I come from htc m9 where lock/unlock screen was pretty straightforward. double tap to unlock and navbar shortcut for screen off
here we have power key, ambient display, fingerprint, double tap (with EXkernel) for screen on
and navbar shortcut, fingerprint gestures, power key for screen off......
wow. so much choice...too bad that these methods override sometimes, like double tap is useless with ambient display, and fingerprint makes all of it no-sense....
How do you play with it?
Screen on: ambient display (only enabled for notifications) or fingerprint
Screen off: Nova launcher shortcut, power button sometimes
Screen on: power button
Screen off: double tap statusbar (anywhere)
Simple.
ON - fingerprint, power button
OFF - power button
wow there are people who still use power button hahaha
On: fingerprint or swipe up
Off: double tap

Same. Don't like active touchscreen for this function. I like to carry my phone by holding it front and back side. Also sometimes I press the edges accidentally when I do something else.

Your surprise (and apparent disdain?) toward people using the device as designed is confusing to me.
Did you honestly believe that *ALL* 5X owners would fear that the physical power button would break from normal usage?
Screen on: Fingerprint sensor
Screen off: Sweep2Sleep gesture. Available in various custom kernels

off: greenfy hibernate widget button
Screen on: fingerprint or double tap to wake in EXKM
Screen off: double tap on navbar
On: fingerprint
Off: power button (it's there, it works and i don't have to have a special feature to use it)
Screen on, swipe up
Screen off, tap invisible power button in far upper right hand side of status bar. Tap closes screen, long press brings up the power button menu.
If on stock 7.1.1, flash this to get it. Full systemui tuner included (Navbar adjustment and brightness bar removal)

well, we can live without buttons now, since they have a lifespan touch/accelerometer methods should be preferred by anyone who cares about his phone...
I don't use any since 2011, once you get used to alternative methods...you can't go back

I owned Galaxy S1, Galaxy S2, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, OPO1 (supports DT2W), and now N5X.
I have never experienced a faulty power button.

Hi,
I am experiencing issues with fingerprint unlock after update to OxygenOS 3.2.8 last week.
When I put finger on the middle button, usually it does unlock the phone... BUT - in about 1/4 of all tries, it just wakes up the (lock) screen and not actually unlock the phone. I figured that this happens when there are notifications on lock screen. It is really annoying, when this happens, even after turning screen off and then pressing the middle button only the lock screen appears and I have to put in PIN code manually to unlock the phone.
Does anyone faces similar issue?
For the record, I have rooted phone and stock ROM. Xposed installed.
Hey guys, does the phone stock Android comes with any gesture? Like tap twice to wake or even just put a finger and it just unlocks without having to press the power button

Nextbit stock OS doesn't have any of the gestures you mentioned except the jump to camera option when pressing the power button twice. However, a lot of custom ROMs such as OMNI, RR, AICP, etc has many gestures such as double tap on status/nav bar to sleep, the same jump to camera gesture & three-finger swipe to screenshot.
OMNI had the feature to keep the fingerprint sensor active so that you don't have to press the power button, but that feature was removed. RR and some other custom ROMs have the FP unlock feature where you can unlock the device with the fingerprint sensor after reboot / first boot.

Thanks, the only thing that bothers me is the need to press the power button and then use the fingerprint sensor.
Hey friends, how to disable fingerprint wake-up and use the home button normally
Every time I accidentally hit the home button, I always wake up the screen, which makes it very inconvenient for me to use.
Any ideas how to turn off Fingerprint in miui rom? Any Magisk Module or somethink?
Same sh*t here, subscribed for solution.
Hello everyone,
Ever since I flashed my OnePlus 9 Pro with OxygenOS 11, I've been having a reoccuring issue with my power button. I can use gestures, turn off my phone, but not actually wake the phone with it. I have to double tap on the screen to turn it on.
Any help with this?
