I was wondering if anybody had noticed this.
When I change lock screen security from swipe to say "lock pattern", it does nothing.
It'll disable other lock widgets, because I guess in 4.3 or touchwiz you can't have widgets and lock patterns (but I digress).
The lock screen unlock will still be a swipe, no pattern.
Anybody else experience this?
Any work arounds?
Thanks.

I assume you changed the timeout for the lock engage?

That baffles me until I noticed I did not change the timeout for the Secured lock time to instant. Then I said to myself, this can be useful. Set Secured lock time out to 1 hour and use the password lock option. If I lost or displaced my phone, it will be password locked in 1 hour but if I use my phone constantly every 5-10 minutes, I still have the benefit of the easy to use slide to lock knowing that it is backed up with a password lock after 1 hours of no activity.
Then I try to repeat this on my old Sprint Note 2, Sprint Note 3, Samsung Note 10.1 2014 and I can't do it. Instead of a slide to unlock within the specified Secured lock time, I am greeted with a totally unlock screen. Which is really bad for butt dialing and accidental touch screen use since the screen is not protected by slide to unlock while it is in your pocket.
It seems this is a unique feature to AT&T note 3.
Try turning off the lock screen effect. I had this problem and I changed the effect from watercolor to none and that fixed it.
I took delivery of my Z3 Compact yesterday, replacing a Moto G. Lovely phone but I am seeing issues when swiping between home screens, swiping between pages in apps like the dialler, and swiping to unlock. When unlocking for example, it doesn't always work: I see the particle trail following my finger but the phone doesn't register this as a swipe. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 attempts to unlock. This is odd. Similarly, swiping left/right to switch home screens is hit and miss and the pages often bounce back. It's quite frustrating. Are there any settings that could be affecting this?
Can't confirm this for my Z3C, works as expected. Not sure, but could it be you turned on glove mode in screen settings (though this would make the screen even more sensitive)?
This happened to me a couple of times after enabling Double Tap to wake phone - hasnt happened since

I can confirm the swiping to unlock, needs 3 or 4 swipes until it unlocks on mine. I have double tap to wake up checked.

by chance, do you have any screen protectors or glove mode switched on
Glove mode is off and I dont have a screen protector.
This sounds like what happens with my Xperia Acro S when the display is wet; I can see the visual feedback from the swipe, but it doesn't actually unlock the phone. But I take it your Z3C is completely dry?
I need to swipe the pattern to unlock my phone several times if I use my left hand. With my right hand I only need to swipe once. I wonder if I used my right hand to swipe the pattern originally. No trouble swiping for the rest.

I only seem to have this issue with the PIN entry - for whatever reason, the phone responds quite slowly when entering PIN, to the point I have to wait about half a second between each digit. My Moto G, a much slower phone, responds instantly when entering the PIN digits.
I ended up switching to a pattern that mimicked my PIN entry motions, as the pattern swipe seems to respond properly.
Kind of weird, since the rest of the phone is very snappy and responsive.
I don't have the glove mode on bh5 the screen seems super sensitive, maybe too much. Also in combination with a different phone size than what your hand is used to. This is how I explain some weird swipes. A few times I swiped and the screen moved, then bounced back. I think we probably have to use wider/stronger swipes? I'm sure I'll get used to it. I remember the same thing happened a few days after I got my previous phone. I think it's a matter of getting used to the sensitivity of the screen. I don't think there is something wrong with it.

I have the same problem. I even returned my first Z3 compact, but now the second one has the same problem.
When I am using my phone one handed with right hand and swipe with my thumb from left to right pages would oftentimes not turn or bounce back. Occasionally swipe right in is executed even though i just did a normal swipe right.
Swiping in 2 handed mode with my index finger seems to be PERFECTLY alright.
This is REALLY annoying!!! Does anyone have a clue if this is a software or hardware issues? Could the displays be faulty in design or is it something they can repair in a software update.
I am willing to wait for a software update, but if its hardware I'd like to return it right away. I have owned plenty of touchphones over the year, I have never experienced anything like this!
Have any of you who are experiencing the issue used Sony phones before?
I'm not ruling out that there is a problem, but perhaps Sony's UI requires longer/faster swipes than you're used to?
I've not noticed it myself, but I'm coming from a Sony phone previously. May or may not be a factor.

I have a Sony Z1 compact. No issue whatsover. I have it still here for comparison. I think you will only experience if you swipe in a particular way, while there are some other ways to swipe where the problem is not there at all.

Agreed.
Coming from a moto G
Not had an issue with unlock, but I did notice I had to do different swipes when flicking between different panes of the home-screen, no biggie now I think I've adjusted.

I have made a video about the issue.
I'm experiencing the same regarding having to use wider swipes sometimes. As far as the lockscreen goes, I have double tap to wake, and have not yet had an issue unlocking the phone.
I also had the same problem and it seems that it's not a software problem (mine was branded Orange with this problem and also after unbranding the problem remains)
Ichanged it today the new one doesn't have this kind of problem (or very rarely)
OK, I've done some more experiments.
Holding my phone in my left hand and swiping using my right index finger is perfect. It's using my thumb that seems to be the issue: it has a larger surface area so my money is on a software issue.
Also, I enabled Sramina mode and checked "Extended usage" (which lowers the processor speed I think) and it works perfectly! Swiping with my thumb shows no issues.
I'm getting used to it now: it's still annoying but muscle memory is starting to kick in and I'm adjusting my swipes to compensate.
Still odd though but I don't think it's a hardware issue,
Had the Z3 compact for a couple of days and I noticed this issue too. However after messing about holding it various ways I believe it is down to the screen being close to the edge of the body of the phone and with one handed use you inadvertently touch the opposite side to the direction you are swiping with the base of your thumb. Result is when you release your swipe, the unwanted contact sends it the other way.
Try verifying this by using two hands and ensuring no other contact when you swipe. Works fine for me, and I can reproduce the problem with one handed use.
Mine has this issue as well. Sometimes it even happens up to 3 times in a row. Maybe it is related to whether it has dragontrail or gorilla glass? Both are used for the z3c.
It seems there is issue in Lenevo Zuk Z1. Screen gets unlocked without providing finger print or pattern. Whenever I receive any notification from any application and it gets showed in locked screen. So, if I swipe the notification to remove it and just move my finger from bottom to up or right to left screen gets unlocked without proving any finger print or pattern or password. Any body else facing the same issue..?

maybe you have enabled smart lock? try to check it on the security settings.
I find this very annoying, I turned on the Show Touches on Dev Mode, and when playing intense game (PUBG, Mobile Legends etc) there are detected touches but not registered.
What I mean is, when I tap on a button (take for example the fire button to fire your weapon) and lift my fingers up I can see the white dots (Show Touches on Dev Mode) but it doesn't click the button (not Registering the touch).
Anyone else ever seen this? I find this very very annoying.
For the sake of clarity: I use no screen protectors which mean it is pure hand to glass contact. I use all default settings (factory reset). All software are supplied by Samsung and I haven't done anything to them. All hardware parts are stock.
And somehow I noticed this: It won't register only if my other finger are controlling the D-pad which is on the left bottom side of the screen, meanwhile the fire button is on the far right screen.
I just factory reset my P10 on the newest pie version and noticed a concerning thing. When I enrolled just one finger print ex thumb then tried to unlock with any of my other fingers I world get a vibration of failure but if I kept on doing it quickly I could get access to my phone. I did get my wife to try the same method and she was unable to unlock phone. I tried the identify finger print in the setup menu and it identifies it correctly and will not see a non enrolled fingerprint as one that's enrolled. This is a somewhat concerning thing to me. Just wondering if others have had the same experience.
If it unlocks to you but not to your wife (same phone?), don't you maybe have your face registered for Face unlock - so it recognizes your face (not finger) and unlocks
Also, check Smart (un)Lock settings, it maybe unlocks based on trusted BT devices (or trusted places)
Good call. I guess tapping the finger sensor that many times wakes the device but not screen. I had to turn the screen almost sideways to make sure face unlock didn't see me tested then all worked correctly.
