Anyway to stop the phone from going to the home screen everytime I hit the fingerprint scanner? It's a pain while playing games. I have fingerprint gestures turned off already

I can open my phone by the fingerprint scanner and open encrypted apps but I can't lock the phone using the fingerprint scanner. Purchased the phone yesterday.
Lock the phone? As in locking the device? I'm sorry AFAIK, the oppo r7 plus does not have that feature. If the unlocking and app encryption are working like it is suppose to, then there is no problem with your phone.
lock it by pressing the power button as normal or you can double tap the home button to lock the device - need to be set in Gestures settings first.
Hello,
I always have to press the powerbutton first, before I can unlock the phone via the fingerprint sensor.
Is that normal?
yes, thats how it works on sony phones ... and i must say i like it, because of accidental touches i used to have on nexus 6p
If you are using tap to wake you don't have to press power button just put your finger on fingerprint scanner
doesnt work. Still have to press the power button first.
By the way...tap to wake up does not work on the XZ like it should: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ/Double-tap-to-wake-not-working-properly/td-p/1168519
People are so lazy that they can't even press a button nowadays.

yup, but he is right tap to wake is little off on xz( this feature worked fine on g3) and after awakening screen it should be possible to unlock it by touching fingerprint scanner
Once the screen is on, just touching the sensor unlocks for me.

Yes, this works. I am coming from a HTC 10 and here things are different.
If it helps, check out Gravity Screen, which can mimic Ambient Display-like functionality by waking up the notification screen via either proximity sensor or motion or a whole bunch of other stuff. Personally, I only use proximity sensor so the phone wakes up as I take it out of the pocket, then I just have to tap the sensor to unlock.
As all phones are quit big
It will be very helpful if touching fingerprints scanner works also as home button, and open first screen

So for years I have used nova launcher and had a simple swipe up on the home screen to lock my device. I got my S10 the other week and continued to use it. I didn't set up face recognition because I am fairly happy with fingerprint unlock.
With face recognition turned off, a swipe up on the home screen locks the screen (turns it off entirely) as it always did. However I tried turning face unlock on today and it's pretty cool. BUT now when I swipe up to lock, I am left with a lock screen rather than a black screen. worth noting that pressing the lock button does turn the screen off entirely. But I have my lock gesture for a reason! I now have to disable face unlock because I insist on locking with a gesture, and it effectively isn't locking the phone.
This is probably a fairly unique problem but if anyone else has experienced this and/or knows a workaround I'd love to hear from you.
Cheers
I use SMART LOCK and FINGERPRINT scanner but even when my screen says it's unlocked by smart lock I still have to swipe up to get to my home screen. Is there any way around this? I was afraid I was going to miss the rear finger print scanner that would just instantly get me to my home screen after picking up my phone correctly. Thanks
I think the only way to do that is with facial recognition. I know there's an option for that security to unlock/swipe the screen after it recognizes your face.

I didn't setup smart lock yet, but I do have fingerprint setup. When screen is black, I put my registered finger to the right spot and phone unlocks and goes to home screen
There's an option for face unlock
For smart unlock, I'm afraid that that's not possible since that swiping is the only thing protecting your phone to be accidentally while walking/running or whatever you are doing those moments.
This can be done with Face Unlock

You can also set up "Unlock with S Pen remote" - pressing the S pen button will turn the phone on and bring the last screen you visited.

go to your phone settings, search for face recognition and turn off "Stay on Lock Screen"
