Lockscreen - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

How do I completely turn off the lock screen? I'm going crazy going though every setting.. All I want is when I turn on the phone, either by tapping the screen twice, or by the power button it goes straight to the home screen... I don't care about swipping, patterns, or even the finger print reader... Anyway.. Ty.

You have that option with Xposed and gravity box.

Do you need to have root to install those Apps?

I never see my lockscreen because I use the fingerprint reader. A bit of training on where to stick your finger when handling the phone and you'll have no lockscreen with security as well.

Most recent update breaks screenoff + fingerprint

Before today's update, I was running Nova with double tap set to the app screen off and lock. This allowed me to double tap the home screen to shut the screen off and lock the phone (I prefer this to clicking the power button). After the update, I can still do this, but it will no longer work with fingerprint unlock. If I try unlocking the screen using fingerprint, it forces the pattern unlock. Does anyone know a way to fix this?
Thanks.

It's a Marshmellow thing and was like that before the update (at least there were many reports of it, I don't use that feature of Nova).

I'm not familiar with that, but it was definitely working for me before the update. It's not really a Nova feature; Nova just supplies the double tap gesture function which can be used for anything. I think it has something to do with lock screen security, but nothing I tried worked. Thanks anyways.

It's a Marshmellow thing, not a Nova thing. It doesn't work on 6p, or 5x, or any other variant of the s7. Or with any other apps that lock the screen. Seems like it may have been a fluke if it worked on yours. It has to do with the apis for smart lock and Google's fingerprint api.

Same thing with me. The update messed mine up as well. I use this app now with Nova double tap and its working good. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iwashisoft.screenoff&hl=en
It doesn't lock the screen it just turns it off but it will lock when the setting you have it set for times out. I have mine at 30 seconds.

Its in the phone settings> Lockscreen and Security> Secure Lock Settings> Lock Automatically> pick one
No it doesn't... FUD

I use a different tap to lock screen and it now makes me use the pattern all the time. If I use the power switch and wait the 30 seconds the fingerprint works. Try that and see if it works not using Nova.
It is third party lock/screen off apps that cause the enter pattern always function.

Thanks for the reply, but it works now. You just have to use a different app that turns the screen off but does not lock it. With the new app, the phone will lock itself after a few seconds and then I can use fingerprint properly when I turn it back on.
Installed the update from last night, after the phone rebooted the recent and back capacitive buttons are not working. I just did the repair software tool with verizon and that didn't fix it. Crazy...

Nova Launcher Screen Off/On Requires pin on print unlock. Any help?

So I usually can figure out just about anything. But I can't find an app to turn my screen off without using the power button to save it without it requiring me to enter a pin after I use my finger print.
I am currently using Nova Launcher with the Double Tap to turn the screen off and it too requires a pin on unlock. Is there any work around this?
I'm using Stock+ by Tupac4u, not the N Preview.
Thanks!

I went through that too. Greenify has a setting that allows holding the home button to shut the screen off that works without a PIN to unlock. Some kernels have a swipe navbar feature that can be turned on with ex kernel manager. But currently I am using Ressurection Remix which allows programming long presses on the navbar. I believe Pure Nexus has a built in setting like this also.
GMD GestureControl (play store) works fine (root)
You guys are the BEST! Thanks a Lot!

Use the root option built into Nova. It will turn the screen off without locking it.
I'm using Nova's double tap to run a Tasker task to run a shell command "input key event 26" to turn the screen off. Then Franco Kernel's double tap to wake option to turn the screen back on.

Why just why the complications... in Nova launcher you got double tap to screen lock option and once you do the same first time.. it asks for the normal method and root.. with root you don't see the pin or pattern screen.. with normal you do...
If you are rooted you should be good to go with that..

Fingerprint scanner emulate home button?

Is there any way to make my fingerprint scanner into a capacitive button when the phone is already unlocked? Google turned up some options that say there are apps for Samsung devices, but anything for the axon?
Yes you can. There is an app here on xda apps called Fingerprint quick action. I already have it installed and default action is to toggle notification bar. Home is also an option.

What's your hit to battery life?
None, I still get more than 6hrs of screen time (2 days of use).

That app works beautifully, thank you!
Just to throw my own thread off topic, is anyone else surprised that we're creaming the pixel for onscreen time?

Amazing app. I hope in the future it can be set to Back button functionality so it'd be easier to use the Axon at night. I'm still having a hard time pressing Back or Recent capacitive buttons in the dark.

I'm using the Pie Control app for that - so I don't even have to stretch my thumb down to the bottom of the screen, just swipe in from either bezel. I'm gonna try the Fingerprint Quick Action app - but what happens when you accidentally brush the sensor as your fingers are fumbling around the back of the phone like my fingers often do?

This doesn't require root privileges and teaches dexterous disciprine.

The Pie Control app from the Play store only needs root if you're using some of the special functions (menu) - it works just fine without root.
Also I set this app to turn off with the scanner and don't have problems until I play games and have to move my hands around the back of the phone a bunch. Was frustrating to keep having my screen turn off in the middle of Asphalt 8. Maybe there's a way to make a quick toggle widget for gaming mode?

Any app to turn s10+ screen off?

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.

samsung Pay after lockscreen

I have a strange issue with S10+ ... I have lockscreen secured with unlock with facial recognition, and fingerprint and backup pattern
But I think I may have told the device during one of those auto generate messages to auto unlock when "on body" is detected
But the problem is this .... Intermittently when I take the phone out of my pocket it's opening with swipe up to the Samsung Pay screen asking for a finger print .... The problem is that no matter what l do (home button, back button, etc) it just goes back to the lockscreen.... Unless I go all the way through the Samsung Pay timeout thing
Not sure why this is triggering intermittently
Anyone else?

In the Samsung pay app use favorite card menu. You might need to uncheck one of the options.
