when phone is on bed or table and you want to check time or notification you have to every time pick up phone and unlock it, thats very frustrating

if u need to read time and notifications without unlock the phone so u can use "wave lock" from play store and enable only the unlock,and for better response only cover the front camera by your hand or touch it to enter to lock screen to check time and notifications.
this application is battery friendly

After it opened to lock screen it forces me to key in my pass code and says administrator locked device, which disabled my finger print scanner unlock function. Uninstalled.

He means the application that he just installed requested device administrator which ends up disabling the fingerprint scanner for security purposes. Are you able to use the fingerprint scanner fine when installing and using the unlock option provided with that?

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 . ?

I think you mean trusted voice. We have been discussing it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3080644
However, it seems Google may have stopped the roll out due to issues.

No double tap to wake?

Have they really removed double tap to wake? Huge dealbreaker when the fingerprint scanner is at the back of the phone.

Unfortunately Huawei removed it. Coming from LG G3 it took some time to get used to it. But the placement of the fingerprint sensor is very good indeed. I do prefer the back of the phone to the front.

If you have root try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/enable-double-tap-to-wake-t3312676
I haven't gotten around to root mine yet, so will update later if it works. I've checked the files though (you can read them without root, but not modify) and all the entries are there, so it's supported just not enabled. Seems Huawei disables DT2W by default on devices with fingerprint scanners even though support is there. Makes no sense to me, but it is what it is.
I have a long list of things I need to do once I have root

dt2w setting appears but after enabling it does not work.
This is bad news but I'm pretty sure there must be a way to enable it somehow Since support is clearly there.
There must a be reason why Huawei is disabling DT2W feature..
Probably DTW has been disabled in all their new smartphones with a fingerprint sensor (ex. Mate 8): is it not compatible with lock/unlock security?
AFAIK the Honor 6 Plus which has recently been updated to Android 6 keeps the DTW function, so apparently it's not related to Marshmallow.
The finger print sensor is actually fast and good.
And it is actually placed beautifully. Easy to use
True, but when the device is placed on a table and you want to check time there is only the power button.
In 80% of cases the FP sensor is fine. For the other 20% it would be nice to have the option.
Hai dear friend if you are ready to use third party apps then we can have a solution.
Try this app it just works fine in unlocking the screen by double tap.

On my H7 with B330 Digirom 4.2 I have dt2w.
Go to Settings -> Smart assistance -> Motion Control -> Double touch (at the bottom)
Edit: Sry guys, not sure how I came upon the P9 forum, thought I was in H7
This kind of apps not need a rooted device or something?
Missing dt2w is the only flaw of this phone... Really hope they do something about it with nougat.

If fingerprint is enabled then dt2w is irrelevant anyway

Kinda. In most cases it's fine. It would still be nice to have the option. You know when the phone is laying flat on the table and you want to check time or notifications...

If your screen is always on, your Huawei P9's battery will die really, really fast. You don't want your screen to be always on because it is a non-IPS display panel.
i told you guys use application like wave to unlock and lock
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kimcy92.wavelock
it use proximity sensor to wake the phone,no battery draining.but be sure to choose in the settings "unlock only" option.working very good

How to turn on double tap feature in this phone
I played with a P9 on display in a store last week, it did have double tap to wake.

Fingerprint Applock which can use specific fingerprint?

Our device can have upto 5 fingerprints. Does anyone know if there is some app that can lock the apps only with the fingerprint I specify.
Like for eg. I have 5 fingerprints of two different persons and I don't want the other person to unlock a specific app through his/her fingerprint.
Instead I specify that say that so and so app will be unlocked through Finger 1.
Is this even possible??

There's a feature called app locker in security and fingerprint and that allows to set up different apps to be opened only with fingerprint or other secured methods like pin password or pattern

Yes but that uses all the available fingerprints, not a specific fingerprint which i can specify
Bump... Anyone??
No I don't think that's possible.
Bumping again with hope
Sorry
maybe download another app lock app from the play store and register only your fingerprints?

I dont think any such feature exist in Android. I had this feature in my jail broken iPhone where we can assign different actions for all registered fingerprints. I am also looking forward to get this feature in Android .

I see no developer has replied on this thread yet. The feature does not exist but if iPhone can have it then Android can too.
Hope to see a skilled developer here who can make this possible.
Thank you

Fingerprint without hold and slide gesture

Hi guys I just bought honor 5c nem-ul10(one which printed in my phone)/nem-l51 in indonesia. It has fingerprint and works fine. But it bothers me when the setting configuration for fingerprint can be used for shutter, swipe for notification, swipe for browse photo, etc. I turned on all that functions but my fingerprint cant do any othet than just for unlock phone and app lock security. Is there any explanation for this? Ive browse through the forum and seems not find any relatable topic. Thank you
mine works but only while its on upwards, not on landscape mode.
Is there anything I can do? But you are from finland right (your profile) so theres might be different configuration or smthg

It worked for me. I taped the screen against my arm and the fingerprint reader didn't light up as it did with the old firmware. It still lights up if I tap it with an unregistered finger at the reader only and finally opens the lockscreen after a lot of taps, but this doesn't happen in a pocket.
Not available for me, I am on MIUI-V10.2.27.0.PFAEUXM. Where is the option for you?

There is no option to set it. As I said pocket mode is on by default, you can't turn it off. Works well for me, no more pocket photos!
