alt Hacker NewsYeah I used to get this a lot because I have my phone in my pocket when I'm doing land maintenance around the place here. It's massively annoying. That and watch gestures firing off and interrupting the music I'm listening to while I'm using powertools.
I've had to turn off a lot of features. All of the "raise to wake", always-on screens, gesture controls, movement controls on the watch, live activities on the watch, all sorts of stuff, anything related to movement or waking up the phone other than by a button press. Also had to turn the watch so the buttons are on the left to stop my gloves pressing them constantly.
It's a bit sad really, I think I've missed out on some decent features there. But compared to being locked out and/or having random actions trigger, it's an improvement.

It's even worse if you configure 10 incorrect attempts to wipe your device. This is fairly common apart of MDM Managed business provided devices.

On my pixel 4a, I had to turn off a "call 911" feature that I think was initiated by shaking the phone. I took a couple of walks with the phone in my front pocket, and the movement from my leg called 911 (which I would only find out when the police would call me back to ask if everything is OK).
