whenever i want to unlock my phone with my fingerprint, i HAVE to enter my pattern. Is this normal? can i make it so i can fully unlock my phone just using my fingerprint?
nope.. not normal. You should be able to awaken the phone screen and unlock it all with just your fingerprint.
This the opposite of normal........

Do you have a work Exchange policy setup on your phone?
If you are waking phone fingerprint should work. If phone was off then yoi will need Pin plus fingerprint.

Yes, the first time after a reboot if you use fingerprint to unlock it will still say "PIN required after reboot" or something to that effect. Otherwise it should wake and go right to your home screen every time.
Found the problem. Nova launcher. The launcher worked great with my s6 but not with my 6p. Ive noticed a lot of bugs like the notification shade scrolling down really slowly and this problem where it asks for a passcode /pin/pattern after unlocking with a fingerprint. See how it shows the lock icon instead of the fingerprint icon
oh well. i guess nova isnt too compatible with marshmallow. thanks for your help guys
Ive been having this problem on my 6p as well. It just randomly asks for my pin instead of my fingerprint. Going to try using something other than nova launcher for a bit and see if that helps.
-Edit, tried using google launcher for awhile, fingerprint works all the time now. That means that its a problem with Nova Launcher for now.

Ive been using nova prime without this issue you guys are talking about?
Are you using double tap to lock the phone?

There are a few paid apps that will give you back the double tap to lock. I am using gravity screen...it fixes the double tap to close, although there is a 5 second delay before you can try your finger after you double tap..I will try to find the link, but there is a thread about this issue already.

no its not the nova launcher. I got my 6p yesterday and I'm using google now launcher. every now and then it asks for pattern lock when I attempt to use the fingerprint scanner. don't what's wrong.
I tried nova launcher with tap to sleep app, but every time reopen the phone it will require me to enter the password again.
I think this is a new marshmallow feature. If a third party app locks phone, it requires password. What happens if you manually lock or let time out.

Screen Lock Pro by Prahallad has a setting to bypass security. There is a free app by the same Dev but I haven't tried it.
Once installed you can link Nova's double tap setting to it.
Try screen off and lock app

This ^.
It's the only app I've found that doesn't cause the pin lock screen to show the next time you unlock.

Hi
Thanks for the pointer, I tried the free version of the app, and setup my Nova's double-tap gesture to use Screen Lock shortcut, I am able to lock the screen but unable to wakeup w/ a fingerprint. Is there something special you had to do?
Thanks in advance

Does this app really lock the phone or it just shutdown the screen until the phone unlock itself on its own?

It just turn the screen black until it lock itself. Takes about 3-4s. I know the developer wrote there 10s but it only takes 3-4s on s7e. You know it when the AOD comes on etc etc...
As of now, from what I can tell there is no way to use an app or double tap to lock the screen without requiring a pin for a non rooted phone. Apps that turn off the screen but don't lock the phone isn't really an answer.

It is an answer though. You just have to tweak the settings in the security section so the phone locks immediately. There is still a 2 sec delay but to get to lock the screen with a double tap again and get to unlock with touch ID it's fine. It costs a little over $3 though.... which isn't much but is on the steep side for such a single purpose app. There is a marshmallows touch ID workaround setting in it as explained which merely turns the display blank (although for me the edge thing is still visible) then after a really short delay the screen actually turns off and AOD turns on. With the system settings set right it actually locks securely the moment AOD turns on. Max 2 sec delay. No one's gonna get a chance to get in your phone that quick.:good:
So, I did come across this same issue, and it seemed to have started for me when I applied the May Security Update. It happened on my Note 5 and my S7 Edge. But when I applied the July security patch to my Note 5, double tap to lock WITHOUT a pin next login actually worked again, not so on my S7 Edge, after applying. Havent had enough time to research and dig, but doesn't make sense working on 1 and not the other when both are 6.01, both on July security patch, both Verizon models, and both use Nova Prime. Has had me stumped since May....
Sorry. Original post placed in forum for wong device.
So i just bought this phone, on the first the fingerprint works just fine, after i restart the phone i notice my phone cant be unlocked by fingerprint, it even only written "slide to unlock" before it was "slide or tap fingerprint to unlock" , then i check the setting menu, the fingerprint menu is gone, i have factory reset and hard reset the phone and its not helping at all, it seems like the fingerprint scanner is not detected or something, please anybody got idea?

You can remote unlock the phone via android manager online, this is a great way to access and unlock a device when you either have an issue like this or forget your password/ pin

Thanks for the reply, but actually the problem is not unlocking the phone, because i remember the pin, the main problem is why my Zenfone 3 seems like not detect my fingerprint scanner, you can see the screenshot, there should be a fingerprint menu, but now its gone. how is that possible and how do i fix it? its so annoying because fingerprint is the major feature which makes it a bit expensive.

I seriously don't know. If i were in that situation. I would backup all my data first. Then reset the phone to factory state. If it happens again. I would contact Asus. Or check their forums for a solution.

You use ZenUI Launcher ?
My Phone locked with ZenUI launcher (double-tap on screen) => can unlock with fingerprint.
When I use Nova Launcher => Lock phone (by double-tap on screen) => can not unlock with fingerprint!
Im having the same problem. Did you get it fixed already?

For some reason i can use nova launcher prime and still able to use the fingerprint scanner. I even went as far as unintalled the Zen UI launcher.

Probably due to root access, mine is unrooted so fingerprint won't work with Nova. Installing dan configuring Screen Lock Pro will fix this, but have to wait 10 seconds after screen off to allow fingerprint unlock. Not so convinient.

Exactly, the convenience it brings is really great. Especially if you have a 25 character password lol. My password's too long for me to enter it all the time. And yes, maybe because of root access i'm able to do that

Have you ran Asus hardware test?
If not - have a try:
- open phone calculator (stock Asus) and type .12345+=
Pls note - no zero before the dot
- in the pop-up app, select single test, then fingerprint test.
If the test result is ok, your issue is software only. In contrary, it's a hardware failure.

Great tip.
I ran the test, fingerprint test went wrong.
So, in my case, it`s a hardware failure.
I have the same problem with ze522KL. Initially finger print worked for a few months. suddenly it stopped working. What. to do?

Just make sure it isn't hardware failure by running above mentioned hardware test. If the test suggests there is nothing wrong with hardware, then switch to swipe as unlock method first before setting up and returning to fingerprint unlock from scratch.
Mine is having problem like this.
Hardware test says it is working well but when I tried to register print no response at all.
Tried the pattern lock method as well but no luck.
Same case
It's happened to me also. I have done the test (.12345+= in calculator) and it said "something wrong with fingerprint test". For this case i'll contact Asus. It's really weird why so many people having same problem like this. Actually my device has been used for only no more than 3 months. I'm afraid there will be new other problem in the future.

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

I have a strange issue with S10+ ... I have lockscreen secured with unlock with facial recognition, and fingerprint and backup pattern
But I think I may have told the device during one of those auto generate messages to auto unlock when "on body" is detected
But the problem is this .... Intermittently when I take the phone out of my pocket it's opening with swipe up to the Samsung Pay screen asking for a finger print .... The problem is that no matter what l do (home button, back button, etc) it just goes back to the lockscreen.... Unless I go all the way through the Samsung Pay timeout thing
Not sure why this is triggering intermittently
Anyone else?

In the Samsung pay app use favorite card menu. You might need to uncheck one of the options.
