Hi every one.

It shouldn't need a pin unless you just rebooted the phone. In fingerprint scanner settings, do you have the box checkmarked to "Wake up screen"?
If you do then you might have to just reset the security settings and it should fix it. Just turn off all screen security and set it to swipe unlock. Then redo your fingerprints and it will ask if you want to use a pin when restarting (I usually select no). Setting it up like that should do what you want. I just did this 10 min ago after fresh rom flash
Mine got this saying I have 2 have something of I do use fingerprint

You can choose any of the option. It just as a backup soultion, when your fingerprints aren't working perfectly while unlocking.

also on a reboot it would always first ask you to unlock using pattern/pin after the first time then you can use fingerprint to unlock...
also yes some screenoff would prompt you back to use pattern instead of fingerprint if you are inclined towards towards custom kernels then try out elementalx along with his button mapper which you could use multiple gestures to put your screen off and unlock without pattern....(after every reboot pattern/pin is a mandate as of now)
In Marshmallow, when apps shut off the screen, a pattern will be required to unlock afterwards. This is supposedly a security measure. There are two workarounds that I know of:
1.) Some apps "shut off and lock" the screen by basically turning off the screen and shortening the time-out to the shortest time possible, typically 30 seconds. This way, you won't have to enter a pin or password since the app didn't technically turn off the screen, it just made you wait till it timed out. The problem with this is that means for those seconds while it's counting down, you can't use your phone. Very annoying.
2.) If you have root, apps can turn off and lock the screen by simulating a press of the power button. For example, Nova launcher uses this method. If you have root, you can set a gesture (like double tap on homescreen) to turn off and lock, which will then simulate a power button click and therefore not require pin or password when you turn on your screen again. This is what I use. If you don't have root, Nova still has this option, but it will use administrative rights instead of root, and thus still require pin or password the next time you turn on your screen.

I was excited about this. Keeps the screen off unless I press the button! Cool! I didn't realize you lose notification vibrations too. Not so useful for me. Anyone know how to keep the screen off unless I press the button and keep my notification alert vibrations?

Then whats the point of keepign the screen off if you are just gonna turn the screen on to check it. You're at the movies, watch the movie.
I would like this feature too. During work or driving at night, I don't necessarily want the screen coming on all the time. But if I got a vibration, I could choose to check it, but if I was in the middle of something I could do it later. The point is, I want to use the theatre mode just to stop it from turning on when I don't want it too (ie making turns while driving)
I don't have the update yet, but can't you disable the wrist gesture new and keep always on screen to off to get what you're looking for?

What I wanted was for the screen to remain off but still have notifications. The screen would only come on if I pressed then button. If you disable wrist gesture that helps but I'd still like it to not come on for any reason without pressing the button.
Still need a vibrate and no screen mode

I need this while driving or in a movie theatre. Maybe it should be a separate feature setting for notifications like "only vibrate+no screen on". The theatre mode is cool but I still need an answer to the above use case which a setting would help too.

in the meantime, uncheck the "Mute connected phone" off, that way ur phone still vibrates
Yes. The new feature tilt to wake up on android wear. Just uncheck it. The screen will not come on unless u tap the screen or hit the button. But you will still receive notifications.
Pushing the button on the watch twice will also activate the theater mode without having to go into the settings.

i just tested this. FYI you have to be pretty deliberate with your button pushes. a quick push doesn't seem to work. you have to PUSH and then PUSH again. also three pushes enables sunlight mode.
Seems like this is were Priority mode kicks in. Set it to two hours and only get the important stuff.
There are some no-brainer options that still aren't available for Android Wear. I've had Sammy watches and now my Moto 360. While I can get away with wearing the Moto at work a little more than my Sammy watch, one option I really miss is simply disabling the tilt to wake option. My Sammy watch would light up when I had a notification, and stay off any other time. No need to worry about it coming on while driving, typing, or simply moving my arm (unless I got a notification). I would get 2+ days battery life out of it, and I work Production Support at my job. Constant notifications about tickets being opened, file transfers completing, etc. Some things about this OS still baffles me.

also, go in to "block app notifications" and choose apps to block if you're getting too many notifications. if you use your phone for work and are getting constant ticket updates, etc., create a rule in outlook to move those emails to another folder and then turn notifications off in the email client on your phone. that will reduce the volume of notifications.
i only receive notifications on my primary inbox. since returning from lunch, i have 40+ emails in my other folders and only 6 came in through my primary inbox.

Yep - Outlook rules in full effect - I send priority notifications via key words in the subject, sender, etc (files failing to decrypt, not received, ticket opened, etc) as a text. The rest get filtered into each client's folder. Good advice, thankfully I'm doing that already, haha.
Thanks again for the help.

Can you please tell me if it's something device-specific or maybe Android-version-specific? I have Android 5.0.2 on the phone and Sony Smartwatch 3 (with Wear 5.1.1 on it), and the Blocked App Notifications activity in my Android Wear application is empty, i.e. it doesn't include the options on the screenshot.
Ok, found it. It's currently available when you tap the device name on Android Wear app's main activity.
Hi
My phone is setup with pattern unlock, with a 3 min relock time. However, once unlocked, if I turn the phone off and back on (standby like when you put it in your pocket), it always come up with a swipe screen and I have to swipe up. Never had to do this before with other phones, Note 4, S6 Edge Plus etc.. is this an AT&T 'feature'??
Thanks

It appears that the note 5 will always fall back to a "swipe" unlock when other lock methods are excluded (and "none" isn't the selected option.) The same thing happens with a fingerprint unlock if within the timeout or if the phone has a BT connection to a "trusted device."
I'm not sure if this is a samsung decision or something with lollipop. I can understand the reasoning (which probably is that unless you specified NO unlock mechanism, the lock screen should always show to prevent unintended taps.)

I know this is a dumb question, but are you trying to unlock in less than 3 minutes? Pattern unlock will only show up after 3 minutes since that's how you have it set up.
Yeah but that's not the problem. If I unlock before the 3 mins it comes up with a swipe to unlock screen. So if I close it, and open it a few seconds later, swipe to unlock screen. Looks like this:

i never had the lock screen on.. all of a sudden it has appeared and won't go away. i have it on none but it still appears. help
The infamous "lock screen bug" is plaguing my N920A note5 (like my Note3 and Note4) whenever I have fingerprint lock enabled.
When I tap the HOME button to unlock the phone, the screen instantly switches off (as though I pressed the power button to lock it).
This cycle keeps happening until I leave the phone as is for about 10 seconds then try again.

As the topic says, the glance view and double tap stopped working after shutting down there phone and leaving it in charge. Turned back on noticed that some features like glance view, double tap to wake up, vibrate on tap wouldn't work. Fixes vibrate on tap by turning off and on again, recalibrated phone still the glance view and double tap to wake up isn't working with screen time out being 1 minute and it dims and turns off in seconds.
Any one know this problem or a fix may be. Kindly put your effort and thoughts I to the topic thank you.

Thanks, it worked. The knock code was turned off.
I have no idea what went wrong.
I just noticed that even my time is in 24 hour format. I never set it that way. Surely something went wrong.

That was really helpful. But my problem is wierd. But first is there a away to turn Glance view off or on. My problem is it doesnt respond to knockOn while screen is off. But what I noticed it sometimes catches some swipes or touches to turn the screen on. No Glance view niether knockOn is working like supposed to. I already did a reset. I did removed the screen protector and case and restart still no luck. Please any idea. It used to work till a couple a weeks when I changed my UI launcher to pixle launcher. So i thought it was the problem but after reset no luck.
One more thing which is the most annoying . I used to unlock my phone using knockcode while screen was off. Now every thing went to a disaster. I also tried contacting LG they want me to send it for repair And I cant just live without a phone.
After disabiling knockon. It still wake up by touching it or swiping down. It doesnt change its behavior. But what I noticed is covering th front sensors does stop it from waking .
Update: After testing. I noticed the problem. When I double tap for knockon. It takes 2 to 5 seconds for the screen to respond and turn on. Glance view same behavior but still hard to get it right I have to touch and hold and wait then swipe down and wait. But what didnt even work knock code while sleep. Anyways the delay in respond is really bad. It never took that long.

Did you find a solution for this problem, my phone is behaving the same as yours and i even had it send to the service at lg but it came back the same, they said thet they change the motherboard in the phone.
I noticed that if i change my knock knock code to a pattern or just not useing a double tap in the code (just a single tap on every square) it enables the double tap to wake but still w/ a problem.... the glance dosen't work but if i touch the screen just once it truns on wich is very annoying because it turns the screen on in my pocket and ther it gose the battery.
I'm very sorry for my bad english.

I wish I were able, But not. I use dual boot with linageOS as daily driver I switch to the stock ROM in sec when I need to take photos. And back to LinageOS.
Thats not a solution. But no other I could do.
Last time I will use an LG product.

I have exactly what you have. To stop the phone waking itself in your pocket, I disabled KnockOn. This means we can't double tap to wake but it's better than a dead battery. Scroll up as someone has shown steps on how to enable/disable this.
I've had this happen for a while now, I've had the phone pretty much a year, and I've noticed some issues that I've found on other LG phones dating back to the EnV Touch.
First problem, more frequent, and more annoying:
Pretty much every other time I push the back button to shut the screen off, it plays the little tone, and the screen fades, and then pops back awake. Sometimes, I need to push the button 2-3 times for the screen to turn off and stay off. I also have knock-on disabled (Activity Launcher app allowed me to find that menu in settings, which for some reason Verizon decided to hide from the main settings menu). The reason I did this was to, in theory, save battery from not having the digitizer always on and actively scanning for taps.
Second problem, more rare, but has happened from the start:
Sometimes when waking the screen up, the screen will show up as if it was melted, just a bunch of various colored vertical lines. Swiping does nothing, so it's not like I can unlock the phone blindly. I have to push the sleep button to turn the screen off, and push it again to wake up and get my normal lock screen. I've had this happen even on the last LG phone I owned before this one: the EnV Touch. See pic for reference, ironically I had to use an iphone to take a picture of the melted screen on this phone, so pardon the crappy quality image.

If the pic doesn't show (not showing currently in preview, I have it on my google drive, since IDK how to manually upload a pic to post it), let me know and I can try to put it somewhere else on the net to host it. Since my account is new, I cannot post the direct URL to the pic on google drive, but if anyone PM's me I can send it.
I'm hoping either of these are known issues, at least if it's not happening to just me, then maybe it'll get fixed in an update, although I have my doubts.
In case anyone asks, this is running STOCK VS98625A firmware, never rooted.
Thanks in advance, I think my 1 year warranty expires in 5 days, I'm curious if I should just bring this up to VZ.
Ive had that first problem (hardware lock button putting the phone into sleep & back on in an instant) ever since I can remember - I have knockon enabled because i find it worth the bit of drain.
I use this great app Screen Off & Lock to have a soft key in a convenient place on the home screen and helps me lock the phone without having the rely on the weird button behaviour. Device is VS986 & this has been the issue on 13A, 24C as well as 25A. Living with it!
Thanks, I'll look into that as an option, I just really wish LG would get their things in order. They've never seem to have a stable rom, even on old flip phones.
Another issue I'm noticing is that when I lock my screen, and it wakes itself up and stays lit up for ~30 seconds, the lighting will flicker dimly every 10 seconds or so, like it's trying to put itself to sleep and failing. I should just make a video of all these issues, lol.
I have the 2nd problem mentioned. I get vertical colored lines sometimes. For me it only happens when I plug or unplug the charger when the screen is off. The plugging/unplugging wakes the screen in this funky mode. I turn it off, turn it on, then all is fine. Happens maybe once per 20 times.
Wow, I have the same issue! The only thing is, it only happens when I unplug it. I wish I knew how to fix it though, because sometimes it can be annoying
A couple of questions:
- Is there anyway to disable car mode on this device? I am unable to find the app to disable or force stop it.
- Will google assistant find its way into Android Auto?
Thanks,
Stan
How did you enable car mode? I've moved a magnet all over trying to find the reed switch to trigger car mode and I can't find it. I found the switch to shut the screen off but that doesn't help. I have some tasker profiles that turn on when the phone has been docked in my car. These worked great on my Moto X, but since I can't find the dock reed switch on the Pixel I can't use them.

Once you have plugged your phone into the USB port on your car, AA launches and disables all control of your phone from the screen. The only interface you have available is what AA presents you with on the touch screen of your car. As this is done for safety reasons, there's no way to disable this feature.
Voice commands still work for my phone in my cars. Touch the microphone icon. I'm not sure about Google Assistant, because I don't use it.
I use tasker to enable car mode when I connect to bluerooth. That way I can have car home ultra as my home screen while driving. It makes the navbar huge and takes away the recents button.
It also seems to break Assistant. If I hold home, the screen grab comes up, the mic sound activates, then listening immediately stops. I know this because my podcast player will pause when google assistant is launched and resume when I am done with her. In car mode, the podcast stops, the beep happens, and then the podcast immediately resumes, nothing pops up and no response to anything I say.

On first press of home I can choose car home ultra or android auto. Choosing Android auto starts to launch then closes quickly (I don't have AA in my car). I assumed if I had AA in car than this would connect to it but I know nothing about it.

I assumed if I had AA in car than this would connect to it but I know nothing about it.

Kind of. I use AA for navigation. Launch Google Maps on my phone > plug into USB port on my car and AA automatically launches on my phone. Within a second or two the phone touch screen is locked, and you can't do anything with it directly until you unplug it. Only control is via car touch screen.
FYI: The app "Car Mode Control" by ig88 will simply toggle car mode on and off.
I've used "Car Dock Home v3" as my launcher while driving for years now (MotoX 2013). Moving to the Pixel has broken voice commands while in Car Mode. I'd just assumed that the new Assistant would be even better than before. When I say "OK Google" I hear the chime, but nothing happens.
Hands free use of my phone is disabled while driving, really? This is a major disappointment with my pixel.

Intersting. Mine does not work in that manner. I can drag down from the top of the screen while in AA and tap the notification to turn off auto mode.

If you're rooted, then I can give you a framework-res.apk with car mode disabled permanently. Or tell you where to go to mod it on your own.
You must be rooted though and have a good root browser like Root Explorer.
I've downloaded the 'Drivemode' app which work very well for me, you can have it set to enable drive mode when you connect to your cars Bluetooth or alternatively have it set to start when it relates you are driving.
The app will read out your messages, even whatsapp, and will let you run navigation underneath a translucent music app of choice.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip.
