i just bought lenovo k4 note and i just update thus phone to marsmallow
everything's going smoothly and i just notice that there are 2 things that i don't like
1. for nova user, if you use swipe down gesture to see notification, it will scroll very slow and that's not good
2. for everyone who using app to lock screen (i'm using double tap gesture to lock screen), you must enter your pin, pattern or password if you want to unlock your phone using fingerprint, and this is the real problem
for lenovo k4 note user, i just wanna ask that is there any reason that i need to stay in marsmallow? or i just need downgrade to lollipop?
sorry for my bad english

Hey all,
I may be completely missing something but I can't seem to get the fingerprint unlock on my AT&T S6 to work consistently. I've gone through the process and set up my fingerprint, but when i click the power button and back on, it asks me to swipe rather than use the fingerprint. At the bottom on the lockscreen I get a "swipe to unlock" message and when i touch/swipe the little water globule appears. I have to swipe to the right to unlock. What's extra interesting is when I reboot my phone, for first unlock (and only first) it asks for fingerprint unlock and unlocks appropriately by me placing my thumb on the sensor. Here's some additional information that may help:
1. Under lock screen and security settings, "Screen lock type" is set to "Fingerprints"
2. Under "Fingerprints" i have Fingerprint 1 which is my thumb
3. Web sign-in and Verify Samsung are currently Off
4. The problem is the same whether i use the power button on the right side of the phone, or press and hold home button, or single press home button then try to use thumbprint
Am i completely stupid and missing something? Seems totally weird to me that on first reboot and first unlock attempt it requires fingerprint, but any subsequent unlock is swipe only?
Thanks in advance for the help!

It hasn't completely locked. There is a option for it in security and go to secure lock settings and then secured lock time

Hi All
Can anyone help I don't get viber or email alert on lock screen I am on the latest official rom
Thank you
You should change the switch in notification setting of the keyguard, and in the app you would like to see in the lockscreen

What do you mean when you say you don't have the setting?
It should be there.
Lockscreen invisible
Hi Guys,
I have different problem regarding lockscreen. I use pattern lock or normal one. Many times when I hit double tap to wake or power button, my lockscreen is not visible at all. Directly I get my home screen. Sometimes it appears, sometime it vanishes. I am not rooted and on stock rom. I did factory reset as well but still same issue. Can anyone of you please help me?

I'm using Nova launcher on my X Performance, and I allowed the double-tap to wake up function. However, I am not able to wake my XP on with only 2 taps, I almost need to tap continuously to wake it up, for about 6 to 7 times. Even I use the original launcher Xperia Home, the tap to wake function is not working perfectly.
On the other hand, when I switch to the Xperia Home and use the double-tap to sleep function, it works every single time.
I didn't activate the Stamina mode so I believe the tap function is not restricted by the Stamina. I'm wondering this is due to the memory management of Android Marshmallow (The apps is more easily to restart on XP comparing with my old phone Z2 which is still using Android 5.X)?
Does anyone using X Performance also facing this problem? Any solution to this?

if you have a screen protector, it does not work well.

Hey Chrisy,
I didn't have any issues with it working, but I did notice the option for double-tap to sleep was ONLY available when Home Launcher was set as default. I too have used Nova FOR YEARS, but I like double-tap to sleep too much, so I am using Home Launcher as well. lol
I would maybe try a factory reset and if that doesn't work, I would return the phone and get a replacement. Unless you do use a screen protector (which I don't)? Then perhaps kms' statement does apply to you and you just need to remove it? If not, and factory reset doesn't fix it, I'd return it. Could be a sign of other issues to come.

Thanks for reply.
Yes, I'm using a glass screen protector. Maybe I will consider to remove it or change it in later time, since I don't want to waste it lol
I've bought and used Nova for a long time (I loves its backup function), but now I switch to the Home Launcher too lol At least the Home Launcher is customizable (though not as much as Nova does). Nova offers the tap-to-sleep function too, but it seems that on Marshmallow (or Sony device exclusively? I don't know), once the device is locked by third party apps, you cannot unlock it again with fingerprints (passcode/pin/pattern is needed to unlock in this situation). If I use Nova to tap-to-sleep, I need to use passcode to unlock it and the fingerprint sensor would do nothing. Sigh
chrisy,
YW.
Oh ok. Then that's most likely it then. Up to you when and/or if you want to remove it. lol
Yeah I used Nova's backup option too before. Yeah I'm glad Home lets you customize some things at least.
Yeah the lockscreen gets in the way and you have to enter PIN each time, which pretty much KILLS any enjoyment had with having the fingerprint scanner. lol I think the same issue happened on my S7, so I don't think it's just Sony (fortunately).
Nova is better but in this case it just makes more sense to stick with Home. I take screenshots of my apps that are on my desktop so on future phones I will know exactly which ones to put there w/o having to think about it. I recommend doing that too since Home doesn't have a backup feature like the one Nova does.
hi
is there a custom rom that enable to turn off the display of the p9 using the fingerprint or maybe touching twiche the display?
it's insane there is no option cusomize fingerprint to turn off the display
even the mate 8 has no such option ...is insane
in short i have to download an apllication to close the display just like when i did own a samsung galaxy s3
thanks
Please next time post these kind of threads in the q&a section
Try Nova launcher. It allows to add actions such as locking the screen with double tap on the screen.
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.

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
