This may sound like a daft question, but is there any way my fingerprint to unlock the screen, if I've not turned on fingerprint security? I don't ever use pin or fingerprint protection, but like how quickly it wakes the phone once it's picked up

Nº.
Would also like to see that option...
Hi, I hate having i screenlock, be it password, pattern or fingerprint - it's just to uncomfortable, especially being lefthanded and having a flipcover.
But, I'd still like to use fingerprint authentication in certain apps, like my bank's app. However it doesn't seem possible to activate the scanning functions and registering prints without having a screen lock active.
Does anyone know how to get around this (no root)?
I would also like to know as well. I am using Microsoft Next as my lock screen and I apparently am unable to only use the lock screen with the fingerprint scanner. I keep getting forced to have a pin or pattern which sucks.

You can pair your phone with a Bluetooth device, such as Bluetooth wristband, and enable Smart Unlock then you may bypass the PIN.

Sure, but then I'll have to walk around with some bluetooth thing. I don't want that, I just want to be able to use the fingerprint selectively, without it locking the phone.

Had never heard of Next, now I already love it - thanks!
I think that's not possible. Fingerprint adds a security layer, but if for some reason it's not supported by an app or if for any reason you cut your finger and your fingerprint it's not readable anymore, you must have a backup unlock method.
So, I didn't really know where to put this but since I have an S7 and a question, I might as well just do it here. Anyways... Is there a tweak/mod that goes along with Google Face Unlock? Like where your phone will just unlock after detecting your face? Because GFU still requires swipe to unlock once your face has been detected.
For me, it'll have to be the notification LED I really miss that. Had different colours for different apps and even people, so I knew who or what it was without even picking up my phone to check.
I also miss the fingerprint sensor on all the banking apps etc but that'll be resolved in due course once the developers switch to the biometric API for Face Unlock.
What is it for you?

+ 1 on everything you have statted.
I have not yet purchased the Pixel 4 xl
And dont know if I will
Definitely rather have a LED light than AOD for sure.
Only the original quality photos and videos backup but not really. I'm actually using my 100GB Google One storage which I hardly touched. At my current rate of 1GB per 12 days, I'll be needing more space in just under 3 years. [emoji23]

Hands down the finger print sensor. ? Unlimited Full Photo Backup as well. Wide angle selfie camera. I didn't think it was a huge deal on the 3 but I ended up using it quite a bit.
For sure LED notification and fingerprint sensor. I like the face unlock but also want to have the choice to not use it and use a fingerprint instead. There's many times I will pull my phone out just to see the time then POOF...unlocked. Ugh! lol
(yes, I know PIN/Pattern can be used in lieu of face unlock)

There is also a setting to face unlock then go to the "lock screen" rather than all the way in. That's what I do. So tap the screen to see notifications or face unlock then swipe up.
Settings -> Display -> Lock Screen Display -> Skip Lock Screen toggle : On skips directly to last screen used (like your home screen). Turn it off and Face Unlock goes to your lock screen and you just swipe up to then go to the home screen.
nothing. I thought I'd miss the fingerprint sensor, but I don't Face unlock is so fast it would be unlocked before I could place my finger. I would like an ultra wide lens and top bezel to shrink but that was not on the older models either...just hoping those 2 are done on P5
I have a TB on Google one, so not a huge issue for me with photos. I save original quality. I had my subscription last year as well.
Autofocus for the front-cam, no doubt...
Biometric API is really bugging me and I bet we could wait a very, very long time before Devs start actually updating for it.
Nothing really. I thought I'd miss the LED, but I haven't really noticed it being gone much. The fingerprint sensor some, but mainly because a lot of my apps use it. Definitely miss the convenience of it. I'll be very happy once they start using the new API. I sort of miss the metal back of the 2xl. But, wireless charging is awesome, so it's kind of a toss up.
I DEFINITELY don't miss the notch on the 3. I didn't think it bothered me, until I got this phone. Now I can't understand how I went a full year with it...
At least for as long as only a few apps support biometric unlocking, it definitely is the fingerprint scanner. But I'm sure it's only a medium-term loss, and we'll see more apps being able to use biometric unlock very soon.
TL, DR. Where is the download?
github.com/xubowenhaoren/OPLiftToWake/releases
What does it do?
This is a simple app to enable Lift To Wake for OnePlus 7 series.
It is not the Lift To "Ambient Display" in the stock Settings App; it enables the true Lift To "Lock Screen" like other phones.
Why do I want this feature?
You've probably already known that OnePlus, in Android 10, reveals the notification content on the lock screen after Face Unlock.
But to see those notifications, you either need to:
1. Pick up the phone and unlock with your finger at the Ambient Display. A two-step process.
2. Pick up the phone and press the power button. Again, a two-step process.
Now with the app, you can pick up the phone and the lock screen immediately shows up.
How does it do this?
It listens to the native system sensor (`oneplus.sensor.pickup`). In my testing, it is very power efficient.
What phones does it support?
I have tested this on a OnePlus 7T with Android 10. It should also work with other OnePlus 7 series.
Note that for earlier OnePlus phones, there is also a [pickup sensor] but with a different name.
If you want this app to work with earlier OnePlus phones, you should try replacing this line in `Utils.java` with the correct sensor name:
```
mSensor = Utils.getSensor(context, mSensorManager, "oneplus.sensor.pickup");
```
How do I use it?
You probably want to turn off the Ambient Display first.
After installing the app, turn on the "Lift To Wake" toggle.
You should also consider turning off the battery optimization of the app for a more consistent background performance.
Do I need Magisk for this?
No, it is root-free.
Credits
Much of the code is from the Lineage OS team.
Other code references can be found in the code comments.
Love this feature thank you!
Works like a charm ? thanks.
Awesome! will give it try, hope there is no battery drain.
Great to see! Cheers
It is still a 2 step procedure when i use face unlock along with fingerprint.
It should be a command that when I pick up the phone -> auto open lockscreen -> auto trigger face unlock.
When i want to use fingerprint, just tap to wake ambient display and unlock with fingerprint.
I really dont want to sacrifice FOD to use only face unlock.

This is the app for you then. Also, you don't lose FOD at the lock screen.

You dont get my point, bro. When you use both FOD and face unlock, this app just show the lockscreen when pick up. Then u have to choose putting your finger on FOD or pressing the face icon button on top of the clock to unlock.
My desire is that the app will trigger the face unlock automatically in that situation.

I am using a OnePlus 7T. In my case, when the lock screen lights up, Face Unlock automatically works and my new messages reveal their content.

I have both Face Unlock and fingerprints set up, but I mainly use Face Unlock. Hence the need for this app

Weird!!! Something prevents the app from triggering face unlock automatically. Maybe because of the pop up camera firmware in 7 pro.
Pocket detection doesn't appear to work on OP7 Pro. ? Great work tho!

My OP7T doesn't even have a pocket mode, so I can't test that for you. However, the original Lineage OS code had support for pocket mode. You could try to add it! :good:
It's cool. Kinda slow thought.
If I turn off the notification, will it keep running?
And thanks for it, really useful:good:

Yes, I've tested this.
Facing a minor problem. The app has to be opened up to function after deep sleep i:e in the morning. The battery optimization is off for the app.
Any ideas how to fix the issue.
Nice I love it. Great job sir. ?
