S10+ and fingerprint sensor problems - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Is the S10+ touched by the recent news/problems discovered about the Fingerprint sensor being easily fooled ? Being a boosted S10 does have the same problems ?

I can unlock with my left thumb but my right thumb was what i scanned into the phone[emoji12]

That only really applies when using a screen protector. If your that paranoid just wipe off that part of the screen after you lock it.

I received a biometrics update this morning for improvements and fingerprint version 2. Or something like that. Caught me off guard as it wasn't a normal monthly OTA.

Funny people are saying that truth is I have tried to do it and no chance mine won't allow me to use any finger not registered... Don't know how they doing it my screen protector is a gel type one from spigen....

Fingerprint to sign in to apps

My previous phone was the Galaxy S6 and it allowed me to use my fingerprint to sign in to apps.
My nexus 6p doesn't. Is there a setting I need to enable to get this feature?
Here's a picture from my wife's gs6

Here's a screenshot from my nexus 6p
Notice how her galaxy s6 has three option to sign in using her fingerprint but mine doesn't?
How do I get the nexus 6p to allow this?
Both phones are running game through most recent version of the bank of America app.

Apps will have to be update to allow for nexus fingerprint. Samsung uses own proprietary app that BOA app was updated to work with. They will come eventually as more phones go to this method.
It says it right in the app description:
"Note: Fingerprint sign-in is currently only supported for select Samsung devices. We’ll be adding support for more devices in future releases."
Yea it sucks. Very slow adoption rate

Mostly because most still think it's a gimmick like 3d screens. Once it has been common place for a year or so you will see more adaption...if it lasts that long.

Palm Swipe Screen Capture Not Working

Just noticed that swiping to capture screen not working. It is ON in Advanced Features. Menu button + Power button does do a screen capture however. No change with different launchers.
Can anyone duplicate or recommend a fix? Thanks
Notice same thing it doesn't work
I got mine turned off usually, just turned it on for testing after I saw this thread, and it's working fine in both directions.
Is it not working sometimes? Or not at all?

Well I figured it out for my phone. I have the phone in a Caseology Wavelength case. Swipe Capture doesn't work. When I take the phone out of the case, swipe to capture works. I put the phone into a cheap clear gel case that I first got with the phone and swipe to capture works.. Very strange. Wonder what the case is doing to prevent the function.

Home screen spazzed out

It happened after I recently installed the most recent security update for June. It seems that the issue only happens with my home screen, my app drawer works fine all applications work fine, the phone works perfectly fine it's just the home screen that's all bugged out.
I've turned the phone on and off twice as far as troubleshooting goes and didn't solve anything.
Any clues on what to do and if you need any more info from me to troubleshoot it more. Thanks everybody
Clear cache and data for the home screen you are using, try a different home screen and see if you still have issues

Cleared the cache and data and tried different home screens. It's still just bugging out
Seen this on reddit. Some are saying it's a feature, working as intended. https://m.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/4lv8wd/whenever_i_change_my_wallpaper_to_anything_that/
I think it looks pretty cool.

Package Disabler Pro Samsung

Just bought this how are you finding it? I haven't used it yet but was wondering if it was affecting update...Got the S7 Edge OXA manufactured 26/5/2016 on January 3rd from CPW was unlocked got 7.0 update straight away but fast charge wouldn't work and normal charge took 10 hours so they replaced it yesterday with XEU manufactured 14/1/2017 now I'm back on 6.0.1 with no update...Are there better options?
If you're talking about the app by Police Developer (there seem to be multiple apps with very similar names), I find it broken. It was working fine on MM, then I upgraded to Nougat, and it tells me I don't have a license and can't activate it. Which is BS, because I paid for it months ago. No response from the developer at all.

Toast message badly aligned under DQD2

Hello,
Message in toast notification are not correctly aligned (vertically and horizontally). Could you confirm that I am not the only one? ROM : G935FXXU1DQD2_DevBase_v4.1
Maybe linked to ROM or maybe Samsung bug?
Any advice is welcome.
Thx

Are you root?
If you're change this line/value in build.prop
from
ro.sf.lcd_density=480
to
ro.sf.lcd_density=640
This fix mine.

Thx a lot NonXtreme, issue solved!
Thank you so much for this.
Annoying issue. Fixed!
Any fix for us non-rooties?

Toast notifications aligning incorrectly since Nougat update on my Samsung S7, can confirm a firmware issue not previously present on a non-rooted device. Spoken with Samsung support who have placed this on their patch list.
I confirm the problem also after the recent update on my Galaxy S7 Edge, seems like a firmware issue.

Last response fixed it for me
change your screen resolution to 1080p, text and display zoom to normal, then reboot your phone. after reboot, restore your display settings and voila. everything goes back to normal.
