Helou,
So, as we all know, new S6 has a very good fingerprint sensor (no more swipe to unlock with fingerprint.)
Now I would like to know what else can I do with that. I know I can pay with fingerprint online, and log in.
But i have one idea. What if there is somehow a way to make this happens:
When I unlock my phone with my fingerprint, he "knows" that I am using him, and he lets me everything to use, but if I unlock him with regular swipe over the screen without code or anythin, he would lock some apps, so you can't use them without password. For example, if it was unlocked by swiping over the screes, he would lock Whatsapp, Facebook, Gallery, so that one who is using my phone, can't access to those things.
Is there anything like that maybe, or posieble to make ?
Wow that's a really good idea i'd like to see it

I think that there is a lot of guys od xda, who can make this possible
Great idea! Can call it...idenity!
Good idea but unfortunately samsung made only fingerprint, for example on iphone you can use passcode and fingerprint together.
I don't know if it's poasible with s6 but I'd love to be able to tap on the home button to perform a different action than click like in ios. For example with a double tap the app gets automatically in window mode to the bottom to be easy to use with one hand

So I want to use the pattern lock on my Atrix but I hate that I have to slide to unlock, then pattern lock. It should only be one, not both! I've searched but can't find anything. Even tried to use tasker, but couldn't get it to work.
I don't see why you really NEED to bypass the "slide to unlock" thing. I mean it takes an additional what.... half a second? If you want to bypass stuff... why not just use the fingerprint? works even quicker because there's absolutely no wasted sliding required.
I know it only takes an extra half a second. But I look at my phone often and would prefer it not to be that way. I used the fingerprint scanner when I first got it but it wasn't smooth.
So yes I am aware of arguments against, but this is MY PREFERENCE, so if you can help id like to hear.
agree, if you have password, this should be the only unlock

Are you using a home screen replacement like DxTop? If so they often have their own custom lockscreens - check the preferences in your homescreen replacement and the stock android lockscreens - they often don't play nicely together (they do what you're describing, multiple lockscreens)
install nolock. but that will also disable every type of security. since it allows to turn on display with volume buttons, i don't care
you should find it in the settings of the app you're using for the lockscreen
No im not using anything special besides ADW which doesnt have a lockscreen. It just makes me slide to unlock to the pattern lock which I think is stupid.

Have you tried since. 57 ? I turned it off but the update fixed the smoothness. Now the only time it doesn't work for me are if my hands are really dirty from work and I shouldn't be touching my phone anyway

No I didn't update through the SBF, I just tried to check updates on the phone itself and it says I need social networking to update... cuz you know that makes sense.
Dear all,
anybody know if it's possible to use quick glance for activate the S4. Not only for see the event window (lose call, sms, battery percent...) I need to really unblock the phone.
Will be a good idea for save the button life.
Thanks in advance,
Luis
I agree.. this feature will save the button life. However, i do not think it is possible at this time without a mod..I hope someone is planning on tinkering with the requisite apk... i would really love to use quick glance to wake the phone

it s like always listening project that samsung and intel are working on it
always on sensor for gesture is like that
so i think it need special hardware and also app that works good with enough performance
:good:
If you're really looking for a way to save the power button's life you could try something else.
I'm using the S View cover to lock /unlock my phone. The small cropped screen on the cover is useful and it looks pretty cool. If you have roughly €40 to spend, it's worth trying out.

Hi,
As we all might know, the s5 fingerprint scanner doesn't always get it right. There is a option on the screen to input a password, but i would prefer to have a pattern instead of a password.
So my question is: is there a way (like a mod), to make the pattern unlock available with the fingerprint scanner and have it visible(meaning, without having to press the option to input pattern)? So basicly we would have to authentication methods and choose the one that is more covinent, but basicly its when the scanner fails 2 or 3 times i would just like to use the pattern right away to unlock
I haven't seen anyone metion, or even making a request for a mod like this, but maybe there is one out there that i don't know about or a way to do it, or maybe more people will show interest in it.
I would look into it or try if i knew anything about code/programming =/
Thank you in advance!
bump to the extreme
That'd be a good mod. 2 options on screen. Sometimes it's a pain juggling the handset to get the print.

Thats what i was thinking. I have had a few problems getting the print to work sometimes and then have to wait 30sec :/ it can work fine(better than i expectes actually) but if not in proper angule or speed it can fail.
I havent seen anyone mention something like this before, but im glad to see that there is interest
I seem to be going insane at the moment after just plumping for a Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge + moving from an Iphone 5.
Yes the screen, the speed, is all incredible and yes everything seems to take longer at the moment because Im coming from a lot of years of using the Iphone system.
But there is one simple thing that I just cannot seem to resolve at the moment despite trying several apps, several settings etc, and its just so simple I cant believe there is not just one setting somewhere for it.
All I want on my lockscreen when I press the power switch is to see the following.
What message I have
What emails I have
What Whats Apps I have.
I want to see who they are all from, ie the senders name, or the contact name thats in my address book ... but nothing else, no preview, no nothing, just
I have a Whats app from Ben
a Whats app from James
an email from Ebuyer
a text message from Suzie.
Thats it!
Why cant I have this? By all means call me an idiot and tell me the screen its on and I will laugh at myself along with everyone else, but I just cant see where this is at the moment. All I can get is either previews of all the messages etc, or just plain I have 2 emails, 1 message and a whats app, but not who they are from.
Can someone PLEASE help with this? Its driving me mad !! I have a fingerprint on the device by the way and I dont want to be able to reply to anything without unlocking the device.
Any and all help very much appreciated, as not being able to accomplish this just makes my android experience dead in the water at the moment.
Do you mean like that? If so; » Settings » Lock screen and security » Notifications » Notifications on lock screen; 'Show content'
No all I want to see are senders details,no content at all. I want to see that a text or what's app or email is from Jeff, but not the first line of Jeff text etc as it might be private. I don't get why there isn't a simple setting for this like on iPhone, its absolutely crazy.

Is this possible?I'm surprised this isn't a problem for others who have moved across from ios.

The features which have provided by android, are looking normal to me(android user for looong years) Maybe you should try second party lockscreen apps(i.e: Hi Locker, Go Locker, etc). Good luck man.
No, I'm not talking about Smart Lock, that doesn't have the option to stay unlocked while connected to a home WiFi that you know is secure. There's a location based one but apparently it isn't always working for me as sometimes I still need to use irises or PIN to unlock my phone at home. Very annoying.
Is there a good Galaxy S8 + compatible app for keeping my phone unlocked when connected to my home WiFi? Thanks!

Tasker.
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
I'm using an app called delayed lock, and it works great
Tasker just seems complicated. But I know how specific it can get in its functions so I'll take a look into it.
I'll also take a look into delayed lock as well, thanks!
Any other suggestions?
Thx dude
Delayed Lock is not compatible with my AT&T Samsung galaxy s8+
Anyone else have any suggestions?
Bump
Try
App-Lock Fingerprint
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sp.protector.free
Once installed a d setup look at Settings -> Lock Convience
Hey thanks for the reply, do I have to have the whole phone locked by App-lock so that it'll automatically unlock? I currently use my irises to unlock my phone.
Smart lock seems to work perfectly with a Bluetooth device. My Gear 2 watch is on me all the time, so I never see my lock screen unless I reboot the phone.
Use the integrated Smart Lock from google, you will find it under settings, lock screen and security.

Tasker does have a learning curve, however there are plenty of scripts & profiles online to paste in and/or modify. Once it's set up, you can forget about it. I use one to match a google calendar and mute according to a class schedule.

You obviously didn't read my post but thanks anyway. If you look, it only has a location feature, it doesn't specifically have a feature to keep unlocked while connected to a trusted WiFi connection. I'm looking for that feature because the location one doesn't always work. Location is on, settings for it on high, and I'm still having to put in my passcode/use the iris scanner. Not sure why it's not working as intended. I'll post screenshots if I have to though.

I'll probably have to try it out, not sure if I want to shell out the 2.99 for it. Maybe I'll wait till my Google Opinion Rewards gets it for me
I used Hi Locker on my LG G4 for this. I havent tried it yet on the S8, give it a try.
