A few weeks/months back I did some setting in my Nexus 6 that sets the screen unlock pattern whenever the phone boots.
i.e. when the phone boots, it asks you to enter you screen unlock pattern in order to boot.
Now I want to disable that so that I don't have to unlock my screen in order to boot. But I am not able to find that setting... I don't remember where it was. I looked under Security...Smart Lock...etc... can't find it. Where is that setting?
I haven't rooted or unlocked the phone. So it must be some default setting (which I am not able to find now).
In security- Change Screen Lock to None or Swipe.. This'll release your problem..
Then check in pattern lock again. There is the option available, which you mentioned..

Thanks! I should have looked at that.
This will be the option

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 set up the fingerprint scanner to unlock my screen exactly how it's supposed to be done, within the menus. I set up and registered my fingerprint without a problem. But, when I lock the screen, then go to unlock it, it has defaulted to me swiping the screen. If I restart the phone, the first time I have to unlock it, it asks for my fingerprint. I do that, then if I lock the screen again, it once again defaults to swipe. I dont understand why it doesn't stay on for every unlock. Someone help me, this is annoying.

System Settings > Lock Screen > Secured Lock time. What does it say here? change this to what ever you desire. Instant to 1 hour. mine was 10 min default I think. I use 3.
It said 10, you were dead on, that fixed the problem. Thanks so much for your help.

I have my lock screen set up as a pattern, and sometimes it'll just bi pass the entire lock screen and turn my phone on right to my home screen. Has anyone had this and have a fix?

In settings -> security
There is an option called automatically lock, set it to "immediately" and it will lock at instantly when the screen goes off. If it is set to anything else, it is possible to use the phone without the pattern until that time is reached.

There is a setting in security where u can chose power button instantly locks. Look for the option power button, not automatically lock.
I do have knowledge with android, im not a total air head! If I don't have a pin or pattern set up, and just slide, then it doesn't bi pass it.
I have my lock screen set for fingerprint. If the device is shutdown or restarted, the lockscreen asks for a fingerprint. After that if the power button is pressed to shut off and lock the screen, the next time it is turned on the lockscreen asks for just a swipe. It wont ask for a fingerpring again until the system is restarted again. Anyone else have this problem? Solutions?
You have to go into settings and set the power button to lock device. Or you can change the settings to lock device after a certain period of time.
It's under Lockscreen/Secure Lock Settings

You can also set it to not lock if it's connected to a certain device, like a Bluetooth.
This is a god sent because it's always been a pain to unlock the phone in a car after it's gone to sleep and you are streaming music from it.
Thanks! That was driving me crazy. I knew it was there, but couldn't find it.
I know what you mean! It was confusing the heck out of me in the beginning but then caught on.
How do one wish to switch back to just a simple swipe after choosing fingerprint unlock
The SWIPE option is now greyed out ??
unlock fingerprint Note 5
Hello, by mistakenly i am facing issue of unlocking my Note 5 from fingerprint lock also i don't remember backup password..
dont want to loose my pictures / data, cannot able to unlock it from google sign in, because its Mobile Data and Wifi was on Off Mode...
Now dont know what to do... please help me in step wise !!
Thanks and Best Regards
So I have set a PIN and also recorded biometric data (Fingerprints and Face). The
PIN seems to be the default method. Is there any way to make either my fingerprint
or face recognition the default (w/PIN as backup)? It's not obvious
TIA
it will always want your pin at bootup. after that biometrics should take over if they're stil turned on.

Does not behave like that. For example if I turn screen off using a double tap, then when I touch the screen to turn it on it still wants the PIN after I swipe up???? It says "Enter your PIN as required by the security policy" ??
