Hey. I got a new S6 yesterday.
Everything was fine, except one thing. The scanner doesn't work anymore, since about an hour. I tried to test the sensor using *#0*#, and all the fields said "PASS". Setting a new finger works perfectly fine too. But whenever I try to use it on the lock screen, literally nothing happens. Not a single thing.
Is someone able to help me? Is this a known issue?
Kind regards and warm thanks

Well I just got a notification and opened it (double tap), now it's working perfectly fine.. Thanks for your answer though. Is this a software error or should I be concerned?

I bought it with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow preinstalled. Already checked for software updates but it didn't find any. I don't really want this to happen again, you know..

ya i am rooted and i m in stock rom only,but using Franco kernal(R32).Xposed framework i m using gravitybox(KK).I have CWM recovery.
What is causing this problem any idea??
N thanks for ur reply.

Look in the Xposed and/or Franco kernel thread for a similar issue like yours, there may be a fix posted. Last resort is to flash a stock image in fastboot and that will probably fix your problem.

When asking for assistance it's best to provide as much information as possible. As it stands I have no idea what you're referring to, and I think it's safe to assume most people won't either.
Ok i will search in there threads.Hope there is some fix posted
Thanks.

Hi,
But what is "this proximity sensor( during call) bug" you are referring? Honestly I have no idea what you are talking about, I never had noticed a bug or anything else with the proximity sensor during call
Like _MetalHead_ said if you want help describe the problem...
Ok fine i will keep that in mind, next time if i post any questions.

For the next time ok, but for now (in this thread here) you can't describe/explain the problem???
There is video on youtube regarding this.i cant post it in here so.
Anywaz the issue is when i m in call,
Steps
1)Call a number
2)Screen goes off.
if i try to make the screen on(to end the all or anything) i have to press 4-5 times power button which also happens by luck to make the screen on.
Also when in call (screen is off),if i try to do something in the status bar.Like if i touch near status bar(in call screen off),when the call ends u can see the status bar was active even if the screen was off.
Hope i m understandable.
i have posted the description of the issue just now .
Historically, this was usually down to a crap screen protector blocking the sensors. OP - are you using an SP?

Ya i m using Sceen protector,but this issue is for poeple who r not using SP also ,in other forums i have seen the same issue.
Only happens to me in the dark.
touch control
I have the same problem, during call the screen go black like it shuld be ,but its stilk active so if you tuch it it still responsive as if its on, i found thet if i disable touch control the problem goes away...

exactly the same for me!!! (except R33)
Same issue on mine, and I don't use a case or screen protector. It's annoying because I have to enter a passcode to check my voicemail, but the screen stays black when I move the phone away from my head. Putting it on speaker seems to fix the issue, but I don't always want my phone calls broadcast to everyone around me.
Recently two n5 we have in the family started doing the same thing,
touch screen is not responsive (buttons do work) and the device must be
rebooted holding the power button to get it working again.
Quite annoying since it happens couple times every day.
Searched around but didn't find any reports.
Both phones stock, rooted, gravity box and touch control installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks
I'm going to take a wild guess here, But try uninstalling touch control and see if the problem occurs again. touch control has no issues on my phone btw.

What kernel are you using with touch control (Franco 33)?
It was working perfect for us with Franco till about rev 29, after that we got problems with graphic errors on the display once in the while, relished stock offered from touch control installation, and now this problem for change.

Yes i'm using franco r33, I reverted to from r34 due to otg issues that I need to get around to sorting out. Hope things go well for you.

Just had to be send mine back for same problem, only turning it off didn't fix my problem. Not rooted
Hmm...this just started happening to be as week this week. Happened twice today. I'm running the stock ROM & kernel.
I wonder if an update to some app is causing this.

Installed FC 33, the touch screen problem is not there anymore but the graphic distortion is back.
It happens once in the while and looks like poor TV signal for second or two.

Oh OK, if I reboot it's working fine and since 2 devices have the same problem using same set up, it shouldn't be hw problem.
Well mine has gone back.. Sounds like a different problem.
Top screen doest not respond G920FXXU2COH2
I made an update yesterday for the French firmware (BOGS TO COH2) android 5.1.1 especially to solve this problem. My screen works perfectly but the top of it doesn't work when I tap. I downloaded a multitouch app. And I found that the swipe works perfectly if I came from the bottom. So I think that it is a software problem.
Some permanent solution?
Edit: rebooting the phone solves the problem for a while.

Hey,
I had a similar problem. Maybe the solution of -JFK- will work for you.

That will not solve the issue...
I have it too, it appears sometime after a reboot.
But you just have to switch the screen off and on to make it work.
I have no explanation...
I have honor 8 for 2 weeks already and at the start the scanner was working just fine now it is acting weirdly(I haven't dropped it yet and I'm that water didn't go inside ), sometimes it work sometimes it does not, I tried to delete and add my finger print again and it didnt work anyways now I cannot even add it because it says to put more preasure at the scanner. I'm using eu version of the phone bought it of amazon (cannot link it "To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!")
Weird i have no isseus at all i got mine last week too...EU version have you tried to factory reset? If it doesn't work you probably got a defective one and you will need to replace it with a new one
Try to update (if available), and do a factory reset

I know what i will say will not solve your problem but it's better to know. I played a lot with this fingerprint sensor. The sensor itself it's fast, it's the EMUI who make it slow down a lot. If you will try to just touch your fingerprint sensor and take the finger VERY VERY FAST you will see that sometimes the phone will unlock but with a bit of delay. And if you will try to unlock the phone with the fingerprint sensor and lock it again for more times and are you doing this fast the phone sometimes will not unlock.
Back up all the data on your device then do a factory reset. That should fix the problem with your fingerprint scanner.

That shouldn't cause any problems. I have that feature enable on all my android devices and they work perfectly fine.
And it's broken again
Try to update if there's any OTA

Factory reset fixed my problem for a while, when I installed some apps it broke again
Hi
Weird problem with my device (3 months old), after playing for a while with the device it suddenly starts to make these weird choppy and laggy scrolling every 3 seconds, like it is doing something in the background, i see it when scrolling, when playing, when facebooking or anything else.
I downloaded apps to see if the CPU is workng without touching it, couldnt see anything in the background unless i touched the phone.
Can it be something bad within the Oreo 8.1 code? This is really ruin the user experience i have with it, making it work sometimes likek my old Meizu or even worse.
It goes awaay after rebooting, or after a while by itselfe.
I clean the RAM always, i stopped lots of permission apps to work in the background but cant see the difference.
Any suggestions?
I also had this problem. It completely disappeared when I made a software update.
I think it was temporarily fixed by turning on "deactivate HW-Overlays" in the developer settings. However, as far is I've read, this could decrease battery performance.
Greetings
Thanks ill try it, but i do have the 8.0 version** after an OTA update after i got the phone..
Well i came back to say this tweak works!
It wont get choppy anymore..thanks!

I did exactly what metaxuss instructed me to do, you need to open the Developer mode and right after look in the search button on the Settings for HW overlay, turned it on and now it works like a charm, i hope they will fix it under the next update..

I have found that to happen too, but its a quick fix,
really shame that HTC wont solve this, and why would it happen only on our devices?
Same problem for me. If I disable the option, it looks better as you said but Netflix does work anymore (sound, subtitles ok but no display)...
So I'm waiting for a fix from HTC
