[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] bbtee:
I don't quite understand what do you mean. But for my mi 9 lite, when the screen is all black and only has a few places of lighted up areas, those pixels seems to last a bit longer after it had brightened up.

Idk if that's just what AMOLED does.
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] k3lcior:
This is normal for OLED screens, i have seen same effect on Samsung Galaxy S3 - S9, Nexus and OnePlus phones. ;) Black = off pixels. When they turn from black to something else, they need to turn on. This causes a delay, which leads to the blurry purple affect. It can be slightly annoying but the colors, saturation and contrast outweight the con's IMO, i dont see myself coming back to IPS. :)
[Xiaomi Mi CC9 / Mi 9 Lite Questions & Answers] OnlyTimoteo:
It also happens to me in the Mi 9 Lite. It seems to be some technology used on the screen.

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] NexusMofo:
Hi all, delighted by my brand new device (exynos) but a strange behaviour occured when I installed my company MDM.

Impossible to unlock with the fingerprint, in the settings the biometrics section is greyed out.

It was working fine before. As soon as I removed the professional profile, it worked again, and as soon as I set it up again, it didn't.

Strangely enough, the MDM allows the fingerprint to log into the professional apps (like Boxer).

Anyone here uses a company profile with the S10e ?

Sounds like a bug or a company restriction? It worked fine before with my old MotoG5+ with an outdated security patch, and my colleagues with other types of Galaxy phones don't have this issue.

Thanks for any thought.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] RobboW:
I use work mode and Microsoft InTune. The fingerprint sensor works normally. The sensor itself is a bit annoying but the operation is as intended.

The fingerprint settings have an option for fingerprint always on.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] jklaren:
Same thing happened to me. My company uses VMware Intelligent HUB in a work profile. After installing it, could no longer unlock with fingerprint. Options are grayed out in security settings. Uninstalled the work profile and I get fingerprint unlock back. Since the only thing I needed was email, I'm just using the web interface in chrome (how is that more secure???). It all worked fine on my pixel 2, so this is specific to s10e. I refuse to install the work profile if it disables the fingerprint unlock. Emailed my IT department to see if they can change the policy, but not hopeful about that.

Hello,

Having an issue in any app that requires pinch or multi-touch, in google maps, I cannot pinch to zoom, In pokemon go I also cannot use and pinch to soom, or multitouch features. I have tried factory ressetting and problems persists, anyone else having issues with multi-touch?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Do you have a screen protector on it? If yes, try removing it and seeing if that fixes it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Robisgnarly:
I wish that would be so easy, no screen protector, had one on and took it off that was the first thing i tried, than did a factory rest and issue persists, even went into dev options and turned on the touch overlay, and it does not notice multiple touches at once.

[Walmart Onn Tablets General] datashifter:
EDIT - This is for the Model 10005206 (7 inch Onn tablet)

Go to "Settings."

Tap "System."

Tap to expand "Advanced."

Tap "About tablet."

Rapidly tap "Model & hardware" at least 5 times - if you go to slow, the Device Test app will not launch. You gotta tap fast.

For giggles, click the "AGINGTEST" button and enjoy what appears to be a music video embedded within the tablet itself - it plays the video even without connectivity. :confused:

I stumbled upon this while trying to fumble my way into turning on Developer Options.

Kinda makes me wonder what other hidden gems there might be...
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] TechX1991:
Found this myself lol There's not many others, as I've dumped the system image, but I've thought about releasing ROMs where I replace that APK with a game of some kind
[Walmart Onn Tablets General] datashifter:
If you can provide the .APK, I would be appreciative... Might be fun to load on another device.

[Samsung Galaxy Fold Themes, Apps, and Mods] _sC:
although i am still awaiting shipment of my device, there are still questions about the device that pop up from time to time.

i think i've only heard 1 person talk about this from the galaxy fold videos i've seen, and it was for a brief moment, so i'd like to clarify with the users who already have their devices.

for anyone who is using Nova Launcher on their galaxy folds, is it true that it is unable to act like the samsung UI, where the front screen and the main screen act like 2 different instances?

i would like to have both screens act different from another of course, but i would hate to lose the functionality of the gestures feature from nova.

thanks for any replies
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Themes, Apps, and Mods] searley:
You are correct it does not work that way
[Samsung Galaxy Fold Themes, Apps, and Mods] _sC:

Hi

I'm considering getting a pixel 4 but I do banking with nationwide and Halifax. Is the face unlock compatible with these apps? My pixel 2 has the fingerprint sensor which works a treat but that's not much use on the 4.

Cheers!
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] p70shooter:
Mine doesn't work with natwest. With Xposed you can make faceunlock work like a fp tho. I also saw someone say it's down to the banks so they need to be hassled about it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Demolition49:
I am a little frustrated with this on my pixel 4 XL.

I bank with HSBC, Metrobank, Natwest, Capital one and Barclays.

I gave them all 1* reviews as an incentive to fix it.

I also sent emails to the developer contact options, and asked all my friends to do the same. Hopefully this will speed them up.

So far the only one I know who's working on it is HSBC.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Mackay53:
They're all working on it. There's just no rush as entering a password is very easy

1 star reviews is hardly going to change anything
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] croques:
Hong-Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation - a Chinese company. In China it is reported they will soon insist on facial recognition to match a person's Photo ID card before anyone can use a smartphone. So they are ahead of the game.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Demolition49:
That's exactly my point, if you don't think hundreds of 1* reviews won't make a company think about speeding things up, that seems awfully strange.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Mackay53:
Not strange at all.

Why invest time to rush something through that only a tiny proportion of users will use.

Pixels aren't that popular so a lot of 1 star reviews is hardly going to make a dent in their ratings.

No point rushing it through when entering a password takes 2 seconds to enter.

Some may also hold back until Google release face unlock with eyes open
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dave5777:
Google is forcing it on DEVs, after this year if they update their app they will have to add it if they still want to support finger print unlock. I've been using the Xposed Finger Face on my root Pixel 4 XL and love it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] palexr:
Yes still no pixel face unlock.

Two things though. Firstly, despite the name, it is NOT a Chinese company, it is registered in the UK. The bank was established when HK was a British colony (and a bit of Shanghai was an International concession). Secondly they might as well be though, they have just now announced they support the Chinese abrogation of human rights in HK.

Hence why I have switched to Nationwide, which apparently does work with the Pixel 4 btw.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] palexr:
More a reply to my own post, but the Nationwide app works flawlessly with my Pixel 4's gave unlock.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] JCM800:
Face unlock STILL doesn't work in the UK for me with Lloyd's bank or Argos. Very disappointing.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] m+a+r+k:

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
First Direct is still a no and I don’t think they are even planning to do it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dwj:
Last pass password manager supports face unlock so at least you don't have to enter a password for any apps that don't support it natively.

As does Bitwarden.

My 3XL stopped working and I just got the 4XL yesterday. I use HSBC for my business banking and I now have to carry around the little security keypad device and generate a pass code every time I want to log into my account...cant even use a set password.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Ultraman1966:
Well, in a few months I will move on from the Pixel 4 XL but it is shocking just how few major apps support Android's latest biometric API which would allow seamless use of fingerprint or facial scan for authentication.

Galaxy Note 9 on Att. Most recent security update is June 2019. I've spoken to Att and Samsung, tried safe mode, reset, etc. Nothing works so far. Any suggestions? I'm concerned that if I'm not getting security updates am I missing OS updates as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] macgyver40:
Not sure when the camera features came out.

Did you try the Samsung computer app to update?

What about Odin and loading the newest build?

I am terrible at instructions but these 2 PC apps might get the job done.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] hunter49686@gmail.com:
I did try Smart Switch, it said all up to date. ATT guy said he could see updates but nothing we did could get them to load. Suggested Samsung who I contacted. Tried safe mode, etc. Finally he suggested local geek squad at Best Buy to use Smart Tool to update?? I stopped by but they said they couldn't help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
this site(xda) is plastered with posts on how to use Odin and download the latest firmware/software for your phone and flash/install it.

step 1 search and read about what device model you have.

step 2 download the firmware( system OS) for your device model. web sites and utilities can be used to downlaod the software. frija and sam firm tool are both utilities developed here on xda. search for them.

step 3 research about odin and how to use that tool to manualy update your samsung device with the extracted file downloaded on step 2.

xda is a do it your self type of site. usualy searching would answer all your questions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] butchieboy:
What bober said. I have had this issue with At&t since Note 8. Don't get them on Note9 or 10. At&t is horrible at ota's. Some get them some don't. I have always had to flash them with Odin. And they are even worse at posting their firmware. I think the last N9 firmware the post was 1ARG6 or something like that.

My SM-N950U Still Rooted Note 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] nuclearrage:
I have had AT&T for awhile, and noticed once I switch to unlock phones bought from Samsung directly, I get the OTA's more consistently. Of course this is a sample size of one.i currently am on Novembers 2019 update on both my note 8(no sim, just use as mp3 player) and my Note 9(daily driver with AT&T sim). Honestly I didnt even check for updates, and just get the notice automatically about new updates being ready to install.

I would wonder if something else is wrong, like those above said. Odin to a clean install of the correct firmware and you should be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Yommih:
Does using Odin trip the Knox of a samsung ?

I haven't gotten any update since February, 2019. I have been skeptical about using Odin to update, so as not to root my phone or trip the knox
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] paul_59:
No.

Odin is for flashing official Samsung firmware

So Knox remains intact.

Flashing non Samsung custom roms custom recovery and rooting will trip Knox *permanently

Thank you, I really appreciate this. I'll go download the firmware from sammobile

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
When I have lost IMEI before, flashing stock filmware has resolved it for me.

You are getting that error in Odin as you are trying to flash bootloader 5 over bootloader 8. You can't downgrade the bootloader version. You need to download the latest filmware.

I take it you updated your phone in the last couple of days to be on bootloader 8. Just download that same filmware and it should flash fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] D-Mak:
It works now!

I have downloaded the last available ROM and I have flashed it with Odin and to start everything went well.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
First off, did you back up your EFS folder before flashing a rom? You should always do this. If you did, try restoring the EFS with TWRP.

If that fails, flash stock filmware with Odin. The thread below gives you all the information you need to do this. At the end of post number 2, you can download Samfirm, this is an excellent program for Pc that will allow you to download the filmware much faster than a free SamMobile account or Updato.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
You can download from SamMobile, you will have to create a free account so you can download. I suggest using ADM (advanced download manager) as your internet is not good, it should let you carry on downloading if it gets interrupted.

Here is the filmware link (SamMobile is safe to use)

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note-8/firmware/SM-N950F/XSG/download/N950FXXSADTB1/325565/

If the download in Samfirm stops at any point the download becomes corrupted, and you have to start again! So this way should be better for you (SamMobile)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] zdarkstranger:
Thank you, I have a free account, but this site is very annoying, just does not allow free download, like force buy, that will never happen, I WILL buy another Mobile if I have to but will never pay to download from SamMobile site. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
Maybe it has changed, I have not used it for a good while, you used to be able to download for free but at a very slow speed.

You could try Updato.com, but I'm not sure if it has the latest firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] zdarkstranger:
Thank you so much again, you are a great person, I got a super site, lets you download the ROm like free ans super fast, I used Jdownloader , I could not find proper ADM most were viruses as soon as it got downloaded the Antivirus blocked it saying virus.
