[Google Pixel 6a] slugger410ft:
I haven't messed with the screen saver options. My Play update shows October. I was really just looking for the FPR update. My phone stays in a mount in my car and having to try and unlock was a son of a gun while driving. It's all good now.
[Google Pixel 6a] bobby janow:
It's actually under display settings at the bottom called "screen protector mode". I was just curious since I don't use one. But in a car it was impossible to unlock. Almost like as soon as it detected the engine start the FPR was non functional. Being facetious of course but I obviously had the same issue.
[Google Pixel 6a] slugger410ft:
I thought that was maybe what you were talking about. I currently have it off and haven't had any issues. I tried toggling it before the beta and didn't notice a difference.
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
I have that option off. I have glass protection. On stable 13. Have never had an issue with the FPR. Just saying. I'm not denying there's an issue. They address it directly in latest beta update, so, though it's pretty damn good as is, it will be interesting to see if it is improved, eg quicker taps and less deliberate placing of thumb required.
[Google Pixel 6a] Proud2banoob:
Turning the option off made a huge difference, for me. I am going to be cautious about saying it's fixed, as I've had periods where everything worked great and then suddenly turned to garbage, again. Cautious optimism?

I'm running A13 with no screen protector.
[Google Pixel 6a] batp:
Will not work 90/100 times in standard finger configuration. Wet my finger, works for about 30-60 seconds, then stops working.

meanwhile pixel 3a scans right away every time
[Google Pixel 6a] edufur:
I have the opposite problem. My right thumb hardly works at all, even though I have registered it many times. My left thumb works more reliably. And strangely, my thumbs work better when wet than dry. I think the back scanner was WAY better. I really hate seeing the sensor when my phone is out in the bright sun.
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
Are you placing thumb deliberately and flat down?
[Google Pixel 6a] Proud2banoob:
Fixed various issues for Pixel 6a devices that made it difficult for users to unlock their device or to set up Fingerprint Unlock.

From Android 13 QPR beta1 release notes. Now, if we can just get it released to the 6a....

Google Pixel Update - September 2022​
[Google Pixel 6a] crankiro97:
It's way better now
[Google Pixel 6a] edufur:
Of course.
[Google Pixel 6a] Fabster62:
it's working alot better for me. Three fingers recorded and they all work consistently so far for the past few hours.
[Google Pixel 6a] Proud2banoob:
I finally installed the update and the FPR seems much better. Of course, it had good and bad days before....
[Google Pixel 6a] localbus:
when u left the phone untouch for some time... it will not work again... but once it start to work... it will have better possibility to work...

left inactive again... it will stop working again....

with or without screen protector is still the same...

Additional improvements for fingerprint recognition and response in certain conditions [Pixel 6a]

this statement is a joke...

delete and reregister... it works for awhile.. and back to error again.

worst pixel ever....

at the end... just remove the PIN and fingerprint...
[Google Pixel 6a] Proud2banoob:
I have the opposite result. It's been great on my DD and i have a second 6a that i hardly ever touch. The FPR works great on both. This is my favorite Pixel, beating out the 4a.
[Google Pixel 6a] miljenko:
Hello, Pixel 6a users. I would like to share my experience with fingerprint reader on my Pixel 6a.

I only have a problem unlocking the phone, but FP works flawlessly in applications (eBanking, Google Wallet, etc.) Anyone with a similar issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] DenisEhm:
Hi everyone.

TLDR: Is it currently possible to root a Canadian (W) variant of the S22? I find the new XDA search hard to operate, but from what I see here and elsewhere US versions are a no-go, but I don't see the W version mentioned, so I want to clarify.

Long version: I've used Samsung devices for a long time, and mostly had Exynos variants. Problem is I live in Canada where the version is the Snapdragon one since the S8. This meant my S9 Exynos had horrible reception and compatibility with local carriers. When came time to update, I went for a Pixel 6 but there are things on there related to dual SIM usage that really bother me. I'm thinking of maybe going back to Samsung since we can now do DSDS with an eSIM and a physical one!

But... there's the question of root. I really want to keep root; don't really care about custom ROMs or tripping Knox for that matter, but I use root a lot in automation and backup, and that's something Samsung is horrible for, at least with stupid locked BL in North America. I want to weigh what's more important to me before I switch devices.

Edit: the reason why I don't want another Exynos is because of compatibility issues I've had in the past with carriers. On paper the phone should have been 100% compatible, but in reality it wasn't and had very weak signal. Carriers in Canada only support whatever phones they sell, even if you can use any device you want, so I'm trying to ere on the side of caution. That's why I'm weary of using an international version of SD as well, in the event those are also problematic...

Thanks!
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
The omina has some fancy animations to rotate the screen when you turn the phone back and forth from portrait to landscape. Can this be duplicated/ported over to the HD?

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk1ZF3bcPMo
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
Lots of views but no opinions? :D
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
Well it looks pretty cool, would be great to have that on HD!!!
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
Mind you just got to the end and the last few make the device look a bit slow and unresponsive.
[Touch HD General] SomethingWicked:
That's krazy!! Me likie :D I'll be waiting for some eye candy like that!!
[Touch HD General] Oppressa:
Yeah they're pretty much only put in there to give the device time to load the new screen.
[Touch HD General] chromex87:
Very nice feature! Would be great to have on the HD!
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
Yes it is eyecandy (like Dynamo Task switcher) which is why I like it. We need to impress iphone users lol!
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
I am bumping this thread again because I would really love to see the Omnia animations on the HD. Anyone willing to work on this porting project?
[Touch HD General] promexx:
i dont think that it is so easy to do that though i would love it.

but the hd hasnt even the landscape option in every app. as we have to use gyrator i dont think it would be so easy to add that kind of animation :(
[Touch HD General] ohnec:
can't extract this of the rom from omnia?
[Touch HD General] bonesy:
You can have manual screen rotation set to hold the left softkey if you enable landscape in settings then go the buttons,Select rotation then when you hold call it'll rotate every app.
[Touch HD General] Xeon:
I find it really useless, it takes too much time rotating the screen when you are instead, trying to make the device more responsive and faster.:rolleyes:
[Touch HD General] Major_Sarcasm:
What was wrong with the original thread about this? Discussions have been taking place about the Omnia ROM and links are present for ROM dumps.
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
What was wrong with the original thread? Well this thread WAS the original thread which was started on 18th November 2008. The thread you refer to as the 'original' was started on 27th February 2009 :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deb352567:
So I unclocked my a10s bootloader and wanted to flash twrp, after flashing it, I realized I can't enter recovery mode, if I keep pressing the power + vol up it just shows the bootloader unlock warning and keeps bootlooping, when I let go, it boots normally, at first I thought it was a twrp prblm but then after it booted I tried to enter recovery and it didn't enter (I tried via adb as well) after that I again flashed the stock ROM using odin; same result, is there something I am doing wrong?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ALyoshaNL:
In our new home, we have an intercom system (Urmet Ipercom Max 7" IP Monitor) that runs on a custom tablet running a rooted version of Android 5.

The ROM has been completely stripped of all functionality and settings. What's left is:

- Gallery

- Camera

- Browser (default Android 5 browser)

- And the intercom app

When trying to download APK files using the browser, the browser app force quits/crashes as soon as any download starts.

There is no file manager.

In settings, you can only access Wifi and some theme and display settings.

There is no About section (i.e. to enable developer settings) or anything like that.

No way to put the device into USB debugging a.f.a.i.k either.

When I connect the device to my computer using the USB cable, nothing happens.

However, when I reboot the device (hold power button >5 sec, and then again to turn it back on) when it's connected to my computer, the screen stays black till the very second that I unplug the USB cable (so something does happen).

Does anyone have any suggestion on how to gain full access to this tablet? The end goal being to sideload some additional apps (i.e. Ring doorbell, Calendar widget, etc).

Thanks in advance for any help!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreas__:
Assuming you are using windows:

Is there any entry in Device Manager when the tablet is attached?

During boot or if you plug in while running?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ALyoshaNL:
I don't see any device appear or disappear when plugging or unplugging the tablet, nor on rebooting the tablet :/

It looks like the tablet waits to boot when USB is plugged in, because after removing the cable, it's shows a black screen (with the backlight on) for a while, and then slowly Android loads (system bar, then button bar, etc).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ALyoshaNL:
I tried sending files over bluetooth. It accepts PNG for example, but it doesn't accept APK. And there's no way to rename the png file to .apk, because there is no file manager.

I tried to do file:///, file://sdcard/, file:///sdcard/, file:///storage etc in the system browser, this just gives white pages.

Trying to download any file with the system Android 5.0 browser instantly crashes/force quits the browser (yet long-clicking images and choosing "Save image" is allowed). Security on this thing is SO tight and I have no clue how they managed to do this on Android 5.0...

Anyone got any ideas on how to get anything done on this device?

I also tried DroidKit, but I cannot wipe the device (that would remove the intercom software, which has been configured with specific codes, and it will cause my warranty to be void if I remove them)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ALyoshaNL:
Does anyone have any idea? Are there ways to put a tablet that doesn't have volume buttons into recovery mode, without having USB access?

This is one slippery fish . The only case available is £25 from Nothing . . anyone have any other sources for cases ( Spigen being a favourite ) ?
[Nothing Phone 1] blackcell1:
My thoughts exactly, it's fell of my bedroom stand twice. When I know for well I placed it fully on. It's time for a case 😜
[Nothing Phone 1] Sib64:
You will find some cases for Phone(1) here

As far as a Spigen case is concerned, I think you'll have to wait until the Phone(1) becomes a little more known, even famous :geek:
[Nothing Phone 1] Karun_Thomas:
Instead of a bulky case, I'd go with the phone skin with the glyph light cut-out, covering the entire body of the Nothing phone. I got this skin from Gadgetshieldz which is very easy to install and personally for me scratch and dust proof are more than enough! It is grippy now to use the phone!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K0mraid3:
Disclosure: I'm intentionally editing build.prop to feel out the limits one can tweak it, I'm fully aware I can completely brick these devices doing this. ​

With that said, ive encountered an issue that replicates on different devices and have no clue as to how or why.

Target Devices:

Samsung S21 (USA-TMB)

Samsung S22 (USA-XAA)

LG V20 (USA-XAA)

LG Velvet (USA-TMB (MTK))

Google Pixel6 Pro

All devices above have been rooted and i have patched bootloader and VBmeta &/or Preloader.

On ALL of the above devices, when i edit the build prop, it simply edits into a blank build.prop. This was replicated using Root Explorer Pro, Rom ToolBox Pro & SmartPack Kernel Manager (F-Droid)

I also tried making a backup before edit, then restore. The system still Bricks upon reboot.

Even if i don't edit the build prop directly, but rather replace it, even with an identical one. The system refuses to read it next boot.

On Most of the listed devices - System is A/B - Also worth noting is the build.prop in /system references importing the build.prop and default.props from /Vendor and /Product. Could that have anything to do with it?

Trouble-Shooting steps taken:

Ensured /System is mounted

Tried Different methods for editing build.prop "on-device"

pull to pc, edit, push back.

Google - XDA Search (duh)

is this DM-Verity? TF am I missing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
So if I understand correctly:

You mount -o rw,remount /system

You adb pull some-text-file

You edit some-text-file

You adb push some-text-file

Did you subsequently adb pull some-text-file to make sure that it was actually changed?

This isn't a super (dynamic partition) with /system /vendor /product all together, is it?

Do:

dd if=/dev/block/by-name/system of=/sdcard/check skip=big-number

Big number = count of sectors in system partition - 8 // for eMMC

Big number = count of sectors in system partition - 1 // for UFS

You should end up with a file exactly 4096 bytes. If you don't play with the numbers.

Hexedit that file, does it start with fe cf ec fe? Then it has FEC.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K0mraid3:
Super - yes. is this same as system as root? (Sorry if it's an obvious question, I'm learning)

Yes , correct, i ever tried changing Owner and permissions (chmod 777)

Thats the weird part, when i did pull the file from the device it actually came out the other end on my pc intact with all the props - i then proceeded back to device and checked the file in /system and it was blank, as well as the build.bak.

At first thought it was the file explorer (Root Explorer Pro) but when tried manually, same result.

Don't know if its relevant or not to the issue, but i WAS able to use setprop on some props, but only select ones, and I'm not able to figure out the bias as to which one I can or can't.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
Persisitent props are stored in /data, so those would work.

Do the dd and tell me if you have FEC. This is for me, your numbers will be different.

Poke3:/ # dd if=/dev/block/by-name/system of=/sdcard/check skip=6291448
8+0 records in
8+0 records out
4096 bytes (4.0 K) copied, 0.000839 s, 4.6 M/s

Numbers too high will say "Can't skip". Numbers too low will give you a file that's too big.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K0mraid3:
Came back weird, does this need to be run as root?

$ dd if=/dev/block/by-name/system of=/sdcard/check skip=big-number
dd: not integer: big-number
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K0mraid3:
dumb question lol disregard. same result.

ill go check in /data now
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:
/data is fine. Just check system partition. Using real numbers. Actually integers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renate:

[General Questions and Answers] Princknoby:
Hi everyone, I'm not sure if I'm posting in the right place, so forgive me if I'm in the wrong place.

The title says it all: Does wiping the /system partition remove my fingerprints? I'm running lineage 18.1, I'm experiencing the battery draining very quickly, so I wanted to try a GApps that allows me to optimize Google services, I'm using MindTheGapps (Recommended by LineageOS), but I saw that NikkGapps allows me to do what I want, so I would like to test it, but I don't want to do it on top of another gapps, so I would clean /system.

But I share my fingerprint with my girlfriend, and re-enrolling her fingerprint is boring. So I wanted to know if the wipe in /system would erase the prints, or can I do it with peace of mind?

Thank's
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
No, wiping system partition doesn't wipe stored fingerprints because they are stored in the data partition. When flashing ROMs, wiping data partition(factory reset) is required unless you are flashing an updated version of a ROM that you already have installed, such as having LineageOS installed and then updating to a newer version of LineageOS, you can just flash the new ROM without having to wipe anything.
[General Questions and Answers] Princknoby:
Hi, unfortunately I couldn't test if it would work... I wiped /system /dalvik /cache, installed ROM and GApps, but was unable to boot, stuck in bootloop, forced to format /data partition :( Anyway, thanks for your time!
