Any finger to unlock? - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

Hello
I m wondering whether it is possible to unlock with any finger that is not registered. I know it is against the idea of fingerprint security. But i want this to use fingerprint censor just for unlocking the device without pressing power button and swiping.. I am already using only swipe action to unlock locksceeen which is sometimes annoying for it has a an issue..
Thanks..

S7 edge greenify hibernate and lock screen affecting fingerprint sensor issue

Just did a software update on my s7 edge phone. Not rooted. Been using greenify hibernate and lock screen. Before the update, the fingerprint sensor worked. But now I no longer am able to use fingerprint sensor to unlock instead must put in my password. If i use the phones power key to lock the screen, then I can unlock using my fingerprint sensor. I'm using a hard case for my phone and it's not easy to press the power key button. Anyone has a solution for this issue?

How do you unlock the phone with fingerprint?

Hello everybody
I want to know how fingerprint unlocking works with that phone. I mean if, when the screen is off, you have to press the button and then swipe the finger over the sensor, or you can only touch the sensor, or you have to swipe it, or you have to turn the screen on and then touch the sensor, etc etc.
Other question, is it possible to use always the fingerprint? Or there are situations in which you have to use the pattern/pin/password in any case? (I mean after rebooting the system or when you turn the screen off from an app, for example)
Thank you
Best regards

You need to unlock manually using the pattern/alternativ unlocking method after each reboot.
To unlock with fingerprint you simple have to push the power button so the device wakes up and leave your finger on the power button for like a second to recognize your fingerprint. After that you are in the home/main screen

Thank you for your reply
Excluding at reboot, is there other cases in which you have to insert pin/pattern for unlocking instead of simple fingerprint?
How accurate is fingerprint identification? I mean, you have only to keep the finger on the power button in 100% cases or sometimes fingerprint is not recognized or recognized slowly or you have to take the finger off and then touch the sensor again, or swipe the finger on it and so on?
(I'm sorry for these questions but I'm trying to decide between z5c and xc)

If your fingers are really sweaty or "dirty" you have to touch the sensor again/a few times (moving the finger doesnt help, you have to retouch it). But most of the times (98%?) it works on first touch.

Okok, thank you. I'm trying to compare z5c and xc, and on many reviews online I found that the fingerprint scanner is more fast, responsive and accurate on xc than z5c.
And for the other specs, do you recommend me z5c or xc?

Hello,
I've got a bug while i'm trying to unlock my phone.

For me is working normally. Try cleaning the sensor
It's clear.
But when the FP is wrong one time.
I need to try again a lot of time before it unlock

Try deleting and re-register your FP

Tap to wake

Hi. Just wondering if it has tap to wake or if placing your finger on the scanner will wake the device? Thanks
I am curious about this as well
from what I've seen on videos tapping on screen on the wrong spot would illuminate a purple fingerprint where you should put your finger, placing it again on top of that figure would unlock, an you have to actually press firmly not just slight touch as external FP sensors. If you press in the right spot at the first try it unlocks with only just that one single press. I'm hoping it is accurate enough so after we develop some muscle memory it unlocks at the first press 9/10 times.
I wished it had double tap anywhere to wake up/see lock screen/start face id though
Can confirm, tapping only shows where the fingerprint reader is. If you just straight put your finger on it the phone will unlock.
That is so good though..... No need to use power button. Plus if you use smart lock...i assume if your in your home or safe area.... You can avoid even using the fingerprint?

To be honest Mate 20 was silent about smart lock for now. It didn't auto suggest smart lock for any of BT devices I paired or the home Wi-Fi. Maybe I have to enable it manually. Weird the LG V20 I am coming from tried to shove that in my face on all ocassions.
... I did some digging, looks like smart lock for unlocking is not present (Smart Lock itself is on the phone).

How can I make it so that fingerprint unlock only works when the screen is on?

I hate accidentally unlocking the phone just by grabbing it -
Is there a way to unlock it with my fingerprint, but only AFTER i press the power button and the screen lights up?:fingers-crossed:
Not that I know of.
But are you sure you are unlocking it with the fingerprint scanner? Because you must be holding it touch, every time, a very specific and small part of the screen to unlock it that often accidentally.
Are you sure that it isn't the face unlock that is doing that?

I don't have face unlock set up. I know it's a small & specific area but it's happened enough times for me to post this topic.
I don't know much about Android yet so excuse me if this is silly, but are there some sort of launchers that can change that?
Disable AOD services.
AOD services? could you explain, please?
