Latest update messed up my fingerprint... - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys...
After official OTA update N920CXXU3BPJ5, I can't unlock my phone with a fingerprint, it always asks me to draw a pattern....
I did a full factory reset, as I thought that would solve the problem, but the problem is still there....
Furthermore, my trusted device unlock (Gear S), doesn't keep phone unlocked after the update....
Does anybody have a solution for this kind of bug?
My phone is not rooted, and I plan to keep it that way if I can..
Thanks in advance!!!

I had the same problem after
updating, not all the time only when phone go in deep sleep.
But uninstalling easy home seems to change everything at least for now for me. I'll get back if the issue re occur .

I never used easy home, but I'll try and unnistall it

No, it doesn't work that way either....every time when I want to unlock with my fingerprint, it asks me to enter pin, or draw a pattern (depending on what have I set for security)

Yes, I did....
I just realised that "Screen off" apps are causing that bug..
When I lock screen with power button, fingerprint unlock works as a charm...
But the moment when I lock screen with Screen off app (tried more then one app), fingerprint unlock stops working...

I do not use any kind of screen off app, and therefore I cannot help.
instead, I will give you an idea: I am using nova launcher and within there is a gesture: double-tap to turn screen off, so there is no need to use separate app to turn off your screen and double tapping work excellent and is easy to use

Well this seems to be a problem with the screen off app, not Samsung.

I contacted couple of mayor screen off apps developers on Google Play Store, we just need to wait and see if they are going to find a workaround for this problem...

This is what I get as answer, I believe it will be similar with every developer....
Hi,
The app does not work with fingerprint sensor and causes the problem that you explained. This is because of the restrictions in Android operating system due to security reasons. Hence there is currently no way to make it work with fingerprint sensor or smart lock. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Regards,
Lock It

LG Touch LED Notifications for 4X HD

I made some modification on LG Touch LED Notifications to support 4X HD.
Original thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125429
Root is needed.
Thanks xigzil / Martin Börjesson
If it is good enough I will send request to add to original app.
Later today I'm going to root it and try your app. Thanks

Works for me, except the default setting is "faded pulse", which seems to be unsupported.

It seems like 4X does not support front key brightness control.
Nice work!
Thanks!

It works very well. It would be good if we could change the times for on and off.

I use the app NoLed , it works great and no need to root, you can set the time for how long the notification will stay on.
works great for me!
This app has been working great for me, thanks a lot atipon! However, I encountered a problem that might be caused by this app.
I did an update from V10D to V10F firmware and now the softbutton backlight wont stay on anymore, as set in the system settings. It has been working on V10D flawlessly, but with the new firmware, the lights will go out in a few seconds, no matter if they are set to always on.
Another user has reported, that this setting was working for him on the V10F firmware.
Uninstall app and check that problem still or not.
App does not make any permanent change on phone.
I just did that a second time (uninstall & reboot), but with no effect. Strangely every other setting of light-on durations seem to work, so staying on for 1.5, 3 and 5 seconds, but when set to always on, the light will keep going off after a few seconds.
I noticed, that there is some system file 'br_maintain_on' in the button backlight folder and its content is '0' - could it be related?
Thanks for your help! This issue is really annoying me.
EDIT: OMG, changing the content of this file to 1 did fix it instantly! I'm not sure, if this app caused this behavior to happen but if anyone has the same issue, the exact location of the file is:
/sys/devices/platform/button-backlight/leds/button-backlight/br_maintain_on
EDIT 2: the file will be set to '0' on each reboot, even with read-only permissions and when this app is not installed. It looks like this could be a firmware bug?

Screen off app

Hi, can you give me an advice for an app that is used for the screen off and also lock like hardware key. I can not find a proper app to do this. Many apps lock the screen but after 1 sec screen comes out again. Do you know a proper app for this? Thanks

Well I know on CM there is... And I dont think that would make a big difference in the time the screen would take to turn on. Installing CM our phone is sort of a complex process though, since you also have to install a bootloader, custom recovery...

Same as me. That's why I have to use volume key to wake always. I think it's just a hardware problem.

If you are using 4.4.x roms that problem is well known.If you are using stock rom try first factory reset.

U can't. So be gentle to that button. At least, use some screen lock widget.
EDIT: turning off u can use some shutdown widget.

Why i can't use my warranty ? They should take care of any issues since they are not my fault.

You cannot turn on and off your phone.
That was your questuon, and the reply was obvously to that question, not to the statement about warranty.
