Galaxy Note Edge after Marshmallow update randomly restarts its self and prompts for physical password...

Ever since the update for my Galaxy Note Edge, it randomly locks up then restarts it's self. Once it comes back up it prompts me to put in my password instead of my finger print. I was hoping I was not the only one experiencing this issue. Hopefully there is a follow up update that will resolve some of these issues.

Security is always at the forefront of our business model TayheeInc1.The developers of the operating system has made the pass code an initial requirement to unlock the device before the fingerprint can be used to unlock the device upon boot up. This is a protocol that can not be disabled unless the fingerprint and pass code function is disabled entirely. How long does the device sit idle before it locks up? Can we assume that you have your personal information bcked up on either your Gmail account or your Verizon Cloud account?

After booting up the phone, you will be required to use the password first time you access the phone before you can use the fingerprint. It is the designed security feature.

Updates are meant to improve your service TayheeInc1. I regret to learn of the difficulties you are experiencing after the update. Does the phone lock up only when accessing certain applications? Prior to the phone updating, did you enable the finger print unlock function?

When did they add that feature in this recent update? Can it be turned off?

It has improved my service overall so that's a plus!! But it is when the phone is idle it just seems to lock up when I press the power button to turn it on every so often. Then it boots up and prompts for that password saying the phone has been restarted. But prior to the update I did enable the finger print unlock function.

It was done to increase the security of the phone and can't be turned off unless you remove all security lockscreen.

Prtsgrl, That is very unusual to experience with your edge panel. We're here to help you figure this out. When did this start happening to you? Are you able to access the panel at all?
