I was sure I'd read somewhere on XDA or seen a video on Youtube about hiding the Home button on the AOD to reduce the risk of burn-in. I was sure it said the button was still operative, just hidden. However, when I remove it in Settings, the button does not work. Is my memory playing tricks? If you turn off the Home Button under AOD settings, does it still work?
It doesn't burn in.

Yes it works
Yes, it does work, you just have to press the right spot.
And no, it shouldn't burn in, as it moves a tiny bit from time to time like the AOD.

Hey, did anyone found solution... is it possible to tweak settings somehow so that display turns on by pushing home button? Or do I really have to push power button every time?
I know of volume button tweak, but.. that one is no good (volume settings gets displayed)... Any other ideas, suggestions? (other than "pull the stylus")
Thanks!
Try AE Button Plus. You can customize a lot of buttons. I didn't tried what you asked, but it worth a try.
Anyway, take care using it.
I would say not. There appears to be no power to these lower buttons while in standby, so no software could work?

No, for the reasons given.
BUT... you could use MobileMagic to toggle the screen on/off when device is turned face down. That way when you turn it face down, screen goes off and buttons are locked. To turn it back on, turn devicedevice face down again.
You do need to go to Start-Settings-System-Power-Advanced and untick the option, "Turn off device if not used for", because if the device gets turned off (instead of just screen off) it won't respond.
I have it set to turn screen off on reverse portrait too,
so it turns off automatically when I put it in my pocket.
Im also afraid for that power button... used it a lot on my diamond so it got bricked, its so gentle... Im using it as much as little possible now on mine HD for that reason.
I have s2u2 unlock on stylus out, so I pull out the stylus, the HD comes on and unlocks. It's so simple.

Do you find this has any impact on battery life? If i'm right, this just turns off the screen but does not put the device to sleep?

That's not possible for the simple reason that the buttons below the screen are part and parcel of the touch screen, so if the screen is off, they won't work.

That is correct.
Power consumption, in this case, depends on what applications are left running. GPS, streaming video, etc would be a bad idea to leave running. But more workday apps use very little juice when the huge power drain of the screen is turned off.

Nope... I've tried that app. Its great for locking down the normal WM hardware buttons, but it doesn't have the HTC bespoke "Home button" on the list of configurable buttons.
ok. before i received my s7e, i saw on some tips and tricks vid, that you can change having to push the home button down, to get to the fingerprint unlock, to just touching the home button, and the fingerprint unlock will kick in. but now that i've got my s7e, i have watched at least twenty vids, and haven't found it again. a google search turned up nothing. so, does anyone know how to do this? if so, can you direct me to the instructions, or just outline it?
Simple answer you must press the button first
How many threads to you plan on starting with simple questions that can be found all over the forum?
Sent from my Star-Tac
If the screen is ON, but locked, you don't need to press the button. But for the fingerprint reader to work the screen must be on, so you either need to press the home button or the power button first.
Protip: Or press and hold at same time and it's one fluid motion.

first, m3ddog, the whole idea is NOT to have to press the home button, but to just touch it. second, brava27, i have searched through out the board, and have not found a single answer to this. what i have found is people misunderstanding this, like the other quotes on here. so if you have nothing substantive to add, stfu! lastly, meyerweb, the whole point is that the screen is OFF. i said when the screen is off, or only the "always on" feature is showing, there is an app, which turns the home button into a capacitive button, so you can just touch it to launch the lockscreen, instead of depressing it. that is the entire reason for the thread, to get to the lockscreen where i can use my fingerprint, without having to acutally depress the home button. hope that clears it all up.

Can I ask why you are so against pressing the home button? Is yours defective? Are you trying to avoid wear & tear?
There is a solution of sorts.. install gravity screen pro, which turns on your screen when you pick up your phone.. then you just touch your finger to the fingerprint reader and wala
Stevea, I perfectly understood what you're asking for. It doesn't exist. I told you how it works, and the only way it works. Sorry you don't like the answer, but those are the facts.

yeah, the whole idea is past experiences with wear and tear of home buttons being pressed so much they fail. and my problem with your other solution, if i am right, is that the sensors are always on, looking for you to pick up your device, which kills battery life. if i'm wrong about this, please correct me, however. the other thing is i saw it in a tips and tricks video, and it worked perfectly for the reviewer. but now i can't find that video, and didn't write down what it was. but i might try your gravity screen pro. thanks for the tip.

meyerweb, you obviously didn't understand perfectly well what i said, because i said that i saw a video, where the reviewer DID use this technique to get to the lock screen several times, so it obviously DOES exist. just because it doesn't come into contact with your little world, does not mean it doesn't exist.
I suspect that the video you saw wasn't actually showing what you think it was. Which is why you can't find it again.
After giving up on trying to enable soft nav buttons without root. I started searching for similar funcationality.. ie use the finger print scanner as a capacitive button.. stumbled across this.. I think this might interest you.. There's an app call easyhome https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.easyhome&hl=en
It doesnt work from the lockscreen, but if you use the power button to turn on, then with this app you could essentially never press the home button.. It seems to work pretty well from my 5 minute look..

yes, because it's much more likely that i looked right at something, watched it happen, and somehow my vision misinformed me, rather than you just be wrong. seriously man, your powers of deduction suck! i don't need any more input from you, as you've added nothing positive to the thread. find something else to do with your time.

Enable 'easy screen turn on' and you can bring the screen up, and unlock it with fingerprint, without any button clicking at all.

try easyHome for Samung. It does what u want
You can use the following to turn on the screen and use fingerprint scanner without pressing the home/power button.
1. Open the Settings application and go to the Accessibility settings
2. Tap to open the Dexterity and Interaction settings
3. Touch the Easy Screen Turn On option and make sure it is toggled ON. (If you want to disable the Wave to Turn On Screen feature on Galaxy S7, make sure to toggle it OFF)
I am looking for an app to turn off the screen without lock the phone. There are a millons of app tu turn off & lock, i need simply no lock.
There are any app to do that?
Thanks!

All the ways I know of require root. I'll spew out the ways I know of in case you have root: I am using a double tap Nova launcher gesture to turn off screen without locking. Greenify has an option. Pure Nexus has a double tap on navbar feature. Resurrection Remix I programmed long press of home button to turn off screen. I believe double tapping the statusbar might turn the screen off even stock? Not sure about that one.
I feel the power button soft, i allways had problems with nexus' power buttons. But i dont want to root the 6p...

Does double tapping the statusbar turn off the screen when stock? Maybe that's an option under settings>display? I wasn't on stock for long, so can't remember. That's my only non-root idea.
If no solution is found, why not just turn the turn off display to 30 seconds?

Two observations that you might find helpful/interesting:
When using AOD, you can always press firmly where the home button is to get to your homescreen or security, regardless of whether the home button is showing or not. But, you can lightly double-tap to wake the phone *only* when the home button is showing. Interesting.
I purchased these Anker cables and they work great for fast-charging. Same mA showing on Ampere as the stock cable. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A6F8IUM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You can long press where the button would be on a fully blacked out screen with aod off too and screen comes on

Yea, but that option says "Hard press the Home button while the screen is off to skip the Lock screen."
The person above said "long press" when the screen is off. I see no option for that anywhere.
Also, even if that option is turned to "off," you can *still* hard press the home button any time AOD is on.

Mine took the hard or long press option from the beginning. I don't recall changing anything in the settings but I do find that if I'm not pressing in just the right place, some times it won't wake up.
I am facing this problem since tomorrow in my oneplus 5, after using my device for some time my navigation keys doesn't work anymore. I have to use software nav buttons to navigate accross system and the home button only functions when i require to input my finger print(like unlocking device or in app locker).
After doing a reboot the navigation keys function properly but after sometime the problem again starts.
!!None of the hardware buttons are working(navigation keys, volume buttons), except the power button and alwrt slider if that counts!!
The keypad test(in the list of factory tests in*#808#) was past, as i have mentioned after reboot everything works fine. The problem appears after the device hasn't been used for some time. Then if i do keypad teat on pressing navigation and volume buttons nothing happens, same happens for powwr button too although it works fine. Alert slider passes the test and works perfectly too.
!!No the phone hasn't got any physical or water damage.!!
My best guess is that i was playing with some settings action in secure settings plug in for tasker that might have caused this but i don't know which one caused this as i was playing with settings related with display and sound. See if this is any help.
Yesterday night i rebooted and everything was working fine and i locked the phone and slept. In morning my battery was below 10% and battery saver mode was activated. When i tried to use everything was working fine untill I plugged the phone in and the hardware buttons stopped working then after charging i tried to enable battery saver mode to see if the buttons work again but they didn't.
Please help with this and i have done cache cleaning please post something useful.
Factory Reset/Clean Install. This is the only advice that makes any sense.

You can try to just dirty flash the rom within twrp. But I recommend to make backups before.
