Ok I'm feeling a little dumb lol. On thr AT&T variant, the fingerprint sensor is not waking up the device when locked and screen off. Am I just missing a setting somewhere?
The international version works just fine to wake up and unlock screen, but the AT&T version doesn't.
Any input?
Works for me

My att note 8 works as expected with this. Maybe a setting i forgot about enabling. Perhaps power save more disables this ? Are you using power save?
Edit- tested with power save. This doesn't seem to be the culprit.
Ok there's a setting where you scan in your prints. It's a toggle you must enable. That should do the trick.

Yup it's under lock screen and security then smart Lock. You wanna select the first option and it should automatically unlock to home screen when using your fingerprint.

Screenshot didn't come through, but if you mean the fingerprint unlock toggle, yes I have it on.
Could you fix the problem?
Could you fix the problem? I bought Galaxy S9+ AT&T version and it seems has the same problem.

The only way I could get it to work was to set screen to lock immediately with power button. Can't remember the exact setting title, but I think it's Settings/secure lock settings
Basically if you set the screen to lock as soon as it turns off it'll trigger the fingerprint to turn on screen immediately.
It worked!!! Thank you very very much. Really appreciate it. I was one step farther to return the phone.

I just wanted to say thanks. I flashed my unlocked Note8 with the AT&T firmware to see if it is worth the bloat. On the unlocked firmware I never had to make that change, it was always on. I don't know why I didn't think to check that setting and I don't know why AT&T would set it to ten minutes, there are so many things that can happen in ten minutes. Thanks!

Do you mean that once you unlock your device using the fingerprint, and then lock your device, it doesn't ask for the fingerprint again? If so, that's because you need to change the "secured lock time". It's under Settings > Lock screen > Secured Lock Time. Set the timer lower or have it instantly lock whenever the display turns off.

This is what I had to do. It is unfortunate the fingerprint reader only lets you register 3 fingers.

Thanks that fixed it. Didn't see that option
It's been my experience so far that the default setting out of the box allows you to unlock the phone for a few minutes without requiring a fingerprint just in case you locked your phone & forgot to one last thing.
Of course, I can see the benefit of setting the time-out for this feature if one has a very suspicious mate or is doing things to warrant a mate to be suspicious.
I'm surprised, the reviews made it seems like fingerprint wasn't reliable but it's great. Even had my girlfriend try it. No GS5 for her.

If you watch some of the video reviews, not all...but some, it looks like they were trying to make it malfunction on purpose to make it look bad.
I still get a bad read every once in awhile, but I'm at probably a 99% success rate. I'm *very* pleased.
I was playing with Light Flow yesterday seeing if the supposedly LED works, well now Ambient display does not work. I have uninstalled Light Flow thinking that was the issue. Any clues? Disabled and reenabled AD, still no dice.
I had my phone set to lock after 30m, so Ambient display only works if you phone is locked with some sort of security.
There's no LED notification light on the phone so maybe it messed something up? My ambient display works without and secure lock.
Has anyone tried dyanmic notifications on the nexus 6 yet to see how it works?

It'll work if you have PIN, password or slide. Will not work if you have lock after X minutes of sleep.

I have my lock immediately anyway. I use my Motorola skip when I go out so I don't have to enter a pin or password and it's handy.

It's funny because motos site says it only works with the moto x 1st gen but clearly it works On any lolipop nexus. It works for my nexus 9 too.
Why does the phone have to be locked for ambient display to work? Do any of your devices "breathe" when locked? Mine only shows the initial notification but nothing after that unless I pick it up.
I find the ability to pin a screen off memo to the AOD very useful, cause I get quite busy at work and tend to forget to follow up with things, and this kind of forces me to see it. However, screen off memo seems a little finicky in terms of how long it stays up for, making sure my screen is actually locked when I pull out the pen, etc. Sometimes if I have the phone already on and I want to pin a note, I have to lock it, put the pen in, then pull the pen back out just to get screen off memo to activate.
Is there a way to just pin any note I make in samsung notes to the AOD? This would be a lot more usable in many situations.
I also am looking for a solution to this. My scenario is very similar to yours.
The closest option I could find was pinning a note to the home screen.
I am hoping this is just a minor oversight by Samsung and the function may be added in something like "SmartLock"

Activate screen off memo by locking screen while spen is out and double tapping it by spen button pressed.
Always worked for me. No need to reinsert spen.
Neat feature to add multiple screen off memos too.

Ya? I cant get that to work. Two taps doesn't do anything.
I did note that you can change the Note Type in the Notes app. I changed one to a screen off memo but I still cant get it on lock screen :crying:

It one click of the spen button if your spen is already out and you turn off the screen. Make sure the spen is hovering over the screen or it will just try to unlock your phone.

This works. Also, if you already have a pinned note, it can be edited by just tapping the note with the s pen.
Hi,
So when I get a call, that I do not want answer or decline, I switch off the screen by pressing the lock button. As soon as the screen turns off, it lights up again. It bothers me a lot. I thought maybe I'm using the finger to lock which has its fingerprint registered. So, I tried locking it with other finger and the result remained the same. When my phone rings, I want my phone's screen to turn off when I press the lock button but it does not do so, not completely because it lights up again immediately.
Is anybody else facing this issue? Is there a way to fix it? I did not have this problem in my previous phone. So I guess it is an issue and not a part of normal operation.
Thank you!

Try removing all the registered fingerprints , just use A Pattern/PIN and check if your issue is solved. Do report back.
Hello, i found that the moto display shows up too often. For example, my phone is laying on the table playing a song from spotify with the screen turned off. If the volume is quite high it happens that the vibrations from the phone speakers are strong enough to activate the moto display. It's annoying and batter draining i guess... Any solution? Thanks
Yes, I experienced the same. Pick up to wake is too sensitive, so with just a minimal vibration the screen turns on. I switched this option of and only have the option 'tap to wake' activated.
