Unlocking Note 10+ - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

This is my first note so I'm not sure if there is a way to do this. On my s8+ if the screen was off I was able to tap the area where the home button is and the phone screen would turn on. Is this possible with the note if I have AOD off? Or is the only way to turn on the phone on via pressing the paper button?

Hello,
On advance Features in the section for motion and gestures. You can select Double tap to wake.
This should let you Double tap the screen to wake it up.
If you want to go into phone, if you know where the fingerprint is you should be able to log in without turning phone on. But that is if you can get it at the spot it is.
They removed the has gone button as it will cause issues with the fingerprint reader.

Thank you!! Double tap to wake the screen works perfectly for me!

[TIP] Screen Off and Lock

Would you like to leave a tip of a software I'm using. Is the Screen Off and Lock. You can set up to make the screen lock just by sliding your finger on the button back or recent. At least to block not need to use the power button.
The application is available in the Google Store.

Try gravity screen. It uses sensors to lock and unlock the screen.

If you have root, an alternative is the Xposed module KnockOff. It works well with 4.4.2. Double-tap status bar. It's even a quick way to turn off screen when you only momentarily want to check lockscreen.
With Gravitybox, I have set long press in the "multitasking button" to turn off the screen. Also I have set the volume keys to wake the device. You should try it!

You don't need root for gravity - it's fantastic.
I've set it so it turns off when it's lying down face up, face down, and in my pocket. I don't even need to press the button or any button at all to turn it back on, just using the motion of picking the phone up is enough. If you want to lay the phone down but not turn the screen off, swiping your finger across the proximity sensor gives it a "5/10/20 minute timeout" where it won't turn off.
For me it relieves the paranoia surrounding power buttons as I've had a few phones now where the power button eventually dies, which makes sense, we can be turning our phones on and off for what feels like a thousand times a day!

Ah, my bad. Thanks for correcting my misinformation! I think I probably got carried away on how amazing I find Gravity. :good:
Hi thanks for that. YES. I tame extra precaution about power button.
I use a great app called. Tap tap tap. Des what gravity screen does but simpler and less features. Via the proximity sensor. Thanks for he app though
Moto G owners ought to know about those apps as soon as possible, so they won't screw the power button up just as I did. Even taking extreme care about the way I pressed and avoiding as much as I could the button is now shaking and it is not fixed properly.
Nice tips!
Another one I've been using is the Proximity Actions app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=novum.inceptum.proximity
It works with the proximity sensor. You can define waving and holding actions. Eg. hold your finger 1s over the proximity sensor and then lock/unlock, or to wave X times to lock/unlock
The bad is
- it install some ads that show in homescreen at random time
- you have to uncheck a checkbox before uninstalling! Be careful

[Q] App: Soft power button on edge/ticker screen ?

I've had an opportunity to play with a display model of the Note Edge recently and ultimately decided to buy one. It'll arrive on Tuesday.
The one thing that I really disliked (coming from a Note2) - is the awkward placement of the Note Edge's power button. So I was wondering if there'd be a way to add a soft power button to the edge/ticker screen -
I found a couple of options to play with which I've linked below.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.android.smartscreenonlite
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/wakeup-turns-on-your-screen-without-the-power-button/
That mostly addresses the 'off' part but 'on' looks relegated to being triggered by motion or the proximity sensor (because why would you want a 'screen on' app/button on any other phone - because the screen is... off).
I didn't play extensively with the Edge but if the edge/ticker screen is always on (or in a stand-by clock mode) then can someone make something that detects a swipe down and wakes the main screen? Or swipes to a shortcut that wakes the main screen?

Hey! Glad you decided to join us edge users! About your question I'm personally using screen off and lock. I've had no problems and its working beautifully. Got it on my list of apps on the edge and even with the edge on just using it to control my music i click the button for it to turn off the screen and it does just that. It has some nice features as far as animations which i like. As far as the other apps I haven't tried them yet. Hope this helps. Have a good day
easy to do, already sorta included..... with screen off swipe up/down(one motion, do not lift finger between) on the edge screen the edge clock will activate, then swipe from right to left to pull up the app shortcuts cocktail, tap any app in the list and it will wake the main screen and app will be launched and waiting behind lock screen

Oh, sweet. Thanks for this! I kept accidentally activating that and couldn't figure out what I was doing. Heh. I love this phone, I keep finding new things.
The easiest way around the poor power button placement is just to buy the official case so it turns on and off when you open and close the case. It really should of just came with the phone. They belong together. I bought it. It really is like a piece of the phone.

I use greenify. I long press the home button and it hibernates and turns off the screen. I've found it so much nicer than trying to mess with the power button location.

Screen off and lock has this capability add well.
I don't mind having the power button on top, it's the switched back button and last used buttons I still can't get used to. Oh and I don't like how the home key doesn't respond to the pen without press, fail.
Lately I've set GMD gesture control to double tap for screen off. Just have to blacklist a few apps (like calculator) and keyboard where a rapid set of taps will shut screen off when you are trying to do something else. Would be nice if there was a double tap to turn screen on! Some phones can do this. But, for now, I'm fine with just pressing home button for that.

Issue with lockscreen!

Hello,
I am having this issue since i have updated my phone to marshmallow.
When i set "screen lock type to fingerprint" and try to unlock my phone with fingerprint i am getting this.
Enter pattern instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy
Is there any way around to always use fingerprint.
Thank you.
Do you long press the home button to turn the screen off?
It's Samsung security ..no way around it... It usual happens if.. 1~uturn off screen than turn it back on immediately..2~if your screen been off a while..it's no bug... It's part of Samsung 6.0.1 security
I don't believe that's true. The only time fingerprint asks me for an additional password/pattern is the first time after I reboot and if I turn off the screen by long pressing the home button.

I use double tap to turn of the screen
Use the power button instead if you want to use fingerprint

Keep screen turned off function missing from settings.

As the title says it. I'm not complaining or anything but I am kinda tired of pushing my lock button 2 times whenever I am in the dark place and want to unlock my phone with KnockON feature (double tap on the screen). Is there a way to get around that "press lock button 2 times to unlock the phone" or it's something wrong with my phone that is missing that setting?
Would be appreciated for an answer.
What phone model do you have? I only have to press mine once to unlock it.

Just increase the screen timeout.

That didn't help. I still can't get it unlocked by double tapping in a dark room.
it's how the phone prevents from accidental unlocks in pocket: when condition is pitch dark, double taps won't work; only with double press the lock button and fingperprint sensor.

Thanks for the explanation but I was wondering if I can disable that function just for ease of use. Btw fingerprint unlock won't work in the dark either for some reason.

How to bypass the "always on display" and always turn the display fully on?

Hi, I have a Galaxy Note 10+ and today I cracked the lower portion of the screen.
Touch and regular display work, however, the "always on display" does not.
In order for me to access the phone from a locked screen off state, I need to:
tap the power button (so the "always on display" awakes), then
plug a power cable so the regular screen turns on, then
swipe pattern
Currently I need the power cable to make this work.
Touch does not get detected on the "always on display".
Is there a way to disable this "always on display" so that clicking the power button starts the regular screen?
Would other unlocking techniques bypass the lock screen?
Can I setup a bixby routine that makes the regular screen turn the on the phone on movement?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you
Nevermind. I think the regular screen sometimes is not turning on.
And it is by chance when it does.
Quite unfortunate.
Time to backup everything.
Thanks
Disable the lock screen.
I simply double tap my screen to turn on and off.
Double Tap apk on Playstore.
Update, yeah it will die sooner then later. Replace the battery at the same time. Win-win.
