[Q] Starting fingerprint in settings - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I have Echoe v20 rom flashed on my S4 lite which is working great,but when I press fingerprint icon in settings phone stops settings
Is there a fix for fingerprint in settings or is it because s4 phones do not have built in software/hardware to get it working
any reply helpful

This should be pretty obvious, right?
Galaxy s4 does not have finger print scanner hardware, this is why you get force close, so, no fix, other than friedrich & Co removing it from the S5 settings menu.

Samsung galaxy s4 takes a while to unlock from lockscreen

I am having problem with my galaxy s4 when unlocking it from the lockscreen.. I just recently purchased it this week.
When I lock the screen and try to unlock it, most of the time it takes a while for it to let me unlock the screen.
I have search through google of anyone else has this issue but there seems to be none.
does anyone have an explanation about this issue? or is it normal?
This is definitely not a normal behavior. First, did you install any apps that may slow it down? If not, then try updating the rom (software update in the settings screen), and if it still doesn't help you may want to use the warranty to get another device.

Fingerprint Sensor issue

Loving my Zuk, or was. I set up the screen lock for fingerprint sensor and it was working great. Recognises my thumb first time every time. Now though I can unlock with just a normal swipe. It doesn't even demand the backup pin number. I went back into settings and it still had the fingerprint setup as the screen lock so I removed it and set it up again and hey presto i was back in action but only for about 10 minutes and it went back to no security at all.
There were 4 small OTA updates today so I am guessing one of these has messed it up. Each update didn't say what it was for
Has anybody else had this issue?
Is working well for me.
Have you added other smartlock event (wifi, location, ecc) that can interfere with the lockscreen and disable it?

My MOTO 360 is in smartlock as a trusted device, don't fully understand what smartlock is to be honest. If I remove it would it affect anything?

Of course!
I have also a smartwatch (LG Urbane) and the watch as a trusted device. When the smartwatch is connected to the phone the lockscreen is always DEACTIVE, even if you have configured a lock screen (PIN, pattern and or fingerprint)
Power off your watch (or set if in airplane mode) to check if lockscreen turns on in the phone

I have just removed my 360 as a trusted device and the screen lock now works perfectly and so I now understand how this works. Many thanks for the advice. I can now stop worrying that I have a faulty device!

I am facing as well to a lockscreen and fingerprint issue.
I used fingerprint to open lockscreen and pattern as secondary. After showing the ZUK to somebody I needed to modify the pattern. From that time I am unable to switch back to fingerprint. Only three opportunities what I have, and no swipe or fingerprint, due to "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage". What accessibility service messes up the fingerprint usage? Do you guys have an idea? All of them are swiched off.

My problem is solved. I needed to delete credentials in security settings.
Hi. I'm having some problems with the fingerprint sensor. Is working intermitent or not. I've asked zuk support already but no answer yet. I don't know if it's a software issue or hardware. It's any way to calibrate the sensor? Maybe it's decalibrated? Any help will be usefull. Thank you.
LE I already made a factory reset. No improvement.

I'm using the Zuk since a month, and no problems with the fingerprint at all.
In any occasions, the fingerprint sensor don't detects the finger the first time but at second try.
Since a few days, I'm on CyanogenMod (instead of Cyanogen OS) and I think the sensor is less responsive (sometimes I need to try three times or use the lock pattern).
But if you are with issues using CyanogenOS I think is due to a hardware issue.

Fingerprint actions has been removed by CM a few OTA updates ago.
I hope a kernel developer will add soon, but ZUK has not too much developers
Modded kernel for COS can be found in the other topic about this issue.
The OnePlus 2 sources happen to have a compatible finger print driver with capacitive button support which is currently being checked out for porting to the Chroma kernel.
So don't fret.. The feature can be restored.
iam not able to use my fingerprint lock, it was working well before but now suddenly it is not showing the option in CHOSE LOCK SCREEN- the SWIPE an d FINGER PRINT OPTION IS DISABLED.
how to enable it
Thanks ... I had the same issue & delete credentials in security settings.
I bought zuk z1 3days ago
Why We cannot use fingerprint sensor to lock and unlock the device for both purposes
Having an issue with the fingerprint sensor.....
Works fine but when push notifications(any notifications**) show up on the lock screen ..the sensor gets non responsive...mind u almost impossible to unlock
Have no choice other than security pin
And I Definitely think this is result of All IN ONE Issue
Say like.....1)fingerprint sensor integrated into hone Button, 2)Faulty software patching, 3) Me, adding two or more fingerprints
Any Suggestions from u guys Feels helpful
BTW....Bought the product via Amazon.in
Is there a provision in the ZUK Z1 which let's you interact with the device by simply tapping on the fingerprint sensor except on the lock screen?
If the device is locked and the screen is off too, simply placing my hand on the fingerprint sensor doesn't work. I always have to press on the button to wake the screen first.
Any help?
May sb tell me the modell of the finger print reader of the ZUK Z1? Pls. use AIDA64.

That's part the of custom roms. Fingerprint as home button can be activated by flashing something, you need root. But in the play store you can try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ztc1997.fingerprint2sleep
But it's not that what you need. Without root and a kernel where its implemented its not possible.
Hey my fingerprint was working fine till one day it just started vibrating when I tried to scan it. I tried deleting the saved fingerprints and registered new. I'm not even Able to register new fingerprints. What do I do?

Screen off during calls unresponsive. No proximity sensor values available.

Hi guys I have an international note 4 which I have tried now several ROMs currently on lineageos 7.1.2 but whichever ROM I use the screen is off during calls I cannot send tones or anything I have to pull the battery to end the call.
The proximity sensor is not showing any values in the sensor apps I have tried. No proximity fix app seems to do anything either.
Any ideas?
You might have to replace the sensor, not all electronics live forever, even if they don't physically move or show physical damage. The sensor is cheap, once your phone is open its quick to replace.

It works ok on factory ROM so don't think it's the actual sensor more seems to be a ROM issue maybe bootloader need to try a new one of those maybe!!

Probably not bootloader related. I'd say try different kernels, it might be an issue with the LineageOS kernel.

S7 Edge - Oreo Update - Pro mode camera causes app to crash

Hi
I received the Oreo roll-out for my S7 Edge (UK user; unlocked) but have realized that the pro mode in the stock camera app no longer works. When I switch to the pro mode, the phone seems to 'slow' down processing and the app crashes with a 'camera has stopped' message.
All other modes, auto/panorama/selfie/slow-motion etc are all working fine.
Is anyone else having this issue? I have already fed back to Samsung and sent an error report. I've already tried most of the usual troubleshooting issues (restarting, re-restarting, wiping the cache).
Is it just a case of waiting for Samsung of fixing the bug? Any idea how long that might be? Was going to go on holiday in a few weeks so might just roll back to Nougat just so the pro-mode works!
Hi, I had the same issue today, I've solved it by clearing camera data not and only cache.

Swipe left on the camera screen and the options will show up. I was searching all over for this too. The instructions say something about right swipe for different effects but nothing about left, thought'll give it a shot..
Worked like a charm!
