Unlocking Phone w/ Under Display Fingerprint Sensor Registers as Dashboard Button Press

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android
1

I’ve had a Pixel 6a (which has an under display fingerprint sensor) for some time, but I recently noticed that if the HA app is open when the phone is locked, when I unlock it with the fingerprint sensor, it regularly then registers a tap or long-press in the app immediately after it unlocks. It’s possible that it’s always done this and I just never noticed it and/or my main dashboard changed JUST enough that there’s now something right in the spot where my fingerprint sensor is, but I don’t recall it doing this before and my main dashboard is quite static.

I’ll also mention that I’m not holding my finger on the screen for an abnormal amount of time after it unlocks and that I frequently don’t even realize it’s been registered as a press until quite a while later (I have a light that is what usually gets pressed and I’ll notice that it’s on).

Just curious if anyone else has experienced this and if it’s something that could even be addressed in the app?

I’m also having this issue on a “Pixel 7 pro”.

I started using home assistant in mid April this year and noticed it right away when I created my first dashboard.

I also noticed, that it seems to happen only with specific dashboard elements (for example the button of an entity within a “Grid Card” element.

And just as I was playing around with it, I stumbled over another (I think related) issue: When there is a button on the right edge of the screen and I use the “swipe from screen edge back button gesture” (don’t know the correct name) at the position where that button is, then the button also gets triggered even before I lift the finger. It does not happen for “Entity Card” elements with an extra toggle button on the right hand side.
