  2. But when in am not able to unlock my screen, how can I go to settings? Please suggest a solution to unlock the screen so that I can change this setting

  3. Hi,
    I have an Mi MAX. I have started developing a new problem where it says “Dont over the earphone area” and it asking me to hold the back button and the volume up bottom to disable it. I do as instructed and it works. But I wanted this to stop permanently. SO I followed your suggestion and put off the Pocket mode. And it worked. But then later I installed the finder sensor opening by registering my finger print.

    After that the problem returned next morning saying “Dont cover earphone area” SO I went to find out the Pocket mode. I now see something strange

    I am not able to put the Pocket Mode off as that feature looks disabled. IT is showing permanently on and not allowing me to disable it. This is such a nuisance. Please let me know how to handle this.

  4. Follow the instructions volume up and back button both press at a time.
