Any way to turn the screen off on the lock screen?

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.

Lock screen issues

I am running a stock un-rooted note 5 . my issue is that I have to Swipe up on the lock Screen and use the fingerprint to unlock but I only want to use the fingerprint . Any idea HOW to do this?

Please search next time. You have smart lock activated. If you have a lock icon on you lock screen, your phone is not secure. Just swipe anywhere but from that icon and your phone unlocks. If you swipe from the lock icon, then you are securing it for the next time you turn the screen on. To change the smart lock setting, go to settings > lock screen and security>secure lock settings> smart lock.

The thing is I already searched and could not find anything on this. Also smart lock is not turned on. If I wipe it's either use finger print or pin if it can't read my print after a few tries. My phone will not unlock from just a swipe it has to be a pin or password. I don't want to swipe at all but just use a finger print.

I figured it out the thread can be closed.

Remove Swipe Sreen from lock screen when not using swipe lock method

Hello,
I want to use the patern lock method. The problem is that when I want to unlock the phone I must swipe the screen first and then to use the patern.(I select the only the patern method). I have searched the web(a lot) and still I can't get an answer.... On my previous phone(Note4 with Android 6.1) this behavior was not present. Is there a "magic " setting that can end my suffering?
Thank you in advance!

What happens when you also include fingerprint as a option?... meaning you have both pin and fingerprint as options.

You also have to swipe to use the iris scanner too...annoying for sure.

There's an option to have it scan for you iris as soon as you hit the unlock button.

The swipe is present if I chose pattern+face or pattern+iris...I just can get ride of it...I must swipe first and then biometrics or pattern...

No swipe needed, go to settings>display>navigation bar then turn on Unlock with home button, no need to swipe now just push the home button.

looking to slove this as well on galaxy s7 active...
we don't have the nav bar option...

How to double tap or slide into the app that shows a notification on the lockscreen

On my gs8+ if I tap or double tap on a lock screen notification it does nothing. if I swipe the notification either direction it simply dismisses it. I know I can highlight the notification and then swipe up to get to the app but that is a two step process. Am I missing a better way?

I have mine PIN protected and I need to highlight then swipe up to enter the pin or unlock with the fingerprint reader..

No pin or any other protection on mine. Still have to highlight and swipe up. I dislike the two step process and hoping there is a setting I've missed.

oneplus 6 and double tap to wake

is there this function? clicking in icon on ambient display, opens the relative app or simply unlock phone?
thanks

Yes, it does have double tap to wake and also double tap to sleep, I use it all the time, but I don't use the ambient display feature (useless). However, please note that it does not unlock the phone, only wakes it up, you will then need to enter the PIN or fingerprint.
