Not on Samsung, but you can use an alternative.
Go to settings> accessibility> dexterity & interaction> easy screen turn on.
Switching on the option will allow you to unlock the phone while on table or on a surface just by waving your hand above it.
Note: if your phone is locked by fingerprint or passcode it just will lighten up the display. then you'll have to give the passcode or finger but it'll make you free to press any physical buttons.

By the way, on Galaxy S7/S7 Edge Nougat update, you'll be able to unlock phone by double tapping on any notification icon from Always on Display. but it'll lead you to that very specific app interface.
thanks.

Method 1:
1. Place the palm of your hand on the screen of S4. Make sure the phone is unlocked, because it won’t work on the locked screen.
2. Swipe your hand across the screen in either direction, left or right. You should hear a camera shutter sound along with a notification appearing on screen saying “copied to clipboard”. You can find the screenshot in your photo Gallery.
(make sure the “Palm motion” option is turned on. To on/off this option, go to Settings -> Motions and gestures -> Palm motion)
Method 2:
simply press lock key and home button at the same time. Hold both the buttons at same time till you hear the camera shutter sound.

sorry for delay thanking you .. have been out .... wasn't being rude
Ok. I tried this Sweeping method from the manual (page 26) and it DOES NOT work for me!!! Can anybody try it? The only thing what work is Home+Power buttons combination. (i9505 AMDC)

Touch the screen when swiping your hand
Sent from my Galaxy using xda premium
enable palm swipe and swipe across the screen with your hands in contact with screen
Palm swipe works, it's just not as sensitive as it was compared to the S3/Note 2. You need to apply a bit more pressure.

working perfectly here..
And it must be working fine for both of you.
Cause there is logic for d2w and glance view.
If phone's upper part / proximity sensor is cover by finger or something, screen wont wake..
its logic for screen not wake in pockets.
Try it.

Yeh, I am on Same, H818N with 10f rooted.

my sensor is cover by a tempered glass.. my temperedglass has no cut for sensors.. is that causing this problem?
glance view....while your screen is off, touch the screen anywhere and drag finger and stop but dont lift your finger at the end. the top part of your screen will come on.

It can be because some particle or your phone cover could be touching,clean the surface of sensor it should work fine.
if cleaning sensor is not solving the issue then do a hard reset

it happens to me also.whenever i take my phone out of my pocket,sometimes it will not recognise my fingerprint,then i manually unlock the phone with pattern and from the next time onwards it works with fingerprint. i think because of some dust it doesn't recognise the fingerprint.

Is there a way to turn off light on capacitive keys and enable on screen navigation?

I know it was possible on other xiaomi phones, but is it possible with Google's software?
Thanx.
If your phone already rooted you can edit build.prop to enable on screen navigation

you missed the question.
yes we can edit the build.prop to activate the navigation bar, but not everyone wants that black bar.
we just simply want to turn the capacitive button lights.
hope some day we figure it out :good:
Any news? It's the only point that stops me to buy this phone (I hate soft touch buttons, in this way they will be invisible).
We can enable the software keys but how to disable capacitive touch buttons on mi a1, i have already edited the generic keyboard file added # to comment those buttons but that doesnt work for this phone.. anyone here with the solution?

You can achieve it using GravityBox ( xposed module ). In GravityBox under 'Display Tweaks' click on 'Button backlight Modes' and select 'Disable button backlight'. You can even enable transparent navigation bar under 'Navigation bar' setting.
Slight side question but related... Is there any way to get the key backlights to stay on longer? (Without root)
I came from a Sony which were the other way around so would like to see them to learn the new order!

"Touch-disable mode" switch disappeared after Oreo update?

Hello!
I'm using the P10 Plus and I'm not able to find the setting for Touch-disable mode anymore. (I'm pretty sure it was there on previous android version)
This "Touch-disable mode" setting seems to be always on, after Oreo update.
It could be cool for everyday use, but it's a BIG problem when I like to put the phone into a plastic case/bike phone holder.
I get the message "do not cover the top of the screen..." and I'm not able to unlock the smartphone from the case.
That's soooooo annoying!!
Does anyone know a workaround for this issue??
Thank you very much!
Am I the only one with this problem?
When you lock your phone you try to cover the top part tgen you'll see on display says disable it pressing power and volume up I think.

Tnx, I know, but when the device is in a motorbike holder ( like my Givi S957B ) it's quite impossible to press power and volume up...
I'm just asking why in oreo firmware the "touch-disable mode" is not available anymore.
For me it's a big issue!

No, same problem comes with the Huawei P20 Pro. Touch-disable mode is enabled, but there is no option to disable it. :crying:
Came on here as had the same problem. I found that if you tap volume up and power button 3 times it disables or enables it. It doesn't work anyway, if you accidentally press the fingerprint scanner in your pocket, it unlocks the phone and you end up changing all your settings and calling a porn line all from your pocket.

I've tried everything...
combination of volume up and power 3 times doesn't work for me.
power+volume up just disables it for that single time...even if i make this combination for 3 or more times...
Same here. Help.

I googled, seems p 20 different than others setting. Can't solve.
Pls help

In the System Table screen, scroll down to the bottom towards the 'T' section and find "Touch Disable Mode 1". Tap on it and change it to 0 to turn it off and hit save.

The above worked for me about 3 weeks ago on my P20 Pro.
I had an update to the phones os last week, now it's reverted back to not liking the sensor being covered when I have the phone in my running armband.
The "Touch Disable Mode" option has disappeared from the System Table section of Settings Database Editor. Most annoying!
Hey
So I installed the Setting Database Editor app to change the setting and then uninstalled it to see if the change would persist without the app - it did not, so I went and reinstalled the app but also found that the "touch_disable_mode" setting was missing so I added it manaually and its working ...no more annoying message about nonsense.

Wow dude you are my lord and savior worked perfectly! That's a shame on Huawei's side, that they have forgotten about this absolutely ridiculous setting.. I use my bike holder, I'm a delivery person and this really annoyed the **** out of me
