I really like the Moto Display feature, it's one of the main reasons I bought the Turbo. However, it doesn't seem to unlock any custom lock screens I have installed. Does anyone know of a way to get it to unlock my device while using a custom lock screen?

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.
SOLVED
Hi,
I am using Moto X 2nd gen. from 6 months now and I just love it. However, there is one small thing that I keep wondering whether it is only with me or is it a bug or something.
I am running Android 5.0 and using the active display feature. When I tap the on screen lock/unlock icon, the unlock icon that goes to the bottom still shows as closed lock. It does not show as "unlocked" lock when I drag it down to unlock the phone.
I have already tried booting in safe mode and then back to normal mode again, but it does not work.
Is this a known issue, or is it just happening with me?
Thank you.
If in Active display if u hit the lock icon, at the bottom the lock is unlocked in the circle.
so by dragging you are moving from lock to unlock

Yes, that's what I was expecting but it was not happening.
By the way, I have got hold of it. It was showing as "locked" in circle when I dragged down because I am using a Pattern unlock security. So when I drag it down, it shows that my device has still got to be unlocked by using the Pattern. When I change the screen lock security to None, I can see the icon change to "unlocked" in the circle when I drag down.
Thanks to Motorola support member for suggesting this.
I hope this thread helps anyone else who is getting bugged by this.

I had auto-unlock when my phone has no IMEI. But I don't think it is useful for you.
I have a T-Mobile S6 but flashed Cleanrom for ATT. I noticed that while using the fingerprint unlock method the screen will still require swipe to unlock. In other words, I have my phone set to lock 3 minutes after the screen turns off. Normally if I turned the phone back on before the phone actually locked it would just pick up where I left off but now with the ATT rom it will ask me to swipe to unlock when I turn the screen back on before the phone actually locks. Is there any way to remove this?
That's pretty weird. My AT&T phone doesn't do that.
Did you get anywhere with resolving this? I'm running stock AT&T, not rooted, and annoyed that I unlock with fingerprint and need to also, subsequently swipe.
I found the solution to what may be the same issue you're having - though I am running the stock T-Mobile rom.
You need to turn off all the smart unlock features - trusted locations, devices, etc. For some reason, with those enabled, unlocking (often, but not always?) requires a swipe and fingerprint - but without them it works as you would want/expect.
I think this may be an attempt to give us a lock screen when the device stays unlocked, but if you unlock it with the fingerprint when it is already unlocked, it doesn't bother to even try reading your print, so it misses that you did something that couldn't be in your pocket. Very annoying.
I am trying to use Hey Google to trigger some Google Home actions while my screen is locked.
No matter what I do on the settings of Google Assistant, the phone always requires me to unlock the phone before carrying on the requested command ("Sure, but first you will have to unlock your device").
I believe that there should be several Hey Google results / actions that are available with a locked screen if personal results are enabled. So, is there a way to execute Home actions while the screen is locked?
As my plan B I tried to use Smart Lock so that the screen gets automatically unlocked when the smartphone is connected to a trusted bluetooth device. Nonetheless, I am still required to unlock my phone one first time after it connects to the bluetooth device, and after that the screen is no longer locked.
In this case is there a way to set Smart Lock in such a way that the screen does not require a first unlock using the pattern or fingerprint?
