I'm ok with the stock lock screen but is there a good one compatible with the S6's fingerprint scanner
yeah I was also looking for one accepting fingerprint unlock, but haven't found one yet
This one claims it supports fingerprints, but I haven't tested it myself.

doesn't support fingerprints yet... nonetheless, a pretty good lockscreen replacement with a beta channel. Seems like they are still working on the fingerprint stuff as the lockscreen settings make no mention of it yet.

I actually installed it last night after posting the link, to see what it's like. It does have fingerprint support, and it works really well, although it seems a little slower at unlocking than the stock lockscreen at times.
What's slightly annoying is that it doesn't support known locations so even when I'm at home I need to identify myself every time. Saying that, you have the option of using a passcode or pattern unlock too, which is much better than the "backup password" on the stock screen.
Thanks for the replies guys.
How do you get the fingerprint to work? I can't find a setting for it anywhere.

Thanks, I assumed that's where it was. I sent a bug report to the dev, it looks like it is affecting some devices (mostly edge's based on the reviews I'm seeing).

oooh, will check out. ta
ok, that didn't work for some reason. wouldn't enable. "FaceLock for apps" works fine free ver limited to 1 app and market/settings etc.
I used it more than a month ago, i was able to select every app i wanted to 'facelock' this may have changed with a recent update though.
Sorry i cannot help you further.
You could try typing face unlock or something like that into the market.

I still use Visidon and it lets me face protect any app I wish, I did have to do the 'face training' before it would let me enable that feature though, I have been using it for a few weeks and there hasn't been a recent update that I have noticed.
maybe it's an ICS thing, or the density i run the phone at. either way, it wouldn't let me enable it
i'm in work tonight so will give it a shot again.
Hello. I wrote an app to deal with a problem with the SPen on my N7000 Samsung Note. Not sure if it will work on other Note models but would appreciate someone trying it out and telling me if it works on their device as well. Please see my original posting here. Thanks

App Now On App Store
I have paid Google and have posted this app on the Play Store. I have also been at work on a new version that will incorporate a more complete UI (easy to be more complete that what is in this version), scheduled operations, and the ability to toggle auto-rotate as well as dominant hand (as some sources claim this helps with issues related to landscape versus portrait mode). Thanks to all for your feedback as this has encouraged me to go further!

Well that sounds unpleasant. Can I ask a few follow-ups? Did your phone prompt you to grant root access to Reset Spen? If so, did you grant it? Is your phone completely stock other than being rooted (for example, any kernel changes)? Finally (at least for now), what su program and version is installed on your phone? Thanks for your help with this.

Thanks for the info and screen shots. Right now I am stumped. Same su and settings as my Note N7000 but I have only ICS 4.0.4. I have a couple response from (what I assume to be and have emailed to confirm are) other Note II users (see one in this thread) and they have not encountered this. I will be following-up and apologize for the hangs.
Just tested it on the official MIUI rom based on touchwiz. App does its job but after the notification that the s-pen has been reset the launcher (stock MIUI home) freezes for like 15sec.
I'm not really bothered by this so i would say great job on this :thumbup:

Yikes! I appreciate the positive comments but I am not at all happy about this freeze. Can you tell me what su program/version is being used? When my app runs the first time, are you prompted by su to give permission (I presume so since you are getting a success)? Is there any message displayed from the su app or anything in the su app's logs? Anything in logcat?
Thanks

Thanks Promi! Unfortunately, I see no log entries from my app in that file. Did you try running the app (and enduring the freeze issue) which this was being recorded? I assume you did but since I see no evidence, I had best confirm this. I appreciate your time and help with all this and apologize for the problem.
So this is achieved, effectively, by toggling the dominant hand for the S Pen? How curious, very helpful! Doing so seems to have made a difference to my slightly less sensitive right hand margin.

Thanks once again. In the logcat recording, the only thing I see that looks possibly bad is a NullPointerException coming from the package com.sec.android.widgetapp.ap.hero.accuweather.widget.WeatherClock which I take to be some form of widget on your home screen. When, in development of my app (my first one), my poor programming resulted in a NullPointerException this resulted in freezes followed by program stopped messages. I am not blaming anyone/thing. But I am wondering if there may not be some bad interaction between my app and this widget that causes it to NullPointerException? Is it possible to remove this widget temporarily and try again to see if the problem persists and, if so, get another catlog? Thanks!
My only weather widget is stock samsung nature ux weather/clock widget
After removing it, touchwiz still hangs.
i will remove unneeded things from my desktop/phone and try gen new catlog.

Well, I am likely grasping at straws here. But that is all I saw in the catlog that was untoward. The fact that I see nothing from my app in there is very disconcerting and confusing. Thanks again for all your time and help.

Hi,
I just got the new update B330 at Today (this is the official ota, not the beta version). And now sometimes the fingerprint scanner doesn't work when i want to unlock the phone. Sometimes it is working, but... Somebody else recognised this problem? Any idea how to fix it?
For all my opinion is worth, I thought the fingerprint scanner was fast before but since I have upgraded to B330 today I have not had a problem with it. I would go as far to say its possibly a little quicker.

Hey!
my problem with the fingerprint is cux its slow now when i was in LilliPopp its was so fast but now when im in MM its slow!! anyone have the same problem?
I have it too. Do not worry. Probably because EMUI is a bit slow in response sometimes. Fingerprint is affected and also sometimes "desktop". Yes EMUI has some bugs.
I read that India got B431 that fixes some things, including fingerprint. Not as fast as for EMUI 3.1, but close enough.
Same for me. Sometime work fine and unlock device sometime didn't work. But i found that it reconize the finger because it doesn't vibrate to said finger wrong. I read somewhere that could be a problem with the sleep mode
It's a bit weird, but maybe i fixed it. So i just switched on this option inside of the developer options: Use legacy DHCP client. I just switched on and now it looks like working as well. My theory is the new DHCP client does not fully compatible with the EMUI, and making bugs in the system.
Same issue here : slow fingerprint read.

Now I disabled all animations in developer settings. Now fingerprint scan feels much faster. Maybe placebo maybe real. Try and see if helps you.
Rollback to 180 it's insane to use the fingerprint so slow

I just installed an update from tmobile something about bug fixes and security . Sorry was to busy to write down the details but hope it fixes the phantom touches..
UPDATE 2: Oh no, it actually made the phantom touches worse, now instead of just the top section where you have the camera droop the thumb coordinates would trigger buttons on that spot, but now with the update, according to the touch sensors from developer options it shows the left and right touch coordinates will trigger even more around the screen. I think it just broke this phone.
Can anyone pls confirm this. The update has made the phantom touches worse and now my phone is unusable to play games because it always triggers buttons I don't touch when I make certain movements playing the games or apps

Please enable developer options and then enable the two options, show touches and show touch data. On my V60 when I hold the phone horizontally as if to game using my left and right thumbs the touch data will show lines intersecting for each thumb press and the coordinates where the lines touch will show a circle indicating that point will trigger any onscreen button that it will touch. Can you pls try this, so I can see if I have a defective V60. Thanks

However, I have an issue with stock as well. Can't attach a gif, only sends a link, and no notification in AA unless it's a short code message. I'm getting real tired of having to switch to 3rd party to do those 2 things and then back again to see typing and delivery indicators and faster photo sharing.

The stock app is definitely much nicer then it used to be. I very much prefer it over Android messages when/if it's working. Thankfully like I said it just happened to start working for me again. Maybe it's just TMobile and google ironing out all the kinks who knows.

I have a problem with Smart Lock on Pixel 6.
When Trusted Locations or Trusted Devices is activated the fingerprint reader will not work properly from the lock screen.
It does not light up properly and I always have to put my thumb on it twice for it to unlock.
Have been like this since I bought it in November, have hoped that an update will solve it, but apparently not.
Have also googled a lot about the problem but can not find anyone else with the same problem, so do not really know what to do.
Does anyone else have this problem or anyone who has tips on how to solve it?
I have uploaded two videos so you can see my problem.
Smart Lock activated:
Smart Lock disabled:
My advice is to stop using Always On Display. That behavior is what was too annoying for me to bear with.

When on the lock screen, the phone is already unlocked through Smart Lock or if my fingerprint is asked, it is really fast.
