if you really care about security you'd use the password option, someone can easily grab your hand and press it to your phone too. you have to face the facts - samsung cheaped out on the fingerprint scanner module

Add it in this way, this is for the s10 but still works.

Guess you're cheap too since you bought one
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] zorzgeo:
FP sensor was too slow on OP6T too but devs do a miracle with it and it's speed.

Don't see what's problem on A50 to speed it up?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] zdeev:
I've tried this, but it's still slow and misses a lot of tries. I`m throroughly dissapointed in this option. Good thing the phone is pretty cheap, so I can replace it in a few months with something new. If it wasn't for the FP I would love this phone, but having to try 5 times for unlocking e.g. Lastpass is a downer.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] therealroyston2:
Mine never missed since I added it in this method. Also, I'm using a screen protector. Everyone's hands are different tho.

Some have slight wet hands so for them this could be a problem but if you have dry fingers then it will be better.

Yea good thing it is cheap, and hopefully they increase the speed of the fingerprint scanner through updates.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] zorzgeo:

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] zorzgeo:
Will try right now and report after that!

---------- Post added at 18:03 ---------- Previous post was at 17:50 ----------

All done and till now all is faster than usually but i must noticed something.

After FP adding and in couple of a minutes after adding all is fast. But if you rest phone for a couple of a minutes, trouble makes again (slow and unprecise and need a time to recognise finger...)... something weird.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] zorzgeo:
Just to report that sensor is pretty, pretty accelerated then before and the last touched finger lead on FP opening (in number of a good openings).

Enjoy.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] emanuel.caesar:
Hey you should try turning off the screen transition and priority switch to fingerprint. Go to Biometric & security - biometric preferences.

Somehow now it recognize the first attempt. Less fail.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] D@veMod:
I can confirm that the in screen fingerprint sensor is TERRIBLE! I had to turn it off, because it managed to fail my banking app 3x times in a row, resulting in locking me from the banking up. Fxxx-ing frustrating! I turned it off, because it just generates headache. I wish it would be on the back. I had an Samsung A8 (2018) previously, and back fingerprint sensor worked 100%... :(
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] x.shadow91.x:
Guys I knw you all have tried everything and it has made it better too. But the last thing you all need to do is. Re-register all the 3 fingerprints with light touch. Yes register your same finger thrice with very light touch. Biometric preference to be set as FP... And then its fast as hell.. no failures till now its been 2 days using it.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] MishaT81:
Possible solution

Hey, I've tried rescanning, putting fingers at different angles, pressing hard, holding long etc. and still it usually took 3-4 tries before unlocking.

Today I've found something that works pretty well for me. At first I tap the sensor just to activate the scanning, I take away the finger and then put the finger again for a short moment. The I repeat in case it's necessary, but from what I see tapping fast gives better results than holding the finger for long, so usually it's not required.

Hope this works for you too.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] darko150:
Any attempt to better fingerprint recognition is nothing more than a huge minus Samsung. After A50 more NEVER I will not buy Samsung. Making such a bad cell phone and selling it at a high price is to me insult customers.

Samsung - Goodbye
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] t3chg33k:
At least now there is an objective measurement of the fingerprint reader speed. 0.9s is not that bad, though slower than flagship devices as expected.

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Marko-xdw:
For me it wprks fine for one day,and then finger is unrecognizable.

So i nead to add it evry day.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] madd0g:
I managed to raise the hit level with recording the finger print like this:

1) record right thumb, raise and press down each time while rotating the thumb from all angles, name the fingerprint "right thumb" after,

2) record left thumb in the same manner, name the fingerprint "left thumb" after,

3) press one time with right thumb, then left thumb, while rotating both of them, name the fingerprint "both thumbs" after.

This way the third fingerprint contains records from both thumbs, so the hit level is increased for both. The finger positioning on the optical scanner (green circle) is still crucial, but this way the hit level is increased. You can test it out with the "Recognise fingerprint" option and see which recorded fingerprint gets the hit.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] anthondutch:
unsafe sensor

i dont trust the fingerprint sensor. when blue light filter is on, i can unlock my phone with fingers that are not registerd. i hope other update's make this sensor a little more safe.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] madd0g:
Yeah, in the meantime I stopped using it because it's inconsistent (it can work fine, then on the next unlock completely looses its ****).
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] Marko-xdw:

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] janzrokycan:
The video was uploaded on May 12th, since a lot of water in the rivers has passed and several Samsung updates have been installed. It can therefore be assumed that today after the August update the situation will be completely different / better. Maybe it is worth asking the author to test the scanner again with the freshest firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] pabgar:
After many month of erratic FP performance I managed to make it work. I tested the solution for over a week to be shure it works - untill I post..

I asked myself: how it is possible that for majority of us FP works unpredictable ( once OK, more time bad ) and for minority it works OK.

Software we use is the same. Hardware is also the same. What is the difference then ?

I came to idea that it is environment. FP hardware is crappy so it works good in some conditions ( humidity, temperature ), while in other conditions works bad.

So FP will work OK for peaple who live in stable environment.

What I did: 2 weeks ago I started to register my thumb in different conditions ( which I was waiting to happen )

1. Room condition

2. Hot sunny dry day temperature over 30

3. Rainy moist day temeprature at level 15

So I have registered my thumb 3 times but in different conditions.

Guess what ? For over a week after registration process I have over 99% of FP hit ratio. Never experienced such speed and stability

This works for me.

I foresee thet it will require reregistration in winter time - that all makes sense

Hi,can a50 conect to 5Ghz wifi networks ?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] louvass:
Sure it can !
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] PsychoTribe:
I have noticed one thing about fingerprint unlocking. If i try to unlock my phone and it failed the first time in most cases it fails all the way to the 5th attempt. What i do is turning ot and of the screen again after the first or second attempt and the FP unlock start recognise my finger again. Other than that it is very fast when working. even on the lock screen, not to say on bank apps like other mentions it.

I think it is only a lockscreen problem of some kind.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vostok4:
I purchased my SHIELD 500GB waay back when it came out. Unfortunately, just recently I went to use it, no picture. Reboot, no image, and just a buzzing sound from the case almost like a beep... I open the case, listen to the hard drive, and it buzzes like its trying to spin up but it won't spin up.

Tried taking it out and connecting it to my PC to recover the Widevine keys so I can use a public image on a new SSD, no luck, PC won't recognize the drive.

Does anyone know if its possible to get a working SHIELD back (starting from a new blank SSD, without the original Widevine key)? I doubt they'll RMA the unit since it is so old, and I don't have any receipt for it anymore.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripmatek3:
I have the same exact model and the same problem. Just recently bricked out of nowhere! I get that faint beeping sound from inside the unit and it won't go past the boot logo.

There's a torrent with all the files you need to reimage a new SSD.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vostok4:
An update to close my thread:

I was able to use the torrent with the files to flash the new SSD, but without my Widevine key (so no Netflix on the SHIELD). The booting process after flashing and updating was very weird, and the SHIELD now has a habit of constantly turning on itself and the TV. But, it worked.

As a preventative measure I mirrored my other 500GB SHIELD's drive to a 500GB SATA disk, and backed up the Widevine key so I can recover from a drive failure on that board at least.

[Touch Cruise General] Jorge Doutor:
My HTC Touch Cruise corrupts the microSD card filesystem very often. I installed SD Sentry to warn me of it so that I can soft reset the HTC and prevent the corruption to became permanent. I know there was a similar problem on the P3300 and HTC made a patch for it. Is there a solution for the Touch Cruise?
[Touch Cruise General] nahguam:
I doubt it's a wide enough problem to warrant a patch as there would be a lot more people mentioning this kind of fault. I suspect it's a dodgy connection in your SD slot. Have you tried re-seating the card?
[Touch Cruise General] Jorge Doutor:
Yes, I did pull out the card and put it in again. The problem remains. It doesn't fail while reading from it (nor writing), so I think it's not a bad connection issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] giri.sgc:
Hi,

I am using SM-N9500 samsung note 8 model - hongkong version, i frequently change the roms. when last time i tried to install a custom rom i lost IMEI and baseband. i am getting error like IMEI-unknown, baseband- unknown, no network and sim cards not working.

i tried installing stock rom, custom roms and even Combination files as suggested by CuBz90, everything was installed successfully but only the baseband, signal and IMEI are not working. i didnt even back up my EFS folder. So, kindly help me to get back my IMEI.

please find below the procedures i followed.

Old Stock - N9500ZHS4CRJ1_N9500ZZH4CRJ1_TGY

New Stock - N9500ZHS4CRL1_N9500ZZH4CRL1_TGY

Combo - COMBINATION_FA71_N9500ZCU4ARG1

1) Stock firmware-> Wipe Data -> installed Combo -> Checked IME -*#06# -> Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband -> installed Stock again

2) Stock firmware-> installed TWRP-> mounted EFS -> Taken EFS backup -> Then deleted all the folders and files inside EFS except Factory APP and ProvDATA -> Wipe Data -> installed Combo -> Checked IME -*#06# -> Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband -> installed Stock again - Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband

3) Stock firmware-> Installed TWRP-> mounted EFS -> Taken EFS backup -> Then deleted all the folders and files inside EFS(including Factory APP and PROVdata - now EFS Folder is Empty) -> Wipe Data -> installed Combo -> Got DRK ERROR ->Installed Noverity -> installed Stock again - Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband

4) Downloaded New Stock - installed TWRP-> mounted EFS -> Taken EFS backup -> Then deleted all the folders and files inside EFS except Factory APP and ProvDATA -> Wipe Data -> installed Combo -> Checked IME -*#06# -> Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband -> installed Stock again - Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband

5) New Stock - Installed TWRP-> mounted EFS -> Taken EFS backup -> Then deleted all the folders and files inside EFS(including Factory APP and PROVdata - now EFS Folder is Empty) -> Got DRK ERROR ->Installed Noverity -> installed Stock again - Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband

Note: for all the above steps, if i install the combo directly - installation PASS and i am getting struck at Factory Binary LOGO and then it bootloop, even waited for almost 15-20 Min even though bootlooping and not able to open factory binary.

So, i wiped data before installing COMBO, then it worked well and i am able to open Factory Binary. and for all the above steps i got unknown status for CP, P_SN, HW, Cal.D as Unknown(attached screenshot). dont know why?

if there are any steps that i need to follow please suggest.
