Moto G4 Plus Nougat issue: screen wake up using fingerprint sensor - Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello,
Last week i got an update for Nougat version & updated it successfully. But i have come across an issue, with Marshmallow even though i didn't activate finger print scanner to wake my screen up when i touch on the finger print scanner it ll wake up my phones screen. but now with Nougat, that doesn't work (or) double tapping the screen also doesn't wake the screen.
Is there any way that i could wake my screen ? (i didn't root my phone so i would prefer non root method)
Thanks in Advance.

Open the "Moto" app -> Display -> Enable the feature.
I think that's the raise-to-wake feature you're looking for.

settings-> security-> fingerprint. set up the FP here to unlock the phone
"Gesture settings" are not part of stock N, they are in custom N ROMs like CM14.1

my wife has the same issue, it´s now raise to wake. in marshmallow, when you haven´t set any fingerprints to the phone, the fingerprint reader used to wake the screen, the exact same behavior of the power button, in nougat they got rid of this feature (im guessing).

I am facing same issue.

Can I use fingerprint sensor to wakeup device ?

Hi
Anyone know Can we use fingerprint sensor in p9 lite to wake up device without pressing power button like on nexus 5x or 6p?
thanks
You mean just wake up without unlock? there is a xposed module for that... can't remember now which one... or use another app that wake ups the screen when lifted or double tap the screen... you can find a guide on this forum

I mean just by touching fingerprint sensor can we go directly to home screen ( wake up+unlock )?
wait a minute... it does... maybe you don't a secured lockscreen... set a password/pin and then go to settings-fingerprint id

You can unlock your ph, but there is no option of locking it via fp without any third-party app
Sent from my LenovoA3300-GV using XDA-Developers mobile app

It's available in Nougat
available in nougat.. if u can't wait use fingerprint quick a action in XDA
Gravitybox
You can use gravitybox to lock your phone using fingerprint. It is available in Nougat, but if you're on MM, and can't wait, install xposed framework, install gravitybox module, and under fingerprint settings, you can set an action for each finger you've configured. One of them can be set to lock the screen.
On 7.1 im using the fp sensor as home button and set up double tap to turn off screen. Maybe it's available on some cm13 builds too?

Provided you're on the stock Nougat ROM, and you've got your fingerprints set up, head to Settings>Security. Under 'Device Security', tap the gear icon next to Screen Lock. There on the Screen Lock Settings, you'll have an option to long press the fingerprint sensor to lock your screen.
(This is present on Nougat v7.0 NPJS25.93-14.4, I think it's present on earlier Nougat builds).
Custom ROMs likely have their own method of locking with the fingerprint sensor or with the soft home button.
This will help

Le pro 3 gestures

Hello, are there any gestures for turning on screen in le pro 3. For example as lg smartphones when double tapping the screen turning on. I find in the setting when you press long to back button it goes to sleep but there is not same gesture for wake up. I am using stock rom.

Nope. I miss that from other phones too. There are 3rd party apps that technically do double tap to wake (dt2w) but they basically only by keeping the screen on non-stop and just turning the brightness all the way down. I wasn't a fan of the few I've tried. A custom kernel mod could allow it, in theory.

Try this to enable ambient display and wave to wake up feature.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/themes/acdisplay-ambient-dispaly-t3521461
Also try Fingerprint Quick Action for notification pull down

I tried it but it doesn't effective because it is working after fingerprint. I want to find something which can wake up phone without pressing power button or fingerprint sensor.

Well that's because you need to unlock it. Try disabling the option "Power button instantly lock" and it will go to home screen right away in one swipe.

This an old APP, used to like it 2 years ago...try ALWAYS ON DISPLAY-AMOLED...using it better than the ACTIVE DISPLAY, you don't need to used the pattern, you can use your fingerprint. Trust me, ACTIVE DISPLAY is an old app, works well when fingerprint is not present before.:highfive:

Interesting and thanks, I will give it a try but mind you, you cannot use fingerprint while the phone is on the table with screen facing up, can you? And using the fingerprint defeats the purpose of using this app and in fact you don't need this app or the ACDisplay if you can use your fingerprint.

WAVE to wake or pick up to wake will do, its built in, just switch it

Yep, I am trying it now and I think my first impression is it being more responsive than ACDisplay both in wave-to-wake-up and pick-up-to-wake-up features. Double-tap to wake up phone does not work at all but rather use to go to home screen once the phone woke up similar to swiping up or down. Notification glance could use some improvement, I like ACDisplay's tap to glance and swipe-down to get rid of the notification. I will check the battery consumption of this app over night.

Well I was wrong as it is not battery-friendly as ACDisplay. It keeps on popping out even without waving the hand or picking up the phone. I uninstalled it now and reverted to ACDisplay. =D

Activate double tap on status bar to lock
Try another rom, InvictaOS https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/xt16xx-cyanogenmod-14-1-alpha-t3492274 have a double touch in fingerprint to lock screen
Been using fingerprint quick action app. Have to use the root method to get exact stock behavior of tap > instant sleep.
Would prefer non-root method but it works. Only issue is that I suspect it causing minor stability issue. Every 2-3 days need to restart my phone or I'll get 'could not get root access' errors when doing the fingerprint lock, but all good after reboot.

can Invicta (or any other rom) do single touch fingerprint gestures out of the box??
Use RR ROM official. It has single touch FP lock.

Is there Moto type fingerprint swipe for Essential?

Question to the collective.
In going full immersive i have been trying to find and app the uses the finger print sensor.
My other phone is a Moto Z4 play .
Motorola has the this kind of immersive mode where the nav butons are hid, but the fingerprint sensor gains functionality.
Swipe left go back.
swipe right go to running apps
tap Fingerprint sensor and goes home.
I use the fingerprint sensor to swipe down notifications, but want toi have the moto z4 type functionality.
I have tried multiple apps to the fingerprint sensor and they all dont work. any direction that i can be pointed would be appreciateed.
Thanks

Found it in the play store and says that my device is not compatible.
It is for oreo. May have to try beta
Hmm, I wonder if you could contact him and ask for the apk and sideload it? I'm on orio beta 2, are you on 7.1.1? Maybe that's the difference

The beta will not allow you to have OTA updates just so you know if you are going to go thru with it. And the app doesn't have tap for home, but you can swipe up or down for that.

That works on 7.1.1 too.
I wanted to not have to touch the screen to go back, home or running apps.
Just use the fingerprint sensor each swipe be defined.
Looks like I'll have to wait for Oreo to be pushed and I can try the app mentioned above
