Using face recognition while phone is locked (Or on AOD mode) - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hey guys!
I was using my friends LG g6 and his phone unlocks with face recognition while the phone is on ADD mode.
You don't have to tap the screen or anything, just look at it.
Is there a way to do the same on the S8?
Thanks in advance!

[HOWTO] Disable double tap to wake/unlock LG G3

Hello folks! For those who want to disable the option "double tap to wake/unlock" on LG g3 for any reason, in my situation the phone ever got the screen on when I accidentally tap the screen, that was draining my battery, now I found an app that can disable this option. It's called "Any Cut" you can find it in play store for free, create a shortcut for the "Knock On" apk and there you can disable this option. (But it still working if you use knock code to unlock).
Why not use a knock code. 4 knocks to unlock, my phone never comes on by itself not once.

I love knock code but in my case is kind of annoying. Ever a accidentally touch the screen, it comes on. Also using knock code when I take it out of my pocket it's asking me for recovery password.This is for those who want to disable this. Like me.

for me this works only for double tap to sleep. the double tap to wake still remains on and it doesn't help me to much.
also i use a quick circle case and it constantly wakes in my pocket and i really want to deactivate this and i don't know how

normally i use knock code unlock but i tried also your method. the problem is when i use the quickcircle case. if the case is opened, the double tap feature is disabled for both turning on and turning off the phone. if the flip is closed, i can still turn on the phone with double tap.
i am desperate to solve this. my battery is killing me due to this

Well, I think the problem is with the quick circle case, it works with a magnetic point that auto-activate the double tap to unlock. It's the same case as if you use knock code, double tap activate itself and for now I haven't found a solution if you are using the circle case. But even you don't double tap the circle the screen turns on?

Dang man. Maybe try and find whatever app uses the Reed switch from the magnet on the cover. And disable it. Or cut the magnet outta the case.
It can be turned off in the hidden menu

It depends in which LG g3 variant are you using. For example; I'm using LG g3 from sprint and my hidden menu isn't very helpful at all. Only show few options...
Sent from my LGLS990
Try the app gravity screen. I used it on my s4 when I was having the same issue you are. It helped big-time.
you're an angel!!!
My bf was going nuts over this and I cant seem to find a solution until now. He's so annoyed that he was willing to downgrade to any phone the very next day after getting it. Lol. I've tried the hidden menu but only showed me 3 (Verizon). Thanks!!
I on the other hand will keep the knock on enabled on my M8. ??

Double tap to wake?

I have the exynos variant. Is it possible to enable double tap to wake the device?
Need this too. Had LG devices for the last year, had double tap to wake sleep too.

I *think* it needs to be a ROM enabled feature.
Only available with a 3rd party AOD app

Which app do you recommend? With very very low battery usage.
I came from an LG and I miss so much the double tap to wake and to sleep..

I wouldn't use any as I prefer the standard AOD.
However, you could try this one...

I use Nova Prime and have double-tap to sleep, but yeah, the dt2wake is the absent feature that is needed. Every time I pick up my wife's G4 I think about how nice that feature is!
I honestly thought I would miss this feature having used it for 3 years but the home button press is just as easy for me.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.knockz You might want to try knock on from playstore. But AFAIK any solution even a kernel solution will significantly drain your battery. AFAIK the devices hardware needs to be optimized for that feature allowing the digitizer to stay activ in a low powermode ( LG,Sony, etc). Anyone please correct me or add more details. Imo pressing the home isn't that bad. It's a question of habit.
Wake up screen
Hi guys,
Sorry for my bad English.
Here is what you need to do for waking up screen on S7
edge, in order to not to press the home button, or
power button.
You jus simply swipe the edge screen, and the message
With steps and notifications will appear.
When that happens, simply put your finger on home
button. (Touch, not press).
And the device will unlock. I think is the most
convenient way to do that. Not Nova, not rooted.
I hope I make myself understand here.
Have a nice day.
All kinds of stupid suggestions here. Just press the home button once and keep your finger touching the button until it reads the fingerprint. Probably as fast as double tap to wake but your device is also secured.
Double tap to wake is a feature that needs to be enabled programmatically at kernel level and the hardware must support it.
Galaxy S7 does not have this feature, at least at kernel level.
Any application that you install that enables double tap to wake is going to make a partial wake lock. It means that your phone is never going to deep sleep and it will drain battery very fast. You have to choose what you want most.

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).

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?

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?

Q: Does the G5 Plus have double tap functions

I'm surprised I can't find this in the myriad reviews... Does the G5 Plus have the double tap to wake function (and sleep)? My Moto G3 didn't and since i got it in my LG G4, I can't live without it.
Thanks.

It doesn't but you can turn on screen with fingerprint which is incredibly fast and you can turn off screen by holding the home button

You can also turn off the display using the fingerprint if you disable the on screen buttons and use the fingerprint as "one button nav" in the "Moto" app.

Awesome, thanks for the quick responses! This brings up one more question, if you will indulge me...
Does this mean (long press home to shut screen off /lock) that you can't long press home for Google now / Google Assistant?
Thanks again for your help.

Long pressing the FP sensor for 2 secs will give you a small vibration after which if you remove finger will turn off screen, if you keep your finger longer on the FP sensor -> Google Assistant!

Face Unlock

Hi Devs,
Is the there a way the phone will unlock automatically using face detection. I have set the face unlock but I have slide after the face unlock removes the lock to go to home screen. Is there a way the face unlock can work like one plus.

You don't need any Xposed or Magisk Module. Flash a ROM that supports it by default. AOSPExtended, for an example.
If not rooted use autoinput and trusted face
