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

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.
Hi,
I want to know about any app or widget that just put screen to off, without locking the device. Same function like when I press the power button.
For example lock automatically device time is 5 minutes after screen automatically turns off. So if I press power button, it simply turn off the screen, if within 5 minutes pressing home button or power button again, it brings device on. (do not ask to unlock device pattern or pin)
So far I have checked almost all apps / widgets that on press, lock the device as well.
I am not looking for apps which are using any proximity or any other sensor. I am using galaxy s4
I already have checked other related questions in this xda developer, but could not find the answer to it exactly.
Thanks
Interested as well!

This one maybe: HERE. Try other thing too: Put the lockscreen off manually (Apps - Settings - My device - Lock Screen - Screen Lock - None)
I'm facing with a serious bug (or maybe wrong configuration?). I activate the option to quickly launch the camera app by double tapping the home button.
So when im in my lock screen, which normally would requires my finger or pin to enter, when i double tap the home button, it takes me to the camera and I found out that I can simple press Back button and it will take me to the home screen (NOT the lock screen).
I've also noticed that even with camera double tap turn off, I can also double tap the HOME button to get into the phone.
Is there anyone else have this issue?
P/s: I've also tried changing my finger while pressing double tap to make sure, it still bypasses the security. (and no it's not a clone phone, It's straight from AT&T). Stock Firmware
Should I try reflashing the stock?
Mine goes back to the lock screen perfectly

My AT&T S7 Edge goes back to the lock screen after double tap to open the camera.

Dude by the time you double click home button it recognizes ur fingerprint. For checking u can tell someone else (whos fingerprint is not registered ) to double click it would not bypass.

I seriously doubt that this is the problem. I have fingerprint unlock set on my phone and it works properly going back to the lock screen when backing out of the camera.
Unless of course the OP is holding the button for a long time.

I thought I had the issue too. Then I double tapped with a finger I ain't registered to unlock the phone and it stopped. Probably just resting his registered finger too long on the home button
Hello G6 owners, I have a question about the fingerprint sensor/power button. Is this a physical button that you press in, compared to the fingerprint sensors on the Pixel phones? If so, do you have to physically press it at the same time you scan your fingerprint in order to turn your phone on? Or can you set it to just turn the phone on with a touch? Also, if this is indeed a physical button, does pressing it while the screen is on turn the screen off? And finally one more question: how hard do you have to press? It seems like it would be awkward physically pressing a button in that position...
The V30 looks pretty awesome and I'm assuming it is the same as the G6 in regards to the sensor/button.
Thanks!
When you want turn off the screen or shutdown the phone you need to click ( simple click like all buttons ) and for wakeup or open your phone you need just a simple touch on the button for scanning your fingerprint ..
You can also use the double click on the screen for turning off the screen or double click + password/knockcode/pin... For wakeup the phone
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!
