Just got the new update here in Finland. Had a really hard time registering my fingerprint again.. I wiped cache and rebooted the phone but the registration wouldnt move past 41% Finally after many tries i managed to register it. Then I switched the screen off and when i tried the fp scanner there was no icon in the screen.. it just said "fingerprint scanner is not responding" or something like that. I rebooted the phone again and now it seems to work normally. I have to say the scanner seems to be more reliable now.

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sunspark:
I have a Canadian A70 and installed the October patch last night. This was a jump from May directly to October. It definitely made a huge improvement in the fingerprint scanner. The photo quality is more or less the same, weak and struggles with colours and oversmoothens, I don't expect this to ever change. I think somewhere between May and October, Samsung changed the display panel characteristics. Text doesn't look quite as sharp as it did in May, almost as if it is being anti-aliased more heavily, but I also suspect (I cannot prove this, but I think it) that the PWM rate was lowered because my eyes feel tighter looking at the screen than they did before.

I've got this update through SEK channel. FP is the same as in ASI2 in my opinion. They updated kernel (Linux localhost 4.14.83-16843479 #2 SMP PREEMPT Thu Oct 24 19:09:19 KST 2019 aarch64). The big problem is that nfc stopped working with this update. Cannot add card anymore. It says that sth is wrong with the phone. It hasn't been rooted, warranty void: 0, knox:0 , firmware: official.

UPDATE: I know whats wrong. After update ASJ3 Google Play shows device as uncertified. How's that even possbile?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sunspark:
Interesting. You might experience issues in a few other apps such as Netflix and banking. Maybe you should contact Samsung through their members app or something to report the problem.

about android 10 on A70:

the launcher UI is laggy and not smooth like android 9, like switching between apps and...

the battery life is very bad, drained battery over the night by 5% I never seen battery drain in android 9.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sunspark:
Back up your stuff and factory reset the device.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] JaY_III:
More like works 50-60% of the time now

Much better than the 20% of the time it was before, but the finger print reader is still painfully slow and flaky

Your update size is 200mb only when it should be 375mb... Weird
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sufyan3D:
It works 99.9% now and pretty fast too. Did you wipe cache partition by booting into recovery after phone got updated? Did you delete old fingerprints and register new ones multiple times after update?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] JaY_III:
I uploaded that screen shoot as I haven't seen anyone show the update for my version of the phone

SM-A705MN.

Like I also said, this is the second update in May I have received.

I did not.

Just using what was already stored.

I just re added a finger and its seems to be working better now. However, re adding a finger normally works for a while anyways, but does look promising.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] dannejanne:
My touch gets laggy sometimes on this new firmware I did not have this on previous firmware. Turning off and on the screen fixes it when it happens.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] shaawjee:
Yes mine also, before update it was fine for me, after updating it gone worst. I tried removing the earlier fingerprint, and added new one few times, but it is unusable now.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] crucius:
Still nothing here in Portugal. I bought the phone yesterday and I already can't stand it due to the terrible fingerprint sensor. Overall the phone is very very good, the camera is amazing, especially because of the wide angle, but this damn fingerprint sensor is very frustrating indeed, it rarely works (also, why does it only allow to save 3 fingers? I would have preferred at least 4)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheMrM00n:
yeah im facing laggy screen too with the new update. It goes crazy sometimes and touches where it does not have to.

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] finac94:
In my case, not really that much. Maybe 50% improvement but still doesn't work as good as it should. And yes, I deleted my old fingerprints and applied new ones (2 for the same finger in all directions and pressure points)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] crucius:
Same here, it improved around 50% on my right thumb, 30% on my right index, and around 10% on my left index. Not good enough!

Finally got a update here in France ?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] ApexPrime:
Guys it doesn't say anything about the camera part in the update I received, so is it safe to assume they did nothing to improve my camera in this update? Btw the fingerprint sensor is definitely better now but it still fails to recognize my fingerprint most of the time even though I've used all three slots for just 1 finger. Therefore, I would recommend you all to use face unlock instead as it is much faster and unlocks on first attempt, unlike the fingerprint which usually takes 2-3 attempts.

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Moosa86:
Samsung have pulled the update due to it bricking some phones. Has to do with earlier models having a different PCB board and the only way to fix it is for Samsung to replace the affected device's board with a new PCB which is almost impossible with the worldwide pandemic.

Please avoid the update till it is rectified.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] GBry:
Is it stated which models are affected?

Is there a way to find our pcb version
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Moosa86:
Update:

"Samsung was contacted for more clarification on this and the company looked into the matter. It did suspend the update’s release temporarily as a further investigation was underway. The affected phones were shipped to its headquarters in Suwon where the investigation found that this was an isolated case. The device that suffered this issue had a counterfeit sub PBA which likely caused the code mismatch.

Given that this was an isolated case and there have been no widespread complaints about this from other Galaxy A70 owners, Samsung says that if users experience a similar issue with their phone, they should get in touch with the company’s service center."

No sure when the update will be released.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] fizzingbees:
They always say its an isolated case.

A similar problem occurred in android 10 in Samsung A50 A30 and M30 devices where the android 10 updates messed up battery and charging resulting in unusable devices.

Counterfeit sub PBA.. Really? .. Where is quality control, sleeping?

Samsung android 10 is having issues for multiple devices. Even s20 device tree has its own problems with android 10
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] ScottThijs:

I don't know much about is but it seems that the CSC number doesn't say anything about the build date or version of the update.

Look at this comparison:

First the software we all installed from the Ukraine, then the version from Spain witch you got and last the BTD1 version from Portugal.

The version from Portugal was build on the 6th of March, the version of Spain was build on the 30th of March.

Portugal PDA number A705FNXXU5BTC2

Spain PDA number A705FNXXU5BTC5

Regarding this update, i'm going to return the phone to the store. Reducing the camera to 21 mp is just cheating the costumer. Either by the fact that tthe camera is in fact a 21 mp with 32 mp software or a 32 mp camera reduced to a 21 to hide the bad photo quality of the software.
