I'm sure this has been discussed but I don't know what to search for and can't find it. When I unlock my phone, using any method (swipe left, right, up, down, with or without pushing the power button first) the phone opens to my homescreen instead of whatever app I was using. Sometimes it's cool, other times incredibly annoying. Is there a way to turn that off?

Swiping up works for me. Are you using a custom lock screen?

No, I'm just an idiot. Up works for me too. I don't know what I was doing wrong.

Is there anyway to add click activation to trackball while the phone is locked? Much like the way the "home" button on an iPhone/iPod can be used to activate the screen while locked. Its very useful when taking the phone out of a pocket to check the time/for notifications or just to unlock quickly
Agreed, that would be a bit more convenient than the top low-feedback button.

Damn! Im glad that I am not the only one that was thinking about this. I hate having to press the power button to check time or notifications.
I wish I would be able to know how to make something that works, but even after spending some time around here I still dont know how.
Use "ScreenModeWidget"...enjoy

Thats close, but its not the same function and its not as useful since at the lockscreen if you tap the trackball by accident the screen turns off again This one, doesn't

I have seen the app switcher pop up a couple times while playing with the phone but I can't figure out what I did to access it. Does anyone know the trick?

Is it possible to use the Home button as a capacitive button?
I mean, I would prefer to just touch it instead of pressing it.

Is there also a way to use the fingerprint sensor without "pushing" it before?

replace your stock AOD with this, and this automatically keeps the fingerprint sensor on without any effects on battery life.

For me this is unuseful. Lags and erroneous pressing.
There's a setting to have it go home immediately, instead of waiting to see if you're long-pressing.
The one problem it does have, though, is that it becomes impossible to take a screenshot.

U saved me, tried app several times, always lag, then view ur option to speed up, excellent now. Thanks
I hate that 2 rows of text. "Double tap to blahhh and Long press to blahhh. "
Is there any way to remove it ? Also my smart lick it stupid and won't work. Hmmmm
Edit. Seems I mean the Always on Screen. Oops. Been on IPhone for so long I've become brain dead.

Just tap this text one or twice and it will be gone
I've never seen that text at all. I use Nova, if that makes a difference.

It was there on stock device. I tried to change AOS but it is still there...I hate it...arrgggg
Did you try going into the always on display settings and switching the content to show option from home button and clock or information to clock or information? I did that the first day i had the phone and havent seen than message since. I think it might help avoid the home button burning into the screen since it doesn't move at all.

Hi All,
So I have a very odd issue. I have googled and searched the threads, but I cannot find any mention of the same issue from anyone else. Here is my problem:
When the screen is completely off (I have "Always On" turned off), sometimes when I push the power button the lock screen does not come up. Instead, I can barely make out tiny white text at the very bottom of the display that is half cut off. Obviously I cannot take a screenshot to show you. So I push the power button a couple of times and then it works.
Anybody have a clue what is going on?
Thanks in advance!
Dave

Auto hibernate. Just make a home screen shortcut and tap it B4 u lock your device

I must be an idiot. Can you clarify? That sounds like an annoying extra step to have to tap an app prior to each time I lock my phone. Maybe I'm misunderstanding?
that text is greenify is working sign ..
when you press power button when it's working, you won't get screen wake. Need to wait until it's finished,
or press power once (to stop greenify process) then wait a little while until text disappears.

No it's a hibernate shortcut you don't actually open the app. just tap it and it'll put everything to sleep then just lock your phone. I don't use auto hide unless I have root. On nonrooted phones it takes forever to do it when you go to lock your phone and in my case it would take forever for me to be able to unlock my phone so I find it easier to just tap the shortcut then lock
Note the lil icon in the bottom right. It just puts stuff to sleep, doesn't open the app

I'm also using the hibernate&sleep shortcut widget,
and disable auto hibernate because of this long wait time.
