App: Fingerprint quick option

not "fingerprint quick option".

Does anyone have problem using fingerprint to unlock the screen??
I dont really like locking screen using power button but rather use gesture and apps. After updating to Android N EVA-L19C626B320 Official. I cannot normally unlock the screen like before. It keeps asking for password every single time.
EXCEPT when I use power button to lock the phone.
Any idea?

It's normal. Since it not a "user (you)" action but an "admin (you by an app)" action, the system protects your data. You'll not be able to "fix" this since it's supposed to work like this.

Nougat' security policies are maybe stricter than before

I found out that Nova launcher let the choice to the user how to lock the screen :
By administrator (you won't be able to use fingerprint scanner to unlock)
By displaying a black screen while waiting for the phone to go in sleep mode (you will be able to use fingerprint scanner to unlock)

Yeah I just contact Nova's developer and they claim to be an issue now.
"Unfortunately this is a known issue in which there is a pop-up window within Nova that tells you about this and that there is a work around if you are rooted. Unfortunately there's no native work around if you're not rooted, however, you can go to the Google Play Store and purchase Screen Lock Pro(this app is not ours) and you can use it as a work around for this issue as well."
I'm having fingerprint problems too. It does not let me set up a new fingerprint anymore and doesn't work in any situation. Worked perfectly since 1 day ago. Using the beta 7.0 android... Any tips?

Your problem is a bit troublesome. Try reset?
I tried to reset, but it still does the same. I did a backup restore and didn't try to use the fingerprint before that. I'll try again tomorrow and see what happens.
Still no hope of fixing the issue din
You need to disable smart unlock. Go to Settings>Security>Trusted Agents disable any smart unlock enabled.
Additional: If you're using Greenify you must enable the "Alternate Screen Off Mode"

Did you find any solution? I have the same issue
If you have root there are two apps that I know of that work perfectly for locking the screen through software:
-->Gesture Control, works very well, just assign any gesture to screen off.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol&hl=de
and
-->Boeffla Screen off, has a slight delay between pressing the button and the screen actually locking, ~1sec nothing bad, but otherwise works very well. Also you can assign this app as an "assist app" meaning your long press home button becomes your screen off button
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.andip71.screenoff&hl=de
If you don't have root I guess this would be a reason to go for it!

It's better to use Nova launcher gesture method. Simple and no need for additional app

Hm but nova gestures only work when you're on one of the nova homescreens. My methods work everywhere at all times. I guess that's personal preference but I wouldn't say nova is better...
Huawei P9 Lite Fingerprint Settings Missing
Hi please help . After updating my Huawei P9 Lite to Android 7.0 I cant find the fingerprint settings anymore. I've tried to wipe my phone several times but still nothing is changing at all . I'm thinking of downgrading now to 6.0
Hey guys, just wanna share an app that I found to be very useful.
I always wanted to have a lock screen key at navbar so that I can lessen my power button usage while still able to lock screen at any moment. And also camera shortcut that allows me to launch camera anytime.
Now I can swipe from edge or double tap navbar to lock the screen, I can long press back button to launch camera as well.

Yea I think that is the issue. I forgot to mentioned on the first post. You have to root your phone to use its full functionality.

Hey guys
Why fingerprint unlock doesnt work after double tap to screen lock/off? Is there any way to achieve that. Everytime u double tap to make screen off , the next time u wake ur phone using fingerprint, it just ask for password. So u r stuck with only one option to press power button then apply fingerprint.
I hate pressing buttons:crying:

Nova-launcher explains this. Get the Nova settings page up, scroll to the bottom, unfold the advanced options, click on "screen lock method".

You can use pixel launcher mod from xda but you need to be rooted to double tap to sleep
If you have the Always On Screen option turned on, you can double tap the screen at any time to wake it up. No app needed.

Hi guys,
I'm using a fingerprint scanner to unlock my phone and I'm used to going directly to the application after clicking on the notifications from the lock screen. Now, with screen built-in fingerprint scanner, when I click on the notification from the lock screen, it will first ask me to provide a password (password is enforced by my company), then I have to click on the small fingerprint icon and only then I can unlock the phone using my fingerprint. With my previous phones, i.e. OnePlus 6 which had a fingerprint scanner at the back, I was able to save this one click on the screen. I know it's nothing tragic but still, if you'd have an idea how to set it up that after clicking on a notification it doesn't ask me for a password but for fingerprint scan, I would really appreciate your help!
Cheers

Double tap on notification and then it opens password section but u can jump in app with fingerprint also. Thats how it works for me by default, i didnt mess with that what so ever.

Thanks. But to jump in app with fingerprint you need to first click on the fingerprint icon in the bottom of the screen and only after verify your fingerprint, right? I would love to skip that step of clicking on the fingerprint icon.

Aha thats what u meant. Well i dont think it is possible if u r locked with fingerprint. U have to roll it if u want to get into app, i mean thats why fingerprint exists, for security reasons.

I don't want to get rid of the fingerprint scanning itself but to get rid of touching the fingerprint icon when the password prompt comes up. I hope it's clear now [emoji28]
