[Q] Multiple fingers for fingerprint scanner - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any performance implications of using multiple fingers with the scanner as opposed to just one?

Shouldn't be. I'm using 4 and it works flawlessly.

[Q] About TouchScreenTune

I'm planning to use this app. But I'm not sure if this app may be harmful like overclocking. Anyone knows how does it work? Is it tuning touchscreen by changing the software based settings or the hardware settings for the touchscreen (like the voltage used by touchscreen)? Has anyone used this app before on SGS2?
Isnt that for tablets though?
As this is SGS2 and the app is for Galaxy NOTE you would have to volunteer to test it .

Not just for Gnote or tablets:

There aren't any problems on my SGS2's touchscreen, but I just want it to act like iPad when you touch lightly+quickly.
Isn't there anyone who has a suggestion about this app?
It works fine and does it's magic through software settings in the kernel. Just don't set the movehyst to some stupidly low value as your touchscreen won't detect touch. Just set the TCHTHR to a low value like 5-10 and you're good to go.
I tend to not use the auto load at start function as it renders my touchscreen unresponsive for 3 seconds. Instead, I live by going into the app to hit apply each time I reboot the phone.
There was only one sensitivity setting in the app that I've downloaded here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161262
There wasn't multiple settings like movehyst and TCHTHR as you told. Or is there something like Advanced Options in the app? (I'm not using the app currently)

Curious if any other note owners have the same issue with the auto fit to screen in the browser. There is absolutely no change whether on or off. Again that's the fit to screen option in the browser not working. Thanks
Same issue with me. Quite disappointed.

Thanks for the reply, only found two bugs so far. The previous mentioned above and some text issues hoping the release of ics addresses these problems. I left sprint for this phone with 4 early termination fees, AT&T don't make me go back.. Sad thing is regardless of which browser I use nothing seems to fix the auto fit.
Sad if a minor browser issue makes you change carriers.
The stock android browser sucks. Miren is flawless

I just turned on Auto-Fit in the stock browser and it works for me... I am stock rooted.

No the browser issue isn't enough for me to leave. as far a rooting I'm waiting out the 30 trial just to be cautious. After that I'll create a tar ball recovery file via odin, and begin to mess around with some of the system files.
The first thing on my list is a custom themed dialer activity tab, not a huge fan of the stock dial pad from Samsung,, but I do love the phone..
Here's how I do it on mine..
Start off in Portrait position.
bring up the web page with your stock browser..
then either double tap on it or pinch zoom it a bit..(if not an m.mobile web page)
then rotate to landscape position..
BAM.. the 'auto-fit' kicks in..
I believe it works visa-verse too..
I always start in portrait then rotate to landscape.
it works for me.. good luck
ps.. if this works for you... hit me with a 'thanks' button..
That worked but every time you resize by pinching you have to keep rotating it so it kicks in again,that is definitely a bug.
To funny,, your right it works if you keep rotating. Oh well Samsung just wants to insure we get lots of hands on and interaction with the phone.
Ditto here it works fine. You just need to check mark auto fit web page in browser settings.

Ok so I tried the double tapping and that works as well but since the text still looked small I adjusted the default zoom in browser settings and much better.
I have a Galaxy S II (T-989) and use Dolphin HD Browser and it seems to work great on my device. Might be worth giving a shot on the note.
I just ordered a Note so I'm pre-troubleshooting so I know what issues to look out for and how to solve them when it comes in
Works fine for me in opera

[Q] Phone Storage Encryption Breaks Fingerprint Scanner?

OK, this has to be a bad joke:
I never had an issue with the Fingerprint Scanner on the HTC One Max. It always worked for me. I didn't mind the nuance of having to place my finger on the scanner exactly, because for some reason I always did. It always worked, and it did its job just fine to log me into my phone.
But here's where things don't make sense: when I enable the Phone Storage Encryption, it completely breaks the fingerprint scanner. After I was done encrypting, it disappeared. So its not just broken: its gone. No setting options, doesn't exist anymore under Settings.
This has to be a bad joke. How did HTC not foresee users wanting to encrypt their file system? Why not set up the fingerprint scanner as a means of 2-factor authentication? Obviously Android requires the typed password to log in, but have the fingerprint scanner not even exist anymore? Can't even use it to load special apps? Nothing?
Can someone explain this to me?
I have a lot of other issues with Sense 5.5 (Unable to change lock screen anymore, no proper default video player, no music equalizer installed by default, by a company that prided itself with its Beats Audio EQ capabilities in the HTC One...), but I'm going to leave this here for now. Can anyone explain what the hell happened when HTC designed the fingerprint scanner to "work" on this phone?
Did you just register on XDA to make this thread??? OK, thats a bad joke.
if you had searched or read the forum here, yes that is a known behaviour. we don't know the reasons behind all those.

Umidigi X fingerprint scanner

I recently bought a Umidigi X from AliExpress and I ran into a small problem. The in screen fingerprint sensor only works for unlocking the phone. Can't use it for app authentication. Am I just missing something or is it a feature that hasn't been implemented yet for the in screen style?
Same problem here.
Answer from Umidigi support (october 12, 2019):
Hi,
Sorry for your inconvenience.
This is a known problem and it will be fixed in the next update, the release time of the new update maybe this end of Oct.
Regards
UMIDIGI
Have any one try to flash the actual official SPFLashTool package ROM ?
I have do a try, and the phone cannot be turn on at all
Same problem with the fingerprint scanner. Received update 10/25/19 and problem still exists... I filed a dispute with ali express and received a partial refund.
Yeah same here with it not working. It definitely works better on the lock screen, before I was getting about a 95% failure rate but now it works almost every time. So they fixed some things but didn't fix the app authentication problem. Hopefully in the next update. I really like the phone besides just a few bugs that could be solved with updates or hopefully some good custom roms.

Umidigi reaction today: Dear,we will push new version the problem this week. Our colleauge told you the wrong time ,so sorry for unpleasant. hope you can wait for more several days.
My reaction: We'll see if the fingerprint problem is solved this week.
I have the same problem, got the updates but still doesn't work.
It is working now! Tested on two Umidigi X with PayPal app and Cortal Consors app.
Umidigi X 11/13 partially fixed inscreen fingerprint issue with third party apps
Tested new update 11/13 on my UMIDIGI X. It's working partially. Looks like Android Phone Security module doesn't wake the in screen fingerprint sensor and any apps using this still don't work... Few of many apps that still do not work with inscreen fingerprint are Expense Manager, Dunkin Donuts, FiOS, Bank of America, Bluebird by AMEX, etc.
Another Update???
So i have UMIDIGI_X_V1.0_20190912_20191113-1521. If i am reading this correctly it's the 11/13 update. If so has anyone had success in getting the sensor to work for apps? If so how, and which ones? I got the prompt to ask me if i want to use the fingerint sensor on my Banking apps. But nothing happens when i press it. Like was said up here it looks like Android Phone Security module doesn't wake the in screen fingerprint sensor.
Any solutions?
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
I have the same problem and I just got my phone yesterday. When any App asks to press the fingerprint scanner now, the in screen scanner does not react. The phone unlocks with the scanner fine but when within any App, the in screen scanner does not seem to be activated. This is my 3rd Umidigi phone and this is really disappointing. I have so many apps and I cannot remember all of the password. IF this is not fixed, the phone will not be fit for use. Umidigi, please fix this quickly!!

Actually my banking app is working with the fingerprint scanner now. For about 2 weeks.

Question Swiping doesn't work

Hello guys, I am having trouble on using Redmi Note 10 Global as the swiping stopped working from a week.
Its too difficult to use Gesture Navigation, Scrolling etc. where swiping is used. But tapping works on anywhere.
I thought it was due to MIUI but the problem still exists even after I installed xiaomi.eu
Is it just me or is it for everyone? Is there any fixes to this problem?
It doesn't matter if it's global, EU or otherwise.
The phone doesn't care and has identical hardware.
The difference can only be in the build quality and especially in the versions. It is necessary to use the latest available version for all types.
So in these cases without full backup. Perform a factory reset.
