Wondering if you can lock the phone using the finger scanner too? I don't like the power button placement, so I thought I'd ask.
No. It was great feature on the first z play. Have no idea why and who decided to remove it.

Try this. One tap or double tap for screen off... With root. I tried and works

Hello. I was just wondering if any of you out there (more specifically the people who own the Galaxy Note) if you know if it is possible to disable the finger touch input on the Galaxy Note when using the stylus? What I mean is, if you were to want to use JUST the stylus and NOT your fingers to navigate around on the Galaxy Note, is there an option that makes that possible or...?
Hopefully you guys understand what I'm trying to get an answer to.
Thanks!
there is no disable option however if you want to navigate your device using the stylus only, this is done pretty easily. The only buttons that you cannot use with the s pen are the hardware back and menu button however Samsung have created the same functions of the back and menu button if you use gestures on the pen i.e. if you keep your finger on the button of the s pen and swipe left on the screen, it acts the same as the back button likewise, if you swipe upwards, it acts like the menu button.
So in other words, what your saying is that the finger touch input will still be enabled even if I use the stylus?

First of all dont insult it sayin stylus , its S-pen and is way more functional than so called stylus.
I wonder why you want to disable finger touch. if u dont want ur capacitive back button to get pressed when drawing (most of the users were facing it), then let me tell you that newer roms are taking care of that. i.e while drawing if you hit back button, it wont work unless you lift the S pen.
if your requirement is something else, then you can use gloves
If the finger touch won't be disabled when using the S-Pen, then one must not touch or rest his/her palm while using the S-Pen. It would have been more comfortable if the palm could rest the screen while writing. Yes, gloves may be useful here..:laugh:
Currently ICS and JB TW ROM's have S-note where you can enable palm rejection. But otherwise you cannot disable the touch on your touch screen
When you do some practice you can draw while resting your palm on the screen without touching the menu or back button.. I use to take notes in college only on my fone and it's very much familiar to use spen now

Back in the days of the Galaxy Nexus, there was an app to wake the phone by simply sliding your finger from left to right. It required root and a kernel that supports some feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...pp-mod-touchcontrol-pgm-galaxy-nexus-t1721895
It saved my power button from wearing out. I hope there will be one available for the S6. :good:
No one interested?
i think a kernel with doubletap to wake feature will be better,
I don't like double tap as it can happen accidentally in the pocket and no custom kernels for the s6 for now.
I miss my doubleTaptoWake feature from my G2. I would be so excited if someone could make this happen

I have slide to wake using nova launcher and secure settings.
In nova settings go to gesture settings - slide up (or any gesture you prefer) - secure settings - lock device.
Yoy can even apply it to just one icon instead of full screen

That's slide to lock, not the same thing as slide to wake when the device is off. Also, there are some apps that can lock the screen with a single tap.
Bump.

Less wear and tear is never a bad idea. Just ask my wife's Note 3 :laugh:

Can't flash custom kernels on s6.
Hi
P9 plus has Double tap to wake feature ?
no
no, there isn't double tap to wake the screen.
Disappointed !
huawei should pay attention to this feature.
I dont have to rise up the mobile each minute if its on table to use back fingerprint sensor access
u can just push powerbutton on the side.
Even in double tap to wake you have to go through the password/finger print.
You can install "Glance Plus" on playstore for always on feature.
this is why i think LG's knock code is genius -- it's an alternative to the traditional PIN lock or pattern lock, and it's great for when the phone is lying on a table (meaning fingerprint sensor is inaccessible). Tap code lets you unlock phone with a sequence of taps anywhere on the screen, and because you begin tapping with screen off, and you don't really have to look at the screen when you tap, etc, I find that tap code lets me unlock a full second or more than unlocking with PIN.
of course, for phones with fingerprint sensor on the front, this wouldn't be necessary, but i wish all phones with rear fingerprint sensor would steal this feature.
Probably copy right issues involved in getting lg style unclock.
I tried the "KnockOn" app on google play. Working fine so far, although ofcourse will have to still go through the password screen. Have to enable all permissions and also allow app from accessibility settings.
You can make the autolock for 5 or 10 min so you don't need to unlock it with password in this period of time just double tape .
Get the point !
Question: is it true that "knuckle gestures" work when the screen is off, too?
This feature could well overtake the double tap deal in my humble opinion.
Anyway of doing this?
On Huawei phones this is possible and is a great feature to compliment the slide fingerprint sensor to reveal notifications (which note 8 has).
I have looked for any apps which will make this possible but to no avail.

It might sound like a useful feature to you, but personally I would worry about accidentally tapping the sensor twice and erasing my notifications. On Samsung phones you just tap the "Clear All" button at the bottom, easy enough really.

Must admit never had that problem. Once the phone is unlocked, your finger should never head towards the sensor, never mind tap it twice. Lol.

In my case my options are either
to ask Bixby...
to show...... Notifications , Quick Tiles etc.
Otherwise if you don't care for Bixby,
with the 3rd party app "bxActions"
you can remap Bixby button
My configuration is
One button press, " go back"
Two buttons presses shows Quick tiles
Long button press, show Notifications etc.
Bottom line
there is other ways, just as convenient.
Good luck
Good day! I'm curious if the fingerprint scanner defaults as the home button when on-screen navigation bar is enables?
I'm on VTR-L29C636B171 right now and I did not notice this on VTR-L29C636B166
I'm on B171 of the dual sim model and for me the fingerprint reader is completely disabled and acts just like a fingerprint reader. However I have noticed that the reader acts like a home button when the screen is off and password/pin disabled.
The sensor is P10s biggest feature besides the camera but it works only as Homebutton when the Navbar is disabled...but why would someone enable the Navbar when the sensor works so awesomely perfect?

One tap takes you one step back, long tap takes you to home screen and a swipe to left or right gives you multi tasking option. Hope that helps
