something has been annoying me for a while, I noticed playing around when I first got ICS an option to extend the period the phone locks itself when you switch off the screen, or if the screen goes off while you're still reading it, you can just press the button without having to go through the unlock slider menu.
Now my phone seems to be on the mode 'lock the phone as soon as screen off' and I can't for the life of me figure out where the option to change it is, I have looked in EVERY settings menu.
please tell me how where this option is because its something that is really bugging me!
thanks
Settings>security...

in that menu, the options I have are, screen lock, owner info, sim card lock, make passwords visable, device admins, unknown sources,trusted credentials, install from internal storage and clear credentials...no option to change lock time ?

Hi am going to presume you are on a stock ICS ROM. This happens on stock ROM's if you are using any type of the screen security features. Try them all, you will notice it auto locks after even seconds of sleep. Taking off any of these features and waking your phone back up, your phone resumes as to where you left it. To my knowledge you need a custom ROM to amend the time it takes for the phone to assume it's lock. Im guessing there is a patch or something out there that can add this option though.
yeah I am, and you're right that option becomes available when I select pattern unlock, but is not available with the stock slide to unlock. How would I go about adding this option then?

Just about to hit the hay, so i can't find a solution right now but i know that Miui ROM has the option you're looking for. Allows you to set whether the phone locks when sleeping or stays on your current activity whilst sleeping :good:
the problem is I'm on a locked bootloader any way of adding a patch to add the option without changing the rom?
appreciate the help

That's not a problem for MIUI :silly: it works on both locked and unlocked. Thank me later :good:
Hi all
I'm very satisfied with my S6 Edge (925F) but I'm facing a weird problem: when I unlock the phone using my fingerprint(s), it works perfectly but sometimes it's not the home screen which is displayed, but another random app, (i.e Facebook, Settings, News Republic or other...)
I have to press the back button to return to the home screen...
Anyone having the same problem? (not a big deal but...)
Started to happen to me as well a couple of days back. It's strange because it never happened before and I didn't change anything on the phone.
Never happened to me so far. Are you sure you weren't already in that app when you locked your device? The fingerprint unlocks into the last open app. Go back to home before locking.
Another possibility is that you are tapping a notification before unlocking. Say you have a notification from FB and you tap on it. The screen will stay locked, but it will open the FB app. Unlocking with fingerprints will then show FB open. Same can happen for email, texts, etc. You can also pull down the status bar and tap settings, then when you unlock, settings will be open.

Thanks but not at all.
It happens randomly, either I'm in an app or not (and if so, it's not necesseraly the one I was on!)
Quite mysterious...
I was using Nova Launcher (maybe the cause), will give 2-3 days Touchwiz a chance, and will report back...
Hey guys,
same problem for me. It is not dependant of the unlock method (i'm experiencing it with finger print or regular unlock).
I think it is a Nova launcher bug, only occur with nova for me.

I think so...unfortunately...
I think it's the latest nova launcher beta version that causes the issue.
I'm using Nova since I got the phone, a month ago, haven't experienced this.
I have been having this problem too and was about to start a new thread. I am using Nova too, though I did try installing the google now launcher and seemed to have the same problem. I suppose Nova simply being installed may cause the problem.
I will try uninstalling Nova and use TouchWiz for a bit. Not sure how long I will last, I think I prefer the random apps to Touchwiz.
How did the rest of you get on after switching away from Nova?
I have been experiencing this issue as well but ive been using the nokia Z-launcher. I have a feeling it might also be my fingers inadvertently touching the curved portion of the screen when i hold it.
I have the same thing happen to me. I thought I was going insane. The worst part is, I'm on a note 3 and I'm using touchwiz lollipop. I'm 100% sure no applications are running before I lock the phone, and when I use the pattern unlock, whatever application shortcut that was on the screen when I lock the phone, a random app from that screen will run when I unlock the phone. It doesnt happen all the time, but it happens at least a couple times a day.
Reason
Hey guys. I am using Nova Launcher too. And I have the same problem. I don't have the sollution, but I found the reason. ? When you lock your S6, the touchscreen stays for a second active. And if you hit an app in that second it will open when you unlock your S6.
Sorry for my bad English, I hope someone can do something with this information.
Cya ??

It seems that if the Nova's desktop margin is set to "Medium" or "Big", this problem is reduced, but I don't know if it's fully solved. Will see...
Have you found any other solution?

I think that has nothing to do with it. It could be true that it reduces it, but the only reason it would do that is because:
Mostly when you lock your S6 your fingers touch the side of the screen.
When you set margin to "Medium" or "Big" and you lock your phone, your fingers wil most likely touch no app on the side of your desktop, because the margin "pushes" them to the middle of the screen.
I haven't found a solution. Still waiting for an update to fix it.

Yes, that makes sense. Anyway, if looks perfectly good with marging set to medium, and I've had no issues with this problem since I changed the setting (yesterday). So if it reduces the problem so much, I can live with it...

Great news, the update I got today (4.2.2) fixed the bug. It was from Nova. I think this ends the thread. Happy new year guys. Cya!
Yep, it is finally fixed! Cheers!
Still happening in the latest Nova... running in Oppo phone.
Hi guys!
I really love this phone, but I have a really, really, really annoying bug. I have only 2 days with this phone (MM updated since the first day). When I try to unlock with my finger it works most of the time, but in some occasions it ask me for the knock code or the pin directly, giving me no chance to use my fingerprint to unlock the phone. This is really annoying because I want to use the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone and it does not let me. Does anyone have the same problem with the V10? Any ideas for a possible solution? Thanks a lot!

We have this problem too and assume you are using a third party launcher (Nova, Google, etc). Switch back to LG stock launcher and it fixes the problem. Think it has something to do with the lockscreen permission changes from Lollipop to Marshmallow.

I'm actually using Nova. I will switch back to LG Stock Launcher (uggly, by the way), and I'll tell you if it worked or not for me. I'm thinking on the same about te permissions in MM. There is no way to upgrade permissions from the settings or something like that to keep using a third party launcher?
Thanks a lot for the help!

I ran with LG's launcher for the past couple of weeks and since the recent beta updates to Nova shows no sign of a solution, I've reverted back to Nova and just switched to pattern unlock for the time being.
You know, even using nova, you can double tap the notification bar to turn off, and still use the fingerprint to unlock.

^ Incase anyone of you missed it, the finger print scanner works if you double tap the notification on Nova Launcher to lock the screen.

Try to factory reset, or change the unlock method to a different one, and then go back to fingerprint.
already did.factory reset by lg bridge..hmmmm
. i do hope its only a s/w issue. huhuhu
may due to mainboard problem
i also met this problem.
after restart, restore or refresh kdz, nothing changed...
my model is LG V10 H961N

Speak for yourself. :laugh:
I'm on MM on my H960A AND I'm using Nova Launcher since the first day. Never had this issue. I only had a problem once after unlocking the bootloader. You have to enable "OEM unlock" in the developer settings prior to unlocking the bootloader and I did not disable that option again afterwards. The fingerprint sensor did not work at all with this setting enabled. You can register new fingerprints but unlock does not work.
Since I disabled this option I have no issues with Nova and fingerprint. Should you have unlocked your bootloader as well make sure you disable "OEM unlock" again.
I'm on MM and using Nova prime but I don't have any problems with the Fingerscanner!

Hi!
I have this phone for 4 days and i had the same problem like you,
I use to lock my screen with third party applications like:
Greenify or Screen Off and Lock
And for this i have the same problem like you,
If you had the third party application for locking your phone, you can uninstall them or lock your screen by double top or power button.
Good Lock!

Try this...
I've had this problem also. It seems to have started after a security update from T-Mobile.
Try this fix and let me know how it works for you:
Follow these steps:
1)Goto settings -> fingerprint & security -> fingerprints -> then delete all fingerprints
2)Then goto apps -> switch to show system apps(im using 6.0) -> find com.lge.fingerprints then remove data and cache memory.
3)Goto storage & usb -> clear cached data
4) Then restart your V10
5) After that, add fingerprints in fingerprint lock then it detects your finger.
If it doesn’t detect your finger, repeat the steps.

Hello,
I want to buy this phone, and I was wondering if you can tap into the screen to wake the phone.
I have no problem to root the phone and to download custom rom if it has the feature.

nope, it doesn't have tap to wake
The fingerprint scanner is an always on one, so when you are holding the phone you just need to touch it to unlock the phone. The only time that dttw would be nice is when the phone is flat on a desk.
lol! use the fp scanner to wake the phone? works once or twice in every hundred attempts
Thanks for the replies.
I spend many hours working at a desk , so the FP sensor will be annoying to use all the time.
From what I have also read on this forum , the FP sensor doesn't always working. Despite how simple this problem, I think this may be a deal breaker for me.
Maybe you can get this functionality with xposed.
You can find a lot of videos in YouTube with double tap to wake and double tap to sleep.

I will try that. Thanks for the info man.
I set up Fingerprint Quick Actions app on my old Axon 7 so that when I pressed the fingerprint reader, it shut off the screen. Now, when I try to set up the same system on the S9+, I can set the screen to turn off, but when using the fingerprint reader to wake the phone up afterwards, I am forced to do a pin-unlock instead of biometric.
Does anyone know a fix or is this not something that can be done anymore in Oreo?
Same problem here...all third party lock screen app is not supported in this sense.
use Nova Launcher and Jews the problem mentioned above will not. Double tap gesture to turn off the screen

it wont work as said by OP, both widget type and double tap screen lock/off will make fingerprint unusable since it will ask for a pin. really wanted this too, hope we can find a solution.

Actually, Nova DOES work, because it doesn't actually lock the screen. It resets the screen timeout to a very short value, turns the screen off, and then resets both after the device locks on it's own (or you take some action). I use it all the time, but it only works from a Nova home screen, not from anywhere else.

For a similar outcome I am using the 'screenoff' app and it's working for me (Snapdragon SM-G965U1 running Pie)
Because I haven't done enough posts I can't post the link but search for github and jsalatas and ScreenOff and you'll find it
Powers off screen with app button instead of fingerprint sensor and then allows fingerprint opening.
