Android 5.0 "Smart Lock" feature does not bypass fingerprint lock, topic

SOCIALIZE IT ⇨

This is kind of an obnoxious issue with one of the new Android flagships. Android 5.0 has a "smart lock" feature that unlocks the phone based on your GPS location or if a trusted device is paired. The point of course is that you shouldn't have to unlock the phone when you're paired to your car, or to your Android Wear device, or at home or work, for example. But on the Galaxy S6/edge, it doesn't bypass the fingerprint lock, so when both are enabled you have to unlock twice. Tbqh I'm not sure Samsung's actually going to fix it. Their live chat didn't have much to say on this. I thought I should mention it in case anyone was thinking about enjoying the smart lock features AND using the fingerprint scanner.
