Fingerprint to unlock question

[purpleparrotuk]

I have my s7 edge paired to my pebble time watch. It is added as a trusted device so I can just swipe to unlock my phone.

Sometimes the phone still asks me to use fingerprint even though it says the pebble time is definitely connected. Does it depend if I let the phone autosleep or if I pressed the power button to turn off the screen?

I believe you have to set it as a trusted device.

Thanks but it is a trusted device. It works most of the time. Maybe the Bluetooth goes to sleep on the phone now and again.

There is a four hour 'lock anyway' even with a trusted device. I have to unlock with fingerprint every morning even tho the charger sits next to my watch charger.

Yes, this is correct.

Mine does this every once in a while also. It might do it four or five times in a row (within minutes) then it goes back to normal.
