Need help with my fingerprint sensor! - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I have a big problem with my fingerprint sensor. First of all it always shows an error if i want to use it, so i get into HwModuleTest menu to find out what the problem is. But every time i click on the sensor button the menu closes itself. Can someone help me or describe me how to fix that? Thank you [emoji1]

About the common screen bug: Start Menu popup when thumb tapping

Hi,
lot of users had reported the Screen Bug:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9_1BAiU_7k
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNv8FMy_mVU
This bug will popup your starmenu when:
- you are using "huge" thumb while tapping the display (xt9 sms writing for example)
- cpu is overheating (because it's near the diplay area)
I'm working to solve this issue via software.
Project moved to my website:
http://www.xiaprojects.com/?section...ols&action=HTC Trinity - P3600 Screen Bug Fix
Changelog:
0.0.10 Bugfix, now work on all WM6.1 themes and also new "Transparent" feature make it invisible! a good starting point to put TopBar by default in P3600 roms
thank you!
Sounds great! I have this problem so I would be keen to find a solution. Good luck and thanks in advance!
Exellent project.
Im testing now
Great program.
Since i've installed it, i have not been able to provoke the star menu poping up. Usually I could provoke it by randomly tapping the today screen, but not anymore...
This has been the most annoying bugs of the telephone, and i'm very happy that it seems to be fixed...
Thank you so very very much...
BeeBo
10x a lot stefanux ) i've started the TopBar program and tried it , wrote down a couple of e-mails and sms'es, and the start menu did not pop out even once , thank you again for your work
hmm.. i thought its a hardware issue? i used to have start menu problem.. sent in for screen replacement.. now my camera pops up from time to time ha..
ha! All this time I was wondering why my battery status kept popping up at random.. I never thought it was a screen problem. Maybe on my next disassembly I can sand down the bezel or something.
Stefano,
I am wandering if this program need to be place in the startup folder so that it will get started ? (please forgive me if you think this is a silly question).
Thanks for the great problem.
stefanux .... Thank you !!! although your intention was to let us capture the false pressure coordinate and feedback to you, somehow after running your little proggy, like the others i was not able to reproduce the start menu problem anymore. fyi, i did manage to reproduce the problem right before i start your little proggy.
will report again if the problem comes back after a soft reset Hopefully, this would make this most annoying problem go away.
again, thanks !
perfect
Hi,
good work, it just perfect for me, finally got rid of this only unbelievble bug.
thnks.
grate work
Excellent Tool! Thanks for posting it. Is there a way to prevent you from running it multiple times. Since you don't see anything on screen you are tempted to keep clicking on it - since your not sure its running. Maybe the second time you click it can popup saying its already running. But otherwise this thing rocks.

hi again, finally i manage to reproduce the start menu drop popup thingy. somehow, its harder to reproduce when your program is active.
However, manage to capture the coordinate of the fake pressure, 4 out of 4 time 0:0.
Hopefully this helps
omg, if this works..it will solve one of the biggest headaches (unfortunately, not all) i have with this phone!!!
Edit: Running this app and randomly touching the screen still results in the start menu popping up. I've noticed someone saying it works after a while. Does that mean this app takes some time before it can adapt to the pressures being applied at the start menu? Also, what is TopBar-diags.zip for?
Good !!!

Try 0.0.3 when ready, diags may help to find which coords are "fake"
I'm using the diag version. Oddly enough, even when the start menu pops up, the box where it displays the coords is still labeled with "Start!".

Help please!

After reading the thread about the camera button not working properly...ive realised i also have this problem. If i click the camera button the camera 99% of the time will not come up. Is there anyway of assigning another button to display the camera because going through the menus just to locate the camera wont be very convenient. i dont take many photos so its not a huge deal but im most likely to need a quick camera than one that i have to search for on the phone! Thanks.

I too was looking for a way to manually change screen rotation without using the g sensor however there is (as of now) no app to force screen rotation , if your g sensor is completely busted you will not be able to rotate the screen . try downloading Max protractor from the market and see if you get any feedback in that program to confirm it is the G sensor and not a bad kernel .
Orientation sensor looks like a chip, i see it when i disassemle the phone. And it was broken (physically damaged). If i can find a working one, i try to replace it. whatever...
Yesterday i find a little program, name is "Rotation Locker". It works very well for me. I suggest it...

[Q] How to detect events of gesture sensor and proximity sensor?

Dear all,
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this question here, but in the developer forum I don't have access since I am newbee.
I am a software developer and I am interested to develop for Android and especially the new 'Air Gestures' features of Galaxy S4.
But I don't know where to start. Can I detect events of gesture sensor and proximity sensor? If yes how?
What gestures I can detect?
Thanks for any hint!

I think the sensor don't response, when I rotate the phone nothing happens.
I used CPU-Z to verify sensors it seems OK

Have you turned off screen rotation? I suspect you might have.
There is a toggle for it in the extended toggle section of the notification drawer.
yes I do it
