How to lock screen with out power button if i install third party applications finger print or iris not working to unlock phone any idea ?
Not sure of your questions? but you can unlock your phone with face recognition or password. I don't know any other way to manually lock the screen without power key, but if that doesn't work, set the shortest timeout, it should lock itself in 30sec. no matter what, if undisturbed. To go to unlock screen without power button, you can press home screen, about 1 cm from the bottom in the center. Hope this is what you're looking for.

In the Galaxy store think it's called smart edge or something... Only one I found that let's you lock and still let's you use fingerprint without using pin/pattern

is there an app that locks the screen AT THE SAME TIME with the locking of the screen with the button on the top of HD?

Various apps for doing this including Smartlock (which I use), HD Tweak, LockMeLite and various others apps.
Once you've installed it Smartlock, go to Settings > system > smartlock and make sure 'suspend lock' is enabled. Now each time you turn on/off device using top button device will lock
thank you.can one of these programs UNLOCK the screen AT THE SAME TIME that the light goes ON?

Sorry don't follow you. You want a lock which unlocks device when the light comes on after pushing power button??
Putting phone into standby by pressing button will lock device if you use one of apps attached, but when you press power button again you'll need to unlock device by swiping finger across screen

i installed smart lock ,i see it in "remove programs" but i cannot find it anywhere!
well i mean it is in the path you gave me but not in the same position in the spb shell..anyway works great thank you!
what i meant with a preivious question is if it possible like when i press once the power button and display goes off AND device is locked,i want when the phone is like that to press the power button and the 1--display to light(as it does ) BUT also 2-- the display to UNLOCK also at once!
Pocketshield...
The app you're looking for is Pocketshield. It can unlock based on the light sensor...so if there's enough light touching the screen then it will unlock! It also does many other options too. Its not free but you can try it first...google it for their website
Yeah, sounds like pocketshield is the answer for you as none of the ones I mentioned has the light sensor option so you'd have to turn on device and then unlock it.

ok thanks!
Basically, I wrote a private app that generates a different hex number each time it's run, and you have to use a certain algorithm to determine the answer, then input it in binary with a mini-keypad and press the unlock button. That way I can just show anyone what I'm putting in because if they get the phone, they can't use the same code unless the same random number is the same (its seed changes based on currentTimeMillis() / 1000L) Anyway what is the easiest way to make this Activity launch like the regular pattern lock when I turn on screen? also I don't have a lockscreen by default, not an issue. It has to prevent pressing home/back and has to launch without any delay. thanks
doctor there's a bump in my thread what should I do
this is a very good question
the closest i came to finding an answer was the android lock screen src
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl.../internal/policy/impl/LockScreen.java;hb=HEAD
Yeah, I cloned the entire source, but it was way too complicated for me to find what I needed. Also, what is the difference between these 4 things?
Keyguard - ?
Lock screen - the screen that has the 'slide to unlock' widget depending on your phone/rom
Unlock screen - the screen where you draw pattern, pin, password, etc.
Wake [lock] - ?
I only have 4 softbuttons, volume +/-, and power on my device, and only power makes the screen come on, which shows WidgetLocker then the pattern screen. Both of which hide the softbuttons unless I hold down power, then it shows power off, airplane, and silent options and the softbuttons panel pops up. This doesn't allow me to press home to bypass pattern/widgetlocker, thankfully.
Halp my thread seems to have a case of severe bumpitis. Is it lethal?
I keep trying to do a print screen by pressing the rear power button and volume down but its very difficult as most times the volume just goes down. never had such an issue with the g4 I had
another thing is double tapping and going in through the draw password.
when double tap the screen it doesnt give you the option to draw the password. I have to swipe first then I can draw the password which is a pita. any way to enable a double tap to go straight to draw password option? why dont this people test these things?
how the hell do I disable google assistant crap "ok google" ?
1. easiest to do the screenshot with the VOL- button just before power.
2. No.
3. not sure as i like assisstant.
@rocketman1 I keep trying to do a print screen by pressing the rear power button and volume down but its very difficult as most times the volume just goes down. never had such an issue with the g4 I had
This one can be easier, you can use the quick memo ( Aka Capture + Plus )options and it will take screenshots for you, as i believe holding Vol down will do the quick memo screen shot if its on in the settings under ( Shortcut Keys)

This is to keep your code from accidentally being put in during pocked use if it turns on. I dont believe it can be shut off without some bigger edits to systemui

disable the google app from your app settings.

Or just disable the Google Assistant, if you prefer:
Here's how to disable Google Assistant:
1. Open Google app
2. Tap on Menu (three lines) on top left
3. Tap Settings
4. Under Google Assistant, tap Settings
5. Scroll halfway down the menu, and voila! A toggle to turn the Assistant off.
2. Funny, coming from the G3 I had similar questions. Not sure I need to swipe before entering knock code. Worked fine without on the G3. At least you can knock directly with the screen off, bypassing this, but sometimes I turn on my screen to see the notifications and the extra swipe is an annoyance.
3. Unfortunately if you disable it in the settings, then you lose the "Ok Google" from Google Now. Instead it just prompts you to turn Google Assistant back on. Similarly, if you turn on Google Assistant but don't give it Web & App Activity + Device Information data (which is every app switch you do, every movement of your phone or touch of the screen), then it takes your question but then just *****es at you.
Only workaround I've found for now (probably won't last forever) is to set your keyboard language to English US Virgin Islands, a region where Google Assistant is not yet supported. You might need the root app Language Enabler or some other method to enable that language. Hopefully someone finds a better resolution.
When I unlock the phone with finger print ,it directly opens to the Home Screen.How it can be made to open the Lock Screen?
I think it is OK to FP open to Home Screen. I cannot imagine why one would open to Lock Screen and next once more unlock. This does not make sense.

you can also double tap your phone screen, which will show the lock screen...
Ok,thank you jeryl.But,if I activate double tap, will it affect the battery consumption?

Shure it will. Touch sensor of the screen will be constantly enabled this way consuming power
Hi, im starting to use smart lock to use wifi/bt device to unlock my phone (LineageOS 17.1)
works great, but it unlocks to the lock screen, so a swipe is needed. is there a way to unlock directly to home screen when a smart lock device is connected, while keeping the lock screen when no device is connected (default behavior)?
if i enable "unlock directly to the home screen" in the options, power button goes directly to the numpad for unlocking, instead of the default notifications lock screen
i would like to keep the lock screen with notifications but unlock directly to homescreen with smartlock. it is possible?
thanks in advance!
