I hope I am not double posting somewhere, but I recently enabled the pattern lock but it seems as though the swipe lock is still activated. I can't seem to find an option to turn it off. It is rather annoying to have to unlock the phone twice. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is your phone stock? Mine is stock and when I went from swipe to pattern, it automatically canceled the finger swipe option. My only guess would be to try to turn all security locks off, then just enable the one you want.
Go back to security settings, it will ask you to swipe or enter your code, after you do that you should be at the settings screen and the top option is "none". That should turn all the security locks off for you.

Thank you for the response. A few things. The phone is stock. When I go from disabling the "security lock" to enabling it, the swipe lock is still there.
Any more help or things to try would be greatly appreciated.
I don't know then. If rebooting doesn't fix it, the phone might need the factory reset which I don't know exactly how to do. You can do a search for it. I would probably take it back to att and get an exchange since your still in the first 30 days and get a new one.

I don't think he means the finger print swipe lock. If I have the pattern lock on my atrix, after I unlock it, I still have the standard swipe right to unlock the phone.
Edit: sorry, happens the other way. Swipe right, then goes to pattern unlock.

Correct, when i enable the pattern lock, i still have to use the swipe lock to unlock then phone and then unlock the pattern lock to use to phone. This is rather quite annoying.
Ahh thanks for clearing that. Totally misunderstood that, yeah mine works as you guys described. Hopefully they will change that with a patch.

As odd as it sounds, are you able to change the clock on the lock screen or change the "effects" for the swipe to unlock?
I could do so before the AT&T upgrade, but I can't now (although, the upgrade may not be the cause). The selection in the Lock Screen Settings is gone and the clock widget no longer shows up in the widget list.

Well... On my phone, it used to be there. I actually ran into this issue, yesterday afternoon. I did a factory reset to see if it would fix the issue. At that point "Select Screen Lock" appeared under the Lock Screen selection in Display (which can also be reached via the Lock Screen Settings when you push the Settings button while on a home screen.
This isn't a matter of me not knowing how to make the change (I've already done so twice: 1) with my original phone and 2) with this phone, after replacing the original for the phone jack issue). The setting selection is no longer there (and the clock widget, no longer appears in my widget list and it was there before the AT&T SW update). FWIW.... the effects settings for the lock screen are also gone. This is truly bizarre.
Looks like you need to get the apk from someone and adb push it to /system/app and then reboot.

I'm probably demonstrating my ignorance, but if I was able to procure the apk and use adb to push it, what prevents it from disappearing again?

It probably was only deleted by the update. Sometimes that happens. Some samsung updates on my phone deleted the browser and gapps. As long as you push the apk, I don't see why it would disappear. Although, have you checked other places in settings? Perhaps LG reorganized.

I too don't see why it would disappear. Which has me completely baffled. I've checked every where, but I seriously doubt that it's a "reorganization" of the settings menus. The menus were exactly as laid out in the LG manual, youtube videos and as described by people who have responded to this thread (and the other one in the LGOG unbranded thread), when I first started the phone and after each factory reset. Then within an hour or two, they were no longer in the Lockscreen menu.

Even if the apk was deleted, the references to it would still be in settings.apk, so the menu option would be there, but clicking it would lead to a force close.

I gave up and returned the phone for a new one. Hopefully, they won't just turn it around and give it to someone else as a replacement, but will completely reinstall the OS and test it.
Follow up question for one of you extra smart dev types....
New phone has the same issue (several of the lock screen settings are gone). In addition to installing apps from Google Play Store, I also install apps that allow me to get my work emails and calendar (as well as work IM). The apps are: Junos Pulse (security/anti-virus), Lotus Traveler (for email and calendar) and Lotus Sametime. Lotus Traveler requires that I use a password lock. If someone enters an incorrect password, 10 consecutive times, it automatically starts factory reset, to wipe the storage.
I noticed that the lock screen menu options disappeared after I installed and activated the 3 apps listed above. Is it possible that Traveler is deleting the lock screen options menus as part of it's security settings?

Uninstall the apps and see... you can answer that question..... because I have 2 of these phones and both phone still have the options.

I noticed the same thing. For me, it was my MS Exchange account. It requires a PIN secured lock. Once activated, the clock and shortcut options disappeared in Settings. I removed the MES account and they reappeared. So, I set to my liking, then set up/activated the Exchange account afterwards.

I can't uninstall the app. From what I can tell, the only way to do so, is to do a factory reset. I haven't rooted the device. I'm certain that I could do the uninstall if I were to root the phone. At this point, it's not worth doing so (I'm considering returning it for a refund and get an N4).

Thanks for the confirmation, that someone else is experiencing this issue (and I'm not crazy).
I have noticed on mine that those lock screen settings (clock& shortcuts and screen effect) only show up if it set to "Swipe to unlock". If you set it to pattern or pin, those options disappear, however what you selected before stays in effect.
If you switch it back to "swipe to unlock", those settings will reappear and you can change them again, and then switch back to pattern or pin.
I don't know if it's by design, but I hope not.

Wow, that's very interesting. I seriously doubt that swipe to unlock vs PIN or Password unlock is supposed to result in menu items disappearing.
Update: I've figured out the method to uninstall the lotus email apps (you have to deactivate it as device manager 1st, if anyone is interested). After doing so, I can confirm that the lock screen settings that disappeared have in fact reappeared.
My issue is different, just got the phone and the 4 app shortcuts were on the lock screen. I changed the clock and now they have disappeared from the lock screen. I changed it back to the default clock and the quick apps are still missing. How do I get those back I'd like to quickly get into camera and browser from my lock screen.
I think it is pointless to press the home button (maybe a few times) for the finger print verification. THEN I have to swipe my finger??? really? Seems redundant. I've looked in all the settings. Is there really no way to turn the swipe off?

Do you mean the swipe to unlock you would use for the lockscreen if you didn't want any pin security?
I don't have my Edge yet to check, but in all the videos I saw it unlocks as soon as it recognises your finger. Have you set Fingerprint as the "screen lock type" in "lock screen and security"? I think it is possible to use the fingerprint for paypal etc while using a traditional screen slide-to-unlock.

No, I have fingerprint security on. So you press the home button, it verifies you. Then it takes you to the lock screen where now you have to swipe. It should just take me to the launcher. ready for what I want to do. Why should I have to then swipe the screen???

I agree, but what you are describing isn't what reviewers are showing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kc4NgYS1rs
This is what made me think "screen lock type" may still be swipe, and it may just be authenticating your fingerprint for use other than the lock screen, such as paypal.
The only other thing I can think is something is enforcing the security, might be worth checking if any software is set as a device administrator. Exchange email can enforce security settings too.
Otherwise we will have to wait for someone with an edge to double check for you.

Does not work like in the video for me. I have to swipe after the fingerprint. Or if it has been authenticated very recent I power on and just swipe.

Can you check your trusted agents on other security options?
I'd like to verify if it goes straight to launcher when off and prompts for the additional swipe when on.
Settings -> lock screen and security -> other security -> trust agents.

Agreed. If you're phone isn't actually locked. It goes to the splash./lockscreen where you have to swipe to go to launcher. If the device is locked(fingerprint locked) then unlocking will go straight to launcher.

i have a iphone5S on freedompop, you just pay for the phone and get you free 200 talks, 200 texts, and 1GB data free every month without monthly fee.
on iphone5S screen, it showing "slide to unlock".
you can slide to unlock or just put your thumb on fingerprint scanner and it automatically unlock.
on samsung s6 edge, when it showing "swipe to unlock", you must swipe to unlock, it wont unlock if you put thumb on fingerprint scanner.

Search for secure lock settings, it's a setting that you can set a timeout period before requiring fingerprint scan..or make it always require fingerprint..

It really is annoying! I think Samsung's fingerprint scan does not integrate well with Android's SmartLock features.
The only solution for is to disable all SmartLock features to avoid this trouble.
I set finger print unlock on edge but somehow, when I unlock the phone it always ask for swipe to unlock instead. Maybe 1 out of 10 or 20 unlock it will ask for a finger print.
Anyone else have this problem! Or know what's going on?

You probably have smart lock enabled. Did you set up an android wear device or other bluetooth device and say yes on the notification for smart lock? Or maybe you set a trusted place?
Whenever I'm connected to my moto 360, I get swipe unlock instead of fingerprint, because screen lock is disabled by Smart Lock.

How to uninstall smart lock completely
Hi
After update MIUI to 12.5, I normally use an application (screen off and lock) to lock the screen, since double tap doesn't work.
Turns out that after the update when I lock the screen through the app, I can't unlock with fingerprint saying that "device locked by admin" and I have to use the pin to unlock.
Anyone knows how to overcome this?
Thanks in advance.

Same here on mi 10T
I have learned not to update MiUI, as the updates rarely fix old bugs and ALWAYS introduce new bugs. Best just sticking with what it came with until a custom ROM comes along and then leave the MiUI crap in the past.
Problem is 3rd app lock method.
Here is solution:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/oauv33
I use NOVA LAUNCHER and I have same problem after 12.5 update. So I changed LOCK method in NOVA and it works.

So easy but still so difficult to figure out...
This was really good to learn about i have to say,thank you very much for your help!
I solved this issue after updating my Mi Note 10 to MIUI 12.5.1 by switching from 3rd party screen lock / turn off app to an official built-in widget simply called "Lock" (go look for it, it should be near the top in Widgets section when you press and hold empty home screen area).
To remove unofficial screen lock app you must first revoke admin rights, of course, otherwise its ghost will keep reappearing after each uninstall attempt.
I simply like stock MIUI Launcher, so using 3rd party ones to solve this was unacceptable for me.
if u guys are just talking about turn off screen without using side button, then there are some options present in miui...
1) [if u r using button navigation] setting> additional setting> button shortcut> turn off screen> choose as ur choice
2) You can also use the quick ball, 'setting> additional setting> quick ball' with quick ball u can use 5 shortcuts like home, menu, lock, clear cache, ss etc
3) the widget option... Just like d789 said
And 'double tap to wake or turn off screen' option is present in the "setting> always on display & lock screen"...
Thanks, I overlooked that buttons shortcuts in Settings can be configured to lock the screen as well (e.g. long hold Back or Home on-screen button).
Yeah, double-tap to wake or turn off screen is also very useful feature I use since day 1.

For me this doesn't work.
I use Nova and always have.
In Nova I go to "Gesture and Inputs" change the "double tap" to "screen lock".
I then choose "Accessibility" and add Nova.
After that if I double click nothing happens. If I remove Nova from accessibility and then double tap it asks me to use device admin or accessibility. I use this way on every single mobile I use but on 12.5.3 I can't pick accessibility as it refuses to do anything when Nova is added.

Now the only thing for me that is still broken is the fact that I can't use gestures with Nova launcher.
To everyone who's still facing this issue. This fix helped me and a lot of others as well. Try it out.
It's a rare but annoying glitch in MIUI, you can easily solve it:
1. Go to TWRP -> File Manager
2. Browse to: /data/system
3. Delete file "locksettings.db"
4. Reboot.
You will need to set the lock screen password/pattern again, if you had any before.

Dear friend, my phone is Redmi Note 7 Pro. I had no issues after doing this. It worked perfectly for me. So, as I saw this forum thread before fixing my phone, I just shared the information I knew. Not everyone will get the same result from this, because not everyone has the same phone. So, whether or not you didn't get the expected outcome, you shouldn't tell others to not follow this. It's their choice, not yours. Maybe atleast some of them will find it useful than you did.

In Nova I go to "Gesture and Inputs" change the "double tap" to "screen lock".
I then choose "Accessibility" and add Nova.
After that if I double click nothing happens. If I remove Nova from accessibility and then double tap it asks me to use device admin or accessibility. I use this way on every single mobile I use but on 12.5.3 I can't pick accessibility as it refuses to do anything when Nova is added.

Click to collapse
Thank you very much.
This works for my RN10Pro using MIUI13.0.6, change the lockscreen setting in Nova, from admin to accessibility.
I can't double tap to close home screen anymore, but there's still home button in the lowest middle to do that.
The most important thing is, I can directly go to home screen just by touch the fingerprint button.
Thanks for your advice.
If you guys are talking about the fingerprint button then i suggest you just use the gestures that are provided by default of the settings since there nust be a spatial consisting of failure of recognizing the algorithm of identifying user by fingerprint method or they just didn't implement the algorithm that is stored inside the operating system of the phone.
So gestures is the only way to go you can apply gestures by using monetary apps that may give access to other gestures like slide down to view user statistics or usage and slide up to reveal system settings but i couldn't blame the operating system though for having not enough gestures but I'm also. Thankful that they have custom gestures so i wouldn't imply to an app that can be placebo or popular in playstore who knows it can be money cashgrab(just stating the fact that i had to cancel so many subscription on a gesture app)
