Guys one noob question how can i unlock the device only with finger print? On oxygen2.2.1 I have that option available and on CM based ROMs just can't find it,tanks.
What do you mean with only FP? It's a safety feature to still be able to use on screen pattern since the FP sensor has a tendency to stop working from time to time under CM13 telling you the hardware is missing. Only being able to login using FP would lock you out of your phone in those moments. Also first time unlock after reboot requires patter unlock to verify it's you and not just a 3d rubber print out of your finger print. ?
The problemas was an APP called screen lock that I always use,after uninstalled it everything works fine now,thanks

How do you get the phone to recognize youe fingerprint? It is so annoying how it keep failing to recognize the fingerprint and asks to enter the code or pattern.

Go to Settings -> Security -> Nexus Imprint. Follow on screen instructions to register your fingerprints (up to 5).
I believe there is a setting to not have to input a code every time, check to see if that is your issue. I only have to enter a pin after a reboot, then just the fingerprint unlocks the phone.

I didn't explain myself well I guess. It happens to not recognize the fingerprint and then asks for pattern/code. It is annoying.
First I would say to clean it well. Second i would suggest you reset the print and add extra sets too. Also what ROM, firmware ect are you running? I have had flawless experiences with my sensor across various ROMs. I do a full set scan for 4 fingers. My 2 pointers and my 2 middles as well as another scan set for odd positions. This ensures no matter what I'm holding or position my phone's in it will be easily unlocked.

Running chroma 2/3 build with february firmware but I don't think that's the issue. I will try to register it again. Thanks.

I've had the same problem since the last week after updating a resurrection remix version. I think it's been doing something weird, but it'll unlock normal in the car and stuff so I don't know. Seems like when I put my finger on the sensor it will wake the device and want me to enter a PIN. If I put an unregistered finger on the sensor it won't wake it it'll stay black screen. It might be something to do with when you are at home with smart unlock. Hmmm....

I thought it could be the smart unlock and removed it but still same thing. Might have to go all stock and test it again. I had another nexus 6P before and that one you get unlocked really fast without any issues.
Edit: Found the issue. Double tap to lock ftom Nova was forcing the device to request pattern or pin.
I have a security issue, unless its me being silly.
I am fully stock unrooted.
I have never had any problem until today and I realised my phone unlocked without a pass code or finger print, I know this because I always wear rubber gloves and have to type the pin in to get into my phone, I do this day in day out and today after several unlocks it stopped asking for the pin.
I have uploaded a video showing what happens
It funny though because when I click the lock on the bottom of the unlock screen it prompts me for a pin or finger print, but if I don't touch the lock, just a simple swipe unlocks it.
Is there something I have pressed by accident which causes this?

Check your smart lock settings. Is anything enabled?

I can't replicate the issue here - not sure what would cause this other than the smart bluetooth lock as suggested by the above poster.

I haven't changed anything, I have cleaned the finger print sensor, no new apps installed.
Weird
Put it on charge and it's fixed it's self!

So, I took delivery of my G4 plus less than ten days ago.
Everything worked fine, except that the fingerprint sensor occasionally acted up. It would often fail to recognise my fingerprint, about one out of every ten scans; but i assumed that my dry skin had something to do with it.
Today morning, upon waking up, I noticed the phone had become unusually hot and switched it off for the first time in nine days. When I turned it on again, the fingerprint sensor was totally dysfunctional.
I tried unlocking with the sensor. No luck. Forget sensing my finger, it wouldn't even vibrate to indicate that an input was detected.
Tried searching for fingerprint sensor in settings. No luck.
Dialed *#*#2486#*#* for CQATest. Attempting to open the fingerprint sensor section resulted in an FC.
Performed a factory reset. Back to square one, still no fingerprint sensor. Initial setup wizard simply behaved like the phone has no fingerprint sensor.
All subsequent attempts to get it to work have failed.
I've been using pattern unlock, and while everything else works fine, the sensor seems to be unrecognized by the phone.
My guess is that it's a hardware issue, but I'm baffled by what caused it. I've been extra careful, never dropped it even on a bed. No water contact. It's stock, no sideloaded apps installed and bootloader untouched.
Google searches proved useless, as did a thorough search of XDA, Moto's forums and a subsequent call to Moto customer care.
Would anyone happen to have a solution? I've requested a replacement from Amazon, but it would be nice to have a quick solution handy if this issue crops up again in future.
Thanks!
check whether in the security settings you get a fingerprint settings. if not search in the settings searchbar for fingerprint. if nothing worked try installing a applock "applock" and try to enable fingerprint within them and try to unlock. an important thing is this one, try using a full screen app of your choice and tap fingerprint sensor. if it opens the softkeys your mobile is messed up with software, if it didn't open the softkeys then the mobile is messed with hardware. cheers

If the phone is still within the replacement window, get it replaced. Otherwise, you can:
1. Get it repaired at a Moto service centre if within warranty period (that way you won't lose warranty)
2. Get it repaired at a local service centre (only if warranty has expired and Moto is charging higher for the repair)

Hi everyone,
I notice that I can bypass my fingerprintsensor with tapping 3 times with the wrong finger on it and after the third time, the phone is unlocked.
I am on the last stock oxygenOS.
Does somebody else have this bug?
No.
No.
Yes I found that since the 1st day.
Now I tried twice with with a unregistered finger with the 3rd try another unregistered finger and it is unlocked!!!!
not all the time.

Doesn't happen to me. Have you got a pattern enabled?
After 3 failed finger print attempts the phone prompts for a pattern.
After testing, I was shocked to see that this worked on my phone...but after a little testing, it only unlocks on the third attempt when the phone has a smartlock device connected and doesn't require a PIN anyways.
If I turn Bluetooth off, the third wrong finger button press simply turns on the screen and asks for my PIN.

Smartlock was the key here!
I turned trusted places "home" off and on the 3rd try asked for the pin code.
So basically if I'm in trusted places or connected to a trusted device after 3 consecutive failed fingerprints it will open my phone without pin code

I think that's the point of smart Lock... ? So you don't have to unlock even with FP. Just swipe up and it should unlock...
That is interesting. Would only work around safety devices/places?
It's a small thing, but it bugs me in my daily use of my phone. I recently got my A40 and upgraded Android from 9 to 11, and now I can't lock the phone by touching the fingerprint sensor anymore . But unlocking works fine though. I have been googling around but noone seems to have this problem.
Do anyone in here have aclue to what might be the problem here ?
Since when could you even lock the phone using the fingerprint sensor?
Nonetheless, this is the XDA community of developers, and im sure a random person just needed this functionality on their phone, so they made and app for it..
Anyways, here's a link to a tutorial. It covers exactly what you want, and apparently the app is developed by a couple of XDA developers, so it should be safe too

From the get-go, when I bought my phone. Thought it was normal. My old Moto G5 did same thing. Really handy when you just need to view whatever is on the screen for a short moment.
Locking the screen means turning it off.. (and locking your device so that you have to scan your finger or use a pattern to unlock it again)

Otherwise yes, the phone's screen will turn on on the lock screen if you touch the sensor and the fingerprint isnt recognised. That's not the same as locking your phone. Locking your phone is the equivalent of pressing the power button once, which puts your phone into sleep and forces you to unlock it again (via fingerprint/pattern etc)
Can you clarify what you're asking for here?
Do you want the screen t oturn on when you tap the sensor or do you want the screen to turn off when you tap the sensor?
And do you want it to unlock when you tap the sensor, or do you want it to turn the screen on onto the lockscreen so that you can see the time/notifications etc?
(The links I posted are for LOCKING your phone using the sensor (turning the screen off and locking it, causing you to have to unlock it again when you turn it back on), because that's what you asked for..
