Is there a way to implement this?
trying to minimize the use of my home button to power my screen on
Try 'proximity screen off'. It uses the proximity sensor to turn on/off the phone.

Im trynna keep my power/volume rockers away from constantly pressing it + with the poetic case its awkward.
is there an app that lets you to turn on your screen without having to press the buttons?
For example saying "Nexus" and your screen lights up?
You mean from sleep or from power off?
pgm aka slide2wake, needs kernel support
From sleep

A different case that will turn the screen on/off when it's opened/closed?

I use "Screen Control" by MYDIGITA, which uses the N10's accelerometer to wake up the device. Just give it a shake. It is not perfect but works well enough.

I'd also look into Tasker app. For example - I'm sure you could make it wake when headphones are inserted, etc...

Last week I changed from using "Screen Control" to a free app called "Gravity Screen Off" by Plexnor, after reading an XDA review. The reason I like Gravity Screen Off more than Screen Control is that it keeps the screen from turning when reader long text as it detects slight movements on the N10. That meant I could uninstall an app I had to used with Screen Control called "KeepScreen". Simply put, Gravity Screen Off does the job of two apps and does it better.
I'm having a hard time distinguishing between the power button and the volume buttons by mere touch/feel. (I have the Verizon version). I keep pushing the power button when I want volume and vice versa. I use knock-knock a lot, but sometimes I don't want to have to go back to a home screen just to turn the display off. Anyone else share this frustration? I was thinking of buying some skateboard grip tape, cutting a tiny square, and placing it on the power button. Thoughts on a physical mod to the power button?

Putting a case on made it a lot easier to find the buttons, and hit the right one. Without a case I had to flip it over every time. I feel like the back location of the buttons is basically OK, but the Verizon design change made them really hard to find by touch. Having them recessed inside a case really does help though.

Honestly this frustrated the crud out of me at first. the TPU case does help to find the buttons in general, But after using mine for a week and a half im starting to develop muscle memory and am looking or pressing the wrong button less and less. I think a couple more weeks and it will be a non issue.

I completely agree about the home button, but you can knock knock on the status bar from anywhere to turn off (don't need to go to home screen).
Yo u can double tap the status bar to turn it off..

Ah! I didn't know about the double tap on the status bar. This phone has so many cool hidden features. Thank you. I think I'm going to try that epoxy idea too. ✌

If you have nova prime, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441027&highlight=nova shows how to re-enable the knock-knock to turn off on the screen instead of reaching for the sbar, works perfect for me.

Can also be done with Nova and Tasker if you already have it.
I've been looking for a way to lock the screen while in an app since I got the phone. The double tap in status bar will be huge.
Is there a list of all the shortcuts LG included somewhere? Doesn't make much sense to develop them and the not tell anyone about them.
I found an awesome solution for this. I've been reading a few threads about LMT launcher, so I decided to give it a try. You can get it from here. (Under settings>Set gesture input...choose #2). I setup my pie controls to swipe from the right side of the screen. In LMT settings, In PIE tab select your pie piece and then under advanced command options choose KEY and enter the number 26. Now when you press the word KEY in your pie shortcuts it'll turn off the screen. Works great!
Yea I know what you mean OP, lots of times I am just looking for the volume button and can't tell the difference.. quite annoying
I don't want to cover up the small light ring (which Verizon made smaller) so maybe epoxy glue is best idea
Hello,
Anyone having the same issue I'm having? During a normal call my phone won't wake when I remove it from my ear. Even if I push the home button or power button it won't turn on at all. This is a problem especially when I want to end the call or select different options. It seems like the phone is still up against my ear and the touch screen is not active. I don't know of this is a proximity sensor problem software problem. Any help is much associated. Thank you in advance.

Try to clean the proximity sensor.
And type this on your dialer *#0*# to check if there is an issue.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I did the test and seems like it's working. Even during the test Sometimes it still doesn't turn off on its own. Any other suggestions? I doubt it right.

All the ways I know of require root. I'll spew out the ways I know of in case you have root: I am using a double tap Nova launcher gesture to turn off screen without locking. Greenify has an option. Pure Nexus has a double tap on navbar feature. Resurrection Remix I programmed long press of home button to turn off screen. I believe double tapping the statusbar might turn the screen off even stock? Not sure about that one.
I feel the power button soft, i allways had problems with nexus' power buttons. But i dont want to root the 6p...

Does double tapping the statusbar turn off the screen when stock? Maybe that's an option under settings>display? I wasn't on stock for long, so can't remember. That's my only non-root idea.
If no solution is found, why not just turn the turn off display to 30 seconds?

Hello again,
Glad to see the forums gaining traction with this phone now.
So, at bed time I like turn off all vibrations so my girlfriend can not.be disturbed. This is always easy to do EXCEPT for the finger print sensor. The only way I know to turn off the vibration on it is to put on DND mode (total silence.)
This has the desired effect. The PROBLEM is that I cannot listen to any audio in my headphones with this on.
Is there a vibrate on/off switch for the finger print sensor? The only solution I have found is to turn off the one button nav and disable vibrate on tap... But there must be a way to just turn off vibrate on the fingerprint sensor... Anyone?
Thanks in advance!

Has anyone tried that?
Another way is to turn on battery saver.
The fingerprint vibration is especially annoying when using one button nav :/ wish it would turn off when that is enabled
