Fingerprint issue with Work Profile - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

I have been using fingerprint sensor on my Oneplus6T from the beginning. I have a work profile setup on my phone and I have added fingerprint to unlock work profile apps too.
I have always felt that the fingerprint sensor does not work well with work profile. It takes atleast 6-7 tries and sometimes does not work at all. I recently found out the reason.
The fingerprint icon for work profile does not show the animation!!! Since there is no animation, the area is not lit up and hence the fingerprint does not work. This is very strange.
I checked all the settings and could not find anything. As far as I know there is now way of turning on/off the animation as it is always required for fingerprint identification.
So I am wondering why the animation is missing when it comes to work profile unlock. Have any one else faced this issue?
Fingerprint animation works perfectly fine for phone lock, app lock etc. It only fails in case of work profile
PS: I am using Oxygen OS 9.0.14

Smart Lock not working properly

Hi! As many others, I am really happy with the S7Edge. I encountered one problem with the Smart Lock functionality though which I really find annoying.
I am using my Pebble as trusted bluetooth device. Now, when I turn off my Pebble (while the phone's screen is off), the phone should lock, right? Well, it doesn't. I am still able to turn it on one time. Only when going into standby mode for the 2nd time it requires my finger print / code in order to unlock.
It does work correctly on a Nexus device so I assume this is caused by a bad implementation by Samsung? Can anyone here confirm this behavior?
Thank you in advanced!

I can confirm you that SmartLock is crap ! I have set my car as trusted device, my headhones too and fav locations, and regularly I have to use the fingerprint or the schema.

Smart Lock works fine for me. I've never had to use a fingerprint or pin when my phone is connected to a registered BT device. I don't use locations, so can't comment on that.
Does going to lock screen and security>other security setting>trusted agents toggle smart lock off?

Home button and fingerprint gestures not working

Well, not working consistently.
Assuming it's software but figured I'd ask here to make sure it's not a hardware problem.
Few days ago, my fingerprint sensor wouldn't unlock with my finger, just nothing happened. Rebooted, rescanned my fingerprints and seems to be okay now, but I've noticed the gesture to pull down notifications using the fingerprint sensor doesn't always work. Most of the time it does, sometimes it just doesn't do anything, then a few mins later it's okay.
And then the pressure sensitive home button, most of the time it's fine, occasionally it doesn't register and there's a delay with the vibrations.
Are these software issues, and has anyone else had these issues?
I'm using Nova launcher, if that makes a difference.

Order of lockscreen images

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to control the order of the "magazine cover" images on the lock screen? I figured out had to add my own covers, but it seems to display them in the order they were added. I would prefer either random or sorted by name. Thanks.

EMUI 9.0 Fingerprint lockscreen issue

Hello all. I have Huawei P10 Plus, EMUI 9.0 with root by Magisk Manager 7.3.4 and Magisk 19.3. And I've found one issue with lockscreen. It doesn't reproduse when there is no root on phone. So I think it related to root.
It reproduces only when I use fingerprint lockscreen.
What I mean:
Fo example I've registered only 1 finger. And I've set phone brightness to min level. When I use correct finger to unlock my phone all works fine. But when I use other finger or some part of my hand - backlight of screen turns on, lockscreen stucks and phone brightness has max level. It continues about 2-3 seconds and after that backlight of screen is turns off. After that if I use correct finger I will unlock my phone as well. But if I use other finger I will see the same bug. It looks like root broke the logic of fingerprint unlocking.
Does someone know how I can fix this issues ??
because you have Rooted always issues
i never root
only stock firmware final EMUI 9.1 not issues all

[SOLVED] H872 - Updated HavocOS & now proximity sensor broke

Solution in post #4.
I have a H872. I had been running Havoc OS v3.1 10/01/2020 without any issues. This past weekend I decided to update to Havoc OS v3.4 21/04/2020 (clean flash) and everything was great until I realized that the proximity sensor wasn’t working. When I received a call the screen stayed black. Swiping down from the notification bar let me answer the call but the proximity sensor didn't work - screen stayed black. I couldn't even hang up - had to wait for the other caller to hang up. Same issue when I initiated the call.
I then tried Havoc OS v3.4 18/04/2020 (clean flash again) and the same calling/proximity sensor issue remained PLUS I could not send/receive MMS even though APN was set up exactly the same as my original configuration (I had taken screenshots of my original setup). I attempted Havoc OS v3.4 21/04/2020 once again and MMS stopped working too! As well as the proximity sensor issue.
I then restored my original nandroid of Havoc OS v3.1 10/01/2020. While it restored successfully in TWRP, it never booted into the system. It just hung on the last frame of the boot animation. I am at a complete loss as to how to fix this phone now. I have just installed MSM Xtended and the proximity sensor is still non-functioning. I have since switched my sim to my Xiaomi backup but really want to get back to my G6.
It worked perfectly…I attempted a simple upgrade and all hell has broken loose! Any tips? Please.
Update:
I completely restored the phone to stock with H872 20g kdz/LGUP and was able to send MMS but the proximity sensor was still not functioning. Can the sensor just suddenly go bad like that? It was working perfectly until I updated Havoc.
Anyway, I have re-rooted and reinstalled the latest havoc. I am hopeful that I will get MMS to work, however, am not sure the proximity sensor will. I have found here that Android 10 allows for all sensors to be disabled with a Quick Settings Tile. This would work for when I initiate a call (can use the power button to turn the screen off/on). But would not be able to activate it once a call comes in. Is there a way to automate the sensor to turn on/off automatically when a call comes in? Or better yet, just disable the proximity sensor, and only the proximity sensor, completely? Been Googling all morning but haven't found much aside from this toggle, and an Xposed mod that may not even work with Riru Xposed...not to mention I want to avoid Xposed if I can.
Still looking for advice if you have any.
Thanks!
Update 2:
I am now running the latest Havoc with working MMS but still the proximity sensor issue persists. I am getting around it by using the Quick Settings Tile/toggle that is activated in Developer Options. This turns off the proximity sensor, as well as compass, accelerometer, & gyroscope. So I have to remember to disable it after a call.
I have searched to no end for a way to disable the proximity sensor permanently but there is very little on the subject. I've tried some apps that claim to turn it off, but they have not worked for me. It seems to me it should be an easy thing to do...but no!
My request:
Someone that can explain how to disable the proximity sensor on Havoc, or someone that could maybe recompile the dialer.apk to not utilize the proximity sensor.
Thanks again!
Final update: Solved!
I decided to install EdXposed and Sensor Disabler. After a lot of experimenting I found settings that work. In Sensor Disabler I selected:
LGE Virtual Proximity Sensor & selected "Remove Sensor" and Saved
Proximity (There are 2 listed - I set both the same) & selected Mock Sensor Values & set them to the highest setting possible and Saved.
Now I can make & receive calls and have access to the Accept/Reject/Message functions, as well as the keypad to input if needed and can end calls. The power button is easily accessible on the back and turns the screen off & on during a call, so I can keep it off the whole time I'm talking.
Not the most ideal situation but works for me considering the proximity sensor is completely useless now. Hope this helps anyone else in the same predicament.
EDIT - Sensor Disabler doesn't appear to be the most reliable. After a reboot it's hit or miss if it will work. It seems that after rebooting it takes a couple minutes for the app to "kick" in and function...but then it only seems to work more for incoming calls. Ultimately I am still using the Quick Settings tile to turn off all sensors during calls.
