Hello, I was wondering if there is any way to get Quick Capture to work with a lockscreen password. I can't seem to get it to work. Any advice?
Works for me. :good:

Well...it works for me when the phone is unlocked (I have a 30-minute delay before it relocks). But if the phone has locked to the point of needing the PIN again, I'm pretty sure I can't get the camera to come up (or use voice controls) without unlocking it.
Wish you could get into the camera and take photos without the unlock...maybe I should just buy a bunch of skip dot stickers and stick them to the pocket of every pair of pants.

I tried with passcode lockscreen... Maybe Pin is different? I don't see why it would be.

Quick capture works for me too, with a pin lock. I just can't access the gallery.

Never mind, I figured out what it is. When I set up my corporate account, some policy it has apparently doesn't allow me to open the camera or anything at all without unlocking the screen. Touchdown it is then! Using Touchdown for my corporate email, I can put a pattern or pin lock and the gestures all work. Thanks!

Is it supposed to continuously flash even when there is nothing to report? My phone will flash an active notification so long as it is face up (then gain I can't tell when it is face down) even if there is nothing to report. It will just flash the key/lock pad.
I think it does that when it sense some sort of vibration and thinks the phone has been moved slightly. I noticed it when it was in my generic car dock while driving.
I think it's meant to do that in order to act as a sort of notification led. I personally like how it turns on occasionally so I can glance at it while it's sitting on a desk and see any notifications

Mine does that, although I think it has to be activated. It seems really sensitive to being moved at all (not a problem IMO since it doesn't use much battery). I don't think it is supposed to do that without it sensing some sort of movement though. I also find it helpful to just be able to glance over and see if I have a text.

Well if you have a text it should start flashing cause you have a text...
This is flashing even though there isn't anything to report. That's why I find it odd. There is nothing to report, so why is it flashing?

Because you bumped the phone and the accelerometer detected movement, and it thinks you may want to unlock the phone.
This is the feature that enables you to pick the phone up off the table and unlock it without pressing any physical buttons.

I did not bump the phone when it is lying face up on the marble counter or when it is on the corner of my desk well away from my keyboard and mouse.
I have Moto360 and it's supposed to keep the phone unlocked. Well, once in a while (at least once per day) it doesn't work so I decided to add a Trusted Location (my house). This made it worse because there seems to be some sort of "race condition" and I get a lot more issues at work now. Basically it seems like it's seeing that I'm not home and skips the check of Moto360 presence all-together. I also added an NFC tag (for my car in case I forget Moto360 at home). So having these 3 settings enabled at once makes this a worse experience than just with Moto360 (which isn't reliable to begin with)
Anyway, this unlocking mechanism is one big mess and hasn't been reliable for me. I understand that it's better to be safe than sorry but these are clear bugs.
Anyone else experiencing this?

That's strange. I have the same setup except my car's BT is a trusted pair also.
No issues here.

Is the BT in ur car capable to read your text msg? My note 4 use do it perfect but nexus is not option is grayed out on my car screen.
My home and work are "trusted places" and it works about 50% of the time. At work it barely works...My Nexus 5 was the same way. It is probably a thing on Google's end that they need to update.

i'm not experiencing this at all. i've had it working with my N5 flawlessly (before i got my N6) as well. if your phone isn't showing that you're at home, your location services might be turned off though.
worst case is that you back up your settings and try a clean wipe/reflash and see if it's working as expected.
*EDIT* are you sure that you're not accidentally hitting the little lock/unlock icon at the bottom of the screen? that will lock it regardless of the trusted devices/location settings.

Mine could work but I use hangouts as my messaging app and THAT doesn't work.
So that you know what I'm working with, I have a 2012 Mustang GT with MyFordTouch.

Wow, that could be it! I didn't even realize this icon is there and I often unlock from the very bottom (old habits). I will pay attention from now on and hopefully this is exactly what it was.

Hi there,
I've found this easy tweak to enable double tap to wake on Huawei/Honor devices.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/enable-double-tap-to-wake-t3312676
I loved this feature on my old G4, as it was not needed to pick up the phone from a desk, etc. Unfortunately, it seems Huawei does not give a f...k and adds and removes it randomly from its products lineup depending on the weather I guess.
The above instructions are really simple on a ROOTED device. Would any candid soul that already has a rooted mate 10, try to see if the feature is at least available in the system file? (super simple to do with a root explorer). My phone is not rooted, as I'd not like to void the warranty in case I return it since I'm not fully happy so far with this and other Huawei SW neglicencies.
Cheers.

You mean, the option shows up in the accessibility menu, but not possible to activate right?. Shame on Huawei.
WHICH FIRMWARE ARE YOU ON?. I'm on 142 on a EU hardware.
BTW, any other reliable 3rd party up or alternative to wake up the phone without picking it up or using the power button?

I'm on B145.
They include a lot of "features" for other Huawei phones, as they seem to use the same sources when they build. Many are non-functioning though.
Face unlock with pick-up to turn on screen works fine. Or just fp reader on the back
But it still requires lifting the phone or putting your finger on the back.

Right. What a waste of such a great HW with such a poor software, lack of basic premium (?) features on a high end device.
Thanks anyway mate!

Am sure you are aware kernel must support double tap to wake in order for this switch to work, if u guys have a kernel that supports this... It will work else no way on earth that's happening
BTW, tried a few of those 3rd party apps where I managed to wake the phone up via the IR sensor from the AOD screen. But, this only works for a minute or so, if the AOD is on for longer, IR cannot wake it up.
Looks as if the app is put in a deep state or the sensor not accessible by it once the phone enters a deeper stand by (?).
All power saving crap option disabled. Wrote the developer but no response.
You guys, since you rooted it, would you know if the issue is still present when you freeze power genius via Titanium perhaps?
my son was messing around with my phone trying to unlock it - he put his forearm over the screen and hey presto - it unlocked after about 2 trys. He repeated this several times so its clearly not a one off. I also unlocked with my upper arm after about 8 tries. try it yourself (doesn't work on hairy part of your arms)..
Video of it happening
Interesting, Tried it 10 Times myself but the Phone doesn't even try to recognise my arm.
I think you Enable Smart Lock by mistake
go to Sittings /Security & Lock Screen / Smart Lock and Disable On-body detection

Please update the thread title. It is incorrect and misleading, as it currently is.
I thought it was common knowledge your offspring have the same pattern on their forearms as you do on your thumb.
Seriously though, probably your fingers were dirty and you may have left an imprint over the sensor. Not surprised since they say these sensors aren't as secure.

bahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!
(we all have these moments... I know I do). Glad someone else does too.
In addition to "Do Not Disturb" when flipping the phone over, facing down. Is there a way to also immediately lock the phone?
You can hold the power down and select "Lockdown" (this has to be enabled in display settings first).
I need it to be automated when flipping the phone over. I often leave my phone at my desk and I don't want it to be immediately accessible.

What do you mean lock the phone? After a set amount of seconds it auto locks, face up or face down.
You are correct, the phone auto locks. I have it set to 15 seconds. I need the phone to lock immediately, regardless of the auto lock time.

Tap the power button and off it goes. If you are in a work environment where if you walk away for 5 seconds and your phone is at risk of being compromised either you need to find another job (lol) or never leave the phone on the desk. That's some serious personal insecurity right there.
The easy answer is something like Tasker to look at the gyro, ambient brightness and the proximity sensor but I don't know offhand if that requires root to lock your screen.

That probably is the EASIEST answer, but if you can flip your phone to make it turn off sound, lock, and maybe launch the sound recorder (for example), you have a discrete, potentially automatic meeting transcriber that's pretty much thoughtless.

Food for thought. But perhaps you might want to think of another device to do those things. Why would you even want a phone for those functions? A little recorder would do that with no compromise of your personal data. Pull it out of your pocket, put it on the table like a phone and you got your spy device. Phone locked away in your pocket.
Or a shortcut to the sound recorder, lock the phone, face down on the table. Unless you're an agent of some sort then you need to talk with your superiors and design something. Fun convo though.

It's fun hearing others' points of view!
But I'm thinking convenience; you've already got a phone and, with the Pixel 4's live transcription and text search, it could make for a powerful tool in this circumstance, as niche as it might be.

Yes it would. But now you're talking about automating a few different actions one of which is disabling sounds and another locking the screen. Then starting a task of recording and then turning off if the storage gets full without deleting previous recordings. All without user input. I'm not sure a phone was designed to do that. At least not these.
I suspect there are devices that can do that but that might be clandestine type stuff we are not privy to. But maybe a Tasker procedure could handle that? I don't know.
You would want a device that would start recording once voices are heard, and stop after a few minutes of silence.
I do work in an area that contains sensitive information. People entering have to leave their phones at the front desk with the phone muted. I just want to ensure that when I hand over the phone, face down, that it is immediately and automatically locked from anyone else. Simplifying that process would be great!
Please don't question the logic or rationale of my work area.

The XML here can be imported to Tasker to do what you're describing. You may find that you'll need to tweak it to better fit your usage/device, but the skeleton here should be a good starting point.
Edit: XDA didn't like my XML; here's a Google Drive link https://drive.google.com/file/d/11zxgUTwJA37Haf9rV2TbzHWaD1XJeQwx/view?usp=drivesdk
