How can I disable the first lockscreen? by this I mean, if I use pin or pattern or password lock, they appear after the first lock screen with the slide to open. I would like when I bring the phone from standby to go straight to the unlock (pin or password) screen rather then first screen which I need to slide to open then the locked screen where I need to input pin or password.

Good to know I am alone. Mind you I have not seen it.
Apologies if this has been posted somewhere else. I've tried searching the forum but it's so vast I've not been able to find an answer.
I have an un-rooted Galaxy S3 which I've just upgraded to Android 4.3. I was hoping to be able to use Dashclock to have lockscreen widgets enabled along with the pattern protection I use. However, it seems that Samsung have disabled the ability to have multiple lockscreens and add other widgets to it.
Is there any way around this without rooting my device, which I really don't want to do?
Thanks in advance.

Here is how, but maybe not the solution that you need
Hi! I found that in order to get lock screen widgets to work on a Galaxy S3 you need to unprotect your lock screen by selecting SWIPE as the security screen lock (pattern, password, or PIN protection will disable third party lock screens.) Once you have set the security screen lock to SWIPE you will see the options for third party lock screen widgets.
It is a real shame that Samsung is restricting us from using third party lock screen widgets while using a true security screen lock option.
I hope that this helps.

Well, can you then tell me how to do it? Because as soon as I use any security screen lock other than swipe, all lock screen widgets options disappear and swiping from the left on the lock screen stops working too, so no widgets can be added. Just in case, I am using the TMO flavor of the Galaxy S3.
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.

Not sure if maybe you set something up different than I did. But I go from fingerprint to launcher. No swiping or any extra steps.

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.

That's strange. I have smart lock enabled, but when I unlock with fingerprint it takes me straight to the home screen. Only when I'm connected to a trusted device do I have to swipe to unlock.
I changed my screen lock timeout..
Just needed to go to secure lock settings --> secured lock time
Set to immediately.

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.

Yeah seems stupid to me -- so now when I am home I have to swipe when I am used to pressing the fingerprint scanner anywhere else ... should just go to home page. I just turned it off so its always fingerprint
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.

I do have smartlock on for my 360, but I tried disabling it and walk away without my 360 and the phone still only ask for swipe unlock instead of fingerprint.

I've got the same issue. None of the above suggestions helped. Did you get this figured out?
---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------
Nevermind, I was able to get it by removing all my Trusted Devices. Had like 5 things in there. Tried removing one at a time but it only worked when I removed all of them.
Thanks for the info. I was having the same problem with my S6 but seems to be doing what I want now!!!!!
i am having the same issue..
the fingerprint works fine but when i swipe up it shows me an option to use fingerprint or pattern..
in this screen my fingerprint doesnt work and i have open using the pattern only..
any help guys ??
Another possible solution is to uninstall the "Start" app.
How to uninstall smart lock completely
hey, I was trying to get nova and screen double to lock phone, but it doesn't work since pin will be required. and i would need root.
But huawei already has a widget screen lock that only works on huawei launcher... and when i try to make double tap trigger than widget, i get app is not installed or permission denied. can anyone know how to get it to work? or any app that makes fingerprint work with triggering screen lock?
Thanks
I have send a mail to Nova support but didn't have an answer yet. Too bad that this isn't working on Mate 10 Pro.
I have same problem, anybody have solution for this?

I'm not exactly sure what it is that you're trying to do but... I have the Mate 10 (non-pro) and I use Nova Prime and I also have double tap to lock set up and it works just fine. Now there are two choices when using it from Nova. One choice locks the screen immediately which requires a pin/password to unlock... nature of the beast. The second choice will turn off the screen immediately BUT you have to wait 5 seconds for it to lock the phone which does allow the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone. So, not sure what you are trying to accomplish but I hope this helps! :fingers-crossed:

OK, I definitely don't like that option of 5 seconds because if I want to unlocked immediately it doesn't work, anyway, I have a question, you said that use nova prime and the double tap gesture with the action of screen lock, enables you to unlock with the fingerprint? Or a PIN is required?

Pin is required!
A pin or password is required if you select to Lock Immediately upon double tap. This is an Android thing that for some reason cannot be bypassed...I do not know the particulars. But the other option, where you need to wait a little over 5 seconds after the double tap...will allow the unlock with the fingerprint. I have been doing this for years on various phones and it works quite well. You do not have to wait 20 seconds...however, during the 5-6 second wait period you need to leave the phone alone... do not move it...or if you do move it then you need to be as careful as you can not to activate one of the motion sensors, or touch the screen. So then, let's say you have it set to the 5 second lock and you double tap to lock and you need to get up right away and move...then if you are careful not to touch the screen and not swing the phone like a madman, then it will still lock after 5 or 6 seconds and the fingerprint scanner will unlock it as expected. The best use for this method is when the phone is sitting on a desk and you double tap to lock and leave the phone just sitting there for those few seconds. It's not "exactly" what you want but it's better than any alternative at this point.

10 seconds, 10 interminable seconds!
This software is ridicule...
I have timed it on my Mate 10 (non-pro) and it takes 6 seconds to completely lock. You can move the phone around during these 6 seconds but should not touch the screen and it will lock. Not much else you can do as far as I know. Again, this an Android thing, not anything to do with Huawei, or Nova.

Not exactly true.
If you need unlock the phone during those 5-6 sec, just touch the screen in the position of Home button on navigation bar twice and the home screen is up again, since it wasn't fully locked yet.

I have a Huawei Nova 2i & was looking for the same. Go to Smart Assistance & activate Floating Dock.
Root is the only option if you want the double tap to sleep to work as you want. Sucks.
