So when I open the fingerprint scanner in the settings it asks to enter the pattern and when I do it it opens another window asking for the pattern and keeps doing that. And when I back out I have to keep backing out depending on how many times I enter my pattern. I've tried clearing settings data as well as the fingerprint scanner data to no avail. Any suggestions?
I am also having this issue.
Any solution ?

Hi,
Under screen lock I marked swipe.
It stopped working.
When I press the lock button, the screen just appeared like the none option is marked although the swipe is marked.
I have tried the following:
Restart
Shut down
Change user to guest
Clear credentials
Change to password and change back
After changing to password go to smart lock and make sure there are not trusted places
After changing to swipe the smart lock option is grey like it is set to None.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I recently updated to the latest ElementalX kernel (1.15) and am experiencing the same issue, lock button doesn't lock or wake up screen, gestures work fine though.
Edit: After hard resetting the lock & wake functionality is back to normal!
Hello all,
I'd like to use the fingerprint to lock only specific apps without having a lock screen active.
With other smartphones I can do it, with the P2 seems to be impossible.
In order to activate the fingerprint security, I have to record some fingerprints and that's ok. Then I select the single apps I want to lock.
But, if I disable a lock screen the digits scans are deleted, therefore the fingerprint app lock feature stops working.
In other phones when I disable the lock screen, the app lock function keeps working (fingerprints scans are not deleted).
Is there any workaround ?
I only manager to get partial workaround - I set option that the phone will lock itself after 30 min and I used simple PIN to use it quickly if needed and also I use smart lock so it will not lock that often...
Hi all.
I keep having issues with screen unlock.
First it would only unlock via fingerprint and not using pin.
To test a little i then selected pattern + fingerprint and now it doesn't require either except on first boot up. I can simply swipe to unlock. However, if I scan a non registered finger it says "no match".
I'm not connected to trusted devices...
Any ideas what causes this behaviour? It shouldn't be due to removing stock bloatware, right (Samsung, Google, FB apps)?
Many thanks!
It sounds to me like you have one of the "Smart Lock" settings enabled. These override the pattern and fingerprint settings when specific conditions are met: the device is on your body, the device is at home, or the device is within range of your smartwatch.
They should really be called "Smart Unlock" settings. You can find these settings under "Lock screen > Secure lock settings".
Sort of an old thread, but I'm also facing issues with the unlock screen lag. Somehow it is related to the battery saving: since it slows down the CPU, apparently the system doesn't have time to "process" the unlock pattern (or PIN, same problem; and hang me if that process should take longer than a couple nanoseconds), and the screen goes back to black before the unlock is successful. As a temporary workaround, I've disabled battery saving, and now at least I can unlock with pattern or PIN. But the real problem must reside somewhere else. It's not acceptable that an operating system takes that long in processing the unlock.
I was trying to delete the old fingerprint from the fingerprint list. but after asking about passkey or pattern screen closes or crashes without error. Can someone help me out.
For some reason when i tap the fingerprint on the main screen, it crashes. When i tap fingerprint on the inside screen, i am allowed to enter my 4 digit password then it crashes. My 1 fingerprint i have on it does work and no problems with face detect.
Done any debloating?

Had the same issue here. Solved mine by reseting the all apps permissions. Settings>apps - press three dots on the right upper corner - reset apps permissions
