When the screen is off it works as a finger print scanner.. U just need to tap on the button ..no need to press it.. Have u set up the fingerprint scanner in setting??
When fingerprint gestures are on..Taping the home button acts as a back button whereas pressing the home button acts as a home button..
If these features are not working.. U may have a faulty unit

[TIP] Screen Off and Lock

Would you like to leave a tip of a software I'm using. Is the Screen Off and Lock. You can set up to make the screen lock just by sliding your finger on the button back or recent. At least to block not need to use the power button.
The application is available in the Google Store.

Try gravity screen. It uses sensors to lock and unlock the screen.

If you have root, an alternative is the Xposed module KnockOff. It works well with 4.4.2. Double-tap status bar. It's even a quick way to turn off screen when you only momentarily want to check lockscreen.
With Gravitybox, I have set long press in the "multitasking button" to turn off the screen. Also I have set the volume keys to wake the device. You should try it!

You don't need root for gravity - it's fantastic.
I've set it so it turns off when it's lying down face up, face down, and in my pocket. I don't even need to press the button or any button at all to turn it back on, just using the motion of picking the phone up is enough. If you want to lay the phone down but not turn the screen off, swiping your finger across the proximity sensor gives it a "5/10/20 minute timeout" where it won't turn off.
For me it relieves the paranoia surrounding power buttons as I've had a few phones now where the power button eventually dies, which makes sense, we can be turning our phones on and off for what feels like a thousand times a day!

Ah, my bad. Thanks for correcting my misinformation! I think I probably got carried away on how amazing I find Gravity. :good:
Hi thanks for that. YES. I tame extra precaution about power button.
I use a great app called. Tap tap tap. Des what gravity screen does but simpler and less features. Via the proximity sensor. Thanks for he app though
Moto G owners ought to know about those apps as soon as possible, so they won't screw the power button up just as I did. Even taking extreme care about the way I pressed and avoiding as much as I could the button is now shaking and it is not fixed properly.
Nice tips!
Another one I've been using is the Proximity Actions app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=novum.inceptum.proximity
It works with the proximity sensor. You can define waving and holding actions. Eg. hold your finger 1s over the proximity sensor and then lock/unlock, or to wave X times to lock/unlock
The bad is
- it install some ads that show in homescreen at random time
- you have to uncheck a checkbox before uninstalling! Be careful

In pacman ROM I use on screen buttons, and turn off capacitive buttons led.
Check screenshots here
Or try app "Power on volume" or something like that, but on-screen buttons are better solution

will this app let me assign the volume up to be a home button? anyone tried this?
Didn't try it ... also if you are rooted you can use gravity box to set long press action for back and menu keys if they are working for you..

Remove camera icon next to the Emergency call button

Can somebody please show me how to remove the camera icon next to the Emergency call button? I'm having so many accident camera shots while the camera is in my pocket.
Thanks,
M.
I'm sorry, I don't know how to do that. But is it possible that the double-click of the Volume Down button is triggering the pictures, not the on-screen shortcut?
If it's in your pocket, the proximity sensor should detect that, and prevent the screen from turning on, either by a double-tap to wake, or by pressing Power.
But I was able to make the camera start by covering the proximity sensor and double-pressing Vol -.
You're probably right. Is it possible to disable the double pressing Vol- feature?
Thanks,
M.

Never mind. I found the answer: just turn off the shortcut key.

Maybe you could try and use an APP to wakeup the phone with the proximity sensor, or marking a double tapping on the phone screen like:
Gravity Screen
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree
Wave to Unlock and Lock
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kimcy92.wavelock
Double Tap On/Off
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.allinOne.openquickly
There are many other good APPs that almost do the same, but not all of them work with the Fire-Phone, so you should test, to see which one works better...

Fingerprint gesture app that doesn't break OOS' swipe to view notifications gesture

Hey guys, anyone know of an app that doesn't the stock gestures? Particularly the drop down notifications menu.
I've tried with Finger Scanner Gestures but it broke the drop-down.
I'm looking to being able to lock the phone when long-pressing the fingerprint.
Thank you!
Its easier to reach the power button instead of the FP for long press ...
Weird options of yours

Thing is I don't know how much it'll last. I've experienced deterioration in the past with the power button. Also idk, it seems more comfortable to do it with the fingerprint.
I'd also love to get other gestures to work tho .
Why not remap one of the on screen buttons to lock screen function? It's a built in OOS feature and that way, you don't have to use the physical lock key button.
