Turning off screen without Power Button? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Is there any way to turn off the screen (lock the device) without the need to press the right power button?
for example, with OPO you could long press the home button and the device got locked.
thanks!

you can use Custom Navigation bar and add a power button to either side of the nav bar

If you run Nova launcher, you can go to Nova settings, gesture & input and select screen lock for your desired gesture.

actually i just downloaded this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simi.screenlock
and its working

If you use the edge panel, use softkey edge. It has a screen lock button.

i think theres a lock option in the assistant menu,furthermore you can use the bxactions app with nova launcher and remap actions to lock the screen.

Unlock with Home 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?

[Solved] Google Update - Google Now Launching When Pressing Home Button Once

Google Now Launching When Pressing Home Button Once.
Just update the Google app to version 7.0.13.21 .arm64
The update also disabled the double tap home button to quick launch the camera app.
Tried to use All in one Gestures app to modify the home key but still double tap home button didnt launch the camera even if the setting is activated.
Any advice?
Regards
[Solved]
By installing the Google beta version 7.1.25.16 .arm, clearing some memory and rebooting my phone. This seems to solved the problem I had with home key tap actions. Now the Google Launches by long pressing the home button, one press brings home screen and double press quick launches the camera.
