Let me know if I'm correct on my assumptions-
1- If you want a screen lock you need one of the screen lock selections no matter what as a default.
2- If I want face unlock can I turn off the finger print option? I don't have to have both Finger and face, right?
At the moment I have a pattern, Face Unlock and a finger print set up. Am I running too many?
Thanks
Yes but no.

You have to have a pattern/pin but the FP or FU are optional. At least thats what the phone told me.
I'm rocking pattern + both FP and FU. Your choice.

Is there a way to enable both the "slide" option and face unlock ?
What exactly do you mean by slide to unlock. Do you mean the one where you choose your own unlock pattern? Yes you can choose to have it use the unlock pattern if the face unlock doesn't work or you can choose a PIN unlock.
He means the default lock option where you slide to the right to unlock and to the left to go to the camera.. and no I don't believe you can
What would be the point of turning on face unlock if all anyone had to do to get on the phone was to wait for it to not work and then you just slide to unlock? Doesn't make any sense at all which is why it can't be done.

You aren't understanding the question.
He is asking for something like slide to unlock which then leads to face unlock..

Why would you want to do this?
Most likely an extra security measure. Or when carrying it your pocked that the face unlock screen doesn't turn on.

This would be great, but it would imply app tweaks for system apps like the camera .
The Razr has exactly that, and it's great, but the slide is not as cool as GNex is .
I would love that in my phone too, Slide, and then unlock. So if I slide to the camera, I can open it and take a quick shot without unlocking it (In the razr the camera app opens but the gallery is locked because you have not unlocked your phone).

i think that was there before too..
The whole point of a pattern or pin lock is too prevent the lock screen from opening unless correct input is provided. Whereas lockscreen widgtes take u directly inside..
If they were enabled with pattern/pin lock the whole idea of security would be defeated as anyone copuld open your phone just by swiping them. Its a logical enhancement and not a bug.
sometimes I want to see the widget without unlocking my phone. And how I want to unlock my phone is my choice, whether password or pattern or none. But I should be able to see my widget.

i widget is kind of a short cut. If you swipe it across it opens up the correspoding app and also unlocks the phone simultaneously. This cant be done in case of pateern/pin lock,

yeah i know there was a way. But on a non rooted stock device its not possible. And dont blame samsung. Its a development that will be done time i guess; similarly how it was done before :good:
can anyone suggest any good app which has face unlock as well as finger print unlock, i've seen many apps with fingerprint unlock and many apps with face unlock, i want both put together will be good. for instance, system level lockscreen password can be unlocked by fingerprint as well as face by smart unlock option. is there any option like that for applock?
Thanks in advance.
search for app lock fingerprint password on playstore. its an app by top developers.

I have tried a few including the cheetah mobile app but found fingersecurity to be the fastest and the most reliable.
But i don't really understand the need for dual locking as your fingerprint is unique and the only way someone can break into the app is if you allow them to set up their fingerprint in security settings. Or they will have to go thru a rather complicated process of copying ur fingerprint, which i don't think someone will bother unless u r Angelina jolie or scarlett johanson

i don't want dual locking system. i would like to unlock my phone by fingerprint when lights off and i want my phone to unlock itself when it recognises my face in the day light. this feature will let me just open the app and just look to unlock and no need to put in any password or even keep my finger print. I'm doing the same for my normal lock, in day light if i press lock/unlock key it automatically unlocks. but it is useless since i would press the fingerprint key to unlock. but for apps it would be nice if i open any app and it automatically unlocks for me alone.

I'm already using lockdown pro and this app allows me to unlock with fingerprint, but it lacks face recognition. which would be more interesting.

Ok, so I setup fingerprint (wow, it's significantly worse than my LG G8) so I wanted to use an alternate to unlock my phone. I set up face recognition which completed way faster than I thought. Now, for the life of me I can't figure out how to use it as the method to unlock my phone when the screen is off. I feel like I checked off all the right boxes but I still can't get it to work. Can someone please point me in the right direction here?

You can set the lift to wake on.
It is much faster than tapping.
Search for lift to wake in setting.

It seems that my ad blocking app BLOKADA was the culprit. Which is weird because it has never caused an issue before. Thanks for your input though
I use Face Unlock and Rise to wake, I don't have to do anything, but pick my phone up and it unlocks instantly
Its a pain to swipe down from the top to see all notifications on the such a big phone. Is there a way to swipe down from anywhere on the home screen to see all notifications? Just like in samsung phones?

As far as I know, no such option in stock launcher's settings or general settings.
I find it most convenient to just swipe down on the finger print sensor.

It's under the Fingerprint ID section in Biometrics and passwords. Huawei gives you a lot of options with the sensor, you can select which ones you want to turn on.
