Hello everyone
I personally preferred Fingerprint lock but uts not always working nicely and I mean it requires to enter pin or pattern lock
I wonder if this is a known issue and can be solved or this is a feature to increase security?

The problem that to set fingerprint you have to set another lock setting like pin or pattern

Otherwise you and only you can access your device, but when setting the additional settings there is a box for require on device start, which can be deselected

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible for my phone to only ask for a lock pattern when I first turn it on, then revert to slide. If that is possible is there any way to lock it so it asks for the pattern when I want?
Thanks.
As of stock I don't think that's possible. Various custom roms like CM7 give you the option of adding timeouts to the pattern lock.
Or you can always default to using the simcard lock if you just want to stop the phone from being used without your permission.
You mean adding a pin to unlock the simcard would prompt only on first boot?
hope someone can help you
I think Tasker with Secure Settings can help you. With the two I have it set so that when I log into my home wifi I only have to put my lock pattern in once and out then reverts to the slide lock. I'm sure you could mess with the profile and set it up how you want.
Yep. It'll only trigger again if you go to airplane mode and back. Or when you reboot again.

Thanks for the info.
I can set a lockscreen pin but it will never lock? any idea why and i was wondering if they got rid of the apple side bar tool on this rom.
After setting the PIN, did you choose the option to lock immediately or wait 5 seconds?

i dont no why i post anything. i already figured it out. it was something to do with the shake options i just disabled it. but now i cant use my slide unlocker to unlock or slide to use phone.
If you set a PIN or set a pattern to unlock the phone, I don't think you can use the slider to unlock the phone.

I would like to remove the text "Swipe screen to unlock" from the lock screen
First, if you don't know to do that by now you should turn your phone in. Second, isn't that an invitation to a thief
Well, if you really care about data theft you should have fingerprint or pass code to unlock turned on.
I don't see a way to remove that text, in any case.

Sorry I can't be more help, but at least I can confirm this IS an option. I know because I disabled that text on my Note 4. I specifically remember doing it last night as I was going through the settings on the phone. There was an option to disable the help text on the lockscreen. Unfortunately, I can't recall where that was at. You'll just have to go through your phone, in the meantime, or hopefully someone else will respond with a definite answer.
If you haven't already figured it out:
From settings goto Lock Screen > Show Information > Help Text is at the bottom.
I don't have the help option available

It's probably because you are running fingerprint scanner or password for the unlock method on your lockscreen. Change it to the swipe unlock method and I bet that option will be there. Then you can always switch back once you uncheck it. Let me know if that works.

You are correct sir! A shortcoming in the code IMHO, once you know how to unlock the screen, no matter the method, the aide should be able to be removed.
To clarify my earlier joke, an invitation to a thief was in relation to the word "swipe" to unlock... I know very punny.
Thanks again
Hi.
I'm new user of LGG6. Previous i was on Nexus devices.
Is there any way so set unlocking with fingerprint ONLY? So, without additioanl pattern, PIN or smth.?
Thank you!
I found that second security is needed only first time, after device boot if you use fingerprint screen unlock.
But, if I use DT2W unclok method I have to use PIN,/pattern ...
So, any way to remove that, BUT keep fingerprint unlock?
(i know i can remove screen lock method, but than fingerprint is automaticly removd too)
I removed this kind of protection on my Nexus, but it requires root.
Just add a trusted location etc then it will unlock with no passcode and fingerprint only.

Are you locking the phone using an app (like Nova Launcher) to double-tap to lock/sleep? if yes, then double tap the status bar to sleep. then you can wake the phone using fingerprint only.

Ok, this is partial solution ... Just for added locations.
Thnaky anyway.

Also add a trusted device like a BT watch or I'm sure there is a always on you option. Detects when you have phone with you.

Yap, I'm using NL.
Thanks! Nice solution, but it 'll be hard to get used to use just status bar to lock.
The best solution is this one, but it only works if you are rooted (+twrp) and i'm not sure if last root method allow to chainging files on /system partition:
Then while still in TWRP go delete /data/system/locksettings.db
This should let you swipe to unlock your phone. Your fingerprints will still be saved and can be used once you set up a secure lock screen
Beside I would like to stay without root if it's not necessary.

I don't use BT watch, any device ... All I can set is home/work location and CAR BT.
I dont' see any other usefull option for me.

"On body Detection"

Ok, now I set "on body detection" ... but. That kind of smart locking only works if you don't lock phone with duble tap (over Nova launcher in my case) nut you leave phone to lock after time.
So this is usefull only if I don't lock with double tap. But I like that option and I'm using it all the time.
Thanks anyway for your time and tips.
Once I have provided the security credentials ie scanned fingerprint, or unlocked by face, is there any way for the phone to automatically open instead of requiring me to swipe?
thanks
