What is “pocket mode” on a smartphone and why do you need it?
Are you familiar with the problem that the smartphone screen in your pocket or purse will automatically print?
The fact is that the touch screen of the smartphone only responds to the touch of fingers. A smartphone in your pocket or purse can accidentally call someone and even try to unlock the encrypted screen block over and over again. The user will need a pocket mode to get rid of these annoyances.
How does pocket mode work?
The operation of the pocket mode depends on the proximity sensor (https://t.me/gsmgurus_FAQ/540). This small detail is usually located next to the front camera. When something obstructs the front of the sensor (arm, ear, pants, etc.), the screen locks and turns off. This feature works not only when you put your smartphone in your pocket, but also when you make a call.
If the proximity sensor works smoothly, the pocket mode also works flawlessly. Checking the sensor is easy - turn it off during a call or while listening to a voice message. If the screen turns off, then the sensor is working properly.
If for some reason, for no apparent reason, the message "Do not close the top of the screen" or "Do not close the headset area" (Ne zakrivayte verxnyuyu chast screen or Ne zakrivayte area dynamika) appears on the phone, the screen turns off or vice versa, in time if it is not blocked, you will need to check the proximity sensor (disabling pocket mode also solves the problem).
The proximity sensor not only blocks the screen, but also the fingerprint scanner and the on / off button. If the button is accidentally pressed in your pocket, the smartphone will not unlock and the screen will display information that pocket mode is enabled.
On some smartphone models, such as Huawei, pocket mode raises the ring tone louder when the phone is in your pocket.
You can find this mode by going to your smartphone’s settings and typing the keyword “pocket” or “pocket” (depending on the system language) in the top search box.
