accidental touch protection

Hi all. I recently got some help in this forum to get my phone to unlock with PIN as part of the macro (http://www.macrodroidforum.com/inde...een-widget-when-screen-is-off-and-locked.219/)

Thanks to those who assisted. Macro works great, except for when my phone is in my pocket. My Samsung Galaxy S9 has an option under Settings->Display that says Accidental touch protection. It's meant to protect from accidental touches when the phone is in a dark place like a pocket. Thus, when my phone is in my pocket, my macro will not run.

I realize I can turn this setting off and that solves the problem, but quite honestly, I like the idea of avoiding accidental touches, except when I'm intentionally running a macro. Can Macrodroid somehow overcome that setting to start a macro?

Thank you

Honestly I don't think there's a solution. I have not such kind of option in my phone and never actually missed it. I always turn off screen before putting my phone into pocket or just not using it. How you are able to make accidental touches in your pocket?

How am I able to make accidental touches in my pocket? Isn't that a personal question?!?! 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, when it is on lock screen, I'm guessing it is difficult at best to have an issue with accidental touch turned off.

Did you try a simple macro like this in the screenshot below? For me, it works fine
