I used about 6 months the finger print lock but this period because of job full in water I changed to Pin lock. So the problem is that is not locked, I just swap the screen and it open..In settings I checked 5 seconds after to lock but..no pin. Either when I restart the phone, just swap. So I tried to change back to finger print but when I put pin it sas wrong..Im so confused, its like a pin lock bug..
I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but try making sure smart lock is turned off. Smart lock could be keeping your phone unlocked, therefore requiring only a swipe instead of a PIN.

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.
Hey guys
Every time I use finger print to open my phone it always ask for PIN straight after, how do I turn off the PIN I just want to use finger print to open my phone? Thanks
If it's asking for the pin after you use the finger print without ever unlocking the screen first then it's not recognizing your finger print.
Are you locking it with double tap on nova prime or with the screen timing out? Those both force the PIN for me.
Using the power button to lock, the fingerprint works every time
Hi,
I have a Nexus 6P that obviously comes with Nexus Imprint (fingerprint scanner). I am rooted and have Xposed framework installed. AFAIK, in the Android security settings it is only possible to enable Imprint if a lock screen with a pattern, pin code or password has been set. I set a pattern. Imprint in combination with swipe screen to unlock is not possible unfortunately AFAIK. As I always carry my phone with me (in my pocket) I do not care that much about security of a lock screen. In fact it only annoys me to have to enter my pattern each time I turn on my screen. To be honest I only use Imprint to turn on my phone and not as a security feature. I could live with swipe to unlock. To overcome the annoyances of the pattern/pin code/password screen unlock I applied settings that the screen unlock shall not take place when I'm carrying the phone, when I'm in trusted places, when my phone is connected to my car bluetooth device and when the phone recognises my face.
I flashed Franco Kernel that supports double tap to wake functionality and which I find extremely useful. The problem with double tap to wake in combination with the above settings is that the phone sometimes turns itself on when it's in the pocket of my pants (I carry the phone with the screen towards my leg in order to protect the screen from getting damaged when accidentally a big object slams into my leg e.g. I run into the table corner). Apparently the fabric of the pocket is so thin that double tap to wake can be applied when the phone is in my pocket. In absence of a screen lock (disabled most of the time with the above settings) this can lead to my phone leading it's own life (e.g. last night without knowing calling my wife at 2.45 a.m. with the speed dial on my home screen when I was in a bar with friends and she was asleep at home; she thought I had had an accident or something, nearly gave her a heart attack ).
So what I would like to do is:
- keep Nexus Imprint so that I can turn on my phone with my fingerprint
- keep double tap to wake
- apply as little as possible screen lock modes other than swipe to unlock
- apply swipe to unlock whenever the phone is in my pocket (or, if that's not possible, at all times), without breaking the Imprint functionality.
Is there a way that I can achieve this?
Thanks!

Thanks. But I'm true to Franco Kernel and I'll stick to that.

When setting up imprint you can turn off the requirement for the secondary measure except for once on boot. I use only my fingerprint scanner to fully unlock my phone.
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.
