What is dload? I've been out of the loop as far as tinkering with this phone goes. It's all stock, with no modifications whatsoever.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Looked it over. Looks like some method of extracting the update.zip file you can download using FF and installing the update.app (system fireware) from SD. P20 Pro ain't got no SD card so not sure if it can also working from internal storage.

Not looking to try myself since I do get regular OTAs if you call once in a blue moon regular. At this point I am just sitting and waiting to see if Emui 10 will eventually reach me.

Have you tried complete HiSuite backup and factory reset? Guessing you must have by this point.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
I've got a guide on here somewhere to install firmwares, can't remember the method myself but take a look it's easier than FF and the downloads are a lot faster.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Avengeme:
looking into dload you need an SDCard to use it, it seems....so that's a no-go as well.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] blufreak:
No, dload can be done via USB c USB stick or a standard USB stick and ota cable when no sd card option is available. I used it myself to jump from 9.0 to 9.1
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Avengeme:
I'll take your word for it, I've only seen instructions that say to format the SD card, haven't seen anything yet with the other methods. Don't suppose you have a link eh?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] blufreak:
Literally follow the instructions but instead of an sd card..... Use a memory stick lol. Se file structure etc. Same method (turn off phone, connect USB, hold vol up and power until see menu, select update from storage)

I have a Pixel 2xl which is factory unlocked,

not

Verizon unlocked. In order to root it, i believe that i first have to relock the bootloader. I haven't been able to root it, and i believe that this is why. Any info to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.:confused:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Badger50:
No, you do not need to lock the bootloader, and wouldn't recommend it as well! You'll need to install platform-tools on your pc, the twrp.img in your platform-tools folder, the twrp installation zip and magisk on your phone. Then fastboot into twrp, swipe to allow modifications, then flash the twrp installer.zip, then flash the magisk.zip, then boot up and you should have root :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Danny 0311:
I've got it set up, but how do i "fastboot into twrp"? I can get into fastboot mode, but where is twrp? Sorry, but i'm getting confused.:confused:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Droid_Nut:
The title of your thread, led me to believe you wanted to unlock the bootloader, and it was only carrier unlocked?

Actually when I rooted mine, Magisk said it was not rooted, after a reboot it was showing root? Maybe something quirky in Magisk? You may have root, but Magisk is not properly reporting it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Danny 0311:
Not stuck any more. Locked the bootloader, and i'm done. No root, no worries. Maybe someday, in a galaxy far, far away, i'll try again. For now, i'll stay unrooted and keep my sanity. Thanks for trying to help.:p

I preordered mine as well. Although, I'm one of the rare ones who never seem to have had a fp issue, and even now, with a TGSP on, I dont have an issue. Regardless, heres my results. Oh, and mines an AT&T variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tiho5:
Did your 2 phones come with pre installed screen protector?

Because its possible they have changed the screen protector somehow also.

Here is mine shot ..not any issues but it does take me a couple times to work if my hands are wet, etc ..View attachment 4737382
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
Yes screen protector feels exactly the same but I have no way of knowing if it's different.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Mine was made feb 18 and its horrible, maybe works 40% of the time, if i wet my finger it actually works better.

I'm itching to take the screen protector off and see if it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] memocatcher:
How are you guys getting a replacement? I wrote Samsung about it, since I experience issues with the fingerprint reader as well, also my S10 overheats in normal conditions and theres some kind of touch latency I noticed. Samsung told me, they would never replace a device and only "repair" it. So are you guys sure you are getting completely new and sealed phones?

Btw my s10 was manufactured on 29/01/2019
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
Yes new sealed device. UK consumer law means they have to replace it as the device was clearly faulty. I contacted my service provider who provided the device & explained what was happening and they arranged to doorstep exchange for the next day with the courier collecting the faulty device.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] memocatcher:
Hm there's no such law in Germany unfortunately. They clearly said they won't gonna replace the device.

Well, maybe the support have to say that...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
Interesting. On here it says https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/guarantees-returns/germany/index_en.htm

Know your rights and don't let them fob you off. Ensure that you're speaking to the company that you bought the device from BTW so if it was not Samsung then ensure you are speaking to the vendor about replacing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] SwordOS:
manufacturer date: 2/2/2019. No issues buy if my fingers are too dry, it takes a while to unlock. I always use it when my screen is on, after a double tap to wake, because when screen is off I easily miss the right spot

Fingerprint sensor works great, even with Whitestone Dome glass installed
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] memocatcher:
Thanks for pointing this out mate, I really appreciate it! Didn't know that.

Both of them, my seller on eBay and Samsung, said that a replacement of the device is not possible.

So I sent my seller the EU clause now, to inform him about this.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
It's German law as well so point that out. If they don't comply then you're able to take further action against the company. Make sure you ask for their manager's details and ask them to send you send you, in writing, under what legal statue they are refusing to replace the faulty handset with a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
Added. Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] evo85210:
2019.02.03 works well under normal conditions if i cover the sensor correctly

but barely works if finger/screen is wet, i dont have another S10 to test whether this is normal or not, but i'm pretty sure it's suppose to work even when it's wet?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] memocatcher:
So they answered me the following:

"It is generally about point 4 - disproportionate costs that would be present in the case. You would demand a new device and return a used one (even if only a few weeks old). In this case I could only offer you to exchange a faultless device in the same condition, with the same age. With a new device we talk about a difference of about 100 Euro compared to a new or B-goods device. That would be disproportionately high costs, according to which for the purpose of subsequent performance only the removal of the lack remains as an option.

The shipping costs for sending the goods in would of course be refunded, there is no question about that.

There would also be the possibility that you send us the device (without packaging and accessories), I check the condition, and, if it shows no signs of use, exchange it for a device from customer returns."

I don't know if I should do this. Because how do I know the device from the customer return is working flawless?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
Cheers, data added to first post.

Can confirmed that it should work even with wet finger. I've tested it right now with wet finger & water on the screen over the FP reader just to be sure again and you can see in this video how it worked: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zQfuA_l4O5uFDzxnkpLI3ZZ-jEC5S9LL/view?usp=sharing
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
I'm not a lawyer or fully up to speed on German consumer law but this sounds like absolute bull. They can't supply you with a faulty device then not replace it with a new one. I've had electronics replaced in both Berlin and in The Netherlands for new devices that had faults for new devices in sealed boxes.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] maddie01:
So, have we been able to determine with all the data that there is a certain date that we can say, for example...if the phone was manufactured prior to 2-28-2019 and we are having issues, we should return it?? again, this date is just an example
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
Yes, the goal is to get as much data as possible to see if there is some kind of pattern. Obviously we would need a lot more data before we can come up with any useable conclusion or patterns.

Fingerprint reader: Works well generally, if my finger is very dry it takes a bit longer to read.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] memocatcher:
Quick question: Is the fingerprint sensor supposed to work with wet fingers? I just tried it with my wet thumb and 7/10 scans fail. Otherwise I just noticed, the fp reader works a lot better now, after I've deleted and re-added my thumb. So I think I might not get it replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
Supposedly it shouldn't be affected by liquid. If you check the post below there is a video where I tested it with wet finger and water over the sensor
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
Cheers. Data added.

Can I just ask for clarity, does the it still read your fingerprint when the finger is dry but just takes longer to do so?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Thats one thing i noticed, if the finger is dry it takes many attempts, but when i lick it lol it works instantly.

Maybe when the humidity in the summer goes up it'll work better, its around 30% humid in my house now.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aussiesausage:
Finger print worked 60% of the time. I have added the same finger twice and it works every time now, so no real issues for me. But here is my data for you :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Its a pity you can only add 4 fingers, it would be nice if the limit was higher so you can double up every finger.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aussiesausage:
Yeah I agree, I only use my thumbs though so not a issue for me. Although it would be for people who unlock there phone sitting on a desk or something and want there index plus thumbs scanned twice.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
This is an interesting thing that I've been seeing in a few places where people are saying the similar things. Wonder why the moisture on the surface of the finger would affect the operation of the scanner? Does anyone have any ideas?

Within apps, I have 100% success rate and probably 98% with unlocking. I still have the original screen protector installed and because I only use my right thumb to unlock, I have all four set to the same thumb. My manufacturing date is 2019.03.03. This is with the US S10 Snapdragon.

Mine was made 2019.03.12

For lack of better terms mine sucks lol. Its really hit and miss and I end up using PIN more often than not. And when it does work its so slow...

I will likely get rid of the device due to this and go back to my rock solid reliable 9. I prefer the scanner on the back anyway.

I was skeptical about this since before I got it since its a Gen 1 technology and I was right it definitely needs much improvement.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kemby13:
Yes, the sensor reads my fingerprint when my fingers are very dry, it just takes a bit longer than usual... Sry it took my this long to reply, been very busy...

Btw, to the people who register all 4 slots to one finger, in short - you are doing it wrong... You CAN register all slots to 1 finger, but after that go to "chech added fingerprints" option and find out which of the 4 checkes out most times. Example, try to check your fingerprint 20 times, if you get Fingerprint 3 to show lets say 15 out of 20 times, keep it and delete others. This way you can add more fingers and still keep the ones that work best...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
The way I hold my phone, I would most likely never use any finger except my right thumb. I tried other fingers but none feel natural. The only thing I might change is adding my wife's fingers because there is the rare occasion where she may pick up my phone.

Oddly enough, mine reads better when my finger is damp. That 1 or 2% of the time I can't get my print to read can be fixed by licking my finger. I try to avoid that, especially in public. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kemby13:
Yeah, i also mostly use my thumbs (both of them), but sometimes i also use my index fingers (when my phone is on a desk and so on...).

True, i also find that to be true... FPS reads better when hands are a bit moist, i ussually solve the "dry finger" problem by gently blowing air on my thumb :D. Works every time lol :cool:

I can't be sure, but it seems to me like the sensor scans by reading the fingerprint leftover on the glass surface and not the finger directly... If you know what i mean. It makes sense to me because it obviously has trouble reading a dry finger, because the dry finger doesn't leave the print on glass like the moist one does... Hope this makes sense to you :rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoseth0711:
It still only works 50-60% of the time for me even after the update. If I'm going to send the phone in do you think I will gain anything from it? I can imagine that it's pretty tough to diagnose a scanner that works sometimes and sometimes not
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
Can only tell you that I returned my first phone after it started acting in an less than ideal manner and the replacement device has been perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Intratech:
Thinking about it, I can understand why. The OTA method will allow someone to intercept the patch and as such may then be able to access information regarding the workings of their biometric security sensors. Maybe using the Galaxy Store they can deliver it directly to the devices and initiate the patch straight away then delete any downloaded files.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] crossen0:
I am still waiting on the biometrics update. The Galaxy store still isn't showing it. I'm on the latest March patch for the US unlocked variant. How can I force the update?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
Maybe it was my timing but the update never actually showed in the normal store updates for me. I had a couple of the normal Samsung apps showing updates when I checked and a short time later I received a notification for the biometrics update. I normally don't receive any notifications for Samsung app updates so that makes me think that even though it came through the store, it was sent a little differently.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
You can't force it, just open the app store and it should start downloading, it's not going to show up in the app update section either.
