Hy guys,is there any app that canbhelp me with lock/unlock my phone? My power button is broken so I want to buy a phone case which can help me with lock/unlock my phone with proximity sensor. Like cover and uncover screen phone.thanks
The only way to lock the screen is to push the power button. Now, depending on the Lumia you own, you can use double tap to unlock and set the screen timeout to ~ 1 minute. That's probably as close as you can get to what you want.

there is no app, and no way unless you have an interop unlocked phone... the SDK simply doesn't provide such functionality... sorry mate :/

Hi,
I have AutoLock installed on my phone (Galaxy S2), but is not working very good. I need an application that lock and unlock (same as power button) the phone with help of proximity. Somebody know a good app for this?
Thanks in advice!
what do you mean lock (!) and unlock phone with proximity?
put your face in fron of your phone and un/lock??
Something like that, but just for pocket, when i have an object in front of the proximity sensor, the screen must turn off, when is nothing in front, on... and so on
+1 I need this app!
Smart Screen On App will make your day!!!
u must try this app but it drains about 15 to 20 % of ur battery and this app is for manual lock /unlock using proximity sensor

Lite version:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.android.smartscreenonlite&feature=more_from_developer

I was wondering if there was a way to do this. You wake up your phone, it's locked. You hold the sleep button and the phone goes straight to the home screen.
Or even better, you wake the phone up by holding the sleep button and the phone idles on the lock screen for a second and then jumps to the home screen (similar to iPhone's new fingerprint scanner, but without the scanner). Maybe the lock screen can have a fake pin lock to mislead people using my phone.
I've been waiting for this for years but I don't think anyone's developed it. Would there be a way I could do it with Tasker? Or maybe there's something on xda that I can download for it to work? I am rooted with a Note 3.
Also, if there are any other revolutionary new lockscreen's out there, let me know! I'm not into the whole typing a password to unlock because everyone sees the password anyway. Plus it's tedious. Any ideas?

Nice program, i also have problems from time to time after placing of call - display was black and need to unlock to finish call. Let see if will work for me.

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

You need to unlock manually using the pattern/alternativ unlocking method after each reboot.
To unlock with fingerprint you simple have to push the power button so the device wakes up and leave your finger on the power button for like a second to recognize your fingerprint. After that you are in the home/main screen

Thank you for your reply
Excluding at reboot, is there other cases in which you have to insert pin/pattern for unlocking instead of simple fingerprint?
How accurate is fingerprint identification? I mean, you have only to keep the finger on the power button in 100% cases or sometimes fingerprint is not recognized or recognized slowly or you have to take the finger off and then touch the sensor again, or swipe the finger on it and so on?
(I'm sorry for these questions but I'm trying to decide between z5c and xc)

If your fingers are really sweaty or "dirty" you have to touch the sensor again/a few times (moving the finger doesnt help, you have to retouch it). But most of the times (98%?) it works on first touch.

Okok, thank you. I'm trying to compare z5c and xc, and on many reviews online I found that the fingerprint scanner is more fast, responsive and accurate on xc than z5c.
And for the other specs, do you recommend me z5c or xc?
Hi. Just wondering if it has tap to wake or if placing your finger on the scanner will wake the device? Thanks
I am curious about this as well
from what I've seen on videos tapping on screen on the wrong spot would illuminate a purple fingerprint where you should put your finger, placing it again on top of that figure would unlock, an you have to actually press firmly not just slight touch as external FP sensors. If you press in the right spot at the first try it unlocks with only just that one single press. I'm hoping it is accurate enough so after we develop some muscle memory it unlocks at the first press 9/10 times.
I wished it had double tap anywhere to wake up/see lock screen/start face id though
Can confirm, tapping only shows where the fingerprint reader is. If you just straight put your finger on it the phone will unlock.
That is so good though..... No need to use power button. Plus if you use smart lock...i assume if your in your home or safe area.... You can avoid even using the fingerprint?

To be honest Mate 20 was silent about smart lock for now. It didn't auto suggest smart lock for any of BT devices I paired or the home Wi-Fi. Maybe I have to enable it manually. Weird the LG V20 I am coming from tried to shove that in my face on all ocassions.
... I did some digging, looks like smart lock for unlocking is not present (Smart Lock itself is on the phone).
