Try using two fingers to scroll and double tap when you find what you want to click on

Just triggered this on my S9 this morning by accident, apparently just tapping, not holding, power+volume at same time up turns it on and off manually on my phone. May keep it on for now that's a better theft deterrent than anything else on the phone LOL!

if you can get to settings , wait for the blue box to hit where you need it then tap it .

you may need to hard reset it if that doesn't work permanently, factory reset may be you're last option . when the red words come on the screen you can scroll down to reset . good luck . mine has stopped . turned off things that turn on my screen so when in my pocket not to hit a bunch of times and set it off again .

This didnt work for me on my Samsung galaxy S8+ but what unlocked it in the end was my alarm going off. The alarm seems to take over the phone and unlocks it when you x the alarm. So as a future fix Ive set my alarms to go off at certain times every day just in case it happens again.

Universal switch is enabled that is the cause of the blue box. Press the power button and volume up button together 2 - 3 rapidly to disable for the Samsung A6
