Hi all,
I've always used the application "Screen off and lock" to quickly turn off my Z5 without pressing the side lock button. My button works fine I just find this to be quicker.
However now with marshmallow after I lock the phone using the application, when I wake it up again it won't unlock with my fingerprint, it forces me to unlock the phone with with my pin. It vibrates as if my fingerprint is accepted, but it won't unlock beyond the pin screen.
If I lock the phone normally by pressing the side lock button it will unlock with my fingerprint like normal.
I've tried multiple applications that do the same thing and have made sure to give them the lock permission but I keep running into the same pin screen issue.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Don't use the fingerprint icon, it locks your phone so it requires pin to unlock, you can slide to unlock as previously, or just use the power button to lock screen, then you can unlock with the fingerprint sensor with exception of first boot where you are forced to use pin first time unlock.
Don't quite understand maybe what you are trying to explain, to wake phone you have to push the button, IMO it is faster to just hold your thumb there for a second longer for unlock. Also not sure this is a bug

So when I use this application
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en
to lock my Z5, when I wake it back up it won't unlock with my fingerprint it keeps asking for my pin.
But when I lock it with the lock button then wake it up it accepts my fingerprint instantly.

Sorry now I am with you, same issue here. Although it would seem the app is not compatible with the 6.0 fingerprint framework, because it doesn't work on pretty much any phone from what I can tell
same here.. i guess it's a bug and we need to wait for the next update that includes Stamina Mode perhaps?
Also for me it's a bug. With lock screen program the fingerprint sensor does not unlock the phone. The fingerprint sensor works only with using a button lock.
I face the same issue with Tasker and Nova Launcher. Worked fine on 5.1.1.
me too
+1 for me too

There's a ticket in Google Android about this, it's the same in Nexus phones. You have workarounds if rooted.
all screen lock apps are not compatible with Marshmallow yet - it requires to use the back up pin/pattern after using the fingerprint . Though, if you uninstall the app - the fingerprint will work without using the pin anymore T_T
I use gravitybox shortcut to sleep the phone. It work.

I have the s6 non edge and have setup fingerprint unlock and my Wi-Fi at home and my pebble are setup as trusted devices. But every time I want to unlock the phone, I first have to wipe up at the loch screen and then I have to unlock via fingerprint. Is it possible to setup the phone so I don't have to wipe up first?
Thanks
You mean when you have the fingerprint setup as a login option you have to swipe up first?
When I setup fingerprint as an unlock setting all I had to do what unlock the phone and put my finger on the sensor, I dont have to wipe up or anything.

So here is the gist. When using fingerprint and trusted devices, when the lockscreen comes up, dont swipe the lock symbol. Swipe anywhere else on the screen and no fingerprint needed.

:good::good::good:
Thank you very much for this info! - I was so used to swipe my finger for unlocking that I overlooked the Lock Icon at the bottom of the screen.
If you want to lock your Device again just swipe the Lock Icon that appears while your phone is unlocked via the Trusted Device.
Note: This is also working on S5 an S5+ Devices!
Thank you!'! This has been driving me crazy on my S6 edge +. How unintuitive, but you are right. ???

I can open my phone by the fingerprint scanner and open encrypted apps but I can't lock the phone using the fingerprint scanner. Purchased the phone yesterday.
Lock the phone? As in locking the device? I'm sorry AFAIK, the oppo r7 plus does not have that feature. If the unlocking and app encryption are working like it is suppose to, then there is no problem with your phone.
lock it by pressing the power button as normal or you can double tap the home button to lock the device - need to be set in Gestures settings first.
Is there any way to use the fingerprint scanner to wake the screen without having to enter a PIN?
Yes, it's like that by default. Just put your finger on the scanner and it will unlock while waking from sleep.

If you switch off the screen with screen lock app, then you have to put pin

I'd like to use the screen without lock or pin and just to wake it up when I touch the fingerprint scanner without having to enter a PIN. Is that possible?

That's the default setting.
You shouldn't need the PIN if the screen has simply timed out.

How do I set it up so that I don't need to enter a PIN every time I wake the screen?
As it is, when I enter/enroll my fingerprint, I have to assign a PIN as well. Then, every time I wake the screen, it also asks me for a PIN.
I'd like to be able to pick up the phone in the morning, touch the fingerprint sensor and unlock the phone without having to also enter a PIN.
It looks like there is timeout. If you just turn off and then use fingerprint, so phone will ask pin. But if phone went to sleep, you do not have to use pin, just finger.
My device only asks for the PIN after a reboot, otherwise the fingerprint will suffice.
Just like mine.
Yeaaaaaaaaah wtf? Did you set your phone to automatically power off and power on on a certain schedule? Because literally every Android phone that uses fingerprint unlock only requires pin or pass if phone was rebooted and only that once until you reboot again

Not exactly. The default doesn't include a fingerprint-wake option. I'm asking if it's possible to use the fingerprint sensor to wake the device without having to enter a pin.

I just set it up and entered my fingerprint and it asks me for a pin. Now, whenever I use the power button to lock the screen, it asks me for my pin instead of just waking up from scanner.

Do you know what you are asking?
That's the default unlock option,you can unlock the phone with ur fingerprint without the need of pin.
The pin is only needed once you reboot the phone.
Very weird man. I'm thinking something in your settings is causing that

Okay. Mine's not working that way. Not sure why.
Check ur settings.
I think it has something to do with the Nova setting "Double tap" to sleep the screen. I disabled this and it works.
Good that you found the culprit.

In Settings / Fingerprint ID / Fingerprint Management (you will need your PIN here) is Unlock Screen set to On (blue with the circle on the right)?
Do you mean "wake" as in when you have put it to sleep by a short press on the power button, or by letting the screen timeout. Done that way, the default will unlock the phone by fingerprint - if you have set fingerprint as an option and enrolled at least one (and use that one)!
edit: I have just tried an app called Gravity Lock so that if I put my phone face down it would lock the screen. The problem with it is that it meant I had to use the PIN to unlock the phone, as the fingerprint was prevented by the app. I've uninstalled it (had to do that from with in the app) and the phone is back to unlocking by fingerprint.
Or do you mean "Start" which is when you have to reboot the phone having long pressed on the power button, and then chosen "Power Off" followed by "Power off". Can't think why you'd do that. That way, it takes appreciably longer to start and you get the Huawei logo and animations. After this, you'll need your PIN.

It seems the problem was using Nova's gesture double-tap to sleep the screen. When I disabled that, it works as it should.
Hi guys. As the title says, it would be great to not have to use the power button at all to unlock and lock the device again and again.
Now obviously to unlock it, all i have to do is touch the fingerprint scanner.
And to lock it again i have tried apps from store and though those do the job and lock the device but then phone doesn't unlock by fingerprint scanner and it just wakes up and asks for pin to unlock.
Kindly help out.
I am kinda spoiled by knock On/Off feature on LG G4 and never used the power button on that thing.

You must use finger sensor to unlock and circle to lock. No other way. Huawei don't have double click lock/unlock. Bad thing. I see to another phone.
What if you try lock widget (chinese version & I'm not sure if it includes in international or European versions)
Use fingerprint quick action
Lock widgets require admin permission to work and if you lock with widget then fingerprint scanner takes you to pin code screen instead of unlocking the device.

Juat tested with Nova Prime and configured the double tap to turn off the screen.
But that also required admin access and after turning off screen that way, fingerprint scanner brings me to pincode screen again instead of completely unlocking the device.

Double tap Mate 9 not have. Bad. Lock widget not have international version. Only circle, but you must double clock on this quick tool to lock. Mate 9 not have user friendly features like my old G2, G4 or Z11. Mate 9 have only big price. ,)
try using this software from play store. it work very well on my mate 9
Using screen lock app.
Clicking on the icon turns off the screen and lock the phone just fine.
But then when you use fingerprint to unlock, it'll take you to this screen instead.

how to install this floating dock? i hope so without root or custom rom, i dont want to void my warranty @gull_s_777

I saw this "floating dock" on my set too, and it's come with stock ROM.
Some detail can find in this website:
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/140...-tricks-take-charge-of-your-mate-9-p9-honor-8
I use Nova Launcher gestures together with Anywhere Launcher to allow me to turn off and lock my screen using a downward swipe from the upper left corner of the screen in any app. It's very convenient.
I'm on C636B188 and that includes the screen lock widget, so you can use that.
Originally, I thought I would prefer it to the floating dock, but after getting used to the dock I like it more because you can access it from anywhere, not just the home screen.
The "Custom Navigation Bar" app has that functionality.
You can add an extra button on the navbar to put the phone to sleep instantly and unlock your device with fingerprint sensor.
I don't know if any other app of such kind.
At least I have this Screen Lock widget directly on my phone. Fingerprint opens the lock just fine after locking it with this widget.
You can use a Nova gesture to lock the screen, but don't use Nova's Screen Lock action in the first tab. Instead, swipe to the last tab on the right ("Shortcuts"), and look for Screen Lock there.
Unfortunately, though, this no longer seems to work on Oreo. Whenever, I try to select the Screen Lock shortcut, I get a message saying 'App isn't installed.' I have a feeling it has something to do with the fact that they replaced the Floating Dock with the Navigation Dock.
i just update the stock firmware, yes, the latest stock 188 rom has built in widgt for turn off the screen. it is very handy.

I have a Huawei Nova 2i & was looking for the same. Go to Smart Assistance & activate Floating Dock.
I use SMART LOCK and FINGERPRINT scanner but even when my screen says it's unlocked by smart lock I still have to swipe up to get to my home screen. Is there any way around this? I was afraid I was going to miss the rear finger print scanner that would just instantly get me to my home screen after picking up my phone correctly. Thanks
I think the only way to do that is with facial recognition. I know there's an option for that security to unlock/swipe the screen after it recognizes your face.

I didn't setup smart lock yet, but I do have fingerprint setup. When screen is black, I put my registered finger to the right spot and phone unlocks and goes to home screen
There's an option for face unlock
For smart unlock, I'm afraid that that's not possible since that swiping is the only thing protecting your phone to be accidentally while walking/running or whatever you are doing those moments.
This can be done with Face Unlock

You can also set up "Unlock with S Pen remote" - pressing the S pen button will turn the phone on and bring the last screen you visited.
