How did Google handle burning the Pixel screen? For MIUI rom, the clock moves to burn the display. But there is no such thing as PE, what solution do you use?
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] Creative9170:
I have same question, on cherish OS always-on clock is always in one place it can hurt display.
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] CRNO:
If it was going to burn the screen like you said, Google would have already done it for to protect its devices

I think the idea of burning only applies to big TV Oled screens and not for smart phones
[Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40] SplinterSeed:
My old Pixel 2xl have burn ins, but from Chrome and nav bar+status bar, not from the always on feature. The clock is simple to dim i believe

Hello,

i have an Samsung Galaxy A40s (SM-A3050) , and i would to install LineageOS to remove GAPPS (Google)

i find only a Rom LineageOs for Galaxy M30,

And i read that the Galaxy M30 is named Galaxy A40s in other country

Samsung Galaxy A40s (Galaxy M30) - Full specs

The Samsung Galaxy A40s is a different beast from the Galaxy A40. It drops the full HD screen for a much bigger battery. It is also sold as the Samsung Galaxy M30 in some countries and regions.

mobilityarena.com

Can i , follow the step for unlock, and root and install TWRP and install ROM LineageOS for M30 for my A40s ?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy M30 Questions & Answers] Akhil99:
Hi,

Yes, A40s and M30 are almost identical but please do not follow those instructions.

Unlock and root and TWRP are not the same, will need specific builds.
[Samsung Galaxy M30 Questions & Answers] Znovice:
Hello, thank you for your answer.

What do you advise me to do? Because I'm really going to remove all proprietary google services and tools, and use only open-source, currently all my installed applications for my daily use are from F-Droid, but it's not easy to remove google applications and services, so I want to have Lineage OS on my Galaxy A40s.

- Do I have to wait for a Rom to be made for my model ? checking from time to time the topics here and the Official Lineage website ?

- who should I contact to talk to him about it? apparently you are a Galaxy m30 maintainer.

I wish you an excellent day

Hello again,

I inform you that :

- I have unlocked the bios. ( and it is still the case now, I have a message at startup that informs me)

- but could not install TWRP recovery, trying to do so I blocked my phone for several days and then I was able to repair it I think by flashing the recovery and the Samsung stock rom.

For the moment I'm waiting and searching on the forums.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nighthawk626:
Ok this is beyond a joke now. Why in the hell would these morons remove face unlock only to add the absolute worst fingerprint reader I've ever dealt with on any phone I've ever owned. I never thought I'd consider going back to pin unlock considering that even the door to my house has a fingerprint reader. What are your thoughts on it?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] niko26:
Removing face unlock is very uncomfortable :(
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nighthawk626:
Sometimes I still pick up my phone and stare at it like a complete idiot for a few seconds before I remember that it doesn't have face unlock
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wolfeyes30:
Well people wanted it for when wearing a mask but this FPS is a disgrace. It was quicker lowering my mask and using face unlock then this trash FPS. I'm sure it will improve in time but I'm also considering going to just a pin.

I really don't understand this company. They add and remove **** on every phone they release. Soli in then gone, squeeze in then gone, face ID in then gone. It's ridiculous. But hey...we have a curved screen lol.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kevinireland11:
It actually is the worst FPS ever! I just hope it's not a hardware issue and can be fixed by software
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Try to just lay your finger on the scanner, ever so slightly, instead of pressing. Helped me.

I agree here, Faceunlock was beautiful. In an ideal world, we would have gotten Faceunlock AND fingerprint scanner (back).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] niko26:
Worst decision... Curved screen. It adds nothing valuable!! It throws shadows. It makes it hard getting a proper screen protection. Useless. Absolutely.

FPS is a good idea - if added additionally to face unlock. Sigh.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Norma Stitz:
Mine seems to be getting worse. 2 full seconds to register seems to be the average if it actually works the first time. About half the time it takes 2 or more tries. I'm coming from a scanner on a 5 year old phone that just works. I told myself I just needed to get used to it, but the opposite seems to be happening. The longer I own the phone, the more I just assume stuff will work, so I'm less careful with the FPR, etc.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] CrashTestDroid:
Mine's erratic with performance all over the place. Sometimes it fails, sometimes it takes 3s to work, sometimes the screen stays blank until I use the power button.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ilmar72:
I agree with you entirely. I was strongly considering returning this POS and jumping ship to iPhone. I think instead I'll keep it and trade it in on an s22 or something. Not sure I can deal with iOS either.

If i didn't break my p4 xl...I would absolutely have returned this as this is an inferior phone in every single aspect other than the camera
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wolfeyes30:
Exactly...well said 👍

When the rumors were flying around about this phone months back and it was mentioned that 6pro might have a curved screen.... I cringed.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gettinwicked:
I've got about 5 or so days left to return. I'm seriously considering it. First time ever with a pixel phone.. I can't believe they actually moved forward with this FPS. It couldn't have worked much better while they were testing it? I'm on the pixel superfan page on FB. Every post someone makes about the FPS Google declines to post it. Instead, they've put those of us that did in a different, hidden thread to talk about it. It's effing BS. They're hiding it instead of acknowledging it and saying they'll fix it.

I did find something that helps, sort of. I read an article about folks who have the animations set to .5 were seeing a bug where the fingerprint was gone from the AOD/lockscreen. Setting it back to default fixed it. I had the same problem, so I changed it back. The fingerprint unlock is a lot more successful now. Still total garbage, but better. Hopefully this helps.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] johninsf:
Unsure if I will return my P6P. However, for my first in screen finger print reader, this can't be right.

The FPR is so fickle. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Agreed that if anyone spent any time with this phone, they would know to fix the FPR.

There are a few issues I hope Google can resolve soon: FPR, auto-brightness and antenna (if there is a software fix for antenna hanging on to weak 5G signals instead of moving to a stronger LTE when it is available).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah mine was returned yesterday back to ATT store for this same issue, used it one day and went back into the box most horrible FP I ever used, I had had to eat 55.00 restocking because of this crap oh well lesson learn!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NUGZZ420:
Mine works just as good as any OnePlus phones I've had in the past few years
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EeZeEpEe:
It's working very well for me but that's because my expectations aren't ultrasonic sensor ones. The accuracy has been very good but it's the speed that varies from pretty quick to 3/4 a second. Key thing is to press and hold until the haptics confirm or deny it. With that in mind I rarely get misses. Maybe a handful a day. Could it be better, sure, but it's not total trash.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
That helped mine changing the animations then changing it back. Seems to be better, hope it lasts.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] scott.hart.bti:
Wow... You loose absolutely all credibility when you say the pixel 4 is "better in every aspect other than camera". That is just an idiotic comment. I understand you can't please everyone and there will always be a handful of people that'll complain, but come on... You are being absolutely ridiculous.

BTW, not understanding how y'all are having the negative experience. Been using fingerprint since day 1, and maybe had 1 or 2 times where I had to try a second time to unlock the phone. Only negative thing I can say is it does seem to be slightly slower than other fingerprint phones I've used before. I'm sure Google will address it or someone will modify the kernel source to improve the overall speed. It feels like people expect to be 100 percent satisfied in every aspect and if something only reaches 90 percent, their brains explode and the world is coming to an end!

If a slightly delayed (we're talking tenths of a second) fingerprint reader is such a deal breaker and calls for all this complaining, I can only imagine how y'all deal with everyday life. Just saying. 😁
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] stetre76:
Same here - my FPS is working just fine, maybe just a bit slower than the one I had on my OnePlus 7T Pro, but still nothing to complain about...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cultofluna:
Fp working properly for me...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MrBelter:
Mine works fine with a film screen protector, it is no worse than another under screen FPS i have used which is to say not as good as a capacitive one, it just feels slower because there is an extra step involved.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] foobar66:
OnePlus FPS is better, faster, more accurate ... period, no discussion ... mine is OK-ish on the P6P ... I registered same finger multiple times ... hopefully Google will still improve it with some upgrades
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kurdes:
Thats real strange, my fpr is working perfect! As long as i keep the finger on the sensor till haptic confirms, i get absolutely no misreads! Ive had One plus, Samsung and other devices and i must say, this is the best fpr ive had so far...little slow but absolutely reliable!

There must be something that makes the performance so different for us!?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EeZeEpEe:
I think a lot of people lift up too early. I too find the accuracy just fine.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
works fine for me, cant wait until everyone that keeps saying they are going to return it actually do so.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 400ixl:
Working fine for me and is as accurate as my OnePlus 6T FPS sensor. Marginally slower by milliseconds but nothing of concern.

Light touch works better but you need to have also set it up with the same light touch making sure you have a wide spread of your fingerprint captured. That is no different to any other phone either.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ilmar72:
Listen you tool box. You can't discredit me for my opinion. Cause my opinion just like yours is just an opinion

Like I stated: the only thing I think this phone does better then the p4xl is camera/ video related tasks. Ok this phone is also more atheistically pleasing.

Overall; I liked the pixel 4xl better. It was a better overall functioning phone.

Let me ask you this! Do you seriously think one SINGLE iPhone user would ponder dumping their iPhone for this phone? As soon as they hear the fact that there's no face unlock and instead a week fps... They quickly stop thinking about this phone
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
Let's take the temperature down a notch. There are valid concerns regarding the FPR. I was glad to get rid of face unlock on the P5 because of masks. It was easier to put in my pin than pull down and then pull up the mask if it was a tight fitting N95 or surgical mask. The P5 was pretty flawless but if the P6 series gets as accurate then it will be more functional since your thumb is in the exact right position vs moving the device around to get your FP on the back cutout. I would love if they give us face unlock in addition.

After reading multiple posts on this issue I saw that some are having almost zero issues. So what was I doing wrong? I tried moisturizer which worked well until my hands were dry. I tried dry fingers but they didn't work all the time and it got very frustrating. Then I deleted them all and took my time and slowly added two fingerprints. This was probably the 10th time I added them after deletion. But I don't really know what changed because now I get 9 out of 10 successes if not more. Don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. If you like the device otherwise keep at it, it really does work.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
Seems to work fine for my usage so far....📴📱👇
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
the fact that this phone ghost dials contacts and doesn't charge as quick with the 30w as they say is a huge disappointment. there are new issues literally every day since this phone came out
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] comediiian:
Sure .. charging with 24 not 30 .. what an huge disappointment .. unbelievable ..

FPS works like that of the 9 Pro or 11 Ultra .. sometimes laggy, sometimes not accurate ..at least for me
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] wilpang:
Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones, even with a screen protector. The fingerprint reader works fine for me all the time.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] darbylonia:
If you are a good modder, you know that one of the first things you do in Developer Options is set ALL the animations to .5 or lower!!!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mko000:
That causes problems on the latest Pixels though.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] darbylonia:
I didn't know - thanks for the info. I have mine at .5 with no issues but will change back if needed!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
had mine on .5 since day one and zero issues
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] zymphad:
At least you can add post-processed fake blue to your photos right?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DragohD:
I'm an iPhone user pondering trading in my phone for a 6 Pro still lol
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mko000:
Changing animation speed on Google's Pixel 6 series can break the fingerprint scanner on AOD

If you change a specific, advanced setting on Pixel 6, it can have the side effect of breaking the fingerprint scanner in some places.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nuevosean:
My problem was setting my animations to 0.5x when I initially set up the phone as I normally do. Changed it to 1x and all is well now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ilmar72:
Okay I'll trade you my phone for 13 pro Max. I have the 512 in black
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DragohD:
sorry I've got an 11 pro max currently lol
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
Yea, still no issues on mine
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Burt Squirtz:
I always turn my animations off completely. Like zero. The device feels so much more zippy and snappy.

I'm also getting zero problems with the fingerprint reader. It works perfectly. All you have to do is turn on increased touch sensitivity under settings. Turn off animations. The FPR is accurate and blazing fast now.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bouchigo:
I think you meant "Increase touch sensitivity".

You threw me for a loop there for a second... 😂
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NUGZZ420:
Maybe for you I've almost every OP Don't move made and I still don't find it that different. Good luck though
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] andre0005:
it's pretty meh. better than on my oneplus 6t but worse than my oneplus 7 pro. can only get better with software
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
After re-adding my fingerprint after the firmware update, I now have a ~ 17/20 unlock rate, so I'm ok with that (I should note that I added my primary finger four times to make sure it's known from all angles).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 400ixl:
Been monitoring this more since people are talking about it so much. Over the last 3 days I have had a 100% success rate with the fingerprint reader. Probably used it a hundred times plus now.

I have only set up one thumb print and when I did I made sure I only pressed lightly on the screen and made sure I moved my thumb around quite a bit whilst setting up. Now I just lightly put my thumb over the fingerprint icon and wait for the vibration before moving it.

I created the thumb print before I did the November update and have not done a factory reset at all.

I still miss the face unlock from my OnePlus 6T, but the fingerprint sensor is as good as it is on that phone and whilst it is maybe 0.1 seconds slower to unlock it is not causing any issues at all for me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] shadokreeper:
I'm not having any fingerprint reading issues. I had a OnePlus 8T before my P6P and the 8T is worse. Once you get use to finger placement for the optical reader, it's not that bad. I don't really use face recognition so I can't complain.

The only issue I am having is my UI keeps randomly crashing, usually when a notification comes in. I have to force reboot the phone.

The thing that bothers me is that Google left out features from Android 11, such as the customizations in Wallpaper And Styles, the toggle shortcut for Adaptive Brightness. One thing I also hate is that they consolidated the Wifi and Mobile Data into Internet, so now it takes extra clicks to switch b/t the two.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] galaxys:
Fyi, Google is always late to our XDA party 🥳😳

Google says unreliable Pixel 6 fingerprint unlock is a feature, not a bug

We thought the Pixel 6 series offered a poor fingerprint unlock experience compared to other phones. Now, Google has given a reason for this.

www.androidauthority.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gee2012:
My FPR works quite well imo. I registered every thumbprint twice, that made it even better.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Sammae7:
I have both thumbs and both index fingers saved, with my left thumb saved twice. Under controlled circumstances, like in my house, it works 8 out of 10 times easy. I took my son to the park today, with it being a little cold out, my fingers were a little dry, which drastically affected the FPS. I was locked out several times. I've been through a lot of devices and this is one of my least favorite scanners.

Even the lift to wake seems a little delayed. There are times I'm staring at the screen for half a second after taking it out of my pocket before it wakes.

I actually wouldn't mind two scanners, one on the back and one under the screen. No unlock is faster than a back scanner, as you can unlock it before it's out of your pocket, but you have to pick it up to unlock it when it's laying flat on it's back, which is where the under display scanner comes in..l
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] japanicana83:
I ended up bouncing back to my unlocked 4 XL because of the time I was losing with the FPR. I'm holding out for some software updates, but 2...3..4..... disabled and pin req'd gets old fast. I want so badly to love this phone but this FPR...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EeZeEpEe:
Do you press and wait for the haptics to confirm or deny the reading? Also, do you have a smart watch? I use Smart Lock all day.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
This is huge. Every time someone changes to using this method is usually positive. I added my thumb once with "increased sensitivity" enabled just for fp setup. Then when unlocking, the lightest touch works all the time. The sensor is really "sensitive" and the technology is different from the rear sensors most people are coming from. Those rear fingerprint sensors were like 15 years in the making and the actual tech behind it is different (a lot more forgiving that's for sure).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] cultofluna:
Ive noticed that with haptic feedback enabled, FP is more accurate...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DinarQ8:
I wish I could live that day and know what you are going to say when use Apple fingerprint reader
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ajsmsg78:
I disagree. My FP scanner works just about 100% of the time. I can push down as hard as I can or tap it lightly and it works all the time. Changing the animation speed changes nothing for me except the animation speed :ROFLMAO:. It's not as fast as some others but the fact that it works well doesn't take anything away from this phone for me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
You sure about that? this phone is a joke 🤣

Android Police: Some Google Pixel 6 units can apparently be unlocked with other people's fingerprints.

Some Google Pixel 6 units can apparently be unlocked with other people's fingerprints

Not only is the fingerprint scanner slow, it might also be insecure

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
the time youre losing? lol.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kondi10:
For me the fingerprint reader has worked really badly from day 1. After I finally updated the software I decided to delete my fingerprints and redo everything. For the past few days I'd say the accuracy is 100% and way better than my pixel 2xl. Finally I do not unlock my phone accidentally in my pocket like I used to do it. Also slightly wet hands are not a problem anymore. It may not be as fast, but it works better at the end, at least for me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DocWalt:
Exactly my experience as well. Had a ton of issues with my 3XL & 5 with the rear fingerprint sensor just *not* working when my fingers were sweaty or wet. The 6P doesn't seem to care, it's really nice
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I just did the same at your report of doing this. Although I rarely had any problem at all, it does seem to be even better for me than it was already but I'll have to see over the next few days if it's a placebo or really has made it even better.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mikemod:
Makes quite a difference, FPS is very quick now and hits everytime.

As you say the phone seems a lot snappier with animations off.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
Imagine turning off animations on a phone just to get fpr to work properly.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
FPR works fine for me the first time, every time without disabling animations. I know that's not everyone's experience, though.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
it is mine. No idea what people are doing to make theirs not work
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MacGuy2006:
It's not the worst FPS, but it's on par with most Chinese phones, which is not great. I was expecting worse based on the posts here...

I wish they have a solid face unlock, which is really the most reliable, in my experience (the Apple implementation).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bouchigo:
Mine works fine with animations set 1, 0.5, and off. I feel bad for those that are having issues.

It's starting to look pretty clear that Google needs to fix animations on Android 12, as it seems to be causing issues with the FPR functioning properly.

It may not work faster, but hopefully it will be more accurate.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] benjmiester:
TLDR there's a fix that ACTUALLY WORKS BELOW.

Just wanted to spread the word in case anyone hasn't seen yet. Google released a PSA that the problem is due to increased security algorithms. In short it takes longer to read because it wants to verify better than others which will accept a lesser match. So there's that for one, they may have been faster, but were less secure. Not a big deal in my book. I doubt anyone was going to past it.

Anyway....

The fix is to press down firmly. This works both as is but I went and re-registered mine with a good firm press while doing all of the different motions and found that sure enough it's way faster. Plenty fast enough that I'm actually happy with it now though further improvements are still always welcome. It's still not as fast as an actual touch sensor of course. I never really had any misses either way, it was just slow before. Maybe once out of 30 or 40 times I'd get a fail to read.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] orlans21:
Got the phone today and to me the fingerprint feels the same from my galaxy s10+ which I had no problems with
