Is there a way to disable the haptic feedback when you succesfully unlock the phone via fingerprint? Considering how often I unlock the phone, I think this would save a bit of battery.
I want to disable it too
Btw, is the fingerprint strong enough? I unblock my nexus 5x 50+ times everyday, wont it die....

Same here. Would like to know if that is possible.
I've searched but found no solution.

With the latest Cataclysm update, the fingerprint scanner vibration is disabled for successful authentication. Now, it only vibrates on an unsuccesful unlock.
i still look for a method to stop vibrating if i unlock my nexus 5x by fingerprint.
my device is rooted with cm14.1
any ideas for the annoying vibration ?
thanks

I recently trained the hell out of the face unlock feature and now it's working blazing fast and very reliable in almost every environment.
But since I don't feel like doing 40+ improvements to face unlock after every ROM I flash, want to back up the face unlock improvement pics.
Does Titanium Backup include this when backing up App+Data? Did someone already try this?
Didn't think people used face unlock. Ya, as long as you backup app data it should be in there. Titanium Backup has that feature.

Thx for the info! I also didn't use it, but recently thought I'd give it a try and when you improve recognition in different lighting it works surprisingly well, it unlocks a lot faster than i can swipe or type in a PIN. And it still offers at least some security compared to the simple unlock swipe (not the pattern).
There is an entry called Face Unlock in Titanium Backup, backing it up should do the trick.
I'm interested to know what improvements you have made to make it faster? Mind sharing?

Ok I'll give it a try, thank you!
I did nothing special, there's a built-in improvement feature since 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 i think. You find it under settings-> security AFTER you set unlock method to face unlock. It appears directly below unlock method and above owner information. It should say something like "improve face recognition" (dunno the settings names for sure, my phone language is german. But I think you get what I'm talking about).
If you tap it you can train the phone to recognize your face under different lighting, with and without glasses, shaved/unshaved and so on. Just keep improving until you feel face unlock works good for you. Mine is 100% accurate right now if there is enough light to see anything at all
there was a previous thread about this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25605137
still no definitive answer though, hopefully the Face Unlock in TB catches everything
You're not supposed to back up system apps/data in titanium though

Thanks, didn't find this thread with my search terms! So it seems I have to manually backup /files/lockscreen.gal -- really good to know! Thx again!

That's the only problem for me, I use my phone too often when it's too dark to see anything. I tried face unlock for a bit but got annoyed with having to wait for it to timeout. The phone has a light sensor, they need to be using it to go straight to the alternate authentication method in low light.

Instead of waiting, just press the little lock button underneath your image while it is trying to recognize. It will immediately go to pin unlock.

I didn't know about that, I'll try it. It should still be automatic though, hopefully they'll fix that at some point.
Just wanted to confirm that restoring the Face Unlock data through Titanium Backup (restore Data Only) worked fine in restoring my trained face sessions after they were reset when I disabled the Face Unlock feature. As mentioned in that other thread, the file where the data is stored appears to be lockscreen.gal in the /data/data/com.android.facelock directory.
Hi guys I have an lg nexus 5x running marshmallow 6.0.1 with security patch of 5 august 2016.... I set up the fingerprint for unlock but he won't do that.... I have one vibration and the phone always need to be unlock with pattern.... but I can purchase apps at playstore and other things with the fingerprint but not unlock my phone is very strange... any suggestion?

First unlock sometimes requires both, but future unlocks should only require fingerprint. I don't know what is wrong with your system.
Juat avoid using third-party screen-off apps to lock/turn off the screen.
Had the phone since yesterday and noticed right away that FP reader is noticably slower than on OP3 (stock).
after some testing I found that when you deactivate FaceUnlock, FP reader is faster, same as OP3. I cannot make sense of that, FaceUnlock isnt "searching" when phone is locked.
anyone else noticed this?
Cheers
ps otherwise loving the phone 100%

My 5T should be delivered in a couple of hours.
I will report back once tested =P
Don't have OP3 to compare, but I turned on face unlock, smart unlock(google:location), and FP works fine with my 2fingers
I have just tried fingerprint unlock on my 5T with both face unlock on and then off - the unlock time seems exactly the same to me.

Same here. No perceivable difference.
Unless I'm missing the point of smart lock. Pressing the unlock button and/or using your fingerprint takes the same amount of time and effort.
Am I missing the obvious? Smartlock seems useless

When I'm home, I just push the button with my right thumb and swipe up with my left index finger, and I'm in.
it's instantaneous
Easy Peasy

I used for some time smartlock (because Pixel was paired with a smartband), so if it's connected, it was set to unlock in this case without password or fingerprint.
Otherwise, if we use fingerprint it take half second to unlock, so it's almost the same, but each user can decide what is more comfortable for him.

But you could use a fingerprint unlock and do the exact same thing in the exact same amount of time

This is also pointless Because, we should not complain if now the fingerprint has reached a good level of speed, while, when the Pixel 6 was released many people complained because of slowness or reliability.

So getting back to my main point, you agree now that smart lock is useless?
I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here. I don't see the point in a lock screen if the phone is......Wait for if..... Already unlocked

You may need to use gloves or other conditions where you cannot unlock the phone, then smart-lock might be useful. But as you say, in normal condition takes almost the same time. Then what is the point? You ask to remove a function that might be useful to others? Just don't use it if you don't like.

Except I don't use fingerprint unlock. I swipe a pattern.
So faster for me in that instance

Never said to remove anything but a lock screen on an unlocked phone.
That's not a reasonable request?

I'm sure there is, I have no idea how
On a side note, Google changing the screen to wake with a single tap instead of double tap is equally annoying and leads to the screen accidentally turning on all the damn time. Including in your pocket.
This only started on Android 12. Talk about fixing something that wasn't broken
Iv never used smart lock myself

Ty so much for this.. But from his description
"You phone will never be locked"
I see how this is keeping the device unlocked (for a certain period of time) but how does the device auto lock when leaving a trusted site?
For me I have several trustes sites already with profiles made in Tasker.
My default (outside/not at home) would be where I would want my phone locked
It worked in the 4-11-2022 pixel experience gsi
It doesn't work for me either.
Is someone able to register fingerprint and unlock with it? On my a52s I get a timeout error when trying to set up my fingerprint and the whole screen gets really bright when registering fingerprint

I think almost everyone has that problem, and I think it's because of the fixed FOD.
