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.

Disable vibration feedback from fingerprint unlock?

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

Unlock screen bug

Hi to everyone
After the latest update which was the security patch from october, my Z Play has a Bug. Locking screen was set to unlock from fingerprint or pin code. After the update screen can be unlocked just simply swiping it or with fingerprint. Do someone know how this problem can be fixed? It is really awkward. Thanks
Do you have on body detection active?
I thought that this is serious bug, but I completely forgotten that I had activated OBD which can activate phone if it "sense" that it is in your hands...
It's not enabled anything like that in settings.
And it can be unlocked by anyone, at least 2 of my college mates without anything enabled by/for them.
I have same problem !!
So what to do ? After a restart it works then fails

Any way to enable fingerprints for apps and not the lock screen?

Hey all. My question is how can I set up fingerprints for apps like banking but not have to have it make me set it up on the lock screen.

I don't think so because the app is taking the lock screen fingerprint info. Curious, why wouldn't you use the fingerprint scanner for the lock screen anyway?

I'd assume security. Law Enforcement can force you to unlock your phone using your fingerprint, but they can't force you to unlock it with a pin/swipe/other method of unlocking. You can plead the fifth with a password, but not with your finger.
Reboot. On the first use of the fingerprint scanner after a reboot you're required to unlock using the method you chose during setup.

Huh? What question are you answering?

@EeZeEpEe: I'm not answering a question. I was sort of commenting about the third post, wherein the poster brings up the fact police can force you to unlock the device if you use biometrics (i.e., the fingerprint scanner). If people are really that concerned, simply reboot the P2XL. The very first time the device is unlocked using the fingerprint scanner after a reboot, the pin, password, or pattern must be entered to unlock. This is because use of the fingerprint scanner requires any one of those security options be set.
The problem was, I was at work and rushed my post, rather than taking the time to make clear what I was referring to.

Ah okay. That's a good idea to keep in mind. Unless you're dead like the guy in the news recently. Largo, FL isn't far from me actually. LOL.

finger print after new update recieved today

The fingerprint scanner after update is significantly fast and accurate
You just have to give a good touch to screen and it will unlock
The fact that we are getting update for our devices makes the consumer really confident with the product
The camera should get better soon as well
If u guys see lock screen for fraction of seconds just try clearing up recent app tray for instant fix or just use ur phone normally this bug will disappear
And if it still doesnt work just setup wallpaper again.
This bug appears when u manually try to bring up lock screen by power button or by constant tap on fingerprint scanner
Just clear the recent app tray
The update really is remarkable.
Very happy
Very good jod Samsung team

No update yet in EU so far. The firmware from India seems to have received a handful of updates already but the official firmware update list doesn't list EU firmware so far.
no update here in italy

I notices that after the upate in A50. Fingerprint performance is much slower than the previous version.
Hello,i have a50 and why do i feel the in screen fingerprint is very bad at a50?more often then not the fingerprint cannot match my fingerprint.do you guys also feel this?i hope its gonna be better on the next update..or
No Update
Still no update for Indonesia
Yesterday loaded ASC7 firmware. It is not much better. Overal FP performance is a disaster.

Factory reset was executed
Sunday updated A505FN to March update (Serbia, SEE) and nothing magnificent better with FP sensor then before.
Just for a "piece of a hair" maybe.

Maybe a dirty fix but do you have both Face unlock and FP unlock enabled? If yes, I recommend deleting all previous FPs, remove face unlock (delete the registered face), then add the fingerprints again. I did the same and FP unlock feels much faster (even with a tempered glass screen protector). All the best!
Hmm.
No Face recognition. Just FP...
Will try to clean system.
Tnx

Have you got any screen protector? I think it could be a problem (I saw your post that you have Nillkin 9H glass).

Maybe you are right. I'll check it out.
The catch is that this is unstable: I mean 3 times in the row FP works fine and next few times total disaster

Question So Installed the pixel experience 4-1-2023 update and now face unlock doesn't work anymore

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.
