Question Fingerprint brigs down notification shade - Google Pixel 6

If I hold my finger a fraction too long when I unlock the phone, the notification shade opens. This is very annoying. Any way to switch that off?

no issues here. I even tried to move my finger a little. maybe play with touch sensitivity? hope it just goes away for you

On the P5, swiping the fingerprint sensor brings the shade down.

[Q] Button Backlight Notification

Hi
Since there is yet again no notification LED on the SGS2 i was wondering if a Button Backlight Notification like for the original SGS is in the works.
thank you
NoLed already works
I think OP asked for a Button Backlight Notification, not a screen LED notification. If there were application which could allow to glow the touch sensitive buttons (Menu & Back) then it would be great.

NoLed has such an option. Besides, it's not important since the app has an option to shut the display off when the proximity sensor feels something close by (like when the phone is in a pocket or bag).

Oops! Didn't find that option, can you please tell me where it is? And also is there a way to turn the screen LED notification Off?
It's under 'Battery saving features', there's a check box for Dismiss with Proximity Sensor.

Thanks, but if I check that box only the screen goes off with a small red box moving on the screen but the Touch sensitive buttons are not glowing!

Yeah, I meant the second bit (about turning the display off in your pocket or whatever) and even then I think I meant the check box below, sorry - feeling a bit scrambled today.
I'm after something that will light up the touch buttons too

Hmm.......
I've looked that up but I can't find this feature. It looks like I've mixed things up with some forum posts, like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-730692-p-10.html
"The Menu and Back capacitive buttons also light up with screen notification. This has increased battery drain significantly."

Actually the option is "Proximity Sensor" just bellow "Dismiss with Proximity Sensor".

How do I add the flashlight to the 2nd screen?

I don't see the flashlight app from the quick menu in the list of apps I can add to the 2nd screen. Is there something I'm missing?

It's there when the 1st screen is off. Just swipe over to get to it.
Thanks.
Disable swipe shortcuts?
Is there a way to disable these swipe shortcuts on the second screen when the main screen is off? I keep mine in my pocket and the phone keeps turning on the flashlight, etc. while inside my pocket because it's triggering these shortcuts.
I like the second screen being on for notifications and such (especially because there is no notification light ) but like this morning I got to work at 92% battery because my phone was running the flashlight for my entire 10 minute commute.

The screen shouldn't be staying on in your pocket. It uses the proximity/light sensor to to shut it off when it's covered up.

"Shouldn't be" but it is. I also have pulled out my phone to be greeted with "You have incorrectly entered your knock code 5 times".
EDIT: I'm just now thinking this may be an issue with the tempered glass screen protector. After I get a case on it I will see if taking that off helps the prox sensor respond better.

I've turned the flashlight on plenty of times by mistake. When I grab the phone by the top with a couple of fingers and put it in the arm rest in the car, I'll notice that I have inadvertently turned the flashlight on.

Yeah... that's why I just wish I could turn those shortcuts off altogether since I really don't need them and I activate them by mistake way more than I do on purpose. I like second screen, but don't like that it can activate functions/change volume while the phone is locked and there's no way to prevent that besides totally disabling it while the screen is off...

Has anyone found out how to add the flashlight to the second screen? I removed it by mistake and now I can't add it back. It's not on the list of options (apps) to add...

Tap to wake

Hi. Just wondering if it has tap to wake or if placing your finger on the scanner will wake the device? Thanks
I am curious about this as well
from what I've seen on videos tapping on screen on the wrong spot would illuminate a purple fingerprint where you should put your finger, placing it again on top of that figure would unlock, an you have to actually press firmly not just slight touch as external FP sensors. If you press in the right spot at the first try it unlocks with only just that one single press. I'm hoping it is accurate enough so after we develop some muscle memory it unlocks at the first press 9/10 times.
I wished it had double tap anywhere to wake up/see lock screen/start face id though
Can confirm, tapping only shows where the fingerprint reader is. If you just straight put your finger on it the phone will unlock.
That is so good though..... No need to use power button. Plus if you use smart lock...i assume if your in your home or safe area.... You can avoid even using the fingerprint?

To be honest Mate 20 was silent about smart lock for now. It didn't auto suggest smart lock for any of BT devices I paired or the home Wi-Fi. Maybe I have to enable it manually. Weird the LG V20 I am coming from tried to shove that in my face on all ocassions.
... I did some digging, looks like smart lock for unlocking is not present (Smart Lock itself is on the phone).

LG V30 always on display and KnockON features in low light don't work

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.

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.

Question Fingerprint sensor

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.
