Question A320 Cargo Smoke Detectors

Curious to know if many pilots have had false cargo smoke warnings on the A319/320, and what circumstances and phases of flight. Thx.

We've had several false alarms in conjunction with being deiced, probably not a problem in Bahrain. I'm concerned that the alarm will lose validity on the ground....and could end up in a tragedy.

High humidity can also cause the cargo smoke warning to activate on ground...
