Hi all

I have a strange problem in that my device started constantly rebooting with a Vodafone ROM that I have been using for the last 2 years. I left it alone for a couple of days I was then able to get it to stay on long enough for a hard reset which just made the device hang at the splash screen.

I read about this problem here and reflashed with a WM6 ROM via the bootloader method all was well for about 3hrs, great I thought feeling really pleased with my efforts.

It wasn't to last as the device has started rebooting again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My question is would this problem be hardware or software related. Would upgrading the bootloader make any difference it currently has V1 and how do I know if the device is a G3 or G4?

Thanks for your time.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mousie96:
Please help. I reset my google account password before a factory reset of my Nexus. It has been saying that I need to wait 24hrs for over a week now.

I have tried the dirty cow method but this doesn't work anymore. I can install google account manager 7.1 over 7.1.1 but can't uninstall it without resting the apk before the factory version. I need to be able to remove this so I can revert to version 6 so the bypass will work.

Does anyone know a solution or another method?

Could you figure it out?

I have one as well with the January 5 Patch locked with google account bought it on ebay and it was locked...

im going crazy man
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvaretto:
Maybe... try going to https://myaccount.google.com/ and look for "Notifications and activity in your devices", select the device and remove it from your account.

Update: everything works with SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip

I have a Galaxy S7 - GM-930F bought in Brazil, previously rooted without any trouble and today I flashed an Android 7.0 Firmware of Galaxy S7 download from SamFirmware.

More specifically, I downloaded G930FXXU1DPLT_G930FOXA1DPLT_BTU - and flashed the file AP_G930FXXU1DPLT_CL10273029_QB12087645_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5

Flashing was successful and everything worked as expected.

After using the phone and rebooting a few times ( just to check if everything is really all right), I flashed twrp-3.0.2-4-herolte.img.tar, also downloaded from the official website.

Everything still worked as expected.

Later I used TWRP to install SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip, of course downloaded from your official website.

Root worked but the camera stopped working. The flashlight stopped working as well.

After re flashing the android firmware the camera started working again and after re flashing TWRP the camera kept working.

So it's SuperSU-v2.79-201612051815.zip who breaks the camera.

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] donalgodon:
Is there any way to use the fingerprint scanner to wake the screen without having to enter a PIN?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] namanjr:
Yes, it's like that by default. Just put your finger on the scanner and it will unlock while waking from sleep.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] titillo62:
If you switch off the screen with screen lock app, then you have to put pin

Enviado desde mi MHA-L29 mediante Tapatalk
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] donalgodon:
I'd like to use the screen without lock or pin and just to wake it up when I touch the fingerprint scanner without having to enter a PIN. Is that possible?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RR-99:
That's the default setting.

You shouldn't need the PIN if the screen has simply timed out.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] donalgodon:
How do I set it up so that I don't need to enter a PIN every time I wake the screen?

As it is, when I enter/enroll my fingerprint, I have to assign a PIN as well. Then, every time I wake the screen, it also asks me for a PIN.

I'd like to be able to pick up the phone in the morning, touch the fingerprint sensor and unlock the phone without having to also enter a PIN.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] 5[Strogino]:
It looks like there is timeout. If you just turn off and then use fingerprint, so phone will ask pin. But if phone went to sleep, you do not have to use pin, just finger.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Governa:
My device only asks for the PIN after a reboot, otherwise the fingerprint will suffice.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RR-99:
Just like mine.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] nighthawk626:
Yeaaaaaaaaah wtf? Did you set your phone to automatically power off and power on on a certain schedule? Because literally every Android phone that uses fingerprint unlock only requires pin or pass if phone was rebooted and only that once until you reboot again
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] donalgodon:
Not exactly. The default doesn't include a fingerprint-wake option. I'm asking if it's possible to use the fingerprint sensor to wake the device without having to enter a pin.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] donalgodon:
I just set it up and entered my fingerprint and it asks me for a pin. Now, whenever I use the power button to lock the screen, it asks me for my pin instead of just waking up from scanner.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Do you know what you are asking?

That's the default unlock option,you can unlock the phone with ur fingerprint without the need of pin.

The pin is only needed once you reboot the phone.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] nighthawk626:
Very weird man. I'm thinking something in your settings is causing that
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] donalgodon:
Okay. Mine's not working that way. Not sure why.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Check ur settings.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] donalgodon:
I think it has something to do with the Nova setting "Double tap" to sleep the screen. I disabled this and it works.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] gm007:
Good that you found the culprit.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] hx4700 user:
In Settings / Fingerprint ID / Fingerprint Management (you will need your PIN here) is Unlock Screen set to On (blue with the circle on the right)?

Do you mean "wake" as in when you have put it to sleep by a short press on the power button, or by letting the screen timeout. Done that way, the default will unlock the phone by fingerprint - if you have set fingerprint as an option and enrolled at least one (and use that one)!

edit: I have just tried an app called Gravity Lock so that if I put my phone face down it would lock the screen. The problem with it is that it meant I had to use the PIN to unlock the phone, as the fingerprint was prevented by the app. I've uninstalled it (had to do that from with in the app) and the phone is back to unlocking by fingerprint.

Or do you mean "Start" which is when you have to reboot the phone having long pressed on the power button, and then chosen "Power Off" followed by "Power off". Can't think why you'd do that. That way, it takes appreciably longer to start and you get the Huawei logo and animations. After this, you'll need your PIN.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] donalgodon:
It seems the problem was using Nova's gesture double-tap to sleep the screen. When I disabled that, it works as it should.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] me7tarfeek:
Dear [MENTION=2278462]donalgodon[/MENTION]

Whenever you use a 3rd party app to lock your screen, you need to enter the pin. That is the secret.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] donalgodon:
I tried to uninstall and reinstall Nova, but the problem persisted. I think it's because I didn't have an active PIN when I set the option initially, so I'm not sure how to make that work now.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] nakTT:
I think i understand what's the guy asking because my P9 Plus working exactly like your when running on Marshmallow BUT after upgraded to Nougat, i experience the same problem as his phone.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] eddmecha:
go to advance settings>security>administrator>deactivate nova manager or something like that
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tommy281:
Intersesting thread... On my mate 9(usa) i also have to use the pin(PITA) after using fingerprint to unlock phone. this happens all day long. iv followed eddmecha instructions and although nova was not active Hi Locker(old app) was....

lets see if that solves that problem :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] wase4711:
same problem here on my mate 9 pro; always have to enter PIN when the screen wakes up..
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] freddyttt:
and that seemed to work..... but in my case I had an app installed called screen notifications which was locking the screen.... thanks;)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tottezhao:
As mentioned above, this is a default function. Used of fingerprint sensor will automatically wake the device without entering the pin. Please check you have install any "Screen Lock" application? That may affect your fingerprint function.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] bdcrim:
Sorry to resurrect this issue. Just got a Mate 9 and am having an issue with a pin code being required trying to interact with a notification. Fingerprint sensor unlocks the screen otherwise. Any thoughts?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] MKShiro:
Let me weigh in on this too. As others have already mentioned, third party apps will cause this "input-pin-after-unlocking-with-fingerprint'' issue. Well, it's not an issue, it's just how Nougat is. If you guys are trying to save the power button by having an on-screen way of locking the screen, then just reactivate the old screen lock widget.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mermaidkiller:
A slightly different, but related question.

I have made that the power button does not lock the device immediately, only after a screen sleep timeout.

And to lock the screen immediately, I made a Tasker task with a shortcut to it.

However, when locked by the Tasker task the PIN screen displays 'locked by device administrator' (which is Tasker in this case) I cannot unlock by the fingerprint, only by entering the PIN.

When I enable 'power button locks device' the fingerprint does work.

Is this a known issue ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] El Papus:
Hi.

This the way that work for me.

Widgets, ScreenLock Shorcut.

Thats all.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] dktblade:
maybe some people here dont know and dont understand exactly the question.

let i descript a bit then u will know:

on Miui of Xiaomi device, you DONT HAVE to set up fingerprint. but you just touch your finger to fingerprint area, the screen will wake up. it's the same way on Emui if you set up fingerprint. But on Xiaomi, No need setup anything.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] sixhundrednine:
My Chinese Mate 9 with B213 doesn't have the feature which allows turning screen on without pin. Looks like it's removed. See here: http://preview.ibb.co/jSpaL5/Screenshot_20170627_210013.png
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] cheryanne:
Go into fingerprint management.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] sixhundrednine:
When I go there it asks for setting up pin. When I remove pin, it says the fingerprint id will also go. Screenshot here: http://preview.ibb.co/gzurdQ/Screenshot_20170628_204317.png

I really think EMUI removed this option.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ResonanceZero:
You have to set up a pin (or password) before you can enable fingerprints on any system, and you will always have to enter the pin/password when you first boot or the first time you log into a protected user account. After that point, if you have the fingerprint enabled for unlocking, you can use the fingerprint to directly wake and log in *if you are using the default lock screen*. If you have installed anything that overrides the lock screen, this will stop working, and you will need to use the PIN again.

I can verify on my Chinese B213 that my copy wakes up just fine via fingerprint. If it isn't working for you, you either have misconfigured your fingerprint or (more likely) you have an app installed that's taking over the lock screen and preventing fingerprint wake from working.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] sixhundrednine:
Another thing that we are trying to do here is to wake the device using finger scanner without the pin lock even set up in the first place. Chinese Mate 9 with B213 doesn't seem to offer this option.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ResonanceZero:
... does any version offer this option? I admit, it would not have occurred to me that this was what you were trying for, but I keep enough data on my phone that I would never consider giving full access to everyone who managed to briefly get their hands on it.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] sixhundrednine:
[MENTION=4115953]gm007[/MENTION] in post number 16 under this thread has uploaded a screen shot. I am personally interested in this feature because like many mate 9 users, I am facing the problem of frequent restarts with no solution in sight. When phone restarts while being locked, many apps do not auto resume. So the work around is to live without pin lock.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ResonanceZero:
I'm pretty sure that gm007 has a pin, and once you have a pin even B213 will have that option:
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] HellRoot:
I never use my pin anymore... Just the fingerprint scanner.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Giocarro:
I know that some time passed by, but did anyone find a solution to quickly lock the device (like Nova action does) without having to input PIN to unlock and without having to use the built-in unlock widget (I prefer to use a button shortcut from everywhere or even remap the Google Assistant action to quickly lock the device) ?

Edit: nevermind, found a solution already. In Nova settings set the double-tap action to Activity > Screen lock.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tboooe:
Try using Nova gesture with Everywhere Launcher. I am able to do a swipe gesture from any app to lock my screen. Very convenient.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Giocarro:
Oh, yes, I actually mapped the 'Google Assistant' gesture (home-button long-press) to achieve the same result, i.e. to lock the phone from any application, in addition to the Nova method.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] mavera:
i installed new rom today, i did full wipe while installing, everything deleted but fingerprints are not. so, my phone waking up with fp without any pin code.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tboooe:
Thats the expected result right? I only have to enter my PIN the first time I unlock my phone after a reset.

[HTC Desire 510] bulsatar:
Hello all,

I have a weird situation. My daughter's 510 is crashing after about 5 minutes. So went to wipe the OS (raptoromv.1) thru the normal wipe process of twrp and reinstall a fresh copy. Turned on the device, nothing had changed, still her background pic, still her apps, everything was the same and crashed after a couple minutes. Used rm -rf thru twrp , even reformatted system, data, cache to something other than ext4. Didn't even reinstall the OS after twrp said there was no OS installed to reboot into as I wanted the boot to fail. The damn thing turned on and booted directly into her normal system. Tried going into adb shell as root, mounted system, data, and cache, rm -rf /system/*, rm -rf /data/*, rm -rf /cache/*..... STILL the OS was there and booted up just like normal.

So....how do I kill this thing? It is a living zombie that needs to die and have a fresh image installed but no matter what I do it stays. Any help / ideas are very much appreciated!!
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] acjames:
I am not getting any sounds with any apps playing music or videos (YouTube, Play Music, Play Movie, Fenix, Facebook, Instagram, Google+, Tumblr, Chrome or games). No sound from videos recorded from the phone. No startup or shutdown sounds either. BUT I do get notification sounds and can play ringtones. Speakerphone works too. Headphones and bluetooth works also.

This is where it gets strange. I can make a call and put it on Speakerphone. Then do something like play a YouTube video and the sound works. As soon as the call ends, the sound stops working again.

I have tried SafeMode, reset the phone 3 times with the last time setting it up as a new device. I spoke to Google support already and they are going to replace it but this seems more like a software issue to me. Any ideas?:confused:
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] ahent:
That's weird, I took a spin through the developer options and didn't see anything that might help, have you disabled Bluetooth? Basic, I know but smaller things then that have bitten me before. I just can't think of too many settings that would hang around after a factory reset, especially after setting up as new device.

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

Oh, I almost forgot have you tried sound through headphones? I have heard of some reports (not any specific phones) that lint will get into headphone jack and sometimes, if lint is conductive, the phone will think headphones are plugged in.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] acjames:
Yeah, I have tried turning off bluetooth. Headphones work too. I was thinking the same thing that there may be lint in the audio jack and tried compress air but no luck. I am convinced that its something software tho. I can play voicemails back with Google Voice too which is super weird. I just dont know what it could be.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Vivoin3d:
Was it like that from day one?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] acjames:
Just started this morning.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Vivoin3d:
No idea what it could be, but just to exclude something very simple: is the level of "Media volume" in the sound settings all the way up? Can you hear the start up sound when you connect your headphones?
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] acjames:
I tried to restart with the headphones in and did get sound. Also I can maneuver the headphones into the jack and the sound starts back so I guess it is a hardware issue. When I do get the sound working that way, when I open a different app, it stops again and I have to do it again. But it looks like something may be in the headphone jack...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] dacdoug:
Same problem - it started for me after trying to use Android beam ...
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] M9guy:
You did say it did it on the phone speakers too right ? That sounds like software.

Did you try flashing the newest factory image which wipes everything and makes it factory fresh ? If not its worth a try as yes it sounds like a software issue since sound works the other ways you listed. Flashing a factory image is the ultimate as far as returning to factory fresh as factory reset does not really do a lot more than just wipe your data.
