For a short while when i was on stock and when i was stock rooted i could have fingerprint lock and have it so i could unlock it, and if 15 seconds had passed since the screen turned off, it would lock again, but if it hadnt and it had not secured it would give me the swipe unlock. I can still have the lockscreen wait, but it no longer goes to swipe, it just unlocks straight to what is open, which has caused some unfortunate pocket presses to happen causing purchases and the like. I was just wondering if its possible to return this functionality, i know theres secure settings but it does not allow for fingerprint unlock. Im on NG3 running dynamic kat 4.0 and have xposed, and I will list modules upon request.

Whenever I set up my phone with any sort of security, it keeps going back to swipe to unlock. If I try the PIN option, it only asks for a PIN when it first boots up. Once its up and running and I go to lock and unlock the screen, it says swipe to unlock. It does the same when I set up pattern, face, face with voice, pin, and password security. It always just goes back to swipe to unlock. I got this phone for my girl and I'm trying to convince her to switch to Android because she's a avid Apple user and uses PIN on her phone now and it works fine. She'll never accept this new phone if I can't even get this simple feature to work for her. The phone is stock no root nothing. All I did was throw some apps in for her. Am I missing something here? This works fine on my LG Optimus G Pro that's rooted but I can't for the life of me figure out why it wont work on the Active that's not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys.
Okay it seems to ask for the PIN when I leave the phone idle for a few minutes. Isn't it supposed to work as soon as I lock and unlock? Say I lock the screen and set it down for a sec and decide to pick it back up again to unlock it, shouldn't it ask for the PIN right away? If I don't give it time it doesn't bother asking to verify PIN. This phone is great and I'm so tempted to get a regular S4 for myself but issues like this irritate me to no end.
Go into Settings > Lock Screen > set it up how you want it > "Secured Lock Time" and check "Immediately"

This is strange, I'd like my phone to do just that. Require a PIN if I leave it locked for an hour, and default to swipe if it's within the hour so I can use lock screen widgets.
Could you get the swipe to appear when you lock it with the power key, or just when you left it for a minute?

From what I understand the timmer on the option my-blue-snog-box mentioned doesn't start till the lockscreen is active so it'll goto the swipe screen if you hit the power button or you leave it sitting and and autolocks.

Do you have Tasker? You can do it with the Secure Settings plugin (might need donate version).

there r 2 settings...screen off timeout and lock timeout after screen off.
the longest lock timeout is 30 minutes.
if the screen is off, pressing the home button before lock timeout will on the screen without any lock, not even swipe.
under settings, screen timeout is under display section while lock timeout is under lock screen section.
Hey @staverton, PM me. I'll make you a Tasker profile (or a little app so you don't need Tasker if you don't have it), but you need to let me know exactly what you want it to do.

Hi, as we know with official 4.4.2 update and sense 5.5 we can't unlock screen and go directly to the homescreen.
A simple question: is there an app or a mod that disable lockscreen in stock rom? If yes, it needs root, recovery etc? With these modifications, will I receive future OTA's update?
Thanks

I just updated to 4.4.2 w/ Sense 5.5 with an AT&T RUU and I'm able to disable the lockscreen. Under Settings>Security>Screen Security, there's an option "Bypass lock screen on wake". I enabled that w/ no screen lock and when I wake my phone I'm on my homescreen. If I set a PIN or Pattern lock, I'm on the screen to enter that once I wake the phone. No need to swipe up.
Perhaps that option isn't available in all variants. But I know it's different in 4.4.2 than 4.3. So maybe you're just overlooking it.

you're a lucky man even with that option activated, if I wake my phone there's a lockscreen (without pin or pattern lock, of course) and I have to slide up before going to homescreen

Okay, I dug into this a little deeper and found that I have an Xposed module that is enabling the "Bypass lockscreen on wake" setting when there is no screen lock. The module is called "Sense 5 Toolbox". The lockscreen bypass is an "always active mod" so I didn't even realize it was there. I disabled the entire module and tested the lockscreen bypass and I got the swipe up screen when no PIN or pattern was enabled. Set a PIN and the swipe up screen is gone.
I then re-enabled the "Sense 5 Toolbox" module, restarted the phone, then removed the PIN and now no swipe up screen.
--------
ADDED: You will need to be rooted to install the Xposed framework. Which means you'll most likely have a custom recovery. You can always flash back to stock recovery though. But once you root and start modifying stuff, the less likely it is that OTAs will install. But there are other ways to get updated. They may take a bit more work, but it's possible. Like I mentioned, I just updated to 4.4.2 & my device was rooted and a bunch of system stuff modified so the OTA wouldn't work as it was.

Ok, that's a great news! It's time to root
I just tried it with my Droid DNA running 4.4.2 kit kat, that I just upgraded. Root and s-off too.
It works!!!! Or appears to so far!
I assume I have to disable the module if I want to have a password.
The Xposed Framework I used was the .apk here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
Also, the module I found is called "Keyguard Disabler [1.3]" And you have to reboot after you set the option, then "check it" which makes it become active I think. Once you reboot, it works.
I just put the .apk for Xposed :goodn my http://futz.me public page, then clicked on the shortcut on my Android homescreen and downloaded it.
Thanks!

The stock 5.0 notification screen in nice, but kind of pointless on the Moto X since the Touchless controls do a much better job.
The problem is that it now takes two touches to get to the home screen where once used to suffice. Anyone figure out a way to bypass this yet?
On Verizon, so no root unfortunately
If you swipe up on the lock screen it will go to the homescreen with one swipe.

In Lollipop, you can set your security level to "none" instead of "swipe" as long as your guest account is disabled. If guest account is enabled, the "none" option isn't available.
You still have to swipe past the notification screen every time you hit the power button....

Huh? I'm talking about how to remove the swipe requirement. Just click on the aqua colored avatar in the upper right corner in quick settings. A dialog box appears and in the lower left is the option to "remove guest" account. Once you do that, "none" appears as option, in addition to the others (swipe, PIN, pattern) as a means of unlocking the device.
But I want to have PIN lock The Smart Lock setting will turn the pin off at home, but doesn't remove the need to swipe the Notifications screen away.

Annoyance
I agree with the original poster. This is unnecessary and annoying added step (swipe) to access the homescreen from a pattern, pin, password locks.
Hey all,
I may be completely missing something but I can't seem to get the fingerprint unlock on my AT&T S6 to work consistently. I've gone through the process and set up my fingerprint, but when i click the power button and back on, it asks me to swipe rather than use the fingerprint. At the bottom on the lockscreen I get a "swipe to unlock" message and when i touch/swipe the little water globule appears. I have to swipe to the right to unlock. What's extra interesting is when I reboot my phone, for first unlock (and only first) it asks for fingerprint unlock and unlocks appropriately by me placing my thumb on the sensor. Here's some additional information that may help:
1. Under lock screen and security settings, "Screen lock type" is set to "Fingerprints"
2. Under "Fingerprints" i have Fingerprint 1 which is my thumb
3. Web sign-in and Verify Samsung are currently Off
4. The problem is the same whether i use the power button on the right side of the phone, or press and hold home button, or single press home button then try to use thumbprint
Am i completely stupid and missing something? Seems totally weird to me that on first reboot and first unlock attempt it requires fingerprint, but any subsequent unlock is swipe only?
Thanks in advance for the help!

It hasn't completely locked. There is a option for it in security and go to secure lock settings and then secured lock time

Thanks a lot for this, it was driving me crazy trying to figure out why it wasn't working.:good:
Is it possible to enable the pull-down bar when on lock screen on the Huawei p20 pro ?
That would allow access to security settings, so would defeat the point of a lock.

He has a point, if you allow to slide down notification on lock screen, you can either glitch or bypass some how to access settings.
So this is why slide down isn't available on lockscreen to avoid this from happening.
Pretty sure stock Android allows this. Useful for toggling quick settings which don't really need security protecting. You would only be able to glitch past the lock screen if it was very poorly implemented.
True it does, but not safe that it does, so Huawei in a way did a good point to remove it on theirs to keep it more secure.
Not really. Every manufacturer allows for the notification shade to be expanded on the lockscreen while the phone is locked.
Only Huawei decided to be smarter and disable it completely. They just broke it. The feature was there on SW ver. 106. v.107 and later don't have it anymore. Along with expanding the notifications on the lockscreen in order to take action. Also something that stock Android as well as every other manufacturer has on their phones, but Huawei.
There is a topic about this in the P20 section of XDA.
I don't like it to be active in lock screen, so I'm really happy the way it is.

There is the slight bonus of a thief not being able to disable GPS and Mobile Data. They'll want to turn on the phone again at some point even if they do just shut it down. Unless it goes straight to being stripped down for parts I guess...
