I find unlock sensor kinda useless sometimes I don't. want to unlo k with sensor and I have to write the password, is there any way I can use sensor with unlock pattern? I like sensor but sometimes its better to use pattern.

Sometimes the fingerprint reader doesn't active when coming out of sleep on my phone. I have it set up to use a pattern. After you setup the reader go in to your security settings and just set a pattern. The next time your phone locks it will unlock with the sensor or the pattern.
I can see how it is a pain for some, for me it really helps I have so many things I used to keep in a secure folder now i can swipe my finger instead of key punching a strong password.

I had my fingerprint and 4 digit psswd setup, so I had to enable the pattern, then re-enable the finger print. Now it shows finger print at first, but if I slide to unlock, it shows the pattern. Hope that helps.

Yup, to get the pattern, you just have to enable pattern and then re-enable fingerprint sensor (enabling pattern will disable fingerprint). You'll end up with fingerprint or slide to unlock with pattern.
yee. i have fingerprint with gesture lock
pretty awesome.
Hi,
my phone often unlocks the EPD while I have it in my pocket because of the swipe up feature to unlock.
Does anyone of you know if it is possible to unlock the EPD only with the button ?
Thanks in advance
I think a pattern has to be set or pin etc to remove this feature
.
The swipe feature is still active if a pattern is set I don't know why but it's definitely a bug.
Fix for deactivating swipe from bottom of the screen after setting a security lock is to reboot.

Hello
Is it possible on the Nexus 6p to use the finger print scanner to unlock apps with the finger print scanner on the phone without using it to lock the phone and having to setup the PIN lock?
If you mean that you'd like to have an app that locks certain apps and unlock it with the fingerprint scanner, you should try FingerSecurity. You can set which apps are locked by the app and you can then use the fingerprint scanner to unlock them.

You can join the Beta to get Nexus 6P support. Works great.
and without any app?
just using the F.P to wake the screen up or lock it?

I don't understand what are you saying.
With Nexus 6P you just have to touch the fingerprint sensor without touching any button and the screen will wake.
Android doesn't have a functionality to put a fingerprint lock to open a certain app. For that you will have to use the link above.
i wish, but

in order to activate FP, it demands another locking feature.
i'd upload a screenshot, but it's not in english

Yes and that is how it works with every device ever.
No device will allow you to have only fingerprint security (if you mean that you want to make it impossible to unlock your phone without your f.p) because modern (6.0+) Android phones would be thrown into the garbage if your f.p. sensor stops working properly. (the system encryption will be fu*ked cause it requires a pin)

It says: fp with linw/password/code.
No option for "just" fp.
Android 7.1.1
Just like what was said above, there is no option for just fingerprint. You need to have a backup way of unlocking your device. So if you get your fingers chopped off, fingerprint sensor fails, etc. you could still unlock your phone with a pin/password/pattern.

so what mihovil13 said:

is not correct?
just the FP isn't enough
oh! finally i got it.
forget the last question. everything's great

You can unlock your ph, but there is no option of locking it via fp without any third-party app

It's available in Nougat
available in nougat.. if u can't wait use fingerprint quick a action in XDA
Gravitybox
You can use gravitybox to lock your phone using fingerprint. It is available in Nougat, but if you're on MM, and can't wait, install xposed framework, install gravitybox module, and under fingerprint settings, you can set an action for each finger you've configured. One of them can be set to lock the screen.
On 7.1 im using the fp sensor as home button and set up double tap to turn off screen. Maybe it's available on some cm13 builds too?

Provided you're on the stock Nougat ROM, and you've got your fingerprints set up, head to Settings>Security. Under 'Device Security', tap the gear icon next to Screen Lock. There on the Screen Lock Settings, you'll have an option to long press the fingerprint sensor to lock your screen.
(This is present on Nougat v7.0 NPJS25.93-14.4, I think it's present on earlier Nougat builds).
Custom ROMs likely have their own method of locking with the fingerprint sensor or with the soft home button.
This will help

Hi Devs,
Is the there a way the phone will unlock automatically using face detection. I have set the face unlock but I have slide after the face unlock removes the lock to go to home screen. Is there a way the face unlock can work like one plus.

no any custom are available
Try Grabvitybox. It works like OP5's face lock but not like that of OP5T.
use gravity box.

Use this xposed module.

You don't need any Xposed or Magisk Module. Flash a ROM that supports it by default. AOSPExtended, for an example.
If not rooted use autoinput and trusted face
