finger print key lock?

Is this possible to lock or unlock the screen with only fingerprint without presssing the power button?
Yes, for waking without pressing power button.
No, for waking by only swiping FP reader.
Set up FP unlock.
Activate wake on volume rocker.
Now you can wake pressing volume rocker and unlock swiping FP reader.
i hope someone work on this isue. it is so boring that press the power button and swipe. only finger print could enough for lock and unlock.
thank you for kindly interest...
You have to wake the phone first by pressing a button, otherwise the FP scanner would need to be on all the time draining the battery, and probably reducing it's lifecycle considerably.

Which button to be pressed for going to homescreen

Hi
I just recieved my Op2 and I am really irritated its not allowing me to go to home screen. Left button if to go back and right button list all apps. When I press middle button it does nothing. Only in logout state it act as fingerprint scanner. Is middle buutton pressable?
Not sure how can I reach to home screen. Can some one suggest.
Actually, the fingerprint sensor doubles as a home button.
If touching it doesn't bring you back to homescreen, then I'm afraid your OPT is defective.
Yes. The middle button should double up as a home button but only if you are using hardware keys. If you have enabled the On screen Nav bar then the button will only work as a fingerprint sensor .

Use home button to wake-unlock device?

Hello,
I know that it exists 2 ways to unlock the Z1 using the fingerprint:
- Wake up the device using the double tap to wake or power button, then use smoothly the fingerprint sensor to unlock the device
- While the screen is off, perform a long click into the fingerprint button (AKA home button) to wake up and unlock in the same action.
I like much more the second option, but... do you think that the long click will break the fingerprint sensor with the time?
Time will tell

Change the power button settings.

Hello guys, can anyone recommend an app/rom to change the power button settings? or add more functionality to the fingerprint sensor?
Basically my fingers are not that delicate and I always end-up powering off the screen while I am trying to lower the volume or hold. I really would like to use the fingerprint sensor to do all the work of unlocking/touch to screen off/ hold to power off.

Question about Fingerprint/Power button

Hello G6 owners, I have a question about the fingerprint sensor/power button. Is this a physical button that you press in, compared to the fingerprint sensors on the Pixel phones? If so, do you have to physically press it at the same time you scan your fingerprint in order to turn your phone on? Or can you set it to just turn the phone on with a touch? Also, if this is indeed a physical button, does pressing it while the screen is on turn the screen off? And finally one more question: how hard do you have to press? It seems like it would be awkward physically pressing a button in that position...
The V30 looks pretty awesome and I'm assuming it is the same as the G6 in regards to the sensor/button.
Thanks!
When you want turn off the screen or shutdown the phone you need to click ( simple click like all buttons ) and for wakeup or open your phone you need just a simple touch on the button for scanning your fingerprint ..
You can also use the double click on the screen for turning off the screen or double click + password/knockcode/pin... For wakeup the phone
