Can you designate certain apps to bypass fingerprint security while in use? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

All,
Does anyone know if there's a way to make it when using the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge so that when I'm using a certain DESIGNATED app that the phone would let me BYPASS fingerprint security as long as I'm using that designated app?
For example, let's say I start listening to music on my S7 Edge using the Poweramp music app. While the app is playing my music, let's say the screen turns off (or I turn it off). When I push the Power button in order to wake the screen back up, if I'd selected Poweramp to be a designated app, the phone would skip the fingerprint security measure altogether and just unlock itself.
IS there a setting that can make this happen? If not, is there an APP that can do this?? Please let me know. It would just be nice like when I'm driving if I didn't have to deal with the extra security measure.
Thank You,

Maybe you could just use the inbuilt feature smart lock? Don't think you can use it for specific apps though it.

mklass,
What do you mean? How do I get to that?
Well if any developers reading this think they can create an app that would accomplish this, please feel free to do so. I would DEFINITELY pay for such an app if one was ever made.
Thanks!

Well I'm using a nexus 5 at the moment and there's a feature called smartlock in settings.
It allows you to bypass security based on certain things like location, if your phones in your pocket, if you connect to a Bluetooth device or a WiFi connection.
I have pattern lock on my phone but as soon as I get home and connect to my WiFi it bypasses my secuiry and I don't have to enter my patten lock, same when I get in my car and connect to my Bluetooth car system.

I think what you're asking for is a custom lockscreen app that will allow you to black list certain apps so that if the app was the last app used before the screen turned off, the lockscreen app would either auto unlock or ask for the security pin check.
It's possible you maybe able to do such a think using Tasker once you can root the s7e.
Tasker can enable and disable the lockscreen depending on what app is in the foreground and so if your music app is active, then Tasker will disable the lockscreen, which when your screen turns off, there will be no lockscreen when you turn it on next, and if you activate an app not on your tasker conditions list, then Tasker will re-enable the lockscreen again (accessibility & root required for sure).
but of course you will need to know that your phone security won't be as good.

Oh ok. I know exactly what you mean now, and yes, the S7 Edge DOES have that feature. I don't have bluetooth in my car so I'm not sure how I do it.
There is a Smartlock option called On-body detection that keeps it unlocked as long as it feels it's being held or is kept upright, but when it is laid down it locks up. Problem is, when I lay it down and let the screen turn off, it still doesn't lock the phone. Ughh!

Sorry that didn't do what you needed buddy

sonhy,
Thanks for that info. That sounds like what I'm looking for, but if it requires a root, I'll have to pass. lol I rooted my HTC One M8 a couple years ago, and it was kinda cool at first, but it's not worth the headache. I really wish someone would make an app that would do what Tasker does but NOT require rooting. Oh well.

Neutron can bypass the lockscreen
Edit: picture added. And it only lets you access neutron, you'll have to input you fingerprint to access any other app. I much prefer neutron to Poweramp for quality and depth of customization too.

yeah root does have its negatives, but the option is yours to just change only what you need, applying root doesn't change anything on your phone instantly, it just unlocks the doors, its up to you if you want to open any of them

Yeah? Ok. Someone in another forum last week (Head-Fi) said to try Neutron too. I read it wasn't as user friendly as Poweramp, but sounded better supposedly. I really love Poweramp, but I guess now I have 2 reasons to give Neutron a try.

is it the actual main Neutron music app screen interface? or is it a lockscreen widget of the app? I'd say disabling the lockscreen would be pretty impossible for a non superuser app. if in fact it is possible, then hopefully tasker could be coded to do the same

It's not as user friendly because it's for professionals. You can literally get lost in the settings. The developers are amazing, its updated often. If rich features and customization are important to you then it's the best music player for you. And afaik it's the only app that can load it's UI before the lockscreen, music player or otherwise.
Edit: and yes it sounds better and is infinitely more tunable than Poweramp. It's the only media player with 64bit decoding. Really, if you're serious about music then get it and spend some time learning about the settings. The possibilities are endless.

sonhy,
I just tried Neutron and it WORKS!!! I applied the "Lock Screen" setting (I don't want Wake Lock b/c it will keep screen on forever, and Power Lock keeps it on if it's plugged in, which I don't want either).
Only thing is, is it known to be buggy? I heard the UI wasn't as good as Poweramp's but that it sounds better, but twice in the last 10 minutes the app froze on me. Not 100% I will keep it but maybe.
Thanks so much again!!

No I got the full paid version a while ago but never really used it. I'll give it more time, but it does what I wanted it to........... it comes up IN FRONT OF the fingerprint scan request on the lock screen. It's not bypassing it, but getting in front of it is basically the same thing. Very cool!
The UI actually isn't that bad once you give it a chance. I need to spend more time with it though, and I would like to compare it with Poweramp for my own knowledge. I've always been interested in music (I play guitar as well). But I have in the last 15-16 mos gotten really into Hi-Fi listening......... including Hi-Res music, using a premium amp/DAC (the Oppo HA-2), and premium headphones as well (the AKG K553). I HIGHLY recommend both! I'd tried the HA-2 against other devices that cost twice as much, and it sounded just as good as them. The K553 I'd pitted against like $400 headphones, and it sounded BETTER than all of them!
With the HA-2 in the mix, I'm not AS concerned about the sound quality of the app on headphones, although the sound is better when I use the better apps vs. like the stock player. But in my car, I'm not using the HA-2, so the greater the sound quality the better!
2 questions for now..........
1) Does 64-bit processing REALLY make a difference? I will test it myself but still good to hear other's opinions.
2) Is there an option like what Poweramp has where Neutron will stop playing when a phone call comes in, and then resume once the call ends? If so, where exactly is it?
Thanks!

1) with your setup it should be noticeable. I use ath-m50x's with a fiio k1 when I'm at home and klipsch x11's when I'm out and I can hear differences in both.
2) that's the default behavior AFAIK, idk if it's tied to a setting.

Ok great!
Sounds like a pretty good setup!
Ok I'll test it out tonight perhaps and see if I notice a difference. First I want to compare Neutron to Poweramp. I'll keep 64-bit on for that because I wanna hear how they both sound when at their BEST settings. (EQ will be off on both.)
Ok awesome! Does it also stop when the GPS speaks in the car? I kinda prefer it NOT to stop (Poweramp lets you decide this), but if it does, that's fine.
Thanks!

Anyone who has installed the froyo beta, could you give us details of what's included

For example, what music player is included? Vanilla or touch wiz? What are the 5 radio buttons they used in the notification pull down? Can you still adjust the brightness by sliding your fiber across the notification bar at the top, do we have a video player app, etc.
Add what you feel is important. Thanks

All, Playlists, Albums, Artists
If you don't mind, start a track playing in the music player and then back out to the homescreen. Then pull down the notification bar. Are their music controls in there? Lock the screen. Unlock it and check up top, is there a half a disc up top that you can pull down to reveal music controls?
Yes. Its there, just like EE rom. This is TW 3.0.

Do we have that new beach live wallpaper?
What about wireless tethering? Is the Froyo version there and does it work if it is? Or did Sprint take it out?
Craw, let's be a little realistic here. Why would Sprint include the FREE tethering when they have a product they're selling for $30/month?
NO US Carrier, and I can't think of ANY carrier at all, will include the tethering for free. I'm pretty sure Google just added it as a feature so it was easier for the carriers to implement their own (paid) solution.

[Q] Volume control on Xbox Music app

a simple question for u guys, how can i control the volume on the xbox music app, also in the video one.
i use the metro app skype.. and if i reduce the volume of metro from settings.. also the skype got volume reduce...
the app has no volume control? or maybe i cant find it..
tnx in advance

I don't think it has volume controls on a per app basis, it never did in the previews. On desktop you have the usual mixer but that doesn't control apps, unless ive missed something

for the moment we miss the mixer.. Its really odd that one little and essencial thing like volume control is. now I'm focused to dev a app to do that.
i already try everything like using the normal skype. But the music goes down when it pass to secondary task.
i already contact microsoft support but no answer for the moment.

I'm with you. Maybe I'm missing something but I can't the volume. I searched the web, no one else mentions this. Maybe I should just stick to spotify. I applaud MS for their bravery in trying something different and cool, but so far Windows 8 seems a little cluttered and not easy to use. Maybe I'll get used to it. Looks cool though.

i have a touch monitor.. so im preety happy about w8.. the volume maybe was a problem to a bad code i guess.. that sht is important to be missing.
I've same problem. The only solution i found is to keep xbox music to the front, on 1/3 for example.
EDIT : putting xbox music app on a split screen (juste a few moment) solve the problem for me.

Enable built in music channel(ROOT)

if you have root you can enable the music channel by editing the default.xml. Using a file explorer navigate through system/customize/aac to default xml and incase your rom doesn't use default.xml, edit the one with your cid, scroll right to the bottom of the default .xml, in that area you will see a line, support_music_channel">false ...change it to true, save, reboot. In settings there should be an option for music channel, now, I donot know if it works without harmon kardon so some feedback would be good from someone using stock adsp.img with boomsound, I cant see why it wont work. Give a try and post your results. Play a song in any music app (supposedly), if music channel is enabled there will be a notification pop up, open the notification draw and tap music channel, you will have access to visualizations and gracenote and an update function for music lryics, I actually think its awesome and don't know why its been disabled.
Thanks for the tip! Just got this working on mt ATT One M8 running nV Rom. It took me a while to get the default.xml to actually save my edits, but what I ended up doing was rebooting to TWRP recovery, mounting /system and using the console to pull up vi and edit the file. Was a bit of a pain, but it looks awesome!
Works great thanks! It was very easy to do. I just edited the file with x-plore and then I changed the permissions back, rebooted and it worked. Btw it worked with BoomSound!
Cool ...nice to hear it works for boomsound aswell, why HTC disabled it is beyond me, the option itself works fine, its gracenotes database that seems to be a bit dodgy, they don't have enough information for lryics, seems its just the most popular albums/tracks, most of the stuff I listen to cant get the lryics, like metric and feedme, think its mainly charts.
Tty and hearing aid enhancement also works ....just enable in default.XML, there's loads of features turned off, these 2 modes are very much needed, well. I can say for sure hearing aid enhancement would be much needed by ppl.

Play some music, if its working properly an icon will pop up in notification draw, open the draw click on music channel and see. It suppsed to detect any music player but I expect theres limitations, works on googleplay and stock ...not tried any other, htc's music player as got a cropped down version of the music channel tied only the that app, this one should be global.
Now that I'm back stock (but still S-Off), can i get this to work?
Before stock, i tried Viper Rom, and this Rom has the channel enabled...
This is rad! Such a fail on their part for having this defaulted to off. I tried it with Google play music and spotify and it worked no problem. I used root explorer to change everything needed and took two seconds. Thank you soooo much!!!!

Yes, will work on stock, its part of htc's rom, its installed because there music app uses it, but htc disabled the global use.
Just enabled it for ARHD 10.2. Fantastic! Thank you!
i have a line for "support_music_ringtone", another line in the same area for "support_outdoor_mode"... nothing that says "support_music_channel" though... any ideas?
For people who cannot get the Lyrics to work it is due to Gracenote country restrictions.
If you cannot get lyrics for music , download any VPN app and browse as a US user.
I personally prefer Tunnelbear.
then after you turn it on go to the music channel , click the menu button then update lyrics..wait a couple of seconds and your lyrics will be there.
I only needed to do this once..it is working now even after i turned VPN off.

This feature is already there just no such special dedicate button popup at notification.
During playback of song, scroll to right at main music player (from now playing to visualizer) and you will get the exact same thing.

Htc's music visualizer's not global/system wide, as wrote above, its in the htc music app but htc disabled it for use on other music apps, It also has its own play/stop/skip buttons in full screen plus, I think it enables a few more visuals but not 100% on that as I never looked in the music app, if someone wants to look before they enable it and give feedback ..that would be great.

Oh others music apps. That I didn't use others apps.
But for HTC own apps, it is there.
I'm using it now with Amazon Prime. Is there a way to turn off the lyrics and just have the visualizations?

I have wondered about this, too. In fact, it seems to me that Samsung's always on display (AOD) feature is quite severely limited, to the point that I question it has value that exceeds its cost in battery life.
I like my S7 Edge device very much, but I also own a Droid Turbo 2 (basically the same device as the Motorola Moto X Force), and having become accustomed to the exceptionally useful features of its version of an AOD (called Moto Display), I can scarcely believe Samsung's engineers weren't embarrassed to release their flagship's analogous feature, having surely seen their competitor's version.
On the Motorola device, the Moto Display screen only comes on when you look at it or it detects activity in front of the screen.
Unlike Samsung's implementation, Moto Display reacts fully to touch, allowing the following interactions:
* initiate a screen unlock
* view icons of apps that have unseen notifications
* touch an icon to see a preview of the app's notifications
* drag an icon to a notification to initiate an interaction with the notification
It may not seem clear how this works, so here is an example of a frequent use case for me:
We frequently binge-watch various Netflix series on TV via a Chromecast, using my phone as the Netflix controller. When credits roll on an episode, I reach for the device and the Moto Display comes on. One of the icons will be a black and white version of the Netflix icon. I touch the icon, and a Netflix play-control appears at the top of the screen. I drag the Netflix icon to the forward-arrow ("next episode") on the Netflix control. The next episode instantly queues and begins to play on the TV. I move my hand away from the phone and its screen returns to the off state.
This whole process takes about 3 seconds, and is accomplished in a single smooth motion from start to finish. The first time I did it, I instantly appreciated how well thought out this particular user interface design was.
Another way in which the Moto feature excels is that third party app support is pretty much indistinguishable from first party apps, unlike Samsung, where some of the AOD and Edge features are limited to Samsung and affiliate apps.
I really hope Samsung doesn't rest on their laurels here, and continues to improve the Touchwiz AOD experience. They have a long way to go to match their competitor's similar feature, in my opinion.

You guys are expecting to interact with a feature that was solely meant to show the time and notifications... If you want to change music, turn the damn devices on.

You guys are expecting to interact with a feature that was solely meant to show the time and notifications... If you want to change music, turn the damn devices on.

I don't think it's unreasonable to hope for a more robust implementation at some point. If people go online and post about what they like and don't like, hopefully it is helpful for manufacturers and developers to gauge the demand for things they may be working on or thinking about developing in the future.
And I'm not at all sure I share your opinion about what Samsung intends as the ultimate boundaries and limitations of their always on display feature. Maybe they just ran out of time and had to settle for something less than they would eventually like to offer.

It's a very logical idea to use ways on for this (with the option to disable it)
Suprised it's not implemented.
Any news?
It could be very useful to change music while driving.
Or is there maybe something like the OPO swiping gestures?
A long press on volume buttons with screen locked to skip or back tracks would help a lot, there's one xposed module to do this but I don't want to root..

I tried a xposed module and it doesnt worked with spotify, only with the music player.
Also the default musicplayer shows up when playing a song and waking up the phone, not like spotify where u directly see the lockscreen. Is there at least a way to make this possible for spotify?

Try XTouchwiz or Physical Button Music Control.
The first should work in theory if you freeze stock music app, and the second used to allow (it's been a couple months since I used it) to select which app would the "next/prev" action be directed to.

Thank You, both moduls are working now :good:
Never though i have to freeze of select something
I know it's not the best nor ideal, but since I'm stock I'm currently using Samsung Music player and the latest update offered a new feature when not fully unlocking the device but just waking it up shows a full screen cover art with tags and the option to either Skip tracks and Play/pause, not much but better than unlocking the phone whilst driving lol.

This is what i want for Spotify...
With root and xposed u can use a module called xposed additions and use the capacitive buttons for next/previous Song on the lockscreen, thats the best solution for the car i found

When i was at the Samsung Note 7 Launch in NYC ? they told me the Note 7 international version had this and other cool things but the USA version could not because of infringement reasons. I wonder if anyone figured out how to put it in the USA version and the S7E.
note 7 has that option with samsung music, along with a much usefull AOD so i guess we will eventually get it as well once nougat arrives.
You can control any music player from AOD

you can control any music player from always on display :good: .
My friend discovered this option.
you need to double tap.
this video posted by him shows the way

Please like the video if you find it helpful:angel:
^^^ You are on Nougat though. Many people aren't, and without Nougat and the updated AOD, you can't control the music player from the AOD screen. It is actually a Grace UI AOD thing, but Grace UI is not on the S7E unless you have Nougat of course. My N7 has Grace UI and it has the much better AOD options you just showed.
Using the device almost a year and never heard of it before. I wonder what else I haven't explored yet

Just being able to play the next track would be and awesome feature in aod
Double Tap in Song title in Samsung Musical Player opens up a control Pad

Re: S10+ auto volume adjustment

Re: S10+ auto volume adjustment
This issue started occuring since day 1 I had the phone. I'm using a radio app to listen to my favourite radio stations. I usually leave the radio running in the background and go to Instagram. After playing a video on Instagram the phone automatically increases the volume of the radio which is really annoying. Is there a way to fix this? I don't want to flash a custom ROM until the warranty is up. I'm willing to root the phone if there is a way for Knox to remain intact.
Not a fix exactly, more of a workaround you could try using this
http://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.samsung.android.soundassistant
You can enable volume levels for individual apps.

Thank you for the reply and sorry for the lack of mine!:highfive:
I downloaded the app and tried tweaking it but I didn't accomplish anything. What do I need to press/activate in the app?

Yeah something's not right, i just installed and set separate sound volume for Spotify and poweramp, yet they both start at the same level.
The idea is that when you start an app its preset to a particular level.
I will continue tinkering.

Strange. Mine now works as intended but now I get the exact opposite after watching a video. The sound of the radio goes down after I finished watching the video.
One more thing. It also happends if I don't have the Sound Assistant app installed. When the phone is about to increase/decrease the sound it makes a beep.
