Avoid power button problems with LockScreen

As we can unlock our Nexus 5X with our fingerprint in a comfortable way, I think LockScreen is also great to lock the device from a (material design adapted) widget. And you can also use transparent widgets!
You can download it from Google Play (it's free!).
I've developed this app so, please, any feedback is welcome!
Best regards!

Doesn't work correctly on the 5X, once you have locked using the widget, you are then unable to unlock again with the fingerprint reader, you have to then use the keypad, that defeats the object of having a fingerprint sensor.

Awwww. What a shame. Would have been a good a good interim feature until we got a DT2W and the like

Personally I lock my screen by setting double tap in nova launcher to do the hibernate and lock screen feature from greenify. Fingerprint still unlocks the phone without using the keypad

I'm pretty sure it does not... same issue with this.
Unless you create a widget that activate a root task to lock the screen, it will ask for the keypad.

I use nova launcher's gesture control to also launch Greenify's Hibernate and Lock Screen. Which works as intended... Fingerprint scanner unlocks device. Maybe im missing something in what you are saying.

Just tested it already too, does not work for me.
And it seems to be a known issue since 2 others thread are talking about it already
Maybe there's something you guys have done differently that make this work but I've done this :
1/ setting double tap on home screen with nova launcher to launch Greenify's Hibernate and Lock screen
2/ once device locked and screen turned off, puting my finger on the fingerprint. It does wake the phone but asks for the pin code which does not when you lock the phone with the hardware power button
And it's the same behavior with other launchers and apps that can turn off the screen

The only thing i have done is root the phone no other system modifications have been made on my device i am still encrypted, no custom lock screen or any of that business.

All I've done is root my phone and given greenify root access.

I've removed encryption, maybe that's the thing that's triggering this behavior

Can't unlock by fingerprint once locked by your app.

Same here - been looking for this feature and still havent found it - not interesting in root either and losing all the functions that go away with that.

Any solutions yet? Not rooted.

Any app that locks the screen, fingerprints doesn't work afterwards. It's not just this app.
Same thing happens when using Screen Off app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.matthijsvh.screenoff

mine is rooted and i use greenify "lockscreen+hibernate" widget without a problem

active display

Anyone using any third party apps yet to do more with the AMOLED around active display like on moto or Samsung

All the applications i have found seem to do this. You have to make the application a device administrator for it to work but because the application is controlling the lock, the fingerprint doesnt work and it forces you to enter the pattern. I am coming from a moto and really miss the breathing notifications.

I use this at night but I don't really want the screen on all day, if this had a "breathing" function it would be nice. Hoping google releases an update to change the ambient display.

That's what I'm asking. There are a bunch of apps meant for this. Trying to see what people have success with

Bump....

Using Notific Pro without administrator permissions, only enabled notification access on the overview screen of the app. Works pretty well for me...

Cannot use fingerprint to unlock after using screen off app

Hi there,
I tried to use screen off apps on my SS S8, but when unlocking, it requested PIN numbers instead of using the fingerprint.
The fingerprint only works if we lock screen using the physical button or after timeout.
Do you happen to know any workaround for this?
I read a thread on S7, suggesting using Nova launcher with Screen Lock widget. But, is there any setting we can change to use other apps?
Many thanks,
Nghia

That's general security setting of Android. Happens to me on my OnePlus 3 when it's locked by Greenify. Simply ditch those lock screen apps.

hello,
it is a know issue, try Double Tap to Turn Off, will solve this problem, I am using it and I can use iris, fingerprint, face and of course PIN.

I use nova launcher plus lock screen to double tap gesture. Works fine.

How do u set it up in Nova?
Figured it out, nevermind. At first I thought it was built into Nova, but found the app and set it up. Thx

I was wondering if there are other apps can fix this as well.
Many thanks!

Played around with that app a little more, you actually need to enable that "show clear view" option, what it does is it would show the time on the screen for about one second before showing the AOD screen.

Use "softkey edge" which is a edge app works perfect. U can use iris or fingerprint after lock the phone using this edge app. Also it do not use device admin access..
You can download from galaxy apps and not avail in play store

Do you have a link to this app?

This one works for me:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gr.ictpro.jsalatas.screenoff

I tried those other ones and did not have luck.. either the app did allow fingerprint but did not turn the screen off in a reliable way.. or they required pin / password to unlock..
but just found this one and it works so far!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redmanit.lockscreen

If this is still a question for anyone:
With nova launcher, you need to give it accessebility permission and choose in the nova settings to use a different lock screen method
The setting can be found in the nova settings by scrolling all the way down and choosing the last option in the advanced settings... Each option has an explanation for how it lockes the screen

Working AOD with all Feature that you want for P20 PRO

Text on Phone: If you love your life as much as I love my phone, leave it lying.

These apps generally won't allow the phone to go into sleep states, though. How has your battery been since using it?

The battery drains quickly!

Yes. But for now the best AOD solution on this phone.

I think there is a reason why Huawei has made the AOD so simple... Weather, Show Second at the clock or Show App News use power The Problem is not only the Display
You have to deal with that and there are Options to have it only on when you need

my only grunge with the default AOD is that it doesn't even show notification, i'll still have to wake my device to get the notifications

You can set your phone to wake on lockscreen if you get a notification. I use it and works great.

but i usually leave my phone on vibrate only and keep it at a side when i'm working, so i wouldn't notice if the phone just wake up for a brief few sec, it would have been great if the notification is on the AOD, that way, i can see what notification i have, when i'm free without waking up the device

Been using glance plus since mate9.
Remember to set your p20 pro to not sleep or 30 min as to not allow phone to lock so you avoid stock lock screen
I've had very little battery drain

Call confirm app?

Hello all,
on my Xiaomi Mi Max I used an app which required an extra "ok" to make a phone call.
This allowed me to avoid calls made by mistake, pocket dialing etc.
I tried several apps on the 1+6 which should provide this feature - but none of them work.
Would anyone know of such an app - which works on the 1+6?
Thank you all

Put some old simcard in second slot. You'll get prompt which sim card to use everytime you make a call

Yes, thank you. That should work - but it also should reduce the battery life as now both radios in the phone work. Or not?
I am hoping to find an app - there are many in the play store but so for none of them worked on the 1+6 (the same apps work on other phones...)

Sorry - I may be slow, but how will app lock avoid for me to make unintended phone calls?

Why don't you use a lock screen? if you need to unlock by PIN, finger print etc. each time the screen is turned on, nothing bad can happen at all.

I have several times dialed people (while using the phone for other apps) by mistake. I would like to avoid that.
Hence the need for an app. It seems no one has one working on the 1+6?

Yes because it will ask for a pin or fingerprint or whatever you have set if you open up the phone app/dialer
