After the recent update I cannot use fingerprint unlock because of "security policy", I have to use pin or pattern instead. Any ideas ?? Thanks
Me too... Anybody?

Same here
Has anyone factory reset
This is a feature that has been added thats similar to ios. It only happens after a reboot. Then you can use fingerprints
Ok, just figured out one thing. When using an app to screen off, it asks for the password, but if I use the lateral button, it uses the fingerprint. So, the problem is with the app to screen off...

I can confirm this. Just installed Samsung's latest update for S7 and after that, if an app is used to lock the screen (e.g. Screen Off and Lock) the phone always requires pattern (or PIN or password) to unlock. Fingerprint recognition can be used only if the phone was locked by power button or time out. This is not a one-time event. It happens every time and won't go away until you stop using a screen locking app.

Yes this also happens to me. I have installed lots of different lock screen apps, all same problem.
Yes, I finally found the culprit... Nova Launcher "double tap gesture" to lock the screen requires Device Administration permission. If you toggle it on then the fingerprint unlock becomes unavailable. Thanks for all feedback !!
Yepp, I just got the update a few mins ago and this was the first thing I noticed. I'm a bit annoyed and I've found no fix.
I use Nova Launcher gesture for screen lock.
Same,.,
This is the reply i got... Check the attachments.. I guess we have to deal with it..?
Agg listening in on this, because I got the problem to. Bought Screen Lock Pro that worked on Nexus 6P, but settings crashed when trying to active the device administration part.
Damn! should have read this before updating.

Tried to uninstall and install in a desperate hope that would help and it does. Now I have an icon to lock the screen and fingerprints work. Only minor issue us that there is a 10 sec delay, but the screen turns off right away, so it doesn't seem like an issue.

I am having issues when using pattern lock & ya, power button text says "Restart" but it is actually "Shutdown"..
Guys, I gave up and installed Rocket rom v12, best move ever, no different from stock but it has all the bells n whistles, I backed everything up with my backup pro off the market.
I'm not a fan of the lockscreen effects on this phone. I have used the no effect options on my last 2 galaxy phones with no problems. However, on this phone when I select the no effect option it darkens my wallpaper to almost black. Any other effect and the wallpaper is bright like it should be. Has anyone else had this problem? I tried doing a couple factory resets, as soon as I change the wallpaper it happens.
That's normal unfortunately, I had to install go locker, I also hate the unlock effects....
That's unfortunate, I did find it only happens with pictures from my gallery which is weird haha. I'll have to look around for a new lock screen.

I downloaded go locker but it only installed itself as a second lockscreen. I still have to unlock the system lockscreen with my fingerpront before getting to the go locker lock screen. This makes it kind of pointless in my eyes? Am I missing something here?

Yes. I used it myself. Go play store, install the app hi locker. Check security setting in the app, enable fingerprint. Then set the time duration for how long you want the fingerprint to be awake.

Would it be possible to add this feature with xposed or just root? No developers are actually working on this?

Its easier to just press the home button as @zincsnow said. This will eat battery life since the S6 only has a 2700mah battery.

Yes, it's device independent. Sadly it doesn't work with screen off, unless you do the Tasker workaround.

OK dida bit of reading. Long press home button. When Google Now opens. Use slide out menu from left to right. Go onto settings and change Language to English US. Close to home screen. Then go into settings type Language in search bar. Change language to English US. When you exit to home screen and long press home button. Voila... Google Assistant.

Hi,
I have owned Find X2 Pro for about 3 weeks now. I have noticed that my notification is not appearing when the phone is locked. It only shows up when I unlocked my phone.
I know Oneplus also has this issue but can be fixed by disable battery optimization.
Is there any thing I should disable or enable in order to alert me when my phone is locked.?
Have you tried going in to Privacy<Lock Screen and then selecting show notifications

I was disappointed to discover there is no notification LED on this phone, so wanted to find a way to overcome that. I'm not sure it's exactly the same issue you've found, but maybe the solution is the same?
There are several ways to replicate the missing notification indicator, but the one I've been using since I got the Oppo is NotifyBuddy. Although there is a free version (link below), I quickly paid a small amount of money to unlock all its features. This means that notifications appear on my lock screen in the form of app icons - you can select the size, colour and which ones you want to show from a list of all your installed apps. I've set mine to blink on and off at one second intervals and for NotifyBuddy to not show any notifications when the phone is in Do Not Disturb mode. A double-tap brings up the lock-screen fingerprint sensor, so it's easy to open the phone without even picking it up.
This is my preferred set-up, but the program is very flexible. It does consume some battery power because I've set it to run in the background (which seems pretty essential to me) but the extra drain is very small.
You can get it from the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy&hl=en
Thank you John for your reply,
I do not think this will solve my issue nor the original posters issue. When the phone blinks out and goes into its hibernation state/lock screen state and has been idle for quite some time, no notifications come through until the phone has been picked up or woken up then all the notifications flood in. I have tried all sorts of things to get the notifications to work when the phone is in this state but it just does not work. However, if the always on display is on, all notifications work perfectly as the phone is not in that hibernation/resting state. I am not sure this app would help until this aspect is resolved, unless in your experience it has fixed the issue?

When the phone was in hibernation, I wasn't getting any notifications through either. The app I suggested solved this. Now I get notifications immediately, whatever the phone's state.

Also whilst I am thinking about this, supposedly lock screen magazine can impact notifications if it is turned off so I have enabled this too.
Cheers.
I thought I'd add a photo of my Oppo Find X2 Pro showing how notifications appear on my lock-screen whilst the phone is locked. This is thanks to the NotifyBuddy app which I've discussed earlier in this thread.
Sadly, I seem unable to embed the photo, so here's a link to it:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/john_gass/50301729781/in/dateposted-public/
It shows three simultaneous notifications... Twitter, WhatsApp and TypeApp (which is my preferred email app). The strange position of the icons is because I set up NotifyBuddy's ability to move the icons around to avoid any possibility of OLED screen burn-in.
And finally, I have no connection with this app except that I've been really pleased with it and feel it deserves a bit of promotion!

I am facing the same issue on my oppo reno 8, in my case sleep standby optimization is turned on, because of which I am not getting notifications on lock screen. Make sure you turn off sleep standby optimization. Settings>>Battery>>Advanced settings>>sleep standby optimization.
