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.
So I discovered this purely by accident.
I've picked up my phone at night a few times and have blasted myself in the eyes with the light of my camera. It acts light using the widget to toggle it to act like a flashlight. Thinking my phone bugging out I thought nothing about it. But after the 5th time I decided it was a built in feature.
After much trial and error, I have these results:
With your phone on and screen timed out (turned off), press volume up and power at the same time. The screen should turn on, as well as the light on your camera.
To turn off let the screen time out, or press power to turn it off. Then press volume down.
Now I do not know how it works on mine but not my wife's note 3. I'm running stock Rom rooted with no mods.
I will try and figure out how I have this working, but any insight would work too.
Does anyone else have this feature?

I know Wanam Xposed has a feature for using volume up while the screen is off to turn on the flashlight, maybe that's it.

Well we're on this topic. I'm stock rooted on mje. What's the best way for me to add the flashlight function to my phone? I miss having that feature as I've had it on the last 3 phones I've owned.

The post above yours should do the trick. If you're talking about a toggle from the notification bar, I think it is built in most custom ROMs.

I have a problem with my unrooted Marshamallow X Force in that when I am in a call on the speakerphone/hands free the screen will go to sleep after a moment and I cannot wake it up other than by pressing the power button (No sensor detection or screen swipe). Is there any way to either disable the sleep mode during hands free calls or a way to get the screen to come back on without having to press the power button?
EDIT: OK I've found the attentive display thing but if I am looking slightly away like looking at my computer display it loses my face and sometimes I wander around during a call. I will see how it goes.
EDIT:2 Bah! It's not helping. Anyone got any ideas?
+1 It happened To me while on bluetooth headset,very annoyed.
Sent from my XT1580 using Tapatalk
There is no way to change this behavior that I know of. I also find it annoying.
Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
On another hand, behavior is logical. To save battery, screen goes off. The same is with normal calls. Only problem is that attentive display/proximity sensor is not turning it on.
Try to suggest Moto on official forum or under Moto app on market to implement that.
ok. before i received my s7e, i saw on some tips and tricks vid, that you can change having to push the home button down, to get to the fingerprint unlock, to just touching the home button, and the fingerprint unlock will kick in. but now that i've got my s7e, i have watched at least twenty vids, and haven't found it again. a google search turned up nothing. so, does anyone know how to do this? if so, can you direct me to the instructions, or just outline it?
Simple answer you must press the button first
How many threads to you plan on starting with simple questions that can be found all over the forum?
Sent from my Star-Tac
If the screen is ON, but locked, you don't need to press the button. But for the fingerprint reader to work the screen must be on, so you either need to press the home button or the power button first.
Protip: Or press and hold at same time and it's one fluid motion.

first, m3ddog, the whole idea is NOT to have to press the home button, but to just touch it. second, brava27, i have searched through out the board, and have not found a single answer to this. what i have found is people misunderstanding this, like the other quotes on here. so if you have nothing substantive to add, stfu! lastly, meyerweb, the whole point is that the screen is OFF. i said when the screen is off, or only the "always on" feature is showing, there is an app, which turns the home button into a capacitive button, so you can just touch it to launch the lockscreen, instead of depressing it. that is the entire reason for the thread, to get to the lockscreen where i can use my fingerprint, without having to acutally depress the home button. hope that clears it all up.

Can I ask why you are so against pressing the home button? Is yours defective? Are you trying to avoid wear & tear?
There is a solution of sorts.. install gravity screen pro, which turns on your screen when you pick up your phone.. then you just touch your finger to the fingerprint reader and wala
Stevea, I perfectly understood what you're asking for. It doesn't exist. I told you how it works, and the only way it works. Sorry you don't like the answer, but those are the facts.

yeah, the whole idea is past experiences with wear and tear of home buttons being pressed so much they fail. and my problem with your other solution, if i am right, is that the sensors are always on, looking for you to pick up your device, which kills battery life. if i'm wrong about this, please correct me, however. the other thing is i saw it in a tips and tricks video, and it worked perfectly for the reviewer. but now i can't find that video, and didn't write down what it was. but i might try your gravity screen pro. thanks for the tip.

meyerweb, you obviously didn't understand perfectly well what i said, because i said that i saw a video, where the reviewer DID use this technique to get to the lock screen several times, so it obviously DOES exist. just because it doesn't come into contact with your little world, does not mean it doesn't exist.
I suspect that the video you saw wasn't actually showing what you think it was. Which is why you can't find it again.
After giving up on trying to enable soft nav buttons without root. I started searching for similar funcationality.. ie use the finger print scanner as a capacitive button.. stumbled across this.. I think this might interest you.. There's an app call easyhome https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.easyhome&hl=en
It doesnt work from the lockscreen, but if you use the power button to turn on, then with this app you could essentially never press the home button.. It seems to work pretty well from my 5 minute look..

yes, because it's much more likely that i looked right at something, watched it happen, and somehow my vision misinformed me, rather than you just be wrong. seriously man, your powers of deduction suck! i don't need any more input from you, as you've added nothing positive to the thread. find something else to do with your time.

yeah, i looked at it, but it screws up the fingerprint sensor. so i got rid of it. but thanks for the info. i really appreciate your response.

Enable 'easy screen turn on' and you can bring the screen up, and unlock it with fingerprint, without any button clicking at all.

I was about to suggest the wave to wake option
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
try easyHome for Samung. It does what u want
You can use the following to turn on the screen and use fingerprint scanner without pressing the home/power button.
1. Open the Settings application and go to the Accessibility settings
2. Tap to open the Dexterity and Interaction settings
3. Touch the Easy Screen Turn On option and make sure it is toggled ON. (If you want to disable the Wave to Turn On Screen feature on Galaxy S7, make sure to toggle it OFF)
On the old nexus i had the rom had wake via volume.
I have a feeling my power button on the axon will suffer the same fate as ,my old nexus with the broken power buttons.
Changing the power to power up with power or volume up kept the phone running until got this phone.
Is it possible on stock rom to do this?
Thanks
Why don't you use fingerprints to unlock the screen or double tap to wake feature?

Either your Nexus had a cheapoass button or you had really bad luck. That's not normal at all, it's most likely that it won't happen. But the fingerprint sensor wakes the phone without turning the screen on anyways. The DT2W feature is horrible on stock and LOS so just use the fingerprint sensor

Nexus was known for **** power buttons. I broke 4 phones just with the power button. I think i hit the button about 20-50 times a day.
I don't really want to put my bio info on the phone. I am trying to find something else i can trick the FP sensor with.
I was trying DT2W i figured if you shake the phone first it works about 70% of the time
I might have to use FP sensor.

I think it's not really your bio info, it's just a bunch of points that that specific fingerprint reader can recognise. If that wasn't the case I believe you would be able to register your fp on Google and access the account with any fingerprint reader, but most operate differently.
Plus you can encrypt the phone at startup.
