Not making sense my title. My friend just bought a GS5 for AT&T.. I have mine for T-mobile. He swiped his fingerprint to unlock his phone, then like 5 minutes later I picked it up to play with it, turned it on thinking I would need his finger print, but i didn't.. Just swiped to unlock.
He said he forgot where the setting is, but he doesn't have to swipe his finger every time the screen is off.. I do. and its kind of annoying.
Where is this setting pleasee???
I would imagine that he doesn't have the setting to lock automatically when he hits the power button selected.

ok here is the deal. I was able to find where I can have my phone lock with the finger printer after xx amount of time ( I set mine for 30 minutes ) but!!!!! What he has.. When he turns his display off and back on, he has to swipe to open it. Like a typical unlock, after 30 minutes though, his will require a finger print.
now with mine, after I finger print it, I turn the display back on and its just ON. I don't like that because of butt dialing or any other issues. I want to be able to swipe to open, after 30 minutes finger print.
We played with his today trying to find where he made those settings and he can't find it now.
ARGGG!! this is so annoying, lol
COME ON!!! Is everyone confused as well?? Are we all in the twilightzone?
lol ttt
really? no one knows the answer to this?

WRONG!
Anyone else?
look.. It's this easy.
On his GS5. when he powers off his screen with the sleep button, and turns it right back on, he has to swipe to unlock. But every 30 minutes, he has to use his finger print.
Get it?? so if I'm driving home from work and unlock my phone 3-7 times, I don't want to have to use a finger print to do it, but I do want to swipe to unlock.
but every 30 minutes of inactive use, it will automatically lock to a finger print.
His is set this way, how is this done!

I realize this is annoying to you but your response to someone trying to help you was rude.
I also don't see anywhere other than the lock screen settings to manage your security settings. Mine also works like your friends, seemingly by default. The only thing I can suggest is to change the security to swipe and then back to fingerprint. Maybe it's some kind of glitch you found.

It's a forum, it's read differently to some people, it wasn't meant as rude. Although the reply was extremely basic, I know how to get into my security settings.
What I'm asking seems harder to find then a noob trying to root his phone. It is frustrating. It's a basic feature and I'd love to have it
Hello,
Go to lockscreen setting and set the lock automatically time to 30 mins. Also you will find an iption below stating lock instantly with power button, disable that option and you are done. Your phone will lock to fingerprint oly after 30 minutes of inactivity

Still not helping.. Again...
When I shut my screen off with the power button and turn it back on, it just turns on without any swiping needed. After 30 minutes finger print is needed.. But I want to have to swipe to unlock my phone, finger print within 30 minutes!!

This is how I feel right now
I'm on XDA forums, not some kiddy site and we can't figure this out.
someone mentioned it was a bug, maybe that is true? But I would love to see if someone can confirm this. Is it a bug. Is it simply NOT possible?
Do people understand what I'm saying?
It's not an app. He literally just bought the phone that day! He still talks about it with me all the time. I laugh at how the genius's here can't figure this thing out.
I mean.. Maybe I start a thread, "What do you use to unlock your phone"
I can't see people using fingerprint EVERYTIME to just open the phone for a second. It takes too long.
I think most people just don't even use the fingerprint option and thats why this thread is lacking any replies.
I use fingeprint all the time. I have looked at all my settings and cant find any options to set swipe as temporary lock screen.
I wish I could as I would like that option too. However I dont think that fingerprint takes too long. I just swipe my thomb and the phone opens.
Your problem sounds like something is preventing the phone from even locking. I had a similar issue on my Galaxy S4. There's an app called Swann View Plus that I would use for viewing our cameras at work. For some reason, whenever I opened it, clicked back to home, and then locked the screen, when I woke up the phone I would not have to swipe to unlock, it would just be there at the home screen.
Now I have the same app on my Galaxy S5 and it doesn't do that, however I would look towards some kind of app causing this issue. Wipe your device to factory and check to see if it is still doing the same thing as it is now, or if it does as your friend's does which is also what mine does.

I like to leave my phone unlocked 90% of the time.
Does anyone know if there's an exposed module out there that will let me quickly toggle between the swipe (or no lock screen) and the fingerprint lock screen?
Doing it through setting is a PITA when you've got to enter your alternate password every time.
I would like to just be able to lock the phone on a one time basis.
That's a nice idea. May be someone will make it in future..
But for now I think, there's no app or mod available yet.
I think the no lock home xposed module may be suitable for you but it cannot be set to time ulnock only wifi connection, bluetooth device or cell signal. I hope I could help.

Hello,
It's not what you need but a good alternative is to use FingerSecurity from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...fingersecurity-fingerprint-lock-apps-t2818896
which has a widget on/off.
You can set any app to protect (settings as well) by fingerprint security and just active protection by widget.
So your phone won't be locked, but any app of your choice will
Best regards
Franky
someone mentioned before about nfc wearable's for locking and unlock the ngc rings are pretty cheap
would this help:

This is the closets thing I've found that works. Just wish there was a way to "select all" instead of locking app by app.
The location or NFC ones don't work for me...

You really don't need to secure all apps.
Settings, gallery, sms, mail, file manager, all that can explore your phone, really easy to do.

It's a viable solution, just not the most elegant.
I would rather lock the whole phone, but this does the job for now.
Wonder how hard it would be to make something like that?

In fact, I'm really stupid.
The solution you need is here, in front of us
Just protect your home launcher by fingerprints, and use widget on/off on home screen.
When active, and when you'll screen on, your launcher will be protected, so your phone will be "locked"
(Only thing you need to do is to come back on home screen before screen off, if not, last open app will appear if not protected.)
Enjoy

I was using screen lock pro previous on my Note 7 which worked, but it does not play nice with Nougat and the stock Nova gesture cause you to not be able to do a subsequent unlock using fingerprint sensor
seriously? God that's annoying. I have that problem on my s7 and I figured a phone that had native knock on would work fine but androids dumb ass security Bs is preventing it from working right. well that's crap.

try screen off and lock 1.17.3. it's old, but should work as long as you allow it as a device administrator
Smart Launcher does the same. If you use the double tap gesture to trun off the screen, it makes you use a pattern or knock code to unlock it again. I've just been using the notification bar double tap.

Try DTSO from the Google Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.enlace.doubletap&hl=en
I use the Dynamic widget/Transparent option for screen-off.
Using Apex Launcher Pro & no lockscreen security,other than the swipe to open (No fingerprint/code or pattern lock) & the stock Double-Tap to unlock works fine.
It's the Double-Tap to screen-off function that I use with this app & it works flawlessly.
I realize most want to use a screen security lock of some sort,but,wanted to post this work-around for 3rd party launchers for the few that don't use lock screen security measures.

did you go into security settings on the phone and make Nova AND screen off....device administrators? Then go into nova settings, gestures, and then select the double tap gesture...choose apps and then select screen off.

Yep, both are device administrators. When I try to unlock the device, it says device administrator has locked it and needs my pin.
I had this issue on my S7 and Note 7 and used screen lock pro since it had a delay it would work, but it does not play nice with Nougat
I just set up a double tap gesture to lock screen. When you do it the first time it gives you two options: Make nova a device admin, or not. With the first method, you wont be able to unlock with fingerprint. With the second, you can unlock with fingerprint but it takes about 15-20 seconds before you can. I went with the second option.

It does take a little longer than it says. But eventually it does. I'm hoping once the feature is out of beta it works as advertised.
This was/Still is driving me crazy, being not able to unlock using fingerprint after setting Nova as a device Admin is really a bummer, but then again, this only was introduced in Marshmallow and up, it seems that Devs are getting more and more crazy about the "Security" and now, with each update, its getting really annoying, stuff like "Screen Overlay" and this, is seriously annoying.
I joined Nova Beta, lets see !
I reached out to Nova for answers. They said that it's an unfortunate situation with how 6.0+ was designed but said that there is a workaround if you're rooted. I've asked for this details. Since I really don't care about android pay, I'll probably root this phone.
It works fine when I use one of lg's launchers. Using nova launcher it does not work. I can force it to work, or I can use greenify to hibernate and lock screen but both methods require device admin privileges. No biggie, but then you're forced to use patter unlock, and I would venture whatever other method you use as back to the fingerprint scanner. I am using pattern. It requires I use it because I gave those two other methods to lock phone development admin privileges thus making fingerprint scanner a lot less useful. It wakes phone but I have to use pattern like I would if I rebooted. Anybody using nova having same problems or found a workaround? Bugging the hell out of me as I finally have a nice finger scanner, coming from the note4 and it was almost useless with a case on, and I love unlocking my phone as I take it out of my pocket. If others using nova are having same problem let's brainstorm and figure this out. It is nice double tapping to lock phone also.
Double tap the notification bar works anywhere.

I already covered this in another thread - it's a known issue since Android 6. In 6 there was a workaround but with 7, there has been changes and the workaround doesn't work.
I spoke with Nova and there is a root workaround for it but we don't have root yet.

It's a PITA and will take some getting used to. I had the LG G3 and the OPPO Find 7 which both had dttw. But with nova you have to hit the tiny notification bar, which as someone said will take some practice. Just make sure you have it turned on in nova's settings.

In addition to the FP, use on body detection and face unlock.
That should reduce if not eliminate the need to unlock the phone manually.

I used it on other phones where you had to use at minimum a swipe to open & it bypassed that requirement,perhaps it'll do the same in this situation.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it, but still have to swipe to get in. I'm not sure of other OS' but TouchWiz allowed for it. I'll write OnePlus Dev's to hopefully include it on an update. Also, native rear flash notification since we don't have a led for it.
