Hello :fingers-crossed:
I have set up my face unlock but when my screen is off the only way I can get back into my phone is by using the fingerprint method, What am I doing wrong?
It doesn't work like Huawei or Honor mobiles.
You've got to either double tap the screen or press the power button to initiate the process.
thanks for the info, i think the fingerprint option will be quicker then
It's good here...
But does not beat the auto faceunlock of my Honor view 10.
I take that phone out of my shirt pocket and without pressing anything, it's unlocked before I even look at it.

Hah!
You got me there.???
I was exaggerating for effect.
But it's true.
Face unlock is the only thing I miss of my View 10.

Previously had H7; on H8 neither I can find it. It's not there at all. Don't understand why it's removed/left out.
Want it back, and native. No patch/crack w/root to be needed, as hereto for it wasn't needed as well.
I would like to have also , Double Tap to sleep ..
Pity we cant attribute this function to the fingerprint sensor .
Would like to have a shortcut for this setting , dont want push power button each time.

No, i want it with EMUI
I found ?* alternative solution. I downloaded Screen Off from playstore , and attributed it to long press fingerprint sensor.

If the fingerprint sensor is kept at front, then that can be the reason.
This should not be the reason for the mobile with Back FP sensor and Smart button.
Honor 5X also do have FP sensor. But it has double tap to wake feature.

Simply didn't want to include in honor 8's kernel
This mod doesn't work. What I'd like is ambient display.

Could be added if we had a kernel dev.
Probably in the next Emui v5. It´s still being cooked.

Sure.
Then, after you double tap it, you need to unlock by fingerprint... because, as you said, you are forced to keep it up to use FP.
I'm not saying Honor did right choice.
But if you choosed a back FP phone, maybe you did it wrong...

When im sleeping, i suppose to have mobile near me rather than a watch or a clock. So that i can see the time while waking up. Especially during holidays without alarm.
I just checked and there is no always on display for the standard mate 9. Is there any app that i can use to get always on display or work around.
i tried a few and they dont work well when unlocking device.
Try Glance Plus . ?

Hi
Yes I tried that option, no change. the phone doesnt unlock or do anything. If i lock the phone, it doesnt even start the glance app AOD..
Im using android Oreo, maybe thats the issue
Always on display

I just feel that face unlock is not very necessary , instead they should have put some othe premium feature.

When apple starts something, it becomes a fad, so good or bad , face unlock is here to stay, just like the iPhone X notch
I remember watching TV commercials on TV for some Motorola or Samsung phone promoting face unlock here in India maybe 5 or more year ago.
Fwiw, I've been really surprised by face unlock - it's really quick and simple. It's rare that it doesn't recognise me (so few false negatives) but I do find myself wondering how accurate it is - so how low is the false positive rate (it's not unlocked for anyone else yet but I've only tried it with a few people)

Hi , i had a bad surprise, i take my picture and i use it to unlock my pro p20, and it's working, can anyone try ? and what can we do to correct this?
long known issue - nothing
Close your eyes for face unlock. Bet you can't find a picture with your eyes closed
That is correct already. Nothing wrong. This is just how normal face unlock works since android 5. You want more secure one? Find one with 3d face unlock ie mi 8 Ee, mate 20 pro and ipx.

or even better, choose one with retina unlock. its harder to be fooled
Anyone notice this feature missing? I always encrypt the phone to require a pin on startup and I'm pissed off that they removed this feature. This might be a deal breaker for me. It's definitely not in settings but it is on my Note 9.

Being a cop, I have way too many numbers/addresses in my phone that I would never want out there. It's a big deal to me, unfortunately.

Are you referring to the lock screen Screen Lock Type. On my note 9, every time I start up, screen times out, I use a pin to sign back on. I see that on my Note 10. If this is not what you mean direct me to what you are talking about on the Note 9, I still have my Note 9. Used the Note 8 to trade-in for the Note 10.

It's called secure start up under biometrics and security
i only see it as strong protection in s10+

I think that's different than what you could do with the Note 9.
Android has requires you to enter your pin when you restart instead of biometrics.
What seems to be missing is the pin at restart before the file system loads.

Isn't Android using file based encryption now and not full disk?

I think they are using file based in Android Q but not in 9. I'm not 100% sure though.

That is definitely not the same thing. The Secure Start encrypts the phone at the boot level. This allows the phone to boot to the lockscreen before requiring a pin code. Not even close to what my Note 9 does.
It's not missing they just changed it... Your phone is completely encrypted until you enter you chosen security.. that's why face and fingerprint don't work on the first sign in

The more reading I've done on this is so if you rebooted you could receive calls even if you didn't unlock the phone.
Before with secure startup you are stuck pre OS boot until you enter the password.
My only concern is if the OS is loaded even if it's encrypted could it be forensiclly bypassed easier?

Yeah that's when it was secure startup... Supposedly the is is fully encrypted when it's locked with this version of Android and on... But there's a option called "strong protection" which adds the benefit of not allowing biometrics on initial startup so someone can't kill u turn it on and use your fingerprints or the cops can't force a bio scan or emulate ur face. It also periodically goes into this mode after a few unlocks. It's been like this since the S10/+ and they shipped with the newest Android versions... The only way to get a screen before boot now is to do simcard lock.
