Fingerprint lock not working after lollipop update - Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got the update recently on my verizon phone. I set up the fingerprint lock screen. It works a few times then just disappears and goes back to standard swipe to unlock. Anyone else have the same problem?

[Q] Camera Twist & Active Display Issues

Before I updated to the minor 4.2.2 update (something like 12.15.15), I could launch the camera app without waking my phone by just twisting (like what we see on the moto x commercial) the phone. After the update, I had to wake my phone up to use the twist gesture. Anyone having this issue?
A side note, my active display sometimes failed me in the middle of the night.

I have not had any issues with the twist to launch camera from sleep, I use it a lot.
When active display failed, did it cause a Force Close? it may have been a one time issue, if it reoccurs you could try clearing the cache for the active display app in Settings -> Manage Applications, or even your device cache (there is a guide on how to do this floating around here somewhere).

Are you using an app like lock screen policy to disable lock screen widgets?

Yup that was the issue, thanks. Disabled the camera also disabled that feature.

Ok so the camera issue is solved. But I found out I have some minor issues with the proximity sensor. Sometimes the active notification will not work when I moved the phone and it automatically sleeps (locks) when I use the phone. Lastly after making a call, the screen will not wake up and waking it via power button is ok. So my guess is that the proximity sensor issue, however rebooting the phone seems to solve the issue for a day or two.

Unlock animation after camera use

Hi all...
I have recently noticed that if i open the camera from the lock screen when i unlock the device, after that, the unlock animation is ultrafast, and not smooth as usual.
I have to reboot to get it back to normal.
Can anyone duplicate this behavior to see if it is "normal" ?
Tx...

Maybe the recent camera bug that Google has reported and is working on for the next update has something to do with what i have reported here...

Help! Get rid of lock screen app!

Hi guys
New to the forum.
I have been playing around with my car Bluetooth audio, trying to pair it up (was a nightmare). However I have noticed now that I have a second kind of lock screen? It's the little lock button on the bottom of the screen.
This stops me from using my finger print unless I swipe up to unlock, the first screen? To then gain access to Samsung's lock screen? It's so annoying! Can anyone tell me what it is and how I remove?
Thanks in advance

That is just an annoying aspect of the operating system. I hate it but there is no way to remove it.
I had same problem, the only way I could find to remove was to disable smart lock in settings.

any solution to this issue?
I'm no developer, but I would imagine it's being forced into "standard" portrait format by the in-call ui. If it's not reverting after the call, I would suggest simply toggling auto-rotate off then back on after the call.
