In losing my mind trying to figure out how to disable "Helpful hint on the always on display. "Hard press or double tap the home button to turn in the screen"
Mine went away after doing what it said a few times. Try doing the hard press one time and the double tap another. If that doesn't work then try them both but more than once.
It's finally gone!!! I disabled the home button showing in AOD as soon as I got my phone. Never did the double tap function, enabled it and double tapped now it's gone! Thanks for you help!

I find it very easy to hit the lock button by accident, particularly when turning the phone horizontally or when passing it to someone to show them something. Is there an existing or a possibility of a tweak where the screen locking would only happen by, say, a double press of the lock button?
So far i'm loving my new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (i317m). I've modified the setting to bypass the lock screen when i click the Home button.
The issue i'm seeing now is the screen is blanked, i click the home button, i can see the app i was using before the blanking BUT the screen promptly flashes taking me to the Home screen.
Is there any way to have the lock screen removed AND to have the home button NOT take me to the home screen IF when the home button is pressed the screen was blanked? A simple IF conditional.
Thanks for any help.
I'm trying to understand your AND statement "AND to have the home button NOT take me to the home screen IF when the home button is pressed the screen was blanked"
The first statement is easy, just pick no lock in settings but + AND statement?

Thanks so much for the response.
Yes the "AND" part is the tough part and the reason i asked it. I will clarify. The situation is this. I am well aware of the option Lock Screen >> Screen Lock | None. This was a useful option when i discovered it some time back as now when my unit blanks and i go to hit the home button to wake it up, the unit wakes and take me automatically to the Home screen bypassing the annoying Lock Screen. Terrific.
For those of us who have this option set will quickly notice an issue. If, for instance, one had Google Talk app running before the screen blanked, and later returned to wake up the unit by clicking the Home button (expecting to continue within GTalk), he will briefly see the GTalk app and then it will disappear and will now see the Home screen. One must now navigate back to the app.
I would like the Home button, if pressed to wake up the unit, to remain in the current application. This would be similar to the Power Button functionality. I'm hoping there is a "fix" for this nuisance.
UPDATE: It seems Samsung recognized this nuisance / bug and has corrected it within 4.1.2 but sadly it wont be available thru my Carrier for at least another 6 months (Canada is a bit slow with updates).
** I still would appreciate any work around in the meantime
UPDATE:
I neglected to mention i had the settings of S-Voice modified disabling opening S-Voice if the double click of the Home button occurred. I did this to speed up any Home button clicks.
I just discovered if i have this settings enabled it appears to prevent the click of the Home button to wake from exiting the existing app. The prob now is my Home button takes 1 sec (as opposed to 0.4 secs) to snap back to home when pressed. Sheesh.
Ugly but it is a start.
So I was prepping the tablet to sell it.
Did the factory reset.
Then when it booted back up to the "welcome to Samsung" screen, I somehow must have pressed a button that enabled some weird feature.
Now whenever I press a button, the tablet speaks out in a voice to let me know what that button is.
But that's all it does. None of the buttons actually do anything.
lol what did I enable? I spent some time and couldn't figure out how to disable it back to regular mode?
EDIT: As soon as I gave up and asked for help, I finally sort-of figured it out.
When you press a button and it tells you what the button is for (but nothing happens), you just double-tap the button and then the button works. I was able to reboot and kick off another factory reset which should get rid of that feature.
For future reference, it's probably something in accessibility (under settings) that you accidentally enabled.
Hello there.. I tried various custom roms on my oneplus 3 everything works great but oy issue is when i press power button or double tap to sleep the screen then wont turn on even by double tap or by power button.. Full black screen and sometimes the capacitve button lights appears thats it.. And later i need to restart the device and again if i keep my device sleep then again same issue.

OK, dumb question...
If I have smart lock enabled (I know that it has it own set of problems, but not what this one is about), and the S9 is unlocked on the home wifi (it is) why do I get the lock screen that I have to swipe away after pressing the home button on the AOD screen?
I also have an S8+ (android 7) that I do not have to swipe away the lock screen, as it only appears if the phone is locked.
Sorry about the title, I hit enter by mistake...

Just go to settings -> display -> navigation bar and check that "unlock with home button" is turned on.
