Hi guys!
I really love this phone, but I have a really, really, really annoying bug. I have only 2 days with this phone (MM updated since the first day). When I try to unlock with my finger it works most of the time, but in some occasions it ask me for the knock code or the pin directly, giving me no chance to use my fingerprint to unlock the phone. This is really annoying because I want to use the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone and it does not let me. Does anyone have the same problem with the V10? Any ideas for a possible solution? Thanks a lot!

We have this problem too and assume you are using a third party launcher (Nova, Google, etc). Switch back to LG stock launcher and it fixes the problem. Think it has something to do with the lockscreen permission changes from Lollipop to Marshmallow.

I'm actually using Nova. I will switch back to LG Stock Launcher (uggly, by the way), and I'll tell you if it worked or not for me. I'm thinking on the same about te permissions in MM. There is no way to upgrade permissions from the settings or something like that to keep using a third party launcher?
Thanks a lot for the help!

Did you ever find a resolution to this. It's pretty annoying but i'm not willing to give up Nova

I ran with LG's launcher for the past couple of weeks and since the recent beta updates to Nova shows no sign of a solution, I've reverted back to Nova and just switched to pattern unlock for the time being.
You know, even using nova, you can double tap the notification bar to turn off, and still use the fingerprint to unlock.

^ Incase anyone of you missed it, the finger print scanner works if you double tap the notification on Nova Launcher to lock the screen.

Try to factory reset, or change the unlock method to a different one, and then go back to fingerprint.
already did.factory reset by lg bridge..hmmmm
. i do hope its only a s/w issue. huhuhu
may due to mainboard problem

Speak for yourself. :laugh:
I'm on MM on my H960A AND I'm using Nova Launcher since the first day. Never had this issue. I only had a problem once after unlocking the bootloader. You have to enable "OEM unlock" in the developer settings prior to unlocking the bootloader and I did not disable that option again afterwards. The fingerprint sensor did not work at all with this setting enabled. You can register new fingerprints but unlock does not work.
Since I disabled this option I have no issues with Nova and fingerprint. Should you have unlocked your bootloader as well make sure you disable "OEM unlock" again.
I'm on MM and using Nova prime but I don't have any problems with the Fingerscanner!

Hi!
I have this phone for 4 days and i had the same problem like you,
I use to lock my screen with third party applications like:
Greenify or Screen Off and Lock
And for this i have the same problem like you,
If you had the third party application for locking your phone, you can uninstall them or lock your screen by double top or power button.
Good Lock!

Try this...
I've had this problem also. It seems to have started after a security update from T-Mobile.
Try this fix and let me know how it works for you:
Follow these steps:
1)Goto settings -> fingerprint & security -> fingerprints -> then delete all fingerprints
2)Then goto apps -> switch to show system apps(im using 6.0) -> find com.lge.fingerprints then remove data and cache memory.
3)Goto storage & usb -> clear cached data
4) Then restart your V10
5) After that, add fingerprints in fingerprint lock then it detects your finger.
If it doesn’t detect your finger, repeat the steps.

Glad I could help.
You may have to repeat this process as sometimes, I've heard, the problem reoccurs.
Recent Honor/ Huawei Phones come with some cool Fingerprint Gestures that can be used to Show Notifications, Recent Apps and Hit Back. All this just by performing Simple up/down Gestures on Fingerprint Sensor!
So far I haven't seen this functionality on any Rom. As a matter of fact not even on Other Phones (could be wrong it's a big big world )
Anyway, would love to see someone implement this feature in their roms for our beast, or an Xposed module for all the folks with other devices.
Make fingerprint sensor cool again!! This shows that it can be used to do more that just unlocking your phone!
Hope to see it soon. :good: :fingers-crossed:

I would like to see that feature too, but it unfortunately may be (or even is) hardware dependant, which would mean that it will never come to our devices.

Hello,
I updated my Note 5 last night to the latest update from sprint and now unlocking the phone with fingerprint does not work if i use greenify to lock the screen. Prior to the update, also on android 6.0.1, i was able to lock the phone using greenify and unlock with my fingerprint. How can i fix this?
Thank you
Try removing and re-adding finger to the security setting

Unfortunately that did not help. This is the July 1st update that broke fp scanner
I had the same problem and solved it by enabling the 'Alternative screen off mode' in the Greenify settings. And I also made Greenify a device administrator. Now the fingerprint scanner unlocks the lock screen on my device (Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge) again. It may not work on some devices it says in the setting.
Solved!

+2 years later with Greenify 4.7.1 this tip is still helpful thanks!
Was using Greenify for years (with and without root).
Last Phone was the galaxy S7. used the option 'Alternative screen off mode' when using fingerprint.
New phone is the Galaxy S10 and this option is missing now in greenify???
Cant get screen off and fingerprint to work. Why there is no more option for the alternative mode?
Anyone can help on this?

Hi.
I was looking for solution, but without luck.
My LG G5 need about few secounds to wakeup, doesn`t matter that i use fingerprint, lockscreen button or double tap. But when i unlock it finally, next quick lock and unlock is ultra fast.
It`s a hardware issue?
Thanks 4 help.

Sometimes my lockscreen "crashes" , gets black and restarts. I think its more like a software bug.

I remember seeing that asked before and someone said if you change the lockscreen image the lag disappears - even if you change it back to the same image.
had the same problem and finally solved it. Do not disable preinstalled apps, like Evernote. After enabling this aplication the problem dissapeared…
Hi guys, originally I developed this app for Samsung Galaxy S7, however it may work also on A5 and A7 (Android 7.0+ is required) as both have the home button with integrated fingerprint sensor. I can't guarantee it will work, but if anyone is interested, give it a try and post your results
It turns the fingerprint sensor on Galaxy phones into a capacitive Home button - so you don't need to press the button physically, just touch it like a sensoric button.
Original topic is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/themes/fingertouch-apk-fingerprint-sensor-t3596588
And you can download the app on PLAY STORE or in the above topic.
So it works perfectly on the A5 2016 with the Nougat update.
But is it possible that you can add that you can turn the phone on? So when the screen is off it goes to the lockscreen.
Unfortunately that's not possible with app because fingerprint sensor is deactivated when screen is off, it's a system limitation.
Hello @ranwej. Loved the app, been using it ever since I got my S7 but now that I've updated my OS to Oreo, there seems to be a problem when unlocking the phone with fingerprint. Instead of just touching the home button, you have to swipe up to unlock the phone now. I have tried turning off the Fingertouch app and unlocking it has no issues. Please fix, I would like to always keep this app on.
