settings and can not find anything. The only other option I see is a full wallet type case that closes over the phone so there is no way anything can interact with the screen. This started happening with alarming frequency in April.
Am I missing something? Any suggestions on how to prevent this? Turning off wake from notifications?
Thanks in advance!

Sorry for not being able to add anything other than I too am experiencing this issue, exactly as described.
I think it could be the double tap to wake I wear jeans and don't have that problem but 8 am using a pixel 6 pro though
Same issue here.
Please use the feedback form in device settings -> about the phone to send the bug report to Google as well.
Thanks!
this never happened to me.
are you using screensaver? AOD? any kind of app which controls the screen on/off?
