Lock screen

I don't think my lock screen is working correctly. I have is set to no pin or password but once I wake the screen with the power button if I tap anywhere on the screen it unlocks. Previously on Sense you need to drag the lock or an icon into a ring on the screen. Is this how its supposed to happen now?

I would go into your sellings > lock screen and see if the quick launch apps are disabled. That's the only thing that comes to mind :fingers-crossed:

I can remember watching a video on YouTube about HTC tips and tricks or something and one if the things the guy was showing was the ability to unlock the phone from anywhere in the screen, I actually liked the idea if this however on mine you have to drag the lock item up.

He said to just swipe up to unlock. It didn't sound as if there was any setting that had to be changed.

Well it dose not work that way on mine, I have to grab the lock or one of the shortcuts.

I've tried all the settings I could find but can't seem to stop it unlocking just by a touch.

I'm no expert, but that sounds like a screen/digitiser issue.

Have you tried a restore?
Also, try going to a long-ish website on it (or something else that you can scroll through) then just tap once at around the same place as the lock-clock would be, see what happens when you do that.

The single touch unlock seems to be caused by services activated under the "accessibility settings" (German: "Eingabehilfe"). This concerns Tasker, Lightflow etc. Set these to off and you need to swype to unlock.

I'm sure it's not your digitizer. It's the settings. This used to happened on my htc hd2 as well sometimes. I don't remember the settings of sense but if you do not find them just restore it to factory settings and it should be fine.

You're absolutely right. Thanks for solving this mystery for me.
I received my One today and at some point during the installation of my apps started experiencing the same problem: the lock screen unlocked with a single touch instead of a swipe. Turns out its normal function returns when I switch off all accessibility services.
Which is annoying, because I need those accessibility settings for Tasker and for my Pebble. I wish HTC made this a separate option instead of assuming that as soon as you activate one accessibility option, you must be physically unable to move your thumb accross the screen... :-/
It's not just that the lock screen doesn't really lock anymore; in the "productivity" setup, I can't swipe beyond the first calendar entry because it disappears at the first touch. I really hope HTC fixes this in an update soon.

I am having the same problem. This issue occurs also when you have to turn Accessibility Service on for apps like "Notify me" etc. The lockscreen unlocks with every single touch...
Does someone have a solution for this?
Thanks in advance

I've opened a support ticket yesterday on htc.com and described the issue. Haven't heard back from them yet, but it's weekend of course.
Maybe if we all contact support they'll become aware of the issue and we'll get a solution sooner?

Got a reply today:
Thank you for your email regarding your HTC device. Unfortunately we dont know what 3rd party apps will do to the phone and therefore we cant support 3rd party apps. If you dont like the fact that your screen can be unlocked by a single touch i would advise you to remove the 3rd party app(s) or talk to the developer of those apps. If you have any further questions you can reply to this email.

So I wrote back:
Hello,
I wouldn't say those third party apps are responsible. They require accessibility services for certain features, but they do not in themselves affect the lock screen behaviour.
I believe it is the HTC Sense software that automatically (and unnecessarily) sets the lock screen to open at a single touch when any accessibility setting is used. I understand this issue cannot be solved at the moment, but I do hope a future update will introduce the option for the user to choose the lock screen behaviour himself.

We dont have a current solution for this but i am sure there will be a update in the future to solve this.

What kind of customer support is that
The bloke is basically washing his f*cking hands of it, what a joke.
This is p1ss poor it really is.... might have to see if there's another possible lockscreen i can use, i wouldnt mind so much but if my phone rings in my pocket its game over, picks it up without me even getting a chance to answer it

Tiny call confirm is your friend. Puts a lock on the screen, tap it then answer, works like a dream
I know all this is a pain in the backside, but in the meantime it's an answer to the problems we're facing at the moment

Basically, yeah...
Thanks for the tips -- didn't know about the second one yet.
I'm a bit surprised there aren't more people reporting this problem. A lot of forum users here must be using Tasker, I can imagine, and have its accessibility service enabled, and therefore must experience the same lock screen defect. It's the only thing that really bothers me about this phone (apart from the fact that Zoe is practically unusable with Dropbox auto upload).

its called google now. enable it, turn on all the options.. then, when the phones screen is off, unplugged or plugged in, say ok google, and itll wake your device up. if thats not what you meant, the nexus 6 doesnt have any other way to unlock your phone with voice. oh, btw, questions go into the q&a section, not into general.

My google now is enable but I can't see and voice unlock feature on my smart lock list . ?

Trusted voice

Has anyone with a rooted N6 received that trusted voice security feature? I've haven't seen it on my phone since it became available, but it shows up on my brother's N5 (unrooted)

Ok, but there's no option to unlock the phone by saying "ok Google". That's what trusted voice mainly does

Can't setup as new device

Hey folks
I'm having trouble setting up my Nexus 6 as a new device.
I am on the developer preview 3 and I have tried both logging out of my google account and factory resetting. I have also reflashed the preview that that would work.
However all I can do is restore from a backup but I want to setup as a new device. I can select it from the drop down menu which is weird but it won't allow me to select done.
Is this some sort of Android 6.0 feature?
Thanks for any help.

You need to remove your Google account before Factory Reset. That feature is in place since 5.1.

Not trying to be smart or say you didn't do it right, but I had the same issue several times and always just needed to turn to landscape and then hit the button. Just doesn't detect or something in portrait. I'd try again and just tap around in that area.

Annoying prompt upon unlocking with fingerprint

I know this is kind of a weird thing to be on about, but does anyone get a prompt saying "phone unlocked with fingerprint" prompt at the top of your phone? It only happens when I unlock it when not using the phone for a long period of time. Can I disable it?

Do you mean a notification that you have to clear, or like a toast notification? Are you stock or on a custom ROM? When you restart your phone, does it ask for your pin or password the first time? If so does that give you a similar message?

I have the Sprint version, idk if it's an app that's creating it or something with Samsung, I'm running Evie launcher if that matters.

I've seen this every once in a while but i can't recreate it for some reason. Are you talking about the quick toast message that has a white background and says " Phone unlocked with fingerprint" with a lock symbol in it? If so do you happen to use Lockstar from the Goodlock apps?

Ok now it showed even though I have been unlocking it often, I'm convinced that it is totally random.

It's not random for me. Only pops up when I'm using an app while the phone is locked (Maps, phone call, etc).

First of all this isn't a issue. Samsung has probably made this notification to appear, since some have iris and fingerprint set. So if you decide to unlock the phone with iris and you accidentally put your finger on fingerprint on the back. Then this notification appears to inform you, that you unlocked your phone with fingerprint instead of iris. So it's completely normal and nothing you can remove.
