On my wife's phone, she can swipe up from the lock screen and be instantly in her phone.
On mine, I always have to put the pin in.
I have my house as a trusted place so it should always stay unlocked. I've put my actual house as well as whoever Google Maps thinks I am but still have to out a pin in.
I usually use the power button to turn the screen off, but so does the wife so that isn't it.
Thanks

HI,
Is there a way to really lock the phone from dialing last number? I mean,if I forgot to lock the phone and put the phone in my pocket. It dials my last number. Is there a way to prevent that besides remembering to lock the phone first.
Also, if its locked in my pocket, can the screen or buttons have a slighter delay from coming on to slide and unlock. I am trying to keep a longer battery life
Lastly, when I am on a call, and I press OK on the call and end up on the main menu while putting the phone back to my face, my face seems like it clicking on stuff. Is there a cab or tool to fix that so when you put the phone back to your face it does not start to engaged stuff.
Thanks

hi, is my question not valid? or am i not explaining it correctly?
1. I think it's easier to just remembering press the "hang up red button" before you put it in your pocket. It is that simple which you do not need an app for that.
2. By doing that will probably not save you much battery power imo.
3. There is a distance detector built-in right next to the battery charging indicator. Your screen is supposed to lock when you picked up a call and put the phone close to your face.
You can do a simple test just to cover the sensor or detector while you are on the phone with others. If your screen does not lock and goes completely blank, there is probably a problem with the sensor.
Hope these help.

Thank you ! I understand
Had to use Google Nav to get across town tonight, after sunset. I usually drop the phone in my center console after it locks location and begins giving directions. On my old Moto Droid, I could turn the screen off and just listen to the voice directions.
On the Thunderbolt, it seems to keep the screen on, regardless of what the time out is set for. If I hit the power button, the screen turns off, then powers back on in a second.
This is just a complete waste of battery. If I was sitting the phone in a car dock, it'd be different, but this is a waste. Anyone experiencing this, or know how to get the screen to turn off when Navigation is active?
idk if this works but have you tried hitting the home button to get out of google nav (while it's still running) then hit the power button?
I have experienced the same feature. It doesn't bother me too much though cuz I have my phone plugged in.
I bet the above idea works.
this is not a signature I type it in every time maybe sent from my phone or my computer

It only keeps the screen active if you are in the navigation program. Just back out, or go to any other screen and it will turn the screen off normally. Working as intended.

Have to test this. Thanks.
I have experienced the same issue with the thunderbolt. The screen stays on weather I have the phone plugged in or not.
I see hitting the home button as more of a workaround than a solution here. It's easier for me while driving to turn the display on and off with one physical button.
I'm hoping that cyanogenmod will fix the issue when it's released but I feel like there should still be a way to set the screen to stay off when the power button is pressed in navigation.
I think its a feature, keep screen alive. As mentioned, going to home screen allows you to put it to sleep, but you cannot while navigation is active.
I can see your point though, keep it off, then a quick on shows you where you are without the need to open the app from the tray.
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with LRX21O on my Nexus 5 32 GB. I installed it on day one and everything went fine. I was able to press the power button to get to the lockscreen then either swipe right to phone, left to camera, or up to unlock, or just leave it alone to re-lock after checking my notifications.
I then turned on a PIN lock under security and played with it a bit to see if it could use my FitBit One as a Smart Unlock device (no dice because it doesn't do a bluetooth pairing, it just syncs). So... I turned the PIN back off.
I now have no lockscreen. Pressing 'power' just sends me straight to whatever was happening when the screen turned off. I've tried turning various screen lock methods on and off and goofing with it that way, but I can't get a password-free lockscreen to show up again! ARGH!
EDIT: NEVER MIND I'M AN IDIOT
I had been chosing 'none' instead of 'swipe' because I went to a list called security->screen lock and was figuring it was a "security" setting (swiping does not equal security). I somehow did not see Swipe even though I looked at the screen with Swipe on it like 47 times.
Just curious if anyone has figured out a way to make the home button not turn on the screen. Drives me crazy every time I pull the phone out of my pocket and the has turned on and some app has opened.
If you want to prevent apps from opening then enable the fingerprint scanner option. This way the phone won't be unlocked while in your pocket, and you won't have to worry about apps accidently opening.
Also, the fingerprint reader on this phone is blazing fast. It is the fastest way I've seen to unlock any Android phone from a lock screen, so honestly everyone should be using it. It's no more inconvenient than pressing the power button.
My wife and I got a couple pixels back on black Friday, they've both been great. My wife switched from Apple so she enjoys pointing out all the things she doesn't like. She recently found one thing I can't explain. This works on both of our phones.
1. Phone locked, screen off
2. Press power button on side of phone. Phone goes to PIN unlock screen.
3. Try (unsuccessfully) to unlock using fingerprint scanner with an indirect finger. Use you pinky or whatever finger isn't loaded in your system yet
4. Message appears saying you've failed too many times, try again later
5. Swipe screen up.
6. Phone unlocks. Without ever entering your PIN!
Can anybody else repeat this? Google support chat is no help. I was told that if a factory reset doesn't solve the problem I would have to send the phones in for replacements.
Maybe you have smart unlock set up?

Mine doesn't do that. Swipe up after failing fingerprint gets me to PIN.
Smart lock
I have smart lock set to keep my phone unlocked at home, in my wife's car and when I have a set of ear buds connected. Neither of those three were near or connected when I tested this thoroughly last night at dinner and this morning at work
Mine doesn't do that. I have smart lock for my blue tooth devices.
My pixel does not do this,I get asked for my pin
Nope, I can't recreate this without smart lock being on. What happens if you just press the power button and then swipe up?
If you do your test in your home, it's normal to stay unlocked since you are in SAFE UNLOCK in your house.
