I'm not sure if anyone noticed this but I stumbled across this at the end of last weekend. It's quite simple to bypass any lock screen on the XPeria Z, I emailed Sony but no response so it's probably something we should be aware of.

Another way to get Sony's attention would be if everyone hit that "Tip us?" button on the top right. If the issue got even more attention the chances would become bigger that Sony fixes this issue faster.
Thanks for posting the direct link :good:

Have you tried that? I'm running .434 firmware and I can't simulate that. When I click on the NFC, I'm back to the PIN screen.
Maybe we can install some security app to stop the easily bypass.
Ooooh snap! Works on my phone.
My phone is rooted. So maybe it works only on rooted phones? I'm using the latest firmware (434)
Edit:
Ok gave it several tries.
When you use the exploit, the phone won't lock again till you restart or change the lock screen.
Can anybody else confirm this?

If you have the pattern, password or face lock, this will work. But it doesn't work if you use pin lock.
When you use the exploit, the phone won't lock again till you restart or change the lock screen.
So for the time being, use the pin lock.

It works for me with PIN. One important thing I've noticed when showing this to people is once you've done it once I seems to screw up the locking. Once you've done it the lock button then doesn't show the security screen and if you press home it will. Also once you've done it once you have to force close all of the test windows and actually unlock your phone by press home then unlocking, It's quite wierd what happens after
Another thing is when I first found this it was on one of the other service tests, I think maybe wifi but the NFC was the easiest one I found so it may be possible to activate it in other ways.
As said in a reply once you have done the exploit you must do the following to get it back to non-exploit state
Press the home button
Unlock your phone normally
Preset the task management button
clear all of the service test windows
You're right, works with PIN also.
Hope Sony update the firmware soon.
Non rooted unit here. Updated to 434 and can replicate the problem
Hope get fixed in updates soon...
Interestingly I can't reproduce this exploit! Well, it's good, but wondering why!!
Works here like a charm, unlocked rooted and on stock release ROM.
I laughed great find!
Also note: you can use any of the mini apps without using the nfc diag.
PS: Does this work on any Sony phone that contains the sevice menu?
Kind regards, Stefan.
Does this happen to the Xperia Z with .434 stock ROM? I have tried on the pin lock but it will not unlock even though I key in any numbers or the OK button.
People if the exploit is working for you, hit the "Tip us" button to get Sony's attention faster.
This issue is also present in 2012 Xperia smartphones. Tried it on XP and XS and was able to bypass lockscreen.

I can indeed confirm this.
After using it for 3 or 4 times phone refuses to lock + home button no longer works.
Instead of that it brings you to homescreen, it flashes the screen once and nothing happens.
Also still love how you can use mini apps from anywhere in this menu.
A lot of fixing is to be done here.
First root exploit via this menu and now this.
Kind regards, Stefan.
I can confirm this too.

FYI for WidgetLocker lovers..........the latest update has fixed the issues where the fingerprint scanner did not work on the WidgetLocker screen. The fingerprint scanner now unlocks and takes you right to your home screen. If you use the slider bar in WidgetLocker, it no longer takes you to the normal lock screen, but brings up the code unlock screen instead as the regular lock screen does. I have checked this multiple times on my phone on 4.1.83, GladiAtrix, and Cool Blue.
WidgetLocker Market Link
You do have to swipe the scanner a wee bit slower it appears, almost like Atrix was prior to 4.1.57 update, but other than that it works fine.
+1 Yea noticed that been using it again with no problems as well ^_^

i just tried widgetlocker for the first time yesterday. It was nice and definitely modifiable (word?) but it slowed down my phone ever so slightly.

When did you update? There was an update yesterday or the day before which did not address this particular issue. The update today wasn't there earlier because I check several times a day for Market updates out of boredom. It appeared this evening in the Market for me. Working great for me now.
Also, how fast are you swiping on the reader? You can't swipe as fast as when not using WidgetLocker.

When you say slowed down your phone..............in what way? I know it slows down unlocking slightly, but I notice no other slow downs once the phone is unlocked.

I updated this morning. I just checked the market again just now & no additional update was available; I'll check back again later. Re: swipe speed, I'd say I didn't change my speed at all. Again, that seemed to not be a problem for ~1/2 a day.
The only known issue right now is that Exchange can break things. I'm working on a method for rooted Exchange fingerprint scanning users to bypass this (the trick actually allows for some other things too so it's not as niche of a group as it sounds), but it requires manual XML changes right now and could mess up your system. When it's wrapped into an apk and ready for user testing I'll post somewhere in the Atrix section to let you guys know.
If you're not using Exchange (or a similar device admin that "Requires password") and having issues with it not working in cases that the Motorola lock screen would, then Settings > Report Bug and provide as much details as you can about when it's not working.
mine doesn't work at all anymore now. before, it would work about 50% of the time, now no response at all. i tried rebooting, clearing my lock screen settings and re-enabling fingerprinting, etc. no dice.

Same here. Mine was working, now it's completely unresponsive. Back to the stock lock screen.

ok i think i've narrowed it down.
if you set a FP profile, and use a PIN, then it will work. BUT if you are using the pattern unlock and the FP (which you can set by setting as pattern first, then FP with existing profile), it will not work.

I use FP with pin, so maybe you have hit on something there, as I have no issues with it.
yup, confirmed it's true with the dev, and also that it's Motorola's fault.
"I did notice this in testing, however Motorola does not support the Fingerprint scanner with Pattern so I decided not to either. What you found is unintentional and may have issues on it's own (I haven't tried with the latest firmware, but I had played with that setup on the original firmware and found it unreliable. Setting a delay with the Fingerprint scanner (via sqlite) also caused weirdness).
With regard to WidgetLocker, there's some code in there to handle Motorola's pattern and some other code to handle Motorola's fingerprint scanner. I did try to get both to work, but in limited testing was unable to do so and since it's not officially supported by Motorola I decided not to pursue further. (I actually also thought they fixed the loophole you found in the later firmware so the only way of doing it was sqlite, but apparently I was wrong)"
I am not sure if there is a thread already out for this as i couldn't find one on search.
I am a SGS II user in India and i just got a KIES notice that a firmware upgrade is available to KF3.
Is this the same one as what was release on samfirware?

i jus tried updating my SGS II to KF3 via KIES it downloaded the update and after decryption of binary data the mobile display is staying on the green android logo and below it downloading ...
WHt do i do .. pls help
The update process gets stuck if KIES is not able to connect to your phone properly. Usually this ends with a popup message saying Update mode couldn't be activated or something like that.
If you do find a blue progress bar increasing slowly below the green android then all is fine, just wait. But if The process is stuck at 0% or an error comes up. Then you can try again by doing a hard reset of your phone and trying to run the update process again. Do not use the recover firmware option in Kies at this moment. The hard reset is necessary as third party launchers and other apps sometimes interfere in the connection to Kies.
To, get out of the green Android download screen and do whatever is stated above, simply remove the battery briefly and start your phone again.
Hope this was helpful. The information i provided is just based on my experience, correct me if i am wrong...

Thanks for your feedback. But what do you mean by No.3, Lock Screen wake up lag seems to have come in? It was there in KE8 also.

Yuppp, I know many people faced the lock screen lag issue even in KE8/KE7 but mysteriously, I never had the issue! Where as in KF3, I now get a delay even though its just a couple of seconds.
As for the noise cancellation option during the call, both, the call screen icon as well as the menu option are still absent. :-(
So I just recently updated to Nut 's .136 firmware. Sadly the touch screen issue is still there. I have found a temporary solution though. For me, the problem is surely software based. When the touch screen gets buggy, a reboot will always fix it.
I have an app call Fast Reboot Pro installed, which restarts your system without actually restart your phone. I set the app to automatically do a "reboot" every time I unlock the screen. Whenever my screen starts acting buggy, I would just turn off the screen and unlock it.
This seems to fix the problem momentarily. I still hope someone can find a way to fix this for real though.

It's better to reboot locking the screen than unlocking (so you don't wait the reloading micro-time after you unlock)

I update to stock .136 and I can't reproduce it anymore. The issue was there on .290 today, I updated and I don't know what to do to get it back, I miss my favorite problem.
BTW, I receive yesterday the phone and in Sony Center they couldn't find the problem and they scratched my phone everywhere, I tested typing *#*#7378423#*#* and it was there again, the worst service I ever had.

I already play N.O.V.A and some games and still not have the problem after update to .136. I also can put my phone on the bed and use it with one finger. I hope it will stay in this way forever.

hi guys..
Got my new phone at the launching day.. everything runs perfect..
But yesterday and today i encounter a small issue..
please note that i have fingerprint scanner lock on my phone..
when i pressed the home button just to wake the screen, the screen didn't respond.. only the side buttons lid..
the screen remained black after the second press too.. then i pressed the power button once and the screen woke..
the thing was that when i pressed the power button after this incident the home screen game me a third option, apart from emergency calls (left) and alternative password (right), Unlock via Google placed to the middle..
this happened also today twice..
Any suggestions on this ?? did anyone encounter this ??
please note that i didn't use any other locking method except fingerprint scanner and the home button responds fine in any other case.. Thanx..
I randomly get unresponsive touches when trying to open an app in the app drawer folders. Haven't had the home button issue though

im having similar issues while on a call, i cant type in the extension, i touch the number pad and it does nothing. I turn off screen and now it doesnt want to turn back on. Like anything new, there will be a few hiccups, but samsung are usually fast for that first firmware push. I remember for the S4, i got it on launch day and the same day a new firmware was available, the note 3 took about 10 days before that initial firmware that fixed the few most obvious issues. Dont bring it back, just be patient.

I used my phone all day using the settings above.. (no s-voice at home button and fingerprint lock) I encounter the problem 3-4 times.. other than that all is ok..
Now im going to use all day the pin to lock the screen and see what happens..
thanx
UPDATE
still the same issue with pin lock screen.. So probably an update will solve this..
thanx

Hey man,
Had the same issue with my S5, I think the wait for the fix is easier to handle if you know there are other guys having the same issue rather than having something wrong with your specific device. So imho it'd be great if some other guys would reply just to know it's a common issue.
To me SGS5 is a great phone even with all the rants and reviews against buying it, there will be updates, we just need to be patient.
Thanks for the post!

I can confirm that i have similar issues too.
Sometimes (2-3 a day) the screen is not waking up from sleep state when i press the home or the power button.
The solution is that i need to press the power button to sleep the device and then press again or press the home button to wake up.
Not a big deal but i hope that this issue is not hardware related and a firmware fix will solve it.
Apart from this, it's really a great smartphone.
Hi,
Just a small update, the issue replicates also when using the Samsung S View case, just bought one and I still get the same behaviour as with the home and power button (i.e. only the softkeys light up, the screen doesn't wake up).
I haven't been able to consistently replicate though, but it seems to happen after long sleep periods.
All the best!

Hi !
One question.
Which ROM version do you have ?
The ...ANCE, or ANCF ?
thank you all for your replies.. its good to know that its not my device..
Hopefully with the new update they will fix it..
by the way yesterday i missed a call, do to that problem.. the phone was ringing but the screen was sleeping..
So i decided to chance my ROM, from EUR-Greece to NEE-Norther Countries.. Also did a hard factory reset after that.. Volume up + Power + Home.. Also deleted the cache partition..
I used odin.. No problems found.. and Kies recognizes the phone..
So i will check how this goes and get back to you..

I have the XEH G900FXXU1ANCE...
I was just thinking that the G900FXXU1ANCF is maybe a little bit newer, as the build number is higher (1186806) So that's a different rom for sure.
When i'm outside of S-voice app i have to say hi galaxy to wake up the phone and open the app and then say it again to activate the voice recognition which makes me look like i'm working with imperfect device as I have to repeat myself. AFAIR it didn't use to happen when I first got it. Anyone can relate? Any way to solve it? Thanks everyone in advance.
You're right, it wasn't an issue before. I guess the last update broke something. Same problem here.
Sent from my SM-N910F

that s because of security
if you can wake up phone by voice and immediately it can perform command it can be vulnerability
:good:

The thing is I use an app that unlocks the phone when connected to my home WiFi so when the phone is not secured beside of lockscreen, vulnerability shoudln't be a factor. I've also found out that OK google wakes up the phone, hears my request but nothing pops up, i can just hear the sound and it doesn't act on the command given. Strange things are happening .
