I have tried in my lock screen settings to change to pin or pattern but no matter what after I re-lock my phone I still get the option to swipe the screen and there is no pin or patter it goes right to the home screen. I am probably missing an option but there was no alternative options on my Galaxy S3. Any help guys?
Hi guys, i'm trying to use the fingerprint scanner but it seems after the first time i enable it and use it, it disables itself when i lock the screen again and try to use it. So after the first time it works fine, but then when i lock and try to unlock again it asks me to "swipe to unlock" rather than use the fingerprint scanner. so ultimately it changes to swipe unlock after the first time using the fingerprint sensor upon activating it in settings....is this an issue? im a samsung noobie btw
Did you adjust the security lock time out under the lock screen settings after you enabled the fingerprint lock?

goddamn it....secured lock time was set to 30 minutes
I figured it out! thanks for the heads up!
So I'm trying to use alternative lock screens like Picturesque and Next Lock Screen on my Nexus 6 running Chroma ROM.
This doesn't seem to be ROM specific.
I have a PIN, and I use Smart Lock with a pebble and locations for work and home.
On both lock screen apps, when I swipe to unlock I am presented with another lock screen, the stock lock screen, so I have to swipe a second time.
So Next lock screen - I swipe down to unlock, then I'm presented with another lock screen with notifications on it, where I have to swipe up to unlock (stock lock screen).
This is likely user error, but I can't figure it out how to only use 1 lock screen. Thanks for the help!
In android settings > security don't you just need to set the lock screen to none?

I guess without doing that only the 3rd party lock screen will be visible. Tried with go locker. Never had this duplicate luck screen issue. Though I used to have such issues with my galaxy s3 sometimes with a specific lock screen app.

That would work, but then I would lose all security on my phone (no pin unlock as a result of setting no lock screen).
This happened on other ROM's so I don't think it's specific to Chroma, but nobody else seems to be having this issue..?

Maybe you need a custom rom. Some have the option to turn swipe off when a PIN / Pattern is applied. At least on KK they did.
IMHO< The stock lock screen is too good to pass up so maybe not many people have tried. Or maybe some lockscreen apps seek to use root to turn off stock swipe (again they used to try)
I guess I'm going to hope this issue is fixed with 5.1.
I have found many threads and discussions that show how to set up/activate smart lock, but I can't find it ANYwhere. It is not there. I have not yet set up fingerprint unlock as I want to know I can have smart lock option, and the fingerprint scanner on my Note 4 was so awful, I'm a little hesitant. Has anyone had this problem? I just updated software through Verizon today so now Samsung Pay is available, and wanted to use fingerprint with smart lock for security. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I just use the Search option and found. It's listed under Lock Screen and Security--- Secure Lock Settings
I'm on the international variant, but it should be on all Notes. Hope this helps.
Nope. Not there. But thanks.
It's exactly where LGmarly said it was. Which version of the phone do you have?
It will be there. I thought I did not have it either until I setup fingerprints. I use swipe pattern now & it's still there. If you have your lock screen set to swipe or nothing the Secure Lock Settings will not appear.

Thanks! That's what I was suspecting - not there until secure lock is set up. I searched high and low through all settings, sub-settings, etc. Will set up fingerprint today and expect to see it. Thanks for the replies.
I have had my S8 Plus set with no lock screen & I like it that way. Goofing around with the settings, I accidentally re-enabled the swipe to unlock & now it won't let me set it back to none instead of swipe.
WTF am I missing here??

Works fine for me.
Settings --> Lock screen and security --> Phone Security -->Screen Lock Type --> None.
VZW S8+.
Never mind, whatever was wrong fixed itself & now it's working fine again.

Can't Disable Password Lock Screen on S8+
I cannot disable the screen lock!
I believe it is a result of that fact that I just enabled the Find My Device feature via google.com/android/device manager. I set up a password there. Then my phone locked, and I had to enter the pw to unlock it. Now, I always have to enter that pw to unlock the phone. I tried to turn off the password lock in the phone settings. Under Screen Lock Type, it says password. I am required to type in the pw, to turn it off. It temporarily changed to "Swipe", No Security. But then as soon as a navigate away from this screen on my phone, it goes back to "Screen Lock Type" - Password. I can't disable the screen lock! It's driving me nuts. So, I turned off the Find My Device feature. I also went into Phone Administrators and removed the radio button next to Find My Device. That didn't do it. I restarted the phone. I disabled google smartlock (I don't know if that is relevant). That didnt' work either. I read something about selecting Clear Credentials, but that option is grayed-out on my phone.
Please Help!!!
