I know the Problem you are facing,
That's because the readers on Other phones like one's you mentioned are having an Active Fingerprint Reader which is always scanning your print even on Screen Stand-By
Samsung phones on other hand have a Passive Fingerprint Reader that gets activated by the press of the button only and so it wont scan the fingerprint until the screen is activated by any means - either you press the home button of Activate the screen by Edge Feed (swipe Up and Down on Edge)
This is a Tad Bit of less convenient because of Passiveness but it has important safety precautions like
1) phone does not get opened up if you accidentally touch the sensor in pocket
2) press is better because you can feel the pressure and know if someone pranks you while you are sleeping
3) fingerprint reader uses less ram and less battery because of being inactive most of the time
"But I do Confess that Samsung Phone's Fingerprint Sensors are Slow Compared to Many Other Phones even if we Test While screen of on"

I've got the LED case for the phone, when i flip it open i just hold my finger over the sensor.
Unlocked without pressing buttons

Thans for all the answer
I understand now

This power button location is brutal...

It is just incredibly awkward trying to unlock the phone with one hand. Every single other smartphone on the market is easy to access... this I feel like im going to drop each and every time I do it.
Anyone else having this issue?? Not sure this is the phone for me after about 15 hours of using it...
Not to mention the QHD is still pixelated.
Anyone know what the return policy is? This will negate my extended 2 year agreement if I returned it right?

Return policy is 14 days I believe.
I actually love the unlock location. The finger print scanner works terrifically for me.
The screen is great for a pentile and much much much better than the rgbg layout. I only notice any type of aliasing in a few places (battery on notification tray for one.)

How's the location of the volume rockers? How'd you feel about using those to wake the device? I use widgetlocker on my Inspire and I will on the atrix when I pick it up. It allows you to wake the device with any hardware button ("easy wake" in settings). And a nice set of ways to customize your lockscreen. Or you can set it up to look exactly stock, as I've seen the motorola froyo lockscreen as an option.

really?! THANKS!!!
Doesnt work.. finger print is disabled... Wish I could wake with the volume rocker though...
Yea. Absolutely hate the power button location. Thanks for the heads up on widget locker. Now using my volume buttons to wake. Much better.
I love the placement of the button. If you put the phone upside down in your pocket, then you can wake it up and then swipe your finger to unlock it while you're still taking it from your pocket 8)
Count me in the group that hates how hard it is to press the power button! Really, really don't like how difficult it is and how much pressure it takes to depress that button.
I love the fingerprint scanner functionality, though.

Exactly. It's perfect for me to hold one handed and unlock easily with fingerprint reader. I just got mine this morning, but haven't needed more than a single swipe so far. I find it easier than using the standard slider as I can keep a grip on the phone well while unlocking. I didn't like the thumb stretch to unlock on larger devices as I actually felt like I could drop it.

Actually if it was bought at a COR store the return policy is 30 days with a $35 restocking fee.
I think placement is great, but the force needed is what makes it awkward. Once on, it is so easy to swipe a finger to unlock.
I'm already used to it.
As with everything, mess around with it enough and it will become second nature.
Love the finger print scanner too. That should piss the wife off.
Took a little time...
but I can already tell I'm starting to get used to its location. I absolutely LOVE the fingerprint reader as an unlock mechanism though.
Button does seem awkward. would like it on the side but I guess it would get either the lefty or righty upset (depending on which side you put it). Which it would just turn on with a swipe rather than pressing and swiping. And maybe a click so you know when you've pressed hard enough.
I tried it out in store and loved it. A lot of my VZW friends have the Droid 2, with its tiny, hard-to-press power button, and was concerned I would be forced to throw the phone out the window if I had a button like this. This is easily the softest, easiest, largest on button I've ever seen on a phone.
after setting finger print unlock , I don't even really notice it anymore
yeah I love the location and the finger print scanner one hand unlock sweet
I wish the button were raised just a 1/2mm. Everything else is great.
I'm considering looking for something to stick on it to raise it a bit. Don't know if the fingerprint reader will work through like a thick plastic sticker or somethin...
it bothered me a little at first but im getting used to it now. not really thinking about it
I like it. I have large hands, and have no problem. I feel the button was placed in the center to allow for index finger swiping of either the right of left hand... pretty good design choice if you ask me. I can see how reaching it while gripping the phone in one hand could be tough if your hands are small though.
EDIT: Not to be an annoying fanboy, but the power button on the inspire irked me a lot. it was almost flush with the body of the phone, and at a slight angle that you almost had to wrap your finger around the top of the device to feel it. The worst part is that it provided NO indication you were actually touching it. It was just a feeling that feels like, "this will NOT work 6 months from now." I know HTC makes great stuff - but I was relieved when I first touched my atrix and felt an ever so slight 'click' from the button.
Thanks for the Widget Locker recommendation, the placement is awful! I have my phone on my desk flat a lot and it will go to sleep, it requires me to pick the phone up wth two hands to unlock it. Its a pain in the arse.

Trusted devices and places on lollipop - what is the point? !

Okay, so I'm running lollipop on my galaxy S5 and after connecting my bluetooth headphones it asked me if I wanted to add them as trusted?
So, as I trust them, I said yes.
After that, whenever I locked my phone using the fingerprint lock I would instead get a swipe lock screen instead. Swiping it would then take me to my normal fingerprint lock screen.
So, instead of one lockscreen I would have to unlock two!
What the hell is the point of that?
Am I missing something?

Wanted: app to keep the screen on whilst touching Imprint sensor

Hi All
My new 6P arrived and my favourite feature is the Imprint sensor to turn on screen and simultaneously lock it. Having my phone be alive when i pick it up and screen off when I don't is a real feature - what I was wondering is could we use the Imprint sensor to get around the problem where you're browsing and your screen turns off due to display time out. If it were possible to have the imprint act as a "keep the screen on, I'm using it" button it would be fantastic.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Ric
That's exactly how mine works. Finger on the Imprint and the phone comes on and unlocks. If the screen times out and goes off, putting finger back on the imprint switches it back on unlocked where it was.

It does wake up when you touch the Imprint sensor, but it I'm reading a doc and don't want the screen to time out whilst I'm doing it, keeping my finger on the sensor doesn't keep the screen on, which is what I'm after...
Maybe "Stay Alive" or a similar app from the play store might help? I haven't used it for a while but if I remember correctly, you can select apps that when active, will keep the screen from turning off.

Moto E4 XT1767 Fingerprint Scanner Lag

I picked up this phone on my local craigslist late last week (at $15, I could not resist), unlocked it, and have been using it. When compared to my moto Z play, I have to hold the fingerprint scanner longer to turn the phone on or off which for some reason is very frustrating. I do not believe this is a hardware limitation as the fingerprint response is instant if I turn the device on to my lock screen and then touch the fingerprint scanner.
Does anyone know if it is possible to correct this? At the moment, I have to touch the scanner for ~1 second before it will turn on/off my phone. If it were possible to change this to ~0.5 seconds, I would be a happy camper.

Are you running stock software? If so, I'd try erasing and re learning your finger prints. I got an E4 for my daughter to use on WiFi - FP sensor is snappier and more accurate than my MZP. If that doesn't do it, I'd be inclined to think hardware issue.

Well here is the thing: when the phone is on the lock screen (screen turned on and asking for fingerprint or pattern/pin) the fingerprint sensor is instant and always accurate. The only time I am seeing lag is when I hold to turn the screen on (the screen is off but holding the fingerprint sensor turns it on) or off (phone is on and unlocked but holding the fingerprint sensor turns off the screen).
Can you confirm that your daughters phone has a faster response when turning on/off the screen?
i've read from a handful of reviews that the scanner is just simply not as fast as the MZP or even g5+. could be a limitation of the processor? i moved from a MZP to the e4, definitely a noticeable difference in speed.

Yep, the times I use it, it's normally from screen off condition, or from in use to lock/turn off screen.
I'll try to do a side by side tonight with my MZP

here's a link to a quick head-to-head video. What is apparent is that the other poster is indeed correct - MZP is slightly faster from touch to screen on, and touch to screen off. The difference is slightly more pronounced when waking than going to sleep. What isn't apparent from the video is the timing of the haptic feedback. On the MZP the vibration is triggered almost instantly at touch, with the bulk of the delay from touch to screen on happening after the vibration triggers. On the E4, the vibration occurs around the middle of the span from touch contact to screen on. This gives the impression in use, at least to me, of slightly more laggy sensor (on the E4) but slightly faster unlock times (on the E4).
Guess I don't have to be jealous of my kid's phone anymore. Was a cool experiment.

Make lock screen easier to unlock?

Is there some way to make the unlock swipe more sensitive? Or a shorter swipe required?
Sometimes it takes me 4 or 5 swipes to get it to unlock, it's getting a tad annoying. No other issues with the screen, it just seems to need far too long of a swipe to allow the unlock.
I don't use fingerprint / pin / face unlock.

I don't believe there is, but why wouldn't you use any of the above ? They're all ironically extremely fast, the fingerprint unlock is probably the quickest out of any phone in the world. The face is also rapid.
You could maybe install another lock screen but it would probably be quite similar.
There is more than likely also a setting in the ROM which altered the length of swipe, not in settings but an actual value within a file.

My finger tips/prints get pretty tore up at work and causes finger print readers to be all but useless.
Not a fan of face unlock, too many situations that it would be inconvenient. I suppose I could maybe try a simple pattern unlock instead, I tend to open my phone is awkward situations sometimes and want it to be easy to get into. I have no security concerns.

Have you actually tried the face unlock? I wasn't completely for it, but it's very quick and you barely have to look at the screen, it's also surprisingly accurate.
Did you know you can register several fingertips? So unless your whole hand gets messed up? I used to do ground work and roofing, bricklaying so I know what you mean. Should be ok tbh.

I have the same problem, and it's not only unlocking the screen.
Sometimes I try to swipe down notification 4-5 times before it works.
On Lineage/Resurrection rom it's working like any other phone.
There is one more thing, this bug is inconsistent, sometimes unlocking is working like it should and slightest swipe unlocks the phone.
