Honor 8 fingerprint scanner - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

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

Fingerprint Issues

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

I had the same issue a few times. Music stops, and if I click pause and play again, it just plays for a milisecond, and then silence again. I wanted to write here about that issue, but it happened 3-4 times in two months. Closing and opening the app which was playing sound solves the problem for me.
I've flashed a newer stock rom in odin, but the bug was still present. But that's definitely a software bug, samsung should know about it.

Try installing south east europe rom, XXU1BPH1 version, it didn't happen to me since that (august) update
Or if u are tired of flashing, send it to samsung, very stupid flaw, I agree!

I have the XXU1BPH1. The phone install september security update but nothing new. I believe the solution is send for rma but i think its a hard problem to solved. Samsung guys reset phone and test two minutes and its ok. Maybe with nougat problem its solved but the update come far away.
Did anyone find a solution for this problem, or contacted Samsung? It's very annoying, and it started happening to me very often.

Nothing. My go two times for warranty with videos for the problem and only restore factory settings and problem persists.
I can't believe it. I mean, that's a major bug if U ask me. I've heard that many people have the same issue. I'll contact samsung about it, maybe the nougat update fill fix it, but who knows when that will come.

It didn't happen to me for a month or more after a reset. So I guess it would be good to wait some time
But keep us updated here, if it's really whatsapp that's causing problems, at least we know who to blame!
Forget the whatsapp. I found the problem in my. Its hardware. Finally i have a way to show in store the problem. Try play a song or youtube video and apply pressure on back of the phone down the camera. Try in yours and tell me something

Hi. See the video.

Choppy and laggy scrolling every 3 seconds

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

Android 11 October Update is out

Has someone already upgraded and could perhaps share his patched magisk file?
Btw: It seems the random crashes/blackscreen ploblems that plagued alot of people here, including me, were at least to some degree Googles own fault (screenshot).
No fix for face unlock "clean the top of your screen, including the black bar"?

My face unlock works fine for the most part but every now and then I get this error. I reboot the phone and all works fine for a couple of days then it pops up again. I bought my phone from Carphone Warehouse so not sure where I stand.

Will most likely have more luck with Google. Not sure how well CPW online are for warranty claims, unless they are going to replace for a new unit I won't trust them.
I'm going to see if the new update works out before I speak to either of them. I rebooted yesterday after installing the October update so I will most likely find out tomorrow of it is resolved.

Wanted to get a Survery: Multitouch on Google Pixel 4A

Alright, so currently im dealing with some Multitouch issues on my Pixel 4a. The repair place i went to UBREAKIFIX said they'll have to do the whole repair they did preciously again and charge me (because of 2 small dents at the side of the screen). Would not recommend. I wanted to get a poll of everyone with this exact issue Here is some steps to test:
1. Enable Developer Options (Go into build number click however many times and get developers options
2. Go to Developer Options in System settings,
3. Scroll down to Input and enable "Show taps" and "Pointer Location.
4. Put two fingers down and see if multiple pointers are shown (If not, Multi-touch does not work)
Also some other Notes:
Downgrading to Android 10, Makes multitouch work for some reason :/
Also would like to know if you've gotten your phone repaired before.
Any help figuring this whole thing out is appreciated
Can I ask what was the repair they did the first time to fix your touch problem?

Dont know if started happening before or after, but i noticed it recently, and started digging, brought it to the place and they said they wouldnt cover it under warranty because of 2 small dents at the side of screen which have zero relation to the problem at hand

I honestly cant say if its the hardware or software, maybe it might be a combination of both? I'm not entirely sure, however downgrading to android 10 from googles flash tool does seem to have it work. I had what i would guess is a full screen replacement from UBREAKIFIX, due to shattering the entire screen. Honestly, spending 140 dollars just to see if it might work is not worth it to me, so I'm really not sure what to do.
Even doing it yourself the cheapest I've seen a screen is 110 from AliExpress, which I don't get because I just replaced one on a g7 moto play for 20 bucks off ebay

After looking for a while seems the entire drivers are different in the kernel. But that is my brief look at. If anyone who knows kernel drivers would like to take a look at it. Would be helpful
LineageOS 19.1 - multitouch just stopped working today after several weeks without problems. No repairs or damage.
I'm on stock but rooted. I've been slack so still on October patch. Multi touch working fine. Never had a problem with it.
(Finally updated to December patch and it's still working.)

I have LineageOS 19.1 here. So android 12. i'll try that android 10 approach
I can confirm now that downgrading to Official Google Pixel 4a Stock Rom Android 10 fixed the issue. I try to go back to LOS 20 now and see what happens.
PS: Using internal updater to update to Android 13 broke it again. Taking the long route now.
PPS: That chromium based flash tool is really handy. Would be awesome to have something like that for LineageOS.
PPS: As soon as I install anything above Android 10, multitouch stops working. I'll sell this stupid thing as is (will let te buyer know of course). Its a shame.
