Has anyone figured out how to do to knock off screen with Nova Launcher? I can get Knock On but not Knock Off, which is annoying because the only other way to turn the screen of is to use the power button (unless there's something I'm not aware off).
Interested in this as well...

Goto
Nova settings - gestures and input - double tap
And select screen lock.
Double tapping anywhere on homescreen will lock the screen then.

I did that before, but doesn't seem to play nicely with AOD. Hmph.
Thanks.
I don't think the op wants to screen lock but rather screen off. That's what I'm interested in anyway.

Usually the two are the same, unless you have your phone to stay unlocked in a trust zone? Or some kind of timer? Personally I don't trust any zone. When my display turns off, my display is always locked.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
Edit - worked like a charm, except it breaks fingerprint unlock after double tap off. If I enter my password to get in and then use the power button to turn off, then fingerprint unlock works. Weird.

Until you have root, double tapping to turn the screen off with Nova will just dim the screen for 30 seconds to a minute until it locks the screen, then the always on display will kick in and you can unlock with fingerprint normally. If you want to turn the screen back on before that happens, if you tap the screen you'll notice the navigation bar comes up, just tap the home button and you'll be back in. Once you have root, it can lock the screen directly and you won't have a problem.

Incorrect. I do not have root and I have enabled double tap in Nova to lock the screen. Double tap actually shuts off the screen.

It looks like it turns off the screen. It's basically a work around for them. Like I said if you touch the screen during that time it's not actually off. It will pop up the navigation buttons. Maybe you want to say it's turning off the screen and not locking it, that's fine. To me it's not actually turning off the screen, just turning off the backlight until the phone actually locks.

On mine if actually locks the screen. I just tried touching the screen immediately after double tap and it stayed dark until aod came on. It is definitely immediately locked and off (at least on my device).

I'm sorry, you're wrong. You aren't looking at the choices. It instantly locks the screen if that's what you want.
It does NOT "time out" if you don't choose that option.
Choose the "device admin" option. But the fingerprint sensor won't unlock it the next time you turn on the screen (like when you reboot the phone, the fingerprint sensor doesn't work first time when you turn on the display.) Still, it INSTANTLY turns off and locks your display. It says so right there in the double tap options.
Or you can choose the "timeout" option, which is what you are describing.

Okay it looks like I made the wrong selection when enabling the double tap gesture - I enabled the admin mode, but I think I really want the time out mode to allow my fingerprint unlock to work correctly. It's there any way to reset Nova so that I get the selection toast screen again to choose? Or do u need to clear data for Nova...
Nevermind. Found the setting.

Yes, I was describing the Timeout option because I assumed that's the best option for people who want to use their fingerprint to unlock the phone again. Didn't realize people might be using the Device Admin mode because it's just annoying. With root it will allow you to instantly timeout the phone bringing up the AOD immediately and allow for fingerprint unlock without just having a plain black screen for about a minute before the phone actually locks. That's all I was saying.

Agree with you. Missed the option with root on my previous V10. I don't like Device Admin & Timeout options. With current unrooted V30+, I always double tap on status bar to lock screen immediately.
There's an option in greenify to turn off screen by long press on home button, which works pretty well.
Without any further settings, you can always double tap the status bar in Nova (or any other app for that matter, not just on the home screen) to turn off the screen. That's what I do all the time.

Interesting. I didn't know about that option. Yeah, that works.
But until now with this phone I've not messed with the double tap options. To me (with other phones) it was just as easy or easier to tap the power button (on the side) once than to double tap the screen.
This is yuge. Thanks! Status bar double tap FTW.
I really don't want to be picking up the phone to press the power button on the back to lock it every time.
Glad to see that other people know about the double tap on status bar trick! It's made my life a lot easier.

Hello everyone,
I found a big time glitch on the lock screen. If your screen is locked and you let it time out that top layer with the time on it appears when you cut it back on. Just move it out the way and your phone is unlocked without a pattern code needed. How do I stop this?!?!?

A fix has not been issued but a workaround has been.
I have a feeling none of you will like the actual fix. The work around more like a fix. The only bug here is the pattern unlock screen showed up when it shouldn't. And it has nothing to do with security breach or not.

Here is how is suppose to work (when you have the timeout in Lock settings, not display settings, set to anything other than immediately:
1. You power on the phone, you need enter the unlock pattern.
2. You hit power button or let the display time out, the phone screen goes off.
3a. If you wake up the phone within the timeout period you set above, you should be at a normal swipe screen without the need to enter your unlock pattern.
3b. If you wake up the phone after the timeout period, you should see a pattern unlock screen and you need to enter the unlock pattern to unlock your phone.
The bug is in 3a, it showed the pattern unlock screen instead of the normal swipe screen. That's what confuseed a lot ppl. There is no security risk here. It works as it is designed to do but Samsung made a mistake to display a wrong screen.
This timeout feature is designed to be a convience feature so that you don't have to pattern unlock your phone frequently if you're actively using it. You will only be asked for pattern unlock if the phone idles for certain amount of time you set. If you don't like this and like to be asked to unlock everytime, you should set the time out to immediately anyway.

Have you actually gave this try. I completely understand how the time out period works and I guess we all do, but your not getting where the bugs are in plural because there's two I found.
Bug 1. No matter what's your time out, it's not supposed to let you in the phone without you actually putting the password. If you let the screen sleep in the lock screen next time you wake the phone there's no password to put in. It let's you in
Bug 2. If you set time out to immediately. The Password protection lockscreen disabled right after you unlock your phone.

That's the whole reason why you have a timeout setting in lock screen. If you wake up the phone within timeout (timeout of the lock screen, not timeout of the display), you don't have to unlock it. If you don't like this, set to immediately.
I don't use pattern lock (which is ridiculously easy to crack). I have exchange policy on my phone with PIN password. It does not suffer from any bugs like pattern lock.
Don't understand what your mean in bug #2.

I like the feature; same as on Honeycomb.
I feel annoyed whenever I want to have pattern lock on, because that means I have to press the top button to turn on the phone, then unlock the phone iwth the HTC ring, then use my pattern?
I was with a buddy today and he has the SGII on Rogers, and he doesn't have a lock screen if he decides to use pattern.
Anyway around this?
If you use a nonsense rom I think the ring lock is gone there may also be tweaks for this. I must admit I lol'd to the 'is this real life??' I haven't looked into it much besides that. On the bright side, with it set up this way you can still control music from the 'lock screen' unlike if there was just the pattern. From what I know.

There is an app I use called NoLock that disables this. I think you have to run it every time you reboot, though.
Edit: Not sure if it will disable the pattern lock as well or not, I prefer no lock screen at all.

So I recently rooted my phone and now I currently have AOKP ROM with Fluxi kernel. When I had first gotten AOKP on my phone the lock screen worked fine and I really liked the different things you could do to customize it. However, for some reason my lock screen never shows up anymore? If I push the power button or my screen times out and I press the power button, the screen comes right back on to what I had been doing when the screen turned off/I hit the power button, so that there's no lock screen at all now. Is there a way to fix this? And yes, I've searched these forums and Google trying to be the least noobish I can be

My guess is that you've inadvertently set your screen lock to "none" instead of "slide" or whatever it is you want. Should be under settings/security/screen lock. . .or something to that effect.
I would first try wiping cache and dalvik cache in CWN and try to fix permissions. Also make sure to check your lockscreen settings.

Well I know that I can do that, but then I have no secure unlock. What I want is that the screen actually locks so that I have to put in my pattern after say 2mins and the rest of the time have the slide to unlock. Thanks anyways
@snipe2nite
Yes, I've already looked into that too and that's not the problem sadly. My problem is that my slide to unlock screen never comes on at all when it should after the screen goes off for a short amount of time before my secure unlock screen kicks in. Thanks for the answer though!

I'm going to try that too, I saw something about that somewhere else for a different phone and it was from a long time ago, thanks
It wouldn't let me quote you guys cuz I haven't done 10 posts yet :/ sorry
Have you checked your lockscreen settings in the ROM Control? There's a setting in there to "show standard lockscreen before secure unlock." Sorry if that's not what you need. I guess at this point I'm not really sure what it is you're after, as your original post didn't mention secure lock, just the slide-to-unlock element.

First of all, what is your "secure unlock screen"?
Also, a short amount of time? How shorts? 5 seconds? 10 seconds or 10 minutes?
Say, after "a short amount of time", say 5 minutes, do you get the unlock screen that looks like what Phalanx has posted above?
If yes, then you should already have the unlock screen working correctly and snipe2nite already gave you a hint. Check that option out.
If you set for 1 minute then during that 1 minute (from the screen goes off to secure unlock screen kicks in), it WON'T lock, yes, if you press the power button again, it brings right up.

Yea, thats your problem. Amazed your still getting replies from others. Learn what your doing, do some searching. This thread is pointless.
And thats my nice comment.
@xhepera
What I want is so that when my screen turns off (after time out or when I press the power button) and when I turn it back on (before the 2 minutes that's needed for the screen to actually lock and I have to enter my code or pattern) there is a slide to unlock feature that I can use to get to a couple of different apps, like the screen that Phalanx posted. I could do this before, like after timeout it would go straight to slide to unlock then after 2 minutes of the screen being off I would have to do my pattern.
@votinh
What I meant by secure unlock is when the phone requires a code to unlock like a pattern, etc. And by short amount of time I mean 1 second to 2 minutes (or 5 mins, or whatever I set as my screen lock time) As I said before, it worked in the past so that if the screen went off and I turned it back on within those 2 mins, there would be a slide to unlock screen like Phalanx's picture. Now it just goes straight back to what I was doing
Thanks both of you for your patience lol I feel like a little kid trying to explain this to people
I'm currently re flashing the ROM and gapps after factory reset and cache wipe.. hope it works and stays
Have you checked the "Show lockscreen before unlock" option?

Yes, I had messed around with that and thought it was a silly feature because all it had done before I had cleared and reflashed my phone was put the honeycomb/slide to unlock feature right before my actual secure unlock so I had to do both to unlock my phone...
EDIT: It still does that???? It seemed like it was doing the right thing just a second ago... Nevermind then... I guess it's not even a feature to have slide to unlock THEN secure unlock after 2 mins????
Hello,
I'm experiencing a weird problem with my LG V30 H930 and I was wondering what could be the solution, if anyone has ever experienced that as well?
Yesterday I received a new LG V30 phone and that day I found something very disturbing. The "always on display" function does not work when it's too dark in the environment or when I cover the light sensor. This also results in:
- "double tap to wake" function does not work when it is too dark
- holding finger against the screen results in turning off display instead of entering options for changing wallpaper, adding widgets and settings. Additionally when I turn off the screen in this way, I need to press the button on the back of the phone twice, which is also a fingerprint reader and at the right time. If I do it too slowly, i.e. press the button once, wait a bit and then the second time, the screen will not turn on. I have to press it twice and relatively quickly
All of this does not happen when it is bright in the environment.
The phone's never been rooted, there is no custom firmware loaded on it, I've tried many times going back to factory settings.

Why are you covering the light sensor if you want the AOD on?
You are basically replicating a flip case cover or flipping a phone over on the desk. Of course the AOD will turn off under those circumstances. There's nothing wrong with your phone.
With your display on, just quickly press your finger on the fingerprint sensor to display lock the phone and you will see AOD. Well you also have need the "power key instantly locks" option turned on. But I assume you have that on already.
Of course the AOD works in a dark environment. But in this instance, you are covering the light sensor -- which tells the phone you must have it in a flip cover case or flipped over. When you open the case or flip the phone back on, the AOD comes back on. In your fake way, you must be doing something wrong.
Stop covering the light sensor.

You are replicating a flip case cover or flipping a phone over on the desk. Of course the AOD will turn off under those circumstances. There's nothing wrong with your phone.

I understand your logic, but it is a very weird feature then, not to be able to change wallpaper directly from the home screen, when it is dark in the room or not to be able to turn on the phone double-tapping the screen, which is turned off. Is it perfectly normal as well?

You can change wallpaper and double tap the screen, but go to AOD mode in a NORMAL way. I told you how. Just turn off the display with the fingerprint sensor. AOD. Double tap, display back on.

Thank you for your time!
I don't know anything about how under-screen fp readers work, but... Is there no way to use it when the screen is off?
On previous phones I always used the fingerprint sensor to turn on and unlock with one touch, but this N20 5G seems to only fp-unlock when A) The screen is on, and B) The "fingerprint goes here" icon is visible.
The screen will usually turn on when I pick up the phone ("Somatic Gesture"); the fingerprint icon then appears for a few seconds, then goes away. That seems to be the only window for unlocking without clicking the power button.
Am I missing a trick?
I use double tap to wake and it works great. The sensor stays lit up for about 7 full seconds before going black. YMMV
Good point, double-tap to wake was disabled by default!
Still two more taps than I'd prefer to get to the fingerprint unlock, but I guess that's more a reflection of how incredibly lazy I've become than a problem with the phone.
