Hello I wanted to know if its common this issue for galaxy s5 users... I updated my phone to android 5 lollipop and my fingerprint scanner is no longer working.... it says "an error occur with fingerprint sensor, if this message appears, restart your device"

I need some help. my S5 is the SM-G900F
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysAndroid:
Actually the same problem happened to me. After I updated to Lollipop my fingerprint scanner stopped working and giving me the same message.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidpro94:
Hey even I have the same problem. I hard resetted the phone and cleared cache and the same error message pops up. Right now I'm really frustrated. Why don't you guys try to clear the fingerprints cache in the application manager and see weather it works.

I hope it isn't a hardware problem with my device.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thekjp95:
You may need to update the bootloader through odin

Same issue.

I have the same issue. I have "officially" updated to Lollipop 5.0 via KIES in Malaysia about 1.5 weeks ago. Next day the succes rate of the fingerprint drastically decreased and on the 2nd day fully stopped working withe the same error. I have restarted many times but the issue persisted. I could not go in the fingerprint settings. I have cleared the data of the fingerprint t app in the application manager. Then I was able to go to the fingerprint settings. I removed the old fingerprints and started to add those again. It was working fine e with the first finger. It asked me for backup password, so I added, asked to confirm the password, so I confirmed. Then I pushed the ok button and got the same error again: "An error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor. If this message appears repeatedly restart your device.". Since that clearing app data in application manager cannot help. I have already performed a factory reset and still have the issue. I have not experienced it on 4.4 Kitkat while I was using my phone for a month after i had bought. It cannot be a hardware issue. Please advice if and how it can be solved officially at home I would rather skip having my phone at being repaired by Samsung fir even weeks, but I need the fingerprint scanner working, I really like that feature. Is it a widespread common issue? Anyway I could see same error was reported on the internet last April as well so it is not a Lollipop specific issue. Any expected bugfixes?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidpro94:
Hey there! I'm so happy that I'm not the not one with this issue. Even I have performed a factory reset and even downgraded to 4.4 kit kat but still the problem is there.

Doesn't it inehere loosing of the warranty? I am familiar with android, I was using custom roms and rooted phones in the not far past too, but I would still prefer not to jeopardize the Samsung warranty as we have that for f.e. such situation.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidpro94:
Hey have you tried dialling *#0*# in the dialler and trying to test the finger scanner from there. When I do that no result shows up. Not sure what's causing the problem.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L4C33:
I am not sure what should have bern seen there, though both the "NormalScan" and "SensorInfo" at the "FingerPrint test" shows me title "FingerPrint test" and below that "Ready", but nothing happens. Any idea?

Having the same problem but I know why. The guy I bought it from flashed the ****ing **** out of it and nothing really works anymore.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidpro94:
When it says ready you should swipe your finger down - if something shows up that tell you that your finger scanner is working.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L4C33:
Unfortunately, nothing happens for me. I have tried swiping many times without any success. :(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidpro94:
Hey there! Even if I swipe no result shows up and nothing happens. I'm starting to suspect that it is a hardware issue. We should send our phones to Samsung for repair:(:(
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysAndroid:
After updating to lollipop my fingerprint sensor stopped working and at first I was looking for solution and quite unhappy. But now I got used to it and to be honest I would never use it again. It was slow, often inaccurate and concept of swiping wasn't good for me. Now I use Smart lock within Lollipop and it works like a charm.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rarnold98:
mine did the same thing

mine stopped working a week ago and i was on 4.4.2 at the time i then updated to lolipop and it dident solve it but i got it working but restarting seval time but it only worked for a few minents before it stopped again it much better on loliopop and faster and accuate . ive sent mine off to samsung for repair on the warrenanty for free yesterday so ill let you know if i found out how they fix. you have 2 years warrenty on the phone so you will be able to get it fixed for free but it means you wont have a phone for up to 2 weeks but it worth it considering its costs £529 from samsung and if you go to sell it you wont be able to sell it for as much becasue it slighly faulty and thats one of the main diffenceses that most other phonesdont have :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rarnold98:
it hardware

they fixed it by replacing the home button where the finger print scanner is
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidpro94:
Wow. So it is a hardware problem. I advice you to not put your phone in water now.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L4C33:
I gave up waiting for bugfixes, so without any alternatives I passed my S5 to Samsung yesterday to get it repaired under warranty. I hope they will be quick.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidpro94:
Oh cool! Let's hope for the best.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rarnold98:

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
Hi guys!

Today i was trying to make my tablet NextBook EBM8000ND (Next800T) boot faster by adding these lines into the build.prop file:

ro.config.hw_quickpoweron=true

debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

which caused it to end up not booting at all. Hehe. It repeats the boot animation but never boots. Is there any way to replace the modified build.prop file with the original one of which I saved a copy?

I also downloaded the original ROM of my device which contains the following files:

boot.img

recovery.img

recovery.log

system.ubifs.tar

nandroid.md5

Is there any way I can make use of them? Maybe make a custom update.zip?

PS. I wasn't sure where I should ask this question since it's my first time here.

Cheers!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrionBG:
Hey all,

I have a strange BUG with my Nexus 6. When someone calls me, in 70% of the times his/hers contact photo does not appear! only the default one (like the contact doesn't have a photo) Some times this happens even while I'm calling someone....

I'm on Stock Rooted 5.0.1 rom without any modifications.... (this was happening even before I rooted it)

Ideas?

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carsantor89:
Hello, it may sound a stupid question but I received my "32 gb LTE" version and it only has 11.61 gb avaliable.

Is it the 16 gb or the 32 gb version? how can I know that.

Thank you¡¡
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oleg77:
SIM card slot ?

Just see if you have a SIM card slot on your device. My EU LTE device has a lot more free space than you have. Or install ES explorer and see the SD free space it shows : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en_US

Maybe you 11,6GB free to install apps, and more for your files...
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carsantor89:
Every model has sim card slot, I red that on the internet so that won't help.

On that app it shows the same that android says... 11.61 gb in total ( 5 used, 6 free).

The box of the nvidia shows its the 32gb LTE version but honestly I think it must be the 16 Wifi version

I cant check with sim if it connects to the internet but come on... its 11 gb, its the 16 gb version IMO.

Thanks btw for your help
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carsantor89:
Just fixed it, did a factory settings reset and now it shows like 26 gb :D...

So it is the 32 gb version
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xabierd:
did you use CWM? it also happened to me once
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayvus:
All the Shields may have a SIM slot, but the WiFi Shields do NOT have a SIM slot cover that will open at all. There isn't an indent in the cover to pull at it with your finger nail. It's completely flat with just a small space between the case and the slot that's thinner than a piece of paper.

Hey I just discovered this thread ;) and I gotta say that I didn't expected to see many users that want this ROM so be sure that when I will have more free time I will prepare a build also for you guys, but I'm telling you from now that the build will be based on KK and not on Lollipop because I need more time and test all the Xperia Apps already ported to see If they are working correctly also on Lollipop.

So your choice ;)

Hello

Someone else managed to port CWM (Cofface recovery) for Vivo Xshot a few month ago but it is in chinese. It's kind of annoying to use a tool in chinese so I decided to try to port CWM in english. I somehow managed to do it after a lot of reading and research around here but it still has some problems and I need your help.

I commited the code to github: github.com/mishyf/device_bbk_x710l

If some of you have time, maybe you can help me finish this port.

There are a few bugs:

1) recovery.img does not boot (strage because if I create the zip file and install it, cwm is loading).

2) update.zip works but has a very small resolution.

There is an attached picture in order to better understand the problem:

3) after reboot cwm is replaced by the recovery running before cwm flash.
[Android] Kanth's:
are there any roms for this phone ???
[Android] mishyf:
There is a MIUI rom ported for Xshot but it is not for the Ultimate version. I tried it on my Ultimate version but the launcher crashes after lockscreen. It seems that it works only for Elite version.

[Xposed Framework Modules] moneytoo:
Change the minimum brightness level from usual 10 to 1. It doesn't modify the autobrightness level map so automatic brightness won't be lowered (though it can be easily adjusted on CM11).

This is so far exactly the same as GravityBox offers (modifying 'config_screenBrightnessSettingMinimum').

But Minimum Brightness offers one unique feature - it also modifies the lower brightness levels in MX Player (free/paid). Because no matter whatever you use manual or auto brightness, MX Player always uses minimum brightness of 0.05 (12/255, 19/255, 27/255, 36/255...). To actually lower the brightness, you would have to turn off brightness control in MX Player or use one of many 'overlay filter brightness app'.

So Minimum Brightness module retains the same quadratic function for brightness levels but includes lower values (1/255, 4/255, 9/255, 16/255, 25/255...).

Minimum Brightness uses value 1/255 which might not be suitable for every display (meaning LCD) but it suits perfectly my Super AMOLED screens (Galaxy S5 / Galaxy Tab S 8.4) and watching videos at night is still enjoyable.

There are many excellent auto brightness apps (Lux, Darker etc) that can use overlay filters to lower brightness even more so it's up to everyone to try and decide.

This module has been merged into new module http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-xposed-tweaks-cm-t3279109. Please check that module for any future updates.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Xspeed:
The situation is the same on my Xperia SP. When I set the brightness to miniumum the screen is totally black, also when the backlight decreases after 10 seconds screen gets black.
[Xposed Framework Modules] bbmadzky:
Hi! Tried min brightness but when screen is set to the lowest level, I get a white screen after locking the phone.
[Xposed Framework Modules] al.ya:
Really great tweak!! I'm noobie in Android enviroment with my new Elephone P3000S and the lowest screen brightness is to high for me so your tweak is very usefull.

I also have the issue that the lowest brightness level sets the screen completly black and I have been scared for 1 hour truing to solve a completely black, touching all buttons but the phone didn't "wake up". Finally, pressing power buttom + volumen up + home soft key it has worked :angel:

So it would be very important to prevent black screen by allowing the user to set the minimun level.

Thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Dri0m:
Hey, I know making GUI is a pain in the ass :D so can you please make alternative version with minimum brightness set to 2? That will satisfy most of people complaining here. Your app is currently the only dimmer working on lollipop.

[Xposed Framework Modules] Papalazzzaru:
How to disable this module...?

I installed this module last night, enabled it in Xposed Framework, but did nothing with it. Then this afternoon I opened the Settings menu, went to Display, and before I could do anything else I received a phone call. As I terminated the call, the screen flashed, the phone rebooted--and after restarting it is completely, or almost completely blank. If I repeatedly tap the power button I get a fraction-of-a-second glimpse of the SIM PIN screen at normal brightness. This leads me to the suspicion that, by some weird combination of bad luck and an accidental touch of a finger after terminating the phone call, that the Minimum Brightness somehow got set--although why the phone then rebooted I don't know.

Anyway, by luck and good judgement I finally managed to enter the correct SIM PIN and then the phone unlock PIN. However, I can do nothing else. The screen is still blank, and as the phone is currently unlocked I don't want to touch the power button. Before sending the phone back to the manufacturer or anything drastic like that, I would like to try disabling the Xposed Framework. Whilst trying to find something useful in Windows Explorer I found Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip in the Internal storage\Android\data\de.robv.android.xposed.installer\files folder on my phone. I assume that this should be what I need. However, as I cannot see anything on the screen I would need to know the exact buttons to press, in which order and how many times etc, in order to enter the Recovery menu and do what is needed. According to the phone manufacturer the OS is unmodified Android 4.4.2., although strangely they will not even tell me which keys to press to enter the Recovery menu (long story, the upshot is, they flat out refuse to help apart from suggesting returning the phone).

Note that I only suspect it is the Minimum Brightness module that is causing the problem, however the problem did not exist before yesterday (when I installed the module), and as I was about to do something with the brightness when the phone rebooted itself, it seems too much of a coincidence to be anything else. If I cannot disable the module/framework, the only other thing I can think of is a factory reset--but again I would need to know exactly which buttons to press, in which order etc. Unfortunately at the moment USB debugging is not enabled, and again without the screen I cannot access it to turn it on.

Any help or suggestions hugely appreciated.

Xposed now sports a safemode which allows you to disable Xposed during bootloops. To disable Xposed, you'll have to repeatedly tap one of the hardware buttons (Power, Volume, or Home) on your device during startup.

During boot, your device will vibrate twice when it detects the first key press. You'll then have five seconds to press that same button four more times, with each keystroke producing a short single vibration. After ending with a long vibration, your device will disable and prevent most of Xposed's actions, allowing you to easily troubleshoot problematic modules.
