When I turn the screen on to check notifications and i expand a notification: text, facebook message, etc..
Even while my finger is touching the screen the screen turns off. This occurs both in power save mode and with power save mode turned off.
Its quite annoying, especially if i just want to read real quick what an email says.
Anyone else getting this?
Nope. Try doing a hard reset
Tried a second s6 and resetting the device. I get the same thing. I also have the unlock effect turned off.
My phone is also giving me problems on the lockscreen. I don't have an unlock effect either so I'm thinking be the problem. I notice when I turn on any other option my problem goes away. It just darkens my wallpaper to almost black. Did a hard reset as well.
I also noticed a huge lag when i tap a notification and then try to unlock. I'm also unable to double tap a notification on lock screen to open that specific app.
I tried using the buble unlock affect and still get the same problem. turn on screen->expand notification of given app while still holding my finger on the screen, then seconds later screen turns black

I see what you're saying about holding the finger on the screen and it still times out. Is it not like this on other lollipop phones, this is my first go with lollipop so I don't know? ...No lag for me, and I can tap then unlock and I'm in the app asap.

Well maybe its cause i came from an AOSP rom on my Lg g2 but i would think if your finger it touching the screen it should stay on anyways.
I wish i could just double tap the notification and it opens the app versus tapping the notification and then having to swipe to unlock.
the lag when trying to unlock after tapping the notification is a little, its not instant like how it would when tapping on a heads-up notification

I just tried again...If you swipe down on the notification to read it, it should go up to like another screen (not literally) but the notification slides up basically were the clock and weather would be. There it doesn't time out until the screen time out you have set under display is reached, and you can read the other notifications too. What you are doing is pulling down the notification without letting go then it times out. Swipe the notification and let go of the screen.

This is probably a stupid question but once my phone locks and I wake it up there's a padlock that requires me to swipe outside its circle before it will unlock by reading my fingerprint to unlock as if I have swipe AND fingerprint as my lock settings....
Anyone else having this issue? I've been messing with settings all night and can't figure it out lol.
Thanks!
Mine works just fine. Push home button and leave finger there for fingerprint identification.

Sounds like you have Smart Lock enabled. If you swipe in the middle of the screen instead of the lock icon, does it unlock the phone without having to use your fingerprint? That is how mine is set up with Smart Lock, but if I am away from a trusted location, I have to place my finger on the scanner instead of swiping the screen. When at a trusted location, if you want to lock your phone, you have to swipe the lock icon for it to ask for your fingerprint.
It was because I had trusted devices nearby.

Hm. I just turned off smart lock instead.
If I swiped the padlock, I'd have to THEN do the fingerprint.
Any idea on where this double lock issue is coming from?

Swipe in the middle of the screen instead of the padlock. Swiping the Padlock tells the Smart Lock feature that even though you are near a trusted device or place, that you still want to require a fingerprint to unlock the device. It's useful if you are having a party or something at a trusted location and want extra security. You shouldn't see the Padlock if you turned off Smart Lock, if you still do, maybe try to reboot?

Did someone say party?
I enabled smart lock and have my home as a trusted location. When I open the phone with the power button or a short press on the home key, I don't see a padlock, just the usual lock screen saying use fingerprint to unlock. I open maps and it sees my location as home, am I missing something?

Mine was doing that too when I just put in my address from Google Maps. I had to select "Add a Trusted Place" when I was at my house. When I did that, it pulled up a map and put a large circle around my location. As long as I am in that circle, it works perfectly. I never was able to get it to work using just my address.

Thanks. I was at a friends today, added his location to trusted locations and it worked like a charm. I got home and tried to delete my "home" as a trusted location but it wouldn't let me remove it, only edit or turn off the location. Anyway, I turned it off, then back on.....edited it, and re-chose it from Google Maps. After all the fiddling, one of them worked because it's now "all good in the hood"....
So I set up my S7 with Fingerprint, but sometimes it doesn't even ask for my fingerprint and i can just unlock the phone by swiping it.
And when I press on a notification it will unlock the phone by it self without asking for fingerprint
Solutions ?
Using third party lockscreen?
Check Settings, Lock screen and security, Secure lock settings, Smart Lock.
So for years I have used nova launcher and had a simple swipe up on the home screen to lock my device. I got my S10 the other week and continued to use it. I didn't set up face recognition because I am fairly happy with fingerprint unlock.
With face recognition turned off, a swipe up on the home screen locks the screen (turns it off entirely) as it always did. However I tried turning face unlock on today and it's pretty cool. BUT now when I swipe up to lock, I am left with a lock screen rather than a black screen. worth noting that pressing the lock button does turn the screen off entirely. But I have my lock gesture for a reason! I now have to disable face unlock because I insist on locking with a gesture, and it effectively isn't locking the phone.
This is probably a fairly unique problem but if anyone else has experienced this and/or knows a workaround I'd love to hear from you.
Cheers
I'm having a weird issue with my Pixel 1, all of a sudden my swipe from bottom home gesture stopped working. I enabled the soft buttons bar again but even tapping the home button there does nothing neither does the app drawer button, however the back gesture and button works fine.
There's also a few more oddities like my registered fingerprints got deleted so I had to register them again, some settings were changed like the order of the quick action icons, swiping the fingerprint reader down doesn't open notifications, and so on.
I've had issues with my battery for a while so I thought it could be related but I still have issues after replacing it. Is this a know issue or some sort of malware maybe? I'm thinking about doing a factory reset but I'm wondering if there's a less nuclear option.
Thanks!
