Smart Lock disable swipe to unlock

Caffeineshock · Jan 13, 2019

on my older phones (xperia xz1) there was an option to disable the lockscreen at all if the device is unlocked by the smartlock. this way i only need to press the powerbutton to get to the homescreen.
was i could not find any settings or apps: anyone knows a way to disable the lockscreen while smartlock has the device unlocked?

I have a Note 9 (SM-N960F) model.
Stock Firmware, no root.
Using Nova Prime launcher.
I have Fingerprint unlock and Smart lock enabled.

If i pick my phone up from sleep (locked)
i either press/swipe down
where my Home button (not visible) should be and phone goes directly to Homescreen.
Otherwise, i use Fingerprint unlockfrom "sleep" directly to home screen.
No need to press power button.
I'm sure this is better options.?

Only if you reboot phone or randomly sometimes (it's a security measure) I have to manually unlock.

This is the exact problem
Of your phone is already unlocked you still need to swipe up. I don't want to see any lockscreens at all. Why is this even implemented this way.

What I want is being able to use the phone without any unnecessary swiping after pressing the power button. (Razer phone 2 and Sony had an option for this)

i think you misunderstood my point.
I was trying to describe my button press action.
You don't actually swipe nothing.
You don't see the lockscreen, at all.
Call it press etc,
where the home button is.
It unlocks to Desktop.
You don't see the lockscreen at all.

From device sleep,
i "press " Home button
and device goes straight to Desktop.
Fingerprint it's the same. It goes straight to the Desktop.,
( You don't see a lockscreen)
Good luck

Yeah i got it
But that's the problem: you still need to swipe up the lockscreens if you try to unlock by the power button. Unlocking via Iris or fingerprint or pressing the invisible home button world great and you skip the lockscreens completely. But after pressing the power button the is 1 more action that is needed.

On the screenshot you can see (in German) "unlocked by smart lock" after trying to unlock with the power button

dont use the power button.

use the finger print or home button in conjunction with smart lock policy.

you'll get better milage off of the power button this way.

Yeah... Don't use the power button...
No sorry not an option ^^

Is one of the reason I don't use it, and also because I don't know the effective range.

But leaving the home button enable requires to let the "screen touch sensor" active so it will inevitably consume more battery am I wrong?

Are you on Oreo or Pie?

On Pie, this works fine for me. I press the power button, it unlocks with intelligent unlock and goes directly to the home screen/last app. No swipe needed. Does the same when I press the hard press home button.

If you're on Oreo, do what bober10113 says.

I am on Pie, and I am constantly getting the lock screen where it says unlocked by smart lock, but I still have to swipe.
