Hi, i want to use a face unlock that works this way:
After pressing the power button, i must slide to the wanted direction (unlock, sound off, phone,camera). After that, the phone must get the image of the user face to unlock and give the option to unlock by pattern (in case there is no light,etc.) and then it goes to the direction.
I'm using the ICS face unlock which is just like this, but it doesn't have the option to imediately unlock by pattern and sometimes the screen wher eshould be the front camera image just stay blank and it goes to the pattern...
I downloaded an app called Facelock for apps, butit recomneds that the user disable the phone screenlock andthis way i wonthave the slide option.
Anybody have a suggestion??
Please, the ICS facelock isn't working all the time...

Right...so somehow a really long time ago I managed to root my HTC Hero while adb did not even work properly (couldn't use most of the commands). Either way....I now have Froyo 2.2.1 special edition flashed with ADW launcher but I can't see the slide to unlock screen. The same happened with Froydvillain 1.7.2 with LauncherPro.
It doesn't matter what button I press to wake my phone up, it never shows the slide to unlock screen. I've searched through all the settings on both and haven't found anything. Maybe i'm missing something. maybe it just is an error. Please help me find a suitable solution How do I get my slide lock back?
PS: my biggest problem is not having slide/lockscreen music controls. I use bTunes to get around that (controls before pattern unlock shows) but it lags.
-edit-
I found a setting I overlooked but hats not completely what I wanted. Settings -> Location & Security -> Set up screen lock and disable it or set to none. Now I get an slide to unlock but fr security reasons (obviously) I want slide to unlock and then a pattern.

"slide to unlock lock screen with pattern" on Modaco forums (since i can't post urls)
slide + pin is a possible. still hoping someone finds slide + pattern
At least for me, the hardware button is more than enough accidental turn on protection. Is there anyway to turn off slide to unlock?
When I had my Droid, I remember there were several methods available to do this; but I don't remember what any of them were called or if they are compatible. I know that GoLocker (the GO lock screen replacement) is NOT compatible, at least when installed through the Market.
Try the No Lock app from the market.
After setting up a security pin I have no slide to unlock on my device. I hit a button it asks for the pin i set i type it in and it goes straight to whatever was last on screen without asking me to slide to unlock,
The method with slide to unlock is redundant and annoying. How to remove slide to unlock?
I'm in the same boat.. every time I try to turn on fingerprint unlock, I still have to slide to unlock.. I'm missing something here..
I don't get it. When you have finger print as your unlock method there is no slide to unlock. They are mutually exclusive, you can't have both.

I have experienced the Slide to Unlock screen when I have a paired bluetooth device that I have listed as trusted. I think this is what these guys are talking about, and it is annoying. I wish it would just unlock to the home screen.
I think you should upgrade to latest firmware, i never got slide to unlock screen when i use finger screen function!
Look attachment!

Slide to unlock shows when you use the smartlock feature to keep your phone unlocked. It's there to prevent you from butt dialing someone.
Go to secure lock settng > secure lock time and set it to instant.
That way every time u lock your phone it will ask for finger print and will unlock right away

This man probably has it, your phone will not go to the lockscreen when fingerprint security is checked unless you enabled trusted devices and are near one. It should in that case simply go to the home screen as it does on most devices when similar schemes are enabled but it instead switches to swipe to unlock making the whole thing not only pointless but more work then never enabling trusted devices at all.
Its either a bug or stupidity, hopefully they get it changed.
Make sure you don't have any trusted bluetooth devices set up. If you do, you'll always have to swipe whether fingerprint authentication is enabled or not.
Aha!

Ha- that actually does work as a workaround, but sorry... What I want (and think OP is after) is to just turn off the swipe.
If the phone if unlocked, show me the home screen.
I want to take the risk of the buttdial!
Use case- pick up unlocked phone, press the side button, see home screen. Not swipe to get to home screen.
Don't know if that's a feature request or a rant or just a bit of both.

I tried to use No Lock Home module for Xposed instead of built in Smart Lock. But it doesn't eliminate Swipe to Unlock either.
I had my S6 set up to just require a pattern to unlock. Worked fine for the first 6 months I owned it. But since I allowed Samsung to upgrade my software, a swipe is needed before it will allow a pattern unlock. This happened to my wife's phone too. Thanks for the ****ing annoying "upgrade" Samsung.
I've got cyanogenmod 12.1 with android 5.1.2. Normally I use a PIN to unlock my phone but when I'm at home I'd like to just use my face. This doesn't work because I can't get the option for faceunlock.
In Settings -> Lock screen -> Smart lock, trusted faces is on
but in 'choose lock screen', it's not there
and 'Smart lock (Google)' is enabled
Questions:
How do I get faceunlock to work?
How can I use a PIN, except when I'm at home when I want to use faceunlock? I tried setting up trusted places but it didn't work.

Face unlock is a part of smart lock. Since it's not as secure as pin or password Face unlock (and other unlock methods like trusted place) should be used with a pin or password.
If face unlock is switched on under smart lock and configured. That's mean it's working. To confirm it's working lock with the power button and unlock. Then at the bottom instead of a padlock symbol you will see a small face icon. That means the camera is on and searching for your face.

Smart unlock methods stops working if u lock your phone using 3rd party apps. Instead of the lock button.

You're linked to instructions didn't work.
Link worked for me. As explained face lock is now an additional unlock method, you need set a primary one first (pin, pattern, password). Then you can select to use trusted face. I have a pattern lock but if the phone recognises my face when I wake it I can just slide to unlock without enter pattern as it recognises me.
Hi Guys,
I'm pretty new to EMUI but I got this anoying thing. When I am using WhatsappWeb for example and I get several notifications, my phone unlocks itself and goes to the homescreen without any need to swipe on the lockscreen. This also occures when I lock and directly unlock it over the buttons (home or power), it just jump over the lockscreen like I would have swiped.
It is probably configuration based, something like "10 seconds after locking -> quick unlock" or something but I havent found out yet.
I want to swipe everytime to unlock the lockscreen and for sure notifications shouldnt be able unlock the phone.
I dont have pattern/PIN/password lock or fingerprint enabled.
Thanks
For this, you could use faceunlock + pin or faceunlock + scheme.
Whith faceunlock, there is an option to unlock only after you slide...
