Lock screen apps

[mfog977]

Hello guys (this is the first time I've written you a thread),
to avoid to put under stress the power button (I've a nexus 6p), what's the best lock screen app?

I will be grateful for any help you can provide.

Well, I don't use one, but lots of people like this because it has tons of options: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...m.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree&token=6dAj9Qbz

Thanks for the reply.
I'm looking for something like this: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...s?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&token=OIr9zaUN (a very simple app)
but after lock screen with the app above-mentioned if you unlock with the fingerprint sensor android ask for pin.

Yes, and most of the "simple" apps seem to have that problem; Gravity has a workaround for it. Also, if you pay the $2.89 fee for the unlocked version, it comes with a number of widgets that can be used to immediately turn off the screen just like your simple app does.

Thanks N4Newbie.
I'm waiting for the "bug fix"

I guess I'm not really clear on what you're asking for - you want a method to turn the screen OFF without using the Power button, or you want a method to turn the screen ON without using the Power button?
If the former, just set a very short timeout for the screen; if the latter, just use the fingerprint sensor to wake the device.

I don't understand what a special lock screen app has to do with either of the scenarios that I listed.

I've been very happy with Next Lock Screen, but that's just me.
