Defective Finger print scanner? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
My brother just got a 32 GB S5 (SM-G900F) a week ago and every time he runs the finger print scanner manager app he gets the following error
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Does he have a defective finger print scanner, should he return it back for replacement??

Try factory reset, if no luck send back for replacement.

Thanks for the reply and sorry for my late reply...i'm going to flash the stock firmware now via odin and hope all goes well.

Flashed stock rom with no custom recovery and stock kernel I still get the same error..time for a replacement I guess

That's hardware, software can't fix hardware. Take it to a specialist.

SafetyNet failing

So I went to setup Android Pay and got this message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I wiped Android Pay's app data and same results. So I ran a SafetyNet test and it failed.
I'm obviously not rooted or bootloader unlocked. I remember it working before. Any ideas why it won't? Anybody else on G935TUVU2APC have this issue? I'm hoping I don't have to wipe my device via Odin and start over...
EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED. APPARENTLY USING THE CONDENSED DPI OPTION BREAKS IT. SWITCHING BACK TO STANDARD VIEW FIXES IT.

Did you happen to change your dpi?
Just through the Samsung hidden settings. Could that be it?

Wow, thanks, that was it. Lmao sucks but I guess if I use Android Pay I'll revert to the standard DPI. Good to know.

The Clipboard size small all of a sudden?

Basically I restarted my phone for the first time in probably 2 weeks and all of a sudden I notice that when I use the Clipboard the size is much more smaller than it was before. Anyone know how to fix it?

A little late but put your S8 in Safe Mode. That will fix it and it will persist through a normal boot after that.

Haha yeah it's a bit late, but thanks anyway. I actually managed to fix it not long ago by switching to the stock keyboard then back to the Swift keyboard.

Well that probably works a lot better and doesn't reset any theme settings. I'll have to remember that one next time.

You're not the only one, same for me and some other Note FE SM-N935F/DS users...
Seems like that only the Korean variant doesn't have this problem as they can just flash the standard TWRP without problems.
Anyone able to boot back to main screen without flashing stock ROM?
So there's no working root method yet for N935F/DS. Seems we have to wait for a year? Hope not. I like their phones but I hate Samsung!

Are your next 10 posts going to be the exact same as this one & the three preceding it?
Try reading the existing threads before posting identical questions/threads, it's not as if there's a lot to catch up on.......

Have you tried updating the software?
Yeah the software was up to date I even reflashed the factory image. Good news is I exchanged it at Best Buy last night and the new one is working great
