Did a search and didn't find anything related.
So, I have always used the Fingerprint Scanner to unlock my phone.
The process goes (as i'm sure you're all very familiar)
1. Press the Rear Power Button/FP Scanner to wake the phone
2. Swipe my Finger Downward and the phone unlocks
What happens as of late is I press the power button to wake the phone
and then w/o swiping my phone begins to vibrate and the screen informs me that I'm swipping my finger too fast over and over again with continuous vibration. It will still read my FP but it sometimes takes a couple of tries.as it already thinks i've put it in.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions for a fix?
I'm running the stable version of CM10.1.3 on the xt910. Yes, I have a screen protector and the proximity sensor works. The phone is set to "sleep" after about 1min and I enabled "end call" by pressing the power button.
Other threads don't really address the question in relation to Cyanogenmod.
Is there a way to prevent the the screen from "sleeping" and locking me out during a phone call? The proximity sensor works very well before the phone "sleeps". In other words, prior to locking me out the screen dims and lights when the sensor is covered or not. Once the phone sleeps, the only way to end the call and access the phone is to press the power button.
I couldn't find any settings within CM that allowed me to change this feature.
Thanks
I came to Samsung from HTC and one of the inconveniences I am having with the s9+ is turning the screen off. Of course I can turn screen off with the power button, but I prefer to turn off by a double press or a long press. Since I could not find a way of doing those I tried to use an app to turn screen off. The app works well in turning off screen, but the problem is after turning screen off, I cannot unlock the phone with the fingerprint scanner or any of the other unlocking sensors. I can only unlock with PIN if I turn off screen with the app. This is the app that I have been using. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en
Appreciate if anyone can help me find a way around for this problem of fingerprint and other sensors not working after screen off with an app.
It's a security measure.. I suggest using this:

There's a lock button that won't disable the finger print and stuff. Hope this helps
I use an app named screen off. It puts a button on your home screen to shut it off. Then just double tap the home button to turn it back on.

Thanks. I tried that and it works without disabling the fingerprint and other sensors. Only thing is it takes two touches to turn off the screen.
Take a look at Lock Screen Pro, it has an option in its settings that will allow fingerprint and iris scanner to work after locking with an app symbol you added to your homescreen. If you use bxActions you can also lock your device with the bixby button!
Use Nova Launcher, better than Touchwiz and has a setting built in for double tap screen off, no problems here with finger print sensor. No need for secondary app.
Long-press on home button
Try a long-press on the home button. A long-press turns on and off the Samsung S9+.
I knew of its function to light the screen, but was unaware that it would close the display.
Greenify is installed on my phone, and a message appears, stating that Greenify is still working, and that I can press the power button, if I want to stop it, then the screen is off.
When I pick the phone or move it the screen turns on. It is annoying. Is there a way to only turn on screen by pressing power button? Please help.
Go to settings->smart convenience->gesture & motion and turn off Raise to Turn On Screen
I have already done that. But the screen still wakes up without any notification or pressing power button.

Mine too
Disabling Auto Screen-On
Go to Fingerprint Settings under "Fingerprint, Face & Passwords" Section and Turn Off " Display the Fingerprint Icon when Screen is Off" option.
Faced the same issue, switching that off in Settings doesn't help!
It's the third time that my Nord go to black screen and I can't turn off the phone.
The device it's working, music playing and ambient display turn on the screen but when I unlock (auto with face id and finger print) its turn off but have the backlight on.
I can't turn it off to restart, recovery or fastboot.
I tried all commons things: hold power, hold power+volume, unlock and hold power, all during charge,... all the combinations and nothing happens.
The other times is going on by imself, any solutions? If its turn on im going to change the OS automatically
If there is a toolkit to help to restart the phone or something with adb I appreciate the information, I don't have fastboot enabled and I think the bootloader is lock
