Use nova launcher double tap to sleep gesture or smart launcher 5 double tap to sleep gesture
I use this one dynalogix.screenoff.ultra.quick.timeout and it works quite well, it is using time-out technique, no admin permission is required, hence you can still use fingerprint to unlock.
You can either 1) place the screen-off shortcut on the desktop, 2) place the shortcut in Quick Settings, or 3) assign the shortcut to launcher that support [double tap] gesture. I'm using this with Nova Launcher.

Is it possible to remap my voice-dial button to use as a device lock button?
Or any other way (without using extra programs) to achieve this?
yes it is, check out the thread named "Yet another device lock application" or search for amstrong, he made such an app. It calls the device lock today-plug-in, but you can disable the plug-in from the today screen and the app will continue to work. I use AEBPlus to bind it to my comm manager button, double clicking the button will lock the device. Binding it to your voice dial button is also possible with AEBPlus. I'll attach both files here.
Great stuff Koksie.
Thanks a lot!
One thing I discovered, instead of AEBplus you can also use the "buttons" option in the settings to map Device Lock to a hardware button.
Yes, you can of course do it that way, but then you loose the original functionality of that button. With AEBPlus I just bind the devicelock to a double click on my Comm manager button. One click still brings up the original Comm Manager. In this way I can bind apps to buttons and still leave the original button set-up as it came out of the box.
That's true, but I never use VoiceDialing so it's no problem for me
What is different with Device Lock on Today?And how to turn off backlight except Power button?It's mean like Nokia.When you in key lock mode,you can't turn on backlight excep press unlock keypad.
the basic function is the same as the today plug-in. By using this app, you don't have to use the touch screen to lock your device and you can remove the plug-in from your today screen, thereby freeing up space on the screen.
I don't really understand your other question. If you mean that you want the backlight off untill you unlock the device, that is not possible with this app, since to unlock you need the touchscreen and therefore the backlight comes on.

Can you attach the files pls?

Is there a way to use it to unlock as well? I'd like to use the button to lock and unlock without touching the device
I used to have double tab nav bar to turn off display on my previous Pixel and Nexus phones (rooted of course) but don't have a nice way to configure it here.
I ended up downloading Custom Navigation Bar (app) to add two buttons to the side but they're for "menu" and "search".
If there isn't a way to configure the hard press I'll just change one of the above to do it, but I like having those two options as well on the lower part of the phone.
This is perhaps not what you want, but I'm using Nova launcher and I set it to lock the phone at a double tap. Of course, this doesn't work if you're in another app, but I go to Home anyway before I lock the phone.

yeah i'd like to have something that can be used from anywhere. also nova's screen lock feature hard locks the phone, requiring a pin/pattern unlock (not the face/finger print unlock). i have my bixby button remapped to do this, just for that super rare occassion when i'm someplace and need my phone locked immediately.
Hi!
I'm wondering if I can lock my device without pressing the power button. In my galaxy s9+, I used the "custom navigation bar" app to add an invisible power button to the navigation bar, but this app CRASHED my note9!!!!
I spent 2 hours trying to solve the issue without losing my apps and stuff, successfully. Now I want to use another way to save my power button.
I installed an app called "home launcher" to use the home long press to call another app instead of google search, but every app to lock screen causes the fingerprint sensor to stop working without password.
I miss my old Xiaomi Mi 6
Someone knows how to do this?
you can install an app called "turn off screen (lock screen)" by redmanit from the play store. it gives you the option to put an icon on the homescreen or from your notifications drop down, press it and it'll lock your phone in 5 seconds. this is the only app i know of that works with the note 9's android 8.1
Nova launcher can do it as far as I know.
Installed a 3rd party screen off app. Using the widget Extended Date which then gives you the settings to show time/date/week/day/etc. There's a function to link to any app in this case screen off. Thus touching the date switches off the screen. Been using this setup way back when I still had my Note 2. Still works (both the screen off app and the widget).

Settings > Accessibility > Dexterity & Interaction
Turn on the Assistant Menu. That has a lock button that will turn your screen off. It will not "lock" your phone, just turn off the screen. Screen locks @ whatever you've set as the lock out time (screen locks "x" number of seconds after pressing power button). If you want to "lock" it instantly, requiring password to open, I use Nova Launcher and a screen input gesture. That locks it instantly and requires, I think, your password - not your fingerprint.
See screenies for info.
The functionality is built right into One Hand Operation+ in the Good Lock App

you can use OHO+ without goodlock though, if you only need the lockscreen gesture.
OHO+ is a "standalone" app, luckily.
Screen lock button in navbar via good lock + navstar ?
Hi guys
I would like to know if its possible to skip the lock screen while using google smart lock (trusted bluetooth device connected). I would like be on home screen after a double tap or press on my power button; instead I have to swipe everytime. Is there an option to skip this?
I know I can do this with face unlock ("direct unlock"), but dont wanna use that unlock.
Just bought this amazing phone and I would like to remove swipe to unlock as I hate to unlock any phones, I like to double tap and boom it's ready to use.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Hi,
Did you set your fingerprint?
Usually when you set your fingerprint, then unlocking with your finger takes you directly to the home screen.

I guess it's the only way
I found a way to enable the pop up selfie camera to unlock the phone and to enter the phone all you have to do is push the power button and it unlocks the phone directly to home screen

Yeah no problem so I downloaded the app hidden settings from the play store ... then when inside the app I went to the section marked face authentication and after putting in my lock screen code selected the toggle for unlocking my phone and the toggle that says confirm button. then after that, the phone should pop up the selfie camera to unlock if you click the button or swipe up on the lock screen.
