[Q] Lockscreen Notifications with Fingerprint Unlock?

Hey guys, I just got a Note Edge (loving it btw) and was wondering if there are any lock screen replacements with decent notification features (like Snaplock) that also allows unlocking by fingerprint? I quite like the look of the normal TouchWiz lock screen so something like the DashClock Widget would be perfect since it adds notifications by way of widgets instead of a whole lock screen replacement but I just found out that TouchWiz doesn't allow widgets on the lock screen apart from the default digital clock. Can someone offer some suggestions? Either a lock screen replacement that allows fingerprint scanning or some way to allow widgets on the lock screen after I root it. Thanks a lot!

Go setting....lock screen...under screen lock select finger print.

It's already built into the phone and works great for me. I also like how when using PayPal you can swipe your fingerprint to pay. Can't wait till you can lock different apps with the fingerprint, this would be super useful.

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain properly. I've already registered 3 fingerprints and they work quite well in the lock screen (a lot better than what I had read from some accounts prior to purchasing the phone). What I would like is to have notifications on my lock screen like what you'd get on an iPhone or through lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next Lock Screen. The problem is, when I turn on one of these lock screen replacements in the settings, I get two lock screens. First the replacement lock screen appears with all the notifications and then after unlocking that through either swiping/pattern/pin (they don't support fingerprints), I get the system lock screen which allows me to use my fingerprint. Of course, I can just turn off the system lock screen but like I said, the other lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next don't support fingerprints.

How can u set up paypal?

With the upgrade to Lollipop, you can now get notifications to show on the lock screen (Settings > Device > Sound and Notifications). Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't allow widgets to be used on the secure (fingerprint, PIN, pass, etc.) lock screens, so I am unable to put a weather widget on my lock screen. And since I have a corporate Exchange email account set up on my phone i can't opt-out of using a secure lock screen.
Like all of the other unfortunate AT&T customers that purchased a Note Edge, I got screwed over without the ability to root my device. I would really like to set my phone up the way I want it, as it should be.
And while i'm *****ing, why can't Samsung set up one of their Edge panels (briefing maybe?) to wake the edge screen and display notifications for SMS messages? Am I missing something, or wouldn't that be an ideal function to have with the edge screen? It's nice that they will allow sms notifications on the main lock screen now via lollipop, but why not put them on the edge screen where they should be on a device such as this?
If i'm missing something and there are ways to resolve my two complains please feel free to fill me in.

Thanks for that. I'm still trying to get my phone to update to Lollipop so maybe that will solve everything. I have a factory unlocked phone bought in Australia so from what I read, the update should've rolled out ages ago but it never seems to see it. Anyways, I'm downloading the update manually now via sammobile so let's see!

Totally agree with you. Even if we don't get whole text messages scrolled across the Edge screen, at least light up a few pixels there to show us there that there are notifications waiting. I have a cover that doesn't allow me to see the notification light next to the logo but has a slit cut out for the Edge so that would be perfect.

Pin/Pattern Unlock, Notifications, and Date on Marshmallow Lock Screen

Is there any hack, app, etc that would allow me to have a Marshmallow phone with a pattern security lock that comes up immediately when I wake the phone, and also shows *on the same screen* my notifications and the time and date?

And what about Lollipop? Is it possible?

Love that too
I would love that too.
I cannot believe how hard it is to find a simple PATTERN UNLOCK and notification on the same screen for marshmellow

Yeah, point is no one has a watch any more, so your phone is your watch. You should be able to click it on and see the time and date. No security hole there. My G3 has the on-button on the back - so to check the time I have to click the back, take it out, use my other hand to hit the tiny little back arrow to get from my pattern unlock to the time and date. PITB.

Reply to text from lockscreen

Any way to reply from the lock screen with the stock messages app?

Haven't tried it but I'm pretty sure that you will need to disable hide sensitive data on lockscreen, maybe the possibly you could do that

I can find the setting to show notifications on the lock screen but nothing to reply from lock screen.

I haven't been able to find a way either. The ADB method doesn't work as well.

I was just about to post this lol. https://www.xda-developers.com/enab...ckscreen-on-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-running-nougat/

It works by default for me as long as I expand the notification. I use Textra now, but it worked with the default app as well.

Did you have your passcode or biometrics setup? When I expand the message on the lock screen it just prompts me to enter my passcode or scan iris.

I use Textra and can reply from the "normal" lockscreen but not from the Always on Display screen. I know that I used to be able to do this on my AT&T S7 Edge but can no longer do it on AOD on my AT&T S8+.

It works out of the box lol...just expand and you'll have 3 options call-mark as read-reply....

Screen security (silly?) question

Hi,
i'm on OOS 5.1.6 with unlocked bootlader, official TWRP, and root via Magisk, also got xposed and a few modules (greenify being one of them).
Now the noob silly part: how comes that even if i set fingerprint security for lockscreen (with PIN security behind), if i turn off the screen via power button, and then wake it up (after more than 5secs!) with button again, i am presented with a lockscreen with no security and i can simply swipe up the lock icon and enter the phone?
I'm for sure missing something really obvious here, OR one of my modules (GB, Greenify) might interfere with the security?
Just to be clear: fingerprint unlocking WORKS flawlessly, but if i use the button it just shows the small lock icon that i can simply swipe-up.
Thanks!

Maybe you have enabled face unlock?

Do you have smart lock on? Trusted place or similar, smart watch etc. If one of those are on, it will let you unlock just with a swipe.

And the default time for this lock is 5 sec, see the settings icon right of display lock in settings - security

Thanks guys, i had for some reason Smart Lock enabled, and specifically trusted places (Home) taken from Google Maps. I could not disable it (well i could, but it reverted back as active) until i found under 'Trust Agents' Smart Lock (Google) and disabled it.
Weird.

Question Disable lock screen?

Sorry if this has already been covered, but it there a way to flip the phone open and have it go directly to the last opened app / home screen while still keeping fingerprints enabled? I understand that the screen lock type can be set to "none" but this also makes me erase my fingerprints / pin. I don't need lock screen security but would like to keep fingerprint authentication for other apps. I tried to change screen lock type to none and then setup my fingerprint within Samsung pay but this just re-enabled the lock screen.
Thanks in advance.

Have a look at "autoinput" on playstore.
