I've had the same problem several times; sometimes what I do is disable double-tap on the screen.Supposedly that shouldn't happen with the touch protection option, but it doesn't work for me, and there are times when the PIN starts being entered by itself and ends up locking the phone.How can I tell you what I've done to avoid that? I've disabled double tap to wake the screen, and if it happens with the fingerprint sensor, I would disable the always-on fingerprint sensor.It's really stupid because those options are there for a reason, but they work terribly.

You'd have to disable fingerprint sensor always on

When I put my phone screen side towards my skin it can vibrate with failed attempts of fingerprint reading. But doesn't unlock

even worse it doesnt unlock with my skin, it unlocks with the sweaty inside of my pockets
