fingerprint gestures - Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers

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

Finger print quickaction is the closest I can get but need to double tap sensor. Swipe or single touch won't work.

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.

Fingerprint quick action

Just tried this app and it seems to work with our fingerprint scanner. I set the Tap option to 'go home' and the swipe option to 'expand notifications panel, both of which are working well.
And double tap to sleep is working also.

Hi, correct me if I'm wrong but when touching the fingerprint sensor it unlocks the device & thereby waking it up?

I think he means waking it without unlocking..?
Hello.I installed aosp rom, and the mobile data, doesn't work.I return to multilanguage miui 8.0.9.0 and i mean:I want when my phone is in my pocket, when i grab it, and touch the fingerprint sensor, to wake up the device and to open the unlock screen, because for me is better this idea, not to push the power buton to wake up the device..I hope that you understand my idea.Thanks

This is the wrong section to post in for a start, but there isnt any Nougat for the Redmi note 4 as of yet (it hasnt been confirmed from Xiaomi whether there actually will be or not), either official or unofficial.

Mate, if you are using Jio I think I might be able to help you on that AOSP rom
First : go to setting and then to SIM cards
Second : Select the SIM slot in which Jio is inserted
Third : Go to access point names and start creating new APN
Fourth : Set the Name and APN as jionet(basically both need to be the same and you can set anything you want)
Fifth : Now without altering anything to scroll down and change APN protocol and only that to IPv4 and save the APN and make it the main one
I think that will solve the custom ROM incompatibility of Jio sim
Guys, could you check if this app does effect the battery life or etc?
Also does it require root?

Hey bro. I used this app, I love it but when this app is in action i can't take pictures using fingerprint sensor. When i touch the sensor to take pictures the screen flashes as if a picture is taken but nope. Then I uninstalled this and that worked fine
Sorry this app for sd or mtk
Thanks

It's available in play store so it's universal i think. It would work on any phone with a fp sensor i think.

Can you provide a screen shot of your camera settings? Maybe I have something selected that is overriding the feature.

Sorry for the other pic. Unable to delete it for some reason. Attached by mistake
Wow, you will never guess what setting caused the problem!
I had my volume button action set to zoom. When I switched it to trigger the shutter, suddenly the fingerprint trigger started working again! This makes no sense.
EDIT:
Strange... It only worked twice and now I can't get it to work again! What is going on?!

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

swipe down on fingerprint sensor?

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.

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.

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.

Plus Beat alternative

I came from one plus 6T and I think that best way to deal with no LED notifications was app called Plus Beat. It activate stock ambient display according to predefined time interval. Sadly it's no working on 7 Pro anymore. Anyone is aware of good alternative for that kind of app?
Hello
I also come from the 6T and I have installed it in my 7 Pro.
I think it worked better in the 6T, but I do not notice that goes wrong in the 7 Pro.
The only thing that ever worked for me is the option of DND profiles. When I set it up and activate it, I get into the app and the Option Enable Plus Beat It's off.
Anyone know how to fix it?
There's another app. It's called "Always on Edge". Works fine for me.

Tried Pixel Pulse today and doesn't seem to work either. Notifications come in, however they do not reappear again(pulse). Tried Always on Edge and Pulse Beat neither of them pulse, which is weird because Beat Pulse worked perfect for a day. Battery optimization was off for these apps.

It's really strange, some reports pixel puls working other they it's not working.. So far pixel pulse working flawlessly for me. It repeat pulse until notification it's dismissed. I try some edge but didn't like it. I prefer apps that use native ambient display rather than screen overlay..like aos edge or any led screen app

This may be a very dumb question but is there a way to dismiss notifications from the actual notification screen (I believe this is the ambient screen)?
The only way I've been able to dismiss notifications is to go into the lock screen and swipe away the notification.
