Hi all,
I am using the ICS stock RUU (rooted).
When face unlock is activated, and after push the power button to turn off the screen, the screen is off and immediately automatically turns on.
Screen can be turned off normally when I use other unlock methods (PIN, Pattern) .
Is it only me or any of you also facing the same problem?
Thanks.
Hi everyone,
I realised that sometimes when I press the home button just slightly bit too high, it would open the camera shortcut from the drawer, and then home button would stop working until I turn off the screen or press back, if I stay in camera and try to press home, the camera would just recognise that I'm trying to focus near the home button corner, but go back to home page.
At first I thought rooting the phone with new Rom and kernel might help, but after rooting yesterday and now using revolution HD 8.1 but it's still happening.
Most of you guys have this problem too?
Some say after 1.29 update shouldnt have that anymore, but then my phone came with 1.29 stock, and had been having this problem since say one.
Any recommendation on this issue??
Cheers
Rockson
It's 1.29.***.13
any kernel version below .13 still has that bug.

I have 1.29.401.16
I have a Moto G 2014 running cm13. Everything was fine until my pin code stopped working and I was able to unlock my phone with a swipe. However, I'm able to lock the phone only if I touch the lock icon on my lockscreen after which it says " Your device will stay locked until you manually unlock it". My lock button does not lock the phone to a pin code as it did before.
I haven't activated Smart Lock or changed any setting and this kinda seems out of the blue.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks
I am facing the same issue as well, i tried changing roms and flashing kernals but the issue persists, also reboot dosen't help, do let me know if u find a solution.
for now i double tap the power button which opens up the camera and lets me through the lock screen but things go haywire usually around the lower part of the screen.
on my older phones (xperia xz1) there was an option to disable the lockscreen at all if the device is unlocked by the smartlock. this way i only need to press the powerbutton to get to the homescreen.
was i could not find any settings or apps: anyone knows a way to disable the lockscreen while smartlock has the device unlocked?

I have a Note 9 (SM-N960F) model.
Stock Firmware, no root.
Using Nova Prime launcher.
I have Fingerprint unlock and Smart lock enabled.
If i pick my phone up from sleep (locked)
i either press/swipe down
where my Home button (not visible) should be and phone goes directly to Homescreen.
Otherwise, i use Fingerprint unlockfrom "sleep" directly to home screen.
No need to press power button.
I'm sure this is better options.?
Only if you reboot phone or randomly sometimes (it's a security measure) I have to manually unlock.
This is the exact problem
Of your phone is already unlocked you still need to swipe up. I don't want to see any lockscreens at all. Why is this even implemented this way.
What I want is being able to use the phone without any unnecessary swiping after pressing the power button. (Razer phone 2 and Sony had an option for this)

i think you misunderstood my point.
I was trying to describe my button press action.
You don't actually swipe nothing.
You don't see the lockscreen, at all.
Call it press etc,
where the home button is.
It unlocks to Desktop.
You don't see the lockscreen at all.
From device sleep,
i "press " Home button
and device goes straight to Desktop.
Fingerprint it's the same. It goes straight to the Desktop.,
( You don't see a lockscreen)
Good luck
Yeah i got it
But that's the problem: you still need to swipe up the lockscreens if you try to unlock by the power button. Unlocking via Iris or fingerprint or pressing the invisible home button world great and you skip the lockscreens completely. But after pressing the power button the is 1 more action that is needed.
On the screenshot you can see (in German) "unlocked by smart lock" after trying to unlock with the power button

dont use the power button.
use the finger print or home button in conjunction with smart lock policy.
you'll get better milage off of the power button this way.
Yeah... Don't use the power button...
No sorry not an option ^^
Is one of the reason I don't use it, and also because I don't know the effective range.
But leaving the home button enable requires to let the "screen touch sensor" active so it will inevitably consume more battery am I wrong?
Are you on Oreo or Pie?
On Pie, this works fine for me. I press the power button, it unlocks with intelligent unlock and goes directly to the home screen/last app. No swipe needed. Does the same when I press the hard press home button.
If you're on Oreo, do what bober10113 says.
I am on Pie, and I am constantly getting the lock screen where it says unlocked by smart lock, but I still have to swipe.

Hello Everyvone,
since i've upgraded to EMUI 9 i'm searching the option to disable the screenlock by pressing the on/off button.
Sometimes i disable my screen just for seconds and want to came back without need to unlock it.
Until Android 8 there was an option for this in every Android version. But where can i find this now in Android 9?
Same problem is with Screen Lock by timeout. Normaly after screen timeout i configured 3min where the device was not already locked. So with just pressing on/off i could have came back without unlocking again.
Any ideas how to get this back now?
Yeah the brainiacs at Huawei removed this with the Emui 9 update, it is still possible in stock Android 9 afaik. Now you can't set any time limit or anything, just instant lock when the screen turns off whether it is by pressing the power button or after your chosen time. Really annoying but not surprising. I wonder if this is to force us to use fingerprint unlocking, which I don't use because... Huawei.
