Hey guys, I've an Advent Vega, and would love if I could find a way to use the front camera to activate the screen when passing?
I'd leave it plugged in by the door, so as I'm leaving/coming home I can see the weather forecast and any tasks or emails waiting for me.
Any ideas guys n gals?

Use smart screen on/off app.. It uses proximity sensor to lock or unlock device.. you can probably Swype your hand at the sensor n unlock it..

That's aaalmost what would be ideal... just... i'd like it to be from the camera... for instance when I turn the coridor light on when I get home, or walk past it, so I can take a quick look passively without having to interact.
Anybody else got a suggestion? Maybe something paired with Tasker somehow?

One thing you must know if that your front camera cannot sense your motion or anything.. no hardware support for it.. It's just like how your eyes cannot detect smell..
At the max you can make use of your proximity sensor for that purpose..

Yes, I'm just wondering if there's a way to do it with a 3rd party app. Something that would keep the front camera turned on or take photos every second, and then continually process images for motion detection. Once detected, it would then activate the screen.

Awesome!
That's almost exactly what I'm looking for!
Coolness... now my old tablet can sit by the door and remind my pathetic brain of what I need to do (or what my gf has added to the calendar more than likely), give me a quick glance of recent emails, and show me the weather forecast so I don't get soaked .
Thanks for finding that!

You could also keep another smartphone on your person and have the two devices paired and set the phone left at home to wake up when the paired device comes within range.

I'm not certain, regardless of the setup you use, you need to be aware that nothing will work to do this if the device that you want to wake is in sleep mode or if the device has a screen lock enabled, no matter what you do. You'd have to permanently disable your pass/pin/pattern lock on the device that you want to wake remotely so that the device can stay in a state where it can detect the paired device when it approaches. You would still need to unlock the "normal" lockscreen that would normally require you to swipe the screen, but there is an option that automatically unlocks the screen when a paired "trusted device" is detected.
There are some options available that can wake the device when a paired device is detected, provided that the device to be woken is not in deep sleep or has a pass/pin/pattern lock enabled. Combine that with the "trusted device" option and it should do what you want and none of it should require root.
There is also a more complicated method to have the device set to wake when the paired device comes in range, but it requires writing some code and implementing the code on the device. But I think there is a way to do this with just enabling/disabling some settings, pairing the devices and setting the paired device that you will keep with you as the "trusted device", either via built in settings(if the device has them) or by installing an app that lets you connect the device as a "trusted device".
What is the android version on the device that you want to wake up remotely?
The tablet is TB-X606F on android 10 and my phone is on 12. I have disabled all kinds of screen lock, even the swip, so as soon and you press the unlock button you are presented straight away with the desktop. I can't though see any options around unlocking when paired, I'm going to put Tasker on the tablet and see if there is any options for screen unlock when in range and screen off when not in range. Failing that whole idea, all I can think of is using Flux to dim the screen to 0 when I turn the living room lights off at night effectively rendering the screen off at nighttimes?
Hi all,
I am using smart cover for my mate 7, my question is how can I customis or edit the smart cover lock screen to add for example extra page or open, dial, send SMS, open the open the call log or change the background!
Thanks
I had same question , tried many times but couldnt change smart cover picture . also i am unable to find smart lock ? having problem connecting bluetooth to my win 10 vaio, it is connected but i cant send data from phone to pc ! it fails . but i can receive from pc to phone.
Same problem for me with Lollipop on me MT7-LT10
I have upgrade my phone (in local) with the official B324 and i can't change the smartcover background, even when i try to change it by the theme menu, its always the picture with a bridge.
@ sabkt : the smart lock is for me in the "locksreen" menu in "other" section
One more here how we can change this ????
Same. I am done with Huawei. First they take years to update, we'll probably never even see Android 6. Their build quality equals total ****. I have had a replaced display by service center 2 TIMES NOW for screen bleed of whites and other lighter colors (in the middle of the screen, random places, etc. And then they manage to screw up one of the things they got right. The old clock and music player were amazing.
Same problem ... no solution???
Same problem here, and the impossibility to change the background it's very annoying
Whilst I wish I could change the picture, I don't miss music from the lock screen. I use PlayerPro and the built-in Music would override it on the lock screen plus it was forever randomly starting (Presumably I was catching the lock screen accidentally).
I having the Same problem too. After the update, I only can see miss call and message notification. I not able to see other than that to notification. Does anyone know how to configure this?
Same problems with me.
Is there some third party app which can to change default bridge picture theme on lolipop?
Also annoyed by this new lock. Want to at least be able to change wallpaper there.

This seems to be a general problem for Huawei/Honor phones.
I can not adjust anything on my Huawei G8 smart cover screen either. It's not the background picture that annoyes me, but that no notifications are display (except that the phone is ringing). Luckily I can switch off the smart cover screen. This way I can see the notification bar at least. Since I have enabled to show the notifications with a swipe over the fingerprint sensor I can view the top most notifications w/o opening the cover.

Hi all,
Try the EMUI Theme Editor app on google play - i havent used it myself for the SmartCover, but it has got an option to change Smart Cover background. Has alot of other useful tools to change EMUI.
Anyone else having issues with the Night Shot mode?
It seems inconsistent in that it will either crash or produce a terrible low light picture.
Seems the following occurs for me (MHA-L09 stock firmware):
- load the camera app up and enter Night Shot mode, crashes (see pic 1 of it "processing") - though can see it is processing the low light and the image looks good, but it fails to process the image and save (also had to use another phone to take pic of it as was unable to screenshot it
- try and get back to the app after closing (clearing from memory) and cannot enter it
- reboot, open camera, take a few normal pics and then use Night Shot mode. Successfully captures and processes but the resulting low light image is terrible - full of noise! (see pic 2)
- After trial and error it managed to take a decent pic (see pic 3)
Pretty dam disappointed with this brand new device performing like this...
Hopefully an update could solve this?
Running MHA-L09C432B138
Are you using an sd card?
Try clearing camera data from app settings.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
I have tried both clearing the app data and not saving to SD card - just tried that now and it saved (didn't crash on processing) but saved a low quality 'noisy' image.
It's strange though, as whilst processing the image on the display looks great - it's the finished product that lets it down!
In night mode did you changed the iso or auto?
That's weird shouldn't be bad,all you can do is a factory rest and try.
If it's still noisy something is faulty,need a replacement.

Regrettably I missed out that detail! I think at the time of writing then I had restored back and so regarded that as 'stock', but I potentially suspect that restoring with Funky MAY be an aspect....
I am tempted to do a full system restore with HiSuite with pure stock (non-Funky) and test that out

As far as i know hisuite wont work for non Chinese phones.
Do a factory reset from settings,with stock recovery installed,it will do a low level format, could be ur internal storage is corrupted and this can help.

I have the same problem. I'm on stock (MHA-L29C432B138), SD-Card or internal storage, same result like in OP.
Edit:
I noticed something. When I take a picture and it shows "in progress" and wait until the lockscreen comes and relock the phone, the pic is taken. Sometimes the camera is still enabled, sometimes it's closed
I tried the same with my Mate 8 (NXT-L29C432B560) , it's the same result.
Looks like it is a Firmware (EMUI/Nougat) bug..
I have the same problem with night shot mode but after change the animation scale to 0.5 in developer option the problem solved. before that i set to off. sorry for my english.

Excellent suggestion. It also worked for me! I also changed the 3 animation settings (Window animation Scale, Transition animation scale, Animator duration scale) and set the value at 0.5x and the camera is now fine.
Excellent, thank you so much!!
Thanks so much! I'm new here, signed in just so I could say thank you since this solved my camera problem. Anyone have opinions after owning the Mate 9 for a while? I just got it to replace my Nexus 6P with battery issues- not sure I love it yet.
I'm amazed how well smartphone cameras in general, work, given their size.
A typical 8mp sensor, should be able to print an A3 (11x17) image, but who prints anymore?
They keep placing more and more sensors in these things. More megapixels, typically is only
good for crop/zooming. Increasing the sensors can sometimes backfire because the signal to
noise ratio (crosstalk) increases due to the very small spacing between signal paths.
I wish they would just increase the SIZE of the sensor, put a real 5-10x optical zoom lens on the back
similar to the non phone Samsung Zoom a few years back. But with the trend still that phones have
to be "slim, sexy, colorful & stylish", don't see that happening.

Had anyone experienced their device being unlocked while in their pocket. Mine had several times, even some quick toggles have been changed from where I had them set. Apps opened, not just opened but digging into multiple button presses. Even today mi wife says I called her twice while phone in pocket. I use fingerprint security with pin backup and somehow phone is bypassing both of theses in my pocket. I've tried numerous times to replicate out of my pocket with no avail. I'm on stock TMobile no mods or rooted.

It happened many times for me.. you might be having Smart Lock enabled... even then, proximity sensor on OnePlus 7 Pro isn't good.. but disabling smart Lock should fix your issue

Weird. Do you have fingerprint lock enabled?
Yes I do. From what I can find on the web previous OnePlus devices had a Pocket Mode which is not present on the 7 pro. But viewing T-Mobiles website under settings list it shows it is in the utilities section under settings. But not on my phone. I even searched for it with the search option at the top of settings menu.
I've also noticed that in settings under utilities there is a section called app locker, when I click on it, it asks for pin and then just resorts back to the utilities menu giving me no option to add apps to list. It does nothing.

What Pocket Mode did (I had it on my 3T) was ignore screen touches, if the proximity sensor sensed an object nearby (assuming it was your pocket).
Even without Pocket Mode, a press on the screen, or movement of the gyro should only turn on the "ambient display" screen. You can't do anything from that screen except scan your fingerprint (which you confirmed you have fingerprint security enabled). So I'm puzzled how the butt dials or other things occurred in your pocket.
I suppose it's possible the power button is being accidentally pressed in your pants. Which brings up the lock screen - slightly different from the ambient display screen, as it gives access to the quick toggles, camera and voice assist. But it would seem like a strange combination of accidental power button pressing and screen touches happening in your pants, to make the things you mentioned happen. TWSS

Hi guys,
I have the Note 10 plus and my wife bought last week the note 10 lite.
The lite have a circle around blinking around the front camera and the plus don't have this.
I searched everywhere and din't find an answer about what is that....
Any help?!
Did you buy the 10 lite used? I have a 10lite with aod notify installed it shows a ring around camera for notifications. So if you bought it used maybe its installed. Other than that not sure. Camera also has a lighted ring when you switch between front camera and rear camera, but its white.

No. It's brand new.
And I have the AOD notify in my Note 10 plus.
It's like a sensor. And just happens with the screen on.
The animation around the front camera appears when you are set to face unlock.

Same situation here, it has nothing to do with face unlock or notification system, tried everything, always the same thing. Its like popping up around front camera every 5-6 seconds when on lock screen, and sometimes when scrolling through certain apps. Maybe some kind of camera-cut-out-pixels protection? Its an odd software behavior without any explanation from Samsung.
Maybe your smart stay is turned on, try to disable it under Motion and Gestures in the settings.
It appears during a video call too, and looks like a larger circle, like that one the other samsung products.
Also sry, for being off topic, i wanted to know how is your s pen working, because the nib of mine feels a little loose.
It is as @j.canlas mentioned. Smart Stay is tuned on, it checks if you are facing directly on the screen or not (to lock the display). I also kept on searching for what it was when the device was new to me, it bothered me a lot.
You can disable/enable it under Settings > Advanced Features > Motions and Gestures.

This is the correct explanation for the infrequent circle around the camera.
