I previously had the S9+ until it got stolen but I had to swipe on the lock screen to activate the face recognition and iris scanner.
With the S10+ I cannot seem to find this feature, has this been taken off?
I like to look at my locks screen to check the time etc but I dont like that my phone starts scanning for a face when the screen is turned on.

I hit the fingerprint sensor every time I take it out or put it in my pocket and that triggers the screen to turn on.
I don't really need the sensor, but I haven't seen a way to disable it in any of the settings?
I would like to the same thing, I dont really need the sensor active
Settings; lock screen & password; screen lock & fingerprint. You'll turn off your fingerprint reader and lock screen from here. Be sure all your fingerprints are deleted.
There are no method to turn off the fingerprint sensor at the moment, the above method just remove the fingerprint but screen would still be turn on when press on sensor, which is an issue for me also.
If this is really bothering you, stick a sticker on top xD
sticker? that's what I was thinking of.
Anyone noticed theirs? Mine auto brightness is already activated, when I unlocked the screen it gets bright even when the environment is dark. But my auto brightness mode is working.

Yes it's annoying as all hell. Takes about a minute to adjust but it's blinding at night.
That happens cause I use iris. So in dark rooms, I just use the fingerprint.
If you don't mind the inconvenience caused by having to swipe first before using iris unlock, disable the "Iris unlock immediately when screen turns on" option in Iris Scanner.
The screen has to be brighter than normal initally in order to provide enough light for iris scanning (without the circles for guidance).
The screen is no longer brighter when using iris unlock later because it now requires you to position your eyes within the circles.
Personally, I'm perfectly fine with the brighter screen initially.
At home you can get around it by setting it as a trusted location and then go into display/navigation bar and switch "unlock with home button" to on. That way you can just press the home location and your phone will bypass security/lock screen and go directly to the home screen. That is you can if you're not hiding an affair or other skulduggery from your partner in which case you might want to skip this method. lol
Anyhow you will retain your set security method outside of the trusted location, in my experience I'll usually be trusted around the house and yard but much past it I wont be. This also makes it nice for when you're home with the phone next to you and you want to interact with it without picking it up, you press home and you're in.
Unlocking screen brightness on Android.
This is only an Android Oreo + ( Android 8.0+). I only have this issue with my newer phone which is Android Oreo. It happenes with whatever method I use to unlock my phone. It's an auto brightness setting but it's doesn't seem to be listed as any sort of brightness setting. It's not even in the developer settings. If anyone knows how to disable the unlocking brightness feature, that would be helpful.
This happens for me when I face recognition on so the camera can see my face in the dark. You can change this in Settings > Lock Screen and Security > Face Recognition > Brighten Screen. Turning Brighten Screen off should keep the screen dim in the dark but you'll probably have to unlock with your fingerprint or something.

Really annoying this brightness. Even try every thing to keep this brightness on manually set point but at time of unlock, it increase in the middle of the night. Please any one help. Is it a problem of software or hardware.
I haven't notice this at all...
The only problem with this glorious device
I'm on Note 10+ and this is the only issue with this device. In the last three months I've used Pixel 3 and Apple Max and they've both figured this out. The blinding light is terrible. Middle of the night, or first when you wake up.
SOLUTION - If you have fave face recognition:
- Go into settings, select Biometrics and security.
- Select Face recognition.
- Tap on the switch on the right-hand side to turn on/off.
Hello,
I bought the Moto X4 through Amazon with the Ads and latter hated seeing them so I paid for the difference to get them off. I issue is that Everytime I unlock the using the fingerprint sensor I it just takes me to my lock screen and then I have to swipe up or I have to use my fingerprint again to take to my home screen. It did the same thing while I had the Amazon Ads i always had to do it twice to unlock my device completely.
Does any body else have that issue or is there a way for it to be just on scan and take me directly to my home screen?
I'm on the Android One version on Project Fi, and that is not how mine works. While the screen is off, I press my finger on the sensor, and it bypasses the lock screen to open my phone immediately. Works the same with both fingers I have added.
The G5 Plus had a faster fingerprint sensor.
Is there any way to use my fingerprint scanner only once and directly take me to the home screen instead of the lock screen?
Mine works like that. Just touch it and unlock directly to the home screen. Idk why your didn't. Try to remove fingerprint unlock and set it again. Must work like it should.
My guess is that this is a behavior of the Amazon version that shows ads on the lock-screen, so they have to force you to take an extra step so you actually see the ads.
I have my phone set to lock when I turn the screen off with the power button. After updating to 9.0.6 I can just swipe up on the lockscreen without showing my face or touching the fingerprint sensor. About 25% of the time it also shows my home screen under the lockscreen before unlocking.
Oh nevermind, it's was smartlock keeping the phone unlocked. Sorry. Pls delete
This reminds me of the time I thought the finger print reader was working through my gloves. Turns out it was face unlock barly seeing me at the edge of it's field of view
Coming from a Galaxy Note 4 where I could have my fingerprint registered without having a lock screen of any kind setup,
on my Mi 8 10.2.2.0 whenever I disabled the lock screen it clears my fingerprints registered.
The fingerprint is useful specially on banking apps and such and I can't have that working now without a stupid locked screen,
I just want to tap to awake the phone or press the power button without having to reach out to the sensor on the back of the
phone, I have no need to password protect my phone.
Is there any trick to do this?
