Can someone please check how well the fingerprint scanner works? Is it better than the s5 fingerprint scanner that was a piece of crap?!?!
I set it up and already stopped using it. Failed too many times and I couldn't get private mode to work which is the only reason why I wanted the fingerprint.

I have read somewhere that the fingerprint scanner is the same as the s5, so no it's not any better.
I just started using it. Seems fine so far. I'll report back tomorrow after I've spent more time with it.
Works fine. :good:
Works fine with me. 8 out of 10 times I don't need to re-swipe. I like it.

Found out that my fingerprint private mode and s health crashing is due to xposed. Pretty much ducks considering you basically have to choose what you want most

Is Xposed the pesky app doing that? I just installed Xposed and YouTube Adaway, after I did that the S Health app stopped working.
works great. this is now my go to. i'm quite surprised how well it worked. maybe it was how i registered my prints. who knows.

Yeah, was pretty upset that I can't use the hrm with xposed or private mode. I tried the whole changing the build prop ro.securestorage trick but it caused nova launcher to crash until I changed it back. Smh.
I would use the fingerprint scanner but when I'm excited, my hands get sweaty. Hands have been sweaty for the past 6 hours or so messing around with this beast lol.
Gotta wait till I calm down :b.

I uninstalled xposed framework and wanam because I noticed that if they are
active it makes the screen scrolling in most any app and launcher scrolling
from home screen to home screen after a while the scrolling gets stuck for a
few seconds intermittently. (like a slight delay where the phone feels like it locked up)...
The phone never done that before installing xposed framework and wanam.
Sweet!! I hated the s5 scanner and love my iphone 6 plus scanner. I'm selling my iphone to get the note 4 and would be upset to lose the ability to unlock my phone using the scanner. Got to keep these chicks out of my phone lol lol

I had the samething happened to me. I didn't think of uninstalling xposed. I had to odin back 2 twice because removing root and doing the factory reset just made the phone rebooting. Everything ran great until i installed xposed. Its ruuning great now without xposed app. Don't want to mess with it anymore.

I've noticed this too. You think its just something that can be fixed with updates to xposed? to calibrate it to work smoother with the note 4?
Been using it since I got my unit and it works perfectly every time unless I swipe across it sideways or something weird like that. Also on the subject of xposed I loaded it onto the phone and had nothing but issues and massive slow downs, once I removed it the phone went back to normal. So I guess xposed just isn't ready yet.
I like it and I have no problem.
You get 10 times to record it, so I swipe it straight, sideways, that way, this way, etc
It work for me!

it slowed the phone down and froze as well on mine but i noticed that it had to do something with gaining root access. Like installing aftermarket apps took forever as the installation process just hung when on wifi. (dont ask me but i noticed the wifi would reconnect and the the app installed). After a while though, (app settings started actually working) the device was snappy. Not sure if the system needed to settle or what but everything seems to be working fine. The only thing not working for me is the private mode. Without private mode, i have no use for the fingerprint and with the spigen neo hybrid, i cant get it to actually register my heart rate so unless i take the case off i wont be using that either i suppose.

I just assumed xposed just wasn't ready for the note 4 yet. I got a lot of weird issues the moment I put it on and it was like pulling teeth to remove it because I came to depend on a lot of stuff it did. But I am sure it will get an update and be working again. It was just weird to see how crappy the system got all of a sudden, I had 4 photos on my phone and not linked to dropbox or drive but when I tried to open the gallery it would hang for 2 minutes before displaying the four images. I think we maybe expecting to much from a phone that isn't "out" yet (or was today the launch date)

i didn't have that issue but i did notice hangs in and out of numerous apps. to be honest, i haven't noticed it anymore though. It felt as though something was going on in the background and now that its done, it seems to have smoothed out. i wish i had the same experience with the fingerprint scanner though. I noticed when swiping down with my pointing finger, that it registers pretty well but when we hold our device... we typically use our thumbs and i couldn't get my thumb to unlock the phone as well as my pointing finger.
Anybody else having this issue? I cant figure out what is causing it all the sudden. I did not do anything different to the phone. Touchwiz just started crashing a lot out of the clear blue. I even did a factory data reset to try to fix it and that did not help at all. I am wondering if it is being caused by some kind of recent app update? Maybe system webview? That has caused problems for me before with other apps.

Mine just started doing the same thing the other day and it is pretty persistent.
This was happening to me too. I was using a material design theme. Resetting the theme to the default and then back to the one I wanted seems to have temporarily resolved the issue. It's only been a few hours, but no crashes so far. I'll update this if I start getting crashes again.
Same Problem, it started after i did a bunch of update requests.
Yep...here too
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A
Are any regular S6 owners experiencing this?
It happened to me again once about an hour ago. It is less persistent after re applying my theme.
OK guys are all of you running package disabler pro? I have been running it since day one with no issue. Since disabling it I have not had any further problems. Apparently a recent update caused some sort of issue.

I had package disabler installed but no apps disabled with it. I have now uninstalled it and will see if anything changes.
Still persists after removing package disabler. Hope this gets resolved soon.

Yup same here. Worked fine after re enabling everything for a while them bam it struck again. So its not package disabler. I am at a loss. Even starting fresh didnt help it. It is apparently not anything we are doing but a samsung issue instead.
Strangely enough, the problem seems to have resolved itself.
hi!
I bought my Zewatch 3 for wife.. its quite ok.. but very slow an touch need some improvement..
Is ther a bug and will be fixed in new updates,.. or is zenwatch chipset / processor so slow compared to 2 years old Lg watch r ??

"Watch too slow" is a pretty generic statement. It's like "my computer doesn't work".
I've found the ZW3 to be pretty zippy, much faster than the Moto 360. What exactly are you doing that is "slow?"
maybe it was still in the first time synchronization process?
sometimes, especially if you use custom complex watch face, it can be slow.
but most of the time, it's zippy.
Mine was snappy...ever since it updated to the new firmware last week it's been really laggy. I factory reset with no changes...kinda disappointed

How was Your battery life --> before update (when it was snappy) ?
I think Lagg also kills battery.. as mine lasts only 7h..

Was about the same thing...I made my battery last longer by setting the "Tilt to wake" option off tho
Battery is much better now
Find it in the Android Wear app > top corner gear > device settings
Same for my Zenwatch 2. Some Watchmaker face are unusable because too slow ?
I wonder if Asus do not use only 1 core of the processor to save the batterie ?

I've been having a similar issue. Randomly, the watch will suddenly start to lag and will remain horribly laggy until I reboot. Then it will be fast for maybe a couple of hours, or even a couple of days, and then without warning it gets laggy again. Originally I thought it was happening only with Watchmaker faces but I've since uninstalled it (along with all third party watch faces), and I'm finding the exact same thing happens with Asus watch faces as well. I've factory reset and it made no difference. I did not experience this prior to the latest firmware update, but it's hard to say definitively that it was the cause.

Mine only gets laggy if I have "always-on screen" turned on. I don't know why it does that...

Exactly the same for me. That seems to be the one setting that makes a difference for the lag I'm experiencing. For me, even toggling Theatre Mode on and off will speed up the watch immediately after. But if Always On is on, it will proceed to eventually lag again.

Since posting that, I've determined that it's somehow tied to Screen Always On mode. Once the watch begins to lag, if I toggle Theatre Mode on and off (effectively turning off and on the screen), suddenly the watch becomes extremely fast and smooth again. This lasts a short while before the lag eventually returns. If I turn Screen Always On to off, then the issue doesn't occur at all. It's as though turning off the screen somehow clears whatever it is that's causing the lag.
For me all lags are gone by removing ZenFit app from system.. UI is now snappy and fast...!

How were you able to remove ZenFit from the watch? I presume you had to root or use a modified ROM?

No need to remove or uninstall zenfit from the watch only the phone.
By default zenfit is turned off, you can easily tell if zenfit is turned off or not.
If you are not getting any notifications from zenfit it means it's not enabled.
Once zenfit is uninstalled from your phone you should not get any notifications
from zenfit and it should not appear in your app list where all your other apps
are located.
Good luck, have a great day! .

Unfortunately that's not my experience. Zenfit was never installed on my phone but came pre-installed on the watch. It seemed to be enabled by default and there was no way to disable it. The only option was to block notifications. I did try to install Zenfit on the phone and then remove it, but it doesn't remove it from the watch.

Unlocked bootloader, Installed TWRP, disabled dm-verify and via TWRP file manager removed the app.. no ROOT needed!

Sorry to bother, I followed your steps, unlocked bootloader, flashed the ROM that's floating around the forum. Everything works well, but I still have some lag, so I wanted to remove ZenFit as well. I booted into TWRP, mounted system, but can't find the app...do you happen to remember where it is exactly? And the name lol
Thanks!
Edit: After a few minutes the watch seems to have stopped lagging, was probably still loading stuff. I can't find ZenFit anywhere, so maybe it's removed in the custom ROM. I'll keep you posted. Thanks

remove whole folder /system/app/AsusWellness
remember to set anything else for upper button as its set for open Zenfit by default...
PS: I am not using that custom ROM... just stock...
My watch was a bit laggy sometimes, like after first start, or when syncing, but otherwise comparable in speed with Watch Urbane or G Watch and after SW update it got a bit better. However, only after ingbrzy's magic the watch flies now. It is impressive just how fast the watch became after removing Zenfit app. It also boots fast as hell! No need for custom roms and other bs.
FYI, I was having troubles connecting the watch storage to computer (win8) for flash files to be put on watch. So I had to use alternative methods. Wear File Transfer app worked for me. It creates FTP server on watch.
Does anyone have problems downloading with google play??
The problem happened around 3 days ago. I was trying to download something when it said "connection timed out, please try again after some time". After a few hours still I cannot load google play nor download anything
I have tried all the solutions possible for google play, service and framework ( clear cache, uninstall updates, remove accout, reboot, clear dalvik) but the connection only works in the beginning then after like 2 mins then "connection timed out" again appears.
For sure my internet connection is strong and I'm sure my ISP is not blocking google play because I can access it via web. What's weird is when I use a VPN, google play all of a sudden works flawlessly.. can anyone help me in diagnosing where exactly is the problem?
I have the same exact problem on my galaxy note 8!. My Google play store won't load anything if I'm on Wi-Fi or on cellular Data!!
But with the VPN it works!
I had a similar problems. I got the Samsung Disconnect Pro app when it was free. I installed that then had the same problems. Turned it off and everything was good. After a day turned it on and now working correctly.

Try looking at your power options, it might be sleeping wifi (im presuming it happening on wifi). The VPN thing might solve it cause VPN usually does not sleep wifi properly

I had this exact same issue on my note 8. I blame the smart switch app on these issues. I usually always do a fresh install but this time tried to be fancy and tried that.

Anyway thanks for the inputs guys, I found the culprit and it has to do with an app I downloaded and installed outside the playstore coz it was not available in my country. Once I uninstalled it the playstore came back to normal.

I understand how you feel. I felt like that for a week. I hope someone will come up with asolution for you.
If you don't mind can you disclose what app was causing you issues, I'm deleting, restarting and clearing my play store memory hoping to solve this issue but no luck so far
ok long shot but try going into
Connections-->Wi-Fi-->Advanced (menu on top right)-->Wi-Fi control history
to see if there are any apps messing with your wi-fi
Thank you... the history is clear there is nothing. But that's probably because I keep restarting the phone. Now the Google play store home page won't even load

I cannot confirm anything you describe. It's either caused by a bad or disabled application or possibly faulty hardware. Test your phone at Safe Mode to see if the restarts stop. If so, you need to find out which app is causing it.

Can confirm. It happens to me as well. Not everyday. It is completely random. Happened twice today. After I charged it. Don't know if charging it is connected somehow to the issue. Every android phone I buy just has some odd quirks. No more. After this one I'm done. You barely see any problems like this with an iPhone.

You using a SD card? If so try pulling it.
If you did any firmware update flashes since getting it, factory reset.
At least clear the system cache...
A hard reset may also get it.

Thanks to all for the replies. Something i have noticed (and i hope i don't jinx myself now) is that since i turned off the "auto optimise daily" feature, i haven't had a single reboot or power off.

Yeah leave that junk turned off... power management is known to cause erratic behavior as well.
How it's going with the random reboots? Do you still have a problem or turning off "auto optimise daily" fixed it?

This is not normal behavior.
If it's under warranty now might be the time... at least get the documentation started.
Have you cleared the system cache?
Try in Safe Mode as pointed it maybe a 3rd party apk; power management apps and 3rd party launchers are prime candidates. Anything that runs in the background when the screen is off.
Factory reset time...
If that doesn't get try replacing the sim card and removing the SD card if any.
If you still can't find it try reflashing the firmware.
It maybe a hardware failure... and intermittent ones can be the hardest to track down.

Nova launcher premium or free and what version?
I'm using Nova Prime, I haven't noticed any reboots but there has been occasions where the fingerprint scanner was switched back to code unlock like it had just booted up. I'll check up time if it happens again.
Latest free from Play store. 6.2.18.
I might try amd reinstall it later to see if the issue reoccurs, but there has been no reboots since i uninstalled it thankfully.

This is normal security behaviour in Android and it happens every few days. It has nothing common with used launcher.

Ok, was it configured from scratch or via imported configuration from previous phone?

Latest free from Play store. 6.2.18.
I might try amd reinstall it later to see if the issue reoccurs, but there has been no reboots since i uninstalled it thankfully.

Might want to quit while you're ahead. A buggy 3rd party launcher is a sure fire way to crash and burn a Android OS. Boot looped twice by one on my stock Note 10+.
Take any noticable instability seriously...

No doubt you're absolutely right about that, but on the other hand, with the Nova launcher, it's not normal behavior. Nova is rock solid, I've used it for years on various devices, and there's never been a problem.

While I found that it's not better than the native One UI launcher, Nova Launcher didn't boot loop my 10+ into oblivion... lol, a definite plus.
What I found was it was slower and that I lost some features I liked with One UI. It used a lot more battery but some of that was due to tweaking it, but even when I wasn't adjusting it's settings it's battery usage was high. One UI unlike some of Sammy's past launchers is a fast and very stable launcher... hard to beat.
Samsung's are very customizable in their stock configuration, other makes not near as much so.
So yeah I get why you might want use a 3rd party launcher and Nova is at the top of the candidates. Not being at the mercy of every new flavor of OS and native launcher is also more harmonious and productive... so yeah, I get it.
I don't use Nova launcher and I have random reboots. What I' ve noticed is that the reboots were happening when I wasn't using the phone for a while. Also when the phone turned back on an application was active in notification curtain. In the beginning it was TuneIn although I had it force stopped from settings everytime I was using it. After I uninstalled it I didn't had any incident for quite a while. Two days ago I had a lot of reboots in a day. The app working after the reboots was always Samsung Accessory Service, I have Galaxy Watch 3 also. My guess is that the UI is trying to kill an app and it crashes. When I find some time I 'll try a factory reset with fresh install cause my current set up is based on settings from my previous phone (LH V30).
