[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
Google forums are a joke, this issue has *nothing* to do with Android11 or 12... and no, there is not a fix coming from anywhere. You're going to have to fix it yourself. Have you removed and re-added your facial profile at least once or twice since this started? Have you been able to replicate in safe mode? How can you know it is not a hardware issue if you don't test the sensors? It's just one step in the process of elimination. Try these and you may discover something you didn't know before.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Matzeus:
How can you say google forums are a joke when literally hundreds of people are having the same issue? I dont want to believe that we all have hardware issues. Otherwise the hardware would be some hot garbage.

I removed and readded the face multiple times already.

I booted into safe mode. It works there. But like I said, it also works after a normal reboot for some hours/days before it needs a reboot again.

I also did test the sensors, no errors there. However my next step is to run the test when the error is present.

Any specific suggestion on which app I should use for testing?

Thanks again.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
@Matzeus

No specific sensor app. Facial data is stored on the Titan M chip, and the only way I know to wipe that facial data and potentially fix it is by doing a factory reset from the stock recovery. Fastboot flashing will not wipe the Titan data and even from recovery is only a partial wipe. If you've ever had TWRP installed, there is a looong thread on broken face lock there. FDR from both recovery and setup would be my next suggestion.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Matzeus:
@v12xke

In the past i ran the factory default from the system settings, didnt help. After that I used Googles "Android Flash Tool", which didnt help either.

Additional information: the device has never been rooted or anything. Always been on stock firmware.

Anyways, small update on the whole thing:

The issue occured again, I ran the app "Soli Sandbox" and it simply didnt do anything. So far so good.

After closing Soli Sandbox and clicking on the face unlock option in the system settings, magically everything worked properly again. Even without a reboot.

I am not sure what solved the error now..

I guess its safe to say, that all motion gestures stop working once the problem occurs.

Will keep this thread updated as I find out more.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] sufy1000:
I've had absolutely no major issues with my Pixel 4 XL's face unlock. I've upgraded from android 11 to 12 and still working perfectly. Yeah, i get the odd clean the bar notification but goes away after a bit and it just works.

The face unlock is fantastic on the Pixel 4 XL 😎
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Matzeus:
The march update claims to have brought some improvements to Pixel 4s face unlock feature. At least thats what they say in the official changelog.

Biometrics

General improvements for face unlock stability & performance *[4]

Lets see if the problem is gone now. Will keep this thread updated.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
It's uncannily good. I keep the phone upright in a cradle by my PC so I can monitor it, and all I have to do is turn my head to peek, and it unlocks every time. It's pretty amazing. I've never had a problem with it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Matzeus:
The last official update didnt help either. My hope for a fix from Google is gone.

-------------------

I have now installed LineageOS. Its been a week and Face Unlock is now working perfectly fine.

Will keep this thread updated in case anything stops working ;)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] puzzlefighter:
Still going strong? And did you notice this issue on Android 10?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Matzeus:
@puzzlefighter

Still on LineageOS 18.1, no Face Unlock issues since I installed the ROM.

I am honestly not quite sure if this issue occured on Android 10 already. But i think so, yeah.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] puzzlefighter:
Thanks. I've got a new 4 XL that definitely has this issue but I didn't spend much time with it before updating to 12 from 10. It's a real PITA. I've never installed a custom ROM, but thinking I may need to do what you've done as this is irritating af.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Matzeus:
@puzzlefighter

Just go for it man.

I was so upset about face unlock and i regret that i didnt install a custom ROM earlier.

Share your results afterwards please if you installed a custom ROM :)
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dorik-xxx:
this is not a hardware problem, but a software one, it started with the release of android 12, the problem is not in the face unlock sensor, but in the proximity sensor, it sticks, as if it was closed with a finger, I use Pixel experience + 12, this firmware does not have this problem, I'm disappointed with google developers(
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] brokboi:
Dumb question, but any of the phones you're having the issue with have the cutout for the face scanner on the top right of the protector you're using? Or not? If not did you try removing the protector sheet/glass altogether?

I need write access to the data folder.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] starovdarkness:
Just thought i'd share this real quick... have trying to get access back to my app data folder so I can add custom texture packs to my dolphin Emulator games.

So I thought to myself, app permissions, hmm and went to my settings then to apps and searched for file which brought up the built in file manager from Samsung... I pressed the three dot menu up in the corner and chose to unnstall updates which reverted it back to factory default.

After doing that, I opened up my Mixplorer app and went to try and access my app data folder again and this time, when asked for permission to use folder, on the select folder part, the option to use the app data folder wasn't grayed out and it actually let me choose it.

It worked!! I finally am able to see the data folders in there once more.... ACCESS GRANTED!!!

Just need to uninstall updates for your built in file browser...

I'm on a note 10 plus but Samsung is Samsung so I figured I'd share it with others just in case it might work for them too.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite  Questions & Answers] elpa02:
Hi all,

After Redmi note 6 pro which was working as it is supposed to, I have tried Redmi note 8, Redmi note 9 pro and now is am with a mi10 lite 5g (monet) but I still face connectivity issues regarding Bluetooth. I am many hrs in my Skoda kamiq with an bolero infotainment. Mi 10 connects to the infotainment rapidly and the FIRST call is handled correctly so I speak through the infotainment. BUT the second and all other calls no matter incoming or not are made via the phone's earpiece. Each time I have to pick the phone and choose the car option via the menu of the dialer's calling screen.

Since there is an audio connection to phone active shouldn't be the one to receive calls?

Could it be a Bluetooth connections prioritization issue ?

Can I prioritize somehow Bluetooth connections so to ensure that if car is connected then all calls be made through the infotaimnet?

Shouldn't the current handsfree bluetooth connection be the main to handle calls?

What if I have 2 connections to the phone active at the same time (eg a bluetooth handsfree and the car's infotainment)? Which one is in priority?

And why every time the first call after been connected is sent to the infotainment while all the rest to phone's earpiece?

Except it's something totally different and i am looking for in the wrong way.

Any suggestion is appreciated

Thanks in advance

Work for a local insurance company and because of the COVID restrictions / work from home requirements in place in the UK...

...just noticed that Android 12 now blocks connections to VPN connections setup to use L2TP/IPSec PSK

Whilst its not a massive issue, as the majority of VPN connections are done from Windows and macOS devices, its still a pain in the ass!

A quick google reveals a lot of people are moaning about this, but no clear workarounds to speak of.

Obviously the fix would be to change the authentication requirements on the VPN server side of things, but with a couple of hundred employees working from home, that's a no go!

Anyone managed to find a workaround?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bmonteiro:
While I usually don't use the company's VPN on my phone (there's no real reason for me to), I feel your pain.

Maybe a VPN application from PlayStore can fix this for you? While this config that you use is the native VPN from the device I believe a custom application can fix this for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Wmateria:
I use Expressvpn, but that is a paid one, there is also ProtonVpn, and it's free.

[Xiaomi 11T Pro] goodsale:
It is better to do this procedure with the bootloader unlocked.

Also pay attention to the anti rollback control, where you risk bricking the phone.

If it happens only with the pro version you can act with EDL.

I went from the Vodafone Rom to the European one but it wasn't that simple.

As for the miflash there is a new version of october that works better with the 11t.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] zentg:
Or does it switch depending on your carrier?

for example go to settings, about phone, software information - then go all the way down and for service provider software version does it say xaa/xaa/xaa?

mine says att/att/xaa even though i have the xaa firmware flashed. My device is xaa which is why the third one says xaa and I bought it directly from samsung

so just wondering if the first 2 say att because i have an att sim and it installed some kinda carrier software?

What does yours say?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
I don't have a U1, but my understanding is the 1st att/ means that's the active csc (accurate in your case). The 2nd att just means it's single sim, if it had att/att in that position it would mean dual sim. The last being xaa is accurate as it signifies country / region phone was mfg for.

In my case it says xaa/xaa/tmb. And that's right I think as my sim card is mint mobile (t-mo mvno), so the first xaa is probably because mint isn't a carrier. The 2nd xaa same as yours, single sim, and it's probably going to use the code of whatever the first one is, either once or twice (dual sim). And last, min is a t-mo device originally, so accurate.

A funny thing for me, just used odin to update to latest xaa today. Now, as opposed to prior, my device says it's a G973U1. No mistake, it actually says that now, it used to say G973U. No big I guess, as I think it only looks at the last part of the csc code to know what variant it really is.

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] schwinn8:
@AsItLies is correct. You can't get the last one to change because that's what it's built for. It doesn't matter anyway, as it's just info... doesn't affect operation. Some carriers may blacklist devices based on IMEI, which would be the same as that last CSC (for example, Verizon, my previous carrier, would do this often, even though the phone works just fine since the software can adapt).

The first is active carrier and the second is SIM, as noted. Mine shows TFN/TFN/SPR (TFN = Tracfone... my carrier is a subsidiary of TFN called TotalWireless, so this all makes sense).

It’s a great tablet, but seems way too outdated. Google play store won’t even open. I really would like to update/upgrade it. I was thinking of installing Linux on it. I watched some videos on installing Linux on android tablets but the people say you need certain Apps to do it. And like I mentioned I can’t even open the play store.

Does anyone know any other ways to install Linux without having apps to do it? Is there any other options of other ways for me to update this tablet?

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Converting an Android device to a Linux device in principle is possible. It can be done in several ways. But some of the manufacturers may have some hardware oddities that aren't documented, which makes it more difficult to install something else on Android device: Usually the firmware bit is extremely difficult to get working with anything else than the original system. you will therefore end up missing lots of hardware features!

If you are a kernel and firmware expert, then yes, it is possible.
