Finally the S7 is the first Samsung device that allows us to log into our password vault with our figerprint!!
I have long wished it would be this easy, and now it is.
You have to enable it in the settings after your vault is set up. One excellent security feature I have found is that when a new system fingerprint is added, 1Password will default back to the alphabetical password. This is, in my opinion, pretty insightful, because often times couples will log both parties fingerprints in the phone, while one or the other member might want to retain their vault security.
Did this make anyone else's week?
Didn't the s6 fingerprint reader work with 1password ? I thought when I was playing with 1password it did. I could be mistaken I typically use Lastpass myself but 1password looked interesting.

I had the S6 last week, and the Note 4 last week, and neither had the option to use the fingerprint reader with 1Password. I can't say for the Note 5 though...

Ah maybe I'm wrong either way it's good to see more apps picking up the fingerprint reader

I use Keeper, works with fingerprint reader on S7. Have it on all my devices.
LastPass also works like a charm.
safeInCloud has the fingerprint login too, works good

iphone
any suggestion ? thx
Evernote is pretty good. Syncs to the web.
Ya i agree evernote is great!
thx
gonna try it now
Note Everything has been my pick for the last year.
Im using AK Notepad from my magic to my nexus
aknotepad is good
I personally like note me. You can color coordinate tags for school, finance, personal etc, and you can also stick it on your home screen.
i also use aknotepad very simple
I am using 3banana, synchs to the web with your google login, and you see notes offline too. I will be using this until evernote makes notes available offline too. Then i will switch.

Unless you have a fingerprint reader that plugs into the phone somehow, no. There are apps that supposedly do this, but those are more of a joke than a reality. The touch screen on phones does not have the sensitivity to be used as a fingerprint reader.
It would be a neat feature, as you could set it up so only you could unlock your phone. My laptop has one, which is far quicker and more convenient than typing my password.
Although, I suppose it could be possible to create an app that would use the camera to take a picture of your fingerprint, and use that for access, but you have to unlock the phone to use the camera first, so I don't see it being feasible.
Hi, Note 5 and S6 EDGE+ both have a problem. It defaults a program to the first app you select. I used to be able to click a number and android would as me to choose my VIOP or RC "just once" Now every things is set to "always"There used to be an option to only use it once. Is there any way I can fix this without rooting?
I would also like to know this too

It's weird for sure. Seems like only sharing from certain apps like the gallery and Internet browsers give this option. But this app helped: app picker classic. It's in the play store. It's not ideal but it's working for me. If you share and choose this app the first time it will add all your other options for each consecutive time.

Problem it most of the these kind of apps don't open or get all the apps you want.
I am working with the developer "better open with". He said there is a bug.
I don't think this is a bug but it's the way the new touch wiz was made.
I'm also wondering why they've removed this feature. And is there any way around it without root?

I swear I love Samsung but they do some of the dumbest sh!t. LG also removed that feature from some of their devices. What the heck are these manufacturers thinking? What on God's green earth makes them think that you want to handle one type of file the same way everytime? Sometimes I want to open a link with one browser and open another link with another browser because maybe that specific browser works better with that particular websites. I love the just once. Constant clearing defaults is fuking worst than selecting between just one and always.

I still has not found a decent fix. All the app pickers out there only show some apps but not all. The only app close is Better Open with. We can't even root now because we loose samsung pay. I am not an apple fan but I love that 3d feature. It is like a right click on a mouse.

I have this same problem on my S5 mini. PLEASE tell me there is a solution by now? This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. So I send something once to Opera mini because I need to save on data usage and now I am forever stuck with websites opening in Opera Mini and looking like terrible. On Kitkat I NEVER used to select "always" on anything, for choice and security reasons.. Now I cannot.

I have this but it is only for things programmed into the app. I cannot scan an NFC thing and it always come up do I want to use "Tag" or "NFC Reader" or "xyz". Because the app does not know about this "type". It's good to protect and provide choice for websites and images and things but it is not perfect. Why would samsung/google mess this up? Not only is it stupidly inconvenient but it is less secure because now something like a website or any other thing just goes on it's merry way automatically opening and executing with an app all the time, instead of the usual thing where I have the choice to press always, just this once or oh yeah just press the back button to cancel the attempt from the start.
I am not happy with the loss of this functionality.

One of the workarounds I found for sharing or opening links with different apps was to select "Copy to Clipboard" option when you select the default app for the first time after clearing your old defaults and then go to your target app and paste from clipboard. It's definitely not as straightforward as selecting "Always" vs "One time only" but still better than clearing out defaults after every use for me.
This is actually incredibly annoying. Sometimes I open Youtube videos in Youtube, sometimes I open them in my VLC Remote Control, sometimes I open them in Flyperlink....how this functionality went away is beyond me....frigging Samsung.
Better Open With will have to do for now, thanks for the link.
As many people have know already, apps is still shutting down in aggressive manner even if they have been white listed. This is because there is a war between Vivos Imanager that try to shutdown everything to save power and androids own power management.
I will tell you how to stop the conflict between Imanager and Powermanagement, the solution is very easy but most people that complain have not noticed this detail.
This deserves its own thread cause this really solve all strange problems I have had with vivo nex (chromecast problems also solved now)
This is mainly important for push notification apps, video apps, and apps with chromecast ability.
We need to understand that Vivo have put their enchantments ONTOP of android, but android still is higher in hiracy but vivos apps trying to shut down stuff.
You must white list stuff both with the vivo settings and also android settings.
short repetition how to get push notifications work , you can either do it one by one in app info of each app or thru I manager and and permission manger)
Use whatever method you most comfortable with permission manger gives a good overview of app permissions.
Permission Push notification apps need is in app info screen
app Info/ Permission/single permissions: enable all in the device management section, autostart is the most important toggle. other options can depend on the app and its functionality but add permission to all in the top in the device management category.
App info/ notifications: enable the toggle as you desire decide if you want to see it on lockscreen, I can recomend to not enable "display notifcation details on locked screen" this is bad for privacy since people can read your messages if you dont guard your phone.
How to end the conflict between Imanager and Android Power mangement
As I said the solution is very easy but VERY important, since Vivos own software have lower hiracy in the system they Imanager and Android in conflict, this is why even though you have white listed everything in settings apps is still shutting down.
What you need to to is to go to control panel or task switcher and you will see a lock, if you doing it from the control panel which I recommend swipe down on the app you want to let stay in memory and not shut down out a lock on it. Now apps will not shut down, this is required for push notifications to work as intended also this must be enabled for all apps you want to chromecast from otherwise you will have to reload the app you casting from, this was a big problem with youtube before I was going back to the app and it was reloaded. This detail is very important and this is simply very bad design by vivo, since you basically have TWO power mangement systems in one system that dont work with each other. Now when I have added lock on all push notification and chromecast apps all seem to work just as good as any other phone. Keep Google app with lock on and home app on too if you want to make sure chromecast work, if you cast from browser then put lock on it too. Its easy to put a temporary lock on apps in control panel so you dont have to have it memory permanently keep in mind, also, you can shut down apps in task switcher...lock is only active as long as the app exist in task switcher.
Do you have problem with google sync services you can add apps in Imanager/autostart/startup( at the top)
Startup permission means (allow startup by other applications) When looking in the start up records screen it seem it is mostly the google sync services that want to start/awake other apps, if you have any specific problem that you think is related to google sync service enable, personally I have not enabled it cause I think the battery will take a big hit cause I see the android sync serivces want to wake up apps a lot. If Android sync service is for some how very important for you then enable it, but personally I think that the syncing is restricted is one of the reason why Vivo Nex have better battery then most.
Yes, maybe you could just remove com.vivo.pem in adb shell.

It is vivo's battery mangement app which is more aggressive.
I have no negative impact after uninstalling it.

what about the battery usage.. Are we still getting 6hrs SOT?
Ok gays the news so far is very positive.
So far I’m getting on time notifications from various app using like messenger,WhatsApp,Gmail,outlook for the first time since late August(before that didn’t have those issue)
Seems Vivo software becomes even more aggressively latest update and that results of notifications not working all time properly.
I’m continue monitoring it and report again after 1-2 days to be absolutely sure that this was the key answer for notifications issues most of as having especially after 3 disaster update got from earlier September til today.
Let me know that after uninstalling com.vivo.pem you should restart your phone to take effect 100%

Nice ,it take me one month to figure it out . At lease this method can let homescreen widget updating in background .
One more tip: If you want app to stay in background ,you should disable "battery optimization" which is a hidden menu in funtouchos. You can create a shortcut at Nova launcher.
Many cudos my friend.:good:
All day now from the morning all notifications working brilliantly from various app as I said.
I think we got the golden egg
Yes I know the battery optimization in battery settings.
I’ve already set from beginning my favorite app to exception of battery optimization.

Someone has changed the password(badly wherever did that)and Vivo needed to recover the Public account.

So what's the status now? Are you still having issues? Did you remove the battery management files and had issues after your last update? Or were the issues strictly related to the changing of the password on the Vivo public account?

Surfing the Web, it popped up for a second, then retreated...
Device compromised?
Did it happen anywhere else, or just one site?
Kind of a nice extra security feature with the camera having to pop up. Hadn't thought of that.
Do you use Firefox? It's a known issue with Firefox
It happened to me also, on different sites (but not shady) on Chrome, a couple of times. I thought it could be that classic pop-up notif. that you get on the desktop sites that ask you to allow access to mic and camera and as such, when invoked on a mobile device, I assumed that was the expected behavior - to raise the camera - and automatically "shuts it down" and retracts almost instantly. Given the mechanism of the selfie camera, we notice this as the camera raises. But on a classic phone where the front camera is always displayed, I thought that the user is not aware of this (even thought the pop-up is not displayed or auto-closed).
Again, just a thought.

Can you specify which website was that, I want to test that??
It is because the website uses extensive methods to fingerprint the device, also known as tracking. In Firefox you just enable Tracking Protection to not not only work in Private windows but also normal browsering.

Thanks. Did this and disabled permission access to camera in Firefox (apps/settings)
Same thing happened to me with Firefox, I just turned off camera permission for Firefox.
Would have never guessed Firefox was the culprit! Cheers
