I can't seem to figure out if it's possible to activate S-Voice from the lockscreen with a double tap of the home button?
I don't want to burn by battery up using the voice wake for S-Voice on the lockscreen because the device is always listening.
I'm running Widget Locker, but I disabled it and still couldn't get S-Voice to activate from Lockscreen with double tap.
Am I missing something or is it just not possible?
It appears the only way to do this is in Security settings to turn the Unlock setting to NONE. Then in Widget Locker, enable the Allow Home Button option.
But then I believe there is no way to lock your phone. Seems the only way I can think of to access S-voice from lockscreen and be able to lock the phone is to add S-Voice to one of the docked apps on the lockscreen. But that didn't work, as S-voice won't do anything until you enter the lock code. Makes sense as S-Voice would give you access to opening a lot of apps and such on the phone.
So it seems I have to either live with the phone never being locked, or have to type a PIN or whatever to unlock it to use S-Voice.
Smart Lock App was the answer. Now I can double tap home for S-voice from lockscreen, but you need a pin to get into my email and Facebook apps. Not I just need to figure out anything else I need to lock. No sensitive data on the card. The main thing is not allowing anyone into anything they can make payments or access my cloud files. Guess I should lock Google Play since it has automatic payment of apps?
Hey there. I was wondering if it's possible to double tap to lock screen inside apps? For instance - I'm in a gallery and when I double tap it locks the screen.
The double tap lock screen function works fine when you're on the home screen, but not in any app.
Not that I know of since with Android, the app (activity) that has the focus on the screen accepts all the taps.
You could try swiping down near where the status bar would be to make it appear and then double tap that. That's how I get it to work with Nova launcher. Well, I don't have to swipe down since the status bar is there. I just double tap the status bar to turn off the phone.
I use knock to turn on the phone.
Use it with Nova as well.

Didn't even thought about it, I'll stick to this method for now. Thanks

There's also a reason they don't have this feature added. What if you were trying to play a game and everytime you tapped the screen too quickly it turned off? Or you were going through some menu fast enough that it registered you tapping two different options as a double-tap. There would have to be some sort of per-app filter like the stock rom has for hiding the nav buttons in certain apps. Not saying this idea couldn't work, because if you or someone else ever gets it working I'd be glad to use it!

That's true, but I was asking the question because when my phone is flat on the table or something with gallery opened, it's uncomfortable to slide your finder to the back of the phone to lock the screen so I wanted to know if there's a chance to lock it with tapping. But when I'm playing games, it's different story - I already have my fingers on the back of the case so it's no longer uncomfortable to lock it.

That's where I'd say swipe down to show the notif bar and then double tap the notif bar. That's what I do so I don't have to pick up the phone to turn off the screen. Then, using a knock pattern, I can turn on and unlock the phone via the knock pattern. Don't have to double tap the phone to wake it up and then unlock it (either via pattern or pin). Instead, with knock, just knock the pattern and it turns on and unlocks all at once. Love it!

Yeah. Like I said previously, I'll be using this method
If you use Xposed and G3 tweakbox, there is an option to double tap the nav bar to lock the screen as well.
This will give you a place at the top and bottom of the display to lock the screen when in an app (or using a launcher replacement).

I don't see why to use that option to 'enable' it when it is already enabled and working in default.

By default it works on the status bar (top of the screen). The option in G3 tweaksbox allows it to work on the Nav bar (bottom of screen) as well which is not enabled by default.

Oh then it's a nice option to enable then.
I got confused about the nav bar, I thought it was the status bar.
But the tweaksbox requires root which I don't want to do :s.
You don't need to pull down the notification bar at all to double tap to turn the screen off.
You just double tap the very top of the screen where your notification bar would be.
why cant i dismiss notifications on the pulldown menu from the lock screen? when it lights up my phone is locked. its just a facebook notification, i swipe it to dismiss it.. but it doesnt dismiss.. i have to unlock my phone, and dismiss it that way.
is there a setting i can do to fix this?

To start - I do know that there are several ways to prevent lock screen notifications.
1) In the main Notifications settings I have options for "On the lock screen":
- "Show all notification content"
- "Don't show notifications at all"
Of course this is all or nothing, so it isn't really very flexible.
2) Then, if I turn on Power notification controls I can set an app to "Level 2" which includes:
- Prevent full screen interruption
- Never peek
- Never make sound or vibrate
- Hide from lock screen
- Show at the bottom of the notification list
However this is almost totally useless as if I choose to restrict an app to Level 2 because I don't want it on the lock screen, I lose the ability for those notification to have any real type of visibility outside of the lock screen.
It appears that stock N has a switch for each app to control whether that app can show notification on the lock screen or not. Here is one such example.
This is very problematic for an app such as Gmail (or any mail app). I want my e-mail notifications to always make a sound/vibrate, etc...but I don't want the details of the e-mails to show in the lockscreen.
Now I have noticed that if I set a lockscreen with a secure option (other than "swipe"), that there is an option to hide notifications with secure content. In this case, my mail notifications show up without details and simply say "content hidden."
This last option gets me a reasonable result, but it requires me to set a secure lock screen. I realize that without a secure lockscreen anyone can simply open your phone and read the e-mail anyway...but it would be very nice to have the options from stock N that simply allow you to disable a particular app's ability to just show on the lock screen.
Ideas?
You must not of understood the settings. What you mentioned was exactly what your trying to achieve.

That setting is applied per app and would disable notifications from that app on the lock screen.
Update:
I think I see the confusion. Your accessing the Global Notifications settings and not individually selecting the app before changing that setting. The one you found controls all Notifications. Go into the app like this and change the setting per app.
(GOTO Settings>Notifications>Select App you want and then set On the Lock Screen to Do not show notifications at all(on the lock screen, this app only))
Correct me if I'm wrong but you just want no notifications from a particular app, only on the lock screen but want normal notifications to work while it's not locked. This would achieve that.
Is it possible to double tap open and go directly to the notification from the lock screen on the Fold 3?
I can't seem to get it to work system forces me to swipe open my phone first to open them
I've been trying to figure out the same thing. Coming from Moto I was used to being able to do this. What I have found so far is that after double tapping the notification it asks me to swipe to unlock and then the app is opened. Unfortunately, I cannot say that this works each time, but it has worked with singular notifications and when there are numerous notifications on the lock screen and I tap the one I want to see. Long story short I cannot duplicate the action each time so for the explanation from someone else would be welcome.
