So on 4.4.4 when I used face unlock I would get a circle to see my face and it would unlock the phone, if it was to dark for my face then the PIN pad would appear.
Now on 5.0.1 I get the PIN pad first with no area to see my face. I can hit the back nav button on the PIN screen and get to the unlock screen and if it had seen my face it unlocks, other wise its back to the PIN screen. Seems overly annoying compared to the way 4.4.4 ran facial unlock.
Am I doing something wrong??????
In lolipop it will try to see your face without anything appearing on the screen .. then if it successfully find your face, your device will be unlocked automatically
U can see face icon in the lock screen and if it successfully unlocked, u can pull the lock to unlock the device without entering the password
Correct but on 4.4.4 it required no screen interaction to unlock with my face. On 5.0.1 I still have to back out of the PIN screen and swipe up to unlock.
Homonyms... "your" doing in wrong.

Hey Guys..
huge fan of the new face unlock. But I noticed if I lock the phone with Llama or Tasker or automatically with Gravity Screen, face unlock wont work anymore.
Only locking it with the power button or waiting for the sleep time supposedly trigers it.
Gravity Screen locks the phone but when the lockscreen apears the phone is not looking for my face and I have to unlock it with my pattern.
Anyone an idea what to do?
I need the abillity to lock the phone with Llama and Gravity Screen more than face unlock but I hope someone has an idea
Hi all,
I have a very strange issue since today. I used the fingerprint to lock/unlock my device which worked very nice; until today.
If I place my finger onto the home button it will not unlock the S6 anymore! But, I can unlock it easily just swipe my finger over the screen. Seems there is no protection anymore. I changed the settings to unlock with pin, but here the same issue. The S6 don't ask me for a pin and I can unlock it by just swipe my finger over the screen.
If I restart the phone, it will ask me the first time for pin/fingerprint. But after the first unlock it is unlocked like above.
Any body else with this issue?
BTW, the home button feels a little loose since todat too, but the issue is also by pin unlock etc.
Can anyone confirm whether this happens to them. I have fingerprint lock with either a pin or pattern as backup.
If on the lockscreen I swipe the screen rather than use the fingerprint lock the pin/pattern screen comes up with the blurb "Use Fingerprint or draw unlock pattern" However when i then put my finger on the scanner it doesn't register, its as if i haven't put my finger on the button. The only way I can access is via inputting pattern/pin. Once i have done this i can repeat by locking the screen and swiping and the reader registers.
However if i leave the phone for 10-15 minutes it then goes back to not registering the fingerprint on the pin/pattern screen again?
Anyone else getting this?
Getting the exact same issue on the Galaxy S7Edge with Australian firmware, and it completely ruins the usefulness of the fingerprint unlock method.
It's definitely a bug in the software - a few people have already experienced the exact same issue we have encountered over at:

Hopefully Samsung are at least aware of the issue and can patch it..
I had something called lock screen launcher or something like that I did uninstall it and it was normal again

After rebooting, I am not able to unlock my phone.
- The pattern unlocking screen appears
- I type the correct pattern
- The screen gets black for 2-3 seconds
- The pattern unlocking screen appears again..
It always says: Your phone has been restarted and must be unlocked with your pattern. You can use your fingerprint to unlock next time.
But I unlock it with the correct pattern and this message with the pattern unlock screen appears again and again ... I cannot get to my home screen.
I have Android 8.0, Stock Rom, not rooted. On my Galaxy S8+
Can anyone help me?
try to restart your phone.
its happened to me and i am just restarted the phone and its worked.
Hi all,
somebody can me explain why can I wake up sometimes the phone at lock screen without any adjusted security mode?
I mean sometimes if I push the ON button and comes up the lock screen, then I scroll up the screen, the phone is suddenly logged in, I see the home screen. Although I removed before the face unlock mode, or adjusted the pattern mode and the fingerprint mode. Example sometimes if the face unlock mode is on, and my friend get my phone, he can go to the home screen also without any security control, just with the swipe up at lock screen.
I tried to remove the face unlock mode, and turn on just the PIN instead of pattern, but it's no matter.
But sometimes the security identifications comes up (pattern or PIN).
Why does this work so?
Solved.
Can be delete the thread.
The problem was in the smart lock?
