You probably disabled the ongoing notification. I am working on a fix for this. When you enable the ongoing notification again it should be fast :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] pepe100:
I disable and enable ongoing notification and it is still slower than the previous versions
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] PadraigOCuinn:
Any chance of an new style logo Rick? Not that your current one is ugly or anything.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Due to compatibility reasons it might be possible that it is a little slower. I am trying to fix this :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I will try to make another logo when I have some more time :o
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] PadraigOCuinn:
Thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] pepe100:
I come back to the version 3.6.2 which is very fast and stable. I am using Android lollipop
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay thanks for the feedback :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] anoopverma1:
Hi Rick,

Thank for such a nice app.

Just I am unable to use app today, however it was working great since yesterday.

Suddenly it started giving error (screenshot attached)

I am not able to unlock any of the lock app not.

I tried updating the app, downgrading and even reinstalling the app but all in vein.

Please check so that I can start using it gain.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Won't the screen go away or does it keep returning?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] anoopverma1:
screen does not go away even after clicking on close. secondly in order to unlock app which is used by fingersecurity I have to reboot my phone otherwise it is not allowing me to unlock.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay did you update FingerSecurity or the firmware of your device yesterday?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] anoopverma1:
Nope system was not updated and if app got updated automatically then I don't know... Still I tried to use previous version that also came up with same error.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] MrHomebrew:
Yes it is also running slower on the Galaxy S7 g935w8 exynos Canadian Variant.

I am on the latest FingerSecurity and tried all the recommendations with no luck, still slower then before.

Something about the last 3 updates or so has slowed things down quit a bit.

I will be patient and sure a resolution will come soon
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
When does the screen show up?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am trying to fix this :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] geovass:
I am using a new S7 Edge (exynos) and the application is a fast as it can be! No lag and instant lock.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That is great to hear :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] DroidBonzai:
Hi, i have a Galaxy S5 (G900F) and the fingersecurity-app worked fine until today's securityupdate from Samsung.

Now, the app opens, but doesn't protect the apps i've set to be protected anymore. If i click on a "protected" app, it just opens it without checking my Fingerprint.

I reinstalled Fingersecurity but it didn't fix the issue.

Alex
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi Alex,

Please make sure that you are using FingerSecurity version 3.7.5. This version will ask for usage access permission.

This permission is needed to detect which app you are using after the security update from Samsung :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] DroidBonzai:
Thank you very much. Now it works perfectly again.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] PadraigOCuinn:
Hey Ricky, will you be enabling login services at any stage or are you going to keep it as a locker perminately?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am trying to make a login service though I will probably make another app for it ?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] PadraigOCuinn:
Ah don't do that in cooperate it with finger security. Unless it will have similar locking features and more advanced setups :D then I'll be really happy.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay. I will keep that in mind :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] MrHomebrew:
I would say try and keep it all as one app if you do add such a feature. Would be a great addition.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay. Thanks for your opinion :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] zooster:
Add profiles, please!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:

Could you explain your idea a little more? I am not really sure what you mean.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] piri_vm:
I have now the S7 Edge and work amazing.

Have you a provision when Fake screen for a specific App release? It's the only thing, I must have:)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am trying to make this function asap. On the moment I am working on some problems with Android Marshmallow :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] MrHomebrew:
Fingers crossed on something special for the next update.

To think how far FingerSecurity has come.

??????? amazing developer
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Dipayan4u:
Hey Rick, I am using ur app and custom themes were working fine. I mean i could assign custom image for security background.

Last night i formatted my phone, downloaded your app from play store, but now even though i am able to assign custom image but its not showing up. Any guess where i am messing up?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi. So you are able to set an image for the background. Does FingerSecurity say it is using an image as background in the description of the setting?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Dipayan4u:
No it doesnt say anything like that. After selecting the image i get the lock screen for fingersecurity app, authorize and attached screenshot say the rest.

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay it seems FingerSecurity was not able to import the image...

Which app are you using to import the image?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] PadraigOCuinn:
Hi Rick another issue for you :). This issue is very intermittent tho. There are times when the app freezes after swiping and you aren't able to use the any part of the scan until you lock the screen and open it again.

Sent from my SM-G900W8
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
So you can't click on the text below the app name to reset the lockscreen?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] PadraigOCuinn:
Nope I have to actually physically lock the screen and then it returns to normal after I unlock it

Sent from my SM-G900W8
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay. Thanks for reporting this I am going to take a look at it :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] PadraigOCuinn:
You'll need some luck. It might be trouble to reproduce

Sent from my SM-G900W8
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Yes I didn't experience the problem yet but I will try to reproduce it :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Dipayan4u:
Google photos. It was working before perfectly before. Even that time i was using google photos.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay are you using a local image or one that is stored on your Google account. If it is on your Google account. Please try to download it to your device and then import it :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Dipayan4u:
Local image. I tried your suggestion before putting it here.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay :) After you reset your phone did you do a clean install or a restore of FingerSecurity?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Dipayan4u:
Wiped everything. Clean install and downloaded the latest Fingersecurity app from play store
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] PadraigOCuinn:
Hey Rick does the app protect the popup sms

Sent from my SM-G900W8
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay that is weird. I just tried to import an image from my device and it worked. Is there something special about the image?

Did you maybe disable the permission for FingerSecurity to read files on your device?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Dipayan4u:
FingerSecurity has all the permissions to access Contacts, Storage, Telephone. There must be something wrong I am doing I guess but I cant figure it out sadly.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Could you try to use another app to select the image? Maybe a file explore like ES File Explorer?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Dipayan4u:
Let me try. Will update u ASAP.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Dipayan4u:
Everything is working fine now after i clean flashed again. Thanx
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That is great news :o
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Dipayan4u:
Yup. And thanks for the great app.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] parthabhatta:
This app works well with Android N on my Nexus 5x. Thanked clephas. I started using the app on beta stage you sent me through email on Marshmallow on the same device. Excellent app. BTW is "Locking the screen through finger print scanner" is at all possible?

Regards.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That is great :D

Locking your device with your fingerprint can't be done with FingerSecurity. Though as far as I know all devices with a fingerprint sensor have this option by default.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] open_up:
Thank you for this awsome app.

I used it when in note 5

Now change to S7edge. This app have delay 1-2s when I open an protected app.

Ex: when i open Messenger. This app open and I can see the detail in Messenger before this app protect.

How can I solve this problem?

Sorry my bad English.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am glad you like FingerSecurity. Try to enable the "Improved protection" option. That should fix the delay ?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] alfkhr:
I like the app. Can you add the feature that assign gesture for fingerprint sensor. Such double tap or swipe to do certain action. ?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
The fingerprint sensor on the Nexus 6P requires the requesting app to be opened. So it is not possible to detect a touch outside the current app. Therefore the actions could only be in FingerSecurity. I assume that is not what you want, right?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rusl1TA:
I've always used (and loved) FingerSecurity but after the latest updates it causes battery draining with a wakelock and I must limit it with Amplify

(sorry for my english) Am I the only one to have this problem?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Which version of FingerSecurity are you using? Also how much battery does FingerSecurity use on full battery?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Clasimodo:
Great app. Thanks. Would it be possible to have fingersecurity as a lockscreen protection too, where swiping is enough in safe places?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
On the moment this is not possible. Though I am planning on making an option for this :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Clasimodo:
Thanks for the prompt answer. That would be marvelous.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] markjh:
Hi,

I just bought the safe places Addon. Works like expected?

But could you also reverse it? Like unsafe places.

Thanks

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6P mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That is great to hear :)

On the moment this is not possible. Though you can disable a safe location for a specific app (which makes it kind of an unsafe location for that app).

I will add this to my to do list so that you can specify unsafe locations as well as safe ones :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] qareembizzle:
Great app, i hope there is option for secure lockscreen too,

And can you recommend me app have fingerprint lock on lockscreen? Because i see all fake and my custom rom lockscreen fp dont work :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am not aware of an app that acts as a lockscreen with fingerprint security. There are indeed much fake apps to prank people so it is very difficult to find a real one...
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] superleeds27:
Have it installed but not active and its still using CPU, only 5-10 minutes per charge cycle but still!?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That is correct. You should keep in mind that FingerSecurity is always running when the screen of the device is on. This is because it has to protect itself, some settings and your protected apps. So even if you don't have protected apps then FingerSecurity still needs to run to protect itself and the settings :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Tan2lar:
Hi! I just realize that you're a member of XDA Dev. It's a great app, al least it's not bloatware app like any other "lock" app to be honest. Right now i'm using Redmi Note 3, and i think it's a lil bit slow. My protected app popped-out before the lock screen. Are there any methods to put the lock screen popped-out first before the protected app? Because i'm so sensitive with my app. Appreciated this app, would buy the premium when i have some money :p
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thanks. I am glad you like FingerSecurity.

I am aware that on some devices the protected apps are visible for a split second. Unfortunately it is not possible to start FingerSecurity before you open the protected app since it is simply not possible to know when you are going to open an app. Though the option "improved protection" and "ongoing notification" can help reduce this delay to almost nothing. The "ongoing notification" option will make sure that FingerSecurity runs smoother. The "Improved protection" option can improve the recognition speed of the protected apps though it can also decrease the speed. Try to enable or disable it and see what works better for you :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Tan2lar:
Thanks! Now it's a lil bit faster, but nothing faster than MIUI built-in app lock fuction but that's okay. Can you explain me why MIUI built-in app lock can start before the app started? What's the different with FingerSecurity?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Sure. The difference is that the MIUI built-in app lock is a system app and FingerSecurity is not.

The system opens apps for you when you click on the app icon in your launcher. Since the MIUI built-in app lock is a system app it is probably integrated in that process. This way the system can first open the built-in app lock and then the protect apps.

FingerSecurity is not a system app so it relies on the data that the system provides. "Normal" apps don't know when you open an app it is only possible for "normal" apps to detect that some app is currently open.

I hope this helps understand the difference :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Tan2lar:
So any other lock screen app would do the exact thing as FingerSecurity? There's posibility to slowed down? If the answer is yes, FingerSecurity is the best then. No ad, no bloatware, just security. Keep up the good work mate, and make it even better and better! Thanks for a great app.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Yes all third party security apps like FingerSecurity work in the same was as FingerSecurity does so they have the same problem. Though the delay might vary depending on how much options the apps have etc.

Thanks, in my opinion there shouldn't be ads inside a security app :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Dipayan4u:
Nice opinion mate. :svetius:
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] panast:
double notification

Hello, I am using fingersecurity for a long time mainly to protect my email (protect yahoo mail app) as I often receive sensitive info.

So I bought the protect notifications feature of fingersecurity to protect the notifications pop ups from yahoo mail app.

The problem that I have with protect notifications feature since version 3.8 (I think) is that whenever I receive a single email, it displays that I have 2 notification(s) from yahoo mail which confuses me as I scroll down the list to verify that there isn't a second unread email. I have checked it again and again by sending email to myself and fingersecurity always showed that I have 2 notifications instead of one. In order to be sure before post in this thread I ensured that all the incoming emails even from years ago are marked as read. I also tried to manage the yahoo mail notifications through samsung settings and it worked properly, it never showed 2 notifications instead of 1.

Its not a big deal to display more notifications than actual but I thought its worth mentioning in the proper thread.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thanks for reporting this. I am aware that some apps might have this issue.

This is caused by the protected app updating the notification. FingerSecurity monitors how much notifications the app gives and replaces the notifications with the protected notification. When the original notification gets updated then it is very hard to detect if there is actually a new message (or email).

If I can find a fix for this then it will be definitely available soon :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Youdoofus:
i tried scrolling thru the OP posts to see if this had been addressed, but i didnt see it. As a test, i set this app up and got gmail secured with the finger scanner, worked great! But my OCD mind told me to see if you can just uninstall the app and gain access to the protected apps, and you can. Is there a way you can make the system verify the finger print before uninstalling? Otherwise the security is waaaaay too easily compromised!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] le0.br4zuc4:
There is a setting in the app, I believe it's to enable the app as a phone administrator (can't remember the name correctly right now) and what is does is disable the option to uninstall the app.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Youdoofus:
oh, right on then! :) thanks!!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Like already mentioned you can prevent this. The option for this is called "advanced security". With the option enabled you can't uninstall FingerSecurity :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Youdoofus:
cool! sorry i missed that part :(
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] piri_vm:
Amazing job. Now, this app is complete. With FakeCrash on specific app it's amazing. I protect specific chat on Whatsapp with WhatsappX and I add FakeCrash on this app, my wife never know...

Where can I donate for your great job?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
You are welcome. I am glad you like FingerSecurity! If there is any other option that you would like let me know :)

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] alozide:
When will the dark/black/colour UI theming be available for this app in the settings?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
You dont need root.

The log file is located on the internal sdcard.

And the name of the file is FingerSecurityLogs.txt
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Docmjldds:
I know I don't need root. I am simply using an app that allows me to play and mess around etc with RW functionality. There is NO log file that I can find :(

IOW...I also use ES File Explorer. No log file.....Going to try the uninstall and reinstall shuffle again with your latest apk file that is supposed to produce the log file after running the app.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okey i hope it is there then. For me te location in ES File Explorer is /sdcard/FingerSecurityLogs.txt
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] hazri1974:
also cant find the log file...weird
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Docmjldds:
Here is a screen shot of ES File explorer opened to SD card and no text file. Sorry. Again, not even sure this is installing correctly since it immediately goes to home screen after I run my finger swipe :(
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Thats strainge i will upload the apk again. Maby i uploaded the wrong one.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Docmjldds:
Thanks...
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
here the apk

Hope you can find it now
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Docmjldds:
Just grabbed the latest. Back soon

EDIT: NOPE...I'm looking at file version and it is the same 1.1.2 Cannot generate a log that I can find. And ONLY open to home screen after finger swipe. Besides uninstall and reinstall.

I tried clearing the data and cache using application info in app manager.

Edit: Went to recovery. Delete cache and dalvik and fixing permissions. Watching Android upgrade 420 apps right now. Other than that no clue. Sometimes I see it flash the apps page extremely quickly before it goes to home screen. IOW I can in a blink see the apps choices I should be seeing. But it's just a quick blink. Plus when I open the app, it seems the page that shows the finger swipe loads twice before I actually do the swipe. Not sure that helps without a log, but its the best objective findings I can offer right now.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Meteorman:
When will a new version, or is there betas to load

meteorman
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Docmjldds:
Hmmm read the last few posts. We have been working on this already. Not good to be asking ETA's to begin with. Look back and see if you can create a log file from the apk just uploaded a few posts back. Doesn't for me.

Hi [MENTION=5950828]Rick Clephas[/MENTION]

As i said before the app is great. Still, there's room for improvements and here's another suggestion that may change the core of the app !

When i'm using my phone normally, a private usage mode i'd say, i don't need to swipe every time to unlock essential apps (Gallery, sms app...) because it become, i might say "irritating" with time. A single swipe to unlock the phone for me will do it and it's plenty enough.

This app is usefull when someone else asks for your phone to take a look at it, or pass a phone call for instance. Yes here i agree that sensitive apps must be locked.

Here comes my suggestion. Can you tweak your app, in order to make it able to lock apps that has been selected as sensitive WHEN i use a specific finger (Left index for instance) to unlock the phone from the lockscreen ?

Case Scenario : My friend wants to pass a phone call or something else, checking email maybe because his cell phone's battery is dead. In this case, i know that i setup FingerSecurity to lock specific apps when i swipe my left index. I only have to use this specific finger to be sure enough that my things are secured. When i want to use my phone normally, i only have to swipe using my right index finger.

This would be awesome ! I don't know if it's possible to exploit information from the lockscreen to achieve this. If it's not possible, you can create an initial homescreen of FingerSecurity, that will engage this privacy mode once the right finger has been scanned.

I hope this was clear enough.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hi doctor_vai

I get the idea i think it is a realy nice idea. And I will add this option if Samunsungs API supports this kind of thing.( I hope it does)

I am going to find out if and or how this is possible. and let you know
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I am sorry to hear this.

On the moment I cant think of anything that would cause this not to work but I will try to find it tomorrow
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] atilla88:
App is overall working good but sometimes if i unlock my app it brings me to my homescreen rather then to the app
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] sp0r0s:
i believe that as long as the app is in testing it should be free.

please dont get me wrong.

i'm not cheap but i feel like a beta tester here. i like to help you build this app and i will gladly pay for it or donate but for a finished product.

maybe you can upload here in xda the pro app and keep in market the free and pro app, like many developers do? i hope i don't offend you saying all this.

i like this app and i hope you finish it and make it even more awsome than it is :good:
