Coming from a Nexus 6P, I'm used to just touching the fingerprint reader to unlock. The Note 7 defaulted to needing the button pressed first and then the finger is scanned and I'm not seeing an option to change that - is it possible?
no it is not possible. you have to push the button on every Samsung phone with fingerprint reader as i know so far
You will have to either press the home button, or the lock button on the side.
Check out easy home for Samsung on the app store.

I just noticed that while in pandora, the pandora app devs decided to throw the menu button on the main bar with the home/back/app list buttons. When my phone auto locks or i manually lock it, the menu button is on the lock screen and if i tap it, it unlocks. I use swipe unlock so not a huge deal for me, but i need to test with other methods like pattern and password.
Attached is screenshot.
[Edit] i tested it with all other unlock methods and the button doesnt work. It is still there on lock screen, but only unlocks the phone on swipe.
Feature of the os. All apps with the menu button down there do it, even the XDA app. Not a security issue, doesn't work when you actually have a security method set up.

Hi,
Can anyone confirm if they have the same issue. I have set up the lock with either code or finger print, but i have notice that i can sometimes get into the device without either.
Tap power button - slide screen up (to access code screen) - Hit Emergency - when emergency dial screen shows, hit the back button.
this has worked on my device a number of times, but i'm wondering if its a common fault, so something specific to settings i have.

possibly it's not a bug, i think your fingerprint was verified after pressing the power button.
you can wake the phone by double clicking the screen and don't touch the power button, if you can still unlock the phone without inputting code then it may be a bug

thought that with the finger print myself, so i used a finger that wasn't linked to it. Double tapping the screen didn't work. Again, it was still happening intermitantly.

I don't think it's a bug as my z5 is connected to my Microsoft band 2 via Bluetooth and after I paired it with my phone I was given an option to add the Microsoft band 2 as authorised device or something.. I did not bother to read the rest and chose OK, so now when ever I am wearing my Microsoft band 2 my z5 do not ask for password or finger print. I also thought that when I power up my z5 with power button it unlocked automatically with my finger print so I woke my z5 with double tap on the screen and slide up the lock screen and it did not ask for any password...

Did google mention if there is a quick way to activate the camera from the lock screen? Maybe double tap power button?

It's the same as on your Nexus 6P. The camera can be activated by pressing the power button twice. This works when the screen is off, on the lockscreen or in any app that you might be in. The volume rockers will act as a shutter button if you've set them up like that in the settings. If your screen is on and you're on the lockscreen, you can also swipe up from the bottom right to activate the camera.

Fingerprint scanner can be used to unlock. I am still adjusting to using this phone which is new to me, but I am finding that I can shorten the amount of time till the screen is automatically locked, since it is so easy to unlock with a finger. Though I wish it had separate device lock and screen blank timers.
If you had a different launcher you might be able to take advantage of double tap to wake/sleep.
instead of using the power button, preferably without root
any suggestion?
I use Fingerprint Action Pro and Double Tap to lock on my Pixel 3xl stock un-rooted and I really like this combo. In Fingerprint Action I have it set to Single Swipe and set the swipe to all four directions up, down, left and right it's kinda like tickle to lock the phone.
OK thx I'll try it out
I use the app Double Tap To Lock Screen. It works great, Pixel 3xl on beta 5
Edit:It got moved just as I replied.
