To each his own. Many people don't take well to new technology and refuse to accept that they may be part of the problem. Your problems aren't the norm for the phone and the few reporting problems here are a fraction of a percent of the people buying the phones. Good luck on your next phone, may I suggest a flip phone.

I think I'll go with something that will give me a significantly better experience like the Pixel 4...assuming they get rid of that hideous notch.

Lol.. I've had every version of Samsung for the last 8 years. Im going back to Note 9. This phone is a disaster.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Mudig:
So something really odd happened today. I've been complaining for a week on this phone's fingerprint reader on how unreliable it is but today it read my thumb every single time I pushed against it all day. I didn't do anything different at all. I really can't explain it, was it because my fingers were less dry today? Could the phone actually be adapting to me? I guess I will continue with this trial.

This is much better for me, about 90%+ after the ASBA update.

Samsung statement on the matter

“There can be many occasions where users find the fingerprint scanner doesn’t work well, for example, when you are in a dry environment, or when your finger skin is really dry, or when you have a scratch on your fingerprint,” Samsung told the*Korea Herald*this week.

“The accuracy has been improved through the first update of software recently just in one week since the launch, and we will continue providing updates to make the scanner work better.”

Try pressing your finger at the flatter area. I was having trouble unlocking the screen at first, but I realized I was placing my finger toward the tip.

Not only that, they break things worked fine while fixing the old bugs. It's like the endless cycle of break/fix.

I got accustomed to using it in a day. Left the screen protector on and turned on touch sensitivity. Just put my thumb over the actual different spot and press. Works 99% of the time. I'm sorry for those that don't give the screen a chance because it works differently than what you're used to. Also it is working better after the update. This phone is amazing!

The sensor on the glass is a bit to left of the fp icon now my finger works everytime ! screen protector on, sensitivity on. with flash light i see the u shape sensor litle to the left of the print icon. works for me . i did notice after a shower the print dont work very well , lol cream your hands.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] gilbnx:
Interesting experience for me today...

In general, the FP reader worked fine (with workarounds of higher screen sensitivity and scan the same finger twice) BUT today I was on a back to back long flights and the FP refused to unlock during the flight. What I noticed is that my hands are dry (happens in long flights due to low humidity) so I thought I'll wet my finger a bit... And Bang! My FP started to work much better.

I wonder if this might be the case for folks who has a more dryer skin due to weather/ambient air or other conditions and this makes the ultrasonic scanner gets a reliable reading?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
There is already a quite long discussion here somewhere about it not working well with dry hands.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] rudolph22:
This! I had so much trouble and hate for the sensor until my wife suggested trying the middle part of my thumb instead of the edge. For anyone having issues, try deleting all the fingerprints and start fresh. When adding your print make sure the middle part is over the sensor (for me it's the more spiral part of my fingerprint). Move it a little during the training but mostly the middle should be be over the square.

That worked 90% of the time but the next day it quit... down to near 0%, very frustrating! So I signed in and added the same thumb again the same way (figured my thumb was swollen or somehow slightly off the next day). Now with the same thumb added twice in those different conditions, it's been working 95% for a week or two. Did the same process for my other thumb and works great now!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Zer0b1ade:
Yea it is a pain at first ....less so when that I found out you can scan 4 prints for verification

Just hope the phone isnt in landsalcape when you scan

It's still a pain some times esp

when one switches hands. Why limit to 4 scans I demand for 10 so i can scan every angle my thumbs may on the stupid God forsaken scanner that too small to be scanning anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Warthog01:
Similar problem. Works maybe 25% but interestingly, the FP reader works much better with external apps that use it (Banking, etc) than it does for unlocking the phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] v3ngence:
I get reliable results with a full thumb print vertically right in the center:

The sensor itself is actually quite small so it's easy to miss if you come at it from the side:

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
That's what I find many times. With my bank, insurance, PayPal, etc, it works 99% of the time, but unlocking the phone almost always takes 2 to 4 attempts.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] elbee222:
I decided to use pattern for unlocking and fingerprint for apps. It was frustrating unlocking via fingerprint while driving to use navigation or switch music/podcasts.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] nviz22:
Hopefully, future generations of this tech involves a full screen sensor where no matter where you touch, it could work. I notice having a vertical angle is better than a horizontal angle too on my S10.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] deezknuts:
Theres a new fingerprint update that's being released. I received it last Thursday and has helped tremendously.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] rnrnrn:
Correct - I find it so too. Very fast and working well. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] doggydog2:
Updates or not, fingerprint reader is super awful. It's so bad, it can't match with 6T or Mi9 at all. It works inconsistently in different light conditions, has high error rate, requires finger pushing, special angles, or best different fingers (smaller better). However the only finger i plan to use is the right thumb, otherwise this login method doesn't make sense.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] alexcapone:
I am noticing that the FPS works better when my hands/fingers are cold. I think warm/hot hands cause my fingers to swell and make the ridges on my fingerprint less defined. I believe the reason I have had so much trouble with it is because I live in a hotter climate and my hands naturally run warm.

FYI, I am using a Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] niro44:
So here is my situation:

I had a 3.27 radio with a 3.xx rom (one of the DCD roms). I wanted to get the 3.35 radio so i decided to flash to the SPRINT 3.35 rom, to do so i had to relock the phone so i used Titan Re-locker (which may have caused the whole problem) and now I am stuck at the SPL 1.06 screen.

I tried flashing older roms and still no luck.

I am currently with Telus and only flashed the SPRINT 3.35 rom to get the 3.35 radio off it. WHat do i do? I haven't bricked my phone right?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] niro44:
I have tried to flash Sprint 2.09 and SPRINT 2.17 roms and have failed. The bar goes up to 1% and then restarts the phone back to the SPL 1.06 screen for any flashes i try to do.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Ok there's a WHOLE mess of problems with this post. First of all, if you read correctly in the kitchen thread, radio 3.35.04 is REQUIRED for any 3.x.x rom. 3.27 WILL not work. Second of all, you do not need to relock your phone when installing the 3.35 sprint rom, in fact, that's what caused it to break as the 1.06 bootloader will not flash or boot a 3.35 rom or radio. The only way to fix your problem right now is to flash the stock telus rom and radio using the microsd flashing method. Once that is complete, you need to unlock again with Olipro 2.40, and then run the sprint 3.35 update.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Sprinttechy:
sux 2 B U. I highly doubt it is bt\ricked, you just dont know what U R doing.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] corey113888:
This it what I did...

I did not need to relock. I started the sprint update with the phone booted up to the titan in Hard-SPL mode(miltucolor flash screen) . It reboots to the Hard-SPL several times to finish it and may pause several times. I just let it run. Keep an eye on it, it is done when it boots to a regular boot screen. Dont let it finish booting and then manually boot into Hard-SPL (PWR + Camera + reset with stylus) and flash DCD 3.0.4. I did the same process with the alltel update to get 3.37. You will be left with the bootscreens from the Sprint or Altel rom, but booting to DCD rom with 3.37 radio, GPS, exct....

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] senor360:
But...

The options he gave are still helpful for now though, as not only can you enable the rear flash, but the front screen to flash yellow when you receive a message. It's something at least for now. I just hope Samsung pushes out an update to enable the ring around the camera to be used. Just makes total sense since they removed the LED notification. :fingers-crossed:

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] izephyr:
Circle of Light does not exist. The only thing that exist is the possibility as this is the actual screen and not any special hardware. The same edge lighting like concept can be used to illuminate pixels around the camera. If samsung does not do something, let them release the source and give us access to api's. we can do it ourselves. We just need to modify the edge lighting feature to shrink it to camera cutout and increase timings etc. I am feeling so lost without the notification LED. My pre order does not have a cancellation option. If I had I would have cancelled.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] lishuoxa:
Will the ring light has potential burn in risk?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] izephyr:
Should be. If you closely take a look at the camera cutout and the front camera animation, you'd see it's a part of the actual screen. So, It have amoled burn in risk unless or if samsung can access the pixels through hardware directly without actually turning on the whole screen.

I just buy a two-handed phone from some people and yes, I forgot to check properly that they erase their Google Account to prevent FRP. I struggle to unlock this FRP lock. TalkBack bypass is not working since it is 7.2.0 version and since this phone didn't enable USB debugging. I can't run any command within ADB. I tried multiple ways to bypass FRP like SMS, Trying to USB debugging with *#*#2846579#*#* code, Tring to flash the ROM but not working at all. Can someone recommend me what to do?

What device are members wanting, getting, or waiting for, and why?

I'm itching to replace my perfectly working 18 mo old 2 XL, and would like ideas for selecting my next device.

Many users on Xda are way more up to speed on new devices, specs, reviews, and which devices will likely have more dev support than others.

So I figured I'd ask the lot of you 2 XL owners what you're thinking about getting in 2019, or what you're waiting for in 2020.

Hi guys,

I've been searching all over internet a solution to my problem with my Gear S3 frontier and my Nokia 8.

They are paired. I receive all the notifications, calls... Only one thing bother me, it's that I can't control spotify with my watch.

Everytime spotify is launched on my phone , I can see on my watch that my phone is playing something. Even more, I can see the cover of the song on the music app on the watch. Problem is, if I want to skip or pause the music, It's wrritten "please connect to the phone " but they already are connected. It's the same problem with spotify app for the watch.

I've tried factory reset on the Gear S3, I've uninstalled all samsung apps (samsung wearable, gear S plugin...) still the same.

My friend has an S3 classic with a mate 20 pro and it works fine. Plus, when I connect my watch to his phone, I can control spotify !

I pretty sure that it comes from my phone. Do you have any ideas to fix that ?

Thank you very much for your help !

Google acting like A-holes about call recording. If anyone finds anything that can give us this again in at least the same way the ACR did, please share here. I would like to use this thread to help us gather updates and any info regarding bringing call recording to our S10 devices. If you are like me, you understand what an important and useful tool call recording can be. It's protected me from fraud and abuse over the years and I hate to see it go.

I'm interested too, after some research in my opinion best solution is change csc country to have native call recording enabled by default on original dialer.
