I'm not 100% but I think I had the option in MM to turn smart cover on/off. Recently upgraded to Nougat and today i put on an old cheap smart cover case in preparation for a road trip. The smart cover function works as the screen will turn off when i close the lid and turn on when I open it. However i'm a paranoid person in nature and prefer to do it the hard way, ie press a button and visually confirm the screen is off.
I played around in settings but can't seem to find a way to change it. am I missing something?

i'm more worried about sometimes the cover can move or open by mistake, either in hand or in the luggage. i don't want the screen to be turned on by mistake.

The option is still there. I don't have my tablet at hand ATM so I can't tell you where...

Is there a quick way to always be brought back to the clock home screen? In setting or file manager I find it very difficult to get back to the watch screen, assuming it's user error but if anyone knows a foolproof way of dong this would really appreciate it.
Just cover the watch with your hand

Thanks but I must be the slow kid in class today, when I cover the watch nothing happens. Is there setting that enables/disables it?
For example I'm in the setting on the mute screen. Cover the watch and it stays on that screen.
I'm referring to dimming screen (essentially the same thing)
https://support.google.com/androidwear/answer/6056897?hl=en
Ok that's different than what I'm asking. You know on your phone there is an "home" button Is there something similar on the watch?
When it's dimmed and comes back it's usually on the same screen
Hi guys, I have the following problem - I have a LG G3 and when I'm riding my bike, there is no way to unlock my screen. My bike case covers the light sensor and the tap option does not work, if by any means I manage to light up the screen with the back button (the case back is hard), the I can operate my phone without taking it out of the case. I tried searching for a simple app to light my phone screen from my watch, but with no success. Is there anything or I just have to use Open on phone every time? This is not meant to be use while driving, it's just that it is not that easy to remove the phone from the case every time I want to reply to a message or see something. Thank you!

The way I get around it is setting screen lock type to NONE (not swipe) on my Galaxy S6 when cycling, but I'd also be interested in an app that does this.

That sounds nice, but how do you light up your screen? Other phones have their buttons on the side and it would not be a problem, but with LG's back button design and hard back of case it is problematic.
On the M8 if you press the volume buttons while the phone is horizontal the camera is enabled.
The problem I have it the cradle that I use to carry the phone always has the phone in a horizontal mode and if my belt or something happens to hit the volume buttons the camera is turned on. I notice the phone getting hot when the camera is on for a long time.
Is there a way to stop this? I looked in the settings and thats where I saw the function to turn on the camera with the volume buttons when the phone is horizontal but I can't find anything to disable this.
M8 still unrooted and bootloader is locked. I will be getting around to those things shortly.
Anyone?

Settings --> Display & gestures --> Motion Launch gestures --> Turn them off. You can't edit what volume buttons do as far as I know, so just turn the motion gestures off. It saves battery a good bit with them off anyways. If you root, there may be a way to change just a specific gesture, but I'm not sure about stock.

I will give it a try. I did not want to completely remove the gestures but it would make my battery last longer without having the camera turn on when not intended.

I looked into it a lil more, no way to edit the gestures individually on stock. Need xposed to edit them each
I have an issue where when I have texted someone and then close the case and press power button to turn off the screen, the phone then make a call to the person.
There must be a setting somewhere but it is eluding me. Anyone experienced this?

When closing the case. Don't press power button, doing that will wake screen back up and do touching on the screen. So when you are closing the case if you got a flip cover the screen will automatically turn off and remain off until you press power button or open the cover.

My case cover does not turn off the screen.
Which cover are you using? Is it Samsung's own cover or not?

I had an issue with this for a bit. I think it had to do with my cracked screen protector right on the call button in messages and me bearly touching the screen as I turned the phone off. I turned off increased touch sensitivity and it went away though.
Go to settings and type in direct call. There is an advanced setting that needs to be turned off. Was having the same issue until I turned it off. Apparently my pocket looks like my ear.
searching in system for accidental touch might also be a solution.
If you follow the link I gave in the first post, I found the answer.
I have everything turned on, but I can't turn on the touch screen. Only by switch.
any solution?
Settings > Display > Lock screen > Tap to check phone On
It is on
Reboot
If the phone is flat it won't work you'll have to angle the phone a little for it to work

Yes, mine too.
@droberto2021 check that you dont have the upper phone's part covered, i mean near the front camera where sensors are. If you cover that the tap will not work
