Ok i appreciate the help but what I would like to do is have the phone unlock with "screen lock off" and then perform a swipe or gesture on it's own to get to the home screen, is that possible?

ok yeah I see that but as far as Gestures go, Isn't a gesture the same as a swipe? So basically you plug in the the X Y coordinates of your starting point and your end point and then the app completes the swipe based on that information. Although I can't seem to get it to work and it seems as though the screen goes black right before it happens even though I incorporate a "Screen On" action and a "Keep Device Awake" action. Heres my other macro that doesn't seem to work, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Yeah I've tried different UI Interactions including clicks, long clicks and gestures none of which seem to work does anybody know why the UI Interactions Action wouldn't be working on Macrodroid for Android?

I don't know why but this macro is working fine in my end. When trigger fired, screen turns on and the gesture swipes the screen really fast 😅 (250ms is fast). Since the 5minute timer of keep screen awake is running in background, turn on screen at the end of actions is useless unless you intentionally put it there it somehow fix the black screen. I have no idea why your screen goes black. Can you send a screenshot of that macro's logs?

What version of Android is your phone using?
What type of device lock are you using?
Unfortunately, Google decided in later versions of Android to prevent 3rd party software from unlocking the device. Consequently screen unlock will not work with any of the device locking types ie fingerprint, face etc.
There are a couple of work around I know.
1. Turn off device lock - not recommended.
2. Use a trusted device or location with secure lock enabled on your phone. I have used a smartwatch as a trusted device that worked quite well. Secure lock unlocks the phone from a screen on action. Note that in Android 11 Google introduced more stringent checks on trusted device unlocking, requiring periodically to manually unlock the phone.
I don't use smart lock on my current phone as the face and fingerprint unlocking are both accurate and extremely fast. Face unlock with lift to wake enabled unlocks the phone before I'm ready to use it.

these action set works for swipe up to unlock for me.
does your phone wants to swipe horizontally?
if yes, then use your co ordinates - keeping 'Y' same, as 122,917 >> 599,917 (check your x and y points),
try increasing gesture time from 250 to 350.
 
Make sure you enabled gesture in accessibility it works fine with me try calibrating it through this developer option
I've done this using pattern and you just need to adjust the wait seconds I mean not seconds cause I used milo second it took time to configure this kind of macro. So Goodluck

IMG_20220225_191052 (1).jpgBugün nasılsıncan you post a macro image to do this? coordinates don't matter.. just what should the ms setting be... one motion doesn't merge with the other
 
@Shoe can you help me... it's okay if you drop the macro you have.
I'm not active here anymore so pardon me for late reply, apparently I don't have any macro like this and I tried to configure one but always got wrong coordination, so I can't create and share anything for you but you can refer to rawa's instructions

I can relate to your frustration with the unlock screen macro. I had a similar issue and it drove me crazy. I think the key is to go to the main screen when you unlock it. Try swiping with two fingers, it worked for me. Also, if you're looking for a more efficient way to unlock your screen, check out https://bestphoneunlock.com/xfinity/. It's legit and it'll help you unlock your screen with minimal effort. You can find many services there that can help you unlock your phone systematically. Hope that helps! Good luck and keep us posted on how it goes.

To those trying, mine was working fine. With the gestures, I did increase the duration of the swipe (250ms to 520ms, probably too much), because with 250ms the swipe was not being recognized (didn't seem to go all the way up). Like when you try to swipe with you finger but the lock screen doesn't appear. Increasing duration solved this.
