[Google Pixel 8] Zwulf:
For me it's working very, very bad. Really awful. Always have to try it 3 or 4 times. Most disappointing thing on the device. I really don't get why they use an optical sensor. It just doesn't work.

Fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 4a works just fine. I wish the Pixel 8 would use the same as it is a LOT better.
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
Sorry to hear that. I am not seeing anything like this at all. Just to be clear I'm using a Ringke film screen protector on mine, NOT GLASS. Maybe that is the difference?

I hope you can get that worked out.

On another note for me anyway the face unlock is working flawless.
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
BTW just a FYI if you didn't see my other post over on the P8 pro thread.

Last month I got a S23 for a couple days with the UltraSonic FPS. Maybe it was me, maybe it was the phone, IDK but it was terrible. I hated it compared to my P7. I was actually getting what your getting now. Even though I had no problems setting up the FPS it would not unlock the first time no matter what. That is the reason I returned it.

How, Why, no idea but that was my experience.
[Google Pixel 8] MiRw³b:
i've never tried prior google devices, however i can affirm that the Pixel 8's fingerprint sensor is REALLY GOOD

i've never had a fingerprint sensor that worked that good. on my prior devices that had fingerprint sensor (mostly xiaomi devices), the fingerprint sensor used to be kinda meh, but on the pixel 8, it's just amazing
[Google Pixel 8] t-ryder:
I have a cheap TGSP on my P8 and not set the TGSP setting active for the FP. My FP works like a charm - fast and snappy 10/10~9/10.
[Google Pixel 8] Gravol:
Pixel 8 here and it's really a hit or miss but I've never used a in screen before ... Could also be I am electrician and my print isn't the best
[Google Pixel 8] vandyman:
Yeah, the pixel 6 was more of a beta tester when it came to the finger print sensor on the screen.

Pixel 8 improved in a big way.
[Google Pixel 8] Gibsonflyingv:
Finally opened mine. I'd say it's a little better than the P6, but definitely still isn't as effortless as the old school not under screen ultrasonic ones. Face unlock helps though.
[Google Pixel 8] somethingsomethingroot:
More hit and miss than my P6P. But this is my first time with a tempered glass protector, and it feels so much more greasy on the surface.... I'd wanna wait till my usual case is in before blaming the phone.
[Google Pixel 8] rochrunner:
The sensor on my P7a worked very well. The problem that I always have is that in the winter when my fingers get colder and drier, it stops working as well. I can alleviate that a bit by re-recording them but it's still very inconsistent. I'm also old (77) and my prints have worn down over the years. I just got my P8 so will be interested to see how it works on a seasonal basis.
[Google Pixel 8] bobby janow:
I hear you. The cold is rough on FP reading. But I think with the excellent face unlock you should be ok.
[Google Pixel 8] rochrunner:
Yeah, I forgot about that. My understanding (haven't got things going yet) is the face unlock now qualifies to be used for secure logins such as on financial apps. My P7a face unlock works well for unlocking the phone but I still have to use the fingerprint reader for the secure apps. Face unlock would be very, very convenient!
[Google Pixel 8] bobby janow:
My understanding was that face unlock for secure apps like banking would only work on the P8P and not the P8. However, I have unlocking via face unlock on my banking app and a secure email account and another app. Weird, but I love it!
[Google Pixel 8] fullmetal509:
Weird had pixel 6 and 7 and at the moment Pixel 8 has been a real improvement!
[Google Pixel 8] Pao23:
I've only had my 8 since Friday, but so far it's been flawless for me, including yesterday at the rock climbing gym with my thumb generally coated in chalk. It just worked. I did the print register before my screen protector arrived, and after putting on the screen protector nothing changed, it didn't have issues or show the need for me to re-register or turn on increased sensitivity.

I'll echo fullmetal above, I had a P6 and P7, the 8 just seems so much quicker on the read so far. Everything feels smoother.
[Google Pixel 8] xire68:
On my pixel 8 no problem, I use a glass protector and it doesn't miss a shot.
[Google Pixel 8] rochrunner:
I put a protector on right after taking the P8 out of the box just to make sure that I wouldn't have to re-register my prints. It's working well without upping the sensitivity so far.
[Google Pixel 8] bobby janow:
Some apps unlock immediately and some require a tap to "confirm" but no FP necessary. Yet to try it in the cold but this weekend should be a test. The face id and fpr are so good that I sometimes have to relock the phone just to see Now Playing on the lockscreen. I must look funny tilting the phone away from my face so it won't unlock and peering around the edge like I'm spying on the phone and it won't see me.
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
Soooooo true
[Google Pixel 8] LeoD:
I never had any serious issues with my P6, but the P7 was a noticable improvement. Of course I can notice the improvement over the P7 with the P8, now that it is in hand. What I know will start a debate on here, for a short while I had the Samsung S23. What I found was the FPS was NOT as good as the P7. Naturally I informed Google that was one of the reasons I was returning it. My exact words to them " everyone complains about the FPS on pixels but the FPS is terrible on this phone"
[Google Pixel 8] johnsmallberries:
I much preferred the sensor on the back of the phone like the pixel 3xl. The pixel 8 seems to have a 50% chance of recognizing my fingerprint, and I've tried re-learning the print a few times. I do have a glass screen protector though....
[Google Pixel 8] bobby janow:
A lot of us do prefer the back FP reader from way back but the in screen one on the P8 is way faster and more accurate. Add that to face id and it should be almost instantaneous. You might be doing something wrong or the screen protector is malfunctioning. I don't have one of those but there are a lot of folks here that do and there are nary any complaints. Take it off, register and try it again.
[Google Pixel 8] Aethera:
Compared with a Samsung Galaxy S23+ I find the Pixel 8's fingerprint detection much better. Almost flawless.
[Google Pixel 8] arturiu:
I registered fp during initial setup (no screen protector) and added the glass afterwards, but still it is working very consistently (maybe 8~9 out of 10).
[Google Pixel 8] harryw66:
I owned the Pixel 6 for a year - hated the fingerprint sensor, had to ditch the glass SP and fit a TPU one to use the FP.

I then owned a Pixel 7 for a year - FP sensor was a bit better, but thankfully the facial unlock meant it was less of an issue.

I have had the Pixel 8 for 2 weeks now - and as far as I can tell the FP sensor has been fixed.

Currently fitted with a https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CLJ3VVYZ glass screen protector and the fingerprint unlock has been working without any issues at all.

BTW the above SP's size itself is a bit wide/tall and leaves a slight halo around the edges - so maybe not the best choice - but I have not had time to find an alternative.
[Google Pixel 8] harryw66:
I think the 'confirm' thing is when the Face Unlock kicks in before the fingerprint sensor has done its thing and the phone is just confirming that you really want to unlock the phone.
[Google Pixel 8] ricky56789:
Not very good for me coming from a Pixel 5. Glass screen protector so not sure if that is the issue but rarely works first time
[Google Pixel 8] Gemgem:
Really good for me with glass screen on it.

Coming from OP6 with back of the phone FPS which was so fast and good.

Please to have no problem with my first under screen FPS.

Sorry for the other :/
[Google Pixel 8] Bdev3:
I have had my Pixel 8 about a week and am on the verge of returning it specifically over the fingerprint sensor. Beyond the annoying bright light, it works about once in four tries even after re-registering my fingerpint. Since the face unlock doesn't work for me at night or dim lighting, I am constantly re-entering my code to use the phone, which is unacceptable.

Work gave me a free iPhone 13 a couple of years, so I didn't replace my last Android, an S10E that fried on a bad car charger. I been on the Android ride since Froyo and the original Samsung Galaxy and sure miss flashing ROMs. On Black Friday, I could trade in the Apple for a Pixel 8 for only $125, so I was glad to get back to Android.

Coming back here, it's sad to see the state of ROM development, where did all the custom ROMs go? My LG V30 with the WTF unlock were the last good days of flashing for me.

As much as I detest iOS, the Apple hardware is admirable, Face Unlock works in the dark and the fingerprint sensor almost never misses on the first try. The Pixel 8 feels flimsy in comparison hardware wise, and also below Samsung quality.

If anyone has any suggestions for improving the fingerprint sensor, I'd appreciate hearing it. I'm going to try taking the screen protector off and re-registering my prints.

Update: Redoing my fingerprints with the screen protector off gives better results and hoping that lasts.
[Google Pixel 8] Pritster5:
I just got the Pixel 8 today so maybe the FP sensor gets better over time but it's dog **** right now. Way too slow and you have to keep your finger unreasonably still for it to scan correctly. I miss my OnePlus 6...
[Google Pixel 8] Gibsonflyingv:
I'd highly recommend setting up the face unlock too. It almost always gets my face, then resorts to fingerprint if it can't get it for some reason. It really makes up for the slightly weak fingerprint sensor.
[Google Pixel 8] thatsupnow:
Also using a glass screen protector and fingerprint scanner works perfectly every time. On my Pixel 7 it was a real hit and miss
[Google Pixel 8] in_dmand:
It's bad for me too... Takes multiple tries and then goes to my other method (pattern). I think I'll just switch to a straight pattern for now, it's too annoying.
[Google Pixel 8] Jasonious:
Bad for me as well. Really bad. Coming from a Pixel 5 with a 99% hit rate, I find the Pixel 8 underperforms. I did 2 sets of prints one in the dark and one in daylight. Still poor.

The face unlock as it exists now only works in good lighting situations. I also find the raise to wake function hit or miss. Sometimes it works, other times screen stays off.

I'm in MIchigan USA. I would accept local pickup. But paypal only for the rest.

Thank you.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tvos:
why r u selling the device?

can you supply the official reciept, date of purchase and authhenticate?

also the s/n to validate before purchase?

secondly folks, this not under warranty with the carrier.

possibly htc..

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kass2112:
I got this as a gift.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tvos:
then it should'nt be a problem with s/n and reciept from from the person who purchased it for you to return.

also, does not sprint like other carriers require ssn, license to use the phone?

i can't imagine someone paying out $500+ and then turning around selling it for $350. I sold my tilt fort $300. and TDP is way better hardware

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] Galoso:
Cocorico, folks.

My camera nowadays freezes when I switch to video. Sometimes, when I just open camera, the "cannot connect to the camera pops-up", I open again and works fine, but this keeps on video.

Frontal camera works fine.

Further info:

I was on 12.5.3.0 MIUI, but I see serious bugs with night mode, so I have decided to return to 11.0.5.0. Orangefox isn't compatible with encrypt from 11.0.5.0 version, so I ran this zip file from here https://xdaforums.com/t/deprecated-...ncrypt-disk-quota-disabler-11-2-2020.3817389/

I messed up pretty big with system, so I deciced to to all over again, but, strangely, my WiFi wasn't working at all.

Went on older MIUIs as well, same thing: WiFI not woking at all.

I was wondering: is that zip got into in a way to mess with, even if I flash a rom and wipe system?

The only way I got back wifi was restoring a backup. Job done, got my wifi back.

Did flash stock again, cleaning all (if you wonder), but my camera is still in a bad situation. Youtube was stuck at loading, but when I changed camera settings, somehow, Youtube worked again.

I can reflash an img file, even from twrp (in this version, twrp handles fine with force encryption) but I'm kinda sure this isn't sorting out, because I did a flash stock.

Before you ask: the basiscs,

Wiped cache from twrp: no joy

Wiped cache and data from camera: no joy

force restart camera service: no joy

reboot my device: no joy

There was a time, a lineage custom saved my soul a time ago, but this thing I'll need some days to test it out.

So,my biggest question here: That zip file messed with me?

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NCVol:
I disabled 5G before VZW took away the preferred network setting in the SIM menu. I would like to re-enable 5G but there are a ton of options for 5G networks.

Does anyone know the option that is best for Verizon? The one I selected based on some things I read for other carriers is NR/LTE/WCDMA. But I can't find anything to tell me if that's missing anything for Verizon.

I'm changing the setting through the phone info menu is the dialer, accessed by *#*#4636#*#*
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] NCVol:
If anyone else is looking the default for 5G enabled on a P7Pro on Verizon is NR/LTE/GSM/WCDMA.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I mean I have NR/LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA, but I believe the EvDo is the 3G bandwidth and, from what I've read just now, GSM supplements capability of low band frequencies for CDMA & LTE (3G & 4G respectively) -- it seems it's more to give the GSM frequency offerings to certain world regions....

In any case, for the most part, it's mainly LTE (4G) that's run on VZ network (as it's the strongest signal most available everywhere), with 5G leading the pack but not adopted everywhere, and 3G is just to fall back on when both signals are unreachable/low-quality. The others that are lower (2G, "EVDO") aren't used much/any-longer, I believe.

One thing to consider is that when you are in an area that has bad cell signal, your device will search for the strongest and constantly go back and forth (most times between 5G and 4G, but many times between all three of 5G, LTE, and 3G) that it drains the battery pretty significantly.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] benoboa:
Me personally I either run LTE only or NR/LTE. They are going to moonlight 2g and 3g anyways so why even enable it at this point.

I'm a believer in disabling the proxy as well but if you go to the default PIE homepage (it's device.home I think) it will not work because that requires the proxy to work.

Hi,

I have a A52S 5G

I tried to flash TWRP recovery but failed miserably.

When i boot now i have this :

So i went to download mode (Volume up + Volume down) then plus cable.

Run Odin, put TWRP...tar in AP and vbmeta.tar (found somewhere on the forum) in USERDATA.

Hit flash and have this error :

[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] ShaDisNX255:
The Odin errors don't show anything useful. Check if your device has red text after failing to flash something and that should give you an idea of what's wrong

EDIT: You should flash the patched vbmeta that's specified in the TWRP thread not just any you find on the internet
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] bol2riznc:
So i just need to flashback vbmeta on the USERDATA part right?

What about this error :

No, you didn't properly unlock your bootloader. Re-read the TWRP instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] bol2riznc:
Ok so i managed to solve my problem with your help. Since i didn't know where to read the errors.

For some reasons, the phone was unlock and when i reboot is OEM lock again and i didn't see it on the screen.

So i reboot the phone (Volume up + Volume down) then plug cable. Choose to unlock bootloader. It reboots the phone and i had the message that the bootloader is unlock.

Then i went back in Downloading mode and manage to flash with Odin.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] bol2riznc:
Ok so i install twrp and vbmeta patched...my selfie camera is not working anymore... is there any solution to this?

[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] bol2riznc:
The only solution rn for me is to flash stock firmware back and relock the bootloader :(

Pixel 8 Pro Review: Not the Google Phone I Hoped It Would Be

After a rocky start, Google's flagship phone offers plenty, but it's the long-term support that stands out.

www.cnet.com
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] TonikJDK:
It's about time the reviewers started holding Google accountable for the release state of their new phones. "Coming Soon" features, other things broken for months and months.

I realize that is how Google rolls, but folks should be made aware of what they are getting in to.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] HipKat:
I've watched a bunch of Out of the Box type videos and not one has ha any of the screen issues this one talks about. I'm a big follower of Marques Brownlee who is quick to point out flaws and trashed the P7P hard when it came out and he was pretty high on the P8P
