Hi, I'm using Note9 with Screen lock type = PIN + Intelligent scan + Fingerprints.
Here is my experience:
[1] When I turn on screen (by the Power button or Home button), the lock screen appears. Here I can swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Notification bar.
[2] If I swipe the screen to unlock, the num-pad appears where users can input PIN. Here I can NOT access to the Notification bar.
The question is, how can I disable access to the Notification bar at the step [1] above.
(access to the Notification bar is already disabled in the step [2] above).
Thank you guys for reading my query.
No one faced with this issue or you treat it as normal?

I don't see notification when I pull down on the lock screen. All I get is the settings pull down shortcuts.

Weird. On my Note9 it happens as steps [1] and [2] I shown above.
Did you check it clearly by following steps [1] and [2] carefully?
Thanks for your feedback.

I'm using pin and fingerprint for unlock also.
If I press the power button to lock the device , then I press the home button im presented with the lock screen. If swipe up I'm asked to enter pin number. If I swipe down I see the shortcut toggles.
I have my notifications as icons not banners though.

Yes yes I meant these shortcut toggles.
I don't want this to be shown on the lock screen as I (or other people) can change settings by tapping on these shortcut toggles.

I know exactly what you mean. I had the same issue on my Pixel. What is more frustrating for me is that many times when the phone is in my pocket the notification icons get pulled down and something gets turned on/off by accident. There should be a way to disable the notification pull down until the phone is unlocked.

Oh, never mind, I have tested on my Note9 and it turned out that although you can pull down to show the notification bar, you can NOT toggle those icons as it requires the screen to be unlocked before toggling on/off.
So no need to worry anymore.

Yes but here's the problem... if you accidently pull the notifications down and touch an icon and then pull it out of your pocket and unlock it, anything you accidently touched will be turned on/off. Therefore I still wish there was a way to disable it from the lock. screen

Nope, all unattended touches before unlocking screen will not be accepted. I have tested.
You can check it by yourself.

I did test it. From the unlock screen I pulled down notifications and touched the wifi icon. Then I unlocked my phone and the wifi turns off.

I also tested on my Note 9, here's my results:
WiFi can't be turned off unless you unlock the phone right away, so if the phone is locked and you pull down the notification panel and click to turn off WiFi, it will it prompt to unlock the phone, if you don't unlock and screen turns off and then you unlock, WiFi will still be on.
Bluetooth: It can be turned off and doesn't require the phone to be unlocked, but it can't be turned on without unlocking the phone.
Sounds: Ringer can be changed without unlocking the phone, so you could accidentally turn your ringer off
Flight Mode: Can't be changed unless you unlock the phone (same scenario as with WiFi)
These are the only 4 I've tested.

Anyone had any luck with this?
I'm also trying to disable the Notification pull-down drawer on the lock screen for security reasons.
I went through all the menus and settings, but it seems Samsung has removed this option altogether.
I'm using a Note 9, Android 9, OneUI v1.0 (latest as of this post).

I just got my Gear VR and this thing is amazing, but I've noticed something different once I started playing with the Gear VR.
When the display times-out and goes to sleep, it doesn't lock the phone. When I press the home button/power button it goes straight to the homepage and bypasses the lock screen. It doesnt matter what kind of lock I use (pattern, finger, pin, etc).
If I use the power button to turn off the phone, the lock screen appears. Does anyone else experience this?
I noticed the same thing. I'm using s view cover and the phone sometime locks sometime doesn't.
That's good to know. Glad Im not the only one experiencing this.

Mine has just done the same today. I left my phone in the gear vr while not using it when came back to it about 15 mins later the lock screen has disappeared. I use to have the fingerprint unlock which has gone and goes straight to home screen when I power on, does anyone know how to get it back please?
Go to Display under setting and see what timer you have. I did 15 secs to test. Next go to Lockscreen under settings > under 'Lock Automatically" make sure 'immediately' is checked.

I have my lock screen set for fingerprint. If the device is shutdown or restarted, the lockscreen asks for a fingerprint. After that if the power button is pressed to shut off and lock the screen, the next time it is turned on the lockscreen asks for just a swipe. It wont ask for a fingerpring again until the system is restarted again. Anyone else have this problem? Solutions?
You have to go into settings and set the power button to lock device. Or you can change the settings to lock device after a certain period of time.
It's under Lockscreen/Secure Lock Settings

You can also set it to not lock if it's connected to a certain device, like a Bluetooth.
This is a god sent because it's always been a pain to unlock the phone in a car after it's gone to sleep and you are streaming music from it.
Thanks! That was driving me crazy. I knew it was there, but couldn't find it.
I know what you mean! It was confusing the heck out of me in the beginning but then caught on.
How do one wish to switch back to just a simple swipe after choosing fingerprint unlock
The SWIPE option is now greyed out ??
unlock fingerprint Note 5
Hello, by mistakenly i am facing issue of unlocking my Note 5 from fingerprint lock also i don't remember backup password..
dont want to loose my pictures / data, cannot able to unlock it from google sign in, because its Mobile Data and Wifi was on Off Mode...
Now dont know what to do... please help me in step wise !!
Thanks and Best Regards
Ok I'm feeling a little dumb lol. On thr AT&T variant, the fingerprint sensor is not waking up the device when locked and screen off. Am I just missing a setting somewhere?
The international version works just fine to wake up and unlock screen, but the AT&T version doesn't.
Any input?
Works for me

My att note 8 works as expected with this. Maybe a setting i forgot about enabling. Perhaps power save more disables this ? Are you using power save?
Edit- tested with power save. This doesn't seem to be the culprit.
Ok there's a setting where you scan in your prints. It's a toggle you must enable. That should do the trick.

Yup it's under lock screen and security then smart Lock. You wanna select the first option and it should automatically unlock to home screen when using your fingerprint.

Screenshot didn't come through, but if you mean the fingerprint unlock toggle, yes I have it on.
Could you fix the problem?
Could you fix the problem? I bought Galaxy S9+ AT&T version and it seems has the same problem.

The only way I could get it to work was to set screen to lock immediately with power button. Can't remember the exact setting title, but I think it's Settings/secure lock settings
Basically if you set the screen to lock as soon as it turns off it'll trigger the fingerprint to turn on screen immediately.
It worked!!! Thank you very very much. Really appreciate it. I was one step farther to return the phone.

I just wanted to say thanks. I flashed my unlocked Note8 with the AT&T firmware to see if it is worth the bloat. On the unlocked firmware I never had to make that change, it was always on. I don't know why I didn't think to check that setting and I don't know why AT&T would set it to ten minutes, there are so many things that can happen in ten minutes. Thanks!
I have a Bixby routine set for Home that turns on Wi-Fi and keeps the phone unlocked. Trouble is, the phone unlock seems to stop working after a period of time (using the phone or not), and the only way to fix it is to turn off the routine and turn it back on.
Anyone else seeing this?
Unfortunately, I do not have an answer to your question, but another question: How do you set the phone to unlocked? Cannot find "unlock phone" as an option, except at the default "in car"-routine
I just tried creating a new routine, and I see the option under the "Lock Screen" category.

Strange. The only options on my S10e for Lock screen, is Always on display, and Change lock screen shortcuts.
If I could just copy another routine, it would be easy.
Why not use smart lock and set it to stay unlocked at a location?

Smart Lock tends to rarely work for me, and there's also the fact it disables 4 hours after inactivity.
I am in a basement, but I don't think that's actually causing an issue as the moment I disable and re-enable my Home routine, it starts working as it should again immediately.
Do you have received a work profile enforced on the phone?

What's the initial routine you're using? Also, what's your normal lock screen type and unlock method?
I use a fingerprint + Pattern unlock normally. As for the routine, it's the "Home" one that I believe was an initial recommended one that I just modified.
It will show up if the if condition is set to "place"
I have my P5 which I love. But there's one annoying thing about it that I can't figure out how to toggle: When I turn off the display by clicking the power button, then when I touch the (now turned off) display again (eg whwen putting the phone in my pocket) it turns on in an "unlocked" state. The padlock on the top of the screen is unlocked and I can interact with whatever apps are displayed on my lock screen. If I turn off the display and put the phone down on a table then (at least after a while) when I double click the display it turns on and the padlock is now displayed locked and I can interact with anything until I actually unlock it using the fingerprint sensor.
So my question is: Is there any way I can make the phone lock immediatly and completely when I switch off the display by clicking the power button?
Thanks in advance

Actually yes. But I had that switched on but as it says: "Except when kept unlocked by Smart lock". That I had missed. Smart lock was switched on and I hope that was the culprit. It is now switched off
Thanks for the help!
