Hi guys, I really need help with this. Please, is there any way to completely turn off the fingerprint scanner? Like firmware - driver - disable turn off. It's really pissing me off from the day i got the tablet.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Since the ota update I can't turn on the pattern unlock without having the slide to unlock staying on also. It's either both or none. Any idea how to just have the pattern unlock? Thx!

I'm in the same boat as you and it is frickin annoying. Any help out there?
I cant turn off the slide lock at all. How are you turning it off?

Sorry fellas this is one of the annoyances with 2.2, no way around it. Its either nothing at all or the redunadant slide to unlock then enter pattern. Stupid and annoying I know. Hopefully they patch this with a future update.
I personally don't like having a screen lock at all. When I press the power button to bring my screen back I like it to go right to the home screen.
I know it increases the changes of 'butt dialing', etc, but I have very little issue with that.
At any rate, on 2.1 you could turn off all locks. When I moved to the Froyo leak, I lost the ability to turn off the slide to unlock screen.
Went into the market and found 'No Lock' from BoD. Simple little Toggle program that turns on/off the screen lock.
Doesn't seem to effect the situation with both slide & pattern locks, but does allow you to turn ALL the locks off (like I like )
Hope that helps.
This will also cause all buttons to wake up the phone. The screen lock is about my only gripe with 2.2.

Thanks for the replies. Guess we'll have to wait for a patch then. You can turn off both by going into the security menus btw.

Hi all,
My power button is more or less broken and I am having a hard time, turning on the screen. Turning off is not a problem because I use a screen off and lock application. But turning on is a nightmare for me.
Can anyone suggest any alternative for me to solve the problem?
Maybe remapping my volume rockers to turn on the display?
I'm on stock android, 4.3 (I can root it if needed) but I would prefer to stick to Stock ROM rather than a custom rom (which offers volume rocker wake). I would really really appreciate your help. Thanks guys in advance.
Sorry I'm in a hurry here but there's a mod/app called TouchControl that might help you. If I remember well it allows you to turn the screen back on with gestures when it's off.
Later I can help to find it around if you or someone didn't until there. Sorry.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that app before and it occasionally hanged my screen. I prefer to use my volume rockers or maybe something else. Anyway, your help is appreciated.

Try WidgetLocker from the play store. I believe it has that option. You don't need root too.
Hello,
Anyone having the same issue I'm having? During a normal call my phone won't wake when I remove it from my ear. Even if I push the home button or power button it won't turn on at all. This is a problem especially when I want to end the call or select different options. It seems like the phone is still up against my ear and the touch screen is not active. I don't know of this is a proximity sensor problem software problem. Any help is much associated. Thank you in advance.

Try to clean the proximity sensor.
And type this on your dialer *#0*# to check if there is an issue.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I did the test and seems like it's working. Even during the test Sometimes it still doesn't turn off on its own. Any other suggestions? I doubt it right.

I'm enjoying using it to turn the screen on with a verified fingerprint, but find myself at times thinking that long pressing it will also turn it off. Seems like a neat feature, but before I think too much of it, is it something that can be done?
I'd think that'd be a cool xposed module. I have zero brains or skill to do it though lol.
Just press the power button!

Hello again,
Glad to see the forums gaining traction with this phone now.
So, at bed time I like turn off all vibrations so my girlfriend can not.be disturbed. This is always easy to do EXCEPT for the finger print sensor. The only way I know to turn off the vibration on it is to put on DND mode (total silence.)
This has the desired effect. The PROBLEM is that I cannot listen to any audio in my headphones with this on.
Is there a vibrate on/off switch for the finger print sensor? The only solution I have found is to turn off the one button nav and disable vibrate on tap... But there must be a way to just turn off vibrate on the fingerprint sensor... Anyone?
Thanks in advance!

I wish there was a way, but I haven't found one either.

Has anyone tried that?
Another way is to turn on battery saver.
The fingerprint vibration is especially annoying when using one button nav :/ wish it would turn off when that is enabled
