Hey guys,
I registrated for this issue, but still I want to thank all of you here. I've found help here for many many years before, so thank you for that .
Now I need to describe my problem to get some help: I've bought my Z1 October last year and suddenly since yesterday the fingerprint reader feels just kinda broken. What I mean is that on Cyanogen OS 12.1 (stock) the fingerprint reader just stopped working completely. I then flashed CM13 (newest nightly) and here it is working, but only when I wake up the phone with the ON/OFF button, and not the home button with the integrated fingerprint reader.
When I use the ON/OFF button everything works perfect, but the home button doesn't work in like 9 out of 10 times. Now I wonder if the fingerprint reader is just broken already or if this is "just" some software issue. But I don't really think that the fingerprint reader is broken, because why didn't it work at all on Cyanogen OS 12.1 but now just not the home screen? I don't know.
Is there any way to test if the fingerprint reader is actually broken? Or another way to fix this? I really, really like the Z1 so far, but this really bugs me.
Thanks in advance .
PS: If this issue was already a topic I'm sorry, i didn't find it. And forgive my english, it's not my mother tongue.
Now that's funny.. exactly the same thing happened to me. All of a sudden, fingerprint reader stopped working yesterday, without having installed an update. When I now try to active fingerprint, it sort of crashes, vibrating for a long time and speeding through the ' fingerprint tutorial' as if I were touching it, which I'm not. This, combined with some random rebooting and crashing. Just did a factory reset and doesn't solve the problem. Not sure whether the reader is broken, but I'm getting pretty fed-up with Cyanogenmod.
Ok that's very interesting. Kinda sounds like it would be a broken update or something, even tho we both didn't install an update. Very strange.
Which OS are you running right now? Is it the same you were running when the issues started? I kinda thought about trying out ZUI, but I've heard it's kinda complicated to get it to work and to go back to CM if required.
running CM12.1. Guess I just wait and see if 13.0 solves the problem.. if they are ever gonna finish that this year. Phone is a lot quicker after the reset btw.. so that is recommendable
Yes, maybe I will try out CM12.1 later today and reply if it worked for me or not. At least CM13 is working like half the time.
Edit: Where can I download the CM12.1 stable? I can't find it on the CM site.
Many people including me are having this problem. We can't find a solution: it's almost one month since fingerprint stopped working.
Home button stopped working too, so I have to use onscreen buttons now. Really frustrated

OK, that's very strange and very frustrating. Gladly my homebutton is still working. But this sounds like a serious issue. And it sounds like a software issue.
Are you using Cyanogen OS?
I am on cyanogenmod 13. I tried to switch between many ROMs, tried to go back to cyanoOS with QFIL but had the same problem you mentioned (phone fast skipping the initial configuration of fingerprint, or always vibrating)
After some days, home button stopped working too (it works 1 time out of 6-7)

Damn, that really sucks. I hope this won't happen to my phone too. I was really happy with the Z1 until now, but why tose issues started with so many people now?
Did you think about sending it back?
I don't really know!
Yes, as soon as I'll get a spare phone I'll send it to China (I've ordered it from Gearbest so I will have to wait for months to get it back)

Damn, bad news. Well I wish you the best with your Z1!
Hey
I just have an status update if anyone else is having this problem and finds this thread.
After my Z1 having terrible battery life on CM13 I went back to the stock Rom (Cyanogen OS 12.1). Right after I've used the Zuk Z1 root tool (to find here on xda) to go back to stock my phone told me that there is a new official update. Right now I'm running stock Cyanogen OS 12.1 YOG4PAS60J. I've just tried out the fingerprint reader again and now it works without any troubles. So it seems like this was just a software issue.
I will try it out more detailed the next days but for now it works wonderful. I hope this is helpful for someone who is having the same problems.

Hey, yes of course I can do this. And no, the Z1 root tool I meant is another one. I will link it in the steps.
1) I've flashed CM13 Nightlies, later I've clearly flashed the CM13 Snapshot
2) Because the Fingerprint Reader wasn't really working on CM13 either and I had terrible battery life I went back to Stock Cyanogen OS 12.1
3) To archieve that I#ve used this tool from Mauronofrio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/orig-development/tool-toolzukz1eng0-0-3-mauronofrio-t3332563
4) I used the instructions in the linked thread to go back to Stock
5) After everything went fine I was setting my phone up when I got a popup for a new Update OTA: YOG4PAS60J
6) I've installed that
7) After like 2 or 3 days I tried out of curiosity if maybe the fingerprint reader works again, and it does.
That's all I've done. After some testing with the fingerprint reader I think my fingerprint reader has still a little bit loose contact, but it works pretty good. So I think it's a mix out of an hardware and an software issue.
I hope I could help you a little bit.
EDIT: It started to not work anymore. I just said "**** it" and disabled the fingerprint reader now. Im very sure now that it's only a hardware problem.
This is exactly what happened to mine! In about 2 days it started lagging a lot and almost stopped working. When I tried to set new fingerprints, it just got stuck in the screen. Did a factory reset (including user data!), tried to set fingerprints and on the 1st try, it just speeds through the wizard without me touching the fingerprint reader, on the 2nd, it starts to vibrate like I was pressing it and I've to force the shutdown to stop. Pretty disappointed with this right now. :/

Hey people.
I had the same problem few days ago. It happened when i restored the stock rom back through twrp. Now i have flashed dirty unicorns 6.0 and the finger print seems to be working fine now.
the problem is in hardware button on my zuk fingerprint stopped working around 1 year ago i tried installing various softwares as zui or cm13 but it did not worked so i have use it only as home button then around half year ago it just stopped working i decided to buy it for 10 dollars from ali express after dissambelling the phone and installing it works now with all functions so the problem is only hardware maybe installing some zip folder will help you for a while but it will stop working soon by the way dissasmbeling the screen was wery hard i have done that with a heat pistol on 300°c
I have a Remix Ultratablet model SK1WG running OS 2.0.302. My list of likes of the tablet is long, my one BIG dislike is that the tablet reboots at random intervals, with a virility of programs running, I have kept notes on the occurrences and no pattern can be discerned. I contacted Remix and received the following answer:
From Cameron Yan (Jide), Our engineers have already been made aware of the issue and are troubleshooting as possible as they can. Best, The Remix Team
Does anyone else have this problem? Are there any solutions? Is there a discussion on this issue? Any help or insights will be appreciate.

Yes, I also have had my tablet to reboot for no apparent reason. I have no solution for it.
Yes I'm suffering from this too. The same issues been happening since RemixOS 1.5.
I have connected my tablet up to android up to android studio to see of I could catch a log of the issue when it reboot but unbelievably it didn't have the issue, I left it running for over 24 hour and it didn't reboot.
I have notice that the issue only happens when the device is in sleep or deep sleep. I have up'ed the display sleep to 30 min and it never seem to suffer when I'm using it or the screen is on.
I really hope they can fix this soon as its a great table apart from this.
I downloaded app to see why my gyro is weird and there i can se that gyro or orientation does not work and it did before joining beta.
Is this a known issue?
Can i solve it somehow?
I got ota yesterday so a pretty new build i guess
I am not rotted i havet it all original
I've had a similar if not the exact same issue as of obtaining this device. I enrolled in the beta around the third Dev preview (immediately after I purchased the phone, it's still fairly new as of writing this), at the end of the fourth preview I started having the same issue, gyroscope just spontaneously stopped working. At first I thought it was a hardware issue after doing some research (apparently some Nexus 6P users gyroscopes are just getting stuck or something along the lines of that?? And they'll report it working again after a few good smacks to the thigh.) I would have assumed this to be the issue but I found that rebooting the device actually fixed it temporarily, but after a few hours it stops working again. I'm now using the fifth and final dev preview and it's still an issue. The fact that rebooting fixes the issue (temporarily) and not smacking the phone around in my scenario leads me to believe this is a dev preview bug.
Yeah it looks like it. Never har trouble before but after updating ro beta it started.
Anyone know if this is a known bug?
its a known bug just restart your phone if gyro isnt working.
I have been using zuk z1 and i am facing this really annoying problem. While playing songs if i turn on the device screen the volume almost doubles all of a sudden. I dont know why this is happening and if this is common among all the zuk z1. I have faced this with zuk z1 running on cm12.1 stock, cm13 release, and cm13 latest nightlies. someone please suggest me a flashable zip or any solution that would heal this problem for ever. Also tell me how to get double tap to wake on cm 13 snapahot release. Thanks a lot.

Tried another player? I never had this issue on any rom with Headphone jack or Bluetooth. Double tap to wake you must use nightly i guess or other roms like nuclear
Yes, tried four different devices. Multiple audio players. All shows same behavior. Audio suddenly increases on screen wake. Same thing happening in stock rom and other stable Cm13 and nightlies too.

Try disable audio visualization. It's inside lockscreen settings.

Awesome. That worked. Out of curiosity, how did you find it? Last few months caused so much pain in my ears. Thanks a lot buddy!!! I guess now some devs might finally redo few lines of code.

Hello, I'm searching a rom based on android 7.x, i've tried rr 5.8.3 but i had the fp problem and battery drain, all other roms 7 have fp problem. I want a good rom with no battery drain and fp working. if there isn't one ,link me a good rom 6.0
On next day should be released miui 9 dev for our device. Keep an eye on this thread https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-weekly-rom-releases.103/
Any update?
I can't say for sure about FP since all the recent Nougat roms have worked fine for me regarding FP.
I would recommend LOS from 28/8 for the battery alone. It's pretty close to MIUI:

My initial tests with LOS 28/8 were great, but there is a bug with the stock camera app. When recording video at night the recording is very dark and has some artifacts. I was able to get around this using Bacon Camera (Open Camera and Footej Camera also work). Other than that I haven't noticed any bug except for compass being out of whack, but I'm sure it'll be fixed soon.
No reason to be scared though, if you backup in TWRP you can always roll back.

I have not tried the fix for USB notifications, but the auto-brightness one works just fine. Do you have the post on 4pda regarding USB notifications fix? Would like to read up on it before I flash it.

Both fixes are bootimages, so they cannot be installed together. I guess the later fix (brightness) already contains the charging notification fix.
I think I have a good Lineage build based on other guys' sources. I'm testing it for a couple of weeks - no reboots, all the bugs seem to be fixed, battery lasts for about 2 days for me. Drop me a message if interested - if there will be a decent demand, I'll publish my build... and may be ResurrectionRemix.
