This is getting ridiculous I can't keep my phone (s24) in my pocket for some reason all of a sudden. it's constantly opening. Either I hear a sound of the buttons being pushed, simetimes I hear music from different websites. Earlier it told me I had tried too many times to get into my phone it's now locked me out for 8 minutes. It was in my pocket I didn't try to open it. And where the **bleep** (now its editing my words)????? did that come from, 8 minutes. it's getting to be a pain in the **bleep** I don't understand it's like it's got a mind of its own all of a sudden.

Turn on "accidental touch protection" and turn off "touch sensitivity" in display settings.

I just found turn on accidental touch, which was not on. Going through the phones settings it always amazes me how the settings turn themselves on or off at times! Thank you for that suggestion

You're welcome. Updates also have a mysterious way of sometimes changing settings without user intervention.

Boy that's for sure! That just happened to my dad with his email account. There was an update, a new look! Not only did he suffer he drove me crazy for 3 days until I figured it out! He's 95. You can't just roll out a new update and expect people to understand

What about third party music app(s) you may use, within their settings/nearby devices? Usually long pressing on the app, you will see permissions and i discovered nearby devices was on, etc.
