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
I got iris scan with pin secondary. My pin has had no problems unlocking same as iris
For curiosity sake have you tried pattern unlock since reset?

sim pin?
When asking something like this you should provide a keystroke-by-keystroke guide to replicate the event exactly, because its not till its replicated that troubleshooting can begin in general.
i'm going to assume its the general lock screen pin thing:
winmo start button -> settings -> personal tab -> lock
He means typing your password to unlock it in general. It's not a problem, just annoying. I completely agree. I thought I saw video of someone using 6.5 and they didn't have to type their password. I've searched and I couldn't find an answer.
Yes, S2U2 is a great alternative. I use it, and love how it allows you to see your email, sms, appointments, and battery level all without unlocking.
yea sorry, i meant when the phone goes to sleep or not used...or active sync..it doesn't go away because it's a security prompt. i installed throttlelock and apparently the security prompt came on after soft reset, and i couldn't by pass it because it didn't recognize my pin, i then had to hard reset the whole phone because after six attempts everything got wiped out...
i'm not sure if s2u2 will do the same..meaning, install, then soft reset, and the pin prompt comes back on to finish booting the phone...

S2U2 doesn't use a pin. You just slide your finger to unlock the phone. It's not so much about security as it is about protecting your phone from being used accidentally... like a typical key lock.
for some reason i installed s2u2, but when charging, i get the s2u2 slide lock and also the pin lock prompt again...any idea how to get rid of the pin lock prompt when charging the phone?
I've recently bought the 4g touch and installed the starburst rom and I've found that if I have any kind of security setup (pin, password) that none of the lockscreens seem to be enabled. As soon as I wake the phone up it throws me straight into the pin/password screen. Has anyone else ran into this type of issue before and have a fix? Any help would be appreciated because I'm at a loss for solution and even google isn't helping me unfortunately.

I am not sure if this is how it is supposed to function or not, but I can confirm that this is the same behavior I experience. If you select "None", then the pin lock doesn't even come up. I have to select sgs2 and it will then show my lock screen... but yeah, if you select anything else with a lock setup it does not show that lockmod. -Grand
this is the expected behavior. otherwise you'd have to unlock the phone twice everytime once for the pin then once for the normal lockscreen.
i've never used a pin on any of my phones is the dual unlock normal/what you were expecting ?

My previous two phones, HTC Hero and Evo 4g both had the lockscreen show up, swipe to unlock, and the pass/pin screen show up. I suppose I figured that was default behavior for most phones. To me it makes the most sense to me to have the lockscreen, swipe to unlock, then show pin/pass screen since it would allow flexibility of music controls/phone/sound without having to log into the phone and provide some basic security.
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)

Hello,
I have an unlocked HTC 10 and have noticed over the past few months that on occasion, the password protection is turned off. I have a password set up as well as the fingerprint reader and both work well. But every so often, I'll notice that the lock key is unlocked on the lock screen and I can swipe up without having to use my fingerprint or type in a password. This is not secure and is a glitch that needs to be fixed. I checked through all of my security settings and cannot find anything that could be causing the issue. Smart Lock is only enabled for my car and my home. I notice this unlocked lock screen when I'm at work so it's not related to that. Trusted voice, face, and on-body detection are all off. The only way I can get the phone to be locked again and require my fingerprint or password is to restart the device. The issue still persists with the new Android 7.0 update as well.
Anyone else notice this issue? Any suggestions?
Thank you
Hi there, Please help me with this weird bug in my MM3's lock function. I haven't read about it anywhere else and I did not update or tweak my rooted system in any way so I'm at a loss as to what caused this probleman d how to fix it.
I am no longer able to employ a simple numerical or pattern screen lock. I go to settings, choose and then confirm the number or pattern, and hit accept -- at which point it asks me for a fingerprint (which I do not want to add) and when I hit cancel, the phone remains unlocked. If I hit add a fingerprint and refuse to present my finger, the phone also remains unlocked. This is so freaking weird!
(MM3 rooted but on stock Android 9 PKQ1.181007.001 -- Miui Global 11.0.6 Stable)
Honestly, I wouldn't give a damn as I never use a screen lock except I am in fact forced to use it every few weeks or whenever I want to review my Brave browser passwords. It forces me to set a lock screen in order to see them. So if there's a workaround just to see passwords, that would do me fine.
Because the basic number and pattern locks aren't functioning properly, I wouldn't even consider adding a fingerprint (and in fact, I have never done so. I have a probably irrational distrust of fingerprint, voice and retina security ... plus I live alone so such measures aren't necessary)
Can anyone give me any clues as to what could be causing this and how to fix it or get around it? Or even if there is a way to see my Brave passwords without employing a lock?
Theoretically, I could try temporarily installing a fingerprint lock which I could then remove after reviewing my Brave passwords. But I have an irrational dislike of fingerprint, voice and retina locks and never use that stuff. Moreover, given the basic number and gesture locks aren't functioning properly, the last thing I want to do is try a fingerprint.
