[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
What's funny is even after all the scratching in the video, the fingerprint sensor still works for Jerry. ?

[youtube]Me5xFSCnyNw[/youtube]

Gives me even more reason why it's a software thing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] :
I enrolled in the developer preview. It has been 4 days and the problem never showed up even once. I'll keep you guys posted.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] dan_delaney:
I used an alcohol wipe from a spare screen protector and rubbed at the FP sensor for about 5 minutes or so. Since then, I've had nowhere near the same number of problems and have been able to register both of my fingerprints and use them for phone unlocking and app access ( Lastpass, Halifax Bank, Dropbox ). Not quite as perfect as my 6P was, but good enough that I don't want to throw the phone at a wall 20 times a day.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] fanello123:
DP2 has helped a lot for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jadeiceman:
DP2 hasn't really helped me at all. Sometimes it works great, sometimes it'll just give me the "Couldn't process fingerprint. Please try again" error over and over again. I'm more convinced now it's a software issue because it seems like if it was a hardware issue, it would just stop working all together. I just hope they release a fix soon. This is getting really annoying.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] skw5115:
I also had issues with my fingerprint sensor. They didn't show up until after the November security patch for me. Flashed the most recent Snoke Kernel and I've been issue free since then.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] sjpritch25:
I have issues some time if liquid or dirt on my finger
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Voicebox:
Mine is working basically as it should on DP2. However, it is pretty sensitive to when I recently washed my hands or if my hands are sweaty or oily. I'm starting to think the textured surface attracts too much liquid, dirt, oil from the skin, etc. Which then causes mistaken fingerprint readings.

In addition to using swabs and alcohol, I have started using dry paper napkins to try to smooth it out and it seems to have helped. Dry paper napkins are pretty abrasive, though are not too hard like sandpaper would be. It doesn't look much smoother but definitely feels smoother.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Warmax88:
I have a lot of problems with DP2.... Hope it really is a Software problem and Google can fix it soon
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jadeiceman:
I've been emailing customer support about this issue and got a response saying "Thanks for taking the time to report this. We're currently investigating this issue, however we do not have any resolution at this time. Google is committed to continually making improvements to our devices and regularly provides free software updates to customers." So I wouldn't expect a fix anytime soon. Apparently I paid Google $900 to debug their stupid phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Pecata:
I chatted with a technician from Google about two weeks ago, and they confirmed that they have a number of reports on this issue and are working on a fix. They believe it to be a software issue. I guess we will see.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] greencat2:
I added another copy of my fingerprints and it seems to be working. In my area the cold weather has dried out my skin.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] THEbigSWEEN:
I'm leaning towards a software issue as well or possibly just scanner getting slightly dirty over time, because my phone will unlock 100% of the time, it's just these damn banking apps that have been giving me trouble lately. I've wiped my sensor off and readded my prints but haven't thoroughly cleaned it yet so if no improvements that's my next step.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ap3xGam3r:
I have had 2 replacement pixel 2 xls with the original one having a horrible fingerprint sensor that wouldn't work 50% of the time. The first replacement phone had an amazing fingerprint sensor but had a darn yellow tint on the screen that made it look like I had night light on (which I didn't). Now this 2nd replacement phone I have right now has a working fingerprint sensor, but when I leave my phone untouched for a few minutes and try to unlock it with my fingerprint it takes 2 seconds to recognize. This is so frustrating...hopefully this official 8.1 update fixes this or I'm probably just going to return this phone. What a shame on Google for their quality control.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Sophos1:
Just chiming in with the same issue. The FPS on my Google Store Black 64gb P2XL works every time for unlocking the phone and on Empass but WILL NOT function at all with Chase app. Super frustrating.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Same model and use Chase as well. I get an error on occasion but if I wait a couple seconds and switch fingers it works 100% of the time after that.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Sophos1:
Chase won't even let me register my FP. I've removed my FPs from the phone and readded them. I've also added each print in twice to no avail.

After the 8.1 update I am hitting at about 95% success rate. 8.0 I was closer to 20%. So much better. I am stoked!

A quick question. i have a sm-T560NU Tab E.

7.0 canada update is available on sammobile

but my tab is a Nook Book with 6.0 build number MMB29M.T560NUUES1BPL1

sooooooooo,

can i still flash it or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab E  Guides, News, & Discussion] zefie:
For a clean install of the latest supported official ROM:

1) Download Kies3: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/kies

2) Put device into Download mode (Power + VolDown + Home, then Vol up when asked to continue)

3) Open kies and connect device

4) Kies will complain its unsupported, click OK to dismiss the dialog, then go to the Tools menu and choose "Firmware update and initialization"

5) Enter model number (SM-T560NU) (must be in caps or will fail)

6) It will prompt for serial number, that tiny print on the rear bottom of your tablet, again if letters are caps, use caps)

7) Kies should then offer a firmware, if it says "QK2", it is offering Nougat.

8) Let it do its thing and it will fully wipe your device and install the current stock ROM.

We just received this and I'd just like to be able to use Chrome and remove some of the Amazon icons from the desktop. What are my options?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
- install Google Play store (here), then install Chrome

- alternatively, you can side load chrome from here

- while technically possible to remove bloat (icons) I recommend you avoid this for now as the process is a bit involved and sometimes yields unwanted results

- can also go with a different launcher (here) which offers the ability to obscure unwanted desktop icons
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Benjamin_Mac:
So, I'm running the TS version of Lineage 14.1 on my Xiaomi Mi4c, have rooted and spent considerable effort tightening up the interactive CPU governor, as well as having a somewhat particular GPU configuration. I have also had a bit of a tinker with governor related stuff in the file system. I use CPUfloat to view frequencies, temps and such.

However, when I am in the 'balanced' performance profile, I'm not able to run the GPU at greater than 367mhz. To use the full 600mhz, I need to enable either 'quick' or 'performance' which forces the inefficient A57 cores on every time I wake my phone from sleep. This is not ideal.

TLDR: How do I neuter or disable the Lineage OS (kernel adjusting) performance options?

SOLUTION: Deleted ts_power.sh and edit

/sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/devfreq/max_freq

to '600000000' as well as

/sys/class/kgsl/kgsl-3d0/max_pwrlevel

to '0' . Full control gained

I don't now how or if this will be possible, but if someone gets it to work, please tell me and i will try to implement it into Battery Warner App.
[General Topics] dmgZero:
First post updated. Added design/concept of APP:D
[General Topics] Infy_AsiX:
It's possible using Tasker. It's not too hard but not exactly simple. On my Z3 Compact changing the charge current rate becomes permanent until reboot. Therefore if any change is made, an entire replacement charging setup needs to be created. You'll need overriding too cold, cold, hot and overheating profiles in interest of safety and for the same purpose of the entire venture, battery health. It will also need separate rate limits for the hot and cold safety profiles for screen off and screen on. The reason being that screen state typically defines power usage and therefore needs a suitable matching current to avoid charging the battery but still power the device and not draw from the battery during those safety limit profiles.

I posted my Tasker setup awhile back on the Charge Limit app thread but it seems there's not much interest. It's definitely working and usable, it can be done.
[General Topics] Infy_AsiX:
Oops, I just remembered the change isn't permanent but resets to a stock setting on each plugging in. But the same idea is required, a replacement setup to override the reset.

I discovered on a ZTE Axon 7 a voltage limit can be set similarly with root and the device slows the current up to the limit typically, therefore no further modding is required. It also can maintain that voltage limit in use with close to no current, effectively powering the device by mains instead. Maybe the best way is to upgrade to devices with better charging.
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] AppHands:
Anyone know if it is possible to run Oreo on the Blu HD R1?
[BLU R1 HD Questions & Answers] yaconsult:
No. You can't even run Nougat on the Blu R1 HD - there are issues, at least, with the camera. Oreo will never happen on the, now obsolete and discontinued, R1 HD. Blu is terrible at providing support or releasing code for their phones. What they are is budget priced - especially when subsidized by Amazon. There will be plenty of decent Chinese phones that will ship with Oreo - most likely even some new phones from Blu. But don't expect any release updates on a Blu phone. If you always want the latest and greatest updates and releases then you spend $650+ for a Google Pixel 2. You don't get those with a $60 Amazon Blu R1 HD. What you do get is a decent, functional, usable basic phone.

[Fire TV General] JeffDC:
I received the Fire TV 3 yesterday and though I'd share a few observations about the gadget.

1. I'm in a rural area and internet here is 'almost' not existent at home. We do have an account and receive about 2-3 Mbs speed. I offer this as the Fire TV 3 works only by wi-fi and has no ethernet plug-in. Even with my low speed, I could run the Fire TV 3 alright, but of course streaming is strained. We hope to have the internet speed issue resolved in a month or so.

2. No SD port. Had about 4.89 Gigs free of 5.34, or so before putting my apps on. Currently 3.53 still avail.

3. You can use the Android app, "Apps to FireTV" which works just fine. In fact for me the transfers/installs are much quicker than on my Fire TV 2. When using the app for 'installing', the app does say at the end that the transferred file was successfully uploaded to the Fire TV 3, but the install 'failed', even though every app did end up installing just fine, it just took a few seconds longer than the app transfer allowed for with the notice.

4. AppStarter works just fine for me.

5. Cetusplay and MouseToggle 1.06, 1.07, 1.08 (most recent version) do not work for me. Cetusplay loses the mouse cursor near the buttons I need to activate, and with MouseToggle, the mouse size/resolution has changed so the mouse is much smaller and does not activate what it rests over. At this point in time, both useless. I suspect that the background screen resolution of Fire TV 3 has changed and that may be the reason the Mouse Toggle may be smaller and 'off'.

6. Other apps installed, YouTube, Netflix, PIA, etc work just fine. Netflix HDR movies do view in HDR and I get the HDR 'notice' on my LG OLED tv screen.

7. I wish I could find a good internet browser that would work with the Fire TV 3 remote, and a mouse toggle that works with this new Fire TV 3 OS, and web browsers, as well.

8. SET TV works, but as the download speed is slow, I do get lagging. SET TV is about $20 a month subscription for 3 or 4 devices, 300+ channels, movie channels, CNN, HBO, et al. Very worth the monthly fee. Can't wait to have a reasonable internet connection speed soon... so I hope.

The Fire TV 3 is about as quick as the Fire TV 2 in terms of screen and page freshening. I did mention that Apps to Fire TV installs and uploads seem much quicker. The Fire TV 3, as you know, is much smaller and lighter, and hangs off the HDMI port on the TV. Velcro will work for that. Other than the new HDR output option, I can not say I am 'excited' about the Fire TV 3 yet, and whether to keep it or put my Fire TV 2 back up and wait for a Fire TV 3+, which has ethernet and an SD port.

That's about what I've come up with so far.
[Fire TV General] koolanil81:
Thats a crisp and neat review. I am from India and i was confused bw fire tv2 and 3. My requirement is to install some games on fire tv and play it. Ex i want to know if i can install asphalt8, real racing 3, modren combat games on it.
[Fire TV General] JUSTINMARMER:
There is indeed an ethernet adapter made for this device sold directly by Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074...g_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=DNC38R95V66GWW829SZN

I suppose you could also use OTG ethernet since it supports OTG
[Fire TV General] FlipMarc:
I also just got my FireTV3 2 days ago. So far it's been freezing up more often than my FireTV2. I'm not sure if it's because of the WiFi connection (tried both 2.4 & 5Ghz), but I was able to stream a 4K movie (Spectre) for 2 hours without any hiccups last night. I'm on FiOS 75/75 internet and my router is 15ft away.

I did order the Ethernet Adapter but haven't tried it yet. I wanted to see if WiFi would be good enough. I have my FireTV2 setup in my living-room on a wired LAN connection. This new FireTV3 is in my bedroom replacing my Gen1 FireTV stick. I might go ahead and connect the wired LAN this weekend if I find some free time.

The biggest hiccup I've come across was the Apps & Games section wouldn't load. I found a fix online = clear the cache for the Amazon App Store app.

Just like OP, Mouse Toggle app doesn't work at all with FireTV3. I've loaded it 3 times through Apps2Fire and through the new in app interface. It's just stuck on 'starting'.

PIA works just fine, but it's really stretched out. Unlike on my FireTV2 it shows up with black bars on the side.

Is there a big OS difference between FTV2 ad FTV3?
[Fire TV General] JeffDC:
Justin, thanks for that info. I will likely get one as I don't think Amazon is going to put out a Fire TV 3+ anytime soon!
[Fire TV General] JeffDC:
Re: Mouse Toggle, after the install and setup, mine also said ... starting. I then went into System Setup, Developer Options and turned adb off and waited a few seconds, and then back on. Then I rebooted and the Mouse Toggle would come up with the double press of the play/pause button. It's resolution and hotspot are off enough on many screens/apps, that it's about useless for me.

For example, I can run the mouse down to the bottom of the screen, which would normally scroll down with a real mouse, or down press on the button, and the mouse disappears...

but is actually located on the page, still... but over some item you can not see/get to. It will select the app or place you can't see, so it's a toss up what you are activating at that point.

My PIA redresses itself upon loading and works as on my FireTV2, lower resolution, but it does work.

I'm not sure of the differences with the change of OS, other than HDR and I suspect static screen resolution, as Mouse Toggle is off, and Cetusplay, as well.

I got my new FTV3 box and it remains in the box. It does support OTG per AFTNews.

http://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-fire-tv-3-supports-usb-peripherals-via-otg-cable-including-usb-drives-keyboards-mice-flirc-ethernet-hubs-etc/

They have some suggestions. I ordered a powered OTG cable and an USB A Ethernet dongle. I will be sending the AFTV Ethernet adapter back. With the OTG I will be able to plug in my existing powered USB hub that supports my Flirc, USB stick, KB dongle, and cheaper USB Ethernet dongle. I use a HDMI switching AV receiver so I am not happy with no HDMI input. I will get around that with an HDMI coupler.

That is if I get 3 out of the box. All the hoops to jump through is a downer. Reading that this thing will flood your screen with marketing crap makes me more leery. I may send it back and get a Shield. The only plus I see is the price. I got the Dot for $10 more offer. I can try it and junk it if it is annoying.
[Fire TV General] AFTVnews.com:
