Is the device suppose to vibrate (smart key) or provide feedback on unlock?

It vibrates when the fingerprint sensor is incorrectly triggered, meaning an unregistered finger is used or the correct finger is picked up incorrectly at first. If you're using the correct finger and this is constantly happening, try to re-register the finger.

Ok, so it's been awhile since I've used a Samsung Device and my dad just got one. After setting it up and everything I've noticed that I was only able to use the finger scanner to unlock the phone on first attempt (after unlock with the finger scanner at lock screen -> hitting the power button / lock screen it I am unable to unlock it with the finger scanner again, the only option is the swipe the screen to unlock). This is so frustrating because lets say I am at home and I have guests over and they randomly just access my phone like that. I browsed through the settings and it's getting to the point where I don't know how to set this finger scanner unlock process up, which should be cake. I did some more research and I've read that it's something to do with the smart lock? But i've noticed that those aren't even enable so it couldn't have been that.
PS: simply put in short,
- Unable to use the finger scanner to unlock the device after second try (as it's not an option)
- After using finger scanner to unlock the device at lock screen it goes back to swipe to unlock
Main focus: Can I set it up so that it's able to always use the finger scanner to unlock the device like other phones such as, LGs, Nexus, Sonys, iPhones, etc.?
Thanks for whoever's reading this
Edit: Nvm I found the solution, not sure why they made it so complicated this should've standard -___-

Stock rom with lolipop 5.1.1 I fixed though. It turned out that all I had to do was go into the security and go to secured lock time and set it to instant lock rather than at display. I don't know why they don't just combine the two so that it's easier to approach.

Great then.
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.
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.
hello, I have been using my old galaxy s7 phone, in this you hold the boton home and the phone is unlocked. In this phone, you have to take the phone and press the finger sensor or push boton home. I set up the unlocked phone with finger sensor and facial recognition. So my question is, Its possible press the screen and wake up (When is on the table example) to read notification or unlocked with facial sensor?
Can you help me ? I have to set up something in setting or i have to install some app ?
Thanks you so much
Hi you beautiful people.
Is there a way of unlocking using fingerprint by pressing the power button and not just rest the finger to unlock.
To clarify i want to actually click the button to wake/read finger print and not just rest finger on it i.e if picking it up etc.
Thanks
