You should consider doing a factory reset and see if the option appears in the settings.

Thnx for replay. i did FRs a few times before and once now, from Phone menu and boot menu as well
Just tested phone using Phone Doctor Plus app. and FP test failed.
I'm staring to think that FP sesnor is broken.
Do you have any ideas how to confirm that before sending back ?
Fingerprint is only a SECONDARY option. You must set one of the other options BEFORE you can enable fingerprints.

Thnx for suggestion. FP doesn't appear either with SINGLE Screen Lock or DOUBLE LS methods.
In other words FP option is not avalible as primary, secondary or 3rd security function.
EDIT:
Tested for each of primary Screen lock (None, Swipe, pattern, PIN, password) setuped on fresh system (after FactoryReset)
FR -> Screen lock (None); FR -> Screen lock (pattern), etc.

Been a little bit but if I recall after FR it will ask you to put in your pin and then confirm. Next screen should be "set up FP (yes/no) If you select yes then you are presented with a screen or two of instructions before you hit ok let's do this. If you don't get that at some point in the setup then return the device, it's broken.

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.
Hey all,
I may be completely missing something but I can't seem to get the fingerprint unlock on my AT&T S6 to work consistently. I've gone through the process and set up my fingerprint, but when i click the power button and back on, it asks me to swipe rather than use the fingerprint. At the bottom on the lockscreen I get a "swipe to unlock" message and when i touch/swipe the little water globule appears. I have to swipe to the right to unlock. What's extra interesting is when I reboot my phone, for first unlock (and only first) it asks for fingerprint unlock and unlocks appropriately by me placing my thumb on the sensor. Here's some additional information that may help:
1. Under lock screen and security settings, "Screen lock type" is set to "Fingerprints"
2. Under "Fingerprints" i have Fingerprint 1 which is my thumb
3. Web sign-in and Verify Samsung are currently Off
4. The problem is the same whether i use the power button on the right side of the phone, or press and hold home button, or single press home button then try to use thumbprint
Am i completely stupid and missing something? Seems totally weird to me that on first reboot and first unlock attempt it requires fingerprint, but any subsequent unlock is swipe only?
Thanks in advance for the help!

It hasn't completely locked. There is a option for it in security and go to secure lock settings and then secured lock time

Thanks a lot for this, it was driving me crazy trying to figure out why it wasn't working.:good:
Ok, I want to be given the option of using either my fingerprint or number code on the lock screen. Seems like I have to pick one or the other.
Am I missing something or do I need another lockscreen app?
Anyone?
I use the fingerprint and it gives me the option to type in the backup code I had specified in setup for the fingerprint option. They allow this in case the fingerprint doesn't work (like if you cut your finger, etc.). Also you can specify up to four fingers which I have done...

if your finger print scanner not working or not recognised then it will ask for password.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply folks. I do get that it defaults to a code if the fingerprint fails.
My reason is that I work in a lab where I am required to wear gloves, no option for fingerprint scanning, so I have to use an unlock code at work.
My wish was that when I set it for fingerprint, it would also show the numer unlock, thus giving me two options.

No, my lock screen says to use the fingerprint scanner but also has a button labeled "use backup password" (which works). I'd show you a screen snapshot but that functionality is disabled on the lock screen of course. I think that button only appears after a failed fingerprint scan. So how come you can't just use it that way? Just touch the fingerprint scanner to your nose or something and then the button would appear!?!?
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 use face unlock including the setting Direct Unlock and Raise to Wake. I don't know what I just did but now every time i lift the phone to unlock it I get 'Smart Unlock successful. Slide up to open.' It didn't do that until an hour ago. It used to go straight to the last screen I was using. Searched everywhere but cannot see what I did that changed it. I am on the Beta but I don't think that makes a difference. Any ideas?
TIA
In the end I did a reset of settings and also wiped the cache in recovery and that seems to have got it back to normal. Unfortunately, meant I had to redo all my settings again.
I have the same problem, it's very annoying any better solutions then reset...??
