It's very annoying. It keeps turning on in my pocket and makes the phone hot and starts to move around. The fingerprint sensor turns on the screen when touching it even if you don't have a fingerprint set up. Very annoying.
Anyone?
It's still happening.
Phone is dying way faster than it should as the screen keeps turning on while at work in my pocket....
i don't understand how this is happening. if you don't want the fingerprint sensor to be enabled don't setup a fingerprint. or you can go in and delete each fingerprint you have already setup.

Yea this happens to me too. I just use Hardware Disabler to stop the proximity driver. So the screen never turns off in a call until the screen time out. And you can turn it back on by pressing the power button. Keep in mind though, that app makes the phone laggy...it's annoying at times, but less annoying then waiting on people to hang up or leaving them a long voicemail when they don't pick up
Turn on the proximity sensor
The proximity sensor on V20a is disabled by default. you can enable it by going into the secret menu and your problem will be solved.
Dial 3845#*880# ---->Device Test ---->All Auto Test Menu-Full --->ALC/Proximity Test --->Enable the proximity sensor here
Done

Same ! and indeed really strange
i've had the same problem. it sometimes happens, sometimes doesn't. no change after i enabled it in secret menu, still unreliable.
I hit the fingerprint sensor every time I take it out or put it in my pocket and that triggers the screen to turn on.
I don't really need the sensor, but I haven't seen a way to disable it in any of the settings?
I would like to the same thing, I dont really need the sensor active
Settings; lock screen & password; screen lock & fingerprint. You'll turn off your fingerprint reader and lock screen from here. Be sure all your fingerprints are deleted.
There are no method to turn off the fingerprint sensor at the moment, the above method just remove the fingerprint but screen would still be turn on when press on sensor, which is an issue for me also.
If this is really bothering you, stick a sticker on top xD
sticker? that's what I was thinking of.
Strange thing is happening recent to me...
Namely, while using headphones while talking on the phone, the unit gets unlocked while in pocket and problems arise with spontaneous keys getting activated.
If even cannot be explicitly locked by pressing the power button.
Have not found a solution to this problem, and it's strange why the proximity sensor does not work in pocket.
Cannot remember whether this was previously, or is it since last ROM upgrade.
Anyone having same problem?

Yep I have the same thing... Today my pocket took 9599295 pictures and movies.. also when I'm a bit sweat my pocket dial random numbers. I've noticed that when screen is touched and disnt recognize fingerprint then whole lockscreen shows up and its easy way to random open dial or camera... Its rly anoying, because I dont want to hide phone screen outside of the skin. (Its easier to break screen if I hit something with my leg.)
Dunno why it doesnt use proximity sensor to recognize that phone is in the pocket like every other brand... :/
Do you have the double tap to wake up activated?
I had this problem a while ago and it was the double tap that played all kinds of tricks calling emergency and taking pictures in my pocket! Disable double tap to wake up screen and the problem goes away.
Disable the fingerprint icon on when the screen if off.

Tried everything but the problem is eventually still there. Actually I've found a bug, namely the display will wake up once touched several times near the center of the fingerprint reader. Try it yourself.
Not nice - cannot avoid to happen it sometimes even if all options are disabled.

I didn't have this problem. If I try now and touch the part with the scanner, doesn’t have to be just the centre of the scanner, rapidly around ten times the lock screen will turn on, but nothing happens when I touch the shortcuts. Perhaps they are disabled, so the only thing that happens if the scanner is touched again is that the numpad to unlock with pin appears.
This is not good as it may severely affect battery life if it happens a lot. This clearly must be a bug!

Even worse, since it is happening all the time while on a call via BT and my phone is in the pocket. I am now thinking about to switch over to my old MI8...
Cannot understand why the keyboard is not disabled in the pocket. Seems so easy to do it but it's as it seems on.

My only solution was to buy a flip case. At first, I disabled the fingerprint reader by removing all fingerprints and setting up face recognition, but this didn’t fix the problem you are talking about. I don’t really like flip cases, but the Nillkin QIN Smartcase is rather good.
So now I ‘m eagerly awaiting a fix from Xiaomi so I can strip the Mi9 again!

Disabling the fingerprint icon has no effect on the problem we are talking about here. The only way to make the problem go away is to remove all the stored fingerprints thus disabling the use of fingerprints all together. This will shut off the fingerprint sensor doing away with this problem in a crude way.
If you really are looking for a setting, please use the search function at the top of the settings.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I don't have the problem and just wanted to know where I can disable the fingerprint icon. Thanks again.
New uppdate out that include Pocket Mode. MIUI-V10.2.27.0PFAEUXM EEA version.
Anyone know if there's a way to disable the fingerprint scanner activating any time I pick up the phone now? Never did that before the update, it's pretty annoying. Already have lift to wake turned off, but that doesn't fix it. Went through every setting and didn't see a way to fix it. And it's not the lift to wake option, the whole screen doesn't turn on, just the fingerprint scanner and icon. Seems to be making my battery life way worse.

Because Blu cust support has not duplicated it, others with update didn't duplicate it.
Makes it seem like just your phone.
Did you try to factory reset it.
Fully. Remove saved fingerprint remove accounts,
Reboot to recovery and do factory reset. Setup phone again

Late reply I know but I found out how to disable this option.
In the settings go to:
Display->Ambient Display
Turn off the option for New Notifications.
I have no idea why it is called this as new notifications (SMS at least from my quick test) still wake the screen,but the fingerprint sensor no longer shows when you lift or move your phone. Completely mislabeled but hey at least you can turn it off.
Anyone else having this issue? I have to either tap phone or tap power button to get screen to turn on, then face unlock will work. Previously I would be able to just hold it up to my face with screen off and it would just unlock. After most recent update it no longer does this. Very frustrating.
Check maybe lift to wake phone is turned off in the settings.

Mine was doing that too...along with auto brightness stuck and the proximity sensor wasn't turning the screen on and off during calls. As a last resort before sending it back (since I had to wipe it anyway) I tried the first android 11 beta (not 1.5). It almost completely fixed everything but the proximity sensor. Still had to occasionally tap the phone or power it on to face unlock though. Google replaced it because of the proximity sensor. The replacement phone is working fine on latest update of 10

Good to know. Haven't wiped just yet, may do what you did there.

I really didn't have ANY bugs that I found with beta 1....read 1.5 has some issues. Is your proximity sensor working? I used androsensor to confirm
edit I did wipe face data before erasing

My prox sensor is working fine. It just won't face unlock with screen off. Turned on lift to check phone and now screen wakes without me having to do anything but still, there was a time where I had that feature off and face unlock would unlock with screen off
