You're able to unlock the device with S Pen through settings, but no option to lock it. Is there any way to do this?
But why?

With all the buttons being on the left side of the device, when phone is resting on a table or other flat surface it makes it difficult to press without lifting the phone up. That's how it is for me personally, so the ability to lock device with S Pen would be a nice QoL feature.
Maybe create a shortcut under spen shortcuts, to some screen off app from Google play
I use Screen Off and Lock app from the Play Store. Just tap the icon and it's off and locked.
Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll give them a try.

I've not been using the S-Pen the way i thought i would. The reason for it is because i often have problems that my palm accidently touched the notification bar or that my hand triggers a gesture set in GMD Gesturecontrol.
So what i'm looking for is a way for the device to register if the s-pen is near the screen and then deactivate gestures or even go full screen so i can't hit the notificationbar.
Has anyone found a App that can do something like that.
I know there are Apps that give a trigger for when the s-pen is detached, but i'm often holding the pen and still use my fingers for pressing buttons, so i'm not looking for that.

i thought that the Note 10.1 itself disable finger touchs when the s-pen is near the screen, isn't it @@
I thought so too, however, when holding the pen near the screen gestures still work.
I can't understand what the point of having the two icons on the bottom corners of the lock screen is. If you press them they don't do anything of course because the phone is locked. Can somebody explain this please?
You can remove them if they are such a nuisance, just saying..

You don't press them, you swipe them up providing instant access to those apps. I love the camera one... not sure why I'd need such fast access to the phone, though.

Thanks that works. DOH! But I have swipe lock set because I still have the factory plastic over my phone until my case and screen protector come. If you have a fingerprint or pin lock or password etc. how do you use those?

Divide your speedtest figures by 1,000 and that's what I get
Hi guys. As the title says, it would be great to not have to use the power button at all to unlock and lock the device again and again.
Now obviously to unlock it, all i have to do is touch the fingerprint scanner.
And to lock it again i have tried apps from store and though those do the job and lock the device but then phone doesn't unlock by fingerprint scanner and it just wakes up and asks for pin to unlock.
Kindly help out.
I am kinda spoiled by knock On/Off feature on LG G4 and never used the power button on that thing.

You must use finger sensor to unlock and circle to lock. No other way. Huawei don't have double click lock/unlock. Bad thing. I see to another phone.
What if you try lock widget (chinese version & I'm not sure if it includes in international or European versions)
Use fingerprint quick action
Lock widgets require admin permission to work and if you lock with widget then fingerprint scanner takes you to pin code screen instead of unlocking the device.

Juat tested with Nova Prime and configured the double tap to turn off the screen.
But that also required admin access and after turning off screen that way, fingerprint scanner brings me to pincode screen again instead of completely unlocking the device.

Double tap Mate 9 not have. Bad. Lock widget not have international version. Only circle, but you must double clock on this quick tool to lock. Mate 9 not have user friendly features like my old G2, G4 or Z11. Mate 9 have only big price. ,)
try using this software from play store. it work very well on my mate 9
Using screen lock app.
Clicking on the icon turns off the screen and lock the phone just fine.
But then when you use fingerprint to unlock, it'll take you to this screen instead.

Where the heck did that come from. :cyclops:
That's why i love these forums.
I could kiss you right now.
how to install this floating dock? i hope so without root or custom rom, i dont want to void my warranty @gull_s_777

I saw this "floating dock" on my set too, and it's come with stock ROM.
Some detail can find in this website:
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/140...-tricks-take-charge-of-your-mate-9-p9-honor-8
I use Nova Launcher gestures together with Anywhere Launcher to allow me to turn off and lock my screen using a downward swipe from the upper left corner of the screen in any app. It's very convenient.
I'm on C636B188 and that includes the screen lock widget, so you can use that.
Originally, I thought I would prefer it to the floating dock, but after getting used to the dock I like it more because you can access it from anywhere, not just the home screen.
The "Custom Navigation Bar" app has that functionality.
You can add an extra button on the navbar to put the phone to sleep instantly and unlock your device with fingerprint sensor.
I don't know if any other app of such kind.
At least I have this Screen Lock widget directly on my phone. Fingerprint opens the lock just fine after locking it with this widget.
You can use a Nova gesture to lock the screen, but don't use Nova's Screen Lock action in the first tab. Instead, swipe to the last tab on the right ("Shortcuts"), and look for Screen Lock there.
Unfortunately, though, this no longer seems to work on Oreo. Whenever, I try to select the Screen Lock shortcut, I get a message saying 'App isn't installed.' I have a feeling it has something to do with the fact that they replaced the Floating Dock with the Navigation Dock.
i just update the stock firmware, yes, the latest stock 188 rom has built in widgt for turn off the screen. it is very handy.

I have a Huawei Nova 2i & was looking for the same. Go to Smart Assistance & activate Floating Dock.
Hi guys. What do you think is the best option to lock the phone without using physical buttons?
Only renovate ice has a sort of rom control which allow to customize buttons. But that rom development being discontinued, i am searching for an alternative on pie as well
You can use Nova Launcher and easily set a gesture to activate screen lock. In my case, i have set double tap on homescreen to lock.
thank you, it is not the same exact way of locking screen just because you have to be into homescreen in order to do those gestures. Rom control let you lock while you are in apps.
By the way it is useful and better than nothing. Also, there is a an option that uses root to lock directly the screen instead of working around with a black screen and waiting for the system to lock it. Thank you very much!
I use softkey edge, you only have to swipe and press lock.
You can use badlock, one hand operation. There're a lot of options.

Hi there . I've been using a Galaxy S10 for the past 3 years. When I flicked open the cover, it went straight onto the home screen, without ANY lock screen, not even swipe.
I did disable the lock screen on this Xiaomi 12T, but I still can't get rid of a screen that requires me to swipe before I get to my home screen. How can I get rid of it?
Thank you in advance!

Not possible and this prevents an app from accidentally launching.
Damn . Since I have a cover with a latch, apps accidentally launching are a non-issue
Another case of product design which sacrifices customization in the name of "saving the majority".
Ouffff. Anybody know any workaround? Other than rooting the phone
No workaround,without rooting and this remains to be verified, except maybe with an AOSP rom.
I believe in the extended settings/ developer options (to activate hit several times miui version in detailed cell phone overview from settings) it is possible to deactivate lockscreen.
