I had this set to tap on the icons (instead of the default slide) to answer or reject a phone call but now I can't find it. Anyone remember how does one is done on the S8? Thanks in advance!
Its in accessibility settings. Search for "Single Tap Mode" in settings to find it quicker.

Was thinking the same .. until I've finally found it, go to Settings > Accessibility > Interaction and dexterity > Assistant menu > Enable it, then scroll down to "Single tap to swipe" and Enable it, after that you can scroll back up to the top and Disable the "Assistant menu", otherwise you will have that circle on your screen.. and you can notice the "Single tap to swipe" remains "On" even with the "Assistant menu" disabled. Enjoy!

If you long press the menu u can hide it. But for me it works with assistant menu off.

For some works but for others all work except "for calls" e.g. alarms, notifications, etc. , you can then enable the "Assistant Menu", the circle button can be hidden if you tap and hold it, it will show a "Drag here to hide X" at the top, once that is gone, you can get rid of the "Accessibility" notifications easily by going to Settings > Accessibility > click on the 3 dots in the corner right, then "Hide status notifications":

(remove the space after http to load the images)
The problem is the only thing that i need is the calls - all others i don't use
I tried this on my Sprint s8+ which just got pie and even after doing this the notification for the assistant menu stays on the notification bar and can't be removed (it's minimized and silenced so only visible when u swipe down but can't be hidden or removed)

I am trying to set up a Moto E6 for better accessibility for my 86yo mother-in-law. The phone upgraded to Pie, but there does not seem to be an option for tap to swipe even when I activate the menu. Any other ideas for how to get a tap to answer a call since she can't hold the button and swipe? I see comments about senior-friendly launchers and an app called easy answer. Even with the lock screen disabled the phone still demands swipe to answer. She'd have to have the phone screen on at all times to get a push to answer prompt from Motorola.
Thanks,
Dan

Can we add widgets on lock screen after update to 4.0.4?if yes pls tell me how...
Just tried it out and it seems i can only add Appz and not actual widgets ? Try this .....
Settings >
Security >
Screen lock >
Swipe >
Lock screen options >
Shortcuts >
Then select your Appz by clicking on the icons and add what you want from your list.
Hope that helps
Buddy as soon i select swipe it returns back to security screen and do not ask for anything further.......
This is what i did , have you got the short cuts turned on ? (slide the slider right till it turns green )
Ok i messed my instruction post up lol
Security >
Lock screen options >
Shortcuts >
Select from list
What i meant to say was you select your "lockscreen security" I used swipe and return to "Security" and then select "Lock screen Options" Sorry about that
Could not find it...i think this option is not available for p3100 model.......
Oh sorry to hear that , I'm on a 3110 (running a 3113 ROM ) .I just looked at your usual manual and it says nothing about adding stuff on the lock screen
http://www.userguidemanual.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-7-0-gt-p3100-manuals-gt-p3110-user-guide-android-ice-cream-sandwich-ics-tablet/
I have completely forgotten how to disable my lockscreen. I don't want any type of security when I press the power button. I just want to return to wherever I was when the screen was shut off. I don't want to swipe or anything to return to wherever I left off. I feel like I've searched everywhere in the options but I can't locate this. Thank you in advance.
You have to gain access to the Developer menu first. Follow these instructions:
1. Go to Settings --> About Phone and tap several times on "Build number" (I think you have to tap it 7 times if I recall alright). You'll see a toast notification telling you that you've become a developer (congrats!)
2. After this you'll see a new submenu under Settings, so go to Settings --> Developer options and uncheck "Screen lock". Voilà.

Thank you! I completely forgot about the developer settings.
As title, there is any way to lock the screen without pressing the power button?
I used to lock the screen with fingerprint sensor on my old Moto G5 Plus but on this Zenfone 6 i still couldn't figure out a way to lock it without pressing the on/off button. Besides not being so practical it will wear the button faster and we all know how things are made today... to not last.
You can set double tap on status bar to sleep. Works good enough.

Thanks, i had a new look and i found the setting under gestures. I was missing it because i think theres a issue with the translation to Portuguese. On the quick description it says something like "Double tap to activate LCD".

How can i set double tap on status bar to sleep? Can't seem to find this options. Thanks in advance
It's enabled by default, there is no dedicated settings. Once enabled double tap in settings, double tapping on status bar will turn off the screen.
You can double tap anywhere to lock your device, not only on status bar. The area you tap must be empty (icon free). I keep the center of the home screen empty for convenience.

Looking for HELP with a feature. Im comming from the s10 plus. I always used the function TAP to Swipe feature which is used for tapping to answer phone calls instead of sliding to answer. Its an option in the assistant menu. If you go to settings> accessibility> interaction and dexterity> assistant menu on> single tap to swipe… it can be turned on. But the problem is you cant get rid of the menu completly. On the s10 plus we was able to do this and hide it. Only option to hide it is slightly as an edge option.
Anyone know how to get rid of it completly while still allowing tap to swipe for answering phone calls?
I read your question over and over and looked at your screenshots and I really cannot work out what you mean.

Instead of swiping to answer phone calls you can just tap the answer button. Its activated thru the assisted menu. But when you activate it… it leaves a circle menu on the screen that you can put anywhere on the screen. There is an option to move it to the edge panel. You can see it on the picturr here i have it in the top right corner. On my s10 plus you can completly hide it while still being able to tap amd answer phone calls instead of sliding it to answer. Its called SINGLE TAP TO SWIPE.
OK, I am with you now.
I just checked on my Note 10+ and it's the same.
You can however hide the panel by dragging it to the top of the screen to the X that appears, this places the menu in the notification area, so although it cannot be hidden completely at least it no longer blocks your screen.
Once in the notification area, if you tap and hold the notification and then the gear icon, you can minimise it further there.
Hope this helps somewhat!

Its the same on the s10 plus which is what i am comming from. Youll get a accessability notification in the pull down bar but that can also be illiminated. On the note 20 ultra however when you hold down on the panel… there is no hide option. The only option im seeing is to put it on the edge panel… which is better but you can still see it.
I have the Note 10+ and use the Assistant Menu button to use single tap to answer calls. I could hide the button by holding and dragging it to the top of the home screen and releasing it when I see the X. Worked great. I recently updated my phone and it now has One UI 2.5. I cannot now hide the Assistant Menu button when I drag it to the top. Looks like the hide function has been removed. I don't like this at all. I don't like having to move the button around the screen to avoid interference with text, graphics, games, etc. Samsung needs to correct this ASAP!
You can either purchase "package disabler pro" and disable the accessibility app. Or you can go to settings>apps>all apps> scroll to accessibility then force stop the app and clear cache. It will stay hidden until you restart the phone. Make sure you have the single tap setting enabled first before you do this

Bro i cant thank you enough. I have package dissabler already and it worked. U are the man. Appreciate it very much.
Now i just need to get the ok google ding sound when you wake google by voice.
As title says. I have been looking all over to do this somehow on my note20 ultra, and None of what I have come across works.
There is a preselected list of widgets to add to lock screen, cannot add anything new.
And same with the gestures.
Is there just No way of doing this either of those ways, or am I missing something?
1. As of saying about gestures for flashlight in samsung,
There is a way to turn on flashlight by press and hold power bottom and then click on side key settings<open app< torch, that will enable you to turn on flashlight by clicking two times 'power bottom'.
But you have to be quick in clicking and just two times click.
If you click three times that will call emergency number of your reign.
2. In the case of lock screen:-
-> Swipe down with fingers then click on settings icon,
-> Swipe down and look for lock screen, click on it,
-> Swipe all the way down and click on shortcuts,
-> Turn it on if its off,
-> Then choose which side you want, to open flashlight,
-> Choose torch.
This will enable you to turn on flahlight by swiping in any direction from torch icon.

Neither of those methods are working for me. Double clicking the power button ooens the camera.
Power + middle is screenshot.
Power + top does nothing.
For the lock screen. I dint have any optio. For shortcuts. The screenshot shiws all thats available to try and change anyrhing available there.
After messing around with it. I remembered womthing about changing the side key functions. I was able to change the double click for camera to make it open flashlight instead.
Thank you for the help
1. Again hold power botton and than click on side key settings< click on open apps and then click on settings icon on the right side of open apps choose torch (first app).
