One of the main ways to protect your Fly smartphone is to lock the screen with a password, pin code or pattern. The simplest, but least secure way is to double-tap, when the smartphone is activated by double-tapping the screen. In this article, we will analyze how to install double-tap unlock and how to use this function.
Sometimes users are faced with a problem in which a smartphone or tablet cannot be turned on by pressing physical buttons. In this case, you can use a charger or double tap. The second method is valid only for those devices on which the Android operating system version 4.0 and higher is installed. Most new phone models have a highly sensitive display, so they are equipped with this function automatically. The user of a modern Android smartphone can set the option, in which the screen will be unlocked with a double tap even through gloves.
If your phone or tablet is not equipped with this function, you can use a special application (Knock Lock, Nova Launcher, Double Tap to Lock, Greenify, Smart Screen On Off). The simplest and most convenient is the Knock Lock application. After downloading it from the Play Market service, you need to proceed according to the following algorithm:
- launch the application;
- customize the area of the tapa by defining its area, width and height;
- save settings.
After that, you need to check if the double tap to unlock Android works. To do this, lock the phone again, touch the screen twice in a row and pull it. If the gadget is unlocked, then the application setup was correct.
There is also the Double Tap to Lock program, which saves battery power and also prevents the phone from unlocking if it touches any surface, for example, when it is in a bag or pocket.
Benefits of double-tap blocking
Unlike other ways to turn on the phone, double tap is characterized by simplicity and functionality. Different apps are equipped with different features that allow you to customize the unlock for yourself. For example, the Smart Screen On Off program prevents the smartphone from turning on if it moves horizontally. By activating some options, the user can avoid accidentally turning on the phone. The application can be configured in such a way that the screen lock will turn on as soon as the user puts the phone in a pocket or bag.
Knowing how to enable double tap, you can make your smartphone or tablet even more convenient and functional. In addition, with this option, you can unlock your phone even when
You use the power button for the smart screen off, but you are worried it's broken. And you are looking for a smart app lock to turn your smart screen on with just double click the screen off / on.

Hello.
I think that most of us on a mobile phone (or tablet) have files and information that we would not like to show ☺. There are many ways to protect it, but one of the simplest and most reliable is to put a lock on the screen so that no one but you can turn on the phone. (so that the Android phone can easily do this) .
Such protection, of course, will not protect you from professional hackers, but for most users it is not necessary. If you accidentally, say, forget your phone at work, then no one will be able to see your correspondence and photos. What, in general, is what you need!
In this article I will consider several ways how you can set up a screen lock on Android using various methods: pattern, PIN, password and special utilities.
Note: I recommend choosing a password that you will not forget. No matter how ridiculous it was, but more than once I had to meet with such a situation that people forgot their passwords in 1-2 minutes after setting them. Keep in mind that if you forget the password to unlock the screen, then in some cases it will be enough to enter data from your Google account, and in some you will need to reset the phone to factory settings (or even reflash).
Graphic key
By default, the Android screen is usually unlocked after a simple swipe of your finger across the screen (which will protect you only if the phone accidentally turns on, for example, in your pocket). Therefore, it is recommended to replace this method with a safer one ...
The easiest way to protect yourself is to use a pattern: the point is that you need to draw a small snake consisting of 4-9 points with your finger. If you know this "snake" - then it is done easily and quickly. Nevertheless, protection allows you to seriously protect your device from the prying eyes of prying eyes.
For example: even a snake of 4 points has 1624 combinations, and of 9 - 140704. it is very, very difficult to choose a combination by the selection method (when you do not even know how many points).
To establish this protection, you must:
Now, when you want to turn on the phone and see the menu, first of all, you will need to unlock the screen by entering the pattern. Until you enter it, the phone will be locked from the eyes of strangers ...
The PIN is a 4-digit type of password. Many users trust numbers more than graphic snakes drawn on the screen. In addition, the PIN code is used everywhere, for example, on bank cards, on SIM cards, etc.
To set a PIN:
Note: many people doubt the security of the PIN-code, ostensibly that it can be easily guessable. I can argue with them: in total, it turns out that you need to check 10,000 combinations. You need to sort through them manually, besides, after several incorrect attempts to enter the PIN-code - Android will block the password entry for 30 seconds. Those. a purely theoretically curious person will have to sit at your phone for more than one day! If your phone is left unattended for such a long period, I think that more than one password will not help you ...
Password
It is one of the most reliable lock screen protectors out there. The length of the password can be from 4 to 17 characters, taking into account that the characters can be both Latin and Cyrillic (large and small), plus numbers and special characters - all kinds of multimillion-dollar combinations are obtained. Even with the help of special software, it is extremely difficult to find a password.
To set a password, you must also open the settings in the following path: "Security / Screen Lock / Password" ... Next, you need to enter a password twice and select the option to show notifications. The password setting is shown in the screenshot below.
Special applications
Soft lock screen
Soft Lock Screen - screenshots of the application (from the developers)
The application allows you to easily and quickly turn on the smartphone screen lock, customize the wallpaper, choose a screensaver, calendar, weather, etc. The application really surprises with its bright colors and ease of use! If desired, the wallpaper on the screen saver will be changed automatically, new every day, delighting and surprising you.
Note: on some phones it is impossible (or problematic) to change the screensaver. The same application allows you to fix this.
Peculiarities:
- beautiful and user-friendly interface with HD wallpapers (by the way, all wallpapers have been tested by the program developers, so any slag will not be shown!);
- efficiency: developers have brought some of the most needed applications to the lock screen (for example, you can quickly turn on a flashlight, notebook, etc.);
- security: you can put a password or pattern to protect your smartphone (moreover, the key can be with photos of people close to you, see the photo above).
LOCKit
LOCKit- This program is designed specifically to protect personal data. In addition to directly blocking the screen, it is possible to block applications, photos, contacts.
In addition to this, there is a function of protecting the phone from theft - it helps to find the phone and catch the thief. By the way, such a thing as "Burglar's selfie" helps in this - a photo of the person who entered the wrong PIN code or drew a pattern is automatically taken.
Well, in addition, you can set HD wallpapers (nice and pleasing to the eye ☺).
PS
In principle, there are a lot of such applications, each with its own pros / cons. I think it makes no sense to consider dozens (hundreds) of these applications within the framework of this article. Everyone entering the play market can experimentally try and find an application to their liking.
What to do if you forgot your key / password?
In this I am not an expert, and I will give only the basic methods. By the way, I recommend that you look for an unlocking option specifically for your phone model (perhaps there is an option much easier than the universal ones offered by many authors).
1) Google account password
In the most innocuous case, after incorrectly entering the pattern (usually you need to enter 5 times), you should see a window prompting you to enter data from your Google account.
Enter your data, and if the phone was able to access the network (for example, connected via Wi-Fi), then you can reset the password.
Note: not always and not on all devices such a window appears with the ability to recover the password. Moreover, if the password was set using special applications.
2) HARD-Reset
This is a special reboot of the device that will restore the system to the factory settings. This deletes all user data: contacts, sms, passwords, applications, etc. All this data cannot be restored, so I do not advise you to rush to this procedure.
Hard Reset is usually used as a last resort when errors, failures, problems with the input of the device occur, when other methods do not work.
To help!
How to reset Android settings to factory settings (i.e. delete all data from your phone, tablet) -
3) Phone flashing
The topic is quite specific, if you have never dealt with this before - I recommend contacting the service center.
By the way, in some cases it is possible to enter the phone settings menu and disable the lock. To do this, wait until some notification appears, for example, that the battery is low and needs to be charged.
Despite such a seemingly simple lock, your phone is protected from most curious people (and you from unnecessary conversations, whispering behind your back, and gossip).
That, in fact, is all I wanted to say in this article.
Smartphone makers go out of their way to distinguish their black box with a screen among hundreds of similar ones. Everything from curved and dual screens to deep software modifications is used. The latter most often only bring performance and compatibility problems, but it happens that programmers manage to come up with something really interesting and useful. But this function usually does not remain exclusive for long - an analogue soon appears.
Always on display
This feature is often available in many smartphones with AMOLED display. Its meaning is to leave a small block of useful information on it instead of completely turning off the screen: time, weather, notifications - who has what.
The same feature can be obtained using the Always on AMOLED app. It has everything that we are offered in the stock firmware, and even more: integration with Greenify, work when Doze mode is on, display rules (only during charging, at a certain battery capacity and / or during a specified interval), locking buttons from clicks and other interesting things.
And it is not at all necessary to keep the screen on all the time. You can only activate it if you swipe your hand in front of the proximity sensor or remove your smartphone from your pocket. Just like the Galaxy S4. The display itself is also configurable when the program is running: you can turn on the display with a double tap or make it not react in any way to touches and button presses.
In general, the application is very decent, but with one huge drawback: it does not allow the smartphone to sleep, which will cause the battery level to drop right before our eyes.

Turn on with a double tap on the screen
Also a very common feature. Many smartphones (primarily LG and OnePlus) allow you to turn on the screen with a double tap and even launch certain applications by drawing symbols on the screen (while the display is off).
By default, any smartphone or tablet, after pressing its power button, offers to make a swipe across the screen. Only then will you be taken to your desktop. This is done so that the device does not perform any actions on its own while in your pocket. Google is doing everything to ensure that the lock screen is as convenient as possible. But sometimes people still wonder how to turn off the screen lock on Android. This can be done very simply.
But first, a little theory. Disabling the screen lock completely can lead to some problems. Google increases the functionality of the screen for a reason, allowing you to go directly from it to taking photos, making a call, and sometimes some other functions. If you don't like the traditional way of unlocking your device, then why not try another one?
At the time of this writing, the following types of screen locks are standard for Android:
- Swipe across the screen- the same traditional unlocking method.
- PIN entry is a very old method and is fairly secure. The simplest selection of a PIN-code does not work here, since after several unsuccessful attempts a timer appears - a new entry will be available only after its expiration.
- Graphic key- ideal for those who are better at remembering visual information, rather than a set of numbers.
- Fingerprint is the most reliable way to protect the information contained on your smartphone. It is almost impossible to outwit a fingerprint sensor.
- Iris- its scanning is implemented in Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 +. In the future, this unlocking method will be implemented in other flagship devices.
- Password input- the longest unlocking method. A password differs from a PIN code in that it can contain letters and other symbols.
There are many other lock screens to be found on Google Play. They may use other methods, such as solving a math problem. But this is more of a pampering than a real improvement of the existing system.
Eliminate the lock screen
If you want to remove the lock screen, you will have to delve into the settings. However, you should not be afraid. If you follow our instructions, the whole process will take you just a couple of minutes:
Step 1. Go to " Settings».
Step 2. Go to the section " Safety". Some devices skip this step.
Step 3. Select " Screen lock».
Step 4. Click here " Not" or " Missing».
This way you can turn off the pattern or remove any other type of screen lock. However, do not forget that the system may require you to enter a password or PIN-code, if one has been set. This is done for security purposes - what if you have someone else's smartphone in your hands? Therefore, you cannot remove the password from the lock screen without entering it.
What to do if you forgot your pattern or password?
Everything is much more complicated if you have forgotten your password, PIN-code or pattern. In this case, you won't even get to the settings section. Fortunately, on some devices, the problem can be solved. The graphical screen lock, after several unsuccessful attempts to enter the key, may offer to get to the desktop in a different way - by entering data from your Google account .
If Internet access is disabled on your smartphone, then you will have to reset to factory settings using Recovery mode. In this case, user files from the phone will be deleted, as well as all settings. At the same time, the screen lock will be eliminated - it will return to its previous form when you need to slide your finger across the display.
