Lock security

Hi guys, I've been lurking for a while until I got my GN with tmo plan. So far it's been a great phone coming from an iphone 4, definitely a step up and a different experience.
Anyway, wondering if anyone know how to set up the security settings. I set the auto lock to 30mins with pattern pass, and but as soon as I hit the power button and turn it back on, it ask for my pass. I thought it supposed to unlock immediately? unless I left it "off" for more than 30mins. Is this normal on android or am I missing something?

I think if you lock manually, it locks. You can let screen time out by itself and it will just unlock. I use 1 minute screen timeout and just let it time out by itself if I'm going back to device soon. Screen time out adjustable in addition to security lock.

I don't use the pattern unlock so have never run into this, but I think it might be a logical issue. The pattern lock and various other options are under "Screen Security" and so are basically just screen unlocks. The additional option for the auto lock seems superfluous and illogical, but maybe someone else can shed light on that. I am not sure why the auto lock after screen sleep would be needed if the pattern is already needed to reactivate the screen/disable the screen lock...

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

Theres no way it can unlock in your pocket if you have a secure lock pin pattern face recognition or fingerprint. So i don't see your problem in this?
It won't open any apps if it is locked.
So what is everyone complaining about.
As for me my touch protection works just fine.

Problem isnt security. I use face rec. and fingerprint. But phone every step while walking waking up. Battery drain very very fast. Because wake up and screen on for 10 seconds. Yesterday i walked 1 hours, my phone screen on 15 minutes in my pocket. Is it normal for you. There is a big problem

There is possibility to unlock phone in pocket if you have set on "on-body detection" in "smart lock".

I initially had Ghost Touch problems during jogging but with the change of placement of the phone, i now dont have that. Make sure that the screen faces the pocket side not the thigh side. Most of the ghost touches/DT2W happen while interaction with the thigh.

I have some problem and resolve this with disable double tap wake
up

FIXED!!!
I found the fix! Thank the lord, because this was very annoying. (I'm using A50, not sure if this fix will work for S10 and A70).
You can re-enable the double-tap and lift to wake, you can even re-enable on body detection, fingerprints, trusted location and gear(smart watch, headphones etc) unlocking methods, because none of them are the issue.
The issue is Samsung decided to ship the phone with flip wallet automatic unlock enabled.
To fix it:
Go into settings -> scroll down to advanced features -> click accessories -> turn off automatically unlock on flip wallet.
I have not had the issue since I changed this setting, I have double tap to wake and lift to wake both enabled. I have face detection on. I even have smart-lock on for my galaxy watch and a trusted location.
I am not using finger scan(too slow) or on body detection(don't need it, nor do I trust it), but have also tested them and they work fine after this change.
This single handedly fixed the issue for me after weeks of searching the web and trying different settings. So thank you Samsung for shipping the device with an obscure setting that very few people will use enabled!
Cheers, please spread this so that others can find out.

Just learned I hate s10+ & android

I just learned I hate s10+ & android
S10+:
Uninstalled bixby using adb. Button still remains.
The orientation of volume keys and that damn bixby button that i had to create a samsung account to disable it. While powering the device i need to grab the other side with my fingers and squeeze which the volume keys are
Samsung phone app: on speaker screen sleeps after 10 or so seconds.
Found an option called smart stay. enabled that and found lift to wake option..
no way to disable face recognition to open up the screen to the lock screen. I end up hitting the power button to turn the screen on it gets turned on by seeing a face right after that I hit the button and it Powers off this is in a matter of seconds. can't break a habit of powering on the screen with the power button. And that's if the face recognition works. Sometimes it doesnt turn on. There is a way to disable this but face rec to unlock the phone has to be enabled, defeats the purpose.
Trying turn screen off, end up taking a screenshot.
Battery sucks.
When you grab the phone watching something horizontal, the palm covers the bottom speaker.
?Now i really hate s10+, no aptx hd support?

Android "10"
Autofill fighting each other, Android, google chrome and lastpass auto fill is a disaster.
i find myself double tapping on the screen, i see the button as an example get tapped & button gets like shaded as if pressed, gotta tap again.
The clipboard, select all moves from the original place and jumps to "more" for more clipboard options.
the cursor upside down gps logo drag is stupid, draws up a magnifying glass, very irritating.
voice to text is just bad.
Some times highlight something, the clipboard does not popup, gotta grab the page n scroll it, clipboard pops up.
Google suggestions & auto correction sucks.
Battery sucks.
No screen protector, holding down on a field to paste, gotta hold field 2 or three times for paste clipboard pops up.

I'll update this op as I go long or if I recall any bloops.
Let the discussion begin. Be adults.

strange... i have no problems at all... from button, auto fill, clipboard.
but sorry... i dont use any of samsung app.. (lastpass, keyboard, voice command etc).. I'm using google.

The only issues I am having with Android 10 is AT&T not knowing how to properly roll out an update before getting rid of all the bugs.

Last Pass is finally usable on Android 10. Not sure why your having problems with it.....

Android Poops allover Crapple. So much more you can do with Open Source. Customisation and apps designed to do specific things that the IPhone can only dream of.
Id rather have a phone i can personalize rather than be held hostage by Apple and limited software .

I have been Android user since the beginning and have a 2nd device which has been an iPhone for 4 years.
Android is superior to iOS in many many ways. The thing is, for the average Joe, the person who will use Verizon's Message+ app just because it was installed, for this user iOS is a better option. Simply works and also simple... no carrier crap.

I know a lady, had the IPhone 6, but really liked the look of the S7 or S8 , cant remember which, she only had it for a month, but she is like theres too much stuff on this to understand, so she went back to iPhone, then decided the IPhone was boring and migrated back to the S9.
As for performance, my partner's friend has the latest iPhone and when they are on a call together in messenger her friend keeps dropping out, my partner has the Samsung A50 because she dosent like curved edges. There never seems to be issues with other people in messenger.
And i think most governments use iPhones because they can't be modified by the average person. And this is why apple sales get their quota, government organizations and Reporter's. Even Mr Trumpty prefers his Samsung over IPhone.

This thread is just weird. If there are multiple apps that handle the same call on Android then you are presented with a prompt by the OS to select a default app to handle that function and then going forward that app will be the one to answer the call when an action triggers that function so I don't understand how this user is getting multiple clipboard apps getting triggered by the clipboard function.

to add another thing there's no way to disable face recognition to open up the screen to the lock screen. I end up hitting the power button to turn the screen on it gets turned on by seeing a face right after that I hit the button and it Powers off this is in a matter of seconds. can't break a habit of powering on the screen with the power button.

LOLWUTT? Just take the phone back and get something else because clearly you don't have a single clue what you're doing or you're trolling.

Only complain I have is that my 3-4 sot equates to 60-80% usage of the battery. I've cleared cache, put most apps to sleep, no gos, no wifi (at work no wifi) no media except Spotify to and from work (1hr total) no nothing autosync.
I'm sick of it. Makes me miss my old phones more because I could leave those things on and get 2 days avg out of them before charging, and that includes watching Netflix, Hulu, YouTube or my Plex server

There is an option in settings > biometrics and securtity> face id > "stay in lock screen" after the phone is unlocked by face-unlock.
You just toggle that switch on.
If you toggle this on, next time you press the power button, the phone will get into the lock screen, it will unlock (if it reads your face), but it will stay in lock screen (so as you can read your notifications etc.). You will have to scroll up to get into the home screen.
I suppose that's what you want to do, correct?

Can you please explain what you are trying to do?

If you don't enable face id, it will not unlock and take you to home screen directly. It will stay in lock screen till you unlock it either by the fp scanner or the pin etc.
If you want to have face id enabled, but not get into home screen directly, you toggle the switch I told you in my previous post.
So what is it that you want to do?

He's trying hard to troll, you just covered every other sensible option.

Smart Lock not working with location

I have a S20 ultra ATT, and I setup Smart Lock to unlock the phone when I am at my house. 95% of the time, it does not work, I have to use my fingerprint instead. I have edited the address multiple times using Google maps and the location is accurate, but I can't get it to unlock most of the times.
Not sure if this is related to the GPS issues people have been experiencing with their S20

I guess not a lot of people use this feature.
I started using it since I was tired of putting my finger on the screen everything I want to unlock the phone when I am at home and using it a lot

I got this issue on S8, S9+ and S10+. Since then I use Bixby Routines to do such things and this is working fine.

S8 s10+ and s20 ultra all fail to work properly with the smart Lock location setting. It hasn't gotten any better, just like the fingerprint scanner.

Maybe the GPS goes to sleep when the phone is locked?
This is what separates apple from the rest
I can't believe they put out a feature out there knowing it is not working.

What's weird is that on my phone during the lock screen, it says phone unlocked by smart lock. When I swipe it takes me to the fingerprint lol

I actually figured out. You have to swipe up from the very very bottom of the phone if it says phone unlocked by smart lock.. Kinda taking that verbiage and dragging it up. Also I set my location in Google as coordinates not the actual address. I dropped the pin close to my actual location and set that as my home.
