Huawei Nexus 6P :: Possible To Configure Fingerprint Sensor To Turn Screen Off?
Nov 24, 2015
I'm enjoying using it to turn the screen on with a verified fingerprint, but find myself at times thinking that long pressing it will also turn it off. Seems like a neat feature, but before I think too much of it, is it something that can be done?
The N6P has got the same fingerprint sensor than the mate s. Is it possible to get the scrolling feature with the fingerprint sensor as a touchpad for photos and browser ... working? This would be very usefull especially when reading long text.
My new 6P arrived and my favourite feature is the Imprint sensor to turn on screen and simultaneously lock it. Having my phone be alive when i pick it up and screen off when I don't is a real feature - what I was wondering is could we use the Imprint sensor to get around the problem where you're browsing and your screen turns off due to display time out. If it were possible to have the imprint act as a "keep the screen on, I'm using it" button it would be fantastic.
I use Zooper Widgets on my Widget Locker lock screen but it seems like using the fingerprint sensor isn't possible with Widget Locker. Is there any way to use it on a lock screen other than the stock lock screen? Another app? Or is there any way to use widgets on the stock lock screen?
Is it possible on the Nexus 6p to use the finger print scanner to unlock apps with the finger print scanner on the phone without using it to lock the phone and having to setup the PIN lock?
Is it possible to assign a finger print to open an app? Is there a mod for this or is it in marshmallow somewhere? I want to have various fingerprints unlock into different apps. Or while my phone is unlocked using my middle finger to open Google. My ring finger to open camera, etc..
I really love openness of Android and I always prefer root access on my Nexus devices. But I have read at a few places that, if we root our nexus 6p, fingerprint scanners might not work. Is it true? Will there be a possible solution to make fingerprint sensor work even after rooting in future?
I just upgraded from a Huawei Mate 7 and it had the option to protect individual apps via fingerprint. Is there any way to lock app with fingerprints on the nexus 6p. Like a app in google play. I know there are some aps for galaxy devices but I haven't seen anything that will work on the nexus?
I haven't received mine yet, but probably one of the first things to do is unlock the bootloader. Does the fingerprint verification/ unlock still works with an unlocked bootloader.
The 2 things for me is the fingerprint scanner takes just a bit longer to where the extra delay is noticeable, and my battery is draining a lot quicker than before.
Lightflow making the phone screen turn on randomly when sitting on a table? The colors for the notifications are correct, but becausue of the screen coming on alot randomly this is going to kill the battery life. I even enabled a setting to reduce this in light flow but nothing works. How to have lightflow working correctly?
What is going on with this fingerprint scanner? It worked well for the first few months. Now It:
1) automatically buzzes and attempts a scan 5x in a row when I press the unlock button then locks the phone and requires pin. 2) does not even show the fingerprint scanner in the diagnostic menu 3) does not allow me to even register new fingerprints - I open the fingerprint software to scan new fingerprints and it closes.
I've attached an image.
This has to be a software glitch. I've already resetted my phone and same thing.
Every time I try to unlock my phone with my finger, it keeps saying try again and have to put my passcode.
Then I go to settings to delete the fingerprint and create a new one. So then I let it read my finger, after resting my finger on the home button. After lifting and resting my finger on the home button for about 10-13 times, I get this error every single time. What can I do to fix it? I keep drying my hands and cleaning the home button but that doesn't . On the first day I got the phone, it worked perfectly but in about a few weeks, it's not working correctly.
Its simply is that when I press the fingerprint sensor to bring the screen on, it starts yelling 'Swap too fast/too slow' bla bla bla BEFORE any actual fingerprint scan and it keeps doing it until I pres the sensor again to turn screen off. Tried disabling and enabling it, cleaned the sensor hardware gently but nothing has helped so far........Its Atrix 4G (till 4G i assume all parts will already go, just 4G will be left) on gingerbread 2.3.4...GB version.
I recently cracked my screen on my sony xperia z3. When I turn the phone from it's sleep mode, it automatically presses random buttons because the screen is broken and the sensors are all messed up now.
I'm currently using an OTG adapter to navigate but, I'd like to know how to turn of the screen touch so that it doesn't randomly hit apps or buttons while its on and instead uses the mouse via the OTG adapter only. is there a setting/option to do that?
I have my device unlocked, not coded - european version. It was all good no problems with anything. Just last night i went to sleep and when I woke up in the morning I noticed this error on my S6:
"An error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor. if this message appears repeatedly, restart your device."
Clearing cache did not work. Nor did the factory reset... Tried running fingerprint test by typing *#0*# on the phone app but it stopped with no result so I guess there must be something wrong with the fingerprint scanner.
so I've had my Galaxy S6 and the fingerprint sensor has always worked fine. Yesterday it worked great all day long at work, then when I got home, it wouldn't work at all. I rebooted and still it wouldn't work, I cleared cache and data, did the hardware test, and it passed. It still didn't work, so I erased the fingerprints, and retrained my right thumbprint only. Now it seems to unlock with any finger of anybody! As long as they touch lightly, it unlocks about 90 percent of the time.
is there a way to turn off auto correct while still having it make suggestions? you could on previous builds but in mm it appears as though you either use spell check or not... there's no option to turn off auto correct.
Every time I use finger print to open my phone it always ask for PIN straight after, how do I turn off the PIN I just want to use finger print to open my phone?
Every so often my WiFi won't connect to my home router. Seems to happen after i leave for some time then come back home. I can see the network but cannot connect or turn off the WiFi. The only way for me to fix it short of a reboot is to turn on airplane mode turn off WiFi then turn off airplane nice. Otherwise the phone had been perfect. Stock non rooted.
So, the 6P is a sodding big phone and I have fairly small hands.
Switching on to an unlocked state using the fingerprint reader is easy. Switching off requires the power button, which means wrestling the damn thing into a position where I can press the button.
I've looked at a few apps that switch off the screen with a shake or gesture, but these always result in a pattern request to unlock fully when turning back on with the fingerprint reader. Looking at this thread, it seems the Nova Launcher double-tap off function results in the same secondary security challenge when switching back on.
I assume this is because the third-party double-tap/shake/gesture event is only turning the screen off, not actually locking the device as the power button would.
How to disable the data usage warning? I'm aware that I can just set the limit to a ridiculous amount and it will stop going off, but that's not what I'm looking for. I guess I'm just easily annoyed by the fact that there is no setting to turn this off. You can uncheck the box for "set data limit" but that still doesn't get rid of the warning.
I got my 6p last week and it's been running great until this afternoon. It got warm and the battery level drops by 70's at around 10am to low 30's at 4pm; during that time it was mostly on airplane mode with all sync/bluetooth/gps turned off.
When I checked the battery history it says that the GPS has been on for over 7 hours. I certainly did not turn on the gps myself (I turned off location), and I do NOT have smart lock.
Question: How can I determine which apps/processes turn on the GPS?
I also notice that "Miscellanenous" is responsible for 29% of the battery use.
Question: What the heck is that? How can I turn it off?
