Is there such a thing as a fingerprint scanner lock screen for Android? I see tons of gag-apps on the Play Store, but nothing legit. Not sure if anyone has used one before.
Not yet... There is talk as the hardware in new phones are getting better and more geared to security.. Be wary of what you download in the app store.. Hope this helps....

It is touch screen- not a scan touch screen! In my opinion so it can't understand fingerprint

My touch screen some times becomes unresponsive after playing Home Run Battle and Plants vs. Zombies. Its only the touch that becomes unresponsive but my accelerometer still works. I have to restart the phone in order to fix it.

i had a lot of problems when i used advanced task killer on my phone similar to urs. If your using a task killer uninstall it and pull battery on phone then pop it in and boot up again see if it happens.
I definitely had this happen the other day. I wasn't playing any games and I don't have any task killers installed. I was in the middle of a text message when a call came through. I answered the call and then tried to resume my text but nothing was responding. I was still able to flip the phone sideways but I couldn't tap anything at all. I had to do a restart. That was frustrating and I hope it was a one time thing!
I found out that mine was a app called juice defender......it was messing mine up really bad.....uninstalled it and my phone responds....perfect now!!!!!

yeah a lot of people r complaining about hardware and software on HTC's side, but a lot of it has to do with these phones still being pretty new alot of devs havent had the time to make their apps fully compatible with our sensations
I had the same problem yesterday, everything but the screen working, however rather than rebooting, i found that i could pull the top bar down then back up and screen worked again
this is because phone is overheating and the screen gives problems.
I think another charger will resolve this problem or if its `SW problem, OTA will be released...

Your right. It only happens after my phone heats up from gaming for a while. It also happens when the phone is not on its charger.

I had the same problem (not those same games but in some apps and the security pattern lock). I just disabled the Tell HTC option and haven't had a problem since.
EDIT: Wait, when did PvZ come out for Android??

Awhile ago. It's on the Amazon Appstore.
My screen doesn't become unresponsive if I play PvZ, but if I play it for too long, Sense reloads when I exit out of the game.

Looking in the forums for something to do to fix the touchscreen being all buggy I disabled Tell HTC and that worked for me!

Now that i think about it, ever since i stopped using rosie my phone doesnt do this anymore.
OK guys I am on ICS 4.2F-6B on my skyrocket, the smart stay app will not open and says the beta testing is over...any ideas how I can get this to work? Also the screen keeps flashing no front camera detected, however the front camera works when I go into the camera. Why would this be flashing on the screen?
Sorry to be such a newbie, but I guess we all have to start somewhere!
Try this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?5wokm0nh8ym9vza
Seems the guy who made smart stay has it rigged to turn off on certain dates as a beta.
He has the lite and pro versions of it on the play store now

i just got it, but for some reason, i dont think its working. It could be user error too! I followed the directions, but the screen wont turn on or off when i put my eyes in front of it or move them away. isnt it supposed to turn on when it detects your eyes and off when it doesnt?

No this one is just for when your screen timeout time runs out, if it see's two eyes looking at it then it will keep the screen on.

haha, told you it was user error! Ok, that works!! Do you know if we will get one that operates like the g3?
Any idea on how to make it stop talking? It randomly tells me I'm adjusting setting or going back to the home screen. I believe it is this app doing it because the phones never done it before.
the app hasn't talked to me at all! It must be another app that is talking to you. that's weird though!

Did you get a different version of the app with a hidden talking feature? 'Cause then, I want a refund.
Most likely it's your voice app or Talkback from your Settings >> Accessibility.
This application is over. The lite version is free to test over the market. But it doesn't work with low light. The best application for me is Sceeble and it's also free on Play Store. It works with the sensor.

is "SCEEBLE" that you suggested spelled right, because i can't find it on the Play Store.
It's SCREEBL without E at the end of the word. Download from the market it works perfectly and it's free.

I recently installed the eBay app, and have immediately noticed a thumb bar thing at the bottom of the screen. Pics are below. I highly doubt it's from eBay.
I've had the same apps on my phone that I've had previously on the Nexus 4, and never saw this. Even with eBay installed. I have to reboot the phone to get rid of it.
Any ideas?

I found out. An app I had updated security for the Galaxy S5's finger print scanning, and is leaving a bar on non Galaxy devices. Sheesh....

I had this too, a reboot fixed it. I thought I was going crazy.
Edit: I checked my running processes and it turns out to be lastpass at fault. There was a floating fingerprint overlay process I had to kill since it just returned.

Yeah, LastPass just added S5 fingerprint support, looks like it leaked to other devices, might want to file a bug report.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that it was the lastpass app. I hope this bug doesn't become common when apps update for finger print scanning tech.

Gave it a go yesterday, thing is legit and works pretty well too.
I haven't noticed any battery drain to be honest, if there was any, it was so dang minimal that I didn't notice it.
Great app, a shame that the wake function no longer works though...

What is stopping you from just running the previous version if you like that feature? Google easyHome for Samsung 1.10 if you need a copy. I use fingerprint lock so that feature doesn't work for me.

//Never mind, found it thanks!
Really missed the feature....
I think it's great
The most recent update has made a great app even better. It seems faster and even more accurate now.
Great app but android keeps disabling it. Very frustrating!

Anyone using easy home app and have experience with the pro version. For those who don't know the app turns you home key into a capacitive button rather then a physical button. I don't know for sure but I've read that it supports the N5, S6, S6E, and S6E+. I have also read about N4, and S5 users using it. I really like the app and it works well. I really missed my OnePlus 2 home button.

Did you know that if you use the app you described you will no longer be able to
use the fingerprint security function unless you uninstall the app or totally disable it.
Good luck,
Have a Happy Merry Christmas.

I'm not quite sure I understand. When I try to bypass my lockscreen with any other fingers then I have setup in the fingerprint settings it will not unlock and prompts me to enter a backup password. So I'm not sure if they have fixed thas issue but lockscreen fingerprint login and last pass fingerprint login seem to be working fine for me.

You are 100% wrong and shouldn't mislead other people. I've been using the app since it was posted a few months ago by @Jawomo it works exactly as it should. I've been using it everyday for months with my fingerprint unlock and have never had a failed unlock.

It was really hit or miss for me. I only tried it for a few minutes, but it felt like it didn't work 100% of the time. I'll give it another shot.
