Hey guys I have 4 fingerprints saved for my screenlock. I successfully added all 10 fingerprints on my hand. Havent tried feet lol. All you have to do is setup a fingerprint and instead of doing 1 fingerptint 10 times you can switch fingers. Meaning you can do 10 different fingerptints in 1 setup where it asks you to scan. Thought id share for those who want to do Right and Left index and thumb fingerprints.

Is it just me? Or is anyone else having problems with music controls on the new lock screen in 4.2. when I resume a song from play music in the lock screen the the camera gets mixed in with the lock screen and the volume goes to maximum for a second then returns to normal. Its done it a few times now.

I had this happen just a little bit ago at the gym. It almost seemed like it locked up. I was able to launch Google now and get to the main screen though. Hopefully they add an on/off button for the lock screen widgets, I won't ever use them so it would be nice to disable them.

Disable Lock Screen Camera and Widgets
Found an article by Droid Life about Lockscreen Policy, an app created by Chislon Chow.
Been using it for a couple days. It is free and seems to work perfectly fine. Did not even need root privilege. The effect is not "permanent" in that if you disable/freeze or uninstall it, the widgets come right back, and you'll have to reboot before they can be removed again.
So a few times a day, my screen goes unresponsive. The only way to unfreeze it is to turn the screen off, back on, unlock phone, and it all works great after that. I can also pull the s pen out and it will work but fingers do not. Seems that it happens everytime I am bragging and showing off the phone. Really annoying. Any thoughts?
I have done a factory reset, cleared cache, disable pen recognition.

I'm not sure what else to try at this point. I have read things about screen protectors and SD cards not being compatible. May try to remove those today.

Removed SD card, screen protector and case... problem gone. Now to reintroduce and find the culprit.
I also removed my case. Everything looking good so put my case back on without screen protector for a few hours. Still no problems. Now I am backing up my SD card and reformatted it. Copying files (mainly pictures and music) back to SD card no. Still no problems yet. Looks like my screen protector was the problem. User Manual actually states to not use a screen protector...

Interesting. What brand and model of screen protector so we can avoid. Have been running naked and perfect but was planning to add a screen protector soon.

Was just about to hit the buy button on Verizon for these screen protectors and wireless charger back since they're 25% off with corp discount. And, I was thinking of all the screen protectors out on the market the Verizon one would be validated to work. Thanks man for saving my butt.
I have the ones from the Verizon store and do not share any of these issues. I run naked with just the protector. Had it on since release date.

Well problem is back but not as often. Trying to decide if it's the case or SD. Leaning towards the SD. May try to run without it tomorrow.

Have you tried going to settings control scroll to bottom
Tick box to increase touch sensitivity
Or could be caused by magnet on your case if present
I have the same problem. I'll touch an icon on my home screen and nothing happens. I touch the icon 3-4 more times and nothing happens. Then after the 5th or 6th try, it'll FINALLY work. All this happening in the matter of 4-5 seconds.
It's really annoying and considering this has a Snapdragon 800 with 3GB of RAM I'm really baffled.

Still happening with SD removed, screen protector off and case off. But way less often. Uhhhhh. Just when I thought I had it figured out.

The sensitivity did seem to help some, but still happening.
After a 2nd hard reset, everything is looking good so far. Not going to change any stock setting for a while and see how it goes. Installed my usual apps only and synced Google account. So far no problems. Will wait and customize setting after I see if I have any problems.

Three hard resets later, problem is miraculously fixed. Only problem is I no longer have the Samsung App store and Samsung says they can't fix that.

Hi,
Not sure I'm writing the right place.
-Sorry...
Is there a way to change the way you lock the screen ?
I stead of one single push on the power button, I could really use something like 2 press...
I keep locking the screen by accident when I fooling around , or if I'm in a store and buying my coffee for free (7 eleven, using a app with a QR code..) and the staff accidentally lock the screen - I will lose that QR code, cause I only have 2 min to use it, when the staff press "show code"..
Soooo...
Is it possible to tweak/hack/nuke it ?
-FYI, only had the S4 for about a month, and only got rooted
-again, if I'm in the wrong place, I'm really sorry..

Something weird is going on with my Nexus 4, I woke up this morning and all my icon locations are back to front! What I mean is up the top where the symbols on the right hand side of the screen where battery, reception and Wifi symbols usually are, they're now on the left side and the 3 buttons on the bottom are inverted and back to front. I'll upload a couple of screen shots to help explain.
As you can see also when I go into settings everything is opposite too.
Even scrolling through my apps I have got to swipe from left to right!
Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Have u tried simply rebooting it/
Also, is ur N4 rooted?
Yes I have tried rebooting it several times and no it's not rooted. Also, the most annoying thing with this problem I forgot to mention is the 3 buttons on the bottom are not responsive either. I've turned on "show touches" in developer settings and it seems that the very bottom of the screen is not registering touches. If I want to use the buttons I have to flip screen to landscape and move the buttons to the top of the screen.

Maybe it's an accessibility option? Check in Settings>Accessibility.
If found any seem to solve your issue, the most sure way to solve it is to flash a factory image. Check out efrants guide.
I'm not sure if this is a known thing or not, but its just a little exploit I found out. When registering your 3 fingerprints tou have to swipe 8 times or so. You can register every finger and have room to spare with this method I found out. When registering prints swipe one finger 2 times then move onto a new one. Repeat until all fingers are used. Now you can un lock your phone using any finger.
Ex for registering.
FINGERPRINT 1: Swipe Thumb 2 times, Swipe Index Finger 2 times, Middle Finger 2 times, Ring Finger 2 times. (Not fully sure if you need to have it swiped 2 times or if 1 will work as well, 2 has seemed to work without flaws) Now you have 1 Print registered but in reality 4 have been registered.
Another quick tip is that you can swipe your thumb sideways, or at just the right angle, on the scanner so you can now unlock your phone with one hand. This is a bit tricky since you have to swipe your thumb in just the right spot.

Nice tip, you can also register your thumb and a few fingers in all directions for awesome accuracy

Try swiping your thumb twice straight down and then angled 45 degrees then horizontal, it registers one handed much better after that. If not, do variations with the other three fingerprints and try it in all directions.

S5 finger scanner
Just tried all my fingers with one scan, in one finger registration. Even scanned each finger once upside down.
Awesome tip! This helps a ton!
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
From what I understand, there are only 10 copies of the registered fingerprints.
I was hoping we could do at least 3 different fingers, each at 3 angles (-45,0,45) on each of 3 sides of the screen (left,bottom,right).
Is this not the case?
This is awesome! Would have never guessed. Works on the Note 4 too.
This work really well thank for the tip
