Hello dear XDA friends,
i've bought Samsung Galaxy s9. The phone is really great, however..
I've configured "unlock by fingerprint" and "unlock by pin - it was required".
After reboot, when i use only fingerprint sensor everything works perfectly. I touch fingerprint sensor, phone unlocks, but as soon as i use unlock by pin, my phone adds one additional layer "swipe to unlock". From that forward i have to swipe to unlock even if i use fingerprint sensor. It's very annoying.
My question is: can i disable "swipe to unlock" screen?
My phone was updated to Android 9.
What do i until now?

Hi all.
I keep having issues with screen unlock.
First it would only unlock via fingerprint and not using pin.
To test a little i then selected pattern + fingerprint and now it doesn't require either except on first boot up. I can simply swipe to unlock. However, if I scan a non registered finger it says "no match".
I'm not connected to trusted devices...
Any ideas what causes this behaviour? It shouldn't be due to removing stock bloatware, right (Samsung, Google, FB apps)?
Many thanks!
It sounds to me like you have one of the "Smart Lock" settings enabled. These override the pattern and fingerprint settings when specific conditions are met: the device is on your body, the device is at home, or the device is within range of your smartwatch.
They should really be called "Smart Unlock" settings. You can find these settings under "Lock screen > Secure lock settings".
Sort of an old thread, but I'm also facing issues with the unlock screen lag. Somehow it is related to the battery saving: since it slows down the CPU, apparently the system doesn't have time to "process" the unlock pattern (or PIN, same problem; and hang me if that process should take longer than a couple nanoseconds), and the screen goes back to black before the unlock is successful. As a temporary workaround, I've disabled battery saving, and now at least I can unlock with pattern or PIN. But the real problem must reside somewhere else. It's not acceptable that an operating system takes that long in processing the unlock.
With the Face unlock you need to have some kind of primary unlock. After I have the Face Unlock, why is it asking for my pattern unlock? Sometimes I see the silly face and sometimes I see the lock
What are your thoughts?
Thanks

When is it asking for pattern unlock? If you are using for secure payments like Google Pay, it asks for pattern or fingerprint unlock as face unlock on 7T is not secure....Face unlock on 7T can only be used to unlock the device and nothing else...
Here's an example I just did. The phone is on my desk and dark. I picked up the phone, double tapped to wake the phone to the lock screen. I see the lock on the screen instead of the face icon

Using your example, when I double tap the screen it awakens the ambient display, showing me the time and any notifications that are on the screen. Also, the fingerprint scanner is active and lit up. I believe this is the intended behavior. The double tap simply wakes the ambient display.
If you want face unlock to kick in, you should press the power button.
One Plus told to switch to a pin instead of a pattern and it seems to work better. But you suggestion of using the power button is also on par, Thanks!
This problem also frustrates me. The issue is that the time out for face unlock to search for a face is WAY TOO SHORT.
Hello all,
I have my note 10 plus setup to unlock with finger print and or face ID. The annoying part is that after "unlocking" the phone using the finger print reader or face ID I still have to "swipe to open". Is there a way to bypass this extra step.
On my mate 30 pro I get straight into the phone after unlocking using face or finger print ID.
Cheers,
Yves

Thx for the tip, problem solved!
On the Samsung Galaxy S9, when you have smart lock enabled, is there a way to disable the extra step of having to click through "phone unlocked by smart lock" before having to swipe up on the following screen which precedes the screen where I swipe my unlocking gesture? That "phone unlocked by smart lock" screen just seems like an ad and an extra unnecessary step. Thanks.
On my fold2 when I just touched my finger with full locked / black phone it unlocked. Now the fold3 is not able to unlock unless I press the power button and keep the finger on it. It is annoying to not be able to unlock it with light touch - I have now to press it and keep the finger on it. Is this a new setting to change the behaviour or it is just like that on new fold3? Cant find any information about it.
It's a configurable setting on the Fold 3 actually!
Settings > Biometrics & Security > Fingerprints > Fingerprint always on
Mine unlocks instantly when I barely press on it, never have to hold, I'm actually liking how they did this one over my note
As
millab​Said. Change the setting and as soon as you touch it it will unlock
