Anyone tried CM Locker on their S6? Says its the first locker that does fingerprint unlock on S6/Edge but can't get it working on mine. Wondering if others are having luck.
I have the same problem on a regular s6. There's pattern and pin for lock options but no fingerprint.
I'm using CM Locker on my S6 and it is working. The only thing is that it only gives you one try. If your fingerprint doesn't pass you HAVE to use the pin password.
I hope other lockscreens get fingerprint unlock soon. Is there any other?

it works fine for me... but a little slow. Fingerprint reader works well with it, and actually lets me try it 3 times before it pushes me to use my pin.
Check your settings on that?

Hi guys, i'm trying to use the fingerprint scanner but it seems after the first time i enable it and use it, it disables itself when i lock the screen again and try to use it. So after the first time it works fine, but then when i lock and try to unlock again it asks me to "swipe to unlock" rather than use the fingerprint scanner. so ultimately it changes to swipe unlock after the first time using the fingerprint sensor upon activating it in settings....is this an issue? im a samsung noobie btw
Did you adjust the security lock time out under the lock screen settings after you enabled the fingerprint lock?

goddamn it....secured lock time was set to 30 minutes
I figured it out! thanks for the heads up!
Ok, I want to be given the option of using either my fingerprint or number code on the lock screen. Seems like I have to pick one or the other.
Am I missing something or do I need another lockscreen app?
Anyone?
I use the fingerprint and it gives me the option to type in the backup code I had specified in setup for the fingerprint option. They allow this in case the fingerprint doesn't work (like if you cut your finger, etc.). Also you can specify up to four fingers which I have done...

if your finger print scanner not working or not recognised then it will ask for password.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply folks. I do get that it defaults to a code if the fingerprint fails.
My reason is that I work in a lab where I am required to wear gloves, no option for fingerprint scanning, so I have to use an unlock code at work.
My wish was that when I set it for fingerprint, it would also show the numer unlock, thus giving me two options.

No, my lock screen says to use the fingerprint scanner but also has a button labeled "use backup password" (which works). I'd show you a screen snapshot but that functionality is disabled on the lock screen of course. I think that button only appears after a failed fingerprint scan. So how come you can't just use it that way? Just touch the fingerprint scanner to your nose or something and then the button would appear!?!?
Hi guys,
I've been looking for a different lock screen from Magazine as it doesn't have some features that come in really handy (e.g. swipe to open/dismiss and above all a calendar/schedule widget). So far, Hi locker is the one that I found better suited to me. However, I have a problem: the phone does not allow me to use fingerprint unlocking without having password, pin or pattern. So, either I have a double lock screen (worst part, Magazine shows first!) or I cannot use the fingerprint sensor. Is there any way to solve this? Or at least have a basic calendar widget in the default lock screen? Thank you in advance!

Hi,
What's magazine you see this app? I am author of Hi Locker, I know bug and all lock screen apps have this bug... (reason is google).

Magazine is the default EMUI lock screen. It would also be a nice workaround to have Hi locker show up before EMUI lockscreen
After update to Android 9.0 with my P20 Pro (without factory reset). I found a problem with Magazine Unlock, it doesn't change randomized lock screen.
What should I do?
Thanks

Maybe your magazine unlock is paused. When your phone is locked try to swipe up from bottom of the display. There you will get resume/pause(||) option. Resume it. Let's us know if issue still persists.

Currently having the same problem as the OP. One moment it was working fine, and now it doesn't work at all. I have the magazine unlock setting on and ticked all the boxes and when I lock my phone it just shows the home screen wallpaper. I've checked the settings on the lock screen itself, there is a lock icon but when I press on it nothing happens. If I add my own images into the magazine unlock folder, they work fine and like the magazine unlock feature should work, but I really enjoyed seeing the random photos that would appear before. I honestly can not find a fix for this and I don't really want to factory reset my phone, so would really appreciate if someone has a work around for this.
Found the answer

You need to unlock your lockscreen wallpaper
Now, go to you lockscreen then swipe up from bottom
There are several settings there..
Press the locked icon
And you can change the time or another setting for your lockscreen wallpaper
So you can have your random magazine again..
Hope it helps you
I tried going through your steps DTsPro but sadly it wouldn't work. Like I said if I add my own pictures to the magazine unlock feature it works no problem and I can use the swipe up unlock/lock feature on the lock screen with those images, the moment I delete them and try to use the built in magazine unlock images, I just get a static image and I'm unable to select any of the icons on the lock screen settings however it says on wallpapers and themes that magazine unlock is selected... It is a very weird and somewhat annoying problem that I just can't seem to find a solution for, but thank you for at least trying to help
Same as me p20 I have problem as well. Magazine unlock, whatever I do it doesn't work at all. Any help plz
On lock screen swipe from bottom of screen. It will show couple of options. Don't let screen unlocked with face recognition or fingerprint. These options appears on the lock screen when you swipe from the bottom of screen on locked screen. There is a lock icon on these option, tap on it and unlock it. It will show message that screen will change everytime. Try these options with cool mind. I was not able to figure it out for weeks. But now I have and it work like charm.
simple solution as it might sound, but change your theme and keep going through the process untill it shows the pop-up msg asking you if you want to keep or discard Magazine unlock and choose to keep, Voiala it goes back again.
Recently updated my redmi 9t with the new miui 12.5. After that i'm unable to unlock screen with fingerprint when using downloaded theme. It works if i use stock theme. Anyone knows how to somehow fix this. Your help is highly appreciated.
Hi,
I have the same problem. I didn't downloaded any theme or pictures, anything, all is in default, and still get that msg.
What is stock theme? After upgrade I got some picture on lock screen with snow and mountains.
Hi severac, stock theme is the standard theme (classic theme). I have tried to clear cache and memory for the theme app. The problem is still there.
Another problem i have is whenever i tried to change wallpaper for downloaded theme lockscreen it will change to the standard theme lockscreen.
Are you able to unlock screen with your fingerprint somehow?
After the new theme app update, unlock with fingerprint not working anymore. Even on standard theme. Uninstalling the update doesn't help either. Hope they fix this in the upcoming update.
Hmm, I managed to unlock my screen with finger. I can unlock it when screen is turned off by itself, for example, after 2 minutes. Then if I put my finger it unlock the phone. But, If I lock my screen with some app, like tap to lock, one touch to lock or similar, it doesn't unlock it with fingerprint after that.
Mine works only if the screen turned off with an app opened. Deleting and readding the finger print doesn't do anything.
Thanks for your feedback mate.
Guys, how did you get passed the lockscreen? my note 8T updated, and now I cannot get passed the lockscreen, I never set a password, only a pin and fingerscan. All it's asking for is a password.
Help. I do not want to wipe data etc
