Sorry if this has already been covered, but it there a way to flip the phone open and have it go directly to the last opened app / home screen while still keeping fingerprints enabled? I understand that the screen lock type can be set to "none" but this also makes me erase my fingerprints / pin. I don't need lock screen security but would like to keep fingerprint authentication for other apps. I tried to change screen lock type to none and then setup my fingerprint within Samsung pay but this just re-enabled the lock screen.
Thanks in advance.
Have a look at "autoinput" on playstore.

I just discovered, after setting smart lock with both trusted face and place, that if I lock the screen using an app (LockScreen for example, which I have set as a Nova shortcut), when I turn my screen back on smart lock will not work...
The same happens if I use the Greenify hibernate + lock screen shortcut. Has anyone had the same problem and found a workaround? I'm really used to lock the screen with a shortcut but I'd also like to use smart lock
Thanks in advance!

You're manually locking the phone which over rides the smart lock functionality. No work around at this time, that I know of.
Hey guys, I just got a Note Edge (loving it btw) and was wondering if there are any lock screen replacements with decent notification features (like Snaplock) that also allows unlocking by fingerprint? I quite like the look of the normal TouchWiz lock screen so something like the DashClock Widget would be perfect since it adds notifications by way of widgets instead of a whole lock screen replacement but I just found out that TouchWiz doesn't allow widgets on the lock screen apart from the default digital clock. Can someone offer some suggestions? Either a lock screen replacement that allows fingerprint scanning or some way to allow widgets on the lock screen after I root it. Thanks a lot!
Go setting....lock screen...under screen lock select finger print.

It's already built into the phone and works great for me. I also like how when using PayPal you can swipe your fingerprint to pay. Can't wait till you can lock different apps with the fingerprint, this would be super useful.

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain properly. I've already registered 3 fingerprints and they work quite well in the lock screen (a lot better than what I had read from some accounts prior to purchasing the phone). What I would like is to have notifications on my lock screen like what you'd get on an iPhone or through lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next Lock Screen. The problem is, when I turn on one of these lock screen replacements in the settings, I get two lock screens. First the replacement lock screen appears with all the notifications and then after unlocking that through either swiping/pattern/pin (they don't support fingerprints), I get the system lock screen which allows me to use my fingerprint. Of course, I can just turn off the system lock screen but like I said, the other lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next don't support fingerprints.

How can u set up paypal?
With the upgrade to Lollipop, you can now get notifications to show on the lock screen (Settings > Device > Sound and Notifications). Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't allow widgets to be used on the secure (fingerprint, PIN, pass, etc.) lock screens, so I am unable to put a weather widget on my lock screen. And since I have a corporate Exchange email account set up on my phone i can't opt-out of using a secure lock screen.
Like all of the other unfortunate AT&T customers that purchased a Note Edge, I got screwed over without the ability to root my device. I would really like to set my phone up the way I want it, as it should be.
And while i'm *****ing, why can't Samsung set up one of their Edge panels (briefing maybe?) to wake the edge screen and display notifications for SMS messages? Am I missing something, or wouldn't that be an ideal function to have with the edge screen? It's nice that they will allow sms notifications on the main lock screen now via lollipop, but why not put them on the edge screen where they should be on a device such as this?
If i'm missing something and there are ways to resolve my two complains please feel free to fill me in.

Thanks for that. I'm still trying to get my phone to update to Lollipop so maybe that will solve everything. I have a factory unlocked phone bought in Australia so from what I read, the update should've rolled out ages ago but it never seems to see it. Anyways, I'm downloading the update manually now via sammobile so let's see!

Totally agree with you. Even if we don't get whole text messages scrolled across the Edge screen, at least light up a few pixels there to show us there that there are notifications waiting. I have a cover that doesn't allow me to see the notification light next to the logo but has a slit cut out for the Edge so that would be perfect.
I use the fingerprint scanner and pin code to lock screen as usual. But when I unlock the phone through the pin(not the fp scanner) it sometimes pushs a notification that says 'secure screen lock needed'
I tried to change the pin and many other options in the screen lock menu but nothing worked.
What should I do to get rid of this notification?

Is this the message you're getting because it may have to do with Android Pay if you have it on your device.

Hmm...well the icon next to that one is for Google Play Services. Maybe you could just check this link to see if you need an update or something:

Does anyone know of any lock screen alternatives that work well with the Mate 9.
I've tried a few but I've ended up with the new lock screen on top of the Mate 9 default one as i also can't find a way to disable the default lock screen.

i'm using an app called Floatify; it's more for notifications, but gives you the ability to use its lock screen as well. nothing fancy, there are a few customization options (clock style, wallpaper, clock size, position). i don't recall the stock lock screen interfering/appearing before the Floatify lock screen. (could be happening and i haven't see it). the pic below is using the Floatify lock screen and notifications (you can customize color/font/size of notifications).

Thanks for the suggestion and Floatify looks good but when I switch the phone on, I briefly get an image of the Huawei lock screen before it gets covered up but Floatify. Do you know how to fully disable the Huawei lock screen so it never appears?
Thanks for your help.

I think I didn't have this problem with the Next lockscreen.
But I stopped using it since it is so fast to login with fingerprint reader

unfortunately, i don't know how to completely disable the lock screen. did you disable the "magazine" lock screen? i disabled the "magazine" lock screen on my device and i see the Floatify lock screen when waking via the power button or fingerprint. i'll pay closer attention to see if the stock lock screen is actually appearing and i'm not noticing it.

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I can't see a way to disable the Magazine lock. In Lock Screen Style, I can only see the Magazine lock and no way to select another or un-select Magazine lock. Any help very much appreciated.

hey, sorry about lack of clarity with my reply. i forgot to mention that i installed a theme named "Pure Black 1.5.2" and under Screen lock & passwords->Screen lock style, i chose Pure Black 1.5.2 as the lock screen (vs Magazine unlock). i also disabled "use" of the Magazine pictures on the lock screen by removing the checkmarks (Screen lock & passwords->Magazine unlock). i've been paying closer attention to my lock screen and the Floatify lock screen has appeared every time the device awakens to display notifications and/or if i press the power button to manually check for notifications. hope this helps and apologies for leaving out the additional steps.

I had to change the smart cover option to "no window", "Kein Fenster" in German.
Hi,
i'm on OOS 5.1.6 with unlocked bootlader, official TWRP, and root via Magisk, also got xposed and a few modules (greenify being one of them).
Now the noob silly part: how comes that even if i set fingerprint security for lockscreen (with PIN security behind), if i turn off the screen via power button, and then wake it up (after more than 5secs!) with button again, i am presented with a lockscreen with no security and i can simply swipe up the lock icon and enter the phone?
I'm for sure missing something really obvious here, OR one of my modules (GB, Greenify) might interfere with the security?
Just to be clear: fingerprint unlocking WORKS flawlessly, but if i use the button it just shows the small lock icon that i can simply swipe-up.
Thanks!
Maybe you have enabled face unlock?
Do you have smart lock on? Trusted place or similar, smart watch etc. If one of those are on, it will let you unlock just with a swipe.
And the default time for this lock is 5 sec, see the settings icon right of display lock in settings - security
Thanks guys, i had for some reason Smart Lock enabled, and specifically trusted places (Home) taken from Google Maps. I could not disable it (well i could, but it reverted back as active) until i found under 'Trust Agents' Smart Lock (Google) and disabled it.
Weird.
