Hi,
I used to have a Galaxy S5 and when it's screen was locked I could simply press the camera icon and slide my finger for the camera to start (this wouldn't unlock the phone, it would simply let me take pictures). Is there a way to do this on the G5 Plus?

Install a third party lock screen

Mine does this without third party lockscreen I just tested.
When I lock the phone my self I can do that, but when the phone locks it self after 30 seconds the camera shortcurt is not there.
I think something might be wrong? I just tested waiting and it worked that way also so maybe it should be working even if its not for you. I have G5 Plus 64 GB US version stock firmware.
Tested too, working fine here.
32/3 GB French xt1685.
When it's locked and moved, there is no shortcuts (glance) but after pressing the power button the shortcuts are available.

I received my P7000 yesterday to replace my LG G3 that I left in a puddle...loving it so far. Just have a few questions that I'm sure won't be difficult for people to answer but are bugging me!
- How do you change the lockscreen wallpaper? I really don't like the default one
- Is it possible to use fingerprint as the lockscreen but have things like Spotify controls on there? I like being able to do that in my car without having to unlock. Using a simple swipe lock gives me Spotify controls but it disappears when I set it as fingerprint.
- On my LG G3, there was a button on the home screen that took me to a list of open apps which I could swipe to the side to close. I'm guessing it was a Lollipop thing rather than G3 - how do I access it on the P7000?
Thanks!
Sorry just another one about the lockscreen whilst I'm at it...
I've ditched fingerprint for now in favour of pattern unlock. But I still have to swipe unlock to access the pattern unlock screen. Any way of removing the swipe step? Annoying having to do both.

Ah brilliant, thanks. Never would have worked that out!
Hi anyone else experiencing a bug where it takes like 5/6 trys to slide the lockscreen up. Its like im not sliding up enough but im going off the top of the screen i have to flick like 20 times sometimes.
Indeed Nougat seems to require a slightly different swipe-up-to-unlock action than Marshmallow. If you're going off the top of your screen, though, you are doing it wrong. You're not catching Pokémon, just slowly swipe up about an inch, that should already trigger the unlock. Do a practice run, see how slow and short you can do it, you'll be surprised.
I also have this problem since the update to Nougat, sometimes the screen will unlock with a short swipe and others you have to go the full length of the screen!
I have taken the screen lock off for now as i am fed up with swiping 5+ times to unlock the phone
If you disable swipe to shrink screen in moto actions then it works fine.

Yeah it works fine with swipe to shrink disabled now thanks
Shame that the swipe to shrink is causing the problem.
I can confirm the issue, and for the moment, also the solution! Thanks guys

Had same problem but this didn't fix it for me. Ended up disabling/enabling Moto app. Noticed System UI tuner had disappeared so re-enabled that also. So far so good...
This is an old thread, but my findings may be relevant. A short time ago, I also started to have problems with all sort of swiping, on the home screen, but also when swiping away notifications or within apps. (Ironic, since I initially discarded those problems in the first answer here. Mea culpa.)
Eventually, I found the reason for it. I used a small app, "Media Volume Only", which hooked into the special "read phone status" permissions (in this case to monitor and modify volume keys behaviour). I assume in the process of monitoring gestures/keys it interferes with swiping actions. After disallowing, disabling and deinstalling this app, my swiping actions are as responsive as they should be.
So if you still have problems with swiping, it may well worth looking into these apps that carry that special permission.
Disaable all smart lock option.
Mainly on body detection option.
Thanks....
Its working 100%

You nailed it! Not only does their "Swipe to shrink screen" feature work TERRIBLY, as if that wasn't poor enough execution, it works terribly at the expense of making the swipe to unlock so completely frustratingly UNRELIABLE.
These folks need to take a leaf out of Huawei's book and make the swipe to shrink, work by swiping horizontally across the navigation bar ... (Huawei, incidentally, are FAR from perfect and need to fix their TERRIBLY laggy, sluggish phones) - you can SEE why people side with iPhone, can't ya!

On body detection is the reason in my case.
Problem solved now
IDK of you guys saw, bit in Moto g5 plus there's and option to use the finger print scanner as home, back, and recent application key altogether by swiping the sensor and thus disable the in screen buttons, do you guys think this is possible to port to g4 plus?
Something like this method, for example? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-root-how-to-fingerprint-button-t3425403
Hello .
I'm using ressurection remix 7.1.2 on moto x play lux
When I lock my phone and open camera by swiping the right button or by shaking . Camera app open , in which it doesn't have back button so that I can check back on screen , or close it . The back button is missing when I open camera in locked state ,
I'm using snap camera
Had this problem with other camera too .
I have re-lock the phone and wait for 5 second to get back my lock screen .
Any help ?
Thanks in advance
I know it's a stupid question, but ave you tried swiping the bottom of the screen up to bring navbar?

Yes I have tried everything .
Working as intended, it seems. As you said it yourself, you're opening the camera while the phone is in a locked state. That's a security measure. Just unlock your phone and open the camera app if you want the navbar buttons.
Hi all of you
I got rooted exynos note4... i need fingerprint app for my lock screen. Which one do you prefer? And why.. it can be not only for lockscreen
I am running a Note 7 port on my Note 4 and I use AppLock.
I do not use it's lockscreen feature (it does have it included) because I think the Note 4's fingerprint reader is not well suited for unlocking the phone (IMO, because it can be tricky to unlock when handling the phone with one hand)
Instead, I have my lockscreen set to "swipe" so I can do basic stuff like switch the volume or turn toggles on and off at will, as well as double tapping the home button to open the camera from screen off phone.
I have most apps locked behind my fingerprint reader, that way nobody can open any app and a fingerprint lockscreen doesn't get in the way when I just want to mess with the volume or some basic stuff.
Applock also has a feature that it will only ask for your fingerprint once per unlock (until you turn your screen off), so that way you don't have to swipe your finger every single time you open an app (PRO version, not expensive at all)
Another reason that 3rd party lockscreens aren't that great are because:
1. Not all of them will allow you to use the screen off memo, I think Hi Unlocker doesn't let you use the screen off memo unless you unlock it with fingerprint, which can get annoying
2. There is no 3rd party lockscreen (to my knowledge) that will allow you to double tap home to open the camera app. All of them WILL require you to unlock it with the finger-print or turn the screen on and then swipe the camera shortcut. To me, this is a deal breaker since I take a lot of photos, most of the time to things that happen pretty fast and losing a couple of seconds to unlock the phone and/or swipe the camera option builds up and gets annoying.
But overall, the most used (that I've seen) is AppLock and Hi Unlocker.
Good luck, both are free to try anyway so I'd test them both to see which is to your liking
