If i have the screen turned off for a couple of minutes and i press home screen it will ask for pin and not fingerprint,is this a bug? ,can it be fixed?
It's very frustrating and i don't know what to do,i did not have this problem in S6.

You are using a different launcher, right? Its normal if that's the case.
Default luncher not rooted, it ssk for pin if turned offby power button and start it by home button.. Very frustrating

Have seen this issue before, usually caused by a third party app. Boot in safe mode to see if issue persists.
Yes thanks, screen off and lock was the problem

i've been having this problem with almost all the keylock applications i've installed!
the display keeps on getting activated by itself and refuses to go into sleep mode! and if it goes into sleep mode, i'll have overlap lock screen which consist of the stock lock from X10 and the lock app i've installed..
was wondering whether any of the users here facing the same problem or not and if so, how am i suppose to get rid of the problem?

When you say activated by itself, do u mean u haven't touched any buttons (even accidentally) ?

Sounds like a task killer problem.

will try it again with task killer disabled..
if its LockBot you are using its a known issue on the X10, if not using LockBot chances are its the same issue as you get with lockbot were you end up with multiple lock screens.
I use goto v1.20 Now and this is the first lock which actually is usable on the x10.
With lock bot I had the problem I couldn't use the notification bar anymore and with others I had double lock screens which is annoying as hell...

I've found the best lockscreen for Android: Temporary Phone Lock. When my boss enters the room, he sometimes grabs my phone just to piss me off and he goes through my pictures etc. Now that I have installed this app he is out of luck To unlock is very fast and not irritating at all. Also the standard lockscreen sometimes onlocks in my phone and starts to dail random numbers, also fixed that problem with this tool. Highly recommended! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SocialMediaKickstart.TemporaryPhoneLockTrial
What makes it the best? Can you put widgets on the lock screen? And why would you use this instead of say the android lock screen when you can still use a number password in the android one????

You've got a terrible boss, he isn't allowed to do that.

So this app is to quickly toggle the lock screen? That way you can disable it when no one is around and then quickly enable in public?

I have started suddenly getting old android type swype lockscreen with SOS BUTTON in center. I never opened SOS settings. On checking sos settings it is off. Anyone how to remove this lockscreen?

Solved, app for free insurance offered by Samsung was causing lockscreen. Uninstalling solved it

A Better Fix
Found out that i really do not have to uninstall the app (appsdaily) in my case.
Instead,
1. Click on the app.
2. Click on Protection Tab
3. Scroll down and click on SOS tab to turn it off.
Lock & try unlocking..
Yeah there U go.. no more sos crap on the lock screen..
Cheers...
Thanks @NewBee029 . I was struggling to find a way to remove it.
When I use the Nova double tap gesture to lock the screen (using Greenify, Screen Off and Lock or Screen Off), I have to type in my pin to open the phone (it won't let me only use the fingerprint scanner). When I shut off the screen via the power button the fingerprint scanner is all that's needed . Do you guys know of a work around to use DT2S while being able to still use the fingerprint scanner to reawaken the phone?

Mine is working with Nova, you don't need Screen Off anymore, it's built into Nova for awhile now.
I noticed that but I still have to enter the pin after diuble tspping even though fingerprint is enabled. Weird.

same here, kinda sucks that I have to keep entering the pin
I'm using swipe up gesture to screen off. Fingerprint unlock is working
Same here. It works but I have to put in my pin after fingerprint.

same maybe it's something that we disabled that broke something?
So I had the same thing. Its actually greenify. Took me a while to figure it out because i was in the same boat. Uninstall that and try the built in app control. I'll still throw down between 5-6 hours screen time without greenify
I use the same exact setup and my fingerprint scanner works perfect.

It says when you use this why it does it, you'll need root to get around this issue and enable root mode in Nova Settings.
that doesn't make any sense. mine works completely fine by doing this. I never turn it off using the power button and I always unlock it with the scanner.

I tried it again with Greenify and the other double tap to lock apps uninstalled and set Nova to use its own lock device setting yet I still have to enter my pin when turning on the screen using the fingerprint scanner. It's bizarre.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
I have the same problem. Galaxy S7 + Greenify or Screen OFF, every time I have to enter the PIN too. It is very annoying. I hate to use the side button to shut off the screen, I need one of these apps to work properly with the fingerprint scanner.
same here, have to use the pattern after Nova's double tap lock.
I think the issue shows up if you are also using Smart Lock. I installed Screen Lock Pro and use it in the Nova gestures for double tap and it works great.

Screen Lock Pro does not require your password after fingerprint? I tried two different lock screen utilities and both still required my password.

Correct. There is an option you need to select that I should have mentioned. Smart lock and Nexus imprint must be selected and then it will work. You do need the pro version.
Back on my G3 with Nova I had this same issue when I enabled Smart Lock. I also tried many apps and could not find one that worked. Glad someone on Reddit posted this solution

Normaly You have toggle quick settings always. It works evean lock screen is on. Wi-fi, bluetooth need pin to disable on lockscreen, but 3g data or flymode work wthout pin. So if somone stol my phone, i cant track him.

Good point! But it would be also nice to disable turn off or restart.
But I guess volume down + power button will always work. How iPhone deals with this kind of situation?

IPhone has icloud activation lock, if the phone is registered to someone's account and you steal it and format it when going through setup it asks for the owners icloud details and won't move on from that

The question here is there anyway to keep the phone alive so you can track it as far as the battery goes. No way to shut it down or turn data and wifi off.

How about changing the lock screen with another lock screen app that disables quick settings? Next is one. Credit this post.
Samsung's Good Lock app (which replaces the stock lock screen) requires a PIN entry to change any of the quick toggles when the screen is locked.
