I am sure you have all noticed that we have to unlock the screen before we can use the Fingerprint scanner on the Note 5.
Is there a way or an app that will unlock the phone even when its screen is locked and not lit?
Would much appreciate it!!!!
Thanks
If your talking about getting into homescreen then when screen is off just press down and hold your finger which is registered. This will unlock without having to press the home button and press home button again to register finger print.

Hi fellas.
The power button of my diamond has submerged slightly, and I'm trying to use it less frequently.
I turn off my device now using G-sen and flipping it down. As for turning it back on, I have to use the power button. I've also selected "Do not lock buttons" under keylock settings. It works great, l but I only want to use the action button to wake up the device.
Other than the "lock all buttons except power button", is there a way I can "lock all butons except the power/action button" ?
Thanks!
Help.... Anyone?
yes i want to find out too!... it will be so useful if thats possible
Turn off the phone by turning it face down.
Turn on - by taking the pen out.
So you don't use the power button...

Nice one, bro...
But I hardly use the stylus...
Anyone?
You don't need to lock any buttons. If all you want is not to press any buttons accidentally in your pocket, just install Slide to Unlock (S2U2) and don't lock any buttons. That way, you can wake the phone up by any button and slide your finger on the screen to wake the device up.

Yea, I knew this would pop up.
S2U2 gives an extra step, which I don't want.
Just want to use the action button to wake the device. Thats all.
Hi
I have problem in my galaxy note when l try to lock it i just need to press home bottom twice it's open voice command!!!!! It's very annoying specially when l put in my pocket if u know any solution please tell me guys

Never used voice to go. May be there could be an option to disable home button ?
do you mean that you need to press the home button in order to lock the screen? or you mean that your phone goes to the voice command after pressing the home button twice even though your phone is in the sleep mode?
I mean when l press the home bottom twice it bypass the lock screen by voice command .!and Unlock the device

on my older phones (xperia xz1) there was an option to disable the lockscreen at all if the device is unlocked by the smartlock. this way i only need to press the powerbutton to get to the homescreen.
was i could not find any settings or apps: anyone knows a way to disable the lockscreen while smartlock has the device unlocked?

I have a Note 9 (SM-N960F) model.
Stock Firmware, no root.
Using Nova Prime launcher.
I have Fingerprint unlock and Smart lock enabled.
If i pick my phone up from sleep (locked)
i either press/swipe down
where my Home button (not visible) should be and phone goes directly to Homescreen.
Otherwise, i use Fingerprint unlockfrom "sleep" directly to home screen.
No need to press power button.
I'm sure this is better options.?
Only if you reboot phone or randomly sometimes (it's a security measure) I have to manually unlock.
This is the exact problem
Of your phone is already unlocked you still need to swipe up. I don't want to see any lockscreens at all. Why is this even implemented this way.
What I want is being able to use the phone without any unnecessary swiping after pressing the power button. (Razer phone 2 and Sony had an option for this)

i think you misunderstood my point.
I was trying to describe my button press action.
You don't actually swipe nothing.
You don't see the lockscreen, at all.
Call it press etc,
where the home button is.
It unlocks to Desktop.
You don't see the lockscreen at all.
From device sleep,
i "press " Home button
and device goes straight to Desktop.
Fingerprint it's the same. It goes straight to the Desktop.,
( You don't see a lockscreen)
Good luck
Yeah i got it
But that's the problem: you still need to swipe up the lockscreens if you try to unlock by the power button. Unlocking via Iris or fingerprint or pressing the invisible home button world great and you skip the lockscreens completely. But after pressing the power button the is 1 more action that is needed.
On the screenshot you can see (in German) "unlocked by smart lock" after trying to unlock with the power button

dont use the power button.
use the finger print or home button in conjunction with smart lock policy.
you'll get better milage off of the power button this way.
Yeah... Don't use the power button...
No sorry not an option ^^
Is one of the reason I don't use it, and also because I don't know the effective range.
But leaving the home button enable requires to let the "screen touch sensor" active so it will inevitably consume more battery am I wrong?
Are you on Oreo or Pie?
On Pie, this works fine for me. I press the power button, it unlocks with intelligent unlock and goes directly to the home screen/last app. No swipe needed. Does the same when I press the hard press home button.
If you're on Oreo, do what bober10113 says.
I am on Pie, and I am constantly getting the lock screen where it says unlocked by smart lock, but I still have to swipe.

For those that got the phone.
Does the 10 series still have pressure sensitive home button under the screen?

NO

Well that sucks Imo. I like the thing.

you get double tap to wake now if that helps
The home pressure button was nice, it was the quicker way to exit any app or game, with this you have one more step to do
hi I am just using Huawei p30 pro, power button locks the screen and then to unlock the screen i set face recognition,PIN code and finger print. All of them perfectly work, My problem is that, while the screen in locked mode, whenever I press power button it instantly unlocks the screen without asking face recognition,PIN code and finger print .
I want to disable the function of unlocking screen by just pressing power keys.
all the best

Hi, try checking if you have Smart Lock enabled (there are three options - on-body detection, places and devices). If it's enabled, for example, to unlock based on palces, then by default it will always unlock when you're home
Thanks alot but smart lock option is disabled.
Thanks a lot but smart lock is disabled.
Face recognition is enabled by default on power button press, you can't change this option.
Only possible to disable face recognition, then it will ask for fingerprint if registered, else will ask for pin code.
