I'm having the same problem. Moist fingers decrease the recognition of the finger print sensor. But I could improve the detection rate a bit. I've registered my mainly used finger twice. Once dry and once moist. Did help I think.
[Xperia Z5 General] celderic:
Mine is working suprisingly well, although i have only used my right thumb for it.

I have no trouble unlocking it with muddy wet hands on a bikeride, although i still wipe them slightly before using my phone.
[Xperia Z5 General] rajkant1984:
No hiccups ever, great scanner...
[Xperia Z5 General] coleburns:
No issues, make sure you scan all whole finger (circumfrence) as you go through the cycle, people scan the same angle over and over again
[Xperia Z5 General] millicent:
That's really a neat idea, thank you!
[Xperia Z5 General] snoopygum:
This is the key. Try as many different angles as you can when registering your finger.
[Xperia Z5 General] Hhunted:
Agree with this. Also did this when I registered my fingers. Scanner works well. One of the best out there.

I sort of like the idea of a press and scan. Would think if the scanner was active the whole time it would possibility affect battery life and keep the phone awake. Possibly a good design from Sony, especially with marshmallow coming with the doze feature.
[Xperia Z5 General] Sckank:
Mine behave quite differently. I press the power button and then it just reads my fingerprint. It get it right just about every time, so it's like pressing like it is without the finger print scanner. I'm actually very impressed.
[Xperia Z5 General] Imintanoute54:
I have the same behavior...
[Xperia Z5 General] spyvsspy:
if you have free finger slot and want extra precision, you can scan the main finger you use twice , with as many angles as you can.

i'm very impressed by this sensor :) love it!
[Xperia Z5 General] ciprianmp:
I have my Z5 for 5 days only. I registered 3 right hand fingers and one left, but I actually got only 50% success unlocking. I thought it's just a hardware limitation or something...

Then I read this thread and registeted my main finger twice, also applying the "cover as much around" (I'm one of those who thought I should be constant when registering my fingerprint).

Anyway, I wanted to thank you guys and to confirm - I get 100% reading success rate now, plus the power push+scanner unlocks 10 out of 10.

Amazing scanner!

PS: of course I have to try in different conditions too, fingers wet or greasy etc.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankm87:
Hi,

Assuming I want to get a smartphone with a wide-angle lens, is there any other top-notch phone out there worth the look, which can compete with the Z5?

And do all phones with wide angle lenses exhibit blur in the corners? Wide-angle seems tricky to get right.

Thank you.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N0whereMan:
Z5 has by far the widest angle lens of any flagship phone. The lens is in the ultra wide angle category (especially in 16:9 mode). Actually i don't know any camera phone with as wide field of view. So Z5 does not have any competition, in terms of FOV.

Yes, the soft corners are a trademark of bright ultra wide angle lens. It is a feature, not a flaw. If you hate soft corners, you better stay away from bright ultra wide angle lenses. Especially the one's with fixed aperture (like Z5).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
So I thought I had found ROM nirvana with ver 5.1.2 of mattr_k's (and then continued by the loon) ROM kitchen based on the ingenetics build. I had everything set just the way I liked it with all the programs I wanted and none I didn't, lots of free memory, good response yadda yadda yadda... I figured I was good as far as flashing until I picked up a Kaiser in a month or three.

Then I bought a Tom Tom 720 as a GPS device. It uses bluetooth to transfer data to access the TomTom Plus services that include traffic. The problem is that it requires a DUN modem connection on the bluetooth. From what I have been able to gather, this was available on WM5, taken out in an AKU pack and then re-deployed with WM6, which is why I was surprised that the ROM I was running didn't have it.

I saw that mfrazzz's ROM v3 says that DUN is back, but the lite doesn;t have what I need and the full has stuff I don't want, so even though I know that he builds awesome ROMs I kind of got used to the personalized feel of using the kitchen to get just what I want.

Does anyone know of DUN is present in ver 5.2.5 of theloon's ROM, or if there is a easy way to add DUN capabilities to my current setup? I guess I could extract mfrazzz's ROM and take out what I don;t want and add what I need, but I am traveling on business this week and don;t have a lot of spare time and need my device to be up and running.

Thanks much in advance.

UPDATE

I found this posting by Meneisyys http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2121&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 and I seem to be getting further along than before but I am not there yet, which I suspect is due to Tom Tom since it is asking me for wireless carrier data and giving me two cingular options as well as AT&T wireless.

***

Okay I think the meneisyys hack definitely worked since the 720 now says that it can use wireless data services, which it didn't before but none of the settings seem to work. It asks for a phone type and carrier. I have been trying the Qtek9100 since that is on the list and an equivalent to the 8125, but it also has a couple of MDA options as well. It gives me three carrier providers, AT&T, Cingular and Cingular media works. I have tried all three and no joy.

I also tried setting it up manually with the following settings but no love

access point: wap.cingular

username: wap@cingulargprs.com

password: cingular1

Auto DHCP

Auto DNS & Manual to 208.67.222.222 (open dns)

Dial *99# and *99****1#

login script +cgdcont=1,"ip","wap.cingular"

Any ideas on what these shoudl be or if I should be looking at the Tom Tom or the phone as the source of the problem?

Thanks!!!

Bluetooth DUN profile

Here is the perfect fix for your problem.

This is not my work I found it in this forum and credit should go to person who ever created this cab file.\

Now lets move on

install this cab and then do soft reset

now your tomtom should be able to pick-up dun connection from your PDA

now you can setup connection from your tomotom using cingular/att settings.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
villaboy - Thanks for the tip but still no love from the Tom Tom after this. I also noticed that it does not seem to want to set up bluetooth phone capability or address book import now, just wireless data so not sure if this is a step forward or backward

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] dcdivenut:
UPDATE & more questions

So I decided to give theloons 6.1 a shot and lo and behold I was able to get my TomTom 720 to play nice with my phone. Then I figured out the difference.

I always install registry wizard, make the reg changes I want, and then uninstall it. I may not be the most elegant, but it works for me. One of the tweaks I always check is, "always have GPRS connected on the 3rd tab"

This time I set up the GPS before I installed reg wizard. Once I installed Reg WIzard and enabled the tweak, the GPS stopped connecting so I started playing.

It turns out that if I have an active GPRS connection the TomTom will not connect. I always leave the GPRS connection active so I can get push mail from my work's exchange server. Does anyone know of a way that these two things can co-exist?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokaaa:
hey there,

I am currently trying to do a factory reset / wipe my data from my Sony Xperia Z3.

The screen is unresponsive and blacked out after I dropped the device, the phone itself however is still working.

windows:

I had managed to copy data from my SD card a few weeks ago on win7 - however after I updated my PC to win10, the device does not show up any more for some reason. On my girlfriends PC (running win7), the device is shown, but does not contain any file structure (no files & folders displayed). When I run "adb devices", I get the "attached is a list of devices" like response, but without my phone being shown.

OSX:

I am now trying to do the factory reset via ADB on my macbook (since I could not get it to work on win7/win10).

I have installed Android SDK including ADB. However, when I type "adb devices" in the terminal, I get the response "-bash: adb: command not found". I should get something like "attached is a list of devices" though.

I am a novice to OSX, so maybe I am doing something wrong, but I don't know what. I included a screenshot of my installation.

If someone could help me getting access to my device through ADB, that would be great.

Thanks a lot!

Only issue I've run into is camera layout is a little janky. (Camera shutter button in middle of the screen)

Obviously this is due to DPI settings and perfectly correctable with the App Setting Xposed module and setting the camera app to ~550-575.

Samsung Theme Store

This is exactly what im looking for in a ROM. Thank you. However, i have purchased a lot of themes and would like to use them. Is there any patches/mods/apks etc that you have to get the theme store back working on this ROM? Right now the app is removed and force closes settings when clicked on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] GamerOnOne:
Samsung billing apk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] J0ESK0:
Thank you. Sorry to be a pain..i tried googling it to find it but i could only find one that would not install for me. Do you happen to have it so i could install it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] J0ESK0:
So i checked it over and Samsung Billing is already in this ROM. What isnt is ThemeCenter and ThemeStore. I added those both to System/priv-app and now tje Theme Store does not crash. However, when trying to start using the store, an error pops up as follows, "The device ID is more then 20 bytes". TW SLIM v1.3 etc...so im guessing the device ID used in creating the ROM is too large. Is there a simple way to edit the device ID in build prop to make it work without issue?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] GamerOnOne:
Get root browser

Navigate to system

Edit build.prop

Just rename selection with tw slim

Save

Reboot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] J0ESK0:
After just renaming to the actual device ID of SM-G928P. I was able to use the theme store with no issues. So anyone out there also wanting to use theme store with this rom, you need both ThemeStore_3xh.apk and ThemeCenter.apk as well as to change the device ID in system/build.prop

[Nexus 5X General] Code_PLeX:

[Nexus 5X General] Travisdroidx2:
I did see that after. However, I prefer system root still at this time. But I did see where you can run some commands to make the systemless to be system root.
[Nexus 5X General] Tomyk89:
So I'm on the elementalX kernel, TWRP recovery, and rooted (stock) rom. Can i take the OTA that's prompting my phone without it overwriting any of that? I see that the OTA is only 11.4MB so I would assume that at most it would break ROOT.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 5X General] ulxerker:
I don't think its even possible to update with a custom recovery.
[Nexus 5X General] dmudd:
I have the latest TWRP recovery and I'm rooted and running ElementalX kernel. I updated yesterday successfully.

Download the factory image and extract boot.img, system.img, and vendor.img. Nothing changed in the bootloader or radio with this update, so you do not need those.

Then, run the following:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

Then reboot into TWRP and flash SuperSu again.

Then wipe cache/dalvik and reboot into system.
[Nexus 5X General] tigid:
Hey folks,

Has the OTA URL been made intentionally harder to capture? I got the OTA noon Jan 6th and immediately dumped logcat, but despite the log covering the entire morning there was no URL in there. The log seemed to reflect that the OTA has already been downloaded over WiFi previously, and the phone's UI simply gave the option to install, not to download.

Am I missing something here, or is the only way to capture now to be intercepting traffic and manually running an update check regularly in hopes you get lucky?

I feel like the Android update model is getting even worse, not better. Now not only do Google not publish the OTA links, enthusiasts have a hard time supporting the community too.
[Nexus 5X General] Tomyk89:
You rock! I'll do this when I get home.
[Nexus 5X General] dmudd:
No problem! Also, when I rebooted into system, my phone bootlooped once but didn't again after that. And you will also have to reflash the EX kernel.

Just FYI, I got all of this information from flar2 over in the EX kernel thread from this post.
[Nexus 5X General] jgummeson:
I didn't know there was a URL for the OTA and that it might show up in the logcat. Otherwise I would've checked for it. And doesn't logcat clear after each reboot? It would mean you would need to have adb ready and dump the log right after you start the download, but before the reboot which might be automatic. I know I've seen some logcat related stuff under dev options - at least for a longer buffer, not sure if you can make it persist across reboots.
[Nexus 5X General] tigid:
I had not rebooted yet, the log covered from before 2AM that morning until noon when I received the notification. Unless the download occurred over ten hours before I was notified I would have expected to see the URL in the log.
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:

never mind, secure settings is working fine after I flashed stock boot, system, cache and vendor images then flashed systemless SU v2.66. Xposed works too. Glad I made switch from /system now I don't have to wait for modified boot.img whenever a new patch is released :)

you don't have to erase. Just flash system, vendor, boot and cache images from factory image extract in TWRP then flash systemless SU. your userdata is all intact, nothing gets erased. takes no more than 5 minutes to do it.

[Nexus 5X General] Arun Av:
For those who didn't get january ota, perform the following to get OTA notification:

1. Turn off mobile data or wifi

2. Clear data of these following system apps: "Google Play Services" and "Google Services Framework

3. Location services should popup asking to grant GPS access(device only -mode) select " yes", you can change it to battery saving later

4. Turn on mobile data/wifi and power off the device immediately

5. Turn it on again and the OTA message should be there once you visit System Updates section. If not, make sure you set location mode to "battery saving" and then check again.
[Nexus 5X General] dmudd:

Do not do this, it causes more harm than good to your phone.
[Nexus 5X General] Arun Av:
Select "Show System apps" from the three dot menu when you are in Apps, then procedure. :)

Sorry, but what harm if you can elaborate? Contacts, data, sms and even google login details/preferences are not harmed in anyway through this. It only clears the data of the google play services app+framework which is used to "verify 3rd party apps" and manages location access features. Those can easily be enabled on next reboot. No harm here my friend :angel:
