Hi all,
I got my Pixel this week and it's great so far. I got an issue with the deactivation of the gesture "activate display on lift up" (could be different in english because it's in German for me). If I deactivate this setting, the gesture just gets deactivated for a few screen-off screen-on cycles. In the settings it's still deactivated but in real life the pixel activates again if I lift it up. Does anybody knows a fix?
adb shell settings put secure doze_quick_pickup_gesture 0

Thx, this works! Do you know why it isn't possible via GUI? Is it a known bug?

It's related to fingerprint unlocking. If you didn't use fingerprint unlocking then it would act "normal" and the screen wouldn't turn on when phone is touched or lifted (assuming you have lift to wake disabled). It "appears" to be a feature that Google implemented to make if faster or easier to unlock your phone. Most users see it as a bug

It is a bug from what I can tell.
The lift to wake toggle in gestures doesn't do anything being on/off, it's always on when it shouldn't.
Tap to check toggle works as intended.
Fingerprint being on or off shouldn't make the toggle work or not, my other FoD devices the lift to wake toggle work as intended.
Probably another half-done crap Google left behind.
edit: also after using the adb command, the toggle seems to work as intended from then on. Funky

Apparently someone on Reddit had a Google chat with Google about this and they told them that this was intended as part of the fingerprint unlocking system. That's why I said Google probably views it as a feature, but most users view it as a bug.
I personally use the adb command to make it work as "we" think it should, not how Google thinks it should.

If that really happened, is just nonsense. Toggle is there to be used.
It works in my other several devices, FoD or not. It works after the adb command issued on my oriole (toggle state works as intended I mean).
The amount of broken stuff on raviole devices is just ridiculous by now.
Also the radio stack on the device is the worst I ever seen.

I was using NFC LockScreenOff Enabler on my Nexus 5 until the screen hardware died on me. Google is currently sending me a new one. I was MultiROM'ing Lollipop and tried the smart NFC unlock feature, but I didn't like it because you had to turn the screen on, hold the NFC tag, and swipe a swipe-to-unlock screen.
I have an NFC implant so i want the functionality just like NFC LockScreenOff Enabler. NFC polling with screen off, hold phone up to my hand, phone unlocks straight to home screen.
Is there a working solution for lollipop?

They're both ugly and not reliable, IMO. I couldn't even get Uber to work and sent the dev an email. He was a ****ing jerk and basically said I'm dumb and didn't enable the app. Come on.
I wonder if there's a way to use Tasker to bypass the swipe screen after touching the phone to NFC. I don't mind placing the phone on my implant and pressing the power button. Having to then swipe another screen requires weird hand acrobatics when using an implant, which is why I'm still on 4.4.4.

Not going to work. NFC polling in stock Lollipop is Screen On, Unlocked. We need to enable alternate polling modes to even be able to read the NFC tag. Go ahead and try it, your phone won't even read your NFC tag, let alone disengage the keyguard. Even if you got rid of the keyguard, you still have the Pattern Unlock, or PIN, or password. You need Secure Settings plugin within Tasker to remove those.
The only ROM for the Nexus 5 at the moment with different NFC polling options is Cataclysm. I tried extracting the NfcNci.apk after I changed the settings, but the settings didn't stick around when I brought it to stock ROM. I'm guessing you have to go in and manually add the settings or change the polling code within the apk, but I don't know how to decompile and edit code.
If you know how to do that, that's all we need; a modified NfcNci.apk with Screen Off, Locked polling mode. It's located in system/app.
Your guide is useless as it stands, just being honest.

The tasker profile above worked fine with a pattern set, scan the tag the lockscreen disapears till you turn off your screen, I tested it with secure settings and could see no benefit to also having it disable you password etc as the lack of keyguard meant you were never prompted for it
but aye a different polling method is needed

All good. We just need someone who knows what's up to modify NfcNci.apk for us. I just started the semester and can't devote time to it right now.

Even if it has been a while, this might be useful:

There is also a step-by-step guide on how to mod it yourself, a few pages later, and a guide for NFC with screen on but locked. I tried it on 5.1 (Xperia S, nAOSP), worked like a charm.
I plan to use my old note 2 as a carPC.
Will likely only be using it for media, GPS, and read my OBD2.
Needs to be compatible with the Tasker app (not sure if an issue or not) and the OTG-Y cable.
Need to be able to disable lock screen entirely, be able to have homescreen rotation, and on screen navigation.
Would appreciate any input!
TIA!
Alright, now I'm running LiquidSmooth 4.4.4
Has built-in option for on-screen navi. Working great.
Installed an app correctly named 'screen rotation' and does exactly what I need.
Enabled developer option so I could enable stay awake while charging.
Discovered I could disable the lock options entirely (sorry, company has had me on iPhone for awhile now).
Still trying to find something to allow double tap screen for sleep on/off. Recommendations please.
Going to test Tasker here in a moment.
Don't have an OTG-Y cable to test with this ROM. Can anyone confirm?

Check out the Xposed module named DoubleTapToSleep. It allows you to turn off the screen by double tapping on the status bar. It works pretty well. The original thread for it is below.

That looks like it would almost work. I still need to awake via tap as well.
All the buttons will be covered.
Only need it for night driving really. Quick and easiest way I can think of.

Hi.
I'm new user of LGG6. Previous i was on Nexus devices.
Is there any way so set unlocking with fingerprint ONLY? So, without additioanl pattern, PIN or smth.?
Thank you!
I found that second security is needed only first time, after device boot if you use fingerprint screen unlock.
But, if I use DT2W unclok method I have to use PIN,/pattern ...
So, any way to remove that, BUT keep fingerprint unlock?
(i know i can remove screen lock method, but than fingerprint is automaticly removd too)
I removed this kind of protection on my Nexus, but it requires root.
Just add a trusted location etc then it will unlock with no passcode and fingerprint only.

Are you locking the phone using an app (like Nova Launcher) to double-tap to lock/sleep? if yes, then double tap the status bar to sleep. then you can wake the phone using fingerprint only.

Yap, I'm using NL.
Thanks! Nice solution, but it 'll be hard to get used to use just status bar to lock.
The best solution is this one, but it only works if you are rooted (+twrp) and i'm not sure if last root method allow to chainging files on /system partition:
Then while still in TWRP go delete /data/system/locksettings.db
This should let you swipe to unlock your phone. Your fingerprints will still be saved and can be used once you set up a secure lock screen
Beside I would like to stay without root if it's not necessary.

Ok, now I set "on body detection" ... but. That kind of smart locking only works if you don't lock phone with duble tap (over Nova launcher in my case) nut you leave phone to lock after time.
So this is usefull only if I don't lock with double tap. But I like that option and I'm using it all the time.
Thanks anyway for your time and tips.
Currently I have double tap to wake with Smart lock enabled. Unfortunately it takes me to lock screen and I have to swipe to go to home screen. Is there any Tasker plugin or any other way to go to home screen instead of lock screen on double tap? I have tried Tasker with my limited knowledge, but couldn't achieve it...

I have the same problem / need. I use smartlock based on android wear watch paired with my galaxy S9, which means I never have to enter my pin, but for some silly reason whenever I wake up the phone using tasker I still can't get past the slide to unlock.
My current workaround which meets my immediate needs (maybe not yours).... on my phone which I carry in a holster on my hip is to use fingerprint sensor to manually unlock while the phone is in the holster. I also have a tasker task to vibrate upon unlock (bypasses slide to unlock) which gives feedback when I'm successful. Surprisingly, fingerprint sensor doesn't care which way you rotate your finger on the sensor - it still recognizes it.
After I unlock the phone I initiate actions from my smartwatch - things like initiating google voice search in a way that preserves my preferred note to self behavior (goes to google keep including transcript and recording... doesn't work if you start google voice search by saying ok google)

Can you explain step by step please?
Just install AutoInput from playstore (it's not free), it has an option to unlock the screen automatically if you have FaceUnlock enabled.
I owned Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro before, which also has an on-screen fingerprint reader. One very neat feature of it was that you could just press your finger on where the reader is when the screen is off -- the phone springs up already unlocked.
On P6P I need to either press a button or tap first to turn the screen on. Only then can I press the finger to scan.
Is this configurable somewhere or maybe moddable?
The phone should awake automatically, once you grab the phone - as long as you have AoD enabled.
My use case is often to unlock the phone just lying on the table without grabbing or moving it. It indeed reacts to me when grabbing, but it would be nice to just press on the sensor and have it unlocked.

Again, as long as you have AoD enabled, the phone will wake the FP the moment you touch the sensor. I just tried it out a couple of times myself. The phone is lying flat on it's back, AoD is on (FP symbol is active above the battery % at the bottom) and I just lay my finger on the scanner and it unlocks, without having to move the phone, take it in my hand or anything like that.

Even with AOD off you can select tap to check under gestures and a slight tap will wake the phone for the FPR.
Sorry, you are right -- I didn't have AoD enabled before (I messed up what AoD means ). Still, this is not quite the same feature I used to have:
* AoD drains battery and I don't like the screen being always on;
* Tap to Check works, but you need to do this additional tap (then up the finger and press on the reader). Just placing your finger on top of fingerprint reader and having the phone unlocked was more convenient. It's also kinda slow -- if you just quickly tap and then place your finger on the reader, it often won't work (the screen won't light up or the reader won't start).
Guess there's no such functionality at the moment, so I'll continue using Tap to Check.

You could use AODNotify, which, besides giving useful notification features since we don't have a notification light on this P6P, also has two options, and I use both: 1) To completely minimize AOD, so it at minimum doesn't show as much on the screen, and 2) there's an option in AODNotify you can enable with ADB for an experimental low power mode, which effectively turns off AOD unless there's a notification that activates AODNotify.
I use it this way and I use the fingerprint reader with the screen completely off all the time.
There are other but potentially more complex solutions others have used here regarding automation apps like Tasker. If you search the P6P section for mentions of Tasker, then you'd probably find details reasonably fast if you were interested in going down that road.
AOD uses 6% battery for me over the course of 24 hrs. To me the convenience of the notifications and FPS make this more than reasonable.
Unless you have an unreliable electricity supply and you have to meticulously control your battery I can't see it having any meaningful impact.

Is there a thread or group for AODNotify to ask questions so I don't go OT here? I just installed it and I like it so far. Obviously I'll have to pay for it once I decide to keep it but the adb commands you speak of, is there a way to turn them off if you decide to? And when you say AOD minimal on screen, what do you mean? Ok so I went OT for a bit.

Which two options do I have to enable in AODNotify? I'm not sure what you mean.
Many thanks in advance!

AODNotify Settings / General / at the top choose "Don't show", and at the bottom, after you do the necessary ADB command, choose "Power saving mode".
OP originally asked if there's a way to have the fingerprint scanner function while the screen is off, and that's till what I want. Is that possible? I don't like AOD or pick up to wake or tap to wake, I like my screen to be off and then I like it to be unlocked and I don't like anything in between, or any delay in unlocking that can be avoided.

You could use AODNotify, which, besides giving useful notification features since we don't have a notification light on this P6P, also has two options, and I use both: 1) To completely minimize AOD, so it at minimum doesn't show as much on the screen, and 2) there's an option in AODNotify you can enable with ADB for an experimental low power mode, which effectively turns off AOD unless there's a notification that activates AODNotify.
I use it this way and I use the fingerprint reader with the screen completely off all the time.
There are other but potentially more complex solutions others have used here regarding automation apps like Tasker. If you search the P6P section for mentions of Tasker, then you'd probably find details reasonably fast if you were interested in going down that road.

Where can one find AODNotify?

With AODNotify's options enabled, the screen is fully off and then when I use the fingerprint reader - obviously the reader area of the screen lights up because it needs to, but then it goes directly to unlocked.

Play Store. For me, the second search result from the left is the one for the Pixel (the first one on the left is for Samsung). Good luck!
There is also a thread for AODNotify for Pixel by the devleoper in this section.
