Can anyone unlock the phone using home button ?
it only works with the power button for me. The home button works when the screen is on but not when , the screen is turned off the phone flashes for brief second then screen goes off, i noticed this before i downgraded and after it has always been like this, its like I am double tapping it when I am not . I get the same response if i double tap the power button
Just to be clear. Are you asking if the screen turns on and stays on after pressing the Home button while the screen is turned off?
I'm on unlocked 3.6.8 and if my screen is off, I can press the home button and the screen turns on (still have to slide to unlock or enter PIN). However, the screen does stay on for a period of time and I can sit and look at the lock screen, view the dynamic perspective on it, etc until the timer eventually shuts the screen off again.
If the sensor located below the front camera is covered up with a screen protector or anything else then you can have problems turning the phone on with the home button or the camera button.
All screen protectors with a hole for the sensor should work on the phone. Screen protectors without a hole for the sensor may or may not work. My screen protector doesn't have a hole for the sensor but I don't have a problem turning the phone on with the home button. But if I cover the sensor with my thumb I can not turn my phone on with the home button.

Is there is any other way to turn the screen back on other than pulling the stylus, hitting the power button or sliding the keyboard ?
I'm wondering if there is any software that turns on the screen by shaking the device or by any other means like holding it upright or tapping on screen you know??
The button on the top of the device?
well I'm still not used to holding it in one hand and try to reach the upper button with my finger, even the back cover slips off sometimes when I'm pressing the button. They should have picked another position like the call button maybe, something easier to reach.
I use a software to turn off the screen by putting the device in my pocket upside down, I found it so practical. but couldn't find a software turns on the screen yet
Maybe you could try this.
I've set my phone screen to not lock when I turn the screen off using the power button. But I'm finding that pressing the volume, menu, home or any button is then turning the screen back on again, which is great except my screen timeout is set to 30 mins, and my battery gets eaten when im hitting a button by mistake in my pocket.
Is there a way of locking all buttons except the power button to turn the screen on and off? Im used to using my phone this wy in WM, and hopefully I can mimic this use with Android too.
Thank in advance
sometimes when I press the home button and my phone exits the app, I get stuck at the home screen. the screen is non-responsive, as are the on screen buttons. I have to press the power button to lock the phone and then unlock it again. Does anyone know about this and does anyone have any recommendations?
That's happened to me before, too. It's like when you exited the app, it went straight to the screen lock - except the screen show the lock screen, nor does it dim.

While on a call with my headphones on, my S9 screen would lock and go black after about 20 sec. of no activity. I was unable to long press the home button (had to guess where it was b/c screen was all black) and no other buttons worked EXCEPT for the shortcut button which opened bixby. My only option to unlock the screen was to press the shortcut button and screen flip back to the phone screen. I have my unlock with home button setup on with hard press, screen timeout at 5 mins., and smart stay active. Anyone else have their S9 screen lock to all black while on a call with their headphones and not be able to wake it?
