      PLAYER SLAYER, 08 Jun 2017What? When the phone's unlocked, just do some simple coding... moreSince it is a note series phone, Samsung may let you take notes while the phone is locked like on the Note 7. That too can be an issue

        PLAYER SLAYER, 08 Jun 2017What? When the phone's unlocked, just do some simple coding... moreIf it disabled after unlocked then how would you use it for security like opening secure folders or mobile payment. Thats why its not simple. Its like the edge screen accidental touch problem. You not touching it but you need to put your hand there. Touch screen vs embedded fingerprint, which commands will it register if you put your finger there? Example, pressing a picture on a screen using your thumb might triggered the fingerprint sensor too. So this is a really big problem.

          What? When the phone's unlocked, just do some simple coding to tell the phone, "if the phone is unlocked, BE FREAKING DISBALED!" Am I missing something, because the problem can't really be this simple to solve, if they're delaying this tech in their phones

              just put the damn thing below the screen just like old times.. a little bit of bezel won't spoil it's looks.

                Can Apple really be successful if they try this? Samsung already tried but may take longer for them to finish this.
