I love the phones that have this feature. And so does the OOS. You can determine a time for the phone to close and open by itself. Saves battery at night. The problem is that when I turns on it asks for pin before fully turning on. And because of that the alarms I have set don't ring. Is there a setting or a way to bypass the pin on startup? I have installed Freedom ROM.

Yes. Remove the PIN altogether.
If it were that simple to bypass the PIN, it wouldn't be much of a security, would it?
Thanks for the obvious... What I meant is if there is an option to disable pin only when opening the phone. Not in general. For example ResurrectionRemix has this option. As do other manufacturers from stock (Lenovo etc).

Is there a way to unlock the phone right away by using imprint? Mine keeps asking for pin or pattern after it recognizes the fingerprints

Are you using a double tap to turn off app for your screen? They interfere with it.

I am having the same issue and I'm not using any double tap to wake/sleep apps.

Is this happening every single time you use your fingerprint or only after a boot/reboot? It should only occur once after each time the phone has booted up.

Yup pretty much every time and no I haven't rebooted yet.

Same problem here. Sometimes it asks for the passcode after the fingerprint. Sometimes on bottom of the screen the print sensor icon is replaced by a lock. I just had another bug where I was on chrome browsing a website and the lockscreen appeared by itself.
EDIT: I uninstalled this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.qihoo.security&hl=fr and it seems to not happen again for the moment. (I also tried to disable lockscreen security, then enable it again, registering my fingers again but it didn't solved it)
EDIT2: Oops it did it again.
Go to Security-> Device Administrator and untick all the apps. Lock your phone with power button. Now, try fingerprint.
Probably one of the apps there is misbehaving.

Same thing kept happening to me, I realised that its because I used a screen lock widget on my home screen to lock the screen. It didnt work when i did that. But if i use the power button to turn screen off, it goes back to the normal imprint mode.
somethimes when I put my finger on the scanner instead of unlock it it ask for the pattern password and sometimes it works well.
(when I try with finger that isn't in the system its vibrate and do nothing so from this I figure that it does recognize my finger when I use the right one and it open the pattern)
what can I do
Edit:i found the problem I was used an app names screen lock that make this problem if someone have the same problem check if u use an app that have connection with the lock screen you can check this is settings security
It asks for the pattern on the first fingerprint unlock after a reboot. Could it be your case?

It will do this when you first restart your phone.
Happens on every reboot, as @lomax79 and @geoff5093 said. I have also had it occasionally ask for my password for "extra protection".
do you have a lock screen replacement or perhaps you are using a launcher that has lockscreen settings enabled?
if so, that is likely the 'issue'. Try disabling it/them.
I occasionally get the password screen after attempting to unlock with a fingerprint. This is not after a reboot, just random times throughout the day. At first I thought it was random reboots while in my pocket, but the uptime clock has not been reset.
I've been getting this from day one and it seems to have good times and bad times regarding g how often it happens I could understand it happening if I was buying something.
Oh and it seems to happen more if I shut the phone down with Tap screen but if I put phone down and let it power down on its own it won't ask for password on next restart, bugs me a bit.hope Google can polish it up a bit.

It's not happen just after reboot it happen sometimes per day
It's possible your phone has been constantly rebooting. The only time it will ask for your pin or password is when you first boot up the device as an extra security layer. I've RMA'd my current device for that reason as well. Expecting a new one Monday. If the problem keeps happening I'd recommend RMA'ing
found the problem
How you solve ?

So I just took the update and when I go to unlock my phone half the time I have to now use my swipe pattern to unlock and not just my fingerprint. I get a message saying that my pattern is required for additional security. It only happens about half the time.
Friggin annoying and I'm hoping that there is a fix or setting I'm missing. It wasn't like this before the update.
Suggestion??

Works fine for me. I have a different complaint. The network extender I was forced to purchase to recieve calls in my home no longer connects with my phone. It was supposed to help.
I think I figured out the issue. I have a double tap to sleep setup via Nova launcher. When o put the phone to sleep that way my fingerprint doesn't work.
Well that sucks!!!

yup these "security updates" completely ruined double tap to wake, and now our s7 is just like every other carrier in that it doesn't work anymore. awesome!

On unlocking phone its been saying please use pattern instead of fingerprint scan because of security. Any idea what the problem is and any recommendations on how to resolve this issue? Also done cache clear but still the same issue
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
You may have activated Smart Unlock by accident? you can set your phone to not ask you for an unlock depending on location or connected to a network or a bluetooth device. I have mine unlocked at home, so it only prompts me to swipe. Soon as I disconnect from the wireless network it will start prompting for a fingerprint scan or my pin.
If that ain't it then I wouldn't know, hope it helps.

This is because you are probably using an app/gesture to lock the screen (or anything else other than the power button). I have the same issue if I use Nova launcher gestures to lock my screen. I now use LMT for screen-off and that doesn't cause any problems.
I added pin lock because the gmail ask for more security or something like that.
i don't know why but i can't get access to the phone - my number doesn't fit and i have no idea what to do.
i don't want to loss all my data, this is non-root device.
anyone can help me please?

Unless you setup smart lock where it unlocks when you're at your home wifi for example. There isn't much you can do with a lost code and a device with a locked bootloader. I would try to do your pin but try the possible buttons you could have accidently pressed. Other than that you would need to boot into recovery and just factory reset. This will get your phone back but your data will be wiped. Maybe someone else has suggestions. Did you enable USB debugging?

Yeah unless you have smart lock, usb debugging, and/or you are rooted you are going to have to loose your data
I always enable smart lock for my car, for just this very scenario.
I once was using "ultimate rotation control" and due to a bug, it would blank the lock screen (the phone didn't have FP reader, at the time) so that it was impossible to unlock. But then I remembered I had it set up to automatically unlock in the car. Lo and behold, the solution worked.

Can't you use the Find My Android thing that Google has to change the passcode on your phone? I'm pretty sure you can use it to remotely lock your phone. Then to unlock it you use your Google Password.
unlock with "OK Google" if you have Voice match activated?
