I have disabled double tap to wake, and enabled accidental touch protection, but my phone can still be awakened by double tapping, and it happens often in my pocket

Try clearing device cache. Sometimes settings get messed up and the system just needs a nudge every now & then.

1) Turn off your device.

[Your device may need to be connected to a powered USB device (ex: computer) before proceeding to the next step.]

2) Press and hold the Volume Up button and the Side/Power button until you feel a vibration and the Samsung logo appears. Let go of the buttons.

3) You will now be in Android recovery. Use the Volume buttons to highlight "Wipe cache partition."

4) Press the Side/Power button to execute.

5) Use the Volume buttons to highlight "Yes."

6) Press the Side/Power button to execute.

7) "Reboot system now" will already be highlighted. Press the Side/Power button to execute.

Are you sure it's the screen being triggered to wake the phone? Could the power button be accidentally pressed when it's in your pocket?

No, I can do it with my finger also, it's just a problem in my pocket because it wakes the screen and then hits my media controls and messes up what I'm listening to

Just got around to doing this and it worked! I thought I was SOL because I've had this same problem on my last 3 galaxy phones. Thanks!

Mines the opposite. DND disables touch to wake screen nightly on mine. By the morning it's disabled.
