Need a shortcut to turn off screen and lock device without touching power button.
GF got use to using the one I put on HTC Inc 2. Looking for one that works on
our Sammy S3 Verizon.
Than ks
I use Screen off and lock found in Google play store.
Screen off and lock ap by Kattaca is one of the only "real one" of these apps available. The multitude of widgets are useless, they just black your screen. Only problem with these apps in android 4.0+ is there is an instant reflash of the screen when the screen shuts off. This is not an issue with the app it, is a bug in the android os. I personally do not mind because I love the app, get the donate version and be glad you did. I've been in contact with the dev testing on different os's and he is on the issue as soon as there is a fix available.
JustCause,
Screen Off and Lock by Katecca is your best bet. There are many
others but none of them work. Although Screen Off and Lock isn't
perfect its the only game in town if you need a one click to turn off
screen. Here's a link 4U https://play.google.com/store/apps/...reenofflockdonate&feature=more_from_developer
Hope This Helps:fingers-crossed:
I'm contemplating a Mate 9. Is it possible to use a Screen Off application, to quicly turn the screen off, without having to touch any buttons?
Many people ask about unlocking the screen in a prompt manner. When I'm short of time (e.g. changing buses) it's just as important to be able to turn the screen off. On my old Note 3 I'm using a Screen Off app (or is it a widget) on my home screen. With a good non-slippery cover, I'm almost able to turn the phone on and off with a single hand. I'd like something similar on Mate 9.
I use the gesture mode on Nova launcher to screen off

You can use any screen off app.
There is even a widget preinstalled.
The floating dock also lets you lock the screen as well as the built-in widget
thanks, everyone.
It looks good. Now I just need to wait three weeks for the price to drop.
I heard Mate 10 is due to be announced on 16-Oct-2017.
I intend to stay with 9 because I don't like the ultra-thin bezels and I prefer the wider screen over the narrow-elongated forms.

Same here. I use double tap gesture in Nova launcher mapped to open app "screen off and lock". Just like old LG phones. I wish I could get double tap to wake to work I hear it gives a lot of false wakes though.
For the Screen OFF action I firstly tried Nova and Tasker actions, but in the end the best solution by far is to use the Mate 9 built-in Screen Lock feature, triggered with both Nova activity and Tasker Assist Request (home button long-press).
The built-in Screen Lock feature is both more efficient and visually pleasing than third party solutions, and respects the Smart Unlock settings.
For Screen ON the best solutions for me are Gravity Screen app (free from Play Store) and Tasker proximity action if you are bound to that addiction, like me (I can help building that specific task if anyone is interested).
I have gestures enabled on my mix 2s and I love them. So much more screen real estate to play with. However I find they interfere with gesture typing (eg: Swype or Gboard). In particular the 'p' is very difficult to swipe when a word starts with it. Anyone got a workaround for this? The MIUI back gesture (swipe) from edge really should only apply to the top 2/3 of the screen.
I also experience the same thing. I've just decided not to swipe close to the edge when typing

Does your keyboard closes while typing? Could be because of this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-mi-mix-2s/help/miui-im-swiping-t3803874

When I bought this phone immediately noticed this issue, specially annoying when I try to use swipe writing. I suspected that occurs because the system doesn't know if your are trying to write using the keys located at the edges of the screen like q, p, etc. or just using gestures. As a workaround I tried to adapt the keyboard using the one handed mode feature (Google keyboard) then moving it to the center of the screen and it worked, the lag disappears and no more false back gestures that closed my keyboard. You can see the screenshot attached.
Let me know if it worked for you.

Excellent work around thanks!
This is by far the most annoying thing I've come across with this phone! Strange. I tried the draw app test rapidly tapping between the sides and got so many false swipes it was crazy. Hopefully the sensetivity can be adjusted in a future update. Xiaomi seems to be pretty good with updates so far.
Hi there,
I just received my new Mi MIX 2S (actually, I got it 360 hours ago, if you know what I mean...) and I'm very satisfied with this toy
I'm on the last MIUI 10 Global Beta (8.7.5) since this afternoon, with SuperSU v2.82-SR5 and of course, with an unlocked bootloader.
However, I noticed a "strange" glitch/issue when I quick touching/typing.
It's seems that the screen not considering the different touch but acts like it does "two in one" touch.
I made a small video to illustrate the issue :
https://youtu.be/NdW8Zeo1MLQ
Does anyone has this too ?
Do you think it's an hardware or a software issue (like calibrate or touch-delay update) ?
Thanks

Hardware issue, I have the same issue.

Damn... I bought mine on Joybuy, I'll try to deal with them about the warranty because I guess I can't contact Xiaomi directly.
The XDA Gesture workaround seems to be a good temporary way but, I really don't want to stay on a defective device...
I already did this with my Oneplus One (as a early buyer, I got a similar issue) and it was worst with time, I regret to had never return them

Bought mine on Aliexpress, no way I'll get a warranty without me paying $30 of shipping and lose a month without the phone.
I tried the XDA gesture thing, but you can't really get the same gestures as on MIUI (alsway have to make the gestures from the bottom of the phone it seems). So for now I'm just using it with this "bug", with the keyboard closing from time to time when I type.
Probably gonna get a Mi Max 3 to replace it anyway sooner or later.
I just made the thest you did with a drawing app and I got the same results when I multi touched the screen very quickly. I hadn't noticed this earlier because it didn't cause any problem for my daily use. Specifically, in which context did you notice that issue?

I guess JoyBuy has the same warranty policy, which means cost return and more than a month without phone...
I haven't tried the XDA Gesture workaround yet, but I'm not too happy about losing the MIUI gesture
Hope that's JoyBuy will be understanding...

Thanks for your test and your answer.
In my case, it's very annoying when I (fast) typing a message, it causes a "fake" swipe and recude the keyboard or go back to home screen. I'll try to make a better screencast to show you in-use case.

Fine, I'll tell you my experience. I use to had the same problem, it's only noticeable using the keyboard and specially when you tap the letters located near the edge of the screen, specially like the Q and P. I'm almost completely sure that the problem is related to gestures, because the system thinks you're swiping, in my case I got some lag too in addition to the false back gesture. What I did to fix this is use the keyboard (Google keyboard) in one hand mode (long press the "," and this option will pop up next to the emoticon) and moving it to the center and the problem is gone. It's actually more comfortable this way because the space bar moves up and it's more accessible. You can play then with the keyboard size if you think it's too small. There are two others threads talking about the same problem and I recommended this solution in both, and it seems to work for others too. Try it and tell us.

I have this issue too, are you sure it's a hardware problem and it does not affect everybody?
Thank you.

Hi,
Actually, I think it's more an OS issue than an hardware one.
After some tries and research, I noticed that these "screen glitches" are bad interpretations of fast multitouching, translate into swipe/gesture.
These swipe/gesture come with the gesture navigation mode, included in full-screen desplay (and which allow to hide the bottom navigation bar).
If you re-enable the "classic" display, with the bottom bar, the issue doesn't seem to exist. So, I guess for MIUI, some fast-typing/touching are interpreted as gestures (swipe down-to-up = home, left-to-right = previous...)
In the same registry, I noticed that, if you use a scrollable widget (Google Agenda in planning display) and if you scroll down on it (in order to see the bottom lines for example), MIUI interpret it as a down-to-up gesture (and so, go back to home, or search).
So, I really hope that in a future update, the sensibility of these gestures could be decreased/improved...
For now, you could :
Enable the one-hand mode ok Google Keyboard as proposed by @rodaven (but personnaly, I dislike the fact to have a small keyboard with a lot of lost space around it...)
Disable the full sceen display mode (and so, say goodbye to the gestures feature)
Stay on full screen mode and gestures, get upset when you write a message and pray for un update

Thank you so much!
I have the gestures disabled because of that but it still happens in the keyboard (I don't like the one-hand mode). So, we need to wait hoping it'll be solved.

In my opinion, it's the same issue.
Due to the full screen/gesture feature, fast multitouches are interpreted as a gesture.
On my video, you could see it.
On the issue from MIUI website, users asked that swipe/gesture are disable over keyboard when it's on-screen.
I think it should be a solution to combine gesture navigation and fast multitouch/type.
Personnaly, I disable full screen/gesture navigation (for now, sadly) and the issue desappear, that's why I'm pretty sure it's a software issue (which concern very model with this feature).
I changed my screen
Actually i cracked my screen and replaced new lcd from aliexpress claimed original. I checked it is JDI. But the touch issues still persist. I think its xiaomi driver.. or i dont know.. i really regret having this phone

I tested more, disabling fulls creen gestures and the problem persist. There is a video with the keyboard trying to type "alguna", sometimes it makes a gesture "left to right":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8EgUfaN5C0
It's very disapointing, I had touch screen problems with my oneplus one and now with the mix 2s.
I've noticed the touchscreen is a little bit slow/lazy when I activate navigation gestures.
The lazy response area is only on the bottom-left of the display, and it concerns only the "A" letter of my qwerty keyboard (a very small area).
This lazy response of the touchscreen is on all other apps, not only in the keyboard, and it concerns only that small area.
If I use navigation buttons, the problem disappear.
I don't know if this issue was present also in previous OS version because I've tried using navigation gestures today
I've the Nex S 8/256GB, PD1805_A_1.17.10
Anyone noticed this?
Exactly the same here...
Sorry for this (maybe too) late answer: Have exactly the same issue. I'm used to write really fast on my phone, but since having the Vivo Nex, I'm slowed down extreamly because of this. Also for me just the "A" letter is the problem. Doesn't matter which keyboard or size (tried several), it's always laggy...
I really hoped this would be a thing of the past after the newest "Funtouch-update" from some days ago, as they've been writing about "better touchscreen accuracy" in the changelog... But nobchanges at all concerning this point...
Did anyone already found a solution against this, without having to turn on those ugly navigation buttons on the bottom of the screen? I really like the three swiping gestures.
Same on my side
Seems as my previous post has been deleted / went lost...
I've exactly the same problem here with the "A" key of the keyboard being really slow on my Vivo Nex S (256GB, global version). Hoped this problem would fade away after the newest "Funtouch" update 3 days ago, because they wanted to have solved exactly this problem, what Vivo told us in the changelog...
But all kept the same. Tried already three different keyboards with different settings, no success. Does someone has a solution for this?
But I really DON'T like having the navigation buttons visible, so this is no option for me. I definitely want to use the original slide actions for the three buttons below the screen...
To be honest: I'm using the Nova Launcher over the Funtouch System (the Funtouch launcher is absolutely useless). Could this have an influence?
This happends to me too.It seems there s area down to the bottom of screen is not sensitive enough.
I have vivo 1805 which is Taiwan version, not sure if this model same as the global version. And I also try to flash the chinese version ROM but failed cause of the signature difference. The update progress in Taiwan is not as fast as chinese. Hope VIVO in Taiwan could release the fix soon.

Well, not sure if this is the same issue on my device, as the sensitivity seems to be ok on mine, but I have to push the "a" button much longer (not stronger) than all others. So just a laggy key... And REALLY annoying!
But "good" to hear that others seem to have comparable problems. If there just finally would be a fix for this on the Vivo phones...?
Hey guys. I have been facing the same issue and started experimenting with navigation replacements. So as you guys realize, sensitivity is just fine when using the nav buttons but there are a lot of keyboard mistypes when using Vivo's own navigation gestures.
Therefore, after expermintation, I can confirm that the app called "Fluid Navigation" is an awesome replacement for the navigtion gestures. XDA Navigation gestures is slightly incompatible with the Nex. But Fluid Navigation works perfect.
So all you need to do is follow these steps
1, Switch to Nav buttons
2, Install the app
3, Grant accessibility permission
4, Grant Write Secure Settings through ADB. The app gives instructions for this
5, Hide the nav bar through the app
6, Customize the gestures in the app. It even allows quick settings swipe up.
Hope this helps. Enjoy guys. You will definitely feel the difference
