Hello,
I bought the Moto X4 through Amazon with the Ads and latter hated seeing them so I paid for the difference to get them off. I issue is that Everytime I unlock the using the fingerprint sensor I it just takes me to my lock screen and then I have to swipe up or I have to use my fingerprint again to take to my home screen. It did the same thing while I had the Amazon Ads i always had to do it twice to unlock my device completely.
Does any body else have that issue or is there a way for it to be just on scan and take me directly to my home screen?
I'm on the Android One version on Project Fi, and that is not how mine works. While the screen is off, I press my finger on the sensor, and it bypasses the lock screen to open my phone immediately. Works the same with both fingers I have added.
The G5 Plus had a faster fingerprint sensor.
Is there any way to use my fingerprint scanner only once and directly take me to the home screen instead of the lock screen?
Mine works like that. Just touch it and unlock directly to the home screen. Idk why your didn't. Try to remove fingerprint unlock and set it again. Must work like it should.
My guess is that this is a behavior of the Amazon version that shows ads on the lock-screen, so they have to force you to take an extra step so you actually see the ads.

I have this issue where when I unlock my screen, the touch screen is unresponsive with finger input. S-pen works fine, and all other buttons (volume, home, back, recent apps) works fine too. Just the finger touch stops working.
This issue happens when I unlock my screen 3rd or 4th time. In other words, if I unlock my phone first two times, it works fine but on 3rd or 4th time it will give me this issue. I have to lock and unlock the phone again with power button in order to get it working again.
Interestingly, this issue only happens when I don't have any screen lock setup. If I have any PIN, pattern lock or even swipe to unlock setup, the issue doesnt happen. I suspect that there is some bug with Firmware where it is waiting for the unlock to happen even when no screen lock is setup.
Anyone experiencing the same issue? Any solution for this?
I'm finding it quite difficult to turn on the screen of my XZ1C without unlocking the phone...
Sometimes I just want to look at the lock screen without the phone unlocking, but the fingerprint scanner reacts so quickly that the lock screen (along with any notifications) is gone before I've even read the time!!
Is there a way to set a delay (probably not) or set another button (vol? camera?) to wake up the screen without unlocking the phone? I'd rather not have to disable the fingerprint scanner, and I never had this issue with my Z5C.
Seriously?
People complaining about the fp-scanner being too fast nowadays?
As for solutions, you could always use a finger where you haven't stored the print.
Or use your fingernail to press the button.

That's what I'm doing - it's a bit awkward! On the Z5C there was just enough time to remove your finger before the phone unlocked so you could have a quick glance at the screen. It must use more battery to fully wake up the phone everytime the power button is pressed?
I guess "tap to wake" would have been another solution to my (admittedly small) problem.
Oh, come on now. Fast fingerprint scanner is a good thing. There shouldn't be such thing as too fast. I would simply "reserve" my middle fingers for checking the lock screen.
Even if I use the "wrong" finger, the lockscreen bounces to the left because it's tried reading the fingerprint which is also annoying when all I want to do is check the time and for any notifications!
a novel approach i just set up: when scanning your thumb, only scan the pad and not the tip. then you can use the pad to unlock and the tip to check the lock screen.
(doesn't fix the problem of the bounce tho)
Use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jarsilio.android.waveup
Just wave your hand over the proximity sensor and the screen will turn on but won't unlock the phone if you have a lock.
Don't enable the lock screen functionality though, it doesn't support fingerprint unlock.
Lol why don't u just use a another finger?

look on the Play Store for Power Button to Volume Button by TeliApp, the app is old but still works and will allow you to use the volume down button as a second screen on button. it reverts back to being a normal volume down button once the screen is on. no root required. (I would post a link but XDA won't let me because I'm a new user)
I have my phone set to lock when I turn the screen off with the power button. After updating to 9.0.6 I can just swipe up on the lockscreen without showing my face or touching the fingerprint sensor. About 25% of the time it also shows my home screen under the lockscreen before unlocking.
Oh nevermind, it's was smartlock keeping the phone unlocked. Sorry. Pls delete
This reminds me of the time I thought the finger print reader was working through my gloves. Turns out it was face unlock barly seeing me at the edge of it's field of view
Coming from a Galaxy Note 4 where I could have my fingerprint registered without having a lock screen of any kind setup,
on my Mi 8 10.2.2.0 whenever I disabled the lock screen it clears my fingerprints registered.
The fingerprint is useful specially on banking apps and such and I can't have that working now without a stupid locked screen,
I just want to tap to awake the phone or press the power button without having to reach out to the sensor on the back of the
phone, I have no need to password protect my phone.
Is there any trick to do this?
I use a widget called screen tap to lock or something or another for the double tap to sleep on any launcher. Have been using it for a while across a few phones. However when I got the S10 I just started using face unlock due to this slow and clunky FP sensor.....but I've discovered this issue where double tap to sleep with face unlock on makes the phone immediately wake back up to the lock screen for a second unlike pressing the power button which acts correctly. I tested it out on nova's built in settings without the widget (which I was using on one UI launcher) and it does the same thing so obviously it's some sort of conflict with face unlock and double tap to sleep. Anyone know why?

Wait, slow and clunky? Maybe off topic but mine is extremely consistent after they fixed it like 4 months ago. Maybe relearn prints and make sure you get the whole thumb scanned.
Also I have double tap to sleep setup on Nova using accessibility as screen lock method and tried your scenario with face unlock enabled, but did not encounter your issue on Android 10

Oh, I'm on cricket in the US , so still stuck on 9 (with no hope in sight for 10 lol). I've deleted them and reset them a few times now and idk it's just not as fast as I'm used to with capacitive ones, there's an extra second, even compared to the one in the OnePlus 7t I was using for a few days , it cannot compete. It works a lot better if you press hard and firm I guess, but again I'm not used to that. But yeah idk why it's doing that, did it to me on Nova too if I use double tap to sleep at all it immediately opens back up to the lock screen. I don't think it's looking for my face in that scenario either because it doesn't face unlock when it does it, but it definitely IS happening because of the face unlock because it doesn't happen if I turn it off altogether and use the double tap to sleep......if I press the power button to turn the screen off this does not happen.
