Face unlock error(latest OC) - Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers

I can`t add face since buying a smartphone. Already tried rebooting, factory reset, unlocking&relocking bootloader(stock latest image). Who knows another ways to solve this issue?(Living in country without Google stores and offline support, so returning pixel back is impossible)

There is a known issue with Pixel 4XL face unlock no longer working on Android 11. Assuming that's what you have, flashing back to Android 10 should resolve your issue.

mi 9 multi touch problem

My mi 9 seems to be able to only detect 1 finger. Completely wiped phone and problem still persist. Anyone with same issue or able to fix issue?
I have the same problem. Have you found any solution?

I have that same problem. Could you help
Happened the same issue to my Mi9. Multi touch was working normally but suddenly it stopped working while I was zooming on a web page. Then I made a factory reset but still didn't work. Today I updated to Miui 12 hopping the problem would be solved but still no success. I think this bug is related to Android 10 as I saw elsewhere someone rolled back to Miui 10/Android 9 and things got to normal. On the other hand this is not a hardware failure for sure since multi touch keeps working normally on apps running in game turbo mode.
So, has anyone found how to kill this annoying bug?
Thanks for any help.
ive been searching everywhere how to fix this. i already email xiaomi about this issue. still didnt find clue how to fix this bug. still hoping that xiaomi will fix this issue.
This issue is a shame for Xiaomi!
As far as I know the only solution is to downgrade to Miui10 and stuck on this version or take the risk to upgrade to Miui11 (not recommended for obvious reasons) or the fresh new Miui12. So far I've been using the "turbo game" thing to workaround the bug. I had to install some alternative apps from Google Play (such as Chrome Beta, other gallery app, Google Maps Go...) to use instead of the stock apps so I can use them with "turbo" and get pinch to zoom working. This is not the best way to solve the issue -- the ideal is to get multi touch back working again without the need to resort to any tricks -- however it works very well. Maybe one of these days I'll get some patience to setup the good old Miui10 again...
i also have this ghost touch on the upper part of the screen. it came same time as the multi touch issue. it cant even fix by game turbo. i cant even play games normally like moba or fps game. i dont know if its just me have this ghost touch issue. its a big shame for xiaomi flagship phone?
No news about this issue? Everything works fine with Pixel Experience in my MI9 but multitouch. I remmember I solved another problem (auto-rotate didn't work for the display) and I solved it flashing only last version of "persist.img".
Same here bro!
I bought my Mi 9 in February and everything worked well. I also upgraded to MIUI 12 with no problems at all, then suddenly multitouch stopped working.
If I flash Pixel Experience will the problem be solved?

No way, Installing PE doesn't solve the problem.
I'm going to try it with new kernels and FWs.

Try to flash MIUI 10... I read somewhere it should work, because MIUI 10 is built on Android 9, which doesn't have this issue
same i have this issue, i tried miflash. the only workaround are miui 10 and game turbo method.
also i have this nonresponsive part of the upper screen, right where most game analog button placed. idk if this "dead touch" is connected to this multitouch issue
This was the first and probably the last Xiomi I bought. Back to iOS. Bought a second hand iPhone 11 in mint condition. Working rock solid! Crap Mi9!!!

Have the same problem here!!!
Upper screen DEAD
Annoying ghost touch on upper screen
Have to type multiple times because It keeps ghost touching...
Can't sell the phone, because of these issues...
Miss my Galaxy note
Is there a fix to this issue now? GameTurbo enhances the touch so that multitouch works. There must be a fix to this.

Zero issues on my Pixel 4 or 4 XL. I've never had issues. Might be hardware

I have the Pixel 4 XL and it's been working fine until I had to get it replaced because of the 50% battery issue. The replacement phone the face lock setup doesn't work. I've loved the phone so far and was really considering getting the Pixel 6 when it comes out. But these two issues so close together have made me begin to question. I'll never buy another Samsung, so I guess that leaves Apple.
Mine just started doing this after a factory reset. It was driving me crazy. I was able to finally get it to work. Before it gets to the point of scanning your face there will be a place you can click on asking if you have trouble moving your head. Once you click that it will still say the same thing about fitting your face but you will not have to move your head around. Just keep moving your phone in and out and it will eventually take when it finds the sweet spot. I haven't had any issues using face unlock after setting it up.
Had the same problem and apparently it was because of my screen protector. If you have one on, try removing it and test
Solved this problem!
Bakstory: I have Pixel 4XL not locked on carrier's network. I was running Andorid 11 (build from Jun 2021) since the moment I've bought the phone and I have never updated it to the newest versions of Andorid till this days, cause I've read that many Pixel users expirenced problems after update (like not working wireless charging and problems with Face Unlock). Last few month I've noticed that Face Unlock recognized me with 50% chance, I've experinced it earlier and usually I was able to fix it by deletting the face and setting up Face Unlock once more. This time it did not work. I've deleted the face data and was not ale to set it up once more. It was saying "fit your face in inner frame", It was detecting my face, cause it was reacting when I was turning the head and it was sayin "turn your head less" or was reacting when I was moving away from phone by saying "move closer". I've also upgraded to Andoid 13 from push update and problem was not resolved.
Solution: I've rolled back to Andorid 10 (build QD1A.190821.011.C4, Oct 2019), before installing back up your files, cause during the process you will basically reset your phone to factory settings. And on Android 10 Face Unlocked works like charm! It succesfully set up and worked. After that I've upgarded to Android 13 from push update and Face Unlock still works! BUT, DO NOT TRY TO DELETE FACE DATA AFTER ANDROID UPDATE,IN MY CASE IT WOULD NOT SET UP BACK, I HAD TO ROLL BACK TO Andorid 10 TO SET UP FACE.
I had screen protector and the mentioned above problem is not because of it, because I was trying to set up Face Unlock without screen protector for 3 hours straight. I've even downloaded HedgeCam2 to check how Infrared Camera works with it and without it, no difference.
That's definetly software problem, not hardware, greetings to Google Developers
Sorry for grammar mistakes, English is not my primary language. I hope you understood me and I've managed to describe my problem and how I solved it.

Proximity sensor broke after update to Android 11 + OneUI 3.0

Hi!
I have a Galaxy S10 G9730 (Snapdragon) and last week I've installed Android 11 + OneUI 3.0 via OTA. The phone started to give so much problems, battery drain, rotation sensor stucked until reboot, etc... I ended up hard-reseting it to solve problems.
All of them have dissapeared but proximity sensor is not working anymore, I tried some apps to test it but none of them detects anything. Also on phone hardware test "*#0#*" I didnt found anything to test proximity sensor.
So any of you had the same problem? Maybe it's some kind of hardware fail? I'm like 80% sure that it stoped working after that last update but not 100%....
Thanks guys!
Have you checked the Galaxy Store and Playstore for system apk updates?
If you could try reflashing it... it's very unlikely it's a hardware failure, at least with the proximity sensor.
May be a bad flash or it is the firmware which is probably the most likely.
I'm still running Pie because it's a lighter, faster OS that I find easy to use. The Q and especially the 11 "upgrade" would slow my 10+ down and reduce/destroy functionalities I use.

Yes, everything is updated. Afer a reboot it worked again, but after some hours of use, proximity and rotation sensor started to fail again.
Android 11 update its a complete failure, I'm thinking about going back to android 10.

That just sucks.
If you can tolerate it Sammy should eventually punch out an update for that issue.
It's possible you got a bad flash. Anymore I'm inclined to leave everything on the factory load if it's running well
I get damn tired of playing footsies with cactus...
Q isn't being well received as Google -tries- to kept its poor adoption rate secret.
11 is a real whack job. Google is on a losing streak. Lol their next OS will be code named Snake Eyes
It makes upgrading my hardware platform a big no go... no good OS available for the hardware.

Question My NFC disappeared after installing PIXEL EXPERIENCE

The NFC of my Redmi Note 10 PRO no longer works after having flashed the PIXEL EXPERIENCE rom (I have done the procedure again, but the NFC still does not work) the same thing happens to me when I have Arrow OS installed, it appears where the NFC icon was grayed out and could not be enabled.
Any solution?
I've been trying for three days to get NFC to work, but it still doesn't work.
It is not ideal to go back to the garbage that is the customization layer of MIUI
I have the same problem
If a custom rom give problems with sensors, camera's etc. mostly the hardware is changed by Xiaomi and that custom rom missed the drivers for it.
Best chance is to use one of the recent new rom developements, but no guarantees.
Do you see NFC repair/reset options? It's most likely due to drivers though in some cases kernels can affect as well.

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
