Nope, my personal phone.

Ever since the 6.0 update, I haven't found a combination of settings that just lets my phone lock when the screen goes dark, and then let's me easily unlock it with my thumbprint.
This used to work fine. It seems like my only option is NO security, though, because now when I tell it to use "fingerprint", it still asks for a pin almost 90% of the time because of "security policy"...and not because it can't read my print, it does it no matter what. Because I can't be expected to type in a pin any time I'm in my car and need to unlock the screen, I'm left unprotected without downloading some third party utility.
What am I missing? This can't be how it's supposed to work, right?
I bought it because the M8 is dog slow now (thanks HTC),
. I'm all for security but typing that code in every single time I wanted to unlock the phone was driving me mad.
What's the general position on Huawei, mainly on the new P9?
The only experiance I have with them was my wife's first smartphone 4 years ago, which was pretty crap, my mothers newer cheap one which was even more crap!
I've seen a couple of their new models, the 'better' ones, they look nice, so was wondering did they improve or what. Don't they make the current nexus?

My Z3c is in service for the 4th time and I'm considering to replace it, and the P9 is really tempting for me. I played a bit with it in a store and I really like it: looks and feels premium, really fast fingerprint sensor, camera is interesting with the separate B&W sensor and with nice manual controls.
What was wrong with your Z?
A colleague had her screen start to peel off and the usb slot cover doesn't hold, the rubber peeled off. Mine is still *knocks on wood* fine on all accounts, and It's the first time I don't have any problems with a phone and am satisfied.
I just sent my Z3 Compact for the 4th time for a warranty claim in the last six months, the phone is one year old now:
- first time screen started to detach on the top side, screen replaced with a new one
- second time, just after the first repair as the new screen was not positioned correctly(the notifications led was only partially visible)
- third time, same as first time
- the ear speaker suddenly became barely audible at max volume(tried factory reset and stuff, seems like a hardware issue)
I got a LG G4 now, and i'm happy with it... so used to doubletapping the screen instead of using a button to wake it up now, i keep doubletappign the screen on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 to try unlocking it XD
