Xperia Z5 bypass screen lock when fingerprint doesn't match.



So, I've just got my Xperia Z5 yesterday and today I was configuring the fingerprint reader.
After I've finished it I've tried to unlock the phone using the fingerprint and everything works great!
The thing is, when I use any non registered finger it fails to unlock, as it's supposed to do, but, after it fails if I just slide up the lockscreen, the phone unlocks normally.
Is this the expected behavior? I mean, I thought it was supposed to ask for the security pin if the fingerprint didn't get recognized.

Thanks for your help.

WiFi Hotspot Entitlement Bypass (Help Please)



My Nexus 5X arrived yesterday. I'm still waiting for a USB Type A to C cable to arrive before I can root.

I tried the Hotspot feature, and it gave me an alert that indicated a "Verizon Subscription is required."

I have an older "Unlimited Data" plan.

I have been using the Moto X (2013) Developer phone. With Root access, I was able to install a simple apk (EntitlementBypass-v1.2.apk) that activated a bypass feature.

I have also found some info on the AT&T Nexus 6 to do it this way:
How can I disable the account check when tethering?

Every US Nexus 6 XT1103 with an AT&T or Verizon SIM in it, regardless of where it was purchased, will check your account's subscription status before enabling tethering. This isn't unique to the AT&T model and therefore, I don't really consider it a part of making an AT&T Nexus 6 function like every other variant.

The check is hardcoded into AOSP, but you can disable it (assuming you're rooted) by adding a line to your /system/build.prop file that reads "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" and rebooting.
The source for the APK indicated a similar function within it. I'm not sure of the best path to follow. I know enough to be dangerous.

Might anyone have some useful suggestions?
