So, I can't find the settings to set up face unlock. I thought it was a feature it was supposed to have. While I prefer the fingerprint scanner, I've gotten used to using my face to unlock at work.
Also, does Google assistant works for anyone with the screen locked? My old phone worked. This one is supposedly better.
Big disappointment so far.

Your totally right. Where is face unlock? I've totally forgotten this feature. Doesn't seem to be implemented yet. Assistant doesn't work with screen locked.
Its in "Settings" -> "Lock screen and password" -> "Add face data". I have that on the 256 version. MIUI 9.5.

Global Rom?
Because I only have this.
Im pretty sure im on Chinese rom.
I use face unlock on chinese rom since day one. don't know if it's available on official global rom or xiaomi.eu rom. is it?
Hi
Just set INDIA as your main country and the face unlock option will appear in settings. Realy i don't understand why Xiaomi block this future for the others countries.
I've the last Global Rom Stable Vers.
If you don't have faceunlock just go to root directory/cust/cust and delete the files in it and reboot. There is region specific stuff stored and if you delete it you will have all features. Source

You're right, this works.
But I can't change my region permanently because of time zone issues.
That's super annoying.

You can set manually your time zone .. I’ve make this simple change and works . We hope that Xiaomi release a rom without this stupid limitation . I’m wait that my bootloader unlock counter will expire in 14 days and I will flash another rom.

But other settings will get messed up. Assistant won't work, Google lens won't work.

With latest firmware (G930FXXU1APD1-G930FDBT1APC5-DBT) Im having problems when unlocking the device with fingerprint. It does not allow me, but instead I get:
“Enter pin instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy”
And I have to use the PIN.
This happens when locking the display with “lock wedged”. If the lock is made with button (power) ... or time out display. Then I can normally use the fingerprint.
Does someone also facing the problem?
Is there any solution – setting?
Best.

Yes i had this and tried to reset my fingerprints when i tried that settings error and closed, then i couldnt change anything, pin, fingerprints, couldnt even factory reset. Cause it always asked for my pin and after i entered it settings would error rebooting didnt help. Finally using android device manager from my pc i had to do an erase. My s7 is stock and it had nothing disable at the time this happen.

there might be extra Policy set on ur device.
go to setting > Security > click on Clear Credentials
+ also check what is ur device administrator
:good:
I had that even on my Nexus 6P when using Nova's double tap to lock feature. I think it's something to do with Marshmallow actually.

You can try Samsung's Good Lock app from Galaxy Apps store or, if you live outside U.S., from apkmirror.com. It's a System UI update that allows fingerprint unlock with third party locking widgets.
@ avah
This actually works. But ... then I get totally different lock screen display etc... that I actually don’t like.
So ... till now ... no real solution.

Question.
Is it possible to flash the phone back to previous ROM version via Odin… and you won’t get Knox void .. or something else??
I'm thinking to go back to previous ROM when lock and fingerprint worked OK.

This is a duplicate of: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/security-policy-prevents-fingerprint-t3354270
You can find details on that thread about this problem.
I'm having the same issue and I must say it is very annoying. Can't really see any reason why this should interfere with the security. Should be my choice to be honest. Would be nice to have a solution to this. Looks like it's been an issue for a long time as well. Found some threads about the 6P for example with the same issue.
Try use other app to pass that policy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luutinhit.doubletapscreenoff

Yes but the problem still remains so it was a good initiative. I've got a brand new S7 and I find this very annoying. If I switch off my screen with Nova, I have to use fingerprint+PIN Code to unlock. If I switch it with physical buttons, I only have to use fingerprints..
Fixed
Search 4 knock on app on playstore.
Instal
Tap on create icon. Turn off the rest options
Fixed by installing a third party screen locker.

Hi. I recently updated my phone to Marshmallow. Previously, I had face unlock setup. But, for some reason, I couldn't find face unlock in the settings after updating. It seems that Huawei have decided to remove face unlock in their ROM.
So, is there any way to activate face unlock. I have already tried switching trusted agents to Google, but in the smart lock section, only Bluetooth is available.
Thanks.
sadly its removed in MM

@Puksom had said in another thread that he had OK Google working to wake up the phone, but I've heard from many others that it doesn't.
Hoping anyone running various versions of MIUI Global and/or Chinese can chime in if they have this feature working.
If it works for you, please let me know your build number. I can confirm it doesn't work on the latest Chinese stable, but, since I still have another couple days for bootloader unlock, I can't confirm much else.
Note that by OK Google wake-up, I mean with the screen off, and the phone unplugged.
By unlock, I mean that you set a PIN/Password, and that saying OK Google can bypass this lock screen if your voice matches.
(By the way, a somewhat difficult work-around for people who need this feature but can't get it working...)
You can set up, on the Chinese builds, a voice wake-up for the Chinese assistant.
Although you'll need to pronounce it well, you need to program the wake-up word, Xiao ai, by saying Xiao ai tong xue
Then saying "Xiao ai" can make the phone wake up... from there, you can say "OK google" and access assistant. But of course we all want to access assistant directly.
I have that working I'm on official Chinese rom with Google apps and services installed it works ok
I'm running Global Version (9.5.4), and it doesn't work.
When the screen is off, it's not listening. When the screen is on, on the lock screen, it activates, but it doesn't unlock the phone (there's no Trusted Voice), so you need to enter your PIN/pattern.
Trusted Places is not available either, so there is no way to have the phone unlock automatically except using a Mi Band or some other bluetooth device.
@funziebear What is working for you exactly? OK Google with screen off? Does it also unlock your phone automatically or do you have to enter your pattern/pin as well? I though no version of MIUI supported any of those features, based on what I have been able to dug up.
I'm also on the Global Rom and it does NOT work. As well as not having any face unlock options.
Very disappointing.
I'm on official chinese stable. Installed all Google Apps and gave full permissions and autostart permissions to all Google Apps. Installed Assistant and was even able to activate it properly with wake-up and trusted voice. But it's still not working. There was once a message from within the assistant, that said Xiao Ai is still the default assistant and Google Assistant is not set as default.
It's working with screen on, but not unlocking
It's not working with screen off

Are you sure? Can you say OK Google with the screen off, and it wakes up?
can you guys please figure this out definitively ? Cuz I'm willing to buy the phone, but i will not buy it if google's assistant isn't able to wake-up the phone. pretty please figure it out.
It currently does not work with the screen off.
SolarisSixth said:

within your helm of knowledge do you believe it's going to receive this feature in a near-future update?
Cuz I ran into this EXACT same issue with my Galaxy S7 and saw people with Galaxy S6 and S8 facing the same issue, all of them can wake-up the screen, even the word can be configured to whatever word the user wants as long as it is phonetically pronounceable in the 5 most common languages, but the catch is that it only works with Samsung Voice later renamed to Bixby. And I even tried running both Samsung and Google's assistants simultaneously, it doesn't work, they both compete for the exclusive use of the microphone so the idea of using one to wake-up the screen and the other to execute the command is not practical or viable since the second one will only have access to the microphone-audio-stream after the first one released it. So in the end I deactivated the ****ty Samsung Voice crap and decided to stay with Google's Assistant even though it does not wake-up the phone.
what a barbaric decision this is specially coming from Xiaomi. truly ****ed up
Any updates on this? I haven't tried newer MIUI 10 versions, wondering if they added support.

I take it nothing's changed with the more recent releases?
I tried the MIUI 10 Global Stable, and still no wake-up by voice.
I tried to enable Smart Lock and have run into a couple issues which no amount of searching gave way to results. I'm on a stock unrooted device.
Is there a way to make this feature work based on location? Seems to not work in locations where I set it to. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling google play services to no avail. Rebooting does nothing to fix.
Sometimes when I try to view the Smart Lock settings, after entering the pin/pattern nothing appears in the menu at all. Very buggy. Does this feature just plain suck or something? I'd rather not use face unlock, but this might force me to.

I wonder if this is an Oreo issue and if it will be fixed in P. Very annoying. I may just drop security all together. I didn't have it on my last phone for over 3 years. I like the idea of it, but not being able to unlock the phone while driving and at "trusted" places is pretty useless.

It has nothing to do with speed and everything to do with convenience. Let's not forget that GOOGLE is the one who added the feature. Oreo has been out, in general, for a while. It should just plain work. If I'm at home, why should there be a lock on my device? When I'm out however, it just makes sense to be locked down. Adding a feature that actually doesn't work or works some of the time, is something you'd think they'd have caught during Oreo testing at Google; particularly, as it's an issue with Android, not manufacturers. Even my wife's Galaxy S9+ has this issue.
@thejase
I get that but I don't use it as I'm the opposite phone should be locked when not in my hand never know what will happen,who may come over to visit I have lots of nieces and nephews. One who grabs any phone he can.
But I meant it to be fast enough that it's as if it's not locked.
If you want to stick with
Smart lock have you tried use the voice feature it may work.
Also look into Tasker I seem to remember someone using it to unlock the device based on location. I use it to turn on and off my Wi-Fi based on location. Auto start my music when in my truck.

Seems to be working better today. Disabled the "smart lock" in trust agents setting under fingerprint and security, then booted to the stock recovery and wiped the cache only. (I'm not rooted yet, but TWRP would work for this as well). Seems to have led to a fix, but it could be temporary. As for usefulness of smart lock, I am not worried about others in my own home taking my device and combing through it for all I care. If you have kids or are concerned about content on your phone being messed with, just don't use the feature. For a lot of people, it is a useful feature to have.
This issue has returned and requires a cache wipe almost every day. Beyond annoyed. I am considering deleting my fingerprints or any security. Pretty stupid feature that makes the phone require a password every single time I want to use it, when this feature could have alleviated that in so many places where I know my phone is safe (home, work, car).

Hi,
i have a t-mobile v60. i checked the system update page and i can see it but the download will not work. can anyone please send me the link to download the update so i can manually flash my phone?
I just got bought a used v60 TMobile variant and I'm trying to get it unlocked for my carrier here in Canada....I tried one site and they were unable to provide an unlock code (possibly the original owner didn't pay their bill). The IMEI comes up clean here when I ran it but I may be forced to have a remote unlock from what appears to be a reputable company online. They want to flash the v600vm kdz to unlock it.
It has android 12 update ready to download but I held off because
1. I don't know if it will affect being able to get it unlocked or flash the other variant firmware
2. I wanted to wait to see if there are issues with android 12 on it.
But I'm wondering if it's at all possible the android 12 firmware is no longer locked?
Any suggestions for my particular situation?
Has anyone else had camera problems since the android 12 update. The camera settings menu has dissapeared.
Anyone get display not registering movements/taps?
I thought that this was an issue with the drawing over other apps functionality that A12 has been cracking down on (Tasker, Pixel Filter, etc.), but even disabling/removing the aforementioned apps, this still happens intermittently, which renders that phone useless randomly. No matter how many times I lock/try to unlock the phone (via fingerprint), the screen just does not register taps/swipes...
And yes, this happened from A11-A12 upgrade, and is still present after doing a factory reset on A12.
I did a FDR and I still have several bugs.

Can you be more specific? Are you in the photo or video mode for example? Have you tried deleting the cache (and/or data) of the camera app, and trying again?
EDIT: Are you using battery saver mode perhaps? I know when you are using extreme battery saver (or whatever it's called), camera app becomes real basic, and there is no settings menu.

Smart Lock notification was stuck in the settings menu, Bluetooth initial connection bug, when a folder is created to group apps and you click the plus to add + select the apps you want and click done, they are not added. These are the initial ones I've noticed. I've had a few times where I went to go back to a certain screen and it studders. Google Map when it's small cause you have to take a call or go to something else and try to click the square box won't maximize, you have to go to the app icon and select it. I do run Google bets apps. These apps didn't give me issues prior to update though.
