Trusted devices and places on lollipop - what is the point? !

Okay, so I'm running lollipop on my galaxy S5 and after connecting my bluetooth headphones it asked me if I wanted to add them as trusted?
So, as I trust them, I said yes.
After that, whenever I locked my phone using the fingerprint lock I would instead get a swipe lock screen instead. Swiping it would then take me to my normal fingerprint lock screen.
So, instead of one lockscreen I would have to unlock two!
What the hell is the point of that?
Am I missing something?

[Q] Mod Fingerprint

Is there a mod or app that lets you use the fingerprint just by touching the sensor? (No need to slide your finger across the sensor)

there's not way because is another type of sensor in s5.

Not possible in S5
It is not possible in S5 because of the way its fingerprint sensor is built. Scanner has to scan entire fingerprint to authorize access.

just flash twrp and it will boot

Unlock my S7 without click on the home button

I know the Problem you are facing,
That's because the readers on Other phones like one's you mentioned are having an Active Fingerprint Reader which is always scanning your print even on Screen Stand-By
Samsung phones on other hand have a Passive Fingerprint Reader that gets activated by the press of the button only and so it wont scan the fingerprint until the screen is activated by any means - either you press the home button of Activate the screen by Edge Feed (swipe Up and Down on Edge)
This is a Tad Bit of less convenient because of Passiveness but it has important safety precautions like
1) phone does not get opened up if you accidentally touch the sensor in pocket
2) press is better because you can feel the pressure and know if someone pranks you while you are sleeping
3) fingerprint reader uses less ram and less battery because of being inactive most of the time
"But I do Confess that Samsung Phone's Fingerprint Sensors are Slow Compared to Many Other Phones even if we Test While screen of on"

I've got the LED case for the phone, when i flip it open i just hold my finger over the sensor.
Unlocked without pressing buttons

Thans for all the answer
I understand now

Fingerprint Usage without System Lock?

I hate the stock Lockscreen. Always been one of the poor designs aspects of Android. I'm actually on an LG G6 right now and SO frustrated that you can't setup a fingerprint without enabling the System Lock Screen. Some 3rd party screens (MS Next, Hi Locker, etc) support fingerprint unlock but you can't use them without also enabling system lock screen. Argh!!
I'm still within 14 days so thinking of returning G6 and getting an S8+.
So I'm trying to find out if the system lock screen requirement when setting up a fingerprint is a Marshmellow feature or a G6 feature. Can you disable the system lock screen on the S8 WITHOUT deleting the registered fingerprint ?

Biometric sensors are sleeping?

Hello, I'm very disappointed with the fingerprint sensor and the face unlock:
when I try to unlock my device after some time, the fingerprint is very slow, also the camera is revealing after 1 or 2 secs after the swipe. But if I unlock - lock - unlock again both methods are fast like they should be.
I think there is something putting them in stand-by to prevend battery drain, but is very very very very annoying and frustrating.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks!
