Not only you the scanner is very fast and accurate most of the time.
[Xperia Z5 General] Lambo16:
Not for me.
[Xperia Z5 General] gm007:
Try to register 2-3 fingerprints for the same finger.
[Xperia Z5 General] Lambo16:
I have and it still doesn't help. And I shouldn't have to do that.
[Xperia Z5 General] ricodredd:
Just recording a single finger at many different angles works fine for me, i.e. each read session records about 10 prints so just move and change finger angle for each scan.

Same here mine is fine

Very odd decision and a shame for Sony...

This way they will never sell in US
[Xperia Z5 General] chrisully:
Seems a silly move by Sony android pay is up and running In the US is just another reason not to buy Sony. Sony seem to not see the US market as profitable region

I have fingerprint scanner in my job, and i dont have problem either in them, some coworkers have problem with them. maybe a few people are not very "compatible" with fingerprint scanners
[Xperia Z5 General] MGSBigBoss:
Well if they sacrificed the finger print scanner to cut costs and increase band support and maybe include cdma radio to actually work with all providers in the USA I'd understand.

But if this is literally the same unlocked z5 we've been seeing than sony will lose again. They have z3v owners wanting to upgrade and they can't capitalize with the z4v not being released and now they can't get the z5 to work with their provider
[Xperia Z5 General] Jaocagomez:
the mexican version of the z5 and z5 has fingerprint scanner, but i dont know if its unlocked, i would have to make some calls and check if it works on att and tmobile.
[Xperia Z5 General] yuan_1202:
Think that will be a pretty stupid move for sony...
[Xperia Z5 General] McQueen:
You remember the water resistant notice for the Z5 series that Sony sent some time before the launch? Most people agreed that the fingerprint sensor and button had the issue, so they added "Phone can be water damaged if USED under water"

I think its bollocks and US versions will be identical like any other Z5 series around the world.
[Xperia Z5 General] 4Strings:
This is totally F-ed up! What the hell is wrong with Sony? I have a Z5, purchased it unlocked at full price from a seller on Amazon (I'm on AT&T), and, can't think of a single good reason why they would remove the sensor... Coming from an HTC M7, other then the far superior camera and the expandable storage, the fingerprint sensor (in particular its location on the phone) was one of the main selling points for me...
[Xperia Z5 General] munkiii:
I have never had a problem with the fingerprint sensor. It works 99% of the time for me. The only time it fails is if my fingers are any sort of wet.
[Xperia Z5 General] mobile pundits:
For a growing and quite vocal phase of smartphone users, hardware that gives a fingerprint scanner is somewhat of a necessity. the necessity to stay each our phones and therefore the information on them safe is as vital as ever, and particularly as a lot of and a lot of people address our phones to form mobile payments, robust authentication is either one thing we have a tendency to hunt down or service suppliers outright demand we have a tendency to use. With a lot of and a lot of flagship devices providing integrated hardware fingerprint scanners, cumbersome PINs and pattern unlocks have fallen out of fashion, and therefore the discerning shopper demands a quick, reliable fingerprint scanner. these days we discover ourselves simply alittle saddened as we have a tendency to hear that once Sony begins US sales of the Xperia Z5 next month, it'll be mercantilism the phone while not its side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Yesterday Sony confirmed plans to finally bring each the Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Compact to the US, mercantilism the handsets unbarred through a series of retail partners starting Gregorian calendar month seven.

You wouldn’t be wrong for assumptive this was a reasonably commonplace GSM version of the phone, a bit like the international community has been victimisation for months, however it seems there'll be a minimum of one key distinction, as Sony removes the power-button-integrated fingerprint scanners from each models.

Sony has not formally aforesaid simply why it’s creating the amendment, however speculation has pointed to discontentedness over the scanner’s performance. Is associate annoying-to-use fingerprint scanner worse than none at all? We’re not therefore certain, however Xperia Z5 shoppers within the US apparently won’t got to worry this question at all; Sony’s already created up their minds for them.
[Xperia Z5 General] danw_oz:
I think it's pretty obvious whats going on here. The Sony fingerprint sensor is very good, Sony didn't want to give the backdoor to the US government, so the easiest thing so Sony could still sell the device in USA is remove the sensor, my guess is it is still there, just disabled in the kernel.

[MENTION=6014078]mobile pundits[/MENTION], do you really believe Sony make this decision on their own? USA have to be dictating, because it makes zero sense for Sony to release the phone for the world then have additional costs to remove the sensors ability just for the USA market

As you say, Chainfire has done a really good job of automating root. Boot into TWRP, flash SuperSU 2.66, done.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dobbler:
Hi,

I have an old XDA IIs that I don't use as my phone anymore. I just want to use it in the house on the wi-fi for net, skype and pda stuff.

What I'm wondering is, if I don't have to worry about the carrier (O2) because I'm not using it as a phone, then can I hack it a bit and improve the OS or is there something that you would recommend I do with it to maximize it's potential for non-phone use?

I guess if there is, then I have a few questions!

1. Would an alternative OS "find" all the features of the hardware? ie. camera/record/contacts/calendar etc. buttons and the keyboard?

2. Would it be worthwhile to install WM6? Would it be able to handle it? Is it possible?

I guess I'd just like to get the most out of it as it's a great device that could be put to good use instead of gathering dust in a drawer.

Many thanks for any replies in advance.

Cheers,

Rob.

I've tried installing Windows Mobile 6 but I get this:

ERROR 100: MODEL ID ERROR

The ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work on your device. Please check the vendor website and download the correct ROM update.

Is there a way around this? Anyone experience this?

Should I just keep it at that, can I expect any better from an alternative/updated OS?

Thanks again,

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
module id errror is typicaly if one try to install wm6 from another device then the one you own

"Should I just keep it at that, can I expect any better from an alternative/updated OS?"

there are only such a thing called alternative blue angel (the htc name of xdaIIs) os's no other will work

not sure what you mean by better i sugest you read the XDA-wiki and the blue angel wm6 forums for what people exp with these later roms

in terms of issues of incompatiblity and stablity

asking in those blue angel forums will also be a surden way of getting people who own the same device as you do to reply

[HTC Desire 510] lonypny:
As described in the thread title, Is it possible do to so?

The new EU HTC Desire 626 comes with Android 5.1 and features the same snapdragon chip and the same wifi/bt/camera driver stack.

There is a custom rom with Android 5.1 from September 2015, fully working for Desire
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
It's not possible to just flash the 626 rom on the 510 unless you want to have bootloops? You'd need to make modifications and port it.
[HTC Desire 510] kevios12:
You musst be port some kernel settings
[HTC Desire 510] lonypny:
I've recompiled a kernel for linux many times but never for an android phone. wouldn't it be as easy as replacing the kernel .config file for 626 with the one from 510??
[HTC Desire 510] kevios12:
lony test it yourself :)
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
Nope.. it's much harder than just a basic Linux kernel compilation... You'd need to download over 27GB worth of CyanogenMod sources to a Linux/Unix machine to even begin working with the kernels or roms. You may be able to shorten that by a few GBs but it's still not as easy as grabbing another boot from another device. It's also a boot.img not a .conf..
[HTC Desire 510] szaj:
It will be fantastic to see it on our desire 510
[HTC Desire 510] Zubagy:
I guess its gonna be harder. Have to wait for the Mash (Cyanogenmod 13) that is if it will work too.
[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
It can be hard or it can be easy... It all really just depends on the person that's doing the work and how much they know about it. It's definitely not as easy as grabbing another boot from another device because you would have to go through the entire kernel/boot.img to change all of the settings to be able to work with a different device. You'd have to extract the info from the boot.img in order to get to all the configuration files and even then it doesn't mean that when you go to rebuild it back into a boot.img again that it's gonna work.. It might and it might not, it really depends on what you know.

I've been looking at trying to install Tizen onto my galaxy gear 1 (SM-v7000).

I wasn't sure what the previous firmware version is so I can't tell if the flash worked or not because the menu is exactly the same as previously. I'm looking at other threads where they say I need to upgrade to tizen through Kies first. I plugged it in and it told me that there were no firmware updates available. In other threads they talked about first flasing ne9 then something like md5 and then NF1 or something but I can't seem to find anywhere to download such files. Could someone please help me with finding an extensive guide (with links to file downloads) as I'm not making any progress.

i want to unlock the sim of my phone, details are as below....ninadmonpara@gmail.com

AU ISAI LG V31 (JAPAN) android smartphone..

Hardware and software info are as below

MODEL NO: LGV31

HARDWARE VER: REV.1.1

IMEI NO: 354470061761208

ANDROID VER: 4.4.2

BASEBAND VER: MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c1.13-00044-M8974AAAAANPZM-2

KERNEL VER: 3.4.0

BUILD NO: KVT49L.LGV3110f

SOFTWARE VER: LGV3110f..

my relative from japan has purchased lg g2 previously which was sim locked. so he bought a unlock code for couple of dollars and unlocked it.

.

to do that, you need to find a hidden menu in which u will be able to insetr the unlocking codes(may be by pressing #* and*number combinations)

.

*but in. au isai lg v31. we can not find that hidden menu in which he code is to be fed. i have searched and came to know*that hey have remove that part in an firmware update.

.

so one solution is that we downgrade the firmware and buy code and insert it. or we root it. (i dont know, whether rooting solve problem or not and i also havent found perfect solution to do that)

.

*or we might check on internet that which is the latest update available for au isai lg v31 and check is there that hidden*menu present in that firmware or not
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbart098:
Calling out for help!

I have this model and it happened the same. On firmware versions below LGV3110f the network is unlocked and you can access the hidden menu. When trying to go through the unlocking process com.lge.hiddenpersomenu all 5 options show "Your phone is not personalized." I've read in many threads that this means the network is unlocked, however I still see the "Phone is SIM Network Subset locked" message when I put my SIM card (Optus in Australia). So this means that the lock is done by software. I am currently running LGV3120h firmware with Android 5.0.2.

Does anyone know if there is a compatible CyanogenMod build we could use? I am trying to flash the d855 international version and see if I'm lucky.

Any help would be appreciated!!
