I think it's the same reason you can't toggle Bluetooth with your phone locked anymore, they disabled it for security purposes.

Android KitKat: you can do cray stuff with nfc, I buy four glass-tags from China and put two in my left arm/hand.
Feels like cyberpunk unlocking the phone with the touch of my wrist. (Sony Xperia Z2 _without_ fingerprint sensor).
Android lollipop: nfc limited to Funktion only when phone when is on, unlocking feels less cool because I have to push a button bevor touching the wrist.
Android O: Google removed NFC unlock completely. Wtf, thx google.

A way to turn on my tablets screen when walking past it?

Hey guys, I've an Advent Vega, and would love if I could find a way to use the front camera to activate the screen when passing?
I'd leave it plugged in by the door, so as I'm leaving/coming home I can see the weather forecast and any tasks or emails waiting for me.
Any ideas guys n gals?

Use smart screen on/off app.. It uses proximity sensor to lock or unlock device.. you can probably Swype your hand at the sensor n unlock it..

That's aaalmost what would be ideal... just... i'd like it to be from the camera... for instance when I turn the coridor light on when I get home, or walk past it, so I can take a quick look passively without having to interact.
Anybody else got a suggestion? Maybe something paired with Tasker somehow?

One thing you must know if that your front camera cannot sense your motion or anything.. no hardware support for it.. It's just like how your eyes cannot detect smell..
At the max you can make use of your proximity sensor for that purpose..

Yes, I'm just wondering if there's a way to do it with a 3rd party app. Something that would keep the front camera turned on or take photos every second, and then continually process images for motion detection. Once detected, it would then activate the screen.

Awesome!
That's almost exactly what I'm looking for!
Coolness... now my old tablet can sit by the door and remind my pathetic brain of what I need to do (or what my gf has added to the calendar more than likely), give me a quick glance of recent emails, and show me the weather forecast so I don't get soaked .
Thanks for finding that!

You could also keep another smartphone on your person and have the two devices paired and set the phone left at home to wake up when the paired device comes within range.

Interesting Would this be done with tasker?

I'm not certain, regardless of the setup you use, you need to be aware that nothing will work to do this if the device that you want to wake is in sleep mode or if the device has a screen lock enabled, no matter what you do. You'd have to permanently disable your pass/pin/pattern lock on the device that you want to wake remotely so that the device can stay in a state where it can detect the paired device when it approaches. You would still need to unlock the "normal" lockscreen that would normally require you to swipe the screen, but there is an option that automatically unlocks the screen when a paired "trusted device" is detected.
There are some options available that can wake the device when a paired device is detected, provided that the device to be woken is not in deep sleep or has a pass/pin/pattern lock enabled. Combine that with the "trusted device" option and it should do what you want and none of it should require root.
There is also a more complicated method to have the device set to wake when the paired device comes in range, but it requires writing some code and implementing the code on the device. But I think there is a way to do this with just enabling/disabling some settings, pairing the devices and setting the paired device that you will keep with you as the "trusted device", either via built in settings(if the device has them) or by installing an app that lets you connect the device as a "trusted device".
What is the android version on the device that you want to wake up remotely?
The tablet is TB-X606F on android 10 and my phone is on 12. I have disabled all kinds of screen lock, even the swip, so as soon and you press the unlock button you are presented straight away with the desktop. I can't though see any options around unlocking when paired, I'm going to put Tasker on the tablet and see if there is any options for screen unlock when in range and screen off when not in range. Failing that whole idea, all I can think of is using Flux to dim the screen to 0 when I turn the living room lights off at night effectively rendering the screen off at nighttimes?

Finger Print MOD

Hi Members and Devs
I've just bought Xperia Z5.
I was wondering if there's any MOD that automatically unlock the screen without having to use the power button.!
Any help would be appreciated.!
there's always double tap to wake in the options menu but you wouldn't want anything that unlocks it too easily

Sorry If i wasn't clear.!
Wanted a MOD That could unlock when there's a recognized Finger placed.
This function is already available in Huawei and HTC phones
it's a android N feature.
beta roms for android N already are working that way
just wait for android N
Enable Ambient Display Xposed, you can use it to wake up screen with proximity sensor.

No it's not, it's also there on MM as it works well on my Nexus 5x running MM. It's been disabled on Xperia Stock based Roms. However, on AOSP or CM you can easily wake and unlock the device without having to press the power button.

I also want that,
I also want to be able to register more fingerprint samples. As more fingerprint samples to choose from means less chance of error. it will make the fingerprint sensor more reliable.
Any kind of MOD (Xposed or system) would be greatly appreciated.
Just register in more samples in Settings>Security, I think multiple fingerprints are a standard feature on devices running Android 6.0
This Xposed Module is also quite useful, it disables the need to enter the pin after a reboot, which means you can unlock your device via fingerprint.
Good luck

Honor 8 new and updated to b360 problems

Hello all,
I bought today the Honor 8, after the setup i did the update to nougat.
But the main problem atm i have is that the notification led dont work if i get a text message from whatsapp or from other 3d party apps.
I make it work with the app Light manager, but i guess it must work straight out the box right? is it a bug or some setting that i miss?
Also i miss already smartlock on the phone, i there a alternative for it when u are at home that the phone automatic unlocks?
I have now a little regret that I have not bought a phone with a fingerprint on the front side like the Lenevo P2, because it is very annoying when the phone is on the table and u need to type pincode or the password.
I had expect that Honor got smartlock since it is a default android feature.
Led should work,mine works from the first boot

Mate 9 Oreo - Touch Disable Mode - how to disable?

Hi, Since my Mate9 auto updated to build mha-l29 8.0.0.373(c636) - the version that introduced face unlock which I use, I now get annoying feature whereby the device screen turns on in a "Touch Disable Mode" every time I put the phone into a waterproof pouch for exercise etc. This never happened in earlier builds. Where do I find the settings for touch disable mode to remove it please and hopefully stop to water proof pouch interfering with display??
Appreciate any ideas guys.
Seriously has no one got any feedback please? This mate-9 is driving me nuts when I use waterproof sports bag and screen keeps coming on. How to stop it happening I wonder?
Huawei removed the option to disable "touch disable mode" in EMUI 8.
But this should help you:

Since bootloader can be unlocked, it's up to developers

I hope they develop a proper Lineage port or something like same. I have already fed up with the Lenovo software. Productivity mode useless and we can't disable it permanently.

I just finally got the keyboard and case for the tablet and it automatically puts the tablet into "Productivity mode" when you attach the keyboard.
At first I thought the productivity mode was kind of cool. Until I started opening up some apps that aren't compatible with it at all.
I don't like the keyboard at all. I would like to use a BT mouse but when it connects the onscreen keyboard won't come up. So I just use touch all the time.
Just noticed that every single time I attach the keyboard it auto-starts that 'productivity mode' automatically. I then have to go into settings to disable it as most of my apps aren't compatible with it.
Real pain in the a$$ this is now lol
Every day it drives me mad. How is it that I have Productivity Mode turned off in Settings and it ignores it and turns it on every time I fold the keyboard or attach it?!
I really wish there was a hack to turn it off permanently.

My tab pro has an option in the settings to not turn productivity mode on when a keyboard is attached.
Settings -> productivity mode -> auto switch when kB attached
Thank you so much for that. That must have appeared in a recent update. Brilliant, let's hope it works.
regular p11 or xiaxin is already very cheap to buy, so there will be some roms in the near future, however it works fine as it is. No need to rush for a custom rom, android 11 doesn't really offer something new, maybe wiht android 12 we will see some good custom rom out there
...mmmm crazy question
is it possible to flash a samsung rom to this tab?
i had a china tab before(8yrs ago?) that was using a samsung rom
