Using fingerprint sensor as back button - Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
a couple of days ago I updated my Honor 7 from Lollipop to Marshmallow.
All in all I'm quite happy with Android 6 so far, but a few things are way worse than before, I think.
The feature I am missing most is using the fingerprint sensor as back button by tapping it once, I can't find any option in the settings menu to enable that.
Did anyone find out, how to reenable it?
Thanks in advance,
iuxn

Same boat!
I miss the back functionality of the sensor so much!! Someone please find a solution to this. And honor, if ur listening, please bring back the option. It was anyway an option! If it irked anyone they could just disable it! But what about people like me who loved it!! We have no option, especially now that I was so used to it

I concur. Keep clicking it to go back and it doesn't work anymore! My biggest gripe with Marshmallow over the Lollipop build for sure.

I'm using a custom ROM with justback xposed module. It's a slide gesture to go back. Don't need the virtual keys at the bottom now to free up screen space again. Still would like them to bring the fingerprint back button mind.

[Q] Other ways to turn on/off the screen without using the hardware button

I'm wondering if there's a way (app or manual edit of system files) to make the hardware buttons less used to keep them from getting soft
and for that I'm mainly focusing on the power button as it is frequently used, I have two ideas:
- taking the gesture from the new M8 which is by double tapping the screen, if you're a developer please tell me if it's possible to take that function from the M8 maybe edit it and make it work on the One Max!
- We have a great special thing called fingerprint scanner, and since it's not that good at identifying the owner's fingerprint but always works at identifying fingerprints of people, maybe we can use it to wake up screen by simply swiping the finger over it!
So here is my question and here are my ideas, if you have a good answer for me please share it in the comments!
Thanks XDA!
Also looking for a way to do it, but in my case the reason is my power button stopped working and the only way to wake the device is by plugging a charger. What could I use else before having it fixed by service?
for switching off i use nova launcher with the app "screen off and lock"
DoubleTap on screen now the max going off. (i do this with all phones)
But switching on with doubleTap i always searching how it can work. I have
no idea
my understanding is that without a modded kernel, turning screen ON with touchscreen taps is a no go.
an alternate is to use something like the xposed sense 6 toolkit feature "wake screen with volume buttons". granted it still uses hardware buttons, but at least the power button wont have to take as much "abuse" anymore.
for turning screen off, sense 6 tookit offers gestures on the homescreen. i have mapped swipe down to screen off.
i vaguely remember reading about another xposed mod that can map double tap on status bar to screen off.
just my 2 cents!
edit: i m using another xposed mod called "sense 6 lockscreen mods" that enables double tap to screen off on the lockscreen.

Try WTN by Wolandsoft. Works perfect for me. I was looking for a way to turn on the phone in the car while driving. This works perfectly.

Oxygen OS home button lag

So I was searching for the greater part of the last month, how to fix the home button lag issues.
And while disabling the double tap and long press questionably helps the situation, it doesn't actually fix the root cause: Oneplus' shoddy coding.
The issue is the Oneplus launcher. Simple fix is to download Google's Google now launcher from the app store. You could also use another ROM, but then you lose the fingerprint reader/laser focusing.
Bonus for you, if you have Xposed installed is that with Xposed GEL you can modify many of the launchers settings to your liking ... As long as Google doesn't break the GEL developers' app.
Hope this helps some of you. I'm now very happy with how this Oneplus two runs. And although we shouldn't have to do this out of the box, it's not too hard if you put in the effort and patience (plus you'll learn a thing or two about your phone).
Here's my configuration: Oxygen OS 2.1.1, Boeffla beta5 hotplug 2-4 & 0-4, Google now launcher, Xposed with Gravitybox.
I have been on Nova launcher from day one, and not a single hint of lag on the home button.
I loved to get rid of the this bug, but I really like oxygens shelf. In fact, it's the only thing that isn't crappy about their rom. Any chance to get this oder something similar with another launcher?
I have tried nova and action launcher sometimes my home button just stops working for sometime even the fingerprint scanner stops working.. I had to reflash 2.1 zip! And finally it my home button was back and then yesterday suddenly my home button again stopped working and I was pretty much frustrated abt this issue so I just removed the screen protector and it worked and even my fingerprint scanner suddenly became more awesome as it was just 80-85 % before.. now it's 99%.. I don't wanna return my phone as I heard it is some problem with the one plus fingerprint drivers.. And even few of 'em who got their phones on October had the same problem returned for replacement but they got the model manufactured from August.. So i think it's really not hardware it's a software issue!

Google launcher is very similar to oxygen. You may not even be able to tell the difference ... And shelf is just recent apps (which GNL has in the app drawer) and recent callers list ... Which is in the recent callers list ...
you can fix lag in every buttom only if you disable function for double touch and large touch
Google Launcher jsut updated this morning. Give it a try. Also disable the double-tap function on home button.
Also using the screen bar buttons solve the problem. Releasing a phone with this kind of problems is a scam.

what?
fwiw, i don't seem to have any "lag" when the long press and double press is disabled.
But of course there is a lag when they are enabled. the phone HAS to have some way of realizing that you're not going to press it a 2nd time, or that you're not going to hold it down. how else is it supposed to do that? go to the home screen IMMEDIATELY and therefore not giving you enough time to press the button a 2nd time ?
lol use your brains people
oh and before anyone says.... i've used many roms on many phones which utilise the "double tap" and "hold home button" for different functions. every one of them has had a slight lag before it goes to the home screen. i dare say that you're remembering thing with rose tinted glasses if you're adamant that this phone is worse than those at this.

With double tap disabled it also has lag with Oxygen default launcher. If you design something with lag by default, it is a really bad design. Try any nexus device (even nexus 4 is faster) or the OPT with cyanogenmod and you will see what speed is.
what? i don't think you understand what i wrote.
Nova launcher is the solution, still my best purchase from play store...
Hi Guys,
I have the same problem. I bought my OP2 during open sale, and i received a phone from the 06/08/15 batch. I have also a home button which is not very "responsive", but i think it's a hardware problem due with th metal frame. When I use a case, i don't have this pb and the home button is very responsive ( as it should be).
DO you guys experience the same?
I'm using Catapult Launcher. It's a fork of Trebuchet Launcher from Cyanogenmod. Works pretty good ... no laggs.

Fingerprint Scanner Problem in 6.0 MM

Hi guys!
I really love this phone, but I have a really, really, really annoying bug. I have only 2 days with this phone (MM updated since the first day). When I try to unlock with my finger it works most of the time, but in some occasions it ask me for the knock code or the pin directly, giving me no chance to use my fingerprint to unlock the phone. This is really annoying because I want to use the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone and it does not let me. Does anyone have the same problem with the V10? Any ideas for a possible solution? Thanks a lot!

We have this problem too and assume you are using a third party launcher (Nova, Google, etc). Switch back to LG stock launcher and it fixes the problem. Think it has something to do with the lockscreen permission changes from Lollipop to Marshmallow.

I'm actually using Nova. I will switch back to LG Stock Launcher (uggly, by the way), and I'll tell you if it worked or not for me. I'm thinking on the same about te permissions in MM. There is no way to upgrade permissions from the settings or something like that to keep using a third party launcher?
Thanks a lot for the help!

I ran with LG's launcher for the past couple of weeks and since the recent beta updates to Nova shows no sign of a solution, I've reverted back to Nova and just switched to pattern unlock for the time being.
You know, even using nova, you can double tap the notification bar to turn off, and still use the fingerprint to unlock.

^ Incase anyone of you missed it, the finger print scanner works if you double tap the notification on Nova Launcher to lock the screen.
hi guys... i too have issue with finger print... my problem on MM is that i cannot even set up a finger print.. its like hard ware issue.. but i do hope its a software issue...
i did took out the case..even the back cover.. but still nothing. wont detect finger when i set up

Try to factory reset, or change the unlock method to a different one, and then go back to fingerprint.
already did.factory reset by lg bridge..hmmmm
. i do hope its only a s/w issue. huhuhu
may due to mainboard problem
i also met this problem.
after restart, restore or refresh kdz, nothing changed...

Speak for yourself. :laugh:
I'm on MM on my H960A AND I'm using Nova Launcher since the first day. Never had this issue. I only had a problem once after unlocking the bootloader. You have to enable "OEM unlock" in the developer settings prior to unlocking the bootloader and I did not disable that option again afterwards. The fingerprint sensor did not work at all with this setting enabled. You can register new fingerprints but unlock does not work.
Since I disabled this option I have no issues with Nova and fingerprint. Should you have unlocked your bootloader as well make sure you disable "OEM unlock" again.
I'm on MM and using Nova prime but I don't have any problems with the Fingerscanner!

Hi!
I have this phone for 4 days and i had the same problem like you,
I use to lock my screen with third party applications like:
Greenify or Screen Off and Lock
And for this i have the same problem like you,
If you had the third party application for locking your phone, you can uninstall them or lock your screen by double top or power button.
Good Lock!

I've had this problem also. It seems to have started after a security update from T-Mobile.
Try this fix and let me know how it works for you:
Follow these steps:
1)Goto settings -> fingerprint & security -> fingerprints -> then delete all fingerprints
2)Then goto apps -> switch to show system apps(im using 6.0) -> find com.lge.fingerprints then remove data and cache memory.
3)Goto storage & usb -> clear cached data
4) Then restart your V10
5) After that, add fingerprints in fingerprint lock then it detects your finger.
If it doesn’t detect your finger, repeat the steps.

[HOW TO] Increase touch sensitivity and Double-Tap-To-Wake Functionality(Force Touch)

First of all, thanks to @xtermmin for pointing me in the right direction for this.
Steps to increase touch sensitivity and get DTTW functioning better:
Download Shortcut Master Lite
Hit the ellipsis at the top right and click App Explorer (Yes to the error)
Tap anywhere to get the loading circle to go away and find something called Force Touch
In the Force Touch menu, select ZteLCDPressureSettings and hit Launch
Here you will find some options.
Tap Pressure Sensitivity and move the red dot slider all the way to the left where the green "Light" is.
Back out of the menu and you are done.
There are some other things under features that may be of interest as well to some people.
Additionally, there are a couple other items in the Force Touch menu that could play a role in ROMs down the line. The "Press Image" option has a toggle within that item but it does not stick upon backing out and reentering the menu.
If you find anything else of interest, please let everyone know so we can make this the best phone we've ever owned.
Thanks!
Awesome, T2W works better now.... Thanks

This definitely helped! Kinda odd that there is a slight delay from when you double tap and when it actually wakes. I remember the LG G2 responding more quickly with this feature. Also miss the double tap to lock screen too that almost no other phone had (though with nova launcher and an app, you can do this). Regardless, I'm glad the functionality is there.
What's interesting about this little hack is that it clearly is using the force touch settings that will be found in the 6GB RAM model that has a force touch display. Funny how it remains in the ROM anyway, just tucked away since this model doesn't use force touch.
Can I remove the vibration when I use the double tap to wake?
This has made 0 difference for me. I've got a 64gb US variant. I've also noticed double tap to wake stops working when the phone is in Doze. Anyone else have this issue?
Same same with doze, but when my phone isn't deeply asleep this tip indeed increased touch sensitivity.

It's there by default on the US model, at least.
While this definitely improves DT2W functionality, it's still temperamental. I find that now it responds best to very light touches, but harder taps are ignored. If I tweak it to be less sensitive, it does exactly that: it requires a harder touch at all times. Why can't it just respond to a range of touches? My G3 worked just fine in this regard.

Totally agree with this. It's still very inconsistent, but mine does work if I slam it twice as well as tap it lightly twice. It doesnt always work and it's still delayed. This was sort of a bandaid for a bigger problem though. I hope CM, and ....probably nothing else? at this point...can address it further.

Quite honestly, the Axon 7's story is perpetually: "[insert company here] did a better job of implementing [insert feature here]". There is very little (if anything) that the Axon 7 does better than the big manufacturers, IMO. It does a passable (sometimes even decent) job of most things, though - and at an appreciable discount - which is why I still have mine. It's a budget flagship. It's high-trim Toyota versus a Lexus. Add to that the potential for improvements via software (which is the source of many of my complaints, really), and I think it's a solid buy with quirks I'm willing to live with for a little while as ZTE steps up and makes improvements.
Yep exactly from hardware point is very very capable device but from software although it's pretty good level but there's still staff for many improvements.
Axon 7 is my first Chinese smartphone from Chinese company until now and I'm quite pleased with the all package offering having it 5-6 days,but I would like to see from ZTE much more effort and listening the user base and bring as much improvement and tweaks to the software.

Recommendations for reproducing Motorola's Active Display?

My last phone before this one is the Droid Mini. So far the Z5C is infinitely better in everything (but my expectations/standards are pretty low...) except that the Active Display feature from Motorola was awesome. From a bit of Googling, there are some other apps that copy this functionality to various degrees, but maybe some of you can give more specific insight than the articles?
1.) First of all, I'm confused. This article below states that Motorola released the app on Google Play Store for the general Android population... but it doesn't come up when I search it on my Z5C. What the hell?
http://gadgetstouse.com/featured/to...lay-notifications-alerts-android-device/19901
2.) If the Moto app is not available, any opinions on the alternatives? From reading a few articles, sounds like Dynamic Notifications is my best bet. Thoughts?
I tried xposed module, but it used proximity sensor, so it is not the same thing. I also miss that feature a lot from my nexus 5x, double tap to wake is kind of replacement when phone is laying on the table. When you take it out from a pocket, pressing the button isn't such a big deal. I couldn't find any reasonable replacement so I learnt to live without it
I really don't understand why other manufacturers don't copy-cat this feature. It was without question the greatest feature of my old phone.
I tried out Dynamic Notifications, but it's weird. First, it didn't play nice with the existing lock-screen and login structure. When I had a notification, pressing the power button no longer took me to the lock screen -- instead it just turned off and locked the screen. It's as if Dynamic Notifications became a second lock screen, and the power button toggled it on/off, and I had to tap the home key to get to the actual lock screen. On top of that, after getting to the actual lock screen it seemed to somehow screw up the fingerprint login because I kept getting prompted to use my other login method (PIN in my case). Most weird of all, it had some crazy bug when I used Uber. I was trying to check where the Uber car was on the map, and it threw me to the Dynamic Notifications screen, with the Uber notification showing. I logged in again, pulled up Uber again, checked the location of the Uber on the map, and it instantly did it again! And again... So screwed up.
TL;DR: Do not use this app, at least not on this phone. It's buggy and/or just makes you jump through extra hoops when logging in.
Yeah I also have double tap enabled. It's okay I guess.
Nexus 5x had a dedicated hardware sensors for that matter, I guess that may be the problem. Anyway I agree with you that every manufacturer should implement it.
I would try AcDisplay for the lock screen and if you want raise to wake, try Gravity Screen . Be warned though, Gravity Screen is kind of glitchy with the fingerprint sensor, so I would just use AcDisplay. ^_^

That video that is on the app download page shows how you can wake up the phone using proximity sensors, when pulling it out of your pocket or even waving your hand over it... But none of this works at all. Not even a little bit. Does that mean that the Z5C does not have any proximity sensors built into it?
