Pocket dialing

[robert7107]

I am accidentally calling people from my contacts while phone is in pocket i believe the dialer on the lock screen is the culprit any suggestions?

It's happened to me more with this phone than ever before. There's an article about it here: http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/17/nexus-6-ambient-display-pocket-dial/

yar pin or a pattern are the best ways to avoid those - i had those happen ALL THE TIME on my old s5 and boy was it annoying (hell, even my headphones cables caused touch to trigger when it landed on the screen lol)

I played with it before - set it for home (two locations) and it still keeps on bugging me for a pattern, so I just gave up, also I do like pattern lock - always some added security in case of phone getting stolen.
