The screen of our mobiles is its nerve center, and as such it is the main means with which we can control the terminal. Being a touch screen, it can always happen that we make a mistake by activating an action when accidentally pressing on the screen. To avoid this, manufacturers have different modes to lock the screen and prevent accidental keystrokes .
If we want to prevent any function from being activated by accident when pressing the screen, we can choose to activate settings designed by each manufacturer to avoid it. They are not always the same, nor are they executed in the same way, but they are enough to avoid these problems.
Some keystrokes always inopportune
Whether you are playing games, watching video content, listening to music, or simply because you carry the phone in your pocket, there are different situations in which they play tricks on us. Making ghost calls, turning on the flashlight, taking photos, videos , there are many things that can happen when the phone screen is accidentally pressed.
Manufacturers’ customization layers generally add features to avoid this. Some are more effective than others, but we are going to review some of the solutions that these propose to us in order to avoid that we accidentally press the screen and thus trigger an unexpected and sometimes unpleasant situation. We could tell you many tips to avoid accidental keystrokes, but the reality is that it is common sense and these screen modes from different manufacturers that we are going to detail now, which will prevent us from having a scare with the accidental keystrokes of the panel.
To avoid it on a Samsung mobile
The mobile phones of the Korean brand have a function called ” Block accidental touches ” which, as its name suggests, does something similar to what the pocket modes offer us. In this case, it is intended that when the screen remains on in a dark environment, such as a pocket, an involuntary touch can be made on the screen. To activate it you must enter the settings, press on the screen and activate the option “Block accidental touches”.
With a Xiaomi mobile
The phones of the Chinese firm have a pocket mode, which can be easily activated within MIUI . This is perhaps one of the most effective when it comes to blocking accidental touches. Since it uses the proximity sensor to intuit that the phone may be in a pocket. You can activate it by entering the lock screen and password, then enter advanced settings, and activate ” pocket mode “.
Avoid it on a Huawei
Chinese mobiles also have a dedicated mode to prevent these phantom pulsations. The only thing we have to do to have this function active and avoid pulsations is to enter the settings. Within them select intelligent assistance and within it activate the ” Prevention of involuntary actions ” function. This also works in a similar way to pocket mode, avoiding pulsations in those cases.
In a Realme
The phones of the Chinese firm have a special mode that prevents accidental keystrokes. In this case, it is a mode designed for those moments in which we are using an app in full screen, and horizontally. The most normal thing is that we are immersed in some game. Well, the Realme‘s “Unintentional Touch Prevention ” feature is ideal for that. It can be activated from the phone settings. Entering the “Practical tools” section and “navigation keys”.
For an OPPO mobile
It is practically the same as in the case of Realme, in fact ColorOS is the layer from which Realme UI was created.
To access you must enter “Convenience tools” then the navigation buttons and finally activate ” Prevention of accidental keystrokes “.
