However, we will try to find an explanation for these problems and their corresponding solutions. Without going any further, an alert change or a poorly programmed application may be behind this error that turn on the mobile without touching it. If the first of the solutions is not the one that manages to solve it, we will answer you, go to the next ones until we find the problem.
Notifications may be to blame
Many times we do not realize this small detail, but it is that when we receive any type of notice on our mobile device it will cause it to turn on by itself. Does this have a solution? The reality is that yes, and the truth is that it is really easy to be able to configure notifications so that they do not turn on the touch panel of our smartphone ever again.
The mobile options can sometimes complicate our existence, including the notification options. When we receive a notification from an application continuously and we want to deactivate it, we can do it from Settings> Applications and notifications> we choose the desired app and in its notifications we can deactivate each of its alerts. This option has been with us on Android since version 10 and still has bugs.
By deactivating a specific alert instead of all its notifications, the alert continues to reach the mobile but silently. If this app has permission to turn on the panel then our mobile will follow turning on but it won’t show us anything. To solve it we can completely deactivate all notifications and thus it will not be repeated.
Notifications turn on the lock screen
This option is not in stock Android, but it is in various layers of character such as MIUI or EMUI, which are Xiaomi or Huawei mobiles. By default, the panel of your smartphone turns on when receiving a notification, something that we can remove in Settings> Lock screen> Disable the option activate lock screen for notifications. With this change, our mobile will no longer wake up to a notification.
Activate Do Not Disturb mode on your mobile
As we already know, and it is not a mystery, this mode allows silence our mobile device, stop vibration and block visual interruptions. In addition, it can be activated or deactivated by sliding your finger down from the top of the screen and touching its corresponding icon, in most cases it is precisely called “Do Not Disturb”. We can even get to program it at different times so that nothing or no one turns on the panel of our smartphone.
We will only have to create an automatic exception is to program how long Do Not Disturb mode remains active. To do this, within the same settings of this function, we touch on “Schedules” or “Do Not Disturb Preferences”. Once inside we can choose how long it will be activated, in a period that can range from 15 minutes to 12 hours. We can also select the option “Until you deactivate it” or “Always ask” to have a more precise manual control.
Faulty screen protectors
In the previous cases we can adjust the problem and find it relatively quickly but if the protector does false touches on the screen it may wake her up. Some mobiles have a double tap to turn on the panel and with protectors that do not stick well or do not adhere as they should, we are constantly suffering with the panel on.
The best thing in this case to save us the problem where it turns on by itself, it is time to try to deactivate the double touch to wake it up, something that is usually found in Settings> Display> Wake up screen with double touch. Once deactivated, we see if the mobile continues to have this failure and if it does not repeat but we want to enjoy the double touch, we will have to opt for another of the different screen protectors for mobile phones. And although it is one of those options that should not cause problems, the truth is that if you have a wrongly placed protector, you may be able to activate it with a simple movement.
What does not light up when you lift it up
So that the touch panel of your mobile device does not turn on continuously as soon as you lift it, it will be time to say goodbye to a function that is probably the cause of this problem. In addition, some of the different terminal manufacturers have developed a mode that allows us to prevent accidental keystrokes at any time. In this way, we prevent it from turning on and consuming the battery, for example, when we carry our terminal in a pocket, backpack or bag.
Although, in recent times this new function that we talked about at the beginning has emerged with force, which may be the cause of this problem. Therefore, the first thing we will have to do is check if our smartphone has a function called Lift to activate. To do this, we will have to search for said functionality by that name within the terminal settings or using the quick search engine.
The truth is that the access path to reach this functionality on your mobile will vary depending on the customization layer of your smartphone. So the most advisable and quick thing to do will be using the search engine on your mobile. Afterwards, you will have to verify if you have it deactivated. In this way, you will ensure that it does not activate on its own every time we lift the terminal. Also, we may have enabled it for some time without our noticing this. Well, it is more than likely that you activated it while you were setting up easy recognition for the first time, as it is an option recommended by the terminal itself to improve the experience of this function.
