The screen timeout modes only let you set various timeouts... but I'd like to have an easy way to make the screen stay always-on for when I'm in the car. It works all right for GPS apps because they force it, but google music still turns off

there are other ways to do it, but I use the app "My Settings Pro" to set the screen timeout to never, works perfectly.
Does it give you a way to do it as a quick toggle? Like I said, I don't want this always... just when I'm in the car.. and even so... something automated would be nice.

I made a dock shortcut to open the app with one click.
The app gives a screen with a bunch of toggles for settings: ringer mode>screen brightness>lock screen on/off>WiFi on/off>GPS on/off>Bluetooth on/off>AutoSync on/off>auto rotate on/off>screen timeout>Airplane Mode on/off>network mode etc.etc.etc.
I have used it in my last 4 phones, it is one of the first apps I always install after a ROM flash.
Another way would be to use widgetsoid and a screen timeout toggle to accomplish this. You can make it toggle pretty much any settings you want.

Yes, I have done it that way also.
WidgetSoid is a handy app also.

That option doesn't seem to work at times (that's why I didn't mention it)
Mine will still go out with that option selected at times.
That screen awake option seems to work for me.

Dear all,
I know some smartphones can wake up by just touch the finger scan sensor.
So anyone in our family know how to do this on S6 ?
Hope some guys know or can do it
I have the same question

i believe that function would cause your phone battery to drain dramatically? but just pressing the home button with your saved finger print will wakeup/unlock your phone, which i think is good enough already

Hi Locker. It's an app on Play store that lets you do exactly what you guys want to do.

Emm, I have greenify and I am able to greenify system apps after purchasing the donation package and getting xposed, peraphs an app called fingerprint is running in background constantly, so I think it will not matter..

Yes. I used it myself. Go play store, install the app hi locker. Check security setting in the app, enable fingerprint. Then set the time duration for how long you want the fingerprint to be awake.

Would it be possible to add this feature with xposed or just root? No developers are actually working on this?

Its easier to just press the home button as @zincsnow said. This will eat battery life since the S6 only has a 2700mah battery.

is any way to wake phone by touch home button? mentioned earlier google play application is not available anymore?
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.

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.

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
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!

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
Has anyone else got this bug? After locking the phone, the screen will stay active (even though the display is off) for around a second.
I've noticed the fingerprint icon flashes once after a second at the same time.
It's quite annoying if like me, you lock it and immediately shove it into your pocket within a second, as I sometimes unlock it to find I'm in an email or an app I didn't remember being in.

Yeah, but you need to be quite quick to trigger something on the screen. I tried to do it on purpose and I can replicate the issue 9 out of 10 times )).
Hoping for a fix in the next update.
This is getting worse. Screen stays active around 3 seconds after locking it. I can see there is a quick refresh of the lock screen when it's really locked. It's really annoying now as I feel like I need to wait for this until I can safely put it in my pocket.
this doesn't happen when using nova launcher's gestures (double tap => lock screen). maybe works with an 3rd party app from playstore too, or custom kernel with double tap to sleep or some magisk mod?

What lock method do you use in Nova? Accessibility, Device Admin, or root?
ouch, now you got me... I think it was accessibility. I took the one which enabled fingerprint usage after locking via nova gesture. I think it was accessibility, jep
edit: had time to look at phone now, it's accessibility

Okay. accessibility or root. I still get that delay after locking, even with Nova double tap. It's just one blink a couple seconds after locking. I notice the clock blink once. Honestly, I wouldn't have even noticed it had it not been posted here..
