Hi guys! New here. I noticed 100% correlation between advanced finger gesture and scanner not working/freezing.

My scanner didn't work for about 3 hours. I read another post by 'bedeadu' and turned off the advanced gesture. Fingerprint scanner started working immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RiChDAiLLeST1:
I have no luck even with gestures off. My FP scanner works once every 5-6 tries it's Soo annoying. What should I do? I tried *#0*# and no luck there either. Time being I've just turned off the lockscreen but I don't want to keep it that way. Any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] shagy38:
Mine is working also no issues
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Blancoo:
I found a way to get it working again on my s8. If you have your fingerprint set up to PayPal, you can leave your finger on the sensor, open the app, let it log you in and with your finger still on the sensor, lock the phone and wake it and it should unlock and work after that. Hasn't messed stopped working since,unless the phone restarts.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] yiyi28:
I haven't had this issue but I can point out several things that could cause the issues

1. Greenify or similar apps - these kind of apps ask you to turn off 'instant lock' so they can "delay" locking the screen (without you noticing that) and hibernating the apps. During this process, fingerprint sensor won't work because the phone is not locked, thus you can't unlock the phone.

2. Similar to above, you didn't set lock screen to be 'instant'. When you try to unlock your phone, the phone is not locked, so you can't unlock with your fingerprint sensor.

3. Some other apps that has the permission to lock your phone. Sometimes phone locked by the apps (e.g. Greenify) will ask you to input PIN to unlock it for security reason. Fingerprint sensor MIGHT NOT work under this circumstance

4. Fingerprint sensor gestures could potentially break the scanner feature, as other ppl have mentioned.

5. Case is too thick. S8 and S8+'s fingerprint sensor are rather small. With thick case on, it's hard to reach. And if your finger doesn't cover about 50% of the sensor, it won't detect your finger.

Is "Android Recovery" a desktop application for flashing phones? I've always done factory reset through the recovery menu. Is that what you're referring to?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] No thank s:
I found a fix, turn off fingerprint scanner gestures, and for good measure wipe the scanner, ever since I did that, it works FLAWLESSLY I was so frustrated for a few days. I hope I saved somebody's wallet
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Tindall79:
So I have been on the samsung forums and they seem to be no help. My fingerprint sensor stopped working on the 9th. I decided to remove and try to re-add. Well that didn't work it took over 24 hours for me to finally get it readded. The sensor would not respond to anything. It worked for about 30 minutes and stopped. Then last night it worked for a couple hours and just stopped again. I have tried all the troubleshooting steps. I have toggled off the fingerprint gestures, the always on dislpay. I have forced stop the fingerprint system app. I have ran *#0*# and went to sensors and ran the normal scan for fingerprint. I have soft and hard booted the phone and even put it into safe mode. Nothing seems to work, it works when it wants too. My question is should I do a factory reset and see if the issue still persists. My feeling it is a software bug as this worked since I had the phone and just stopped working with no warning. If the factory reset doesn't work should I go for a replacement (brand new, not refurbished)?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Fuery:
it is a software problem man... something about the fingerprint function stop working , and that's why only restore operation when the devices is restart , for me start working inmiditaly afther reboot, which is not as anoying considering how fast the s8 restart , if it was a hardware problem would not work even with restart...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] harrythescorpion:
I can confirm the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] The G Dept.:
I got my S8+ on april 18th and never had issues with the fps. I had it not responding for the first time a few days ago. Rebooting fixed it.

It stopped working again yesterday. Couldn't unlock the phone, couldn't pull down notifications. No double vibration feedback either when fps fails authentication. Weird enough, I kept using the phone before going to bed and I randomly got the failed fps authentication double vibration a few times for no reason, I wasn't even touching the fps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] patthe:
I have issue as well

To fix it I need to reboot the phone
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pirateye:
The same for S8+

Disabling the swipe feature restored the fingerprint functionality without rebooting the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
It might help to narrow down the issue by stating your carrier and chip set (snapdragon or exynos).

Just a shot in the dark, do any of you guys use Greenify or any other power saving app/feature by any chance? I use my fingerprint sensor religiously and the only time I had issues with wake-unlocking my phone was immediately after installing Greenify. Not sure if its a common issue but uninstalling fixed my issue immediately. Been working fine since.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Amar.B:
I'm experiencing the same issue here sometimes fingerprint sensor doesn't work, You have to unlock your phone using pin in order to be able to use it again. I'm suspecting it's a software related issues.

Try disable battery optimization for fingetprint

I have disabled battery optimization for fingerprint and i think it's working now not 100% sure..

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] wigglitz:
^ This is what was interfering with my fingerprint sensor. It would just stop responding intermittently throughout the day until I reboot. Turned off Finger Sensor Gestures and the issue did not return. Turned Gestures back on to see if it would start failing again and indeed it did just as before until I turned the feature off.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] DudeThatsErin:
This happens on my S8+ T-Mobile version, too. Happened through getting it replaced. So 2 different phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] black_ps:
It's a software problem 100%.

Did a factory reset from recovery no problems after 1 day.

https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...-s8-into-recovery-mode-download-mode-0177223/

Problems again after 2 days.. So no fix Samsung must fix this stupid fingerprint problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] insang-droid:
Happened on my T-Mobile s8+ as well. 2nd time last night.. tried varius things except the swipe feature.

whats weird is that Samsung Pay and other finger print app logins work. just didn't work for unlocking. reboot fixed but this is quite annoying
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Ekci:
I think that fixed my problem, thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] black_ps:
I have found a fix for the problem, keep the finger on the fingerprint scanner then close the screen from the button and it will work 100% until you restart the phone, i hope it helps.

It's working only if you have less then 3 fingerprints added.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] taker888:
Yup, mines (T-Mobile) has this habit as well. I've been using iPhone for the past 7 yrs and never had a issue. Talk about inconsistent! Lil, stuff like this is why im so ocd and go back to Apple. lol..
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mellojosh:
I tried to read all the responses here, so forgive me if this is already out there, but I found where the problem is on my device. It seems to be some conflict with Samsung pay. If I try to unlock my phone with the fingerprint and I get no feedback or doesn't unlock, I will turn my display off and swipe up to initiate samsung pay. The fingerprint always works to start the payment process, then I back out back to the lock screen and the fingerprint sensor works again. I also have this problem on my note5 and the same solution works for that phone too. My best guess is that samsung pay has for some reason locked up the fingerprint system process. If this solution helps anyone else, please post so we can try and help confirm and maybe get a fix. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] coldconfession13:
Yea glad I'm not the only one with this annoying issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] asphire23:
I finally got annoyed of the fingerprint not working most of the time to unlock until I read this thread. What works for me is to turn off the finger sensor gestures in the samsung pay app. Now it's working 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] marmo:
It happens to me also. Reboot fix it for a while. I hope Samsung will fix it for the next update
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Been happening to myself a lot lately. At first I thought it was because my pocket was wet and just made it disable itself until a reboot. But then after a few days to hours it would return for no reason. I can confirm after disabling fingerprint gestures it instantly worked again, without even having to reboot. I pre-ordered directly from Samsung, Verizon model, in case someone still finds that useful.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] juss2nuff:
I have not found a permanent fix for this problem, however I have found a solution that allows the fingerprint scanner to work again WITHOUT having to reboot the device. This can be accomplished by following the steps:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Lepa79:
Happened to me last week on S8 Plus AT&T. Was the 1st time to happen and didn't repeat yet. I had to reboot to get it to work again. Thanks for all the tips on disabling finger print gesture. I'll try that next time if it comes back. I don't use that finger print gesture anyway.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sevin7:
Disabling finger sensor gestures fixed the problem for me. Go to settings, type "gestures" in the search (top right), select "finger sensor gestures", turn it off. I had this issue every day for months. After disabling finger sensor gestures the issue is gone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] leabradley:
I am also facing the same problem. How it is resolved?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FuMMoD:

This is the first phone I'd have to reboot so much in a while. My Nexus 6P I only rebooted rarely.

SOLVED : Guys, i found out that due to a security policy update you can't use the Iris or Fingerprint Scanner if you're using a third party app to lock the screen such as the double tap feature on Nova Launcher, thats why theyre not workin.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JWadle:
Fingerprint Solution?

The fingerprint scanner on my S8+ works only occasionally - less than 1/3 the time. I'm wondering if this might be related to using a custom launcher. I'm using the Microsoft (Arrow) launcher.

In any case, is there a definitive fix for the fingerprint scanning?

Hello,

I am abroad and I want to buy tablet samsung galaxy tab s2 8 inches LTE. But local version of this tablet doesn´t support european LTE frequency (especially B20 - 800MHz) is it only ROM problem? Can I change ROM after comeback to my country and everything will be ok? Or it is hardware problem that means that european version of this tablet has different LTE hardware than local (Singaporean)?

Hi!

I'm steaming at Android. I am just changing from a Galaxy Note with 4.4 to a LG G3 with 6 and aside from the speed it is nothing but disappointment.

With a huge increase in pixels I thought that more information will be displayed - but it is the exact opposite. After days of tinkering and installing xposed and Appsettings I am finally getting a bit of a hold of that problem.

But there are still a lot of weird things I can't seem to find the right place to make it work.

Can anyone point me to a place where I can find an explanation of how app layout and screen presentation depending on resolution is handled? Or explain it here?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Iain_Benson:
There seems to be a plethora of ROMs out there, all using different CE OS and build versions, and with different software installed. I'm sure each one suits different people in different ways, and there isn't a "best" one out there, but is there any comparison information anywhere such as which is faster, more stable, most free space, versions of OS and build. If not, how about people post their preference of ROM and reasons for the choice here to help newcomers make an informed decision without having to flash 23 different ROMs only to find they should have stuck with the original :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gabriel31337:
"It's all about if you flash new ROM every second or third day."

To be honest, go through the forum and you will find speed comparisons (SPB Benchmark), OS and Radio version differences and any other answers.

BTW I'm using Alex's HTC UltraClean ROM v4 with OS 5.2.1620 build 18125.0.4.2

and soon to be moving to Quentin's Q-Mobile v1.2 OS 5.2.1948 Build 18548.0.7.0

Cheers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ecltech:
Unfortunately no one can tell you which ROM to use. The best thing to try them and see which one works best for you based on what's included. From what I've seen in the benchmark there hasn't been that much of a difference to say one ROM works better than the other (for cooked ROMs). The difference I think wouldn't make much difference when you're using the device unless it's a huge gap in the benchmark.

With that said, I've been using Alex's ROM (used his v4 cooking kit) and it worked great for me. I recently flashed Quentin Q-Mobile v1.2 and it's been working great so far. I tend to stick with ROMs compatible with radio v1.27.14.07 as it works best for me. I've tried other ROMs but reception is normally not the best. So that's one main point for me. I normally like to install my own software so that's why I've been using Alex's ROM kitchen. When Q-Mobile v1.2 came out recently the included apps were all things I used so that came in very handy.

Again, just try the ROMs and see what you like. I'm not a big fan of the touchflo cube so I stay away from those ROMs... doesn't mean I didn't try it. :)
