i broke my nubia LCD and replace it sucessfully, but when i was moving the old modules for the new frame i broke my back camera... so i moved all the rest and my phone is alive again, but after testing all sensors i saw that the flashlight isnt working. check it circuit and its all responding but when i click to enable/turn it on, the icon goes brighter and get dark again.

i didnt move the old broked camera module so the phone have no back camera until i get the new one.

is it possible that my flash doesnt work cause the back camera is missing?

thanks in advice.

I know maybe what the consequences will be but has anybody had done this let's say S6 edge to the S6 regular or vice versa? had you had problems? What happens if you flash S8+ firmware to a Regular S8?

Thanks

[Pebble] keijun:
Actually, it's not for me but my wife.

She always miss the phone call or messages.

That's why I purchase two pebble time round. one for me and one for my wife.

After using pebble time round, she rarely miss phone call or messages.

(FYI, we set silent mode on our phone when we use Pebble. Ringing sound or vibration is noise pollution for us.)

However, when she come back to house she take off her watch(pebble) ONLY.

She never set her phone to vibration mode or sound mode)

So I've been searching some pebble app or companion app for android phone.

When pebble is stand-by mode or it is not moving (recognize its wearing status). phone ringing status change automatically from silent mode to sound mode.

Is there any app for my wife?
[AT&T LG G5 Questions & Answers] TR3275:
So I have completely given up on my LG G5 for 5 months and today I decided to see if maybe I could get it updated to Nougat to see if it would fix the battery drain I was having. I couldn't get that far. Now the WiFi and Bluetooth say Connection not allowed and I can't connect to my home wifi of course. Well I decided to check the MAC Address to see whats going on. My current MAC Address is 02:00:00:00:00:00. Something doesn't seem right about that.

My ideas that I have done:

4 Factory Resets

3 Airplane Mode Reboots

2 Safe Mode Attempts

1 Clearing of Cache

At this point I dont know what else to do. I really miss Android and I am currently using an iPhone 6S. I just want to get back to the roots where I belong on the Dark Side. Please someone help me with this issue, I even contacted LG support and they told me they can't do much about it. Same with AT&T they aren't helpful over the situation. This seems to be an issue a few people have had but I think it's time to get this issue fixed.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GGgamer16:
My fingerprint sensor will just stop working and I need to reboot it in order to make it work again. It doesn't detect my finger at all , it's like its dead. I have the Verizon s8+, pre ordered it and got it on 4/20. I don't suffer from the dqa issue but i have another s8 plus, also pre ordered that does suffer from the issue. Anyone know of a fix or know how we can bring this to light in order to get it fixed

Edit: I believe the fix is to go into lock screen and security, after which go to secure lock settings and select the lock automatically option, and set it to immediately. I tested it when my fingerprint sensor wasn't working, and it fixed it for me

Edit #2: That did not fix it forever , issue came back within 30 minutes, from my testing it appears that fidgeting with the following (1. Screen Timeout 2. The Automatic lock timer 3. Lock instantly with power key) causes the issue to disappear or appear. I have contacted Samsung about it and they suggested a factory reset, not giving 2 ****s about the issue, they couldn't even tell me if they were working on a fix.

Edit #3: wow, didn't expect this page to become so popular as I didn't think this was such a big issue, my final solution was turning off fingerprint gestures, haven't experienced the issue after that, I've tried to factory reset the phone multiple times.

P. S. I have been able to achieve better speeds with the Iris scanner, a key trick to getting it to unlock faster is to look right into the sensor, which is the smaller circle next to the camera in the top right corner
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GGgamer16:
Should've clarified the dqa issue is not what i'm worried about, just wanted to point out the weirdness of these bugs, It's the fingerprint issue i'm worried about

Weird, I noticed this issue today
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
Posted in the other thread about the same problem. I noticed this today as well. Most of the time significantly moving the phone and scanning my finger again seems to work. I am yet to encounter this issue when the phone is actually unlocked authenticating to an app or something. So far it all seems to be limited to the lock screen in that the phone does not want to register a scan of the finger at all, as though the scanner is not there.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Erivera14:
Same

Same, I really dont want to get a new one. I need a answer and your the only post of source that has the same problem as me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] johnminea:
Same issues here, very annoying. T-Mobile version. We have two S8 and one of them is working fine, the other one it's having fingerprint issues. Any ideas on how to fix this? I hope is a software issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
I think it is software related. It seems to intermittent and in my case seems to be related to limited movement before scanning the finger as I only see this when trying to unlock. In other words, it seems the unlock needs an accelerator event before unlock event to work, and no movement such as a finger resting on the screen doesn't detect.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Have you tried disabling Optimize Battery Usage for the Fingerprint system app?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] badbradd2:
Mine is doing the same thing. It's almost completey random as to when the fingerprint sensor works. It's not as if it isn't recognizing my fingerprint, it's as if the sensor is completely dead or inactive. I'm tempted to return the phone and re-order but I have a trip coming up that I would like the phone for but if I wait until I return I will be past my 20 days.

Very frustrating after having to return my Note 7 like 3 times.

Does this seem software related?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] johnminea:
Not sure it is software related. I have another S8, same carrier (T-Mobile) same firmware same software updates, version etc. Both came on April 19. Mine is having issues since I got it, the other one 7 days later no issues at all. I called Samsung and they told me if a factory reset does not solve the issue, to go to the store and get a new one. I will get a replacement tomorrow. I am on the edge with Samsung coming from a Note 7 user....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] badbradd2:
That's good to know. I ordered mine online through T-Mobile and they require me to send it back through the mail. They won't let me exchange it in store. So dumb. They also won't send me out the replacement before I send the broken one back. Looks like I will be without a phone for a few days.

I'm getting real sick of this loss of quality control with Samsung.

'
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] johnminea:
Yeah same here, but. You can call customer service and ask them to send the replacement phone at a store near you. This is what they have done for me. I will go tomorrow to pick up the replacement phone and I will give them back the old one. Is stupid but it is what it is. I think because the stores are individual franchises, maybe. who the heck knows. If the second one does the same I am pretty much done with Samsung. I had enough with my Note 7, now this. grrr
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] -Alan:
So this morning I once again had the sensor shut down. It's not just on the lock screen. After unlocking with the pin I was unable to use the fingerprint sensor to bring the notification menu down either.

I'm going to go to Verizon after work today and get a replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] johnminea:
I had no time to go and get the replacement today. However, no issues in the last 48 hours. For some reason is just working. I might go tomorrow and get a new one just to be on the safe side, I hope.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] -Alan:
Mine happened first on 4/20 and it had not done it again until today. So I'm just going to go in and exchange it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] shagy38:
Where is that setting
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] -Alan:
Well I took the phone into Verizon and they refused to exchange it. They said it's a software problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GGgamer16:
I just did it, when Imade the thread I didn't know where to find the option, upon looking further I found it.

For anyone wondering, go to apps, then app manager, then in the upper right corner click on the option icon , then click on special access, then click on optimize battery usage, then click on "Apps not optimized" and then select "All apps", then scroll down and look for Fingerprint app(I don't know if this is the only app having to do with the fingerprint sensor) and untoggle it.

P.S. I dont know if this works or not, as I have not experienced the bug for over 36 hours

Edit: this did not work, I just experienced the bug again, the fix is to go to

lock screen and security, then to secure lock settings, and set the automatic lock to immediately.

Edit #2: This did not work , see OP for more info

Don't have any issue with the fingerprint sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ryj01:
What I noticed, Is that on the lock screen it will tell me I can use both pin and fingerprint. Then it will work fine, but then sometimes the lock screen says pin only and then the scanner will not work. It is totally random, can't figure out why the finger print option is gone sometimes
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] shagy38:
mine doesnt work Half the time
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ryj01:
just figured it out!!

Go to lock screen and security

secure lock settings

then select instant or the time period that you need

Mine was set for 3 mins, now put it on instant and it hasn't failed
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GGgamer16:
That totally fixed it, any previous fixes didn't work

Issue came back for me soon after , fix only appears t' work temporarily, works for less time than the reboot, see OP for more updates
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Anubis24:
I've had this problem everytime I returned from gym.

Apart from rebooting, what I've tried that seems to be a temporary fix is disabling the sensor, locking the phone, unlocking it via different method, and then enabling sensor again. This worked for me.

This has to be software related.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Has anyone tried using the App settings to Clear Data for the Fingerprint system app, then re-register all fingerprints? I haven't encountered any problem with fingerprint recognition, but I did run into a similar problem with iris recognition, and clearing data for the Iris app (and re-registering my irises) may have fixed it (it's worked fine for two days now).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] -Alan:
I tried this and it worked fine for a day and then came back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] johnminea:
So after 2.5 hours on the phone with T-Mobile and Samsung, I ended up replacing the phone yesterday with another one. If this was a software issue everyone would have had this issue. Looks like only a handful of devices are having this issue. I have another S8 for 10 days with no issue. same carrier same software version, same firmware blah blah. I will see the new one but so far I am not having these issues. Not sure if this matter but the first one I had was produced in March, the new one that I got yesterday, is listed April 14 manufactured date. Samsung couldn't tell if is a software issue or hardware issue. They told me they need to investigate and see. All they suggested was factory reset and that didn't solve the issue. I am hoping this one will work, just like the other one I have. I also know a few people with S8 and S8 plus, no issues. hmm

Sadly, that seems to be the only mechanism for reporting actual bugs to Samsung. Please let us know how you fare.

Funny that you mention that, the two times I've been to the gym has resulted in the same thing where the fps

becomes unresponsive.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GGgamer16:
I contacted different publications, they said they'll look into it. I was also able to get the bug on video. After I had done another factory reset(something suggested by Samsung and Verizon), suggesting this is not just a software issue. Maybe Samsung is using different fingerprint sensors, from different manufacturers, and that is what is causing the issue. All I know is that the response from samsung has been miserable. Going to Verizon on Monday to try to get it exchanged.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] CazzaK:
Factory reset does not fix issue. Need to activate Iris unlock

This issue seems to come and go randomly. I found that if I enable Iris unlock the fingerprint sensor works every time. However, if the Iris sensor doesn't unlock it, then neither will the fingerprint. Ultimately, if forces you to use the pattern or pin "as required by the security setting". A factory reset DOES NOT address the issue!! This is such a nuisance glitch and Samsung needs to fix it ASAP if they want to redeem themselves post Note 7 disaster!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zingxao:
Received my phone on the 21st, the following Monday the fingerprint sensor stopped working, a reboot fixed it. Did it again later on. I deleted my fingerprints, downloaded the OTA update and then rescanned my fingerprints.

It's working consistently since then.

The only issue I have with the fingerprint scanner is that the pull down gesture doesn't always work after waking up the screen.

Oh and the pressure sensitive home button sometimes has a delay with the vibration feedback, but I think these are just software issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Angelaller:
I'm Editor in Roloteca.com (Spanish web), I'm writing about it. I'm reading your comments and it's sadly. We can't accept this from Samsung, it's unacceptable. First, Note 7; second, S8 Red screen Gate, Fingerprint sensor and the random reboots. It seems the units affected are from U.S, because in HTCmania.com (spanish forum) I don't see anybody reporting this issue.

I love the design of this galaxy S8, but It seems Samsung doesn't learn of mistakes. I know a spanish website won't help you enough, but I would like to contribute a bit. I hope you could fix it!

Greets from Spain.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] johnminea:
After a week of dealing with this issue, I returned the phone and got another one. No more issues. Clearly, some devices are having this weird issue. I also tried everything posted here, plus 3 factory defaults and one complete wipe as Samsung suggested nothing. Another device seems to be the solution..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dhorgas:
I still think this is a software issue. It may yet resurface for you. Not trying to be a downer...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] cabreca:
I'm inclined to think it's a software issue. I simply toggled the fingerprint gestures and was up and running again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] redline06:
I noticed this right after that small DQA related update the phone did through "Galaxy Apps"

I found that aside from rebooting you can dial *#0*# , press "Sensor" scroll to the bottom where it says "Fingerprint Test" and press "Normal Scan", it'll start working again.

I did a factory data reset yeaterday but declined the DQA update when it prompted me to install it and the issue is gone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] badbradd2:
The fingerprint issue hasn't popped up again in the last few days but I leave on a trip in two days, so I need to decide whether to send it back in for a new S8+. Grr...soo annoying. Why do I even try with Samsung anymore.

Chances are I'll jump to the Note 8 anyways, so perhaps I just take a chance on the fingerprint being fixed and working for the next few months.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GGgamer16:
Any update, I really want to know if I should go in and exchange it
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] -Alan:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] GGgamer16:
God dammit Samsung, why does your software have to be so flawed, I'm sure that atm it's the least secure of all of them, with all of the flaws it has.

On another note, did you enable fingerprint sensor gestures? Do you believe there is a correlation between this and the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Spheneh:
I had this issue as well. The fingerprint sensor would just stop. As it turns out it's not the phone it was Greenify or ANY similar app will put this to sleep and there is no way to turn it back on without a restart.

As the S8 comes with a similar app built in that functions like Greenify any app such as this is not needed.

After I removed Greenify I haven't had an issue in over one week.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] WizeGuyDezignz:
This is 100% a software issue and 100% an issue with finger sensor gestures in advanced features.

I did testing and as soon as I turned off finger sensor gestures it hasn't happened since. When I had finger sensor gestures on, my fingerprint sensor would die once per day until I rebooted the phone. Since I turned finger sensor gestures off, I haven't had the sensor die in over a week.

Hopefully this is fixed via a software update.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] shagy38:
I was having the same problem I did a factory reset from from Android recovery and I have not had the issue since also I am using finger print gestures with no issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Samzebian:
I had a silver S8+, no issues and owned it for a week and a few days. My S8+ in black I got as the exchange has been having this issue since either yesterday or the day before. I tried rebooting today and it has fixed the issue for now. I'm thinking it can be possibly hardware since my other phone did not have any of these issues. I really do not want to exchange AGAIN! Setting up a new phone is super time consuming.

Just remembered, while this was happening, I still was able to use my fingerprint scanner to get to my apps. I use an app called fingersecurity to secure my apps, mainly because I used to use my phone without a lockscreen and just lock down certain apps, but also I used to work in a VZW store and have to demo my phone to customers a lot, so I locked down certain apps for privacy. If anybody else wants to try to use apps like fingersecurity or even apps that use finger print like paypal, ebay, banks and others, if the scanner still works while not working on lock screen, this would confirm a software issue.
