I find it very easy to hit the lock button by accident, particularly when turning the phone horizontally or when passing it to someone to show them something. Is there an existing or a possibility of a tweak where the screen locking would only happen by, say, a double press of the lock button?
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...

Hi guys, i have a question if possible such a thing locking screen with touching finger print sensor

im looking forward for your precious comments.
Hello,
I am having this issue since i have updated my phone to marshmallow.
When i set "screen lock type to fingerprint" and try to unlock my phone with fingerprint i am getting this.
Enter pattern instead of using fingerprint recognition because of security policy
Is there any way around to always use fingerprint.
Thank you.
Do you long press the home button to turn the screen off?
It's Samsung security ..no way around it... It usual happens if.. 1~uturn off screen than turn it back on immediately..2~if your screen been off a while..it's no bug... It's part of Samsung 6.0.1 security
I don't believe that's true. The only time fingerprint asks me for an additional password/pattern is the first time after I reboot and if I turn off the screen by long pressing the home button.

Use the power button instead if you want to use fingerprint
I am considering buying S20 plus.
Can you unlock the phone with just the fingerprint scanner or do you need to first press the power button? If both have to be pressed what is the point of not having the fingerprint scanner on the power button?
