Unlocking phone by touch without fingerprint on Mi 9T Pro? - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

Hi guys!
I've been using Xiaomi phones for many years now and I loved the feature on my Redmi Note 4 where I could just touch the fingerprint sensor and unlock the phone, without any fingerprints added.
So technically, anyone could unlock the phone, as long as they touched the sensor.
I'm trying to mimic this behavior on my Mi 9T Pro.
I'm wondering if there's any way of using the fingerprint unlock sensor with no fingerprints setup?
My idea is it would be faster, as it was on my Redmi Note 4.
Since the sensor already works whenever I press it, I see no reason for it to not work with no fingerprints at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I use the apk Double Tap.
Double Tap - Apps on Google Play
Easy to turn on/off screen without power. Not affected to unlock by fingerprint
play.google.com
No ads, freeware, rock stable, uses almost no battery at all and works perfectly.

Thank you for replying!
I'll check the app out for sure, but I'm still wondering if there's a built-in way of doing this, as was the case on my previous phones?

Hey, I just downloaded the app, but it does not appear to have double tap to wake option, only double tap to sleep.
Am I missing something obvious?

Check Settings>Accessibility, it needs to be enabled there.
You could try setting it as a Device Administrator but I don't have it enabled as one.
Try a reboot.

Note that you lose the double click to open camera with the lockscreen. Otherwise, looks very pretty.

sorry, for the time being, not possible to allow double tap to launch camera in the locker. but double tap when screen off is not affected and will work with no problem.

also the lockscreen does not work in safe mode, that changes everything for me
The app is nice, and fingerprint seems to work very well with it. Being able to pin unlock even with fingerprint block is really nice (and I really don´t know why Samsung implemented only the "password backup" for it)
However, if I acess the camera through the lockscreen app, the camera is not launched on a "secure" mode, and I can access the entire camera gallery without unlocking and even delete the photos inside...
That´s a deal breaker for me :/

Android N official fingerprint scanner problem...

Does anyone have problem using fingerprint to unlock the screen??
I dont really like locking screen using power button but rather use gesture and apps. After updating to Android N EVA-L19C626B320 Official. I cannot normally unlock the screen like before. It keeps asking for password every single time.
EXCEPT when I use power button to lock the phone.
Any idea?

It's normal. Since it not a "user (you)" action but an "admin (you by an app)" action, the system protects your data. You'll not be able to "fix" this since it's supposed to work like this.

I found out that Nova launcher let the choice to the user how to lock the screen :
By administrator (you won't be able to use fingerprint scanner to unlock)
By displaying a black screen while waiting for the phone to go in sleep mode (you will be able to use fingerprint scanner to unlock)

Yeah I just contact Nova's developer and they claim to be an issue now.
"Unfortunately this is a known issue in which there is a pop-up window within Nova that tells you about this and that there is a work around if you are rooted. Unfortunately there's no native work around if you're not rooted, however, you can go to the Google Play Store and purchase Screen Lock Pro(this app is not ours) and you can use it as a work around for this issue as well."
I'm having fingerprint problems too. It does not let me set up a new fingerprint anymore and doesn't work in any situation. Worked perfectly since 1 day ago. Using the beta 7.0 android... Any tips?

Your problem is a bit troublesome. Try reset?
I tried to reset, but it still does the same. I did a backup restore and didn't try to use the fingerprint before that. I'll try again tomorrow and see what happens.
Still no hope of fixing the issue din
You need to disable smart unlock. Go to Settings>Security>Trusted Agents disable any smart unlock enabled.
Additional: If you're using Greenify you must enable the "Alternate Screen Off Mode"

If you have root there are two apps that I know of that work perfectly for locking the screen through software:
-->Gesture Control, works very well, just assign any gesture to screen off.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontrol&hl=de
and
-->Boeffla Screen off, has a slight delay between pressing the button and the screen actually locking, ~1sec nothing bad, but otherwise works very well. Also you can assign this app as an "assist app" meaning your long press home button becomes your screen off button
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.andip71.screenoff&hl=de
If you don't have root I guess this would be a reason to go for it!

Huawei P9 Lite Fingerprint Settings Missing
Hi please help . After updating my Huawei P9 Lite to Android 7.0 I cant find the fingerprint settings anymore. I've tried to wipe my phone several times but still nothing is changing at all . I'm thinking of downgrading now to 6.0

Using "Swipe" as the "Screen Lock Type" deletes all fingerprints for app autho!

Using "Swipe" as the "Screen Lock Type" deletes all fingerprints for app autho!
I'm coming from several previous Notes. Most recently the 8. They made a small change to the settings menu. In the 8 the "Biometrics" settings were within the "Lock Screen" menu . Now on the 9 "Biometrics and Security" have their own category. But they have also changed something major it seems...and I hope I'm wrong. When you select "Swipe" as the "Screen Lock Type" it has to "Remove Data" and delete the recorded fingerprint(s). It makes it seem like that if you use them for apps you have to come back and redo the fingerprints for that purpose. But as soon as I do that it automatically switches the lock type back to "Fingerprint". It a vicious cycle.
I have always only used "Swipe" as my unlock method. I have also always liked using finger print for authentication with whatever apps utilize that. I'm pretty bummed right now. Hopefully I'm not the only one with this issue and you guys can dig in and see if I am missing something.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Same thing here love to use fingerprint to unlock app, but swipe for lock screen. It also happened on the Note 8 when it upgraded to Oreo.

Hmmm.... It never affected me on the 8 with Oreo. I just lost the ability today when I switched to the 9
Well, I ended up resorting to using "Swipe" as my unlock method and I just won't be using fingerprint within any of the apps. Pretty disappointing. Unless anyone can come up with a workaround.
seem like there is no options. anyone can help?
I have the same issue and am looking for a remedy. They actually took away the option to have swipe to unlock but keep the biometric data for the Note 9. I use swipe to unlock on my Note 8 and have biometric data for banking apps, etc. But can't do that on the Note 9. This is a definite downgrade and hoping that samsung or someone comes up with a fix for it.

Exactly - you can't use biometrics in other apps unless you have a secure lock actually running on your phone. Want to change it to swipe to unlock? They make you delete all of your biometrics. Frustrating.
I have been looking for a work-around to this issue. Thought maybe a lockscreen app that offered swipe to open would work. Have yet to find one that has the option available though. Plus I don't want to have to deal with another app running on top of everything just to have a swipe to open lockscreen. Hope Samsung fixes this issue soon!

So I installed and....... this worked! Thanks a ton!
I DL'd, installed "no lock". Set it to "Locking Enabled". Went to my lockscreen settings and set my lockscreen to come up immediately upon the display turning off. Hit the power button to get off the AOD and to the lock screen, and lo and behold I am at the swipe to unlock screen just as it used to be on my Note 8. Swipe to unlock works perfectly, and my biometric data is still preserved for my misc apps I use fingerprint to unlock (banking apps, etc).
Again, thanks a TON!

Glad to hear it! :good:
I myself do not use any type of phone lock,but,the locking on a per-app basis makes sense,for whatever app you deem necessary.
The obvious come to mind (Banking/email/messages) so,I definitely see the need.
This may change my mind,as I cannot stand to use a general lockscreen/PIN/pattern/fingerprint/etc..... to wake it up each time I use it.

I also do not use or like a secure lockscreen (pin/pattern/fingerprint/etc) on my lockscreen. But I do like to swipe to unlock only to keep accidental unlocks from happening in pocket, etc. With the swipe to unlock that keeps those accidental unlocks down to basically zero. However, I do utilized secure locking on banking apps, etc. I use these daily, many times a day normally, and would never want them to be able to be accessed by someone who got my phone somehow. So having those securely locked (I use fingerprint with PIN as my backup) is a huge plus for me.
Again, can't thank you enough. This solved a frustrating problem for me and I am sure many others!

Thanks KOLIOSIS for the solution. I used this app during the time there was no "none" option too. The downside is that the CPU will not sleep, thus drain the battery.
I'm willing to explore this further, but I'm stuck.
The basic lock security I have to add in order to register my FP is pattern lock. After that I followed the steps as you stated:
1) Set the No lock app to "lockscreen enabled"
2) Set the "Lock automatically" to "immediately"
Anything else I miss out? Appreciate the help.
Thanks~!

There is an app to monitor this. Can't remember it now.
The CPUs and batteries of todays may not be that affected even if it doesn't sleep.. I'm not sure. I am willing to try this out and see if I'm ok with the batt life.
Could you direct me with the detail steps to get this setup up please?

All I did was download the apk then add my fingerprints. Done. It switches the screen unlock method to "fingerprint, pin" like usual but I guess this app overrides that and allows me to unlock with just a swipe

First thoughts on X4 Pie

So I was curious what people thought after they got their Pie updates? (I'm still waiting)
-Is it faster/slower?
-Any change in battery life?
-Thoughts on Google gestures?
-Any other thoughts?

Seems about the same speed/battery life for me.
The recent apps view is a big step backwards to me, the side scrolling cards is not as easy nor helpful as the vertical view was. I still think Samsung's multiwindow mode is better than Google's and I do not think 9.0 improved it.
Adding a dark theme is nice, but implementation is inconsistent. I am surprised basic things like the settings pages do not use it. But it is nice for the keyboard, messages, and phone.
I'd agree the new pill gesture setup isn't great. The motorola fingerprint gestures is nicer.
The tiny settings icon in the notification drop-down is annoying enough I've given up on it.
Other than some other gui changes (icons and the like), it isn't that different from 8.1.
That's kind of the impression I have been getting for a while. Our phones already have great battery life and moto actions.
I am losing excitement for this update...
It was faster, the battery runs faster than 8.1, I do not like gestures, even though I feel that applications still need to be polished for Pie.
Return to 8.1 for these last two dimensions.
Just installed the update tonight. Performance-wise, it feels the same. Don't know yet about the battery life, since I just got it about an hour ago.
I also found that the pill gesture setup was not up to par. It doesn't add anything extra to the original setup. It still occupies the same bottom screen space.
Dark mode is nice, but I wish it was implemented system wide instead of just by individual app. But probably this depends more on the app developers. But even system apps such as settings don't always have the dark mode.
Lastly, to access the gear settings icon, now you have to pull the notifications bar twice. Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't it used to be just once?

Yes. I noticed this too. The gear was accessible from the notification bar.
I pretty much agree with what others have said so far. Based either on actual speed improvements, tweaks to the animations, or the update placebo effect, 9.0 does feel a bit snappier switching between apps than 8.1.
The only thing I don't like is that the update seems to have made SwiftKey fonts bigger which is mildly annoying.
Pretty disappointed with this version of Android. The recent apps is now destroyed. It's a worse way to interact with your recent apps. Don't even bother with the gestures. Totally half baked. One button nav is superior in every way. The notification pull down is just hideous. The clock is on the wrong side and no way to change it. Why there's no way to change it is beyond stupid. The dark theme option is extremely inconsistent. Won't even darken the settings window for instance. You now have to pull the notification share down twice to access settings versus only one with Oreo. Seems that we've lost a lot of functionality and are being told it's a feature. Perfect example are the volume controls. What a joke.
The whole thing just looks like an iPhone rip off. And the general graphic style sucks. Material design is dead.
Performance and battery seem to stay the same. Overall a poor effort from Google on this. Going to have to root this thing so I can deal with some of the idiotic things they decided to go with. Worst Android update since I can remember. Can't wait to go back to Oreo.
A couple more observations. The volume bar is now on the right side of the screen, next to the volume buttons. It also allows direct access to sound settings. I don't mind this as it feels more intuitive to me. If you long press the power button, now there's an option to take screenshot. I like this since I don't have to fumble again with two hands to take screenshot.
A big change is split screen. Previously, you can just long press the overview button to use split screen. Now you have to tap the overview button (or swipe up from the pill, if you use that), then long press on the icon on top of the app, then select split screen. If you use split screen a lot, this change is annoying to say the least.

That change throws me off. I keep looking for the clock on the right side. And I agree with you; Google copied some of iOS UI while kept some of their own, making it an inconsistent experience.
Fingerprint Lock
I can no longer lock my phone using the fingerprint sensor. I think this is a bug because it is selected in the "Lock Screen Preferences" settings but it does not lock the phone. This may seem like a small thing but it completely disrupts how I'm used to using the phone. I'm using the Google Fi Android One version.

This update is underwhelming for me little changes that are just seemingly random and pointless. I'm especially disappointed that the update broke Google pay , prior to pie I've been taking ota's fine with no impact on gpay.

Unlock lock screen after clicking on notification

Hi guys,
I'm using a fingerprint scanner to unlock my phone and I'm used to going directly to the application after clicking on the notifications from the lock screen. Now, with screen built-in fingerprint scanner, when I click on the notification from the lock screen, it will first ask me to provide a password (password is enforced by my company), then I have to click on the small fingerprint icon and only then I can unlock the phone using my fingerprint. With my previous phones, i.e. OnePlus 6 which had a fingerprint scanner at the back, I was able to save this one click on the screen. I know it's nothing tragic but still, if you'd have an idea how to set it up that after clicking on a notification it doesn't ask me for a password but for fingerprint scan, I would really appreciate your help!
Cheers

I know it's nothing tragic but still, if you'd have an idea how to set it up that after clicking on a notification it doesn't ask me for a password but for fingerprint scan, I would really appreciate your help!
Cheers

Double tap on notification and then it opens password section but u can jump in app with fingerprint also. Thats how it works for me by default, i didnt mess with that what so ever.

Thanks. But to jump in app with fingerprint you need to first click on the fingerprint icon in the bottom of the screen and only after verify your fingerprint, right? I would love to skip that step of clicking on the fingerprint icon.

Aha thats what u meant. Well i dont think it is possible if u r locked with fingerprint. U have to roll it if u want to get into app, i mean thats why fingerprint exists, for security reasons.

I don't want to get rid of the fingerprint scanning itself but to get rid of touching the fingerprint icon when the password prompt comes up. I hope it's clear now [emoji28]
