yes!
I'm doing the swipe thing and it never works. I managed to get it to work ONCE yesterday, but I was in the settings for that feature. After that, even on that same settings page, it has never worked again.
Haven't tried flashlight notification, but I should try it since this phone lacks an led notification.

I just fixed my issue with the mini-view. Go to settings-Accessibility and make sure Switch Access is turned off. After disabling Switch Access, mini-view works.
I've enabled the flash on notification thing too. So far its working, but I need more time to test (to see if it just stops for some reason).

I have. Saw an old reddit post for LG v10 that solved it. You need to put your finger on the recent (square) and quickly and lightly flick slightly in either direction. Now it works every time for me. A flick, not a swipe.

Just a related update in-case Switch Access is off and miniview still isn't working...
This was my case where Switch Access was never turned on, but other apps were. I turned everything off one-by-one and back on again one-by-one and found that "Lookout" (that controls Safe Browsing) was causing my miniview not to work. I now have Switch Access and Lookout both off and it works again.
Hope this helps, too!

I have the lg v20 and I was having the same problem. The activation zone is very specific. Try swiping from the home button past the left edge, and I mean go off the edge. Tell me if that works for you. Techadict.com

Yeah I just did the same thing and found out that unfortunately ultimate rotation control breaks miniview, oh well at least I know how to make it work if need be anyway but thanks for this because it was driving me crazy!

Disabled outlook from the start and Switch Access is off, I still can't get the darn thing to work.
Some apps just break it really. I had parallel windows (an app that had an accessibility service and a spot on the screen you'd swipe from to activate) and miniview did not work at all. The activation hotspot didn't cover the navbar but I still couldn't get it to work. After I uninstalled it miniview worked perfectly fine. I dont have to swipe from specifically the recents key or anything like that, it works from any spot on the navbar.
There are quite a few apps that seem to break the functionality I've noticed. One that I used quite frequently was universal copy. Makes me wonder if it's an app that needs an accessibility service to work properly that does it as there was another one that needed it that also broke it

Anyone else seeing this behavior? On my 995, whenever I restart, or power on my phone.. I have to use the Knock Code to get into my phone, and it says "fingerprints unavailable for use" or something to that effect.
I find this odd behavior.
Its not odd behavior its LG behavior.
Unfortunately there's no way around it.
turn off secure startup in security...
Your fingerprint is encrypted and you phone can't access encrypted data until you unlock it after a reboot. So its kinda a catch 22 where you will always have to unlock with a pin after startup instead of fingerprint. Your fingerprint is biometric data and obviously can't be changed so it needs to more secure on your phone than your pin which you can change. It is this way on most phones with fingerprint readers.

It's not just LG, my Samsung S7 and Note 7 both required pin code on first log in after a reboot/boot up
It's part of Android now.

It's not even Android. My work phone is an iPhone and it has the same behavior. Which drives me nuts because our work phones require us to change pin codes every couple of months and we can't recycle codes.
I turned off secure startup as I don't need kids messing with my phone and I imagine after ten attempts if wipes it?

If I'm right, the op is taking about setting the fingerprint to unlock but it still requires the pattern. You will notice this if you use a third party app or launcher to lock screen. E.g. Nova launcher double tap to lock screen. It will tell you fingerprint is unavailable.
A work around to this is to doubly tap the top part of the screen (the bar where the date and signal strength is).
This will allow you to unlock with fingerprint.
If you use the stock lg launcher then double tapping anywhere on screen shows you to unlock using fingerprint.

I'm working with a developer of Screen Lock Pro to try and find a workaround for this. Currently his app will work on Android 5 and 6 by delaying the lock for 5-10 seconds but it's currently not working on Android 7 on LG (it is working on Pixel and Nexus devices).
Hmmm... Not sure I understand this behavior. My fingerprint is much more complex than a 4-digit code that can eventually be brute-forced (phone wipe or not - in theory I mean).. so why wouldn't my fingerprint be the top-most factor in unlocking the phone? I mean.. say I'm one of those guys that uses his last four of an SSN like an idiot, and someone knows that about me.. boom, they're in my phone. Do iPhones do this for real (as stated above)?

Yup, every time I restart my iPhone, it asks for my pin number and the finger print reader is inoperable. Even when I don't restart my iPhone for a while, it will occasionally lock out the reader and require a pin to wake.

Had to figure out where in the menus to dig through to find out who it is. (I seriously do not like how Apple sets their phones up.) Looks like it is AWMDM.

I always assume as much. Not really a bother for me. The iPhone is a work phone that I don't like carrying or touching. My personal phone is always my go to for anything unless it is work related.
I have this on my nexus 6p also. When ever i reboot the phone it requires me to use my pattern to unlock. It's a "feature" of sorts. Not going to go into my thoughts as to why but i think i may understand why they did that.
In case anyone is wondering, a few conditions that force you to use backup method are being left alone (with no smart locks enabled or active) for 4 hours, a reboot, and a failed scan 5 times in a row.
The reboot case is due to encrypted data (no matter what you do, your phone is encrypted on boot, unless you fix that, however, you phone will still treat it as such). The only reason I can imagine for the time out is in case a ninja chops off your fingers in your sleep. As for the wrong input, that seems annoying sure, but odds are if you got the fingerprint wrong 5 times in a row, it's not you.
Yeah v10 does this as well on fresh boot ups.
I'm not sure I understand the reason behind it I would think it would be less secure this way.

I'm not sure I'm following as to why encryption matters. Are you saying my fingerprint data is encrypted? If so, why isn't my PIN also encrypted?
Speaking of fingerprints has anyone run into the issue where the phone "forgets" your print? I have had this happen at random times and while the fingerprint data is still saved the phone fails to recognize my finger so I have to set it up again.

After a couple days of using my phone without a reboot I notice that it stops requiring unlock credentials such as my pin, iris or fingerprint. I will be able to swipe to unlock the phone and the security is completely removed.
Has anyone else noticed this? If I reboot the phone the security goes back to normal.
The only app I have that I think could cause this is BxAction to remap my bixby button to google now.
Under settings > security > smart lock there are options for keeping your phone unlocked in certain situations, e.g. in trusted places or when connected to a particular bluetooth, check to see if nothing is enabled there, and usually it locks after a reboot like you listed
Stupid question: have you enabled face recognition?
Did you set your screen lock to happen immediately or is it delayed?

Ok so I uninstalled bxactions to see if it was causing the problem. It appears it was not the culprit.
I currently have my phone setup to use iris, fingerprint and pin. It will work normally for approx one day.
Then all of a sudden it doesn't require my credentials to unlock. I have smart lock setup to not require credentials when connected to BT in my truck and when at the GPS location of my house. I'm currently sitting at work and it's swiping to unlock without reading my iris or fingerprint.
My lock delay is 5 seconds and auto when I press the lock button.
If I reset the phone it starts working normally again.
Now that I think about it I have a feeling its something to do with smart lock thinking I'm either still at home or that I'm still in my truck.
I'm having the same exact problem and I have the same exact setup as you! It started doing this a couple days ago. I have Smart Lock set to keep the phone unlocked when I'm at home (GPS coordinates) and when connected to bluetooth in my car. I got to school yesterday and noticed the phone wasn't requiring my irises or fingerprint anymore. I let it be for a little while to see if it would correct by itself and it didn't. I restarted the phone and that fixed it but it did it again this morning! It seems as though Smart Lock isn't registering I'm not at home or in my car. This is huge security flaw.

If others are having this issue then I agree as well this is a huge issue.
I just went home on my lunch break and the screen lock is still working normally. I connected to my truck when I was on my way home. I didnt pay attention if it was requiring any type of unlock when I was home.

I don't have that setting checked either. Just bt for car and gps for house. Not a huge deal for me personally because I'm pretty much always around people I trust but this really is a huge security flaw if it is happening to a lot of people.
Are you looking at the screen when swiping the lock screen? The iris recognition is actually very fast and you only see the alignment screen if it cannot immediately read your iris.

I haven't had it happen since the day after creating this post. I wonder if some Samsung apps were updating over night and causing the issue.

Weird how they would be linked. I did notice that my fingure print gestures stopped working the other day too. I turned the setting off and back on and it started working.
After several days of the phone working properly when I traveled out of town, it is doing this again. I am at school, which is not a location I am using for trust locations, and the phone is staying unlocked. This is honestly pretty ridiculous and needs to be addressed. The only thing I can think is that I am connected to the same wifi network at my apartment (campus housing that is off campus) and while on campus. Maybe the phone is thinking I'm still in the same location since the wifi networks are the same?

I just tried this as my screen lock isn't currently not working.it didn't make a difference having gestures turned on or off. I tried turning wifi and GPS on and off as well. Only way to get it to work again is reboot.
Is anyone else having issues with smart lock? I have my phone set to unlock with my fingerprints which works perfect, and I also have smart lock set to keep my phone unlocked at home. The problem is at least half of the time when I am at home I have to use my fingerprints to unlock my phone.

I always had this issue with smart lock. Give Bixby routines a try instead. It's been much more reliable when doing things based on location.

It's Smart Lock issue itself, not device specific. It literally never worked on my HTC 10, was spotty on HTC U11 and Tab S3, and is still spotty on S10+.
Google attempted to fix location problem in SL couple times already (they even disabled Trusted Places for short time) but to no avail.

Yup....Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Forces you to put your phone down to concentrate on other things with no distractions. Not sure I would ever use it myself and it would just be another app on my phone taking up space. I just put my phone down or turn it off if I really need to do something...Simple concept really.

From what I understand it disables everything but Camera and emergency calls.
you cant. You missing all the point of this app )))
I've tried Zen Mode this morning and found out it was unstable and bypass-able
- Notifications still come through to Ambient Display
- Can be bypassed if you use Oneplus Navigation Gesture. Just swipe it up and hold to access Recent App, and switch to another one. Alternatively, you can also access Recent Apps when the camera app is open. Launcher cannot be accessed though.
- You can even go as far as to Setting and force stop the Zen Mode app, but this does nothing; Zen mode is still on
- It loses count some times (timer freezes, although the countdown still going in background). Go to camera and go back may solve this
Well, that's why...
It's not stable on 6T yet.
If you have Google assistant enabled by holding down the power button, it will, at least in my experience, come up and you can tell it to open settings and disable it from there ??
