swipe down on fingerprint sensor? - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Would be so awesome if someone could make this mod. It's the biggest thing I miss from my past phones. No idea why they would take that option away.

you can try this kernel

It's not even possible because the fingerprint sensor is entirely different from the one on the 5t. The op6 sensor just can't support gestures this has been discussed here already.

Sorry I just got this phone and didn't see any threads related to it. That kinda sucks I'll miss it, especially with such a big screen.

Yep is numbe bummed too. But there are roms kernels and apps that can enable ther the sensor to be long pressed to show notifications and quick settings.

Previously had H7; on H8 neither I can find it. It's not there at all. Don't understand why it's removed/left out.
Want it back, and native. No patch/crack w/root to be needed, as hereto for it wasn't needed as well.
I would like to have also , Double Tap to sleep ..
Pity we cant attribute this function to the fingerprint sensor .
Would like to have a shortcut for this setting , dont want push power button each time.

No, i want it with EMUI
I found ?* alternative solution. I downloaded Screen Off from playstore , and attributed it to long press fingerprint sensor.

If the fingerprint sensor is kept at front, then that can be the reason.
This should not be the reason for the mobile with Back FP sensor and Smart button.
Honor 5X also do have FP sensor. But it has double tap to wake feature.

This mod doesn't work. What I'd like is ambient display.

Could be added if we had a kernel dev.
Probably in the next Emui v5. It´s still being cooked.

Sure.
Then, after you double tap it, you need to unlock by fingerprint... because, as you said, you are forced to keep it up to use FP.
I'm not saying Honor did right choice.
But if you choosed a back FP phone, maybe you did it wrong...

When im sleeping, i suppose to have mobile near me rather than a watch or a clock. So that i can see the time while waking up. Especially during holidays without alarm.

It*
If you don't like my hobby, well, I can't help you there. Mate.
Where I CAN help you is with your real problem. See, I also got an used Pixel with rattling vibration. So just go thru all the settings on the phone and anywhere you see it - disable it or turn it off. This means haptic feedback, keyboard settings, ringtone settings etc. You can't disable it all at once, you just gotta go one by one. It's a 3 minute walk, you can do it.

No fingerprint gesture?!

Oneplus 6 got rid of the swipe down for notifications gesture. Is there any way we can get it back? Maybe like the flashable zip the 5t had in omnirom? This may seem like such a small thing but it's huge for me. With this gesture I dont have to reach up to get my notifications down and thats a lot less of a chance for having the phone drop and break on me. Especially because it's all glass now.

Well, the phone hasn't practically even released at this time, so it will take a bit of time to know.
I think the reason why there are no fingerprint gestures is because of the reduction in the size of the fingerprint sensor.

Ahh, thanks for giving it a try and letting me know before I get my hands on the device. Hopefully the developer updates the app to make it compatible with the 6! (if possible)
Quite upset about the removal of this feature as well. It was really useful. I'll be looking out for it / monitoring this thread to see if anyone has a solution. Wish OnePlus would simply add it back.
Workaroud
I followed this guide and it seems to be the only app that works with my OP6
android.gadgethacks.com/how...e-notification-gesture-other-devices-0174514/
just add https before it as i can't post links yet
would be amazing to get swipe gestures, especially while reading ebooks or articles, its so convenient scrolling and reading with one hand and a coffee in the other

It does work if you download the app from the guide and enable foreground activity.
I've been using it for the past 24 hours with no issues (just the annoying android notification that there is an app running in the background which I hid so now all good)

I find this works well when you set it up for tap to toggle notification tray and enable foreground services under the non-exposed settings.
Any more updates on this? It's quite annoying they've not included that feature

OK Google.. with screen off.. A good feature that's Working :)

Honestly, I never thought ok google would work with screen off for non pixel devices... But it works for OP6.. Just tried it..
This helps in unlocking the phone will driving and directly making calls..
Apologies if you already knew this before but it's kinda new for me.. Just thought of sharing this with anyone who is like me...
Thanks for sharing. Can you share the settings steps for it.

Thanks ! I never used Google Assistant, but I may try if it is so easy...provided the permanent listening does not eat battery ! By the way, any changes in battery drain when using this feature ?

It's strange for me that this is news because I've been using custom romsnfor so long that had this implementated. It's a good feature
I think the idle drain will be about the higher than without it (this is what I have noticed) but it's not massive so definitely a recent trade off if you like the service. I have a few Google homes and they all pick up my voice but then it knows from which device to reply from based on what's nearest to you.
I've used this mainly for turning on Bluetooth and setting navigation whilst driving. Also asking questions whilst driving that I want the answer to.

I doubt if custom roms would make any difference. I have used oneplus 1 and op3 but none of the custom roms for these devices had this feature.. Interesting point you made about multiple Google homes devices and the nearest one reverts back.. Didn't know this..

fingerprint gestures

Hi there. I´m new to the Mi Mix 3, overall it´s a great phone but I really miss the fingerprint gestures like i had on my Pixel 2 (swipe down to open the notifications). I tried several apps, but non of these semms to be working. I´m on the EU 8.12.27 beta ROM with root. Is there any app that is working with this phone or is there any setting that can solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

I already tried that. But it doesn´t feel very handy to me. When you accidently touch the sensor than the action is executed. And the swipe doesn´t work very well. A bit of hit and miss imo.
