Hi,
So when I get a call, that I do not want answer or decline, I switch off the screen by pressing the lock button. As soon as the screen turns off, it lights up again. It bothers me a lot. I thought maybe I'm using the finger to lock which has its fingerprint registered. So, I tried locking it with other finger and the result remained the same. When my phone rings, I want my phone's screen to turn off when I press the lock button but it does not do so, not completely because it lights up again immediately.
Is anybody else facing this issue? Is there a way to fix it? I did not have this problem in my previous phone. So I guess it is an issue and not a part of normal operation.
Thank you!
Are you using miui ?

Try removing all the registered fingerprints , just use A Pattern/PIN and check if your issue is solved. Do report back.

Ok I'm feeling a little dumb lol. On thr AT&T variant, the fingerprint sensor is not waking up the device when locked and screen off. Am I just missing a setting somewhere?
The international version works just fine to wake up and unlock screen, but the AT&T version doesn't.
Any input?
Works for me

My att note 8 works as expected with this. Maybe a setting i forgot about enabling. Perhaps power save more disables this ? Are you using power save?
Edit- tested with power save. This doesn't seem to be the culprit.
Ok there's a setting where you scan in your prints. It's a toggle you must enable. That should do the trick.

Do you have this option ?

Yup it's under lock screen and security then smart Lock. You wanna select the first option and it should automatically unlock to home screen when using your fingerprint.

Screenshot didn't come through, but if you mean the fingerprint unlock toggle, yes I have it on.
Could you fix the problem?
Could you fix the problem? I bought Galaxy S9+ AT&T version and it seems has the same problem.

The only way I could get it to work was to set screen to lock immediately with power button. Can't remember the exact setting title, but I think it's Settings/secure lock settings
Basically if you set the screen to lock as soon as it turns off it'll trigger the fingerprint to turn on screen immediately.
It worked!!! Thank you very very much. Really appreciate it. I was one step farther to return the phone.

I just wanted to say thanks. I flashed my unlocked Note8 with the AT&T firmware to see if it is worth the bloat. On the unlocked firmware I never had to make that change, it was always on. I don't know why I didn't think to check that setting and I don't know why AT&T would set it to ten minutes, there are so many things that can happen in ten minutes. Thanks!
Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knows if the phone is in standby and the screen is off can you just touch the finger print scanner to turn on and unlock, or do you have to double tap and or hit the power button first? ! Also, if the AOD is on can you just touch the scanner to unlock? I figure AOD should let you and lift to wake would work. Just not sure if the screen is off if you need to go through an extra step to get the scanner to work, as I don't have my unit yet and can't test it all. Thx!
screen off, yes you can just touch it and it will unlock. no need to wake the screen.

Awesome! Thank God. As I had seen videos on YouTube that showed people hitting the power button first to initiate the screen on then touch the scanner and I was aggravated if that was the case lol :highfive:

Yeah I think they're just trying to fully demo. It works screen off, AOD mode, screen on... whichever way you want it. Since its not optical it doesn't need to light the screen

That's what my gut told me.. thanks for clarifying and reinforcing my thoughts and Hope's! 2 more days and I can play, ceramic white S10+ 512 baby:fingers-crossed:
Strange thing is happening recent to me...
Namely, while using headphones while talking on the phone, the unit gets unlocked while in pocket and problems arise with spontaneous keys getting activated.
If even cannot be explicitly locked by pressing the power button.
Have not found a solution to this problem, and it's strange why the proximity sensor does not work in pocket.
Cannot remember whether this was previously, or is it since last ROM upgrade.
Anyone having same problem?

Yep I have the same thing... Today my pocket took 9599295 pictures and movies.. also when I'm a bit sweat my pocket dial random numbers. I've noticed that when screen is touched and disnt recognize fingerprint then whole lockscreen shows up and its easy way to random open dial or camera... Its rly anoying, because I dont want to hide phone screen outside of the skin. (Its easier to break screen if I hit something with my leg.)
Dunno why it doesnt use proximity sensor to recognize that phone is in the pocket like every other brand... :/
Do you have the double tap to wake up activated?
I had this problem a while ago and it was the double tap that played all kinds of tricks calling emergency and taking pictures in my pocket! Disable double tap to wake up screen and the problem goes away.
Disable the fingerprint icon on when the screen if off.

Tried everything but the problem is eventually still there. Actually I've found a bug, namely the display will wake up once touched several times near the center of the fingerprint reader. Try it yourself.
Not nice - cannot avoid to happen it sometimes even if all options are disabled.

I didn't have this problem. If I try now and touch the part with the scanner, doesn’t have to be just the centre of the scanner, rapidly around ten times the lock screen will turn on, but nothing happens when I touch the shortcuts. Perhaps they are disabled, so the only thing that happens if the scanner is touched again is that the numpad to unlock with pin appears.
This is not good as it may severely affect battery life if it happens a lot. This clearly must be a bug!

Even worse, since it is happening all the time while on a call via BT and my phone is in the pocket. I am now thinking about to switch over to my old MI8...
Cannot understand why the keyboard is not disabled in the pocket. Seems so easy to do it but it's as it seems on.

My only solution was to buy a flip case. At first, I disabled the fingerprint reader by removing all fingerprints and setting up face recognition, but this didn’t fix the problem you are talking about. I don’t really like flip cases, but the Nillkin QIN Smartcase is rather good.
So now I ‘m eagerly awaiting a fix from Xiaomi so I can strip the Mi9 again!

Disabling the fingerprint icon has no effect on the problem we are talking about here. The only way to make the problem go away is to remove all the stored fingerprints thus disabling the use of fingerprints all together. This will shut off the fingerprint sensor doing away with this problem in a crude way.
If you really are looking for a setting, please use the search function at the top of the settings.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I don't have the problem and just wanted to know where I can disable the fingerprint icon. Thanks again.
New uppdate out that include Pocket Mode. MIUI-V10.2.27.0PFAEUXM EEA version.
Anyone else having this issue? I have to either tap phone or tap power button to get screen to turn on, then face unlock will work. Previously I would be able to just hold it up to my face with screen off and it would just unlock. After most recent update it no longer does this. Very frustrating.
Check maybe lift to wake phone is turned off in the settings.

Mine was doing that too...along with auto brightness stuck and the proximity sensor wasn't turning the screen on and off during calls. As a last resort before sending it back (since I had to wipe it anyway) I tried the first android 11 beta (not 1.5). It almost completely fixed everything but the proximity sensor. Still had to occasionally tap the phone or power it on to face unlock though. Google replaced it because of the proximity sensor. The replacement phone is working fine on latest update of 10

Good to know. Haven't wiped just yet, may do what you did there.

I really didn't have ANY bugs that I found with beta 1....read 1.5 has some issues. Is your proximity sensor working? I used androsensor to confirm
edit I did wipe face data before erasing

My prox sensor is working fine. It just won't face unlock with screen off. Turned on lift to check phone and now screen wakes without me having to do anything but still, there was a time where I had that feature off and face unlock would unlock with screen off

I am unable to turn off the screen during calls and also google meetings by clicking the power button.
On clicking the power button the screen turns off and then turns on the next second .
Does anybody have any workaround for this?..

Maybe, if you have the fingerprint sensor activated for screen unlok, it Will always awake you phone. Try it with fingerprint turned off, just to make sure if this is a valid solution.
Best regards.

Thanks for replying but it doesn't work I tried....
It is a proximity sensor issue and Xiaomi is aware of it. Unfortunately, no solution yet.
