The scanner doesn't seem to work properly.
Sometimes I can just swipe on the home key and it works, and sometimes I have to press it hardly and swipe at the same time for it to work.
Hwmodule(*#0*#) test's fingerprint scanner shows all the rows as 'PASS'.

Hi,
I am using Widgetlocker because of the ability to unlock with the keys on the side of the Atrix (volume keys).
But after unlocking the screen it is impossible to immediately use the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone.
What is the correct setup to get Widgetlocker unlock the phone.
Expected behavior:
1 The screen is dark
2 Press the Volume key to have the Widgetlocker-Screen visible
3 Swipe the finger [not working]
4 Phone is unlocked [not working]
Currently I have to press the Back button after step 2 to see the Motorola/Atrix Unlock screen (where I can swipe the finger and unlock), which is annoying.
Any ideas? Thanks for any input.
Sounds like you just have conflicting lock screens. I would try lockbot it disables the system lock.

Thanks for your feedback, was checking on the market.
But as far as seen no Vol. Key support - instead I have to shake it (probably as well not the best way in business)...
I use No Lock. This allows me to wake my phone with the volume rocker rather than the power button..which I prefer. If I'm going out and about somewhere I feel like I want the fingerprint scanner on..I simply turn the lock back on.
Even though WidgetLocker doesn't prompt you to swipe your finger it should stil accept it. Can you confirm you're trying this?
I have a beta that improves reliability of using the fingerprint scanner. Let me know by email if you'd like to try the beta.
Hi,
I can confirm that it sometimes works probably after I started the phone.
But later it is not possible (at least for me), so my question was what are the correct settings to get this behaviour. I would like to check - if it's my fault.
If it works - you are right - only swipe and it's unlocked.
But the usual way is that it is not working, so I have no chance I have to press the back button (to get the stock lock screen where swipe is possible).
Thanks for your help.
I like using the fingerprint for navigation. If I hold I can return to the Homescreen. This works for everything but browsers which don't exit on hold(unless I tab them first, then it works). Is the browser waiting for a fingerprint read response?? Can I turn it off so it exits like all my other apps?
For me it's double tap that brings the home screen with browsers, not hold.

That doesn't work for me. Well it does if I'm only reading one page infront of opening it (Tap once - back to browsers opening page Tap second time - Back to homescreen).
Holding closes every app but the browsers
Very annoying especially when it works for every other app but the browsers which get used a fair bit.
This is still my major annoyance with this phone. Has anyone found a browser that exits on holding the fingerprint reader?
I believe this is done by design, since the browser makes use of the fingerprint scanner as touch to go back - for people using this feature it would become very annoying to have it return to the Home Screen. The proper use of the fingerprint is to touch to go back, and touch and hold to return to Home Screen, and this appears to be disabled in apps that have a Back button to avoid confusion.
The only workaround I have is to first slide up on the fingerprint to show recent apps and then touch and hold to return to Homescreen.
I would love to turn off the on-screen soft keys. The problem I am having is that I use my fingerprint instead of a password for access to certain apps, like banking.
However, when I try to use the fingerprint to unlock the app what happens is that the screen returns to home, which is what it's technically supposed to do. But this negates being able to unlock an app with the fingerprint and I really do not want to go back to using a long password for this.
Another smaller issue is that when I use the on-screen soft keys both the scanner and the middle (home) soft key do the same thing...they both take you back to the home screen.
I feel that if I am using the on screen soft keys that the fingerprint scanner should ONLY unlock the phone, or a designated app, and conversely if I use the fingerprint scanner exclusively to move through screens and recently opened apps that I should still be able to unlock an app without the scanner taking me back to home and prematurely closing the app.
Am I making sense here?? Anybody find a way to do this?
When the navigation bar is enabled, the physical home/fingerprint reader works as a home button. Normally this wouldn't be a problem except when you accidentally hit it or when you're trying to unlock an app with your fingerprint and it sends you home instead.
I don't understand why huawei wouldn't add a setting for this.
I know that using gestures instead of the navbar would disable that button from functioning as a home button but emui 9 gestures just feel half baked.
P.S. I do not have root.
Thanks!
It doesn't do that on my mate 10 pro. Navigation bar is, of course, enabled, screen gestures (apart from the frickin search thing, which just doesn't go away) and the little movable thingy are turned off. Pull-down gesture on FP sensor is usually enabled, but I just turned it off for a test -- still FP sensor doesn't work as home button.
@wurstwarenfachverkäuferin, it happens only on standard Mate 10, pro version is not involved. Unfortunately, I didn't find the way to disable this feature.
DP, please delete.
You could put app in the appassistant And turn on the mistouch prevention function.
It's been bugging me for a while, I was occasionally getting no response when hitting the home button (traditional on-screen navigation) and think I've figured out what's happening.
If I hit the button with a slight upward swipe it shows the Google assistant/shade animation but doesn't perform the button action. (I'd tried disabling assist, turning swipe navigation on/off and even resetting the tablet but nothing had any effect.)
This is on an 8.4 inch tablet with the Pie update and I have a feeling that the problem didn't exist before, can anyone still on Oreo confirm that this issue doesn't exist with that or anyone on Pie confirm that they are also being affected.
I have a feeling that the code to detect the swipe gestures is still there when using traditional nav but set to take no action.
If it affects others using Pie, I'll log a support ticket with a Huawei.
Thanks...
