I am trying to disable the screen on my phone to basically emulate the phone is turned off. I am adding this to a fingerprint action and will use another fingerprint action to enable or disable this task. What I have been able to do so far is: when using fingerprint #2 it turns screen off, but there is a delay and the screen powers on for a moment.
I am using a Samsung Note 9 running Q without root.
Thanks,
Acid

Hi guys,
I've noticed that Tap2Wake function is just too sensitive. It doesn't use proximity sensor so my phone can be woken up even in my pocket. When this happen, it does some stupid things like launching walkman etc.
The only way I see to prevent this happening is to set different lock screen type (PIN, password or pattern).
Does anyone have any other ideas or solutions to fix that?
Yeah I just got this phone and was excited to use this feature but also found that it was turning on and activating random applications while in my pocket. I don't like enabling the lock screen so I'll need to come up with another solution. I turned the feature off for now. I'm going to play around with Tasker to see if it can control turning the tap to wake function on and off. If so, I'll have it turn the feature off whenever the phone is turned upside down (which it always is while in my pocket) if that's even possible.
I cannot find this anywhere, but I am looking for a way to make my fingerprint scanner to stay always active while the screen is off so that there is no need to actually press the button to wake up the phone before unlocking.
Please don't suggest unlock alternatives such as wave to wake or anything that isn't what I described above, all that I am looking for is a way to just touch - not press - the home button while the screen is off and locked and it will wake up and unlock.
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
Anyone noticed theirs? Mine auto brightness is already activated, when I unlocked the screen it gets bright even when the environment is dark. But my auto brightness mode is working.

Yes it's annoying as all hell. Takes about a minute to adjust but it's blinding at night.
That happens cause I use iris. So in dark rooms, I just use the fingerprint.
If you don't mind the inconvenience caused by having to swipe first before using iris unlock, disable the "Iris unlock immediately when screen turns on" option in Iris Scanner.
The screen has to be brighter than normal initally in order to provide enough light for iris scanning (without the circles for guidance).
The screen is no longer brighter when using iris unlock later because it now requires you to position your eyes within the circles.
Personally, I'm perfectly fine with the brighter screen initially.
At home you can get around it by setting it as a trusted location and then go into display/navigation bar and switch "unlock with home button" to on. That way you can just press the home location and your phone will bypass security/lock screen and go directly to the home screen. That is you can if you're not hiding an affair or other skulduggery from your partner in which case you might want to skip this method. lol
Anyhow you will retain your set security method outside of the trusted location, in my experience I'll usually be trusted around the house and yard but much past it I wont be. This also makes it nice for when you're home with the phone next to you and you want to interact with it without picking it up, you press home and you're in.
Unlocking screen brightness on Android.
This is only an Android Oreo + ( Android 8.0+). I only have this issue with my newer phone which is Android Oreo. It happenes with whatever method I use to unlock my phone. It's an auto brightness setting but it's doesn't seem to be listed as any sort of brightness setting. It's not even in the developer settings. If anyone knows how to disable the unlocking brightness feature, that would be helpful.
This happens for me when I face recognition on so the camera can see my face in the dark. You can change this in Settings > Lock Screen and Security > Face Recognition > Brighten Screen. Turning Brighten Screen off should keep the screen dim in the dark but you'll probably have to unlock with your fingerprint or something.

Really annoying this brightness. Even try every thing to keep this brightness on manually set point but at time of unlock, it increase in the middle of the night. Please any one help. Is it a problem of software or hardware.
I haven't notice this at all...
The only problem with this glorious device
I'm on Note 10+ and this is the only issue with this device. In the last three months I've used Pixel 3 and Apple Max and they've both figured this out. The blinding light is terrible. Middle of the night, or first when you wake up.
SOLUTION - If you have fave face recognition:
- Go into settings, select Biometrics and security.
- Select Face recognition.
- Tap on the switch on the right-hand side to turn on/off.
Coming from a Galaxy Note 4 where I could have my fingerprint registered without having a lock screen of any kind setup,
on my Mi 8 10.2.2.0 whenever I disabled the lock screen it clears my fingerprints registered.
The fingerprint is useful specially on banking apps and such and I can't have that working now without a stupid locked screen,
I just want to tap to awake the phone or press the power button without having to reach out to the sensor on the back of the
phone, I have no need to password protect my phone.
Is there any trick to do this?
