Nova launcher screen lock question

[Scottomatic11111]

Hello,

I have Nova launcher installed and use the double tap shortcut to lock the phone and turn the screen off. I started using the face unlock feature on the S10 and now when I double tap to lock the lock screen comes back on for about 5 seconds. Is there a way to fix this?

Don't look at the phone? If it sees your face, it should unlock.

When I double tap on the home screen to lock the screen, the screen blanks out for a split second and comes back on to the lock screen, but the face unlock doesn't attempt until you swipe up on the lock screen. It's different than turning on the screen with the power button where the face unlock will scan you immediately.

Couple things , did you grant nova or accessibility to lock the screen on double tap , the other make sure lock screen timeout is immediately instead of default stay on after lock for 5 seconds.

Yeah, Nova launcher has accessibility granted. I changed the lock screen timeout to immediately and it still seems to be doing the same thing. The screen gets locked after the double tap but just doesn't shut off immediately like it did when I just had fingerprint set up and not the face unlock

That's strange because I have everything like you to replicate the problem but it works for me , maybe restart nova launcher see what happens.

OK I tried force closing nova launcher and also tried uninstalling it and reinstalling and it still is doing the same thing. The first time I tried the double tap gesture after reinstalling nova it worked correctly, but after that it didn't

Do you use AOD?

Do you use AOD?

Yeah, I had it set to tap to wake, but I tried the other options and it didn't make a difference. Also just tried re-entering my face data and that didn't help. I tried on my wife's S10 and it was also doing the same thing on her phone. We both have the unlocked model

So strange, does your face unlocke look like this?

 

[Scottomatic11111]

Yeah it looks the same

Maybe needs a restart to take affect

One last shot , biometric > preferred unlock>fingerprint ?

I think I might of found it
in nova settings all the way to bottom >advance > how nova locks choose device admin instead of accessibility.

Just tried it both ways, no difference. Thank you for your help, I really appreciate it

Just tried that and it works, but then you have to unlock your phone with your pattern instead of biometrics. I'm wondering if it is some bug, because the accessibility option in nova says the lock gesture should act like the power button, but locking my phone with the power button works correctly while the gesture doesn't
