I have a Bixby routine set for Home that turns on Wi-Fi and keeps the phone unlocked. Trouble is, the phone unlock seems to stop working after a period of time (using the phone or not), and the only way to fix it is to turn off the routine and turn it back on.
Anyone else seeing this?
Unfortunately, I do not have an answer to your question, but another question: How do you set the phone to unlocked? Cannot find "unlock phone" as an option, except at the default "in car"-routine
I just tried creating a new routine, and I see the option under the "Lock Screen" category.

Strange. The only options on my S10e for Lock screen, is Always on display, and Change lock screen shortcuts.
If I could just copy another routine, it would be easy.
Why not use smart lock and set it to stay unlocked at a location?

Smart Lock tends to rarely work for me, and there's also the fact it disables 4 hours after inactivity.
I am in a basement, but I don't think that's actually causing an issue as the moment I disable and re-enable my Home routine, it starts working as it should again immediately.
Do you have received a work profile enforced on the phone?

What's the initial routine you're using? Also, what's your normal lock screen type and unlock method?
I use a fingerprint + Pattern unlock normally. As for the routine, it's the "Home" one that I believe was an initial recommended one that I just modified.
It will show up if the if condition is set to "place"

I'm trying to find a "screen off" app that lets me turn off the screen (without locking it) by just touching the icon. I have tried 6-7 different apps. The problem is when turning off the screen it also locks the screen forcing me to use my password even though I'm connected to trusted devices or trusted places. Any one know of an app that will let me do what I want? Thanks.

I use greenify and it has the option when you slide up the home button to set as "lock and hibernate" give a try for me is the best
Just picked up the note 5 a couple days ago. the fingerprint scanner works great, but I have the fingerprint option to unlock the phone selected and still most of the time all it wants me to do is swipe to unlock, occasionally asking to use the fingerprint. Is this normal? I'm under the assumption that it should require a fingerprint everytime you unlock.
It always asks for fingerprint for me, unless I'm doing the quick camera. It will say swipe home key, its asking you to clean off the button with your finger
I believe the combination of "screen timeout" and "lock timeout" settings will take care of this. However, I used to be able to just use fingerprint to unlock, and now (after last update maybe) I have to sometimes use swipe AND fingerprint which is annoying, and I can't figure out the combination of settings to adjust this.

Are you using any form of smart unlock, via location or bluetooth connections?

I am using SmartLock (both locations and bluetooth), and from running into another forum thread, I believe I'm also treating the Padlock icon wrong, where I was dragging it thinking it was there to be dragged, when really it was there to let me lock the phone (which half makes sense I guess), hence then requiring the Fingerprint unlock. Confusing, but makes more sense now.

I was doing the same thing, which is why I asked about smart lock because I think that is the only time you will come across this issue. The more you know!
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to unlock my screen to toggle VPN (Android default VPN since there doesn't seem any decent third-party app out there, which supports IPsec-VPNs) on while on specific wifi network. Everything is working fine except the screen unlock, since Autoinput doesn't work with screen off/locked.
I tried of course the Autoinput-Action "Screen unlock" but this doesn't seem to work on a rooted 7.1: Screen just gets turnd on, Notifications jumping a littl ebit up but then the srceen tunrs of again.
Also tried Secure Setting, but this app seems to be long dead...
Any ide, how to accomplish this? And no, Open-VPN is no option, since the target doesn't support it (it would make things so much easier of course since there is a real tasker integration available).
Thanks!
any idea how to get auto input working?
the unlock action can't be configured, so how should this ever work?
so if I understand correctly you want to turn on the screen and unlock it.
you have managed to turn it on, how about turning off screen lock, and then turn it on? then you should be being straight to home screen.
since you are already using Joao's apps, there is something about disabling lock screen in his Autosettings app I think.

thanks for your answer! you are right about what I'm trying to archiv and I guess the Unlock-Action from AutoInput does soemthing similar since it disables the lock screen completely and I have to set it active again after using this task. The disableing works, but the screen doesn't stay on long enough for AutoInput to perform the intended task – the unlock action doesn't have any configuration options, so basically I have to add something, which ensures the screen is on for a certain amount of time
Hi, I'm using Note9 with Screen lock type = PIN + Intelligent scan + Fingerprints.
Here is my experience:
[1] When I turn on screen (by the Power button or Home button), the lock screen appears. Here I can swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Notification bar.
[2] If I swipe the screen to unlock, the num-pad appears where users can input PIN. Here I can NOT access to the Notification bar.
The question is, how can I disable access to the Notification bar at the step [1] above.
(access to the Notification bar is already disabled in the step [2] above).
Thank you guys for reading my query.
No one faced with this issue or you treat it as normal?

I don't see notification when I pull down on the lock screen. All I get is the settings pull down shortcuts.

Weird. On my Note9 it happens as steps [1] and [2] I shown above.
Did you check it clearly by following steps [1] and [2] carefully?
Thanks for your feedback.

I'm using pin and fingerprint for unlock also.
If I press the power button to lock the device , then I press the home button im presented with the lock screen. If swipe up I'm asked to enter pin number. If I swipe down I see the shortcut toggles.
I have my notifications as icons not banners though.

Yes yes I meant these shortcut toggles.
I don't want this to be shown on the lock screen as I (or other people) can change settings by tapping on these shortcut toggles.

I know exactly what you mean. I had the same issue on my Pixel. What is more frustrating for me is that many times when the phone is in my pocket the notification icons get pulled down and something gets turned on/off by accident. There should be a way to disable the notification pull down until the phone is unlocked.

Oh, never mind, I have tested on my Note9 and it turned out that although you can pull down to show the notification bar, you can NOT toggle those icons as it requires the screen to be unlocked before toggling on/off.
So no need to worry anymore.

Yes but here's the problem... if you accidently pull the notifications down and touch an icon and then pull it out of your pocket and unlock it, anything you accidently touched will be turned on/off. Therefore I still wish there was a way to disable it from the lock. screen

Nope, all unattended touches before unlocking screen will not be accepted. I have tested.
You can check it by yourself.

I did test it. From the unlock screen I pulled down notifications and touched the wifi icon. Then I unlocked my phone and the wifi turns off.

I also tested on my Note 9, here's my results:
WiFi can't be turned off unless you unlock the phone right away, so if the phone is locked and you pull down the notification panel and click to turn off WiFi, it will it prompt to unlock the phone, if you don't unlock and screen turns off and then you unlock, WiFi will still be on.
Bluetooth: It can be turned off and doesn't require the phone to be unlocked, but it can't be turned on without unlocking the phone.
Sounds: Ringer can be changed without unlocking the phone, so you could accidentally turn your ringer off
Flight Mode: Can't be changed unless you unlock the phone (same scenario as with WiFi)
These are the only 4 I've tested.

Anyone had any luck with this?
I'm also trying to disable the Notification pull-down drawer on the lock screen for security reasons.
I went through all the menus and settings, but it seems Samsung has removed this option altogether.
I'm using a Note 9, Android 9, OneUI v1.0 (latest as of this post).
I have my P5 which I love. But there's one annoying thing about it that I can't figure out how to toggle: When I turn off the display by clicking the power button, then when I touch the (now turned off) display again (eg whwen putting the phone in my pocket) it turns on in an "unlocked" state. The padlock on the top of the screen is unlocked and I can interact with whatever apps are displayed on my lock screen. If I turn off the display and put the phone down on a table then (at least after a while) when I double click the display it turns on and the padlock is now displayed locked and I can interact with anything until I actually unlock it using the fingerprint sensor.
So my question is: Is there any way I can make the phone lock immediatly and completely when I switch off the display by clicking the power button?
Thanks in advance

Actually yes. But I had that switched on but as it says: "Except when kept unlocked by Smart lock". That I had missed. Smart lock was switched on and I hope that was the culprit. It is now switched off
Thanks for the help!
