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.

Hi,
My P7 does not have lock screen, instead of this, loads an annoying app called P7 (which comes with stock ROM).
Any of you have an idea to enable lock screen? In settings->security->lock screen, option appears in grey and it is unselectable
I have updated to B126 to check if there was an issue with my stock rom, but it is the same.
Thank you

I'll take a guess here that you have the default magazine slideshow lock.
Go into the theme app and click customize them you can change the lockscreen style to one that allows widgets etc.
It took me a little to figure it out also when I got my phone.

No, i dont have any lock screen. When i press power off button to go to lockscreen, by default, the P7 app appears with a lot of spam about huawei. If i disable this app by settings->applications->p7->disable, when i press power button, screen goes black and when i press again, instead of see the typical lock screen, i see the desktop directly

Please take a screenshot of what you mean.
This was already discussed before, use the search button next time.
Your phone is in demo mode, used for demostration in shops.
Try method post #20 first, if it doesn't work do the steps in post #18.

Not at all, but I learnt about demo mode, and I was able to find the app in /cust/hw/demo, so I removed this and then I did a factory reset
Switched to iPhone (7+) for a year for the first time, generally I was happy with it. However my heart goes back to Android.
So I sold my iPhone and bought the Mate 10 instead (no cashout since iPhones hold value well).
My share:
You can swipe up in the lock screen (ala IOS control center) for some quick access to flashlight, calculator, etc.
Share tips and tricks!
Can somoeone tell me how to add auto-sync icon in shortcuts panel?

If you swipe up anywhere on the screen part of the lock screen you will get a prompt for a pin but if you swipe up from below the screen where the finger print sensor is you will get the menu he is talking about

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.

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 ?
I want to have my tablet unlocked (unlocked locksceen) but using the fingerprint scanner for my apps, banks etc. Samsung galaxy tab s6. If i setup fingerprints, automatically the locksceen is locked.. You have to use password, fingerprint or patern to unlock.. Which i don't want. I wanted unlock.. If anyone knows..
Thanks,

If you are on stock One UI, try this approach:
Post in thread 'Set automatic lock delay on android to more than 30 min. with ADB' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...re-than-30-min-with-adb.3791042/post-81421129
Also you have to set locking with power button to off in system settings. I was using this successfully on my Tab S5e when I was on stock, although now I'm on Lineage Os

Hmm, this is not impossible, but rather unlikely... Did you make sure to change the power button setting? I don't remember how it is named exactly but I belive it's necessary to get it work. Also you could try to separate adb command for two and use superuser access:
Code:
adb shell
su
settings put secure lock_screen_lock_after_timeout 86400000

Many thanks my friend! This really helped: "Did you make sure to change the power button setting? I don't remember how it is named exactly but I belive it's necessary to get it work"
This made me remember, that the above adb commands probably just increase the time to auto lock the screen.. If you press the button it lock instantly bypassing this I think.. So i setup auto lock the screen in 15 sec (without pressing the button), and is working. When screen goes of automatically, it supposed to lock in 5 sec i think, if you don't preen the power button during this 5 sec (otherwise it will auto lock after those 5 sec). Now this 5 sec has become a day.. So tablet stay unlocked and when i press the power key it goes to desktop. Let's hope tablet go to standby and not consuming battery this way.. This one needs to test.
I think i had an app which just turn screen off without lock. Or probably i can do it in tasker, i will try. I think it's going to work this way.. Or perhaps there is a setting when press the power button not to lock instantly. I don't remember if there is, I'll search it.
Thanks again!
Edit. I just made a command in tasker: turn screen of (without checking lock) and it works.. Screen goes of without locking (normally it won't lock for 5 sec i think, but now is for a day). So i can "lock" by a button shortcut in screen, without really lock, or i can press the button and lock instantly with locksceen (which needs fingerprint to unlock).. Or i can set to double press the power button to run the tasker shortcut, so pressing the power button screen of and lock the tablet, or double press the power button to turn the screen off without lock.. I have the choice.. It's ok this with me, many thanks again!!

Yes, this is exactly how it works
I use Tasker as well and yes, it's very powerful tool. Glad you find your way to get it work
