i dunno if any of you notice this. when you press the right most button, with the red end call key, the phone goes into standby, but did not go into lockscreen. when you press any button, the screen lights up in home screen and the next second the lock screen kicks in.
i am wondering is it possible to tweak and make it such that when u press the button, the screen will go into lockscreen first before the screen blackout. i guess we can't have the screen blackout and going into lockscreen together since going into standby, app wouldn't run either.
Just that i prefer to lockscreen first rather than when i wake it up, it goes into lockscreen and i have to unlock it.
That will depend on the ROM. At least on the HD2 this will happen if you disable automatic backlight. Did you do that?
Hit start and then hit lock on the bottom left.

is there a program or something that I can lock the screen with one finger,
to lock the screen I have to hit the White button and the End button at the same time..
I tried hitting the white button twice and trhen the End and it does not work.
is there a program that I could just use to hold the "OK" button or something like that.
ideas, ??
thx

If you set keyguard to "when power is turnoff"
Then when you push the red button (end) the screen will go black, with keygaurd on - Locked.
Is that what you want.
well.. not really..
the reason i want to be able to lock the phone wile in a phone call. the red button will hang up the call.. so what I do is hit the Solid white button and then the Red button, thats fine, but its hard to do when on a call.. and I don't want to disable the touch screen when on a call because sometimes with my BT Headset I use it. and it can't be re-enabled .. (if there is a way I would love to know about it)
thanks.

hi
i had a question re locking and unlocking the screen. At the moment i press power button to lock the screen. then to unlock i press power button to wake up the screen and then move the onscreen ring to unlock the phone.
My previous phone was xperia arc s and had three hard buttons on the bottom which i would press to wake up the screen. I quite miss that, especially for unlocking the phone.
any alternatives other than to always keep the screen awake!
ta
"Screen off and lock" for turning it off. Works very good.
For turning it on I've seen a few apps that use the proximity sensor (i.e. put the phone with the screen against the table and it switches off, pick it up and it switches on). Not a great battery drain, but I don't know if leaving the proximity sensor always on could damage it...
Some ROMs have a setting for waking the screen with the volume rocker, and there are also a couple of kernels that have "sweep to wake". Thats where you sweep your finger across the soft keys at the bottom of the phone, from one side to the other. Other than those two thing thats about it for alternative ways to wake the screen.
Hello All. I just enabled the function to unlock the phone by hard pressing the home button under Settings- Display- Navigation Bar. I find that this only works if your screen timed out and not if you shut the display off with power button on side. Is this working as it should or do you see this as a bug? Personally I think it should unlock with a home button hard press no matter what. Thanks.
Mine goes to unlock every time. Iris/Face Recog or pattern....
I am using no security, just swipe to unlock.
I do think that that is a bug, I'm using the hard press to unlock feature without security too, and the hard press works even after locking the screen manually.
Screen timeout and screen lock have to different settings.
So if you screen times out at 30sec
But the lock kicks in at 1min.
Then your be able to simple press the home button and go right back into the home menu after the 30sec but before the 1min mark.
If you press the power button it normally auto locks.
Meaning you cant press the home button to launch into the home screen.
Now this is all if you have no Security on.
I had the exact same issue as you did after I installed Samsung Oreo Beta Program. Then I found out that for some reason that the option got turned off. So you might want to double check and see if it is still enabled. To do this, do the following two things below:
1. Enable Unlock with Home Button
• Settings
• Display
• Navigation Bar
• Buttons
• Unlock with Home Button
*Then make sure Unlock with Home Button is enabled*
2. Then I would double check your phones Lock Screen & Security by doing the following:
• Settings
• Lock screen and security
• Screen Lock type
*Make sure Swipe is enabled*
Worst 8+ option...
1. Home button on AOD is disabled.
2. Unlock with home button (hard press to unlock) is disabled.
Still, hard press on home button area on lock screen (AOD), unlock the phone?!
Does anyone have a clue how to disable this crappy option?
Is there any way to disable the home button on the lock screen? I can make it not show up but pressing where it was still wakes the phone up.
Would also like to know this.
I updated to the latest software version yesterday and since then when the screen is off and I long press the home button to turn it on it redirects me to the pattern unlock instead of showing me the lock screen with the time and notifications. Is a bit annoying as I pressed the home button before just to see the time or if I had new notifications and now I can't.
I have searched through the options but haven't seen anything.
Is there anyway to make it turn the screen on to the lock screen instead of the pattern input?
Turn off long press home button to unlock.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That was it! I saw the option but I thought I had to let it be turned on so long pressing the home button actually worked.
Thanks!
