How to unlock screen without having to press the power button? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

is there any way to unlock the phone without pressing the power button or double tap to wake? it's like just rest your finger in the sensor and the screen unlocks.

This behaviour is currently in HaoZeke's LineageOS. I'm looking for a way to disable it since it will unlock my phone while putting it in my pocket... Wanna trade ?

I use a xposed module for that, [LL-MM]Enable Ambient Display - Xposed. Just install it and enable the option Activate doze with proximity sensor.
When you get the mobile out of your pocket, will turn on the display and it would be ready to use the FP reader.

That would drain the battery. Is there any way without ambient display?

It doesn't cause battery drain, my battery duration is almost the same with that module enabled.

Disable wake on charger plugged in?

Has anyone managed to disable screen wake when plugged in or wirelessly? Any ideas would be great.
Xposed or not.....
Thanks
I know xposed has it. Not sure but think it is in wanam
I.D.F.W.Y.
Use the System Lock action (under Display) in Tasker when charging. I use this without issue
Look in developer options... are you talking about this option?
If the toggle is off, the screen doesn't stay awake when charging.
EDIT: NEVERMIND I MISUNDERSTOOD THE ORIGINAL QUESTION. The toggle below doesn't control what you are asking about.

[APP][5.0+][AmbientDisplay]Handwave / Pocket Mode for Ambient Display

Hi, I made this app as a fork of the Xposed Enable Ambient Display app, because it would not work on my phone (which already has ambient display enabled, but not the handwave / proximity gesture)
The app when installed, and the service activated, will bring up the black screen that is used to peek at notifications (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/D...isplay/master/screenshots/ambient-display.png) when you wave at the proximity sensor, or take it out from your pocket.

Cheers!
There's no way of enabling this for samsung phones?

Very interesting. Only one question: and about the battery? Consumption is high?

Well, for starters, your kernel has to support it, I believe. I am not very sure - I don't delve into the realm of hardware.
On my device, it was enabled after this commit was merged : http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/119408/
On some devices, this module might work http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.dvd.android.xposed.enableambientdisplay - it did not work on mine, but worked on my roommate's device - this module would actually disable ambient display on my phone for some reason, so I have made a standalone app from the service in it.

In all, likelihood, yes. It will be high.
Wish this worked on nexus 5x. You ever think about making it a XPOSED module? I think lots of people would find it useful.

Your app is a life saver for people who need it, especially now that xposed is not available for nougat. Just awesome.:good::good::good:

Request "Knock On" app to turn on display (similar to LG devices)

Hello! I'm searching for an app that allows me to wake up the GS7's display through "knock on" mode like LG's device.
On playstore there are so many apps that allow us, through double tap, to turn on the screen and unlock the device directly . I don't search this type of apps because they unlock the lockscreen directly, so they are incompatible with the stock fingerprint lockscreen . I would therefore like to know if there is an app that, using the double tap, simply allows to turn on the GS7's display on the lockscreen of that, allowing us, then, to unlock the phone normally with our fingerprint .
Thank you very much for helping.
RIP battery life though lol

In Settings, Accessibility > Dexterity & Interaction > Easy screen on > switch on.
It's not double tap, but uses the proximity sensor to turn screen on by waving an object or your hand over it.
Since it's a built-in option, it uses only 1-2% battery life.
Works for me

There must be one! I'm not rooted. So I don't know if it works..
If the fingerprint reader doesn't consume much energy I would love a tap to wake for it. I guess the nexus 6p does this?
You are looking for a feature that hardware must support it and needs kernel level development.
Any software solution you find to do it is gonna need a constant wakelock and definitely is going to kill your battery in a few hours.

thanks for that tip :good:
Try glance plus in Play store. You can set it to double tap to wake or even using fingerprint to unlock. The best app IMO.

[Request] Lift to Face Unlock

Face unlock currently requires a double tap, which is annoying because it doesn't work half the time
Even though they are trying to fix this in the next update, a better implementation would be when you raise the phone, it shows the lock screen (not ambient display screen), and simultaneously turns on the front camera to face unlock your phone
Gravity screen can do this, but requires a heavy wakelock to do so. Using the same 'raise to wake' method as ambient display [which seems to work without a heavy wakelock], but then showing the lock screen instead of ambient display, should achieve this
I would LOVE this feature, it would be a complete game changer!!
I use gravity screen and don't lose much battery
Use the power button since it's more reliable anyways ?

There's still a fair amount of battery loss. Oneplus raise to wake seems to be able to do the same action without any battery loss
This was so fine on Op5 and 5T. Open Beta, of course!
Update: I've installed the wave up app. It basically wakes the phone when proximity sensor is uncovered
So when I take the phone out of my pocket, it authenticates my face automatically and unlocks, in a split second. I don't need to touch anything
Similarly if I keep my phone face down on a desk (not ideal), when I flip it over to look at it, it unlocks.
No messing around with d2tw which is more like quadruple tap to wake since this functionality is broken

Hi i use the original flip case from OP and as soon as i open my case door it unlocks witch is very easy and convenient.
Shall check with tasker.
Update: could not succeed.
I face no trouble in dt2w it wakes as it's intended to and unlocks with face within a split second, face unlock has become slower since the 5.1.9 and in dp3 but still fast enough
If my hand is dirty i just say Hey or Ok google.
Agree. it would be a great thing

Screen activation

I'm new to MIUI. For the love of god, can someone tell me how to stop the screen seemingly turning on at random when I move the phone? Wake on lift is off.

That should of sorted it.
Only other ways to wake the screen would be DT2W, and notifications.

Thanks. It's not the only problem I've found so far with 10.0.8.0. Can I safely update without affecting the unlock countdown which I've already started?

Yeah for some reason the double tap is super sensitive and will wake the screen in ur pocket too. I've had to disable both and then I don't have an issue. I also don't use ambient display or wake screen for notification

I have DT2W and RTW both turned off, and the thing is still waking up every time I breathe near it.
It appears to be the fingerprint sensor, the slightest of touches is enough to turn on the screen, even though I don't have a screen lock on.
