I have a 10minute delay until the pattern lock screen pops up but what if i wanted to lock the screen right away instead of waiting the 10 minutes, is there a widget or LaucherPro shorcut method to do this?
Go into settings then security and you can reset the delay time

i don't want to reset the delay. i want to keep the 10min delay and have the option to press something to immediately lock the phone.
Yes - found what your looking for!

Yes there is thank goodness. I wanted this myself - tired of pressing the power button to lock the screen. The widget is called Lock Screen Widget from the marketplace. Enjoy - I know I did.
i tried that widget but it doesn't work. just turns the screen off.
i should note that i'm also using "Lock Delay" but even with Lock Delay uninstalled, the Lock Screen widget doesn't work for me.
A lot of people are saying that Lock Delay doesn't work with 2.2 but i'm not having any problems aside from the lock pattern coming up at random times but thats ok, it's only once a while.
pressing the power button works fine for me it locks the screen
we all have different configurations though:
I have Lock Delay to accomplish the following:
1. Pattern Lock only comes on after 10minutes of inactivity
2. Pressing Power button to turn the screen off and then on again will not show the Slide To Unlock screen
This way If i'm going to use the phone on and off during a short period of time (10 minutse), I won't have to keep bothering with sliding to unlock the screen every time i turn the display on.
By default the slide to unlock screen always comes up.
Hmmm. Works for me

Thats exactly what i was thinking lol. As far as the OP idk. i know there are widgets that can turn the lock pattern on and off so if you were to turn off the delay and use that widget that kinda solves your problem
Try switch pro widget

that's what a lot of people have probably but the problem that i see with that is that you have to slide to unlock and pattern unlock EVERY time you turn the display back on. am i correct? because i currently have Lock Delay (app) that disables both slide and pattern locks during the first 10 minutes so i don't have to mess with them every time i want to use the phone.
SwitchPro doesn't work, it only brings me to the unlock settings screen, pressing back will cancel out of the lock.
Lock screen widget works for me

switch pro widget has that option and many more for the power widget
I prefer not to shimmy up the phone to reach the power button, and have it set up so a double tap on the back key turns the screen off. However, they do not shoe up on the lock screen. So I have to enter the pattern then turn the screen off. Does anyone know a mod or widget you can place on the screen in the lock screen to turn the display off?
Thanks
Viper ROM has that sort of option. I don't use Xposed, but I believe it does as well.

If you're willing to flash a custom kernel, Evolution's kernel has swipe to sleep feature (swipe right to left on the bottom of the screen to turn it off, works on lock screen.)

If you are using the stock LockScreen, double tapping anywhere on the display will turn the screen off. If you are using a replacement LS you can get an Xposed module that turns the screen off with a double tap on the status bar.

Hi, do ya also have problem with tap 2 wake when phone is locked ?? After last update my galaxy s8plus wont unlock if i typing twice on display.
How about you ??
Do you have the Always On Display turned on? The double tap only works with AOD. You can also turn on to wake with a long press where the home button is, this works without AOD.
Tap2wake
Yes i got turned on AOD.

You can use tap to wake or double tap to wake. Try turning off pick up your phone to show in ambient display settings.
I have that off and tap to wake on and don't get screen wakes in my pocket.

Tap to wake, double tap to wake, sweep to wake, all useless (here). Phone will wake up no matter what, will send random texts, change my ringtones, call people, all while in pocket.
It's amazing something like this can happen on a flagship phone in 2019. But... I guess "they're working on it". :good:

Sounds like you have body detection on. So try going in to security & lockscreen / smart Lock then turn off on body detection. Hope it helps.

Nope. All is set as ot shoulf, but thx! :good:
I generally like my 6A, but I am so frustrated by the fact that sometimes I can tap the screen to wake it, and sometimes I have to push the power button.
Does anyone else experience this, and do you have a solution ?
For background, yes I have tap to wake turned on.
Is global power management active? That can cause erratic behaviors.
It doesn't work for me outside at night.
There was a time when it was broken, afte a few seconds of screen off it will stop working, but that was a beta build.

I've searched settings and I don't find global power management. Can you point me in the right direction?

Interestingly, mine doesn't wake up after being in my pocket for a while. That's when it happens 99% of the time

What ROM are you on?
100% stock with the March security update recently applied.
A long time ago I read something about connecting to a Bluetooth device interfering with the tap to Wake feature.
When I got the March security update everything was working fine and I figured that Google had corrected whatever was wrong.
I don't know if it's coincidence, but yesterday I connected my Bluetooth speaker and son of a gun. Now it's doing the same thing again.

It's an Android core feature. Usually found in battery management with a cute name like adaptive battery.
Developer options>stand by apps, if all buckets show as active global power management is disabled. However it can't be disabled here. Altering individual app battery management doesn't effect this.
I'm rooted (stock March) and use AOSP mods option to have 'double tap to wake' replace single tap and also 'double tap to screen off' enabled and I still have times when I have to press power to wake but dub. tap to scr off is pretty reliable. FWIW I have Adap. Pwr turned off. I may see if the ASOP dev can shine some light cuz it IS annoying as hell.
I have the same problem, in addition there are identical problems with the gesture to turn on the flashlight (double tap on the back of the phone)

What are these "AOSP mods options" you speak of?
The tap to wake/double tap to sleep has been a real step down on the P6a compared to my LG-V30.
As to the OP - yes, I have seen seemingly random issues with tap to wake. Sometimes I can tap the screen several times with no response and end up resorting to the power button. Other times it just works.

Try in safe mode.
Check Accessibility options, tap duration.
Also fails for me randomly, however I'm running a custom ROM where I can toggle "pocket mode".
What I've found is that when tap to wake doesn't work, and I press the power button to wake the device, the pocket protection mode shows up on the screen for a split second (my device sitting my desk, screen up).
My guess is that the proximity sensor dies down for some odd reason, and the phone thinks the screen is covered, thus tap to wake shouldn't work.

This makes a lot of sense to me. I wish there was a fix for it.
Its almost certainly proximity sensor related.

No such option in Accessibility, or in any of the sub-options (system, Timing, etc).
Will try Safe mode later, but I'm doubtful...
