Hi, i'm having problems disabling my fingerprint scanner whenever i'm connected to my home network..

I created new profile > state > net > wifi connected, then I entered my SSID and blah blah, that part works, but when I enter fingerprint lock as entry task (secure settings > custom rom actions > samsung fingerprint lock > disable) it does not work. Can anyone help me ?? :)
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] GrippingSphere:
Yes this custom rom action "Samsung Fimgerprint Scanner ON & OFF" doesn't work anymore in MM but working fine in LL and KK. I think at the moment, there's no solution yet.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] somersby:
Shame..hope they'll fix it soon
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Chrissssssss:
I've been trying to use this today too. Shame it's not working in 6.01. Is there likely to be a fix for it?

You can use the Admin/Password/Disabled to remove the finger lock but can't enable it again.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Chrissssssss:
What I've done for now is create a shortcut on my home screen which opens the settings menu the presses the dpad to go to the fingerprint menu (quick settings at top) and switch on fingerprint lock. Not a great way to do it but it works.

Then use the Admin thingy in tasker to switch it off when I want.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Follow_and_Feel:
Unfortunately it's pretty unlikely that there ever will be a fix for it, as the developer stopped working on secure settings in early 2015.

Recently there haven't been any updates, nor rumors that he will continue.

It's a little miracle that most of the options are working on Marshmallow.

I'm sorry I have to disappoint you :(
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] GrippingSphere:
You can disable Samsung Fingerprint lock when on home WiFi by using Xposed module "No Lock Home".

Disabling it thru Secure Settings plugin is unlikely to be implemented as mentioned in the previous post.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] somersby:
Yes but when I try and install Xposed for my samsung s6 it gets stuck in bootloop so I have to uninstall it?

I ended spending a fair amount of time chasing down a working root method, in the interest of saving time for anyone else who is looking I wanted to post the steps I took.

1.) Settings > Factory Settings > Enter Password: *#hct#root#

2.) Install Kingo Root: https://root-apk.kingoapp.com/kingoroot-download.htm

3.) Install SuperSU

3.) Install SuperSU Me: https://sites.google.com/site/androidxdacom/file/supersu-me-v6.7.apk?attredirects=0

Device will reboot, you'll want to update the SSU binary, and you'll be good to go.

I have the double din 7 inch in my wrx, finding a proper trim kit that fit around the unit for me was tricky.. as they are a few mm bigger side to side and up an down that standard double dins. But was able to finally find one that was seamless for the wrx. Personally love mine. The pioneers and alpine are getting better but still think my joying is superior.. that's just my opinions.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] doitright:
I've got an MTCD in the mail and am trying to figure out the best way to take control over it.

That part about "kingo root" is scary as all hell. Who knows what its doing! And despite replacing it later on with "supersu" (which is not much less frightening, since it too is closed source), that is no guarantee that you are removing all remnants of it.

I suggest that this is not a good process to follow.

From what I understand, the recovery on these devices does NOT enforce signed updates. That means that the proper way to install something like this, is to inject it directly into an update. Just skip the exploit step altogether.

/////CANCEL QUESTION: One question I have though; what does the factory settings password actually do?//////

Answer: This turns on root. The silly things comes WITH ROOT ALREADY AVAILABLE!

Its actually better to NOT install any kind of root (kingoroot or supersu), since its already there, just blocked from the android side. This is more secure than leaving the device open to potential exploit, and gives you an avenue to go in and mess with things.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Need4Camaro:

I am attempting this method and followed your instructions. I got a message that said adb root and I installed king root and my device rebooted. Super SU says my device is not rooted and Super-Sume gets stuck at "Preparing environment please wait..."

[MTCD Android Head Units General] gee.dunkin:
Hi guys, I was able to fix my HU which was completely munted by following this thread.

https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...lopment/rom-malaysk-roms-mtcd-device-t3385309

I used the SD tool to create a boot card, then got the error which is shown in the thread then followed the next page which tells you to use the SD card and a USB thumb drive with the update file on it.

When the error shows up you eject the SD card and the system goes to recovery. Use the install from USB and clear all function and it does its thing.

The joying screen showed up for some time (about 5-10mins) but after booted to system and I'm in business again.

Don't follow my instructions here this is just a brief explanation of what I did, use the link above and try all steps and follow carefully.

Attached photo of the error screen I had in recovery FYI.

Please note this was after I used root method of factory settings code, king root and super su and I did have root access/ the binaries updated etc etc, so don't be scared to try as you can recover your system.

Also the firmware I used was the latest 5.1.1 from Joying website.

My unit is: RK3188 (800*480) MTCD which shipped in December 2016 with android 5.1.1.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Out of the dozens of people I know with this device not a single one has ever had to have it replaced. If you are going threw that much then you either have a faulty device USB port or you are being to ruff with it. Which is very common really. People just jerk the cable out which causes damage. Also make sure to official cables. knock offs are not made that great.

If the port on your charger has become loose (in other words, your cable fits snugly on other phones, but not on your N6), you may be able to get ATT to fix it.

Are scratches apparent on the camera "glass" itself?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peterov:
yes
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Then its likely this pretty common issue: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/general/how-to-fix-htc-one-m8-camera-issue-t2803825

The problem is a coating (probably anti-glare) on the camera glass is scratching/peeling/delaminating. It will get worse and worse. Most folks have removed the coating with isopropyl alcohol or other means described in the thread linked above. This solves the problem, although you may get some minor scratches on the glass itself in the long term; which has happened to me, but those scratches don't seem to show up on photos (at least not anything like the scratched coating).

Some folks have also returned their phones to HTC (if still under warranty) for repair. But in those cases, its not really clear whether it fixes the issue with the coating long term; or if it will just reoccur.

I've been looking for a guide on how I can root my device - I have a Samsung S6 on the network Three. It's running andorid 6.0.1 and Baseband version G920FXXU3DPCA.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProtoDeVNan0:
Is it G920F? If it is, just flash spacex recovery through odin. And then install any custom rom.

"Small" Guide:

1. Download Odin 3.10.7

2. Download SpaceX TWRP recovery from XDA.

3. Boot into Download mode (press and hold vol down and home and power at the same time until You'll see blue/cyan screen)

4. Plug Your phone into a computer (make sure that You use USB 2.0 since 3.0 sometimes will give You problems)

5. Now take that .tar.md5 file and put it into AP.

6. Flash it.

7. Reboot to TWRP (hold vol up and home and power)

8. Flash any other rom You want.

PS: wrong section.

Just buy the US unlocked version. There's a $100 code so it's cheaper than the Verizon version, it'll have better ROM support and it has more LTE bands than the Verizon variant.

The only downside is that we'll have to wait for devs to integrate IMS and the other components for Advanced Calling to work properly but it definitely can be done. Xdabbeb used to integrate all the needed components into his G3/G2 hybrid ROM that had an international base.

I've tried putting it into fastboot but the ADB thing will not recognize the phone to reboot, and i'm starting to think i've broken it :(

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duydangle:
Hello everyone,

I'm facing a problem (or may be i have ocd) but I see that black texts on white background on note 4 is not even black. Actually it's more black on the left and some kind of gray on the right of the screen. But not completely like that. Some center block of the screen also have the gray texts. And somehow some character has the gray top and bottom and center black. It's very weird to me. I think I will borrow a camera to capture the screen and post here tomorrow.

I came to the Samsung warranty center this after and they say my screen is perfectly normal although I can see the unevenness by using web browser and especially kindle. I use kindle a lot and didn't spot the problem because mostly I use low brightness and black theme. They tested r/g/b/w/black using *#1*# and I don't see the problem here. I also borrow another note 4 and a s7e and also see the problem but not bad as my phone.

Is this by design?I used many lcd-product (iphone, ipad) and never met this problem.

I found my issue. It's because the screen gets dirt and my finger print and effect the text quality. I haven't even think that text quality can be affected by such minor things.
