On the Galaxy S7 with Nougat, I've created a Tasker profile so if my phone is on the wireless charger, it activates System Lock.
Basically if I'm at home where Smart Lock unlocks my phone and bypasses fingerprint unlock, and I leave my phone charging, I don't want people to be able to access it.
But this then forces pattern unlock instead of fingerprint unlock.
Is there a way to create similar behavior but still allowing me to unlock my phone using just a touch of my fingerprint, like Nougat allows otherwise?
Thanks!!
Have you tried to disable Smart Lock instead?

Obviously that would work but I want Smart Lock to unlock my phone, unless it's left on the charger.
Thanks!!

Well, you're in the Tasker forum, so I thought it was obvious that I meant to create a Tasker profile to disable Smart Lock when it's charging and enable it again after you swipe your fingerprint.
That said, I quit using wireless chargers when tasks would fail because when the phone gets 100% charged, the charger turns off, so the phone wouldn't know it was still on the charger. The phone always knows when it's plugged in though.
Good luck!

Interesting idea, I'll try that! I thought you meant disable it in phone settings.
Thanks!!
Disable of Smart Lock could help
Ok I'm feeling a little dumb lol. On thr AT&T variant, the fingerprint sensor is not waking up the device when locked and screen off. Am I just missing a setting somewhere?
The international version works just fine to wake up and unlock screen, but the AT&T version doesn't.
Any input?
Works for me

My att note 8 works as expected with this. Maybe a setting i forgot about enabling. Perhaps power save more disables this ? Are you using power save?
Edit- tested with power save. This doesn't seem to be the culprit.
Ok there's a setting where you scan in your prints. It's a toggle you must enable. That should do the trick.

Do you have this option ?

Yup it's under lock screen and security then smart Lock. You wanna select the first option and it should automatically unlock to home screen when using your fingerprint.

Screenshot didn't come through, but if you mean the fingerprint unlock toggle, yes I have it on.
Could you fix the problem?
Could you fix the problem? I bought Galaxy S9+ AT&T version and it seems has the same problem.

The only way I could get it to work was to set screen to lock immediately with power button. Can't remember the exact setting title, but I think it's Settings/secure lock settings
Basically if you set the screen to lock as soon as it turns off it'll trigger the fingerprint to turn on screen immediately.
It worked!!! Thank you very very much. Really appreciate it. I was one step farther to return the phone.

I just wanted to say thanks. I flashed my unlocked Note8 with the AT&T firmware to see if it is worth the bloat. On the unlocked firmware I never had to make that change, it was always on. I don't know why I didn't think to check that setting and I don't know why AT&T would set it to ten minutes, there are so many things that can happen in ten minutes. Thanks!
Is there a way to unlock the phone using a fingerprint without unlocking the phone (should be screen)?
Edit: meant to type screen.

Your question makes no sense at all. You want to unlock the phone... without unlocking the phone?
I don't get it

So you want to unlock the phone via fingerprint without typing on the screen? I still don't see clearly what you mean? If you unlock your phone with your fingerprint, there is no need to type your password unless it doesn't recognize your fingerprint

Sorry for the confusion. Basically, i want to be able to unlock my phone while the screen is off by swiping my finger across the fingerprint reader.

Most likely there is no way.
Your fingerprint reader would most likely eat up a lot of battery because it would have to be on all the time just waiting to read the fingerprint and unlock the phone
So I find it is very not likely that such method exists.

Ok, thanks for the help. Do you know if theres a way to get the navigation bar on the screen and turn off the capacitive buttons?

I know that there are apps and xposed modules to allow a navigation bar. As to disable the capacitive buttons, I'm not sure. There are sure to be some apps or modules to allow you to do that, I'm not sure myself. Never tried to.
I just bought an Honor 9 lite and was having fun with my first fingerprint sensor, then I saw the option to "unlock the phone using fingerprint when it is locked or with screen off".
Is there a way to only enable fingerprint unlocks if the screen is on?
I would prefer pressing the lock button and then unlock, to avoid unwanted unlocks while the phone is in my pocket

I dont think so bro
Hi, I'm using Note9 with Screen lock type = PIN + Intelligent scan + Fingerprints.
Here is my experience:
[1] When I turn on screen (by the Power button or Home button), the lock screen appears. Here I can swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Notification bar.
[2] If I swipe the screen to unlock, the num-pad appears where users can input PIN. Here I can NOT access to the Notification bar.
The question is, how can I disable access to the Notification bar at the step [1] above.
(access to the Notification bar is already disabled in the step [2] above).
Thank you guys for reading my query.
No one faced with this issue or you treat it as normal?

I don't see notification when I pull down on the lock screen. All I get is the settings pull down shortcuts.

Weird. On my Note9 it happens as steps [1] and [2] I shown above.
Did you check it clearly by following steps [1] and [2] carefully?
Thanks for your feedback.

I'm using pin and fingerprint for unlock also.
If I press the power button to lock the device , then I press the home button im presented with the lock screen. If swipe up I'm asked to enter pin number. If I swipe down I see the shortcut toggles.
I have my notifications as icons not banners though.

Yes yes I meant these shortcut toggles.
I don't want this to be shown on the lock screen as I (or other people) can change settings by tapping on these shortcut toggles.

I know exactly what you mean. I had the same issue on my Pixel. What is more frustrating for me is that many times when the phone is in my pocket the notification icons get pulled down and something gets turned on/off by accident. There should be a way to disable the notification pull down until the phone is unlocked.

Oh, never mind, I have tested on my Note9 and it turned out that although you can pull down to show the notification bar, you can NOT toggle those icons as it requires the screen to be unlocked before toggling on/off.
So no need to worry anymore.

Yes but here's the problem... if you accidently pull the notifications down and touch an icon and then pull it out of your pocket and unlock it, anything you accidently touched will be turned on/off. Therefore I still wish there was a way to disable it from the lock. screen

Nope, all unattended touches before unlocking screen will not be accepted. I have tested.
You can check it by yourself.

I did test it. From the unlock screen I pulled down notifications and touched the wifi icon. Then I unlocked my phone and the wifi turns off.

I also tested on my Note 9, here's my results:
WiFi can't be turned off unless you unlock the phone right away, so if the phone is locked and you pull down the notification panel and click to turn off WiFi, it will it prompt to unlock the phone, if you don't unlock and screen turns off and then you unlock, WiFi will still be on.
Bluetooth: It can be turned off and doesn't require the phone to be unlocked, but it can't be turned on without unlocking the phone.
Sounds: Ringer can be changed without unlocking the phone, so you could accidentally turn your ringer off
Flight Mode: Can't be changed unless you unlock the phone (same scenario as with WiFi)
These are the only 4 I've tested.

Anyone had any luck with this?
I'm also trying to disable the Notification pull-down drawer on the lock screen for security reasons.
I went through all the menus and settings, but it seems Samsung has removed this option altogether.
I'm using a Note 9, Android 9, OneUI v1.0 (latest as of this post).
