Very odd problem - I am using GPS Joystick:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theappninjas.gpsjoystick
It works fine. However on the Note 5 I cannot lock the joystick. Are you able to lock it on your Note 5?You are supposed to be able to lock the joystick by tapping the center. I can lock the joystick just fine on 3 Nexus devices, so I know it's not something I'm doing wrong. For some strange reason I cannot do it on the Note 5. I followed instructions elsewhere for updating the touchscreen firmware (*#2663#) but this did not fix the problem. I also tried changing the AMOLED display mode. I also tried using the S-pen. I wrote the developer, but they are stumped - there is no reason this should fail. The joystick just won't lock on the Note 5.
I am on rooted stock 7.0 with the app in system mode.
Same device and Android version
I can't lock it either most of the time but if you were somehow able to tap directly in the middle it will lock properly
I had to press it 20 times to lock it with the note's stylus before it worked

I have this issue where when I unlock my screen, the touch screen is unresponsive with finger input. S-pen works fine, and all other buttons (volume, home, back, recent apps) works fine too. Just the finger touch stops working.
This issue happens when I unlock my screen 3rd or 4th time. In other words, if I unlock my phone first two times, it works fine but on 3rd or 4th time it will give me this issue. I have to lock and unlock the phone again with power button in order to get it working again.
Interestingly, this issue only happens when I don't have any screen lock setup. If I have any PIN, pattern lock or even swipe to unlock setup, the issue doesnt happen. I suspect that there is some bug with Firmware where it is waiting for the unlock to happen even when no screen lock is setup.
Anyone experiencing the same issue? Any solution for this?
Does none of the smart lock tools actually work with this phone? The trusted places option worked perfectly on my OPO, but with this phone, I'm always asked to input my pattern or fingerprint when I'm at home. It's not an issue if I'm just turning on the phone because the fingerprint is super fast, but sometimes I like to open a notification right from the lock screen, but I can't do that if the smart lock isn't working...
I am running OOS 4.0.3 and I an confirm that Smart Lock is working.
I have set a trusted device via Bluetooth, in this particular case my Bluetooth module in my car.
Here's what happens and hopefully this is what you expect.
When I am outside of my house and walking to my car, my phone is locked and requires my fingerprint.
I turn on my car and my phone pairs with my car, which then enables the Smart Lock feature.
I then turn on my screen on my phone and I see a Lock Screen but it is slightly different. The lock symbol located at the bottom has a circle around it indicating that the phone only requires a swipe to go to my home screen. It does not require my fingerprint or pin/pattern.
No matter what you do the Lock Screen is present when Smart Lock is functioning. So far I am ok with this.
If you are looking to never see the Lock Screen when Smart Lock is functioning then I am not sure if you can do that.
There could be a way using Tasker for example IF Bluetooth is Connected to Car, set Screen Lock timeout to never and that might prevent the Lock Screen from appearing.
WE would have to test this and I am not sure if Tasker can change the Lock Screen timeout.
I hope this helps.

It seems the trusted location is very spotty for me at the moment. Sometimes it works and others it doesn't.
I've got a similar problem. The phone never unlocks when I'm at a trusted location. It unlocks when I'm connected to a trusted Bluetooth though. I've set the location using both my address and by using the Google Maps screen. Nothing works.
I'm using a OnePlus 3T with the regular operating system.
Same here. Trusted location only seems to work for a few hours after adding/resetting a location. After that, it is no longer recognized. I did see an issue brought up in the Pixel forums about this issue, but clearly it's not confined to that device. Here's a few threads about it:

Hopefully they are still looking into the issue and will release a fix as part of Android O whenever that comes to the 3/3T. Or maybe it's something that OP could look into, but I doubt we'll get that fixed in a timely manner either way...
I have the opposite problem. Phone will always unlock without prompting for fingerprint or code, regardless of being in a trusted location or not. It's pretty annoying.

Screen lock doesn't work.
Hi! My problem kinda different. My OP3T screen lock doesn't work. I tried to turn off smart lock. Changing the screen lock type, still doesn't work. Even with fingerprints. So anybody can open my phone by swiping it up. Did somebody have the same problem? Should i upload the video of it and link it?
Hi, there might be some problem with my note 8.
I activate the instant unlock without swiping the lock screen for the iris recognition unlock.
the problem is something the iris camera will not shows up on the screen after i swipe up to check on the position of my eyes. it said 'if this keeps happening, please restart your phone'.
I wondering anything cause the iris camera not to appear on the screen.
The iris scanner still works well on capture my irises to unlock the phone, it is just that the iris camera do not appears on the screen (the one with the two circle to position your eyes).

Try factory resetting the device and check if the issue is still there. If yes, take the device to the samsung store for replacement. Mine works flawlessly. Much better than S8+ actually.

Hello ! I need help for a specific issue i have never heard happening on an android phone.
I have an Exynos S10e and the task/app switcher becomes partially unresponsive in specific conditions.
When the app switcher just appears, if i try to swipe somewhere (swipe to the side or swipe up to close an app) mid-way through the swipe, the screen suddenly stop recognizing my finger, i have to lift my finger and touch the screen again for it to function. Basically, i have to interact with the screen after the hardware layer updates to avoid this problem.
This issue only appears after the screen has been locked once in the session.
Basically if i reboot/shutdown my S10e, access my launcher and fiddle around with the app switcher, everything is fine. As soon as the screen locks and i unlock it, the issue reappears.
The problem exists with both the stock app switcher and the "task changer" from Good Lock. Also exists with both OneUi and Nova Launcher. I tried a lot of things and i'm up to date on the security updates, etc.
I wiped the cache partition, tried with and without the Always-On-Display, and that changed nothing.
Anyone experiencing the same thing ? Or a solution to suggest ?
(The issue also exists with my old Nexus 5 but the time window allowing the glitch to occur is extremely narrow.)

Accessing that area can be done on Samsung devices aswell. This is not a security flaw, that area is meant to be accessible from lock screen so if you need to turn flashlight on or similar things without needing to unlock your device.
But if you pick some of the buttons it will request you to unlock the device to do the action. Only some of the buttons can be used while on lock screen.
On Samsung if you touch WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile data and position tracking on lock screen it will then request you to unlock the device to be able to turn them off or on.
After checking my Asus Rog phone 2 I see what you mean now. It seems Asus didn't add such security, which they should.

yes asus keep every things accessible so if someone stole ur phone in 3 sec the phone will be in offline mode and lost for ever
in my Huawei they totally block using the above scroll bar and add some useful shortcuts on lock screen for flash and so on
You need to enter password to disable the data connection from the lock screen ...
