Double tap home button to go to the camera and then press home button again and you unlocked the phone.
What the hell?
Didn't Samsung thought of this through?
Whoops just realised it locks after 5 seconds.

I have a pattern lock on my phone, and I was wondering if there was a way to set the lock screen so when I press the home button the pattern view shows.
The way that I would like this to work is as follows:
I pick my phone up and wake it up in my preferred way (double click home button), I then check to see if I have any notifications, if so I double click and interact that way, but if not, again press the home button to show the 9 dots and allow me to put my pattern in.
Is this a possibility, I'm currently running CM13.
Thanks

Already drives me crazy. About 10% of all times when I tried to simply lock or unlock phone (without double press for camera) — camera launches with long vibration. Appeared about a week ago. Stock Android 6.0.1, latest camera app.
Derped power button. Use volume button to unlock or go to service center to get it fixed.
P.S Have the same problem. I use volume button
Remember iPhone 4 and update who enabled multitasking double pressing home button. That update made some home buttons to die faster, cuz they werent made for fast double tap.
Same for Nexus 5. This will kill your power button fast. Mine is dead too. Using dt2w and a navbar button to goto sleep.
Stop using that feature, it kill power button.
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?
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.

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!
Hello.
After using the phone for some hours, the "tap to wake" cover screen doesn't wake the screen.
Neither do the double press on the side button for taking a picture..
Notifications and calls show up like normal.
Is this just me or?
Did you remap tye side key? Are you using Bixby? Is aod enabled? Did you try a restart?
Did not remap key, double press is photo, hold down is turn off. Bixby sucks, so no. Aod is enabled but not on the front screen. Restart solves the problem, but it has happened 2 days in a row now.
