I'm facing with a serious bug (or maybe wrong configuration?). I activate the option to quickly launch the camera app by double tapping the home button.
So when im in my lock screen, which normally would requires my finger or pin to enter, when i double tap the home button, it takes me to the camera and I found out that I can simple press Back button and it will take me to the home screen (NOT the lock screen).
I've also noticed that even with camera double tap turn off, I can also double tap the HOME button to get into the phone.
Is there anyone else have this issue?
P/s: I've also tried changing my finger while pressing double tap to make sure, it still bypasses the security. (and no it's not a clone phone, It's straight from AT&T). Stock Firmware
Should I try reflashing the stock?
Mine goes back to the lock screen perfectly

My AT&T S7 Edge goes back to the lock screen after double tap to open the camera.

Dude by the time you double click home button it recognizes ur fingerprint. For checking u can tell someone else (whos fingerprint is not registered ) to double click it would not bypass.

I seriously doubt that this is the problem. I have fingerprint unlock set on my phone and it works properly going back to the lock screen when backing out of the camera.
Unless of course the OP is holding the button for a long time.

I thought I had the issue too. Then I double tapped with a finger I ain't registered to unlock the phone and it stopped. Probably just resting his registered finger too long on the home button

In trying to set up controls for a game, I found a very unhappy button combination. If the camera button is fully depressed while holding the left key on the hardware keyboard, the screen will lock and usually freeze the phone. Another user who tried to replicate this for me got an unresponsive camera app that required a reboot.
What are other users' mileage here? Anybody have any ideas on a workaround, or is this probably just a hardware quirk?
i tried every diff combination of left and the camera button, and did not have the same experience. i do know that if your in the camera app, and press power, it does lock the phone, but i think it is supposed to. pressing the power button a second time unfreezes it. imma do more research. i read something about this once on ppcg.
i found this.may or may not be the same thing for your friends.
"hey folks For those of you experiencing a lock-up while in camera mode, I thought it happened to me the other day as well, turns out its not a bug its user error. If you try to turn off the screen while in camera/video mode by hitting the screen lock button you are locking the camera mode, which mean you are making it so that the phone does not accept any inputs aside from unlocking by hitting the power/ screen unlock button again. This "lock mode" is indicated by lock icon appearing in the top corner of the screen. The reason for this screen unlock button again. This "lock mode" is indicated by lock icon appearing in the top corner of the screen. The reason for this mode is actually good, if you are filming something important you don't a finger slip hitting the back/home buttons and ruining your video, so you can lock it and not worry about it. Of course this means if you don't know about the feature and you activate it, instant freak out. But, now you know mode is actually good, if you are filming something important you don't a finger slip hitting the back/home buttons and ruining your mode is actually good, if you are filming something important you don't a finger slip hitting the back/home buttons and ruining your video, so you can lock it and not worry about it.

That may have something to do with it, but is not the problem I am having. When I am somewhere outside of the camera app (homescreen or game, for example) if I hold the left arrow key and fully depress the camera button, the screen will turn off and make the lock sound. Usually I can unlock it with the power button or this combinaton again, but it will occasionally freeze and refuse to accept input from the touchscreen or capacitive buttons.
(If it's at all helpful, I was trying to set up the camera button as the R shoulder button in SNESdroid.)
It could be that the phone is getting confused and thinks I'm trying to lock the camera app, but since I'm not in the app it locks the entire phone.
I just did it while reading your post lol I can confirm it freaks out lol

Is there any way to change how the fingerprint sensor responds so you have to press the button to turn the phone on instead of it just recognizing your fingerprint?
Doesn't that kind of make it pointless?
Its already set up like that.
If you don't place your finger into the button properly for scan, and press the button imstead than it just turns on screen and goes to lock screen.

I want to be able to hold the phone in my hand without accidentally unlocking it. I'm used to a Samsung phone where it's unlocked from the front button and now I'm constantly unlocking the phone just by placing my fingers on the sensor, that's why I'd like it to not read my fingerprint until I press the button.

OH, I see. You want it to not engage until the button pushes in. Not sure how we could go about that. I've unlocked on accident a few times, but I've gotten used to holding the phone a certain way and it's not too much of a problem. I actually like it to be honest. I've registered both index and middle fingers on each hand, and when I pick up the phone, I kind of slide it into my hand a certain way where it just falls on one of those fingers perfectly, and I get unlock immediately.
I get your point though.. Hopefully someone can find a way. Shouldn't be too hard.
I don't have any fingerprints registered. I just want to be able to press the hole button and turn on the screen, like I used to be able to do with my Note 3.
Is this possible?

You can double tap the screen to wake it up, but I don't think you can with the home button without fingerprint enabled.

I guess that is what I was afraid of. I guess I'll have to get used to double-tap to wake. Cheers!
Hello, so I have an issue with the power button of my Xiaomi Mi A1, when I try to lock my phone, it simply doesn't work(nothing happens), I first thought this is a hardware issue and that the button was faulty, but when I double pressed it(a shortcut to open the camera), it worked, so I'm confused, because the button itself apparently works, it just doesn't lock my phone.
Thanks!
I'm having the same issue.
Stock rom. September update.

Hello, so I fixed it, basically, I wanted to cope with it, until fixed, and I installed an app, which allows me to lock/unlock my phone by double tapping, just search on Play Store: "Lock/unlock phone with double tap". Then I was able to lock my phone, but funny enough, I wasn't able to unlock it xD, I tried pressing the power button now, and it worked! It needed like a reset or something.
So:
1) Download an app which allows you to lock your phone by tapping.
2) Lock your phone.
3) Press the power button.
This worked for me, but be sure you have a way to unlock your phone, if it doesn't work for you(in case you find another solution)!

Same problem but it doesnt connect camera because i have the shortcut disabled. it just doesnt block the screen because the button doesnt work propietly.
Im thinking in send it to the store to repair it because it is in warranty yet

Did you turnoff 'jump to camera' in settings->system->gestures?
Is there a setting that I can do to make back and menu capacitive buttons stop working when locked? Double tapping those buttons or holding down wakes the phone.
I think there is, don't remember exactly where.. Search Double tap on settings, that might help.. I believe I seen option like double tap to lock screen.. Is it happens when you double tap on screen too?
Edit:
I see you changed you changed display recently (it comes with touchscreen), it can be their problem too.. By the way how much it cost to replace the display
