Every time I turn the screen off, the phone vibrates 2 times with about 5 seconds delay. I have tracked this vibration down to fingerprint scanner. Its seems to be an indication of it going to sleep. When you turn the screen off, you can place your finger on the scanner and it will wake the screen up. This function is active for few seconds, and then the scanner goes to sleep (signalized by the vibration).
Anyone know how to turn this notification off? Or even better, how to disable this whole function entirely so the scanner sleeps immediately after screen goes off?
Additional information
the Vibration occurs even if you turn the screen on after turning it off but before the vibration (seems irregular though)
the time of the vibration changes with the lock time setting
turning off notification vibrations entirely helps, but I dont want to do that
not using the fingerprint unlock helps too, but I would prefer to keep using it

Hey. My g928c is runnin on custom rom/kernel. Not sure that could be the same or not but when I turn off the screen, it doesnt wake without pressing home or power button. Maybe you use easyHome app or kind of app which uses fingerprint sensor. My device doesnt wake up after turned the screen off and placing a finger on the scanner or etc. As I remember, easyHome app has got that wake up option but in one of older versions. I hope you solve it..
Oh, I was sure this behavior was caused by the sensor, but now that I actually switched back default locker, it doesnt do it. So the issue is entirely in the Hi Locker I am using. I should have checked that in the first place. So thank you. Now my question changes. Are there any more locker options that use fingerprint scanners other than the default and hi locker?

Glad to know you solved it. Im using default lockscreen and never wondered any others lol. Maybe you try{if didnt} Go launcher's go locker etc. Dont know anything more in this case sorry, good luck.
I tried few other alternatives and honestly they were way too cumbersome and bloated. For now I revoked Hi Locker's permission to make notifications, which got rid of the vibration. I hope nothing broke with this modification. Thanks for getting me on track.

Always-on OK Google is awesome, but for some reason it only turns on the screen about half the time for me.
When it doesn't turn the screen on, it still listens and reacts to commands though, but without the screen on I can't see what it's doing so I still have to manually press the power button to turn on the screen to see the results, effectively defeating the purpose of having it always on (for hands-free operations).
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Is there a solution?
Did you turn on Smart lock for OK google?

I did turn on Smart Lock, with trusted devices, trusted places, trusted face and trusted voice enabled.
Yeah I see it... it seems a little buggy, but for me it *always* comes on if it is locked. Not so much when it is unlocked (just sleeping).
I set the screen to lock 5 seconds after screen sleeps.

Thanks for the confirmation. Come to think of it I only started to notice this issue after I set the screen to lock 5 minutes after the screen sleeps. I'm now setting it to 1 minute instead to get a better compromise between OK-Google-ability and convenience of not having to unlock while I use the phone frequently.
Hopefully Google will come around to fix this obvious bug in the not-too-distant future too.

Seems to help. But still inconsistent.
Hi,
from this afternoon, when the screen switch off, I can't wake it up anymore fingerprint or powerbutton, I ear the sound that proves the phone is locked/unlocked, but the screen remains off
Any idea?
hmm i know this from using the frong finger xd .. i tested how secure it is with others finger.
...if i use the wrong finger too often it locks the phone for some sec and in this time it wont react on fingerprint reading. But that the power button also not works is new to me. Already restarted the phone?
I have used quite a lot of time pondering over how to wake up the phone using a timer instead of a real event like pressing the lock button or taking the phone out of your pocket using proximity sensor. I tried to use two apps, Automate and Tasker, to achieve this functionality, but for some reason neither of them managed to successfully wake the phone up although the event that was supposed to wake it up did trigger. Then I thought about how there are loads of apps that let you wake the phone by tapping the screen or shaking it, and came up with an idea to feed a signal with a timer that equals tapping the screen and use that to fool the app into waking the phone up.
Is this a possibility, or is there another, reliable way to wake the screen up using a timer?
Tap to wake won't work on the S4 since the screen is completely turned off, therefore it won't react to any touch events when the screen is off, like the new generation phones do.
Shake to wake may work.
Hello folks,
I got my OP5 today, damn is this a sexy phone!
I've set up everything like I want it but there is something annoying I faced..
Every time I lock the screen (aka, turn screen OFF, push power button or via button gesture) the phone vibrates 4 times in a very short pattern.
What is this? Where can I disable it? I can handle a slight vibrate when unlocking, but I don't unterstand it when I lock the phone.
Thanks for your help!
Just googled and found this it's so annoying! It doesn't do it on silent mode only ring and do not disturb.
Oneplus please fix it, and while you are at it turn allow us to turn off the double tap to wake and fingerprint sensor vibration if we so wish. Sick of my phone vibrating when its in my hand because my palm touches the fingerprint sensor.
Are you running Light Flow? If so this is the source of your problems.
So my mxpe lockscreen wasnt timing out at all, using latest google phone wakes up the device leaving lockscreen opened and if plugging in the turbopower waking the lockscreen it would stay opened. I found this solution to work.
Quote from another website user
Ok. So recently I used "power saving" mode. I took it off immediately after I didn't need it any longer. For some reason, the Android system on my phone didn't register that, so my phone lock screen kept time-outing after 3-seconds (kinda annoying when trying to use Samsung Pay).
Anyways, do what I did: simply go to Settings>System>Battery>Power Saving Mode>On
Then just turn it back off. Kinda like cycling it, but only once. This time around, my Edge seemed to pick it up, and register it. My timeout screen is now longer than those annoying 3-seconds.

I guess it didnt fix it. The sleep when in active is set for screen and lock screen. This sux. I have sleep set @30min so my lockscreen will stay alive for 30min.
Found a real solution that works. Found here.

Some stated to goto developer options/running services and kill one by one each service and power off the screen and back on till timeout works on screen well I did this and found that Material Notification Shader kept the timeout screen from timing out so I disabled the app and I have a timeout on the screen after I power on the screen and/or plug in the power cord.
