A bit annoying if you change the way the device lock pattern , then still have to "slide" the lock screen and then u see the pattern lock... in the old galaxy its not like this..
In old galaxy u see only the pattern lockscreen whisout to slide...
Same problem.
Whenever im going to unlock tha phone, the option is to slide to unlock. Though im using the pattern and Fingerprint lock. But still whenever im about to unlock, the slide to unlock exist and people could unlock my phone. Maybe sammy doesn't know this problem.
Any solution on these?
I have slide to unlock on mine but when you use it, you then have to either enter your pin or use fingerprint, It doesn't just let you into the phone does it ?

Is anyone else anoyed by the redundant unlock process with 2.2? In 2.1 I had a pattern unlock only, you were able to disable the single swipe thing. Now it appears if you activate any kind of unlock (pattern, PIN, password) you will have to swipe the screen first to even get to the unlock pattern. Why? Only way to delete the swipe is to have no unlock pattern at all.
I did at first but I found out that you can control music with that lock screen. So when I have it hooked up in my car I dont have to unlock the phone just to change the song. After a while I just got used to it...
I had it disabled when I upgraded... now it's nowhere to be seen. WidgetLocker it is. Sort of your problem reversed.
ah ha! i knew i wasn't hallucinating. I had some audio controls for pandora even in 2.1 at one point, but they mysteriously disappeared. anyone know how to get that feature back?
I found numerous threads about this by searching, but no solution. Surely there's a way to disable the slide lock mechanism so that the phone goes straight to pattern lock...? I found widgets that will remove both, but not just the slide one. I'd prefer to do this without root, but also would be interested in how to do it if root is the only method.
Bump...is this just not possible rooted or otherwise?
+1... same here.
I hate to have to slide lock and then pattern lock. Wondering this myself.
Anyone?
Another bump... still wondering if there's a solution to this...
CM 7 has the pattern lock screen with no slide to unlock. You just press the unlock button on the top of the phone, and it goes straight to the pattern unlock screen. You do the pattern, and the phone is unlocked.
CM 7 RC 1 that is..
Hi, so on my Droid 3 Stock GB/ Motoblurr I could set a lockscreen pattern, and put a delay. So if I lock the device, and then unlock it within 3 minutes of locking it, I would have to slide to unlock it, but would not need my passcode. Is there a way to do this with a tweak maybe, I can delay the pattern but then I do not need to slide it, which I would like to do.
Recently I started having an issue with fingerprint unlocking.
When I press the home key and put my thumb on it, the screen registered the thumb by the display getting slightly smaller then bigger and vibrating, but it doesn't unlock or change from the lock screen.
If I setup away the lock screen notifications or swipe to get to the "enter password or fingerprint" screen then it will unlock normally.
It seems to have simmering to do with notifications being on the lock screen.
Any ideas?
Help. I used the fingerprint lock screen method. Now on The Samsung s7, is asking for a password, after shutting down the phone, then back on. I can't get any passwords to work to release the locked screen. What do I do

why u posted on a two old month post?
and that situation looks like a stolen phone lol
when u set up fingerprint lock the phone ask u for a secondary method to unlock like pattern, pin or password (u can't setup figerprint unlock w/o doing this), when u reboot the phone ALWAYS ask u for that method on the first unlock, then u can use fingerprint as usual
Hello, looking for some help with resetting my phone's lock screen pattern unlock. I use fingerprint unlock as my primary unlock method and lock screen pattern unlock as my secondary. Recently, I've gotten into the habit of unlocking my phone via pattern instead of fingerprint. However as I tried to unlock my phone via pattern unlock yesterday, it didn't accept it and my phone locked me out for periods of time. I can still unlock my phone via fingerprint and if I'm in a trusted location (Home). I have no idea why my pattern is no longer being accepted.
As I'm still able to unlock my phone via fingerprint/trusted location, I went to settings to reset my lock screen pattern, but it requires the lock screen pattern to reset/change to a new lock screen pattern. Because my lock screen pattern is not being accepted I can't change/reset my lock screen pattern.
Is there anyway I can get around lock screen pattern to change to a new lock screen pattern?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Thanks guys, I was actually able to unlock and reset the pattern with 'Find My Mobile' Samsung service.
Hi onechionly,
How were you able to reset the pattern?
My wife ran into the same thing with her Samsung Galaxy Edge S7. She had a pattern and fingerprint set up. One day, her pattern no longer worked but the fingerprint worked fine. She can unlock with the fingerprint but if she had to change lock options (new pattern or a PIN), the phone asks for her pattern lock and she can't get further.
We logged into her Find My Mobile, but I couldn't find an option to "reset" the pattern. The closest thing I found was to lock her phone using a PIN and she can go in, but that's not the issue. The phone requires a pattern to access further security options in Settings.
If you provide more details, I would greatly appreciate it.
