How about?

".....Changing CSC

*NOTE*Changing the CSC does not necessarily need the Google phone dialer like for the service menu, however, if you are on a CSC where the stock dialer does not provide you with the CSC change screen (Like when your code is XAA/XAA/XAA) you can attempt it through there and see if you can access it. I haven't been able to test this yet, so let me know.

First, go to settings->about phone and at the top you will see your IMEI. Press and hold on the IMEI number and you will get a popup saying copied to clipboard. Then, go to the phone dialer and dial:

*#272*

After you see the numbers dialed at the top, press and hold after the last * and select paste then dial #. Again, you should never have to actually press the call button. A screen will auto pop. If it does not, try the Google dialer......"

I can still change even after flash beta firmware :)

You should have this, to install the beta:

AP : N986BXXS3DUJ6

CSC : N986BOXM3DUH5

CP : N986BXXS3DUIF

So update your firmware with Odin (BTU for example) than try again.

Apparently they didn't include Android 12's "new" Autorotation Face Detection feature. I remember having it on my old Galaxy S5 ("Smart rotate") but they then removed it in later models. Can someone who also owns a Pixel 6 / 6 Pro please give me the global/system/secure setting (the one you can get/set with adb or Tasker) just to see if I can toggle it on (hoping the feature is present but hidden)? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: after finding the secure setting I tried forcing it on but the system crashes and reboots as soon as the phone is put in landscape. Too bad. I can't understand why they didn't include this feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] is0l4ted:
OK, so I'm currently in RSA (Republic of South Africa) with an Unlocked SM-N986B/DS (DS - Dual Sim Version).

My CSC was XFA (From OXM) and as on XFA, I did not had the latest November Update which is prerequisite, I changed the CSC to BTU via SAMKey.

As soon as I changed the CSC; XFA to BTU, I checked the update in Software Update and Voila!! I got the new November Update, I updated and I already had BETA 1 from the 1st post in memory card so reboot to recovery and updated from SD Card. And to my surprise it did not wiped my data.

Now I've 14 Credits left on SAMKey, if anybody wants my help please send me a direct message here, this is a help, I wont charge anything for this, but yeah Donations are welcome.

Please make sure you have TeamViewer, SAMKey and Samsung USB Drivers Installed before contacting me.

Thanking everybody who helped in getting OTA Links and the step by step guides, everyone involving in this scene.

Some apps are crashing including XDA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kta:
Wipe data and XDA app should work again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Leon:
Same for me. I discovered a few more bugs, which I'm not sure if anybody has already talked about:

Quick toggles can't be edited once are setup

Swipe gestures aren't working for going home and recent apps after a few hours of using the phone

most apps just crash and can't be opened

I really wish Samsung were doing better with this beta. They had to release beta N2 by now. I may go back to stock because the laggy animations are killing me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dr.ketan:
No issue with QS toggle edit

Not using swipe gesture so can't say

Not a single app crashing here

This first beta is very much similar to 4th beta of S21. Even I won't surprise if next will be stable without any beta.

Hello. I have a question regarding the return to android 3.1 of 4. Can I come back and how? Is it possible to return without resetting to factory settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Evil_Smiley_za:
Same here. I have no issues with this beta. Even my swipe gestures are working 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Evil_Smiley_za:
You can download the latest firmware via Frija or your favorite site. Just make sure it has boot loader 3. Flash it with Odin. You will probably have to wipe it. But while you are are going to do this flash the HOME_CSC first and see if it downgrades the device. If it does not then you will have to flash normal_CSC and that will unfortunately wipe the device. Just my 2 cents. Not sure if someone else has a better solution for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dr.ketan:
Many reports on bug are just user's own experience and not real bug. Agree many people don't prefer to wipe data but that's ok if you don't have any issue. Before term any issue a bug, device must be tested with wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] KeTuRr74:
I have some crash with 2 or 3 apps maximum but otherwise for me the beta is fine (dirty flash)

Working good and waiting for the next beta this week (i hope)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] ronieta:
To me only maps and gmail are crashing, fingerprint is much slow than before, the rest is working very well, waiting for next beta.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Tonyy1206:
Agreed! Most people don't know how clear an apps data & cache. Or a simple force stop to see if it sorts out ones porblem. I ran into apps that were attached to Game Launcher. Would crash immediately upon opening. A simple force stop and cleared the cache to game Launcher problem solved.

I occasionally seem to get a blank screen when turning the phone on from standby. Only the home and back buttons appear, but do nothing. I find turning the screen on and off usually fixes it after a few tries.

(I'm on a "clean install", that is using the update.zip then doing a full wipe.

Yea I sometimes get this, using Nova. App drawer becomes very laggy. Not sure if it's going into 60Hz mode, or just lag.
[XPERIA X1 General] arnisv:
Hi,

I got my black x1 on satyrday. started loading diferent programms to get other languages from paragon and some other , but nothng worked. then I was trying to change some registrs to unlock the extra rom. wich didnt work and after reboot it starts up with se and shows xperia and that was it.

so next day I went to shop and they without any questions give me new x1.

that was my first day with x1
[XPERIA X1 General] cHarOn99:
strange :D but i think thats the problem with hacking around ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] arnisv:
strange is that hard reset didnt work
[XPERIA X1 General] Nippero:
Wtf were you trying to unlock? what extra rom...

Hard reset just removes all of your settings, but you didnt screw with the settings, you screwed with the registry :P
[XPERIA X1 General] arnisv:
the rom where are all the programms that installs after hard reset

I thouht that registrs are set to default too !?!?!?!?!
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
Lol! Be careful with the tweaking next time around... they might not be nice enough to replace it so easily again.
[XPERIA X1 General] arnisv:
I know.

I`ll do my best.

but still my fingers itch
[XPERIA X1 General] msalmank:
So tell me... (this going to be my first WinMo device) can we easily reset everything on the set or not - if needed? Like you re-install windows on a PC and stuff?
[XPERIA X1 General] Nippero:
lmao actually im not sure, this is gonna be my first winmo phone actually.

But i guess you just messed up the recovery sector of that locked ROM ;p

youre lucky though. thats one advantage to buying phones from a retail store, just walk in and get a replacement no questions asked lol.
[XPERIA X1 General] nap007:
I'm also a n00b on WM but I think there is no a 'thing' as unlocking extra ROM in WM :D:confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] Nippero:
Nah windows always has a protected area where people normally arent supposed to go into. I've also seen retail computers with whole locked off partitions where all of the original programs and settings are stored, waiting for the consumer to screw up and use that restoration disk.
[XPERIA X1 General] netnerd:
strange. so many people able to buy X1. y is there not alot of X1 on ebay.com?

i really wanted this phone!
[XPERIA X1 General] Nippero:
All of the X1s right now are out in sweden. Maybe ebay has a separate site for sweden like they do with china/hong kong.

Plus, who in the right mind would buy and sell such a wonderful device ;p
[XPERIA X1 General] arnisv:
OK

The stick in se but is soft reset. I thoth its hard reset.

whot is realy hard reset combination?
[XPERIA X1 General] dothan:
Press power and soft reset together for at least 5 sec.
[XPERIA X1 General] JKingDev:
Registry changes do not survive a hard reset. So tweak away. ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] arnisv:
yes I did a test

added a string to registry and after hard reset it was gone

wich means that phone was OK that I returned.

I thoth that push button under cover is hard reset because couple times after messing with phone it hanged and pressing soft button it resset all(like hard reset)

I made this thead poll as a guideline so we can see how many people are/aren't having issues with their FP scanners. If you are having issues what are the main issues?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] m1ckbr1t:
I really don't have an issue with it and if Google's response to it's slow because of extra security then I'll take security over nanno seconds delay in unlocking my phone. Now that I have removed all the fancy useless animations, like I do on my phones it actually just seems as fast if not faster then on my S20. Yes when I 1st got my pixel 6 pro it did seem slower especially when like myself you have come from having Samsung flagship devices, I think a lot of the problems come down to muscle memory and now I've had my device for a couple of weeks I hit it bang on 9 times out of 10 just like my on my previous devices. It does what it's meant to do and that's secure your precious data on your phone. I wish I had a 3rd device so I could do a comparison video to demonstrate my unlocking experience.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] universil:
I had a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Switched to Pixel 6 Pro and the fingerprint sensor on the Pixel, for me, is much better!

I set them up the same, but I like that the light shines through my thumb, it makes it more obvious that I have it right. For me the Pixel is better, much better.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 400ixl:
Works as well as my OnePlus finger print reader, just fractions of a second slower.

Not had to change any setting such as animations for it to be reliable and just work.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Shipoftheline:
Been fine for me, I'm guessing those having issues have small fingers.............I'd still prefer one on the back
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dimm0k:
works alright for me, but definitely not as instant unlock as I had on the 4XL. sometimes though I need to hold my finger on the screen for a second and a half to unlock, but most of the time it's quicker
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
You needed another option between 50% and 95%. Maybe "most of the time but not quite 95%" None of the three options fit my experience, sorry. Oh yeah, one more. "I use smart unlock so it doesn't bother me much." lol
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] OnceAMatrixMan:
No real issue. It's better than the LG G7 fpr I'm coming from which would consistently stop working for days.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Deleted member 3193942:
Works better than the S20 Ultra and the S21 Ultra ultrasonic fingerprint sensor that I've used in the past.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ajsmsg78:
I had a Note 20 Ultra as well and I didn't like the FP scanner on it too much but the S21 Ultra's was accurate and fast. The Pixels is super accurate, just a tad slower but it doesn't bother me at all since it works just about 100 percent of the time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
Works fine for my usage...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bbacon:
I've been having a good bit of issues with the fingerprint scanner and they aren't related to speed., about half of the time the Pixel 6 Pro can't read my finger print at all. I'm coming from Oneplus 7 Pro that feels light years ahead of this fingerprint scanner. I've tried all the tips and tricks people have been recommending, which has helped, but it still says can't read fingerprint 50% of the time. It's very frustrating.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Did you re-do your fingerprints after the most recent firmware update? (november)

Also did you heed the fingerprint setup instructions? (full underside first, then sides, then the tip etc). Meaning don't mindlessly hammer your finger on the screen, do what the setup tells you precisely and exactly.

The system tells you what to do - if you do that, it should work without a problem. I got my finger in the system (4x times the same one, just re-do the setup with the same finger) and it works without a problem, nowadays I am getting about ~95% success rate. Even partial ones get through, even though they might take a second or two to register, but that's okey since it's just a partial one.

---

Btw concerning the video that was spreading through reddit, where someone claimed that his girlfriend was able to unlock his phone, without ever having it set up - I recently found that it's possible to use two fingers when setting up one fingerprint at a time (go with one full thumb, then when it asks for the sides, use the other finger from the other person) - that probably happened here, someone tricked the system and then spread fakenews to gain a few likes/attention.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bbacon:
Honestly, I can't remember if I re-did after the November update. I'll clear out my fingerprints and try it again. Thanks for the tip
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
You're welcome.

The fingerprint setup system was changed after the firmware update, so it's basically mandatory to re-do your fingerprints if you want a higher success rate.

It's a shame that Google doesn't communicate this directly, it should be a system message suggestion right after the update.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ajsmsg78:
What I'm wondering is that maybe some people ended up with a bad FP scanner? I mean it is a possibility since anything can be bad but hopefully we can get enough feedback to get closer to the bottom of this. If someone who has a bad scanner can try someone else's and see if it's still an issue that would probably help although it's not like everyone you know will have a Pixel.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mmafighter077:
My pixel 6 pro fingerprint reader works most of the time for me. The worst fingerprint reader I've ever used was the Galaxy s20 ultra. That thing didn't read my finger half the time so I just defaulted to the password.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] xray49er:
I didnt vote, but mines works about 80 to 90 percent of the time. but it sucks when it doesnt work. It seems it happens at the worst times possible.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CrashTestDroid:
It's good but not as fast, accurate or convenient as my Pixel 5 with the Ringke Fusion case and convenient finger-centering sensor cutout.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Same here with the Note 10+. I still kept using it but argh.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cloudraker:
Now that I better understand how to place my finger, it's fantastic. One out of every twenty fails, maybe.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacGuy2006:
My screen has been freezing on occasion when the fingerprint scanner fails to unlock.

The screen stops reacting and I have to press the Power button to turn it off. When I turn it back on, it works.

It had been happening on the unlock screen, but today it happened when I was trying to unlock Google Pay.

Anyone else with this issue?

Also, it periodically asks me to enter my PIN without the option of FP unlock.
