Hi there,
I'm using a Lock Screen app for ages now.
it's an app that turns off the screen without having to press the physical power button.
This one, for example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wq.lockscreen
The issue started since installing the lock screen app and now I can't unlock the phone using my finger print, but only using the pattern. I tried several apps now and none of them worked for me. Only when I uninstall the app the finger print function works flawlessly..
Does anyone here came across this king of issue and found a solution ?
Thanks, guys !

There is a setting for "Smart lock and Nexus imprint" Says Experimental. Works every time for me.
It's a mm issue, not your hardware or software.
The confirmed workaround is use root and nova prime gesture to lock ie double tap/swipe down or up etc. Nova launcher prime is on a sale now too, double goodness

I'm using Nova for along time now, i know there's an option to add a gesture in order to lock the screen, but it doesn't work like any other app i've tried. I don't have root yet on my device, but Nova hasn't asked me for root either.

I'm not sure how it works without root. Give it a try though. It works the same as other lock apps except you're using nova gestures in the home screen.
That's the problem here, all other lock apps can't make it work.
Iv'e tried with Nova now, same issue :\

Any app that offers a real screen off without lock function (which wouldn't interfere with Imprint) needs root to do so.
Nearly all of the apps that provide a screen off function without root use the same API method which by design or oversight on the part of Google overrides both Nexus Imprint unlocking and Smart Lock settings on 5.x devices.
There is a Google Issue tracker thread here - star if this design decision/oversight irritates you - https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=191955
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro has a working method but it is really just smoke and mirrors, not a true screen off action.
All it does is temporarily reduce the screen timeout to a minimum value (10 seconds) and sets a black screen overlay until the screen has naturally turned off. It works fine unless you invoke the shortcut and decide within 10 seconds that actually you wanted your screen on.
Nova can't do it with it's standard method either.

If you already use an automation app like Tasker or MacroDroid along with Secure Settings (I prefer MacroDroid) it's pretty easy to emulate the https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iglint.android.screenlockpro workaround and add some extra functionality to cancel the delayed real screen off if you decide you want to interact with the device in the few seconds after activating
Basically the steps are:
Use Secure Settings to set screen timeout to 1 millisecond (this actually results in a 7 second screen time out)
Set brightness to minimum
Set a 100% screen dim
Set Immersive Mode (MacroDroid doesn't support this natively dunno about Tasker - but there are apps that support this via intent so doable).
Reverse the above when the Screen off system broadcast is received and on whatever trigger event you like - I've got a proximity sensor wave to wake set up anyway via MacroDroid so just use that.
Is there a way to disable the HTC10 lock screen with the weather and all? I want to get something simple like Cyanogen mod

are you rooted or on custom rom...
if you are on either then you can remove htc lock and weather apps and it would default back to AOSP lock screen which is neat

You don't need to be rooted. You can use the Debloater app found here on XDA and disable the lockscreen and reboot

Hijacking this thread, since you seem to have experience with using this debloater app. When I tried it I couldn't get the stock lock screen while having any password and fingerprint sensor protection. It worked fine with just the swipe to unlock, but if I enabled any secure unlock it would just bypass the lockscreen. Any solutions to this?

whenever you remove htc lockscreen even if the fingerprint scanner it doesn't you would need to set your fp again... thats what we had to do...
security and set fingerprint again...
not sure if debloater does in any other way...

It's still the same for me. If I enable any kind of security (PIN or fp or both) the phone just bypasses the lockscreen. Really weird. Do I have to disable anything else other than the HtcLockScreen.apk?

Download any Terminal Emulator from PlayStore.
Open it and type:
su (allow root access)
pm hide com.htc.lockscreen
But it will disable WakeGestures too.
If you want them back check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/themes/xposed-htc-media-gestures-t3486376/page1
Thanks and with terminal emulator from phone or worked.
But after the reboot it shows no lock screen...I mean...neither the Marshmallow default one, which I thought should be there after disabling HTC lock screen.
So there's really no way to have a STOCK lock screen instead of the HTC one?

I used the same methode and I have the stock lockscreen.
I'm not sure what went wrong on your side.
Maybe try to disable and re-enable the lockscreen in security settings.

No, I mean, the stock lock screen is there, but isn't showed when I tap on the home screen like with HTC lock screen...the only way to show the stock lock screen is to press the power button... if I touch the home button the phone immediately go to home screen, when fingerprint is recognised...
This is how Nexus/pixel phone works?
If yes...well... everything is normal then...and I've done my job right with terminal...

Ah okay, now I understand what you mean.
This is one advantage of the default lockscreen. Unlocking the phone with fingerprint is much faster.
You have three options:
- Use power button to see the lockscreen
- Use double tap to wake to see the lockscreen (you need xposed for this)
- Use GravityBox. You can change how the lockscreen react after you use the homebutton (unlock the phone directly or just show the lockscreen - you need xposed for this)

For information, double tap to see lock screen...you know the module? I already have xposed with N-Ify module active...
Gravity box i know the module but never installed by now.
I saw that with Nexus 5X works the same, fingerprint unlock immediately, touch the sensor only vibrate (if fingerprint not recognized), power button show lockscreen.

Use this module for double tap to wake (+ some extra wake gestures)

As you know, mi5s has the "Lock" quick toggle. I am trying to find it in the Gestures>Activity>Settings in Nova Launcher but with no results, can someone help me out? Cheers
Gestures > home button > lock screen. Hope it helps, it works for me
Of course you have to use home button then, but it's even better when you get used to it...

Yeah, I have it set up like that since day one, but I wonder if it's conflicting with MIUI like with LG software where you couldn't unlock with your fingerprint if you used this method. Xiaomi seems to work fine, but I'm still paranoid and would like to use the official lock task.
I am paranoid too... Never noticed a problem ?
Hi all. New on this phone, I've searched for this but could not find, so maybe someone here could help me. Is there a gesture to quickly turn off screen (had a gesture on my old nexus that was double tapping home button)?
Thanks in advance!
You could try 'Edge sense plus' (check the play store) to use the squeeze function to turn off the screen instead of launching the assistant. Personally I use nova launcher and swipe up to turn off the screen.
I'm sure there are other alternatives as well, but that's my 2 cents
I use the app called edge gestures on the play store. Works very well for me!

Is that the app that costs 1,77? Wich are the possible gestures for screen off?
Do you have the possibility to use the fingerprint sensor to turn screen off?
Thanks!
Yeah it does cost some money but I can't remember exactly how much. There is a native screen lock option for Android 9+ and I don't think there is any fingerprint gesture. It's primarily for the edges of your screen.

You could try turning on accessibility menu in the accessibility settings if you don't mind having a small icon to the right of the pill at the bottom of the screen. When you click it, there are several options given and lock screen is one. It's not a simple gesture swipe or a simple double tap but it may be an option.

Tried that, and it works, it appears a person button, and when you press it, it gives a lot of options, and the lock screen is one of them. I will keep using until a easier solution if found. I can not believe android will not include a gesture option for this by default.
I hate to have to press a button to lock the screen, they end up breaking/wearing so fast.
Thanks all for your responses, and other solutions are welcome. Cheers! :good:

Forgot to mention though that with it, when you open the camera app, you'll get this '5 second burst' label on the screen that some find annoying but I, for one, don't mind it.
Oh and when you're down and feeling blue, that small person icon seems to be ready to give a hug so just look at your phone. Hahaha

Yes now thinking it could be a accesibility info. I really do not like it. Will keep searching for other options... Don't mind to have a extra menu, but would preffer a native app and not a installed one. :good:

It's swiping/tapping from either the left, right, or bottom of the screen.
I use Wakeup touch Nexus, which, apart from letting you wake the screen using the proximity sensor, also allows you to turn off the screen by touching an icon on the desktop https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wolandsoft.wtn

Thanks, but looking for gestures apps or ways to lock the screen.
Check this widget out. It is invisible and adds double tap to lock functionality to any launcher.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jordigordillo.dtswidget
Works without root in Android P or with root in Oreo and lower. In both cases, fingerprint unlocking works afterwards.

I upgraded to 11 yesterday but my recent app screen is still like it was in 10.
I don't get the screenshot option in the bottom left corner only way to take a screen shot is holding the power button and the volume down button.
Also the recent app screen no longer launches from my home screen only if I am inside another app.
What do you guys think is going on? (Stock Pixel 3XL running Nova Launcher)
Thanks,
Rodney

You need to be on either 3 button navigation mode or full gesture mode, it does not show on 2 button mode.

That was it! Thanks!!! I was on 2-button!
I had the same issue on gesture, I disabled/enabled it in home settings and it works.
Did they just break 2-button navigation but leave it in? I've been on it since getting my P3xl 2 years ago, and now I can't get a recent apps screen at all. I swipe up on the home screen and nothing happens. Is there another way to get to that that I'm unaware of?

That is interesting, I am on two button and when I swipe up when in an app I get recents.
How do you change to 2 or 3 button navigation mode? I'm on full gesture mode but don't see a option to switch.

In Settings search for "system navigation".
So after I wrote that comment, my phone froze, and after rebooting it would freeze after like 5 seconds every time. I had to reflash with wiping and since then I can swipe just like before.
Is the chat bubbles only on full gesture mode too?
They never show up for me (on 2 button navigation).
