I'm not a big fan of the EMUI lock screen player controls for Spotify (and a few other apps). They aren't formatted correctly and look bad.
I've tried replacing the lock screen with several different 3rd party ones to take advantage of their music controls.
If you don't disable the EMUI lock screen (in developer options), then it interferes with the replacement screen.
Disabling the original lock screen also disables the fingerprint (and face unlock) security features of the phone FOR ALL PURPOSES.
Trying to reactivate the fingerprint security or register a fingerprint actually just reactivates the EMUI lock screen and your back to square one.
I can sacrifice face ulnock, but losing fingerprint unlock entirely is quite annoying.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this?
Hey guys, I'm wondering, does anybody knows how to remove unnecessary swipe on the lock screen after the face has been recognized.
I'm running 9.0 stable and face recognition works but it's really annoying to swipe up every time after the scan.
Thanks
It is smartlock and it works like this. You can not do anything . Nokia said they are implementing face unlock and for some time the China variant had it but now it was removed.
I read that some where it has been rejected over patent
"Face unlock"
Received the update 9, no issues noted after, then thought I would change my theme, and since then, nicluding after a reset of all settings, I can enrol my face, add fingerprint, set pattern and pin code, but when I push the power button to lock the phone, a simple swipe up unlocks it. I have done this while holding the phone away so the camera cant see my face (just in case its just speedy)
One thing that has me a little confused in 9 is the option where you select the lock option, I go to security & Privacy, lock screen password, and change lock screen password, then input my pattern and select change unlock method, and I have only 4 options, 4 pin, custom pin, pattern and password, no finger print or face recognition listed, and so I select pattern , input it twice, click done, then am prompted to associate fingerprint, which I say yes to.
Now, I lock the phone, press power to unlock, and have the option of the swipe up to unlock (no security period) the fingerprint does nothing other than unlock the phone without the need to press the button or swipe, but is easily bypassed by just ignoring it.
I cannot walk around with a phone that simply has zero security on so can anyone advise on things to try.
I have backed up the entire phone and would rather avoid a full reset if possible
Try changing theme download a 3d free one, when I did that it downloaded some engine, then my lock screen worked.
Seems the update doesn't change the theme, but prompts you to switch, if you don't it doesn't work.

thanks, but still nothing. I can find no way to make this damn thing lock
Go to Security & Privacy -> Lock screen password -> Smart Lock.
Check if you have any options enabled, it can be unlocked by location, bluetooth or even by motion.
I mean the lock screen, not the always on screen.
Notifications from WhatsApp will be shown on lock screen? There is option to answer messages from the lock screen?
Thanks
You can see messages yes, but you have to unlock to unswer, but i think this is with every android device
No, on a OnePlus Lockscreen interactions work without unlocking.
I#m searching for a possibility to change this too.
Unlocking before being able to answer and the Quick settings without unlocking would be really a great thing.
Hi maybe it's a particularity of colors of but I can't unlock the phone with fingerprint when screen is off if i deactivate the option "show fingerprint icon ".
With my mi 11 , i was able to unlock via fingerprint on lock screen with screen off and no fingerprint icon.
Thx
