[Q] Bypass Lockscreen Pin with QuickWindow case - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I'm pretty new to this but I have an LG G2 D803 running stock 4.4.2 with root and TWRP and I have a 4 digit pin set up on my lock screen but when I use my LG QuickWindow cover I am able to unlock the phone without the pin by doing the following.
With the cover closed there is a small lock icon on the bottom right of the cover window. I swipe to unlock the quick window. I open the cover and the phone is unlocked.
If I open the cover without swiping first I am asked for my pin.
I have changed to a pattern lock because it works fine but I would much rather use a pin. Is this an issue on anyone else's phone? Is there a fix for this?

[Q] Lollipop NFC unlock straight from screen off to home screen without swipe unlock?

Hey guys,
With the new NFC unlock feature in Lollipop, you are still required to swipe a screen which is stupid in my opinion. Xposed NFC Screen Unlock or whatever it was called had NFC polling with screen off and when you placed your NFC tag to it, the phone unlocked right to the home screen.
Has anyone figured out a similar result in Lollipop?
I'm looking for this feature as well. Especially considering Xposed is Lollipop incompatible
Any changes?

Trusted devices and places on lollipop - what is the point? !

Okay, so I'm running lollipop on my galaxy S5 and after connecting my bluetooth headphones it asked me if I wanted to add them as trusted?
So, as I trust them, I said yes.
After that, whenever I locked my phone using the fingerprint lock I would instead get a swipe lock screen instead. Swiping it would then take me to my normal fingerprint lock screen.
So, instead of one lockscreen I would have to unlock two!
What the hell is the point of that?
Am I missing something?

Fingerprint past swipe up lockscreen?

So I bought my wife today a Moto G5 Plus 32GB (I've had a 64GB version for a few months) but am having issues with fingerprint unlock. When we were setting it up today we noticed that on mine, finger print scanning will skip the swipe up to unlock screen when I put my finger on it but hers won't. You can tape your finger a second time on hers and it will fully unlock, but not with the first press of a finger like mine. We can not for the life of us figure out why mine is different as we are running the same exact settings in security and both are running nova launcher. Does anyone have an idea on how to enable a one press of the finger scanner to unlock and skip the lock screen?

LG V35 double tap doesn't unlock screen, always on display doesn't work too - Help!

Hey guys, just got LG V35 updated it to android Pie, everything seemed fine, but i can't normally unlock phone. On main screen i can double tap and it locks, however double tapping again, doesn't unlock phone, as if screen froze. Also fingerprint button doesn't work either, i mean i need to press it twice slowly and only then screen turns on and shows lock screen, always on display also doesn't work. After simple restart those features work, but after a minute, same thing happening again. Also noticed, that if someone calls, screen is also unresponsive. Got phone couple days ago. Any solution ?

i had the same issue when i got mine. i think the screen protector i installed was the issue-it only had adhesive around the the edge and started to come off. i returned that one and replaced it with another make and haven't had the "knock on/off" issue since. good luck

I agree with tomdi1999 and also have used the adhesive around the edge screen protector but they interfered with screen touch sensitivity, it is as if having a couple of fingers touching the screen permanently while trying to double tap or unlock the phone via power button. If you have any glass screen protector, try removing the screen protector and double tap again to see if it fixes the issue. If you are not wanting to remove the screen protector first and want to do some troubleshooting, try run touch screen test via the hidden menu (assuming your v35 is AT&T version) by dialing *#546368#*350# (Be warned that some options in this menu can really mess up your phone so don't go around messing with options in this menu randomly) in the phone dialer. In hidden menu select Device Test -> SAAT -> Service Menu - Manual Test -> Touch Draw Test. If, with screen protector on you are having trouble doing this test, remove the screen protector, clean the screen, and do the test again. If you still have trouble with touch screen it is probably a hardware problem or could be software problem but unlikely though. Also, place a test call to someone and slowly place your hand to cover the ear piece and proximity sensor area to see if screen goes dark. This is to check if your proximity sensor is working properly because if it is not then it could be the reason that double tap to wake is not working, although it doesn't explain why your power button is responding slowly, that points toward the phone processor being busy due to ghost touches such as due to bad screen protector or just a faulty power button (but what are the chances of having a faulty power button and double tap to wake going bad at the same time lol?).
I remember that years back on LG G4 double tap function would stop working if you had the screen replaced or sent in the phone to LG for repairs such as repair for notorious bootloop issues and it turned out that there was a small rubber piece that went around the proximity sensor that people were forgetting to put back when replacing screen or doing other repairs which basically broke the proximity sensor. Proximity sensor is suppose to disable screen wake up due to accidental double taps such as when phone is in pocket but if proximity sensor is malfunctioning it will not let phone wake even when you double tap to wake it.
If you figure out what was wrong and/or fixed your issue, please do post back so it can help others. Thanks.
Edit: If you are looking for a good screen protector try Skinomi or Armor Suit wet screen protectors. They are not glass and are a pain to put on but once you install them and let them dry, they are awesome.
It helped me thanks a million!
wouldn't think ever it was the screen protector, thought one of my apps...
I've removed it and it was back to normal.
thanks again
