Hello
Is it possible on the Nexus 6p to use the finger print scanner to unlock apps with the finger print scanner on the phone without using it to lock the phone and having to setup the PIN lock?
If you mean that you'd like to have an app that locks certain apps and unlock it with the fingerprint scanner, you should try FingerSecurity. You can set which apps are locked by the app and you can then use the fingerprint scanner to unlock them.

You can join the Beta to get Nexus 6P support. Works great.
and without any app?
just using the F.P to wake the screen up or lock it?

I don't understand what are you saying.
With Nexus 6P you just have to touch the fingerprint sensor without touching any button and the screen will wake.
Android doesn't have a functionality to put a fingerprint lock to open a certain app. For that you will have to use the link above.
i wish, but

in order to activate FP, it demands another locking feature.
i'd upload a screenshot, but it's not in english

Yes and that is how it works with every device ever.
No device will allow you to have only fingerprint security (if you mean that you want to make it impossible to unlock your phone without your f.p) because modern (6.0+) Android phones would be thrown into the garbage if your f.p. sensor stops working properly. (the system encryption will be fu*ked cause it requires a pin)

It says: fp with linw/password/code.
No option for "just" fp.
Android 7.1.1
Just like what was said above, there is no option for just fingerprint. You need to have a backup way of unlocking your device. So if you get your fingers chopped off, fingerprint sensor fails, etc. you could still unlock your phone with a pin/password/pattern.

so what mihovil13 said:
"With Nexus 6P you just have to touch the fingerprint sensor without touching any button and the screen will wake"
is not correct?
just the FP isn't enough
oh! finally i got it.
forget the last question. everything's great

You can unlock your ph, but there is no option of locking it via fp without any third-party app

It's available in Nougat
available in nougat.. if u can't wait use fingerprint quick a action in XDA
Gravitybox
You can use gravitybox to lock your phone using fingerprint. It is available in Nougat, but if you're on MM, and can't wait, install xposed framework, install gravitybox module, and under fingerprint settings, you can set an action for each finger you've configured. One of them can be set to lock the screen.
On 7.1 im using the fp sensor as home button and set up double tap to turn off screen. Maybe it's available on some cm13 builds too?

Provided you're on the stock Nougat ROM, and you've got your fingerprints set up, head to Settings>Security. Under 'Device Security', tap the gear icon next to Screen Lock. There on the Screen Lock Settings, you'll have an option to long press the fingerprint sensor to lock your screen.
(This is present on Nougat v7.0 NPJS25.93-14.4, I think it's present on earlier Nougat builds).
Custom ROMs likely have their own method of locking with the fingerprint sensor or with the soft home button.
This will help

Hello,
Last week i got an update for Nougat version & updated it successfully. But i have come across an issue, with Marshmallow even though i didn't activate finger print scanner to wake my screen up when i touch on the finger print scanner it ll wake up my phones screen. but now with Nougat, that doesn't work (or) double tapping the screen also doesn't wake the screen.
Is there any way that i could wake my screen ? (i didn't root my phone so i would prefer non root method)
Thanks in Advance.

Open the "Moto" app -> Display -> Enable the feature.
I think that's the raise-to-wake feature you're looking for.

settings-> security-> fingerprint. set up the FP here to unlock the phone
"Gesture settings" are not part of stock N, they are in custom N ROMs like CM14.1
my wife has the same issue, it´s now raise to wake. in marshmallow, when you haven´t set any fingerprints to the phone, the fingerprint reader used to wake the screen, the exact same behavior of the power button, in nougat they got rid of this feature (im guessing).
I am facing same issue.
Hello, are there any gestures for turning on screen in le pro 3. For example as lg smartphones when double tapping the screen turning on. I find in the setting when you press long to back button it goes to sleep but there is not same gesture for wake up. I am using stock rom.

Nope. I miss that from other phones too. There are 3rd party apps that technically do double tap to wake (dt2w) but they basically only by keeping the screen on non-stop and just turning the brightness all the way down. I wasn't a fan of the few I've tried. A custom kernel mod could allow it, in theory.

Try this to enable ambient display and wave to wake up feature.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/themes/acdisplay-ambient-dispaly-t3521461
Also try Fingerprint Quick Action for notification pull down

I tried it but it doesn't effective because it is working after fingerprint. I want to find something which can wake up phone without pressing power button or fingerprint sensor.

Well that's because you need to unlock it. Try disabling the option "Power button instantly lock" and it will go to home screen right away in one swipe.

This an old APP, used to like it 2 years ago...try ALWAYS ON DISPLAY-AMOLED...using it better than the ACTIVE DISPLAY, you don't need to used the pattern, you can use your fingerprint. Trust me, ACTIVE DISPLAY is an old app, works well when fingerprint is not present before.:highfive:

Interesting and thanks, I will give it a try but mind you, you cannot use fingerprint while the phone is on the table with screen facing up, can you? And using the fingerprint defeats the purpose of using this app and in fact you don't need this app or the ACDisplay if you can use your fingerprint.

Yep, I am trying it now and I think my first impression is it being more responsive than ACDisplay both in wave-to-wake-up and pick-up-to-wake-up features. Double-tap to wake up phone does not work at all but rather use to go to home screen once the phone woke up similar to swiping up or down. Notification glance could use some improvement, I like ACDisplay's tap to glance and swipe-down to get rid of the notification. I will check the battery consumption of this app over night.

Well I was wrong as it is not battery-friendly as ACDisplay. It keeps on popping out even without waving the hand or picking up the phone. I uninstalled it now and reverted to ACDisplay. =D
I know guys, there are a ton. But so far I found only two kinds:
- Some completely block your phone, not allowing you to unlock with face or fingerprint.
- Some -idk why- turn off the screen and randomly turn it on inmediatly after. This doesn't happen evertime, but it's a problem cos if you have smartlock activated then the screen is on and phone in unlocked...
I just want a way to imitate the power button single tap function. I don't like pressing physical buttons, I use a gesture to turn the screen off before putting it inside my pocket. And yesterday I pocket-dialed two people...
Nova has a double tap to sleep function, and greenify used to have a short-cut to the same thing.

I have previously used screen Lock pro. It's not working correctly with the s10+, I have sent a video of the problem to the developer & he says that he will have support for our phones quickly. I will let you know as soon as I am notified

Thanks :fingers-crossed:
I use Gravity Screen Pro. It has a pocket sensor setting, turn screen off/on by proximity, screen on/off by motion, fingerprint unlock, etc.
Either Gravity Screen or KinScreen. I have premium for both but have been using KinScreen for the past few years as it was stable than Gravity Screen, but I haven't used Gravity Screen's latest version either.

I'll have to look at KinScreen, although I've had zero problems WITH Gravity Screen on my S9.

So i initially tried using Nova double tap gesture. It would turn the screen off but a second later it would go to the lock screen. Now i use Good Lock by Samsung and i actually like it a lot. In Good Lock go to the the "Family" tab - (no idea why it's called this) and then select One Hand Operation +.... I created a Small Right handle that turns the screen off when i slide it. Works great and i have yet to activate it by accident.

My experience with these apps is that they fail sometimes and I just don't want to have my phone turning on inside my pocket, I think it's risky.

What region are you in? Weird, because it's an official Samsung App... let me know if you can't find it and i can post the apk for you... Also, make sure it's the 1.0.00.46 version, as they just updated it to work with Pie.
I also am desperate for this feature. Tried all of the apps and all of them go to the lock screen for some reason. I contacted a couple of developers but idk if they can do anything. Tried the one hand gestures and it does work but the thing is I still prefer double tap to lock instead of those swipe gestures. I think this feature should be natively supported like on almost every other android phone.

And be aware that there is a Good Lock in Play Store but it's not the same app. Like someone else said, get the one in Galaxy Store.
Use edge feature and download softkey from galacy store just slide over and press button to lock phone

I use Nova for that: ||>>>Gestures & Inputs>Home button>Screen lock(uncheck "only on main home...")
then go to 'Gestures' below, click "Swipe up" and also check "Screen lock" Now, I use 'Full screen gestures" for nav bar already, so that Nova gesture setup is not messing up the nav bar gestures but rather compliments it. Example: I have some app open on the screen and swiping it up(w/o Nova) in the center would bring me to the Home screen(and that is being mimic w/Nova too) then the second 'swipe up' locks the screen. Simple, quick double 'swipe up' from any app does the trick, if you are on the home screen already then you just swipe it up only once.
I also use full screen gestures. The problem is not the gesture. The problem is that I need an app to turn off the screen. There are like a hundred apps that do that. But they all have one of the two problems I said before.
I'll look for the good lock in a bit. I have to find the apk.
"there was a network or server error. Try again later. The mapper function returned a null value"
I'm getting this error when I open good lock. Apparently it's not supposed to be use in Argentina. I'll try Nova launcher now.
