Since my last One UI version 7.0 update on android 15, my phone, when locked in my pocket, keeps doing everything it should not be doing. Opening control settings, dialing. I'm using the lock setting that is supposedly to prevent this while in my pocket. Several times a day, this is happening.

Hi Andy050,

We understand how frustrating it is when Pocket mode isn’t working as expected, especially after the One UI 7.0 update.

Here are a few steps you can try:

Recheck Pocket Lock Settings: Go to Settings > Display and make sure Accidental touch protection is turned ON. This helps prevent unintended screen activity in dark environments like a pocket.

Increase Screen Lock Security: Use a PIN, pattern, or biometrics to ensure accidental touches can’t unlock your phone.

Enable "Lock network and security": Go to Settings > Lock screen > Secure lock settings, and turn on "Lock network and security" to prevent Wi-Fi or mobile data from being toggled while the device is locked.

Thank you.

There is no such thing as "pocket lock" on Samsung devices. But follow the suggestions from @Helenna.
