Ok just got one of these devices and I reading that if you unlock the bootloader the finger print reader doesn't work anymore so knowing that is there anything that can be flashed or should I just move on to a different device thanks for any information.......
Once you unlock the boot loader the fingerprint won't work or any type of lock screen for that matter. Once you press the power button the lock screen will be a swipe lock screen unprotected by any password, pin etc. So anyone can open your phone.
As there is no solution right now for any of this, I recommend you to move to a different device or you can flash a GSI if you are fine with the above statement. Tested GSIs are available in the development section and I recommend you to join the Telegram group in order to find more.

Hi
Just bought the S3 last week - have not tweaked it in any way (apart from rooting and using Go Launcher ex). Works great apart from a couple of things security related:
When I try to enrypt device or encrypt sd card there are no options to enter pin and the continue button is greyed out for both
I want to securely lock the screen with a pin but the first unlock screen to appear just requires you to slide the lock button to the right to unlock the screen enabling full access to the phone. I basically want the phone to immediately (and only) ask for a pin when it comes out of standby.
Thanks for your help!

Hi! You are in the wrong forum Search for your phone's forum and ask there.
I have a problem with my phone that I can't seem to find a solution for. Every single rom that I have flashed to my phone always ends up with a disappearing lockscreen. No matter what I choose, whether it is pattern unlock, pin unlock, etc eventually after maybe 2 or 3 unlocks and relocks the screen to enter the pattern or pin disappears and all I have left is an emergency call option at the bottom of the screen. And the only way to get it working (for a while) is to pull the battery. I properly wipe the phone before flashing but I haven't been able to stop it from happening.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

sounds like your running sky ics there is a known issue with that check the forum with BRUNO's repsonses you will find the answer there
So on 4.4.4 when I used face unlock I would get a circle to see my face and it would unlock the phone, if it was to dark for my face then the PIN pad would appear.
Now on 5.0.1 I get the PIN pad first with no area to see my face. I can hit the back nav button on the PIN screen and get to the unlock screen and if it had seen my face it unlocks, other wise its back to the PIN screen. Seems overly annoying compared to the way 4.4.4 ran facial unlock.
Am I doing something wrong??????
In lolipop it will try to see your face without anything appearing on the screen .. then if it successfully find your face, your device will be unlocked automatically
U can see face icon in the lock screen and if it successfully unlocked, u can pull the lock to unlock the device without entering the password
Correct but on 4.4.4 it required no screen interaction to unlock with my face. On 5.0.1 I still have to back out of the PIN screen and swipe up to unlock.
Homonyms... "your" doing in wrong.
Hi all,
I have a very strange issue since today. I used the fingerprint to lock/unlock my device which worked very nice; until today.
If I place my finger onto the home button it will not unlock the S6 anymore! But, I can unlock it easily just swipe my finger over the screen. Seems there is no protection anymore. I changed the settings to unlock with pin, but here the same issue. The S6 don't ask me for a pin and I can unlock it by just swipe my finger over the screen.
If I restart the phone, it will ask me the first time for pin/fingerprint. But after the first unlock it is unlocked like above.
Any body else with this issue?
BTW, the home button feels a little loose since todat too, but the issue is also by pin unlock etc.
Hey guys!
Interesting problem I've been working on, my friend's sister has a tablet (did some research, 99% sure it's the Ubox A13-MID) that has a pattern lock. She forgot the pattern, and also doesn't know what the main gmail attached to it is. I've attempted several unlock patterns, no 'forgot password?' prompt comes up. The tablet also doesn't appear to have a fastboot or recovery menu... pressing power+vol up, power+vol down, and power+vol up+down doesn't do anything, no matter how long I hold the buttons, no matter if I let the power button go after a couple seconds, nothing happens. She's not tech savvy, so I know USB debugging isn't enabled. The tablet has an SD slot, and I'm not certain if it supports OTG. But even with these considered as possible ways of restoring the tablet (by any means possible, including root), I don't see any way of doing anything with them without any system menus.
By the way, I hope this isn't a violation to ask this (any kid could come on here and ask how to unlock a stolen device, lol), so please forgive me if it is. If it would be of any aid, I have two rooted androids of my own, both support OTG. Just throwing that out there in case either of them may be able to aid in unlocking this crapplet.
Safe mode doesn't help, and launching the 'power off/airplane mode/sound' window DOES reveal the back button, home button, and screenshot button along the bottom of the device's screen, as well as the option to increase/decrease volume (I was hoping there would be the tiny chance of a settings icon there to bypass the screen). Been swiping up to see if I could launch something to bypass it, as a bug. I can take screenshots this way, but that seems to be all.
I was able to bug out the tablet by dragging the clock to the trashcan, the 3 dot icon came up on the bar but when I clicked it, the tablet just powered off
When it came back on, the clock was back, and the same cycle occurred when I did it again.
Is this a lost cause?
