My S20 FE has started making phone calls and playing Spotify

[J T Peters]

My S20FE has started dialing contacts, turning on Spotify, and today it downloaded many foreign language Samsung keyboards. It has done all this while in a pocket after I've shut off the screen.

I figured out how to delete those keyboards. How can I get it to stop?

Note: I posted this question without signing in earlier so you may see it twice.

Change your screen lock to immediately when screen put to sleep.

If you have any time on this the screen can wake and then start changing stuff like you describe.

Type "screen lock" on settings to find this.

You can also turn your screen face out to stop this because your screen can sense your leg thru the thin material is your pocket.

Hi, welcome to AC!

Thanks but I can't find "auto lock" . I have Android 11 and am using Nova Launcher. I can't even find the settings for security anymore.

Go settings>lock screen>secure lock settings

I'm also using Nova on the S21 and if you open settings, pull down the notifications bar>touch the gear icon, and type auto lock into search bar, it's the first thing to pop up.

Thanks, I hadn't set a lock password so that is why auto lock wasn't available. Got it now.

Yeah I got it now, the one thing you didn't mention that I was supposed to guess at because it's normal not to use a security lock, I got it.

Best wishes.

As for Spotify - that app has a mind of its own. It is really hard to turn off. I think it's turned off, then it starts playing on its own when it syncs with Bluetooth in my car. I usually have to open the apps under setting and force stop Spotify.

Does the premium version have auto play in background like YouTube premium?

I guess so, because I have premium.

Maybe check in settings to turn that off ?

Spotify Connect in background is already toggled off. I've tried every setting I can find.

You tried playing with settings in the app for car mode?
