Not sure if this is what you are talking about, but maybe try the No Lock app from the market...
hmm let me explain this I get the standard lockscreen display before I can unlock the phone, so it goes:
On/Off Button -> Lock Screen -> unlock pattern
i want it to go On/Off Button -> Unlock Pattern
is that possible?

Did you try the app I suggested? I think it does exactly what you are looking for...
There are also other apps on the market that disable the keyguard.
yes i did but it remove all unlocking...even the unlock pattern...i just want to remove the sense lockscreen not unlock pattern

Ah sorry, I forgot it did that (I use WidgetLocker now to actually replace the lockscreen). I also don't run Sense, so there's normally no lockscreen anyway when pattern lock in enabled.
Looked online and seems like it is a common complaint among Sense users. No good solutions appear to exist from just my quick searches (short of switching to a different). Maybe someone else will have some ideas...
k thx for ur answer i hope someone have a solution

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

It is how Android 6 behaves when a third party app locks screen.

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.
I'd like to keep fingerprints to use with App Lock and such but without using the lockscreen. Any way to keep them?
I also want this, so it works like a password for apps
but I don't like to unlock my phone at all, just swipe on the lockscreen
I searched a lot, found another thread someone wanted this too
but nobody understood him, they thought he wants only Fingerprint without pin?
but why is it not possible to use Fingerprint (and backup pin or password) ONLY for applock, and not on the lockscreen

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.

But then I can't swipe on the lockscreen, there's no lock at all, so if I was previously in whatsapp I would be instantly online, instead of just reading messages on the lockscreen

Try using the app No Lock :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock&hl=en_US
I don't use the FPR,or,any lockscreen for that matter,so,IDK if this will work.
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.

It was only a suggestion.
I don't mind a lock screen on my phone.
I want my phone to lock.

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.
Dear experts,
Today I got my Mi 9T. Still trying to find my way around, but... I find it PRETTY
ASTOUNDING, that when the phone is locked, I am able to swipe down on the
LOCKSCREEN, and I see all the icons for turning on and off of VITAL functions
like ringtone, wi-fi, mobile data...
This poses a SIGNIFICANT security risk, because anybody who steals the phone,
can turn off wi-fi and mobile data and then the Find my phone feature simply
won't work.
So, what is the solution to this ? I didn't find a way to disable that menu from
being shown in the lock screen...
Or maybe the Find my phone feature works when wi-fi and mobile data are off ?!?
Many thanks for your professional comments on that!
P.S .: I think it is like that on Samsung phones as well !!! WHY ?!?
I understand your concern, the drop down menu (aka Notification shade) can be dragged down on lockscreen and it is like this on every aosp kind off ROM....
But I am very sure that the icons CANNOT BE OPERATED unless you unlock the screen.
Try to turn off wifi and it should ask for password to unlock.
Can you check it out and conform it?
Settings -> Notifications -> Lock screen notifications* -> disable "Open notification drawer on the lock screen".
* the picture/icon on the left. It's not obvious it's a submenu (nor that there's such a critical setting hidden inside) because for no apparent reason they've decided to use a totally different design language here.
Thanks. Was great to read this, however I don't have this option... I only see apps, format and open notification shade... Nothing about the drawer
Any other ideas ?

That is the one. Notifications / Lock screen notifications / Open notification shade on lock screen - set it off and you won't see it on Lock screen anymore
I found it!! Was just too slow to report here. It is called "Open notification shade on lock screen" !!
THANKS A LOT to everybody !!

funny thing is to today I was looking up how to secure my phone as I still have access to a lot of things by just pulling down the drop menu so ja since when has security become so weak and its mostly on expensive androids phones that its happening I have a button type phone made by vodacom yet its security is more secure that mine it has the ability to set users on the hotspot which makes you think that you actually wasting on expensive when the main purpose is to be secure I also punched into to YouTube and I searched for secure yet all the results is lol how to unlock any android this is insane and I FEEL THAT BY ROOTING YOUR PHONE AND GIVEN AN OPTION TO CHANGE LIMITED ACCESS WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO AT LEAST HAVE MORE SECURITY ON OUR PHONES

No such option seems to exist on Asus Zenfone
Dear Experts,
I have a Mi 9T, global version. I would like to be able to turn on the Torch/Flashlight
very quickly, without having to unlock the phone.
I have read, that for this, I should swipe right when the phone is locked. This doesn't
do nothing on my phone.
Both when I just started it and even after installing the latest MIUI update.
Yesterday I tried to install 2 apps, that claim to have a lock screen widget, however
none of those works (meaning, I didn't find an option to enable a lock screen widget
in the settings).
Those were TinyFlashlight and Flashlight by 3.0.7 specifically...
Many thanks in advance!
Hi there, go to settings -> additional settings -> button shortcuts and set a button to activate torch. Personally I use double tab power button, very convenient
hey, you are GREAT !!! And a couple of hours earlier I just found that myself by just doing something else and I came here to say that I discovered it myself
However - the credit goes on you !! THANKS !!!
