[Q] Is there a way to diable the power button from waking the Note?

I would prefer to only use the home button to wake my phone. Often I am hitting the power button when adjusting the volume.
Thanks!

Are you rooted?

yes

Simple solution then.
Basically, use an app like Root Explorer (I use Rom Toolbox) to go into your system files.
The file path for what you're looking for is: system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
gpio-keys.kl is a key layout file. Editable with any text editor on your phone, however, be sure you save it with the same extension.
On the line that starts with "Key 116 POWER WAKE", simply delete the word "WAKE". Save the file (make a backup, TRUST ME). Reboot the phone.
All done.
I know this because I did it just yesterday when I kept cutting it on accidentally.

EDIT::: JUST tried this myself to make sure I wasn't putting foot in mouth HOWEVER. it didn't seem to work. It works with the home key... but maybe the POWER key is a bit different. Any input from anyone else?

That's to disable home buttons wake but not the power button.

Thanks for the insight, however, I sourced that out already and tried it a dozen times and the power button still wakes the phone?

I noticed. I think the POWER function is attached to WAKE somehow.

Careful ...If you disable the power button wake feature, and mess up the file structure, you may not be able to turn the device on or off.
And a nandroid restore of the previous build will be needed.
Not trying to insult anyone's intellect here, just pointing out a possible problem and hate to see people suffer like that....g

Disabling the pwer button wont effect it from an off state. Also long press would still be intact so theres access to the power menu. You know I might be interested in this as well. Ill watch this thread unfold

I use an app that turns then phone off by gestures over the proximity sensor, or in my case when I close/open my flip cover. It's called proximity screen off pro and has an option to not recognized the power button being used at certain times, which you can set up.
Hope this helps.

Quick peek at time and date with screen off

I accidentally came across this feature that I've never heard of or seen before. When the screen is off tap once then drag your finger down a bit and you'll get a little heads up.

I love this feature and the knock features as well. They're awesome. But LG should have given the user a choice whether to use them. Seems like it would be very simple to have a setting for these and whether they are active or not based on the user preference.

I thought my screen was having issues too, and I agree - would be nice to have the option to enable or disable this as battery life is undoubtedly taking a slight hit.

Does this work on the AT&T version? I've tried like 50 times and haven't got this to display a single time...

This is awesome on the Verizon version. I have seen this flash a few times and not know why. That is super awesome.
It is basically a swipe down / hold motion. Once you remove your finger, it turns back off.

I dont seem to have this function on TMo version. If I swipe down the blue light flashes for a second, but thats it.

you have to have a lock screen on to use

It's been confirmed that and the multiple users (guest mode) features have been excluded from the AT&T version. I looked a couple of days ago, and was disappointed to learn this.

Boo damn AT&T

I was skimming through the user manual included in my T-Mobile box and it's actually listed in there. That is how I found out about it. I'm guessing it's in everyone's manual probably.

Whoa.. I didn't even get a user manual..

FYI. Not only do you have to have a lock screen, but the screen has to be locked. I have my lock timer (Settings | Display | Lock screen | Lock timer) set for 5 min after screen timeout, and for those 5 minutes the peek doesn't seem to work.

I just have swipe to unlock and it works. You just pull down from the top just like you normally would but with the screen off. The led will turn on and just let go and pull down again and it will show.

Anyone care to guess why AT&T would omit this feature?
I'm bummed about it but guess when root or twrp is available I will be able to add it back.

Why must carriers mess with features of a vendors phone? I wish there was a ROM I could use to get back to factory for a base LG G4 (like the developer version of HTC One M8 I used to have).
I must have disabled a page and a half of AT&T apps that all require some form of payment to use...

Suprising Little Things with the Phone

This is such a great phone! I'm continued to be surprised by little features here and there.
Here are some of my favorite surprises that I've recently discovered.
(*) Pressing the home button three times, will reduce the size of the display. Similar to the reachability feature on iPhone.
(*) The calendar icon actually shows the current date. And, the clock icon actually shows the current time. Love how Samsung is paying attention to these little details.

Don't need to wait for Marshmallow, this phone already got "Do Not Disturb."

When taking selfie, touch heart rate sensor in the back can also snap picture.

oh it works.. tks.

The current date and clock doesn´t shows for me? I did on my Note 4 if I´m not mistaken......

You dont need to touch the camera sensor. Tap in the screen anywhere in selfie mode and it will snap a shot

Here's another one. .. in camera selfie mode just say "cheese" or "smile" ?
Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

Or "shoot"!
Also, if the phone is face down you can ignore calls and respond with a canned sms by pressing on the fingerprint sensor.

It only shows it the stock theme. If you theme the phone with a different theme from the theme store it doesn't show any more.

In selfie mode if you wave at the camera, it recognizes your hand then shows a 3 second countdown before taking the shot. (You need to enable this in the camera settings)

Thanks! I also noted that using Nova it doesn´t work. But it´s not a big deal

Seems like you can also get the floating apps like you can do on the Note series, simply launch an app like youtube, then swipe from the top corner to the middle, and there you have it, a floating app.

Great thread, stuff I wouldn't have found for years on my own!

Instead of the 3 home button tap for one handed mode you can reduce any app to be floating by dragging from the top very left or right of the screen down. Not from the top edge but the top of the screen if that makes sense.

[APP] Fingerprint sensor as home button

For those of you that would like the fingerprint sensor as home button + other options, you should try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ztc1997.fingerprint2sleep For me, works good so far.

Ty this is awesome now. Single press brings me home. Double expands toggles and swipe open notification panel. No need to reach to the top of the screen anymore.

Awesome, this works perfectly. A tap brings me home then I press it again to turn off the screen.

Some times it just stops working and this is very annoying for me =Z

Works fine for me.

I'm sorry that some of you have problems with the app I recommended. For me works good, but I have only the option as home enabled. Maybe some of the other options are causing problems. Uninstall and maybe do a restart if not fixed.

I also only had the home option enabled. Uninstalling helped, restarting (several times) did not... I don't actually miss it though, maybe because my times with Samsung and a physical home button are so long gone that I am not so much tempted to use the scanner for that function anyway...

For the app to work, I have to have fingerprint security enabled? And that requires an unlock configuration (pin, pattern)?

Works so good for me, would be great if we have a form of hide the navbar and only use the sensor.

The new Moto G5 has the option to hide the nav bar and replaces it with gestures over the sensor. I think it's likely that with a future soft update, we will benefit from it also :good:

Can you post a screen shot of your app settings? Or explain your settings so I can replicate? I got the home function to work but to unlock the device it always asks for the pin unlock code after using the fingerprint scanner.

** SOLVED ** PIXEL 2 XL Apps and AR Stickers Not Working

Got the latest update 1st December 2018
AR Stickers work but cant record when active
Can take pictures but thats it?
Followed a few tuts on YT but ppl are using menu sliding from left my texts are at bottom
ie. Camera Video More
When choosing more it shows Playground
For me to access the Stickers
Also most of my apps when clicking them on home screen or appd drawer go to
Google Play and gives option to uninstall or Open ???
Why doing this and not opening straight away?

They've rebranded stickers to Playground. It's an add-on to the camera so that's why it's not listed in the app drawer.

Didn't have to enable anything. I noticed the video button was missing compared to the previous app so I figured long pressing did recording. Have you tried clearing app data? How about make sure all app permissions are on? If that makes a difference.

Yeah tried that
Have gave feedback on app as well as google feedback on the issue
As it seems to be a problem with some users

Might not matter at all because I don't see a possible connection but try changing to the pill home button (gesture navigation). That's the only thing I can see visually different from mine.
