Is this possible to lock or unlock the screen with only fingerprint without presssing the power button?
Yes, for waking without pressing power button.
No, for waking by only swiping FP reader.
Set up FP unlock.
Activate wake on volume rocker.
Now you can wake pressing volume rocker and unlock swiping FP reader.
i hope someone work on this isue. it is so boring that press the power button and swipe. only finger print could enough for lock and unlock.
thank you for kindly interest...
You have to wake the phone first by pressing a button, otherwise the FP scanner would need to be on all the time draining the battery, and probably reducing it's lifecycle considerably.

I have been trying to Find a Macro Mapper or some kind of 3rd party ap to lock my device when i press the power button. The only work around at this time is to use Lock Device with 4 number pin and 0min lock setting. however i am tired of constantly pressing digits and would rather use native Lock Function that requires bottom left tap to unlock than middle right side tap to confirm unlock. However, it is only initiated from a Lock on screen tap.
IF anyone knows how to enable this lock by pressing the power button which is in my case on the right side of my mogul(PPC6800) that shuts off the screen and powers down to standby i would greatly appreciate it. this is also a replacement for S2U which has a few bugs with slide out keyboard and memory leaks.

Hi
I just recieved my Op2 and I am really irritated its not allowing me to go to home screen. Left button if to go back and right button list all apps. When I press middle button it does nothing. Only in logout state it act as fingerprint scanner. Is middle buutton pressable?
Not sure how can I reach to home screen. Can some one suggest.
Actually, the fingerprint sensor doubles as a home button.
If touching it doesn't bring you back to homescreen, then I'm afraid your OPT is defective.
Yes. The middle button should double up as a home button but only if you are using hardware keys. If you have enabled the On screen Nav bar then the button will only work as a fingerprint sensor .
Hello,
I know that it exists 2 ways to unlock the Z1 using the fingerprint:
- Wake up the device using the double tap to wake or power button, then use smoothly the fingerprint sensor to unlock the device
- While the screen is off, perform a long click into the fingerprint button (AKA home button) to wake up and unlock in the same action.
I like much more the second option, but... do you think that the long click will break the fingerprint sensor with the time?
Time will tell
Hello guys, can anyone recommend an app/rom to change the power button settings? or add more functionality to the fingerprint sensor?
Basically my fingers are not that delicate and I always end-up powering off the screen while I am trying to lower the volume or hold. I really would like to use the fingerprint sensor to do all the work of unlocking/touch to screen off/ hold to power off.
Hello everybody
I want to know how fingerprint unlocking works with that phone. I mean if, when the screen is off, you have to press the button and then swipe the finger over the sensor, or you can only touch the sensor, or you have to swipe it, or you have to turn the screen on and then touch the sensor, etc etc.
Other question, is it possible to use always the fingerprint? Or there are situations in which you have to use the pattern/pin/password in any case? (I mean after rebooting the system or when you turn the screen off from an app, for example)
Thank you
Best regards
I just press the button and continue to hold my finger on it and the phone unlocks. It happens so fast that if I just want to look at the clock on the lock screen I have to use a finger that hasn't been recorded or it will unlock to my homescreen. My configuration always asks for a PIN on reboot, and once every so often it will ask for my PIN "for additional security"...
Anyway you have to press it. Simply touch the sensor with a registered finger doesn't wake and unlock it, right?
And how often it asks for the pin?
Thank you
yes you have to press the button, but it is so quick, no need to wait for unlock. I think, this fingerprint scanner in the power button is the best method, better than fingerprint at the back of phone. The pin is only needed if you restart your phone (or you press the powerbutton with a unregistered finger, or your finger is wet) I like it very much!
