Try locking phone with the power button & then use fingerprint sensor to unlock it.

Stick to the TouchWiz skin. Second go to setting and delete all the old fingerprint data at once. Now set your left and right thumb as the fingerprint sensor lock. For the third fingerprint use the thumb of a family member as back up. In case something happens to you he/she can access the device. Also when setting up the fingerprint lock, take your full time and do it with care. Normally it takes about few minutes per finger but it is worth it. Also when you use your fingerprint to unlock the device. And sure it is clean of oil, water or any sticky substance like guns, wheat etc. I hope my advice will work and you have better experience with the device if not than you have to visit a nearby Samsung service center. Regards

                        It's not the apps, it's the android system. I disabled the auto download, but it still checks and keeps telling to update on the notifications and on the configs, until I update.

                          AnonD-542833, 01 Mar 2017What updates your talking about? I mean apps updates or OS Updates? You can go to settings》abo... moreThank you for your reply!
                          The problem is android updates, not apps. I have disabled the auto download, and the android do not download updates, but it still checks for updates, and keeps telling me that "there's a new version... update now... bla bla", it keeps annoying me until I do.
                          Actually, a lot of things in this device are annoying: it keeps telling me to save battery when it still have 30% (should be on 10% or maybe never...), telling me to save data usage but I have a unlimited data package, even if I am using wifi, and I cannot disable those notifications because they're system apps, the option to disable notifications does not exist on then.
                          If it helps, my android is 6.0.1 (MMB29K.A510MUBS3BQB2)

                                      zaj, 16 Mar 2017I simply cant trust samsungs anymore if their flagship battery (note 7) is defective, how much... moreNote 7 was a different case. It's battery has problem which was built by other suppliers. You can read authentic reviews of Lenevo devices where many reported that their devices blasted when they are using them, which is more dangerous as it happened with multiple models. Also any one can now a days blast a battery by overcharging it. So stop blaming Samsung. Here in India Samsung is the number 1 company and the mid range device are very popular. I got 4 galaxy in my house including J7 Prime, A5 (2016), On 7 pro and J Max. And I don't think any one of them will blast unless I intend to blast them.
