Lineage 16 Smart Lock Problem - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

When I turn the screen on my phone with smart Lock it opens to a blank lock screen. I have to hit the power button twice after that to get it to open to my home page. Is there a known solution to this?

Is direct unlock enabled?

Thanks that fixed it.

Strangely I got the same problem. Direct unlock enabled. First unlock bring me to a blank desktop (only wallpaper and status bar showing). I have to then lock the phone again and unlock - and then the launcher is up and running. - Samsung A3 2016
Edit: With Direct unlock off it seems to work, but then you have to swipe to show the launcher...

Hi, I am having exactly the same issue with a Poco F1 running the latest Lineage 16 ROM. Has anyone managed to suggest a fix for this? I love the ROM, but I used to use the Direct Unlock feature without issue until recently, and I really miss this feature.
Here's hoping someone can help with this,
Regards, Richard

[Q] How to remove screen lock

Can someone help me in getting rid of the lock screen? I wan to use my phone just after pressing the home screen no additional step by swiping the lock screen.

I installed it, but still not working is there any tricks?
A bit weird way, more of a bug in the lock screen, is to hit the home key 4 times, the lock screen doesn't prevent the voice system from being activated. So you can hit once to activate the screen, two quick to enable the voice talk, and then once more to return to main screen. Bad way, but working.

[Q] Slide to unlock - missing

Hi. When I received the phone, out of the box security was not enabled and I was able to unlock the screen only by sliding the pad lock UP on the lock screen.
This worked well for me as I could read all notifications while locked, without unlocking the phone.
I then tried out the other security methods including Pattern. Didn't like it and wanted to go back to slide to unlock.
Under Security there is not a Slide to Unlock option.
Now, if I leave it as No Security, anything unlocks the screen, even a tap.
How do I get the original pad lock Slide to Unlock feature back?
A hard reset?
Sorry if this has been answered before, I did a quick search and didn't find a thread.
Thanks.
Set it to wallpaper lockscreen. Personally I use productivity so my messages go on lockscreen
Btw option is under settings / personalization / lockscreen type

Same Issue
Hello I am currently having the same issue with my lock screen. I hadn't even realized that switching the lock screen type was the reason, but it makes sense. Did you find a way to fix it? The above poster's method did not work for me.
Thanks for putting this problem in words!
So it looks like this is an issue that happens whenever you have an accessibility setting enabled as described here. This goes for any accessibility settings... Can someone confirm if this still happens with other Sense ROMs or if this only happens with stock?

Disabling lock screen completely - possible?

Hi guys, I just got a le max pro (x910) but there is no forum for it. Still, I believe it is running the same OS and EUI as Le max 2 (6.0.1 and EUI 5.6.x)
To my question: I hate lock screens so I disable them. If the fingerprint reader were better I'd seriously consider using it to unlock the phone, but it isn't.
My problem now is the "second" lock screen on this phone. Not sure if this is an andorid thing or an EUI thing, since I haven't used android 6.0+ before.
Essentially, I need my home screen to appears when I click the power button. Is that possible? Currently, the "lock screen" that appears after hitting power is a screen with time and camera icon. I don't need this. Can it be disabled SOMEHOW?
Thanks
Hello!
You can do exactly what you want with Lockscreen Disabler in Xposed. It will disable the lockscreen and when you press the power button, the home screen is shown.
As you may know already, you must have a custom recovery, be rooted and have Xposed installed. Then download the module and enjoy

Is this new in Android 6 or an issue with EUI? On my Sony Z ultra with android 5.1.1 disabling the lock screen is right there in the options.
I'm not sure whatever the problem might be. If you said that you need somehow to disable the lockscreen because you can't, I took it for good and I found a solution for you
I've tried to remove it without Xposed and looks like in Settings you don't have this option. Keep in mind that different OEM's do have various options of customization that might not be common.
Hello everyone, I´m new to this, but I just got an LE S3 last week at a really good price! (take into consideration that I live in Mexico) and found the same problem mentioned here, after lots of researching the web and tinkering with setting, antivirus and lock screen apps on play store and factory resetting phone, I got rid of the ``second lock screen´´ wich is very annoying to me, and not to mention all the ads that popped up every time I unlocked the phone, only for it to come back as soon as I connected my phone to charge it! Very Frustating!
And then I noticed, since I had changed the home and lock screen wallpapers to pictures of my family, I noticed three little white dots on the upper left corner of the screen, almost imperceptible, just like the ones on the web browser to deploy a menu!! I hitted it and a warning came up `` do you want to disable Locker?´´ I hitted Disable and that did it! Now I´m able to just go to my home screen with the Finger Print unlock or Pattern unlock.
It was hard to notice the three little dots since I had not changed my wallpapers, I was using the factory galaxy/nebula look alike wallpapers, which are very cool but have scattered white dots all over and tricked my perception of the Locker Icon.
Hopefully this can help some of you to turn off that annoying extra screen.
Cheers!!

Notification unlock screen without swipe

Hi Guys,
I'm pretty new to EMUI but I got this anoying thing. When I am using WhatsappWeb for example and I get several notifications, my phone unlocks itself and goes to the homescreen without any need to swipe on the lockscreen. This also occures when I lock and directly unlock it over the buttons (home or power), it just jump over the lockscreen like I would have swiped.
It is probably configuration based, something like "10 seconds after locking -> quick unlock" or something but I havent found out yet.
I want to swipe everytime to unlock the lockscreen and for sure notifications shouldnt be able unlock the phone.
I dont have pattern/PIN/password lock or fingerprint enabled.
Thanks
For this, you could use faceunlock + pin or faceunlock + scheme.
Whith faceunlock, there is an option to unlock only after you slide...

Question Fingerprint doesn't work after update MIUI 12.5

Hi
After update MIUI to 12.5, I normally use an application (screen off and lock) to lock the screen, since double tap doesn't work.
Turns out that after the update when I lock the screen through the app, I can't unlock with fingerprint saying that "device locked by admin" and I have to use the pin to unlock.
Anyone knows how to overcome this?
Thanks in advance.

Same here on mi 10T
I have learned not to update MiUI, as the updates rarely fix old bugs and ALWAYS introduce new bugs. Best just sticking with what it came with until a custom ROM comes along and then leave the MiUI crap in the past.
Problem is 3rd app lock method.
Here is solution:

I use NOVA LAUNCHER and I have same problem after 12.5 update. So I changed LOCK method in NOVA and it works.

So easy but still so difficult to figure out...
This was really good to learn about i have to say,thank you very much for your help!
I solved this issue after updating my Mi Note 10 to MIUI 12.5.1 by switching from 3rd party screen lock / turn off app to an official built-in widget simply called "Lock" (go look for it, it should be near the top in Widgets section when you press and hold empty home screen area).
To remove unofficial screen lock app you must first revoke admin rights, of course, otherwise its ghost will keep reappearing after each uninstall attempt.
I simply like stock MIUI Launcher, so using 3rd party ones to solve this was unacceptable for me.
if u guys are just talking about turn off screen without using side button, then there are some options present in miui...
1) [if u r using button navigation] setting> additional setting> button shortcut> turn off screen> choose as ur choice
2) You can also use the quick ball, 'setting> additional setting> quick ball' with quick ball u can use 5 shortcuts like home, menu, lock, clear cache, ss etc
3) the widget option... Just like d789 said
And 'double tap to wake or turn off screen' option is present in the "setting> always on display & lock screen"...
Thanks, I overlooked that buttons shortcuts in Settings can be configured to lock the screen as well (e.g. long hold Back or Home on-screen button).
Yeah, double-tap to wake or turn off screen is also very useful feature I use since day 1.

For me this doesn't work.
I use Nova and always have.
In Nova I go to "Gesture and Inputs" change the "double tap" to "screen lock".
I then choose "Accessibility" and add Nova.
After that if I double click nothing happens. If I remove Nova from accessibility and then double tap it asks me to use device admin or accessibility. I use this way on every single mobile I use but on 12.5.3 I can't pick accessibility as it refuses to do anything when Nova is added.

Thanks, I didn't know about that.
Now the only thing for me that is still broken is the fact that I can't use gestures with Nova launcher.
To everyone who's still facing this issue. This fix helped me and a lot of others as well. Try it out.
It's a rare but annoying glitch in MIUI, you can easily solve it:
1. Go to TWRP -> File Manager
2. Browse to: /data/system
3. Delete file "locksettings.db"
4. Reboot.
You will need to set the lock screen password/pattern again, if you had any before.

That's a bit harsh. We have had Redmi 4 prime, 5 plus, note 7, 8, 10 and mi 11 lite and I have not had significant issues during upgrades.

Dear friend, my phone is Redmi Note 7 Pro. I had no issues after doing this. It worked perfectly for me. So, as I saw this forum thread before fixing my phone, I just shared the information I knew. Not everyone will get the same result from this, because not everyone has the same phone. So, whether or not you didn't get the expected outcome, you shouldn't tell others to not follow this. It's their choice, not yours. Maybe atleast some of them will find it useful than you did.

Thank you very much.
This works for my RN10Pro using MIUI13.0.6, change the lockscreen setting in Nova, from admin to accessibility.
I can't double tap to close home screen anymore, but there's still home button in the lowest middle to do that.
The most important thing is, I can directly go to home screen just by touch the fingerprint button.
Thanks for your advice.
If you guys are talking about the fingerprint button then i suggest you just use the gestures that are provided by default of the settings since there nust be a spatial consisting of failure of recognizing the algorithm of identifying user by fingerprint method or they just didn't implement the algorithm that is stored inside the operating system of the phone.
So gestures is the only way to go you can apply gestures by using monetary apps that may give access to other gestures like slide down to view user statistics or usage and slide up to reveal system settings but i couldn't blame the operating system though for having not enough gestures but I'm also. Thankful that they have custom gestures so i wouldn't imply to an app that can be placebo or popular in playstore who knows it can be money cashgrab(just stating the fact that i had to cancel so many subscription on a gesture app)
