I am trying to enable pick up to wake WITH face unlock. The lift to wake feature in settings works with face unlock, but it is not sensitive enough to use regularly and cannot adjust sensitivity. Third party apps in the app store pick up to wake work perfectly, but without face unlock. There are no settings in 3rd party apps to enable this. Please advise on how to enable pick up to wake with face unlock as I am trying to unlock phone without any buttons.

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?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
goddamn it....secured lock time was set to 30 minutes
I figured it out! thanks for the heads up!
I really prefer using the finger print scanner for my lock screen at work. The phone has a tendency of turning on in my pocket and doing stuff while in there. When I'm at home or out and about it's less of a worry. So can I switch it from finger print mode to a swipe unlock with just an NFC tag? If I have to swipe my finger after tapping the NFC tag to switch fingerprint mode off is fine.
You might check out gravity screen in the play store. It keeps the phone off in your pocket very reliably.
I think there was an xposed module that allowed you to change the lock screen. May be able to work something up where it changes depending on if you are at home or work. Sorry probably not the most helpful post.....
Hi,
I'm trying to make a task that opens an app when an NFC tag is read. Basically when I play piano I have a phone stand on the piano and I use an app called guitar tabs to bring up chords for songs that I don't know overly well. So I stuck an NFC tag on the back of the stand so when I place my phone on the stand it'll automatically unlock my phone and launches the app. So far works great I'm using wanam xposed to allow NFC tags to be read even with screen off, phone unlocks itself and launches the app.
However I have fingerprint lock enabled with smart lock too which is set up with my Gear S2 as a trusted device. While I can get it to unlock fine using secure settings > pass/pin lock thing set to disable (just seems to bypass the lock screen this way) I can't get it to re-able the fingerprint lock. It just leaves it as swipe lock. While I'm running a note 4 with a note 5 rom on 5.1.1 the secure settings > custom rom > Samsung fingerprint lock doesn't seem to have an effect on the setting. Is there anyway I can automatically enable the finger print lock again?
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"
