Locking with a software button

I encountered an interesting issue, I think it might be a bug. When I use any of the "lock screen" apps (I tried 4 or 5 different ones), the phone cannot be unlocked via fingerprint. If I put my finger on after locking using a software button, it goes straight to PIN screen and does not recognise the fingerprint.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I always liked using a button to turn screen off instead of using the power button but does not seem possible with this phone.

It's not a bug. It's Android 6.0 Marshmallow security feature. It presence on all android devices with fingerprint sensor and Android 6.0
Well.. You can bypass it. but you have to root your device and install xposed. Here is the link! :highfive:

That's interesting, I had an honor 7 with marshmallow on it prior to this and it worked fine with a fingerprint scanner and a software lock.
Not saying you are not right by any means just trying to understand why it worked on the honor and doesn't work on oneplus.

Must have been an implementation on Huawei side. In any case, locking the screen using a double tap on the home button works quite well for me and replaces a software lock 100%.

How to Disable Screen Wake for Ring app

Hey all, my ring doorbell app wakes the screen anytime I get an alert. I want to keep the notifications on but don't want the screen to wake. It wakes even in my pocket which I want to of course avoid. It may just be a bug in the app but I should be able to limit that from happening. Or so I hope anyway.
I have tried the following.
1. Switched all notifications pertaining to the app and individual cameras to "sound only"
2. In the app I have disabled "alerts open full screen video"
3. I have disabled heads up notifications globally through ADB.
4. Disabled ambient display.
5. Disabled notifications on lock screen.
I'm at a loss on what to do next. Any ideas are appreciated at this point.
TIA

I've struggled with the same thing for months. It never used to do it, but after an update earlier this year it became the new normal for me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Hopefully somebody chimes in with some sort of work around.

I'm having the same problem with a Sony XZ1 phone (Android 8.0.0). I spoke with Ring at length and it's 'apparently' a problem with my phone, not their App.
I think that's a load of rubbish and something they need to address and fix. I installed the App on another Android phone running an earlier version of software, the App installs with different options and doesn't wake up the screen. So it's obviously dependent on the OS version but as other Apps don't have the same problem I can only conclude that it's an issue with the Ring App.

Has anyone tried uninstalling the app and then install an older version from APK mirror? Not even sure its on there but it's worth a go

That's a great idea. There are plenty of versions to try on APK mirror, one or two per month from 2018. Not a good sign for a reliable and stable app.
I'll give it a go later unless anyone gets there first and can suggest a 'good' version to try

Were you able to find an older version that doesn't have the screen wake behavior?
edit: Pixel 2 - going back to 2.0.66.8 still has the screen wake behavior regardless of notification setting.
edit 2: 2.0.57.2 does the same thing...

Looks like the latest ring version finally let's you fix this. Select your devices, go to notification settings, then select sound only. The default is sound plus pop up. I no longer have the issue after making the change.

Can anyone confirm if turning off the 'plus pop' in the ring app settings works? I have a new pixel 3 on Android pie and the app is still turning on the screen at every alert event with settings set to just sound or just silent.

I'm having the same issue with the ring app. It wakes the screen. Really sucks when phone is in my pocket. I have tried every option and or combo of options. I have a pixel 3a on Android 10. Android 10 does have a option to wake screen for notifications found under display advanced, lock screen. But it is turned off

Still a problem on Android 10, No combinations of settings has been able to stop this for me. Of course Ring denies this even though I have sent a logcat to them.

SAMSUNG A50 Automatically Unlocks Problem.

From few days. My A50 is getting automatically unlocks in my pocket. Is anyone is facing the same issue ??

Please specify more details. What do you mean by automatically unlocks? You get an alert or something? Does it unlock and launch apps on it's own when you place it in your pocket? Which biometric methods are turned on and is Google smart lock on?

Sometimes a random app opens when i check my phone. Currently i am using fingerprint unlock method for my device.

To prevent that, turn on Accidental Touch option and cure the phone

Accidental touch option is already on.

Check some apps installed. Maybe some of them making trouble.
On my phone, all's good. Hmmm.

My A50 is getting automatically unlocks in my pocket. I am also facing the same issue. I am using biometrics and faceunlock . Accidental touch is also turned on. Whats the use of secuirty if it can be unlocked my pocket can unlock this phone without biometrics and face. I face so many times in a day. I read samsung s10 also facing this same issue.

Hey I am not having any issue like that. Turn off your facial recognition and see if it still happens.

Smart lock or anything on?
Listen, turn off all biometric methods and only keep pin/pattern and see?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy A50 using XDA Labs

I am facing the same issue. My phone become hot, and there is a message that biometric unlock fail for 5 times and I have to insert the pin. Meanwhile, the battery drained at least 7-8%

heat is normal while playing game, may b u shud try hard reset. Hope it will solve problem. I am using face unlock coz biometric unlocks takes time to unlock. Biometric i use rarely sometimes may b our screen has sometimes white layer of dust or oily . So that can be the reason for fngerprint problem.

Maybe u are using smart lock

Hi, Please check if you are using trusted location or device. If that option turned on turn off trusted location or device. I can not surely tell you where the option is because I will receive my device tomorrow. but there must be a option.

Just visit a service centre. Its already in warranty period. So dont worry.

Hi all ,
My samsung A50 also have the same problem , automatically unlocking while in pocket on driving, tried different settings as per various suggestions, such as accidental touch, home screen app changes, disabling of trusted devices,on body detection..etc..etc....
But no use, the issue existing .
But after a recent setting change, now its ok , some days over, till no problem. Try it , May be its workout .
And reply me the result ,...
Firstly make sure , all the normal settings are ok , accidental touch protection enabled /also disable the on body detection , trusted devices/ driving, ....the same is in the link of Smart Lock .
Then
Advanced Features - Motions & Gestures - disable the lift to wake & double tap to wake.
Other items will enable no problem , such as smart stay,alert,easy mute .
Try it and reply

Go to settings ---》 smart lock --》voice match --》while driving (turn off)

Same issue on my A70.
The "Accidental touch protection" feature doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe because it doesn't have a sensor, just the camera? Either way, the software is bugged.
I ended up turning off "Double tap to wake", as I don't really need that.

I also have the same problem that the phone unlocks in my pocket.
So iam trying now the options above to turn off some options.
I'll let know if it will work or not.

Yes my divice also unlocking automatically while in pocket

Annoying Slide to Unlock with ads

I have recently bought A50 in India, for very few hours it is quite a wonderful experience but after a few updates, it has become very annoying. I am using pin lock and FP as my security option along Always on Display.
whenever i am trying to unlock the cell, Slide to Unlock option automatically comes up with annoying advertisements. max time it comes once i pick the phone, i have to slide to get fingerprint option or post FP it comes automatically and many times it leads to open up playstore due to touch on the ad.
Is there any option to shut it off? i have tried thru no secutiry setting and all but it keep exists.
Thanks very much

Im not sure what you're talking about but I'm guessing is it lockscreen stories?? If yes you can turn it off from here

You cannot turn it off but set a new wallpaper and then

I also do not have any idea from where these coming, this is very annoying.
i am attaching the two scsht of lock screen and settings. by the way, while taking scsht it comes with an extension name as daily fit.
i am thinking it is something related to One UI.

Update:
Issue identified and solved. This is not related to One UI or updates. there is an app "Daily Fit" which automatically got downloaded via Galaxy App. while taking the screenshot, i found "DailyFit" is mentioned as like "Settings". have uninstalled the app and it is working properly without "Slide to Unlock" screen with annoying ads.
Thanks very much for your quick replies

Question S21 fe fingerprint not working (always on bug)

Hello..there is a bug between fingerprint sensor and always on screen....i set my always on screen setting to tap to show...when i tap the the screen for first time, the fingerprint is come on bottom of screen and there is no problem...
if i dont use fingerprint and let the screen goes off, then after a while, for second time , when i tap the screen there is no fingerprint icon on screen and i cant use fingerprint....even if i dont tap the screen for second time, i cant use fingerprint after first time and i must double tap to make the screen on and use fingerprint...
the fingerprint set to always on
thanks

It's an old bug, reported a long ago.. i assume you are still in one ui 5.0? because it is solved in 5.1 update.
If you are yet to receive one ui 5.1, there is a workaround. Set your fingerprint icon to display "never" on AOD. It will bypass the bug and will not be an issue further.
