Hello everyone,
I hate it when my phone decides to call people all by itself. I've since found that my pattern unlock no longer works. It first happened with the CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1 and still happens now with 4.2.10.1.
I can disable the lock, edit a new pattern and re-enable it and it still chooses not to lock. Pressing the home key just brings me back to the home screen when the phone is asleep. It seems to remember the pattern as if I try and change it I need to get the old pattern right until it lets me make a change.
If anyone can help it will be much appreciated.
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 ?
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.
Hello, I was wondering if there is anyway to remove the "pin required when phone has been restarted" from the lock screen?
Turn screen lock off, then turn it back on again and it will ask you if you want your PIN to be required at bootup.
