Mine works only to unlock the phone, but it doesn't really work for any apps that I've tried (it works till I reboot). This happened to me on both the E4's I tried.
If the fingerprint sensor works for you please reply with what model of the phone you have and what apps it works on.
I called Motorola multiple times and they just said it's not supposed to work, and it's intentionally disabled. I told them that makes no sense, Amazon and republic wireless (the two places I bought the phone) both say it's supposed to work, and they just said ok return the phone.
The fingerprint sensor works for me. I have the unlocked Amazon edition. The XT768 SKU. I use the fingerprint with LastPass and Bank of America. If it helps my carrier is Cricket Wireless.

fingerprint sensor is only meant for unlocking the phone not for apps. if you want to unlock apps with fingerprint sensor than use external app lock with fingerprint locking/unlocking functionality.

No no no no no, you misunderstood what I was saying. The fingerprint sensor doesn't work for most apps, meaning when I want to use my fingerprint to sign in to my bank it doesn't work. I'm not trying to lock the apps, I know how to do that.

The problem is the apps not the phone or the fingerprint scanner. The app developers have to implement it in their app.

The problem is that apps are only able to use the fingerprint sensor for verification, not encryption. It's a problem with the phone. Show me an app which uses it for encryption and works on the unlocked Moto E4.

FYI for WidgetLocker lovers..........the latest update has fixed the issues where the fingerprint scanner did not work on the WidgetLocker screen. The fingerprint scanner now unlocks and takes you right to your home screen. If you use the slider bar in WidgetLocker, it no longer takes you to the normal lock screen, but brings up the code unlock screen instead as the regular lock screen does. I have checked this multiple times on my phone on 4.1.83, GladiAtrix, and Cool Blue.
WidgetLocker Market Link
You do have to swipe the scanner a wee bit slower it appears, almost like Atrix was prior to 4.1.57 update, but other than that it works fine.
+1 Yea noticed that been using it again with no problems as well ^_^

i just tried widgetlocker for the first time yesterday. It was nice and definitely modifiable (word?) but it slowed down my phone ever so slightly.

When did you update? There was an update yesterday or the day before which did not address this particular issue. The update today wasn't there earlier because I check several times a day for Market updates out of boredom. It appeared this evening in the Market for me. Working great for me now.
Also, how fast are you swiping on the reader? You can't swipe as fast as when not using WidgetLocker.

I updated this morning. I just checked the market again just now & no additional update was available; I'll check back again later. Re: swipe speed, I'd say I didn't change my speed at all. Again, that seemed to not be a problem for ~1/2 a day.
The only known issue right now is that Exchange can break things. I'm working on a method for rooted Exchange fingerprint scanning users to bypass this (the trick actually allows for some other things too so it's not as niche of a group as it sounds), but it requires manual XML changes right now and could mess up your system. When it's wrapped into an apk and ready for user testing I'll post somewhere in the Atrix section to let you guys know.
If you're not using Exchange (or a similar device admin that "Requires password") and having issues with it not working in cases that the Motorola lock screen would, then Settings > Report Bug and provide as much details as you can about when it's not working.
mine doesn't work at all anymore now. before, it would work about 50% of the time, now no response at all. i tried rebooting, clearing my lock screen settings and re-enabling fingerprinting, etc. no dice.

ok i think i've narrowed it down.
if you set a FP profile, and use a PIN, then it will work. BUT if you are using the pattern unlock and the FP (which you can set by setting as pattern first, then FP with existing profile), it will not work.

I use FP with pin, so maybe you have hit on something there, as I have no issues with it.
yup, confirmed it's true with the dev, and also that it's Motorola's fault.
"I did notice this in testing, however Motorola does not support the Fingerprint scanner with Pattern so I decided not to either. What you found is unintentional and may have issues on it's own (I haven't tried with the latest firmware, but I had played with that setup on the original firmware and found it unreliable. Setting a delay with the Fingerprint scanner (via sqlite) also caused weirdness).
With regard to WidgetLocker, there's some code in there to handle Motorola's pattern and some other code to handle Motorola's fingerprint scanner. I did try to get both to work, but in limited testing was unable to do so and since it's not officially supported by Motorola I decided not to pursue further. (I actually also thought they fixed the loophole you found in the later firmware so the only way of doing it was sqlite, but apparently I was wrong)"
These Smart Lock features are really interesting and I wanted to know if anyone with a second gen Moto G had received them yet

Hi, got trusted voice, I don't really like it, you're supposed to say "ok google" to unlock the phone but every time google now pops up and you have to close it then swipe up to unlock. I dislike the fact that it is not a "better way to unlock your phone" but rather "a better way to use google now from the lockscreen". In the end its cool, but I'm pretty sure it is easy to fool, although I haven't tried. It is a nice gimmicky feature but security-wise, it sounds pathetic.
I was not having trusted voice and on-body detection features...
But Three days ago when my device got soft-bricked, I flashed factory firmware 5.0.2 and after that i got all these features
Now i dnt knw how i didn't have this before and how i got this now...
But my experience, the on-body detection is a great thing that it does not lock ur phone untill its layed down on a surface but there is a silly thing in that was if you give the device to your friend obviously it couldn't detect that it's not you.
So to rectify this you can use both trusted face and on-body to make ur device safe.
Yes, I have trusted voice and on-body detection. Trusted voice seems to work, but I have not tried either in real use. I don't know when they showed up, I don't think infrastructure updates show in the play store.

I got them, and I switched from trusted places to on body. I've never really used trusted face, and don't really plan on it.
When I first got the phone yesterday, unlocking the phone was crazy fast with the facial recognition. This morning, I got the latest software update, and now, it's basically unusable. Has anyone else experienced this?

The update was to improve the security. You may need to resetup. They made it more sensitive so it can't be unlocked with a pic as easily

After the update, it was a night and day difference. I tried registering my face again multiple times, and it worked maybe 3-10 times. It was terrible. I just reset my device though after I registering another facial input, and it's back to how it was - super fast. I'll continue to monitor if it reverts back to being unusable.
It's horrible... I can't even open my phone half the time...Just came to XDA to see if I was the only one having this issue
Same issue. The first day I got my phone I was actually bragging to everyone how amazing and fast the face unlock was. After the update it sucks, to the point where I just can't use it. I did register my face again multiple times as well.

It's back to be crap now. After I reset the phone, it was working great again, but now not so much. I even get a pop-up sometimes saying to clean the lens!! It's spotless!
The iris scanner now is what the facial recognition WAS before the update. So, I'll start using that until this is figured out and solved because at least facial recognition works with glasses on.
Try registering your face much closer , cover most of it but not 100%, leave a gap of 2 or 3 cm. Also have you tried turning on the "faster recognition" option?

Yup using the iris scanner as well now. Surprisingly faster than the first day which is weird, but still not as fast as face unlock . I wonder which takes more battery

Settings -> Lock Screen and Security -> Face Recognition
You should be able to find the "Faster Recognition" option in there. I believe this came bundled with an update i received today, i cannot remember also having this option before. Take a look there and make sure the phone is up to date.
I believe there is improvement to be made here, hopefully once we start rooting this puppy , someone can come along and tweak a few settings.

AT&T user here. Got the OTA update yesterday that made the facial recognition terrible and I don't have the "Faster Recognition" option.
EDIT: I should also mention that I have redone the facial setup multiple times since the update and it's still noticeably worse than before the update.
Mine got slower, but I cleared cache and redid the facial set up, seems to be better again (after TMobile update).

I have noticed the same I can hardly use facial recognition after update was so fast before. Now using iris
Iris is significantly better, safer and faster.
how safe is the iris scanner - from a medical POV
when activating it - you get loads of disclaimers including one saying to always keep at least 8 inch between eyes and phone to prevent retina damage - i mean WTF!!!!!!
has anyone looked into this ****?

Yeah I saw the warning that scared me. I'm a delivery driver and drive around 350mi a day Monday- Friday can't have my eyes damaged. Plus just payed 4500 for lasic
I have had lasik also. I would not worry about it. All things have warnings like that... heck, even your basic computer screens have warnings.
Yeah since the Att update face recognition doesn't work at all for me, wellaybe 1 time out if 10. Annoying. I'm not bothered someone could use a photo of me to unlock. If my phone is ever out of my possession for that long, I'm disabling it remotely anyway
Yep, got my s8 last night, was showing my GF how incredible facial recognition was, THEN I applied the update. Doesn't work at all, the fingerprint scanner is in the worst possible place, and I wear glasses so the iris scanner won't work for me. I can't believe I'm starting to miss the fingerprint scanner on the S7.
Hi all, hopefully this has not been discussed. I searched but from the xda app search isn't so great...
Anyway wondering if anyone is having issues with trusted voice. I noticed okay Google was only working when phone was authenticated. And not from secured lock screen. Figured trusted voice was disabled, so I checked and it's just not there. (See image). I'm on 4.5.8 stock not rooted. I have tried clearing data on Google app.
Any suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks!
I wanted to use Google Assistant so had to use the beta versions of Google app and services. My Smart Lock screen is showing Trusted Voice, Trusted Face, On body, Trusted places, Trusted devices. With that being stated Google Assistant has never worked from my the lock screen which requires Trusted Voice to be enabled. Of course it's enabled on my OP5 but still doesn't work, which is a real pain in the butt.
Current versions:
Google v7.9.18.21.amd64
Google Play Services v11.5.20
I running OOS v4.5.8 with an unlocked bootloader and rooted (SuperSU). Recently I changed from stock to the Franco Kernel but Trusted voice has been available on my OP5 since I first got this device. My replacement of the stock kernel made no difference in this case.

That's dumb! Have you tried toggling Smart lock in the trust agents of the security menu?
Also I noticed you're in Canada (eh?), mind if I ask which language you run as primary on your device? English US, Canada?
I started on English US as google assistant wouldnt fire up with Canada, but since then, I'm back to English Canada. Assistant still works, but as mentioned only when phone is unlocked.

I'd read that others (UK) switched back to their native language after getting Google Assistant working and all was well. I've left it as US as primary with Canada as a second as it simply doesn't effect me. I like spelling colour as "color" which always made more sense to me.
My real reason for not switching back is that I've done a lot of home automation scripting with Google Assistant/Tasker's Voice Assist/Termux to automate my audio/video equipment and associated lighting. As far as I'm concerned Google Assistant may be in beta for built in functionality but is alpha for any third party integration. Every Google app update seems to break something while fixing other functionality (e.g. macros).
I like the automation I've created enough that I have little interest in rocking the boat at the moment. I had previously retested Trusted voice and the lock screen after updates and will again until it works. Right now I'm using a work around with an app called Caffeine (disables the lock screen timeout when charging) and Screen off (only turns the screen off but does not trigger the lock screen).
Also I may have tried toggling Trusted agents as I did so many tests and retests while working on Google Assistant functionality, I just can't remember.
I think there is something very broken with Smart Lock on this phone's stock OS.... I set up my cars BT as trusted device.... still i need to Authenticate with finger/pattern. Coming from a 6P where this all worked seamlessly it's frustrating.
My assisstant works from lock screen with "OK Google".
Stock 4.5.8 with root.
I boot into TWRP instead of flashing the recovery. Still have stock recovery.

By the way how do you pull off the trick of "boot into TWRP"? I've never read about how to do that. Also what does it buy you other than maybe the GA working on the lock screen?

Just get your phone plugged into your PC and from bootloader you type "fastboot boot recovery <twrp file name>.img

Unfortunately I could not use it as I had to borrow a relatives Win10 PC just to flash TWRP in the first place as I couldn't get around that fastboot file size error multiple people experienced no matter which USB ports (v2 or v3) or adb versions I tried. Going to another computer (same model of motherboard) and TWRP was flashed in a second.

No worries, I've never actually used that trick as I can always think of a good reason to just have TWRP installed. But times are weird right now, I'm still 100% stock on this phone aside from oem unlock toggle being set. This is the longest I've gone on a fully stock setup. Aside from this Smart Lock/Trusted Voice issue everything is perfect on the OS.
Okay so this is weird. I can't believe i didn't try this test. I can yell "okay google" until the cows come home while the screen is off. it wont light up or unlock. However if i wake the screen THEN say okay google, my phone unlocks and assistant begins working. Is this the same for others who claim "everything is working fine for me"?

Well fancy that. I just did your test, locked screen with power button, with screen off there's no reaction to "OK Google". I then double tap the screen and the lock screen displays. Now "OK Google" unlocks the phone and Google Assistant is fully functional.
Kind of feels like a sprinter that falls inches before the finish line. What the heck Google or OnePlus? I wonder if custom ROMs have the same issue?
Thanks for noticing this phenomena and posting about it.
I just tried to use my banking apps for the first time on my brand new OnePlus 5. It's completely stock still, not rooted or anything. I have 2 banks and both of their banking apps fail to load. Also Android pay fails to work, tells me I need a network connection when I already have one. I confirmed my banking apps are still working on my HTC one m9 but I no longer have the s8 or s6 I use to use Android pay with. I tried searching on here and didn't see anyone else having these issues. Any ideas?
Is your bootloader perhaps unlocked?
Unless oneplus sends them out that way from the factory, no. But I haven't actually checked.
Did you give the apps the correct permissions?
I had the same issue with one of my Banking apps, fully stock with locked bootloader, and when opening the app it sent me to a website page stating that my software was modified.
My solution was to unlock bootloader, install TWRP, root and use banking on my laptop :angel:
Sent from my OnePlus 5 using XDA Labs
I guess my solution is going to be to carry my old HTC around and tether off the OnePlus when I need to check my account balance. I sure hope they fix this soon.
Have you tried Magisk hide? Every app i've tried has been spot on with that, work email, snapchat, everything really, don't use banking apps on my phone so couldn't say for sure.
I got an update last night, plus I went into app permissions and gave them every permission possible. Still no go. It says the app has encountered an unexpected problem after it tries for maybe 15 seconds to load.
Snapchat works fine. I haven't tried magisk. I wasn't going to bother rooting this phone because I like it as is.
Android Pay and my bank apps work fine on my stock, locked bootloader OP5. I'm in the US.
Seems peculiar Android Pay fails. Have you tried hard resetting?
I cleared data and uninstalled all 3 apps and I got both banking apps to work on the second try. Android pay kept telling me I needed a data connection which I already had. I realized NFC wasn't turned on so I turned that on and then it seemed to get past that part but it tells me my card isn't supported so I need to look into that with my bank.
Not sure why it didn't work the first time. It seems like I've had to reboot this phone for weird glitches a lot more than I did on my old s6. Hopefully that doesn't continue.
Update: they stopped working again. They seem to work once and then the next time you to try to log in it fails every time. Glad I still have an old HTC one m8 I can bank with. Lol. I'm not doing Android pay on a phone without a finger print sensor though.

You're stock and they're not working? Weird.
Do you have to de-authorise the banking apps to use them on another phone? My back accounts app requires that
I don't believe so. I traded the s6 on the s8 and they worked fine right away on both of those ones when I first got them. Plus I've used them interchangeably on my main phone and my backup HTC m9 quite a bit. I reinstalled them on the m9 when the OnePlus failed to work and that's how I've been getting by.
I have been having an issue with Venmo. It won't let me verify the device, this has been happening since I got the device. Now I am unlocked/rooted with Magisk hiding, and it's still not letting me verify. So strange.

Figured out my issue. I had an adblock enabled and it wouldn't let it send the code because of that. Disabled and all is well.:good::good:
I am in the UK. My OP5 is completely stock. I have Lloyds, Nationwide and Barclaycard banking apps installed and working plus Android Pay. So, it should work OK.
I am running version .8 of the OS

I believe I was on 4.5.10 before the update and now it's 4.5.11. So maybe they broke it with the .10 update? I really don't see anything else I could have done to make it not work. I've never had a problem before even on rooted phones.
OP curious what does your android pay do that it doesn't work?
Does it open or when you pay it doesn't work
I haven't tried it at a terminal yet, but I believe it's ready to work. I switched banks and my new debit card isn't compatible with Android pay even though I was lead to believe it did.
I added my one credit card and my old debit card and they seem to be ready to go now.
So my issue now is only with the banking apps, not Android pay.
My snapchat (lest safetynet) won't work at all. Tried different roms.....
