Get rid of swipe screen?

[ThanksToXDA]

From what I've read, there's no solution, but I won't accept it until I read it on XDA.

Pressing the power button when using pattern lock does not bring up the pattern lock screen. Instead there's a stupid swipe screen first.

Has a way been found to disable that swipe screen & go straight to the pattern lock screen?

I remember this first appeared with the Marshmallow update with my Note 5. Lots of people complained about it, don't think a fix was found. I just lived with it & now I'm used to it. In fact I totally forgot about it until reading your post.

OK. Let's try another approach.

While looking into this I learned that setting security to "None" works. Tried it, & it does seem to.

I need a lock, though. Sooo...what about using a third party swipe lock? Do any support Trusted Devices?

I have mine set up as swipe to unlock with a password, no pin, no pattern. I also use fingerprint and iris to unlock. Most of the time I also have a trusted device (Gear S2 watch) connected that prevents my phone from asking for the password. There is also a setting for unlocking with the home button instead of pressing the power button. Go to Settings: Display: Navigation bar: Unlock with home button. So for me, with my watch connected, I just hard press where the home button is on the screen and I'm unlocked, no swiping! You can use this with or without AOD.

LOL, I guess I'm having trouble even accepting a non solution from XDA.

Bumping for more ideas/solutions.

Can I maybe disable it with BK Disabler (if so, I haven't found a way).

The answer is in the post right above yours. Go to settings>display>navigation bar and turn on "Unlock with Home Button".

I get what that says, however, I use the LED cover. When opening the cover it powers on the phone. I want to open & unlock...not open, swipe, & unlock...not open, press, unlock.

Basically, the only way I've found to disable the swipe screen is to disable security completely. I want the lock, though.

Method on my Note 8, Android 7.1.1

Settings, Navigation Bar, set Unlock with Home button to on. After that if you hold the home button it will skip the swipe to unlock screen. For me it takes me to my pin screen directly.

I prefer the fingerprint. Mine is set up that even if it's showing the AOD, as soon as I press the fingerprint sensor, it's INSTANTLY unlocked and showing the home screen. By far the fastest way.

solution

...........you must have installed a third party free software,like mobogenie e.t.c,so go to your settings and find permissions in there you might find a permission regarding your lock screen dont allow any non-samsung apps access to it,and that should do it,lemme know if that did the trick.ciao..........( i copy this from another web site)

This works for me. I uninstall everything which I install today., becouse swipe screen start today.
Sorry for my bad english

hey... I'm lookin for a solution on this as well

android 4.3 and kitkat we didn't have fingerprint... but we didn't have to deal with swiping all the damn time every time we turned the screen off

this sucks... want to keep the screen fingerprint/pattern without the swipe to unlock bit

There is a very discrete menu button in the upper left hand corner of the first unlock screen. That will give you the option to turn it off.

Screenshot? I'm not seeing it.

This has been on basically every android phone since lollipop. just get used to it. There's no way to change it

 

[segapuppy]

I agree with OP; having two lock screens is dumb, especially with the secure one just being on a blank screen - no wallpaper.

-just started setting up a new Note 8

You are incorrect My LG G4 running Marshmallow I was able to disable the stupid swipe first screen somehow... I know it's possible to do on my new to me LG V20 running Oreo.
I mean seriously you said "just get used to it" on XDA forums? The entire point of these forums was to customize our devices and not to accept the default. If I wanted somebody else to tell me what I wanted I'd be a sheep buying an iPhone.

The home button thing isn't working for me because my V20 doesn't have a home button and for security reasons I don't want to use fingerprint or facial recognition.

For security reasons? Are you scared your device sends your encrypted fingerprints and face image to Samsung so they can sell it to other people?

With every new device, especially from Samsung, and new iteration of Android, it becomes increasingly more difficult to change and mod things. Fewer and fewer mods are being made and become available with every new release. You can see it in the Xposed repository, as well. I doubt disabling the swipe-to-enter pin/password/pattern is very high on anyone's list of things to change. Most people have accepted it and gotten used to it. It's not really all that much of an inconvenience. It adds maybe half a second to the unlocking process.
If you want something that's quicker, just use the fingerprint scanner. Oh, wait...

I have this on the galaxy s7 active on nougat and I'm looking to get rid of it as well...

well Oreo update its gone... Oreo update also isn't very stable... how can I remove this on Nugat? even with root acess? while still keeping the stock security system?
