Screenlock question - Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers

Hello guys,
i have a question for my sister's A40. When the screen wakes up it gets 2 screelock options, Fingerprint or Pattern.
On my S21 the option is only Fingerprint.
How can i make the A40 screenlock option with Fingerprint only without the Pattern option?
Thank you!

I dont think OneUi allows this kind of modification, all you can do is change the pattern for pin im afraid.

Lockscreen N00bish Question?

Hi,
Just wondered, is there a way to have a pin on the galaxy s, but also still get the lock screen before the pin screen appears.
At the moment i found a nice lockscreen, had it all set how i like it, but then when i set a pin code i only get a pin screen when i unlock the phone.
I hope you follow what im asking?
Anyone able to shed some light on this?
Could you be litle more detailed with your question????

I know that! But i dont want to go back to Miui. I find stock ROM with a good kernel responds and works better with better battery life IMO.
My question is this:
Set lock screen works great
Then set PIN and you ONLY get a PIN screen and NO LOCK SCREEN at all.
I hope that makes sense?
No one at all?
I use Locale with Password lock plugin they just working as you need, only password/pin requested, no screen unlock action required.
Ops, sorry, I was wrong. It also needs a screen unlock before the password/pin.

Why would you want that???
Pin lock is just a backup if the fingerprint unlock is not working.
When you put your finger on the homebutton it's scanning your finger and unlocking your phone, it's not a lockscreen bypass, at all.
Your phone is working like it should, a mod can close this thread

Not actually miss understhanding , maybe I couldnt explaine good.
I mean when Im using fingerprint to unlock on my phone.When I wake the phone with power button if I dont use my finger to unlock when I slide up .. phone unlock.. if I dont use my finger how phone going to unlock pin already setted.
I must be cant unlock but if I dont use fingerprint to unlock.
I think you have smart lock option ON. Turn it OFF in settings-->security&fingerprint.
Also it is hard to read your English, please translate it from Google Translate and then paste.

Fingerprint unlock without pins etc

Hey,
is it possible to unlock the phone with fingerprints without having to lock the phone with pins or something?
The only reason for me using the fingerprint unlock is that it's the quickest and easiest way of unlocking the phone.
I don't need/ want the extra "security".
I think no, but why would you wan't to disable PIN since you don't need to use it?

So, what happens that time you just can't get the fingerprint to unlock?
The PIN/Pattern is there for that eventuality.
If need be it's there for someone else to unlock if there is an emergency and you can't use your fingerprint.

To clarify things: I want no unnecessary "security".
Just fingerprint unlock and swiping to unlock.
When I tap on notifications, I want them to open up immediately instead of asking for pin or anything.

If I'd disable the pin, it would also disable the fingerprint unlock. But I just want fingerprint and swipe to unlock.
I don't want the pins or anything else to block the unlocking when I double tap on a notification.
Wait, if you have swipe to unlock (to access your notifications), why would you need fingerprint access? You (or anyone else) could just double tap your notifications to see them and then have full access to your system.
Outside of the first unlock after a reboot, you can just use your fingerprint to unlock when you see the PIN screen (such as when double tapping a notification).
Either way though, the answer is "No." You cannot have fingerprint authentication without a PIN/Pattern lock on any Android (or iOS device for that matter). The systems won't allow it.

If you have both fingerprint unlock and pin enabled you only need to enter your pin the first time after boot. After entering it that one time you will be able to unlock your screen with fingerprint only until you reboot the phone again. Entering the pin once isn't that much of an inconvenience.
I think its really required to have a backup security when using a fingerprint to unlock the phone. Though you just have to unlock it once with pin and then fingerprint all the way!

I am amazed by the fact that no one else than you actually understood what I want and what the problem is.
Even after clarifying...
I guess I'll ask for it in the xposed module requests section.

The problem is still that I want swipe + fingerprint.
I don't use the fingerprint as security. I use it to unlock it quicker.
I use the pattern. And I don't want others to be locked out of my phone. And I don't want to say what my pattern is all the time.
And I want to be able to open a notification just by a double tap.
It's inconcovient to use double tap AND fingerprint to open a simple notification.
Xposed isn't going to help at all in this case. Sorry, but the API (Application Program Interface) that deals with fingerprints is very strict in what it can/can't do and that's by design. This cannot be modified.
Your best option is to use something like Smart Lock, where you can have the phone automatically unlock when connected to a trusted Wi-Fi, Bluetooth device, or even carrying the phone.

Haha thanks, but they also have their points. You really need a backup security method if you're using biometric unlocking. For example, you're using a fingerprint, iris scanner, or face recognition, it is really required to have a backup "secured" "in-screen" unlocking method for your phone. It means that, when your biometric scanners broke for some reason, you have other way to unlock it.
Its a no brainer for the developers to allow fingerprint for unlocking then if it fails, you just have to swipe the phone to unlock. Unless its really for speed of, I guess, half a second of your life. It's really an essential feature, because in a case when your phone gets stolen, the thief can just break the scanner or just try it a lot until it requires you to just "unsecured" swipe it up. So I'll advice you to just use half a second of your life to unlock a pattern (the easiest and fastest other way). You just have to swipe at least 4 dots and then your phone is now secured the easiest and fastest way.
I think what he meant was that he wants to unlock his phone with the home button as an unlock button, and without any fingerprint security. Am I right?
Let me correct myself. Literally no one understood what I mean.
Just close this thread if possible. I'm not writing anymore.
We did understand what you are wanting to do; we've just said that it is not possible.

This is exactly what OP wants, convenience without security.
But since it can't be done, the next best thing is remove security and double tap to wake up.
you will need two commits

Make FaceUnlock (SmartLock) default unlock method?

I recently bought an essential phone and set up a passcode, fingerprint, and face unlock. I prefer to unlock my phone with faceunlock (I have it set up with Autoinput making it the fastest method out of the three to unlock my phone) however my phone usually defaults to fingerprint unlock and rarely Face unlock, and I can't do both at once. Is there any way to make FaceUnlock my default?
Mine behaves this way too. Are you on pie?

Any way to keep fingerprints without Lockscreen?

I'd like to keep fingerprints to use with App Lock and such but without using the lockscreen. Any way to keep them?
I also want this, so it works like a password for apps
but I don't like to unlock my phone at all, just swipe on the lockscreen
I searched a lot, found another thread someone wanted this too
but nobody understood him, they thought he wants only Fingerprint without pin?
but why is it not possible to use Fingerprint (and backup pin or password) ONLY for applock, and not on the lockscreen

In addition to the FP, use on body detection and face unlock.
That should reduce if not eliminate the need to unlock the phone manually.

But then I can't swipe on the lockscreen, there's no lock at all, so if I was previously in whatsapp I would be instantly online, instead of just reading messages on the lockscreen

Try using the app No Lock :

I don't use the FPR,or,any lockscreen for that matter,so,IDK if this will work.
I used it on other phones where you had to use at minimum a swipe to open & it bypassed that requirement,perhaps it'll do the same in this situation.

It was only a suggestion.
I don't mind a lock screen on my phone.
I want my phone to lock.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it, but still have to swipe to get in. I'm not sure of other OS' but TouchWiz allowed for it. I'll write OnePlus Dev's to hopefully include it on an update. Also, native rear flash notification since we don't have a led for it.
