Fingerprint unlock probem / question

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.

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. ???

Fingerprint scanner problem

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.

Screen off and lock PIN Bug

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.

Fingerprint unlock does not work

Hello,
I always have to press the powerbutton first, before I can unlock the phone via the fingerprint sensor.
Is that normal?

yes, thats how it works on sony phones ... and i must say i like it, because of accidental touches i used to have on nexus 6p

If you are using tap to wake you don't have to press power button just put your finger on fingerprint scanner

doesnt work. Still have to press the power button first.
By the way...tap to wake up does not work on the XZ like it should: https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-XZ/Double-tap-to-wake-not-working-properly/td-p/1168519

People are so lazy that they can't even press a button nowadays.

yup, but he is right tap to wake is little off on xz( this feature worked fine on g3) and after awakening screen it should be possible to unlock it by touching fingerprint scanner

Once the screen is on, just touching the sensor unlocks for me.

Yes, this works. I am coming from a HTC 10 and here things are different.

If it helps, check out Gravity Screen, which can mimic Ambient Display-like functionality by waking up the notification screen via either proximity sensor or motion or a whole bunch of other stuff. Personally, I only use proximity sensor so the phone wakes up as I take it out of the pocket, then I just have to tap the sensor to unlock.

raise to wake

raise to wake feature ? like oppo does

What?

is this feature possible in oneplus 6 ??

I am asking myself the same question. On Xiaomi mi 8 and others, you have the option to lift the phone and wake it, and without presing any buttons face unlock kicks in, and unlocks the phone instantly. On OP6 you must press the power button so the face unlock kisks in. Is the xiaomi way to unlock possible on OP6.? Anyone...

yep ... just install Port of miui10 ROM

its much buggy

There is a option to double tap to open.

Yes, the OP6 has a lift to wake feature out of the box.

Lift 2 wake? No, it only Shows the Ambient screen

If u want u can try gravity screen app, it has function to switch screen on by motion, and this may help you

Oh, you mean waking up the lockscreen ! My bad.
Double tap to wake does this, though !
