Settings app opens randomly.

[mawadidres]

The Settings app, which is opened from the home screen menu is popping up randomly. Usually when I open the lock screen it appears, or when i use other apps like TikTok or Instagram or whatever app. Sometimes even when I am typing. Has anyone noticed a similar problem? Does anyone have a fix for it.

I have a honor x9, running with android 11, the screen is great with no issues, the problem start from the first day but now keep getting worse.

You bought the phone new?
Did the problem start before you had downloaded any apps?

Yes it was new, and the problem start from the first day.

But it was not that annoying, but now it's too annoying and happens more than before.

Does it open to a specific settings menu, or just the main one?

You're not using any of these gestures or shortcuts by accident, are you? https://www.cellbezz.com/phones/features-tips/s/how-to-use-gestures-and-shortcuts-on-honor-9x/

Thank you for helping me,

Unfortunately i disable all the shortcut and gesture but still happe, some time happened before unlocking the phone.
I mean when i lock the phone while using Whatsapp for example then unlock the phone i found setting app instead.

Even though it's random, it sounds like it's still happening frequently enough. The fact that you didn't see it happen in Safe Mode would suggest that something you installed is causing the glitch. Unfortunately, you may have to just uninstall apps one by one until the problem goes away, since it can be difficult to know for sure which app is causing the glitch.
