Improved Fingerprint Sensor in New Update - Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion

I just downloaded and installed the August update and before Night mode, I tested the fingerprint sensor. So, if anyone has a complaint about how slow the recognition is, please just use the latest software. It's working like a charm here.

Which update are you referring to? Your post is confusing.
Are you saying you have the upgrade without Night Mode but fingerprint sensor has been improved?
Or are you saying that the upgrade that includes the Night Mode has additional improvements for the fingerprint sensor?
I have the A705MN, and the last update that was installed on my phone was about a month ago and the one without NIght Mode but included Super Steady Cam. The fingerprint changed to a green light animation. Performance improved dramatically but is still not consistent.
(Then again, I have an Iphone7 that I use for work, and the fingerprint reader is not very good on that either because of the glossy glass surface of the reader. I put piece of scotch tape over my Iphone and now it works everytime...)

Sorry for not specifying the version. I got the update A705FN which includes night mode but it has no super steady mode. And yes, fingerprint animation changed into green.

Me too. Fingerprint sensor now works well. Bit slow, but recognises print every time.

Fingerprint senser still slow and inconsistent after August update. I received both Night Mode and Super Steady in the same update.

i think im the only person who doesnt get an update - im in Australia and they have to interestr in updating it

Reduced fingerprint performance on 6.0.1 CPF1?

Not sure if this is an issue that only I suffer, but after the update to CPF1, my fingerprint sensor performance has become unusable.
Adding a fingerprint that normally takes less than 20 seconds now takes at least a minute, with a prompt to "Lift your finger off the home key" appearing and injecting a delay of several seconds before one is actually allowed to scan another part of your fingerprint.
Fingerprint unlock has also gone off a hill, fingerprints are now unrecognized unless the orientation is the same as the orientation when the scan occurred, and a multi-second delay is now present when a mis-scan occurs.
I noticed in the OTA update inf file, there was a line
Code:
apply_patch("/system/priv-app/FingerprintService2/oat/arm64/FingerprintService2.odex", "-", 2de08396342e1d053f9875c7e19b945385db7857, 418560, d5875cdae656c286edd962e0220ecd31f8b692bb, package_extract_file("patch/system/privapp/FingerprintService2/oat/arm64/FingerprintService2.odex.p"));
indicating that the fingerprint service had been updated, and I was wondering if anybody else is suffering from the same issues.
My fingerprint scanner is working perfectly fine, nice and fast and still haven't gotten an error.
Hello !
I'm not alone !! I thought my fingerprint sensor was broken...
I downgraded on 3DPDP (France firmware, before the newest from June 22th) and do a wipe data to see if it works again.
I have a S6 edge but Samsung has updated the service on all of their phones obviously

Found A Bug With YouTube HDR w/ Autobrightness? (Oreo April Patch)

So I was appreciating the beautiful display on the Note 8 and it's abilities again today by watching a HDR video from YouTube on it, but I noticed something weird. Whenever I went from a bright to a dark environment, (lit bedroom to dark living room) the screen would drop to a lower brightness, then realize it's in HDR mode and go all the way back up, and it would alternate multiple times as I moved around in the dark environment. It would drop to a low brightness, pick back up to full, drop, repeat. Can anyone else test to see if this is happening with theirs too?
Settings: WQHD+ resolution, Auto Brightness enabled, Video Enhancer enabled
Video:https://youtu.be/tO01J-M3g0U
This will help me confirm whether it is indeed a software bug introduced in Oreo/April Patch or if it's my own hardware that's having issues. Thanks for the help!
I would say it is a software bug.
This was happening to me after the Oreo update, unsure what I done that resolved it though but, after flashing a custom rom and going back to stock it has worked fine for me. Using the same Oreo package that I used to update to Oreo the first time also.
I am really sad to hear about all these bugs due to OREO updating, they make me think that it has far more cons than pros over nougat, in my country no Oreo ota yet, I will stay this way until a really good oreo comes out...

Nokia 7 Plus Firmware Not Fit for Daily Use

I don't know what kind of developers HMD hires but, the software is half baked and not optimized properly.
Am I too late in saying that they should atleast provide bootloader unlock, so that we can have a better and more optimized software.
Blast Sarvikas, HMD and Nokia Mobiles on twitter and ask them either to optimize the software or provide bootloader unlock.
Problems right now:
1. Try locking phone using hardware button on an app with white screen, you will see a reddush hue when the screen turns off.
2. Very bad animation and laggy animations. App switching by double tapping recents used to be a breeze but now it's laggy af and sometimes doesn't even works.
3. Incompatibility with a lot of apps even after those apps are optimized for Android 9; Sound indictor sticks on the screen for more than one minute, phone heats a lot, battery draining, etc. One such app, that cause these problem is Lastpass.
4. Fingerprint problem; sometimes it doesn't works or is too late.
I agree with 1,2 and 4.
I have no such problems.

No issues like that on mine either.
I did not have such problems with my Nokia 7 plus. Everything is snappy and works very fast.
The only thing I noticed was crazy switching of the adaptive brightness and notifications that do not fit well the text.
Some of them are addressed in the November patch.
Coming from a phone that would never get a security update, I think this phone is heaven.

How to get it... apply for a job @ Nokia.... learn the definition of the last character of the firmware build... it says B guess what it means.
So unless it gets leaked, which most likely won't happen, you've to wait for an A

well if B is Beta.. then A.. is Alpha... so we need F.. Full Version...:laugh:
That looks legit and could be the new release. I wouldn't pay much attention to the letters. There's new builds of touch and camera firmware, which could mean lesser issues with the fingerprint sensor and the camera errors.
Apparently nokia said via Twitter that they had some one time issue in getting the security release on time. That we should expect a FM this week. Not sure if it is true. But I'm disappointed that they don't honor the Android One promise
I'd much rather prefer they get the update right in terms of fixing whatever camera issues/fingerprint sensor they resolved than getting it sooner half-baked that will require yet another update.
My stable version has a F in the end

Yeah for the camera I don't mind to wait. But for the security updates I do mind to wait as this is a separate update that has nothing to do with camera
There is updateV.4.22C .Just instaling ( in Poland )
Netherlands as well
India!
Also in Spain.
New update build number
I just updated to the latest update, fingerprint enrollment hasbeen update, Its quite reliable and has a more success rate, still slow but I don't mind it since not tell me to press harder like before, hope it gets better with future updates.:laugh:
Never mind fingerprint. Camera is what most people bought this phone, and it was horiblle also ( I mean app ).Lot's of bugs
Any release notes?
Just applied update
Fingerprint reader is now perfect though aesthetically the small brackets around the thumbprint distract. Can't say anything about camera.
250Mb. Took a very long time to install over a fast wifi connection. I was afraid that I had bricked my phone.
United States. T-Mobile. Unlocked phone.
The bug in translation in Camera app still present (bokeh). Fingerprint sensor almost as ****ty as it was. I deleted all fingerprints and added four new. Press harder...
FP still ****.. maybe due to screen protector too thick...
Camera is improve littlebit Manual still have bug eventhou u set the shutter speed still go automatic
Pro mode is still buggy i think..When cam set to "ISO prority" ( ISO set on 100 ) assuming, that camera mesures exposition automatically, the time suppose to be selected in auto position, and it all suppose to give proper exposition. But when ISO is set , time goes itself to 1/33 sec, that gives total underexposition. Time has to set manually based on the display preview to have things to work. So does it mean, that in Pro mode exposition hase to be set manually, or it is another bug? Timer sound in Cam app ,still not working correctly
No... In pro mode everything is manual

Asus Rog 3 no camera and fingerprint scanning

Hello
I bought Asus Rog 3 (android 12) after replacing the screen. He has this problem:
- Only the front camera works, when I try to switch to the rear camera, the camera freezes for a moment and switches back to the front camera.
However, if I turn on the google camera in the options, the rear camera works normally.
- Doesn't read fingerprints. Scanner turns on but does not scan any lines.
I thought android 12 broke and I uploaded android 11 from Asus and it's the same. After a while, it updated itself again to android 12.
I have no idea how the fault could be.
Anyone have any advice on this problem?
Are you sure the device re-assembled properly? I've replaced the display in my ROG 3 before, all worked out very smoothly. Nothing special involved beyond making sure motherboard, fingerprint reader, cameras and everything else are all connected back together correctly...

Thanks for the answer.
I was also wondering about it, to be honest, but since the rear camera works in the "google camera" mode and the white line scanner also, but it does not scan the line, the problem is probably in the software.
In fastbootd mode it displays something like this, I do not know if it is correct because it is my first Rog 3
I don't want to open it while it's possible. Therefore, I am asking if any of my honorable colleagues had this or a similar problem.

The screenshot doesn't tell much. However, you won't be able to RAW flash this device from there. Check that your have correct Fastboot access from the bootloader (without navigating to above). Then do a RAW flash to one of the A10 or A11 versions that works.

Why should I flash in RAW format? What will this change?

I downgraded the software from the Asus website to:
- Android 10 (front / rear camera is working properly, fingerprint scanner is not working)
- Android 11 (rear camera not working, fingerprint scanner not working)
- Android 12 (rear camera not working, fingerprint scanner not working)
I don't know where the problem is. I have already written to Asus about this. We'll see what they write back.
I checked the phone's serial numbers on the Asus website and everything is correct.
The phone was not unlocked and rooted. FOTA is working properly.
Just got the latest version dated 01.08.2022
The problem remained.
Hello
As I wrote above.
Asus spoke very quickly. The phone was sent to service in RMA mode. I don't know what they did, but very fast and everything works as it is supposed to.
I contacted the previous owner and it turned out that the screen was replaced on the Asus service. Guarantee until the end of October
And I was so tempted to open it
It's good that I did not do it because it is a little 16/512GB baby girl
