Galaxy S6 :: Finger Print Doesn't Work / Google Backup Not Working Either
Jun 8, 2015
Today after having my beloved Samsung Galaxy 6 for over a month, the finger print scanner didn't recognize my finger print. I don't have a back up password (or if i do i don't remember it) so I just typed in something so i could sign in with my google account. I typed in my correct email and password but its saying my password is invalid. I know its not invalid because I just used it on my computer. So now i really stuck..what do i do? Do i just wait and go into a mobile store?
My fingerprint is not being recognized by my Samsung Galaxy S6, my back up password is not working even though I'm pretty sure it's correct but maybe i have forgotten it I don't know BUT the other problem is I can't access Samsung device manager online because my Gmail account I have created on my phone requires the 2 step-verification thing where a code is sent to my phone first for me to type into my computer but since I can't access my phone I can't view the code!
The fingerprint scanner just stopped working. It was working fine, then it stop detecting any finger prints and I even tries to reset it, but it wouldn't let me, I kept getting an error message as soon as I tried. I really don't want to have to get this phone replaced already?
Okay so ever since the last update i have been having trouble with my finger print sensors. After I reboot my phone the fingerprint sensors works fine, but after few hours it would randomly stop working. And so I erased all the data on my phone (Factory Data Reset). It did the same thing. What should I do? I bought my phone on march. So I can not really exchange it?
My finger print scanner suddenly stopped working out of nowhere. I tired rebooting the phone and a factory reset.Nothing seems to work. The fingerprint scanner will work once in a while but it's rare.
Has noticed there finger print unlock slowing down? I swear it is 2x to 3x longer than when new, restart phone regularly so I am not sure why. Just curious if it's just me.
New T-Mobile Galaxy S6. Is there a way to set the screen-time for the fingerprint log-in feature to display longer. Sometimes my login screen stays up long enough to press my thumb print, but many times it appears and disappears before I can log in. Is there a setting to increase the time it stays visual?
In the Screen Lock Type setting I have Fingerprints. At times when I wake the device it looks for me to use my saved fingerprint, but most times it still expects me to use swipe style to unlock.
When I try to access my phone the only option is a keyboard and not a finger swipe panel. I put in my alternate password many times then get error saying cannot verify your finger print wait 30 secs try again
I just got my S5. I am trying to add a much needed added layer of security to the device through either a password or finger print. I have gone through the process of enabling both, each time when I return the lock screen it is not enabled?? Settings clear show it is on.
I restarted the device, upon restart the finger print scanner was enabled upon restart. but once i return back to the lock screen it is gone. Why they wont stay enabled or enable at all?
Figured out it was set to only enable after 10 mins of no activity.
I keep sliding my finger across the unlock bar but it doesn't work. Whereas the double-click music player works fine. Has my phone locked itself? It was fine an hour ago.
Sometimes when scrolling Pulse News Reader, things like emails, etc. the screen seems to freeze. I have to use multiple fingers or put device to sleep and awaken to continue scrolling with a single finger.
My fingerprint scanner has stopped working totally. I have erased all finger prints but I can't re-register any.I have the latest software, I have rebooted but nothing works?I don't want to send it away as I don't have a spare phone.
Every time I use finger print to open my phone it always ask for PIN straight after, how do I turn off the PIN I just want to use finger print to open my phone?
Changed from Z3 to Z5 2 mths ago. The Z5 battery drain really fast. Same usage, same app, same setting as my Z3, but the battery last way way shorter, about 60% of my Z3. Really disappointed.. Another thing is the thumb print sensor.. When you 1st register, its all accurate and good. After sometime, (typically a few days), the accuracy of the sensor will be out.. I need to rely on luck to unlock my screen by thumb print.
I have been using the phone for past two weeks and having issue with the fingerprint scanner. The scanner stops working all of a sudden for no reason and then the phone needs to be rebooted to make the scanner function. I updated my phone with the latest patch .83..
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SMARTPHONE. How do I print maps and directions. I don't have access to a desktop computer. My printer is a standalone printer connected to the smartphone via WIFI.
I've had this problem for more than two weeks now. The touchscreen is not responding at all. Before I give it to the Sony Service Centre for repaiir, I need to take the backup of contacts.
I just installed the latest Chroma custom ROM and I cannot make the led work: it is enabled, both for notifications and battery, but it doesn't work. When plugging a cable that will charge the phone I can see the led flash briefly (~ 0.5sec) and then it stays off.
It's a couple of days my phone doesn't sync and download new emails. I switched to Aquamail and it's working. I can't understand what happened to the stock email app
