Mate 9 Oreo - Touch Disable Mode - how to disable? - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Hi, Since my Mate9 auto updated to build mha-l29 8.0.0.373(c636) - the version that introduced face unlock which I use, I now get annoying feature whereby the device screen turns on in a "Touch Disable Mode" every time I put the phone into a waterproof pouch for exercise etc. This never happened in earlier builds. Where do I find the settings for touch disable mode to remove it please and hopefully stop to water proof pouch interfering with display??
Appreciate any ideas guys.

Seriously has no one got any feedback please? This mate-9 is driving me nuts when I use waterproof sports bag and screen keeps coming on. How to stop it happening I wonder?

Huawei removed the option to disable "touch disable mode" in EMUI 8.
But this should help you:

MIUI issue - unable to disable " prevent pocket dials " & stuck screen while calling

MIUI issue - unable to disable " prevent pocket dials " & stuck screen while calling
Hello everybody!
I have a little problem on every MIUI ROM I tried and that makes me so mad. I'm using original OPO flip cover and everytime I open it I get "Don't cover the top of the screen" message instead of lockscreen.
I disabled this feature in Display & Call settings but it didn't help. Is there anybody else solving this problem? It's soo annyoing.
Another my problem is that when I dial and call to someone the display turn immediately off and the call still runs. So I'm not able to control phone when calling. I can disable this feature but it's draining battery a lot so I would prefer to keep this function enabled but in the working condition.
I think there could be some problem with proximity sensor. I would like to calibrate the sensor wihin *#*#6484#*#* but when I dial this nothing happens -_- I'm quite desperate now. Didn't find any solution on xda and even oneplus forums. Tried 5 various MIUI ROMs and still same problems.
Thanks for reactions. :good:

Problem with screen lock and suspend

Hi,
I have found 3 mornings in a row that when the phone is in my pocket and I walk to work its clearly trying to turn itself on, as when I pull it out the phone is in suspend mode and says I can't unlock it for 15 mins. It must be responding to sensors or the power button isn't strong enough to avoid accidental presses.
It says "fingerprint suspended try again in x minutes". The pin entry is non responsive during this time so its clearly a security lock which is being triggered by false movements.
Its a pita and clearly shouldn't be occurring. I've never had the problem before with any other phone.
Any ideas as a workaround or solution?
thanks
Could it be you are accidentally touching the fingerprint sensor while walking? In smart assistance settings there is an option to disable touch while device is in your pocket. Have you tried turning this on?
Those are the only tips that come to mind, tried it with my mate9 but cannot seem to reproduce this.

YES! Thats just the setting I was looking for thanks it was driving me nuts but I couldn't find the setting! EMUI is subtly different having been used to Samsungs for the last 6 years!

Hi guys, even if the setting has been enabled on my Mate 9, the phone still try to open itself when I'm walking around.
Do you know if I can turn off the reset function after 10 failed password?
Honestly, this is getting so annoying that I'm thinking about changing phone again...
Thank you!

Pocket unlock

Had anyone experienced their device being unlocked while in their pocket. Mine had several times, even some quick toggles have been changed from where I had them set. Apps opened, not just opened but digging into multiple button presses. Even today mi wife says I called her twice while phone in pocket. I use fingerprint security with pin backup and somehow phone is bypassing both of theses in my pocket. I've tried numerous times to replicate out of my pocket with no avail. I'm on stock TMobile no mods or rooted.

It happened many times for me.. you might be having Smart Lock enabled... even then, proximity sensor on OnePlus 7 Pro isn't good.. but disabling smart Lock should fix your issue
Yeah I checked and smart Lock has always been off
I encountered the same issue today

Weird. Do you have fingerprint lock enabled?
Yes I do. From what I can find on the web previous OnePlus devices had a Pocket Mode which is not present on the 7 pro. But viewing T-Mobiles website under settings list it shows it is in the utilities section under settings. But not on my phone. I even searched for it with the search option at the top of settings menu.
I've also noticed that in settings under utilities there is a section called app locker, when I click on it, it asks for pin and then just resorts back to the utilities menu giving me no option to add apps to list. It does nothing.

What Pocket Mode did (I had it on my 3T) was ignore screen touches, if the proximity sensor sensed an object nearby (assuming it was your pocket).
Even without Pocket Mode, a press on the screen, or movement of the gyro should only turn on the "ambient display" screen. You can't do anything from that screen except scan your fingerprint (which you confirmed you have fingerprint security enabled). So I'm puzzled how the butt dials or other things occurred in your pocket.
I suppose it's possible the power button is being accidentally pressed in your pants. Which brings up the lock screen - slightly different from the ambient display screen, as it gives access to the quick toggles, camera and voice assist. But it would seem like a strange combination of accidental power button pressing and screen touches happening in your pants, to make the things you mentioned happen. TWSS

Got this very message this evening along with flight mode being activated. Pocket mode badly needs to be reintroduced by OnePlus
Can anyone who has converted to international firmware confirm that pocket mode is or is not present in the settings under utilities?

Why don't you put on your pocket with the screen facing outside?

I've had the same issue, but temporarily solved or at least appears to have by turning off lift to wake
Never had lift to wake on as I assumed it would cause issues like this
Hey Guys what screen mode Do You use,I used Nature mode but it's on a warmer side & can't adjust sliders.Can I change through a custom kernel?
If you just look in the settings there is custom mode under natural that allows adjustment. Stock room stock kernel.

How is tha gonna stop accidental fingerprint detection and vibration??
The solution is to deactivate the fingerprint sensor ?
More seriously, there is no false detection, the sensor is doing its job, as soon as it feels a finger it tries to visualize the fingerprint, I do not see what is boring, If it wasn't so sharp it would be a nightmare to unlock the device !

No, you're wrong. It could be set to only vibrate when it detects a correct fingerprint. Which would be much more logical in my opinion. Or give the option to only activate the fingerprint sensor after power button is pressed.

the vibration is not there to validate the unlocking, something that we see anyway when the home screen opens, but to say that the analysis of the finger starts and that we are at the right place..
The last option might be fine for you, but personally it's a waste of time having to press a key before I can scan my finger, not sure Poco implements this In a future update ! ?

These options should be there for those who want them, they're easy to implement. Options are good I too find it annoying reaching into my pocket and having the phone light up and vibrate unintentionally.
Yeah noticed that also here where it rarely happend with my k20. It's just the new fingerprint placement.

Yes indeed having more options is positive, I'm just saying that I don't think they will, as it's a pretty special option that very few require.
Normally if you are looking for the device in the pocket, it should not turn on or vibrate because it is deactivated by the proximity sensor, in any case mine remains as dead if I hide the part upper screen..
I hope for you that a function will emerge
For me, it is clear that the "old" hardware fingerprint sensor is much better than the modern software sensor that's imposed on new devices.
But we cannot change this, so yes : some options for lock screen vibration activation-deactivation are welcome. Me too don't like to feel the phone vibration every time I touch accidentally the screen trying to extract something of my pocket, including the phone.

You can disable 'haptic feedback' in the settings, it will disable the fingerprint sensor's vibration too.

But that disables vibration system wide doesn't it?

Question Any way to fix accidental touches when phone is in pocket?

Hi guys!
So, I've been using this phone for a while on stock ROM and I noticed that the screen automatically turns on and there are random touches when my phone is in the pocket. Today, it got so bad that my phone went to the camera app and took some photos, switched to video and recorded some videos while in the pocket.
I have already enabled accidental touch protection in settings but that doesn't seem to work. So, basically, I was wondering if someone managed to fix that, perhaps with a third-party application.
I also have root so if there is an xposed module or magisk module to fix this, do let me know.
Thanks in advance!
Use a case with raised display guard (as you should anyway).
Turn display away from your skin.

already use one and I don't like keeping the display away from skin because then I have to turn the phone around after taking it out from pocket.
I disabled double tap to wake for now because of this. I really hope they fix this bug on One UI 5 but I doubt it.

Disable the tap to wake and lock feature, if you use Always on display select its tap to show function. these should solve your problem.
