Ive noticed that since the ICS update for the XOOM i can only set pattern for my lock screen. I cannot set up a PIN password or the highly talked about "Facial recognition". Is this the same for everyone or just me?
The steps I took: settings> security> screen lock
once i click on screen lock it just ask me to create a new pattern. Not change to pin or facial recognition.
Are you talking about the official update? Because if memory serves, I believe I read that the official update does not have face unlock in it right now.

Thanks so far!

With Secure Settings (and Tasker) it will do pattern lock. I am doing this. The only difference between KK and L with secure settings is you have to go into the spanner icon > Pattern unlock method [4.1+] > Lock Settings (Experimental)

One thing I've had a few times though, if im locked then come in range of WiFi, it is still locked and the pattern doesn't unlock it, so I've had to turn the screen off and on again

I read somewhere (can't recall where) that, that is supposed to happen. You have to unlock first with pin/pattern then it should take affect but I too have only had this happen a couple times. The rest of the times it just simply unlocks.

Hmm. With the new experimental feature you mean?
But what I mean is it is broken sometimes. Doesn't accept the pattern. It shows the pattern path as correct and just hangs there, not unlocking, until I off and on the screen.
use the new play service apk and set location

I have the same issue. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I give up sometimes and just enter it manually.

Do you have Secure Settings?
And in secure setting do you have System+ Module enabled and set up as Device Admin?
What me and @rootSU were talking about is just a, you can say a bug, where the pattern is complete but it just hangs to unlock.You can see the pattern (Which I think sucks because someone else can see if you just leave your phone on that screen) but it just stays there. You lock your phone again and upon swiping the regular slide lock, there shouldn't be any prompt anymore and it should work fine after that.
I know using Tasker alone cause a lot of error like not disabling lock screen at all and just a blank screen sometimes.

When I use the Nova double tap gesture to lock the screen (using Greenify, Screen Off and Lock or Screen Off), I have to type in my pin to open the phone (it won't let me only use the fingerprint scanner). When I shut off the screen via the power button the fingerprint scanner is all that's needed . Do you guys know of a work around to use DT2S while being able to still use the fingerprint scanner to reawaken the phone?

Mine is working with Nova, you don't need Screen Off anymore, it's built into Nova for awhile now.
I noticed that but I still have to enter the pin after diuble tspping even though fingerprint is enabled. Weird.

same here, kinda sucks that I have to keep entering the pin
I'm using swipe up gesture to screen off. Fingerprint unlock is working
Same here. It works but I have to put in my pin after fingerprint.

same maybe it's something that we disabled that broke something?
So I had the same thing. Its actually greenify. Took me a while to figure it out because i was in the same boat. Uninstall that and try the built in app control. I'll still throw down between 5-6 hours screen time without greenify
I use the same exact setup and my fingerprint scanner works perfect.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk
It says when you use this why it does it, you'll need root to get around this issue and enable root mode in Nova Settings.
that doesn't make any sense. mine works completely fine by doing this. I never turn it off using the power button and I always unlock it with the scanner.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk
I tried it again with Greenify and the other double tap to lock apps uninstalled and set Nova to use its own lock device setting yet I still have to enter my pin when turning on the screen using the fingerprint scanner. It's bizarre.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
I have the same problem. Galaxy S7 + Greenify or Screen OFF, every time I have to enter the PIN too. It is very annoying. I hate to use the side button to shut off the screen, I need one of these apps to work properly with the fingerprint scanner.
same here, have to use the pattern after Nova's double tap lock.
I think the issue shows up if you are also using Smart Lock. I installed Screen Lock Pro and use it in the Nova gestures for double tap and it works great.

Screen Lock Pro does not require your password after fingerprint? I tried two different lock screen utilities and both still required my password.

Correct. There is an option you need to select that I should have mentioned. Smart lock and Nexus imprint must be selected and then it will work. You do need the pro version.
Back on my G3 with Nova I had this same issue when I enabled Smart Lock. I also tried many apps and could not find one that worked. Glad someone on Reddit posted this solution

Thank you, it finally works. :good: Screen Lock Pro with Smart lock enabled is the solution.
As the title implies, I can never get my phone to unlock via the fingerprint scanner. I have 2 fingerprints set up and everything in the settings is turned on and configured, but when I'm actually on the lock screen it tells me is unable to use fingerprints and to use my knock code.
Am I the only one having this issue?

Mine has worked great. One suggestion would be to setup another fingerprint but use one the same fingers you already did. For example, I use my left index finger to unlock so I added another fingerprint, but used that same finger and tried to completely use a different side of the finger while setting it up. This way the scanner has more of a surface area to read and unlock with.
I just tried that. I added 2 more fingerprints from the same fingers as you suggested. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
As soon as I press the power button to turn on the screen, the dialog pops up saying unable use fingerprints. Please try the knock code.

Try setting it up with a pattern lock instead of a knock code. That worked for someone else who had the same issue

Have you tried completely starting over with the fingerprints? The few times where it didnt read my print I got at least 3 or 4 attempts before it told me to use knock code, so thats weird.

I'm actually using nova launcher myself. After following the steps listed from a previous poster, i have had no issues at all. it took a few times, but then it started working and I haven't had any issues since.

I just had to delete my fingerprints once and it worked. I did it with the pattern lock

It's been happening to me occasionally also. If I go into settings and turn it off and back on it starts working again. But then I have to do it all over again within an hour.

Yep, that's similar to what I'm experiencing. Are you using the setting in gestures, or the setting in display > ambient display?

I'm on the TMobile 7 Pro, have an update to 9.5.5.
Neither Double Tap to Wake... Nor Single Tap to Show in Ambient Display.. Not any other Quick Gestures like Draw O for Camera and all.. Nothing is Working... Is there a fault with the device or Software Update??

Simple answer for now, try factory reset, no ideal but then we can try something else
Hope not having any issues with on screen /off screen gesture as I'm using quite offen every day and really one of my favorite feature.
On Vivo smartphone I'm having one year now it's working brilliantly so far, hope OP the same excellent results as Vivo.
It would be totally frustrating if had any kind issues with 7 Pro gestures.

That's not good for a brand new phone out of box...
I'm having the same problem. Clearing the cache in recovery does nothing. I think it may be related to ambient light. Screen off gestures seem to work much better in well lit areas.
I've not had any issues at all since Tuesday when I got the device. Try booting into the recovery and wiping the cache. Could save you some trouble?
A factory reset resolved it for me.

i am facing same problems as you have been nothing works double tap to wake and single tap to show as well as draw patterns for apps nothing works. i have tried wiping cache and factory reseted it too once. i think its a software issue i hope they fix it soon
People apparently can not read. The OP just said factory reset worked just fine and people still keep saying the same things. SMMFH So unless you tried factory reset... no point in continuing to frakin post
So I have had OP7P Since Wednesday and I started to notice these problems about 6 hours in. Problems occurred prior to accepting the Out of Box update, after the update, after a factory reset. Restarting/Shut Down does not resolve the problem.
Lose of functionality are;
Double Tap to Wake
Ambient Display/Single Tap to Wake/New Notification
Gestures
Coming from the OP6T the solution previously that worked was to;
Settings->Apps->See All Apps->Menu (Shows System Apps)->Ambient Display->Storage->Clear Cache->Restart Phone
This solved the problem for about several hours. Going back into display setting and toggling Double Tap to Wake a couple of times sometimes restored functionality.
I have noticed that if my phone is in my pocket for some time and when I pull it out it won't respond. It feels like it has to think about whether it is still in my pocket or not. The times that it stopped working I've had to set my phone on a table or flat surface for about a minute or 2 and then pick it up. Thats when things will function as intended.
I have so far factory reset twice already and while it does solve it then and there the issue will arise again.
As for me it was working without any problem since the day I bought the phone but 9.5.9 broke it. Now I cannot make it work. I've tried xXX rom as well as Smurf Kernel and both didn't help.
Reverting back to 9.5.8 solved the problem... waiting for 9.5.9 FIX.
Tap to wake stopped working after the last update....
