Is there a way to have flashlight shortcut on the lock screen? Ideally by button press.
One of the most used function is missing on this phone
Draw a "V" on the screen whilst it's turned off and the flashlight will turn on/off

This doesn't work on X5 pro that I have
Did you activate the feature as described on the Oppo-site that appears after you click on my link?
It works on mine after doing so:
Go to [Settings] > [Gesture & Motion] > [Screen-off Gestures] > toggle to enable or disable [Screen-off Gestures].
You can also have more Screen-off Gestures by tapping [Add a Screen-off Gesture].
There are 7 more gestures to choose from.

Hi,
I'm starting to get really frustrated with my S10! When I have it in my pocket it's registering touches even though I'm not even touching my pocket I have my phone in.
I just got back home from my local gym and while I was exercising it has sent a photo from my gallery to different people on Facebook, even people from other places in the world who is not on my friend list.
I have enabled the option in settings to avoid accidental touches and the increased sensibility option is disabled as well and so is the raise to wake option.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Heya,
I think that's an issue with all Samsung devices running on Android 9. Its actually the Fingerprint icon and/or double tap to wake up feature.
Try doing the following :-
1> Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Motion and Gestures and then turn off "Double Tap to Wake".
2> Go to Settings > Biometrics and Security > Fingerprints then Turn off "Show icon when screen is off".
If that still doesn't works, go to the same settings page in Step 1, and turn off "Lift to Wake Up" too.
Let me know if it works out for you.
Regards,
Ankit S.

You can also achieve this via nova launcher. Although i am not sure about widget but you can double tap on the screen and it will lock the phone Check out nova settings for customizing the gestures and taps.
This setting is present without the use of any third party app.
Got the S pen but only use it for taking notes maybe once a day if that. Is it possible to toggle it on/off in the quick panel? I'd like the digitizer to be off to save battery. I guess the real question is - is there any way to add custom buttons to the quick panel that can toggle system settings? Does Good Lock do that?

AFAIK not available in stock rom.
You must root and "manipulate" system toggles or install a custom rom with this feature.

Disable button on stylus
I forget the name of the button on the stylus that launches the wheel thingy, but it would be great it it could be disable completely. I use Lecturenotes and it's great that I can disable the wheel pop up, but I can't disable the button...

Unfortunately there isn't an option.
Note: app compatible with any phone with 1080x2400 screen or lower. Probably higher too, try it. Also it's impossible to make such block when talking in messengers (more precisely, it's difficult). App won't work without gapps, rare case.
Instead of classic reliable optical sensor we have sucky ultrasonic one.
Sometimes it does not turn off the screen while phone call and something is pressed with ear or cheek up to dropping call.
Popular workaround is app "Call Proximity Sensor Fix" which automatically turns off the screen. Or you can press the power button immediately after the answer.
But IMHO this is inconvenient because if you need to look at something on the screen it will not turn on by itself which is so familiar.
My simple application makes screen insensitive to taps. And unlike analogs soft buttons and status bar are blocked too (but not gestures).
On screen will be translucent button that disables lock if you need to use the phone:
– Long tap on button - unlock (button will turn green)
– Short tap when unlocked - lock again
– Long tap when unlocked - remove button at all so as not to interfere with e.g. for entering text
When second call comes in screen will automatically unlock so you can easily answer or hang up. Then it blocks again.
When manually launching the application there will be a question whether to enable 4 seconds delay for an outgoing call. So you able to choose SIM card.
Made by powerful Tasker, the project was exported as standalone application via App Factory. Implemented via scenes with new full-screen blocking type.
Location of button adapted for default AOSP / Google Dialer. It can be misplaced for third-party dialers and / or interface scale. It's impossible to cover all possible variants. So if it really bothers you, install Tasker and project below. Then change coordinates of the buttons.
Installation
Follow manual carefully, otherwise nothing will work.
Application is safe and doesn't have internet access.
1. Download APK below this post
2. Install it via file manager and launch
3. Answer the question about delay, decision can be changed later by launching app again
4. Open Settings > Apps & Notifications > In-Call Screen Lock
5. In "Notifications" turn off them all completely, otherwise they will be annoy you
6. In "Permissions" enable everything: Contacts, Call List and Phone
7. MIUI: right there in application settings enable "Autostart"
8. MIUI: and in "Background" select "No restrictions"
9. Custom: Settings > Apps & Notifications > Advanced > Special app access > Battery optimization > All apps > In-Call Screen Lock > Don't optimize
10. Custom: Settings > Apps & Notifications > Advanced > Special app access > Display over other apps > In-Call Screen Lock > Allow display over other apps
11. MIUI: Settings > Privacy > Management > Special app access > Display over other apps > In-Call Screen Lock > Allow display over other apps
12. Settings > [MIUI: Advanced settings] > Accessibility > In-Call Screen Lock > enable "Use In-Call Screen Lock"
If you using Tasker
1. Download ZIP archive below this post
2. Extract file from it to phone/Tasker/projects
3. Tap on "House" icon at the bottom > Import Project > In-Call_Screen_Lock
4. If you don't need a delay on an outgoing call: delete / disable action #3 ("Wait") from the "In-Call Lock Start" task
5. Custom: Settings > Apps & Notifications > Advanced > Special app access > Display over other apps > Tasker > Allow display over other apps
6. MIUI: Settings > Privacy > Management > Special app access > Display over other apps > Tasker > Allow display over other apps
7. Settings > [MIUI: Advanced settings] > Accessibility > Tasker > enable "Use Tasker"
UPD: files updated, fixed small bug.

No.
Tested now on my RN10-pro... works just fine! Thank you!
Tested without gapps and it didn't work. I use the standard phone app from Arrow OS. I do all settings from your instruction.
There was no 4 seconds query of the sim card. The and no lock screen button.

Unfortunately, APK's exported by Tasker always have dependencies from GMS no matter actions it should perform. Sorry, I can't fix that.
I reinstal Arrow with Gapps and Install tasker. IT works great! Thx a lot! Now ist this Phone uesable.
Great application. Tested it via Tasker and works. Thank you so much!
Small question, if you do use the power button while in call to lock the screen and you unlock it again and then use your unlock button, it unlocks but the button disappears so you can't lock it again. How do I get the button back then?
Note: sensors are automatically calibrated and sometimes this creates a problem.
To cleanup and recalibrate the sensors, all you need to do is this:
Bash:
# dd if=/dev/block/by-name/persistbak of=/dev/block/by-name/persist conv=notrunc
For me that solved everything on official MIUI V13.0.12.0 (and previously on V12.5.9.0).

That's strange. I tested as you wrote and button visible, nothing in profile logic should block its appearing. I used clean Android 11 and AOSP dialer.
As possible workaround please test this: Tasker > tab "Scenes" > Lock On > tap on lock icon > tab "Long tap" > action "Show Scene" > tick "Block Overlay+"

That's legit for classic sensor, but I'm doubt, that ultrasonic store its calibration data there (if even have it). "Sensor" unreliable just by design.

Thanks for the information. Tested it and ticking the block overlay + fixes the issue. I guess it's because even though I'm able to tap the icon and other call icons the phone is still locked. I guess the overlay + makes sure that the lock off scene is still visible on the "lock" screen. I'm on Samsung One UI 4.1 with the native Google dialer.
Thanks for the help.

ultrasonic sensor can be even manually calibrated and the calibration is indeed stored and used.
Also: the ultrasonic sensor works in software, relying also on the position and angle of the phone.
If that measurement fails or is inaccurate, everything is ruined.
Trust me: try to do a fastboot flash of V13.0.12.0 then reset that partition as I said.
Then you can tell me if it improves or not.
For me now it works perfect both in DUO both in the stock dialer and messenger.

Hi Guys,
Is it possible to enable double tap to turn screen on and off on motorola edge 30 ultra?
Thanks so much !
Single tap only, double tap is omitted due to the in- screen fingerprint sensor, so as soon as u touch the screen, the screen comes alive (which is done in order to make fp-unlocking faster)

I have been looking for this setting for almost 10mins but I didn't find it anymore, but I'm sure it was there in the older OS version, my screen is still able to be turn on/off with double tap.

Here.
Go to Settings > Gesture shortcuts > Jump to lock screen
Toggle on and the phone will ask you whether you double tap to go directly to lockscreen (NOT peek display) or the usual peek display.
Go to Settings > Gesture shortcuts > Put display to sleep
Toggle on to enable.

It's been removed in the latest update. At least for EU devices.
I've the stock X30 Pro version. I can tell you some menu translation is all over the place. The "Jump To the Lock Screen" originally translated as "Double Tap" in the simplified Chinese language.
Under Display-> Peek Display, toggle the switch on and off, the phone will ask you to show fingerprint sensor or not. If you choose No, double tap WILL NOT WORK even if "Jump to lock screen" is on. It's surely a bug or something. Anyway a single tap always wakes up the screen and show "peek display" screen or "fingerprint sensor" icon, depends on what you chose before. Double tap when the screen is off will skip the "peek display" and goes into lock screen. AFAIK there's no true double tap to screen on so far......

Yeah, so the only way to turn on double tap to lockscreen is to enable Peek Display.
The behavior of the phone will be like this-
1. Single tap to peek display AND
2. Double tap to lock screen
It cannot be OR.
Also, once you turned on Jump to Lockscreen, you can NOT turn on "move phone to show peek display"
This is not a bug as the logic behind this is the phone's peek display will ALWAYS turn on once you moved the phone. Hence, impossible to double tap to lockscreen (you CANNOT double tap from peek display to go to the lockscreen).
