So i go to the settings to set up face unlock and Everytime I click the option to add face data it just boots me right back to the same page. The options to have face unlock enabled and unlock right when the screen turns on are on but greyed out. Anyway to delete face data or fix this??
Edit:fixed it. Searched face unlock in the settings. Went to the app info. Deleted all storage and cache. Reset just fine! Now works perfectly

Hi guys,
Recently i installed the ROMs Phoenix 9.4 and Imperium 10.0, both with S5 style. Both works fine, but one thing not. I configured a PIN Password in my phone, but after reboot the system, the unlock mode is set to Slide Unlock (without password), if i wait the screen turn off or lock the system and try unlock, then the PIN Password is required.
This happened in the two ROMs.
Have a way to fix it?
I would like the password was required at first, immediately after the system becomes available.
Sorry for my english, i wrote with some help of Google Translate.
Thanks!
Did you find a solution?
I have the same issue. It used to work but at some point a few ROMs ago t stopped working.
I was told it was the kernel but I have tried 4 and all with the same result, basically the PIN lock does not activate untill 30 seconds or so after the phone boots up.

No, I have not found a solution. A partial solution was to activate a Pattern Unlock.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo i9301i from Italy without any service offer. But i use it in Bangladesh. When i tried to use that phone here it say's to give a pin code for network lock. I went to nearest local service center and they unlock the phone in some way but i can't use my Swipe, Pattern lock . I can only use password. It is very painful giving password every time. Here is a screenshot of my lock screen. Can anyone help me about this matter?
Hmm seems that your device is encrypted.. dont know why it disabled features for you.. i suggest wiping data/ factory reset over recovery mode ( vol up + home + power ) to see if it will help. Note that this will remove everythign from your phone so backup important data
Maybe because in Italy is Locked,but i don't think that has to do...
Horrible english but i'm italian

Go to LOCK SCREEN and change to swipe or what ever you whant? Than write the password you already have signed and done. I make the same and its working for me.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I had encrypted my phone. Do you know anything about if i do factory reset/wiping data, will it show again a network lock? If it become network lock again it will cost me about 20$

Strange i just encrypt but when i go to lock screen i enter the password and now i normal i dont know what will happen after charge or reboot.
And dont be nervous i try to help your choice did you will accept.
(sorry for mistakes and for my english)
Well, if factory reset does not solve your problem, the alternative that I can think of is to use ODIN to flash stock firmware.
Thanks all for reply. I just solved the problem. It was happening for encrypting my device. After decrypting my device the problem is solved

Did you change the time for secured lock screen? Go to Setting>Lock screen and click on "Secured Lock Time." Change the setting to Instantly lock after screen off.
it is, but still not solved

Go into recovery mode and then perform "Clean Cache Partition"
i didnt mention a thing : when i wipe data+cache+dalvik.... the fingerprints stay even without samsung or google login
Hi! As the title says, I somehow can't use that option.
I had fingerprint scanning for a while but got tired of it so wanted to go back to just swiping but that option is not clickable. I have tried switching to other password methods and that works just fine and I also deleted my fingerprint. But it still doesn't work to use the just swipe option... Any solution? Except factory reset.

Hi,
It could be that you have a device administrator active (Google Device Manger) that requires the screen to be locked by PIN or password. To check and disable it go to Settings> Advanced settings> Security> Device administrators.
Cheers
I tried that now when you answered, but disabling that feature didn't help either..
This option is locked in kernel by Huawei because of encryption policy or credential storage.

What does that mean? And is there a way to bypass that?

It mean, that Huawei try to mentain the security of device. Maybe if you root the phone you can get full acces. You saw if you reset the phone, at start up it's required to insert the pin code. I will analyse this situation.
i have the same problem, the only way to disable the lockscreen code is by skipping it during first setup after resetting the phone
It's possible with a little workaround. Change screenlock to pattern and make a recovery pin -> Turn screen off and on -> Input wrong pattern 5 times -> Wait for the 60 second countdown and press use pin in bottom right corner -> Use your recovery pin to unlock phone and then press home button. That's it.
I contacted Huawei customer service. They told me if I have used encryption before even if you removed it the only way to turn swipe to unlock lockscreen again is to backup your data and factory reset.
This will help you to unlock your le 2 using face unlock without any custom rom or root.The method is very simple(generally overlooked) and is for those who want to stay on EUI.
Pre requirements update your playservices and Google app.
Now go to settings and select fingerprint and password.From here go down and select Smart Lock under screen locking management .
Enter your phone password and proceed, from there select trusted face and proceed with the setup. Finish the setup and that's it, you are done and now face unlock is enabled.
However there's a disadvantage that you'll have to swipe up the screen in order to unlock phone (that's in my case) if your detects automatically then congrats.
This can be done for any other phones too.
