Unlock sound silent when using fingerprint to unlock - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

At boot the Unlock sound does not work when using the fingerprint and PIN unlock combination - nor does it sound on subsequent fingerprint unlocks. Lock sound always works. However, when I use the PIN to unlock it later, the unlock sound works reliably for both PIN or fingerprint unlocks.
I have tried changing the ogg Lock and Unlock sounds with no success.
Obviously, I have both a PIN and fingerprint set.

Update: Solution: The unlock sound does work on subsequent reboots. It's only the FIRST boot after changing the sound that it doesn't work. Must have something to do with rebuilding the cache.

Fingerprint + Password/PIN/Pattern, possible to require both every time?

This is all based on the stock ROM, but I would be interested to hear if it's different in any of the custom ROMs that are available.
So, if you set up a fingerprint, you also have to set up a PIN, Password, or unlock Pattern. After the first fingerprint unlock after boot, it requires this extra security, and then stops requiring it until after some timeout has passed, or until a number of failed attempts at fingerprint unlock. It is also then super easy to accidentally unlock the phone by literally touching it in the wrong spot.
I would like to have my phone require both a fingerprint and a PIN, Password, or unlock Pattern. "Something you have and something you know" and all that.
Is there an Xposed module that would do this, or a custom lock screen that could be installed? Thanks for your help. I've tried searching about this and have not found anything helpful.
Fingerprint unlock is treated as a lower security level than password/pin/pattern.
When you boot, device doesn't really require both (just turn the screen on and slide up and the security you chose will be promted)

Fingerprint senor only wakes, doesn't unlock

This is what is happeing to me. If my phone is locked for more than 20 minutes or so, when I use my fingerprint to unlock the phone, it only wakes th phone, I.e.turns the backlight on, but doesn't unlock it.
The fingrprint registers correctly, as the screen wouldn't wake otherwise. I'm struggling to understand what the problem could be.. maybe its Go Launcher? Maybe its lightflow? Or someway around notifications?
do u have a pin set up or pattern
Yes I do. When I use my fingerprint, it takes me to the screen to input my PIN

I had the same issue when I turned on douple tap to sleep in novalauncher. Once I disabled it, the fingerprint reader unlocked my phone, not taking me to the pattern screen. Its certainly a software problem, I guess it's your launcher.
I'm using a older version of Go Launcher EX (5.09). Its very old, but does the job for me.. unfortunatly it doesn't have the double tap option.
I'll try disabling it and see if th problem persists
Edit:
With the Google Now launcher, when I use this app to lock, the same problem occurs. I lock by clicking the app, but then when I try to unlock using fingerprint, it takes me to the PIN screen

If you want to use fingerprint unlock function, you need to install FingerprintEnabler xposed module. Else the fingerprint to screen on and ask for pin or pattern is the default behavior..!

Unlocking with fingerprint, but asks for PIN every time.

I've discovered that if I lock my phone using the power button, the fingerprint sensor works fine and unlocks my phone. However, if I lock the phone using double tap, the fingerprint sensor will not work and it will ask for my PIN everytime.
Is this a bug or intended?
Nevermind I figured it out... I was using a 3rd party launcher.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 ONE UI PIE 9 Pattern Unlock Issue!

Hi i was rooted on Oreo 8.1 everything was fine, i just updated to ONE UI PIE 9 it updated fine and it booted up fine..
But now i can’t login, every time i input my Security pattern, the screen goes black and it just returns to the lock screen!
But if i input the wrong pattern it tells me it’s wrong, but if i input the correct pattern it will not unlock just a black screen for about a second then returns to swipe screen to unlock!
Does anyone know how to fix this ?
Thanks!
Never mind i tried safe mode could not login, the i tried wiping cache would not login also tried reboots no luck, i had to hard reset the Tab S4 that sucks all my info lost People do not update if you got lock enable some lame bug won’t let you unlock your device! disable your pin pattern etc before updating

Make Lock Screen Stop Asking for PIN While Phone Encrypted

Hello, I'm running a Samsung S4 Mini (I9195) with LineageOS 18.1. Smart Lock isn't cutting it for me, I don't use GPS, I only have BT on when listening to music. I want to have the ability to unlock and lock the lock screen at my leisure, to make it stop asking for my PIN until I press-hold the lock icon on the lock screen to make it ask for PIN again.
I used to be able to do that, by setting up a system profile that sets the lock screen to not ask for PIN when it is activated. After having encrypted my phone via the option in the Security settings menu, I can't do this particular thing. Amusingly, I can still remove the PIN from the phone entirely and make the lock screen stop asking for one that way, but that requires going into settings, disabling the PIN, and then setting it up over again when I want it back.
So can I still set whether the lock screen asks for PIN easily somehow? Is the only way to do this to undo the phone's encryption? I could do that easily enough, all partitions have been backed up in recovery just prior to encryption.
