Is it possible to get the phone to go straight to the screen with the pattern lock instead of having to swipe up beforehand?
There's an Xposed module that does it
I noticed that if I press the home button to wake up the phone, it'll go straight to the pattern unlock screen.

By default, when I place a call I have the touchscreen locked.
How do I unlock the screen?
Simply touching the "unlock" button does not unlock the screen.
I know it is possible to change the default behaviour to have the screen unlocked during the call but I do not like this setup.
I struggled with this as well, and then looked it up in the online manual, the only way to unlock it is with the D-pad, the silver circle with the Palm logo in it. Navigate with that button to the unlock button and then hit the Palm logo, it will unlock screen and buttons. There is a setting in the Keyguard application (start-settings-keyguard) that lets you change this, simply remove the checkmark and the screen will not lock again.
Hi, is there a way or an app I can use to trigger the device lock manually? I don't mean the simple lock where the screen is disabled. I want the windows lock screen with the password. I set the device to lock after 1 hour of inactivity but I want a way to manually trigger it anytime.
You can use the lockscreen app here and set to lock on Suspend. Then pushing the power button will lock.
Alternatively, you can set the Call End key to activate the lock, so a long press on End will also lock the device. Go to Settings\Personal\Buttons and go the End Key tab and choose appropriate setting.
Thanks for the reply. I tried the End Key but it only works if you disable the auto-lock when inactive setting. And when it works, it only does a screen lock without the PIN entry. I would like to lock the screen with the pin entry
How do you make the home screen automatically lock so when you press the power button a fingerprint shows on the bottom of the screen so you have to either use your fingerprint or swipe up on the screen and put in a pattern to open the phone?

Settings > Security > More lockscreen settings
I always hate that swipe to enter your pin thingy, always disabled it on my other devices. So stupid to have to double unlock a device.
How can I get rid of it on the S8?
1) You can try going into settings>lock screen & security and set screen lock type to None.
2) Additionally you can enable Unlock with Home button in display>navigation bar settings and if you just press Home button, it will go to home screen(if you have no lock set)
3) Why not add a fingerprint(s) and just put your finger on it and it will take you directly to home screen.
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!
