Problem fingerprint 900f - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated to marshmallow and every time i boot up the device i receive this: "Unable to use fingerprints. Device restarted. Enter password, then fingerprints can be used next time device locked."
It is my problem or it is normal ?

Tried removing the fingerprints and setting them up again from scratch?

Yes ... didnt work

Find out which app controls fingerprint, and clear cache and data

Can't find it... isnt that a setting, Can i even clear it?

I'M not sure it' s a bug.
Since the 1st version by firefds I got the same message when reboot !
I flashed many versions of MM. .. and always!

I don't use Fingerprint so don't know if it's a MM bug or not, but if more than one person is getting the same error, it looks like it might be

Fingerprints
I dont think this is a bug. I have the same issue, and 2 of my family/friends, also with S5MM kindly setup prints on their devices and had the same result.
Perhaps its why they ask you for a backup password when you set "fingerprints" up.?............(cant think of why a backup password otherwise......you cant forget your finger..
....unless you accidently chopped off relevant finger & then went and "lost" it!!!!) I am afraid we have to live with this

Cannot install any apk on my device

Please see picture attached.
I'm unable to install any applications and install button does not react on anything. Opposite button "Cancel" works fine.
Very weird situation which I never had before.
This appeared to happen when I flashed the latest Stock ROM with GNG1 bootloader and to resolve this problem I have tried 4 different Custom ROMs within the last few days but no luck, problem still persist.
And yes, I have performed full wipe and ticked "Unknown Sources" in settings.
What is interesting, problem is going away for short period of time after reboot.

This happens when you have any sort of screen overlay running, like Screen Filter.

NFC Issues - Doesn't turn on

Hi,
I have an issue with my OP5. I'm rooted with Magisk and I tried to use Card Emulator Pro app.
I think the app changed the NFC configuration of the OP5 and I can't turn on the NFC.
I tried to restore to NFC configuration back to default but it doesn't change.
Does anyone here has the same issue ?
Here is my log with the error

Hey, i just fixed it by downgrading it to a earlier version. It must have something to do with the latest version firmware. try with 5.0 it worked for me. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-t3628190 download it from here. It should fix it but it will perform a factory reset. but no media data will be lost. once downloaded place it on the phone and head to settings->update_then little ... menu and local file.
hope this helps. I use google pay alot so a fix is a must, thought it was hardware issue

Can't install/update apps from play store

So i rooted my 5 for the first time today and it all worked good. ( I used Magisk 23.0 and twrp-3.4.0-10-cheeseburger-dumpling-mauronofrio )
Now that I try to install apps or update them I get an error notification which says that it cant be downloaded and I should insert and sd card or usb storage with sufficent storage.
Some very small apps seem to be downloadable like terminal emulator.
So I tried lots of things to fix this but non worked or some step in the fix doesn't work for example tried this this and it seems to not work since some commands dont seem to work, but one command said that cache is read only which that fix is supposed to make read and write. I also tried this where i used the app and the first fix doesn't work but the second says it does but it doesn't work anyways, also the manual one fix 1 says there is no folder and fix2 seems to work but it has no output or doesn't help.
I also notice if i turn on file transfer when connected to pc and i try to check files on the phone nothing gets shown or am able to put something in it.

Omg guys new day, new beginnings and i found a fix for my problem.
Go into recovery tap advanced > tap fix contexts > reboot.
Jeez such an easy fix and I was searching for hours yesterday.
Lol, didn't PCs teach you anything?
As stable as Androids are it's easy to forget to reboot... but Gookill apks are the worst.

Flashing a custom ROM on a ZED AN817DK?

Hey fellas,
I've done some flashing on android before, but only on smartphones, instead of a car multimedia. My model is ZED AN817DK.
It looks like this:
{
"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_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The launcher it came with is kinda disgusting, so I installed Nova Launcher instead.
Regardless, the system barely works, even on the stock settings / factory reset status.
Apps are crashing, changing the audio option in Waze takes a whole 2 minutes to even open up the menu for the option
(the app works but the input is unresponsive for 2 minutes until the menu appears).
I've tried contacting the shop I bought it in and they sent me a "firmware" update in the form of an APK file that will not launch in the device. I don't think I saw an option in it's administrator settings or anywhere else to update firmware via file (only check for firmware update - and it's always "up to date").
So I think I'll resort to flash a custom rom on this. I'm a bit worried since in the scenario where things go wrong I rely only on a pen hole style reset button which I don't fully trust to reset successfully if a custom rom is installed.
Is there a general flashing guide for these devices? How safe is it, as in what are the chances of completely bricking the device?
Are there general or common roms that work well on these devices?

Hi, try to factory reset your phone.
The phone was resetted before selling. I have done another reset after i found the problem but it did not fix it.
Maybe i found something, some one have the same problem and the fix was re-flash persist.img, but i haven't understand.
At this point i have to read more on this persist, and maybe root the phone or try some custom rom.
I'm a bit upset but for 240€ (after a 25% refound for the fingerprint problem) is a good phone without the fingerprint feature.
Can someone provide me a good persist.img from Nothing os 1.5.4?
I have installed another boot.img, rooted the phone but nothing is working
any luck friend? I got the same problem
I have the same problem lol, now I can not use this function
I don't know if my device is going into this direction lol but the fingerprint recently is acting up.
