Hello everyone. I just purchased a used mate 8 nxt-al10 for $100 Cad . The screen is shattered other than that it works great. The "fingerprint ID" isn't anywhere in the settings so I can't use the scanner. Any suggestions? Could it be the drop that broke the screen dislodged the ribbon cable for the scanner?
Any help would be awesome!
Thanks
u can try and do a factory reset, see if that helps. other than that, anything is possible @internal damage...

I tried the factory reset and it still does not show up then I opened up the phone and the connector seems fine. Not sure what to do now. Maybe I should flash the international rom and see if that works?

I can't post links yet but the youtube jerryrigeverything has a teardown video that will help you. It's pretty simple
Anyone?
is the cable connection fine on both ends? does the cable itself look alright or damaged in any way?

Nope the cable looks to be in perfect shape. I'll post some pictures when I can but it looks good under the hood. Does your mate 8 have a small line on the scanner where it looks to be darker on the bottom?
Also random question is there a guide for flashing the international Rom with steps for beginners? Last time I rooted a phone was my nexus 5 3 years ago.
OK so I'm officially running kangvip slim b180.... And still no fingerprint ID in settings!!! I'm going to assume it's a hardware issue and order a new scanner. If anyone has any better ideas let me know.
Thanks !

Where do you get scanner from as mine has stopped working but a bit reluctant to send it back to China even though they was in touch straight away

Hello I used this website to order it. I haven't received it yet but it seems like a reliable source for parts.
Also when yours stopped working did it not show up in your settings anymore?? Knowing that would be a big help.
Thanks!

i did a factory reset and still the problem persist.. isn't it considered as a defect ??
It's clearly a software issue. Reflash might help.

i visited the service center today.. it was issue with hardware.. they replaced a flex board around the battery and the phone was normal again.. took 20mins max and no charges was levied as the phone was under warrenty..
thanks for all the help! :good:
Very strange, a hardware issue which temporarily disappears when you reboot. Oh well, luckily it's fixed now.

Sounds like the flex ribbon cable to the display had poor contact. Where do you live to get such quick service? Cheers!

yes exactly.. i live in bangalore..
I had prepared for two days waiting
but he had few repairable handsets and components in hand ready and pulled out one and repaired to mine instantly..
Bit disappointed in the fingerprint scanner,at 1st it worked well,9 times out of 10 waking the screen up,but latterly its been really frustrating.
It's more likley to just vibrate now when I try to unlock via the scanner,just constant vibrating, and sometimes very rarely it will unlock,I've tried resetting the fingerprint etc,but still really unreliable. Any ideas anyone?
Have you tried cleaning the fingerprint scanner?

Hello All,
My Honor 8 screen is consistently timing out/locking while I am in the middle of using my phone. When it locks, it take about 10-35 seconds for it to recognize my fingerprint to unlock it again. I've played with the screen timeout settings yet nothing seems to work. Anyone experience this issue? Please advise, it's extremely annoying.
Thank You!

I'm using the FRD-L09 B386. I have been facing an issue for months. Sometimes unexpectedly while I'm using Instagram and Facebook the sound plays on my 2nd speaker or the one for calling instead of the main speaker. It gets fixed after rebooting. Anyone knows anything to fix it?
I've seen this issue in lots of forums and various device, do you have by any chance Xposed on your phone or YouMail app?!

Yes. Think it's something with EMUI.

There is this setting in EMUI called raise to ear. U can try and disable to see if it works.

No, it happens with many android devices (like galaxy s7 edge, note 3...etc)
So I think it's something related to android

Happened to me ,i also rebooted to solve this issue and also i clean flashed to get rid of the problem.
i have bought a samsung note 10 lite 2 days ago, and i'm facing a problem with the fingerprint sensor, when i try to unlock the phone, it won't respond to my finger at all, i have to relock the screen and unlock it again to work
What could possibly be the reason ?
Thanks in advance
I have the exact same issue on my 10 lite. I gave up trying to figure it out. A friend of mine has 10 lite and he has no issues at all.

I have managed to fix it by setting show icon when screen is off to "on always on display"
Disable optimise battery for com.samsung.android.biometric and it should make the fingerprint faster and more reliable.
Has anyone figured this out? It's driving me crazy.

Thanks. Fingerprint sensor is working much better now. Even more it's working like charm and now Im using it like it should always be

Wait I'm on One UI 2.1 and the system tells me that it is already up to date... How did you get 2.5 ?
It's rolling out now for some regions.
Sent from my SM-N770F using XDA Labs
You can try other regions. My device is HongKong TGY I use it in United States on At&t but flashed Spain PHE firmware that is 2.5. I rooted it and it works just fine. And finger print is much better on 2.5
