I'm using the fingerprint scanner on the back but it doesn't vibrate when you've incorrectly placed your finger on it. LG v20 does which is quite handy, so you know immediately if your finger is in the right place or not.
does anyone know how to to turn it on? or can you even..... I've tried googling but couldn't find anything and I tried searching forums but nothing on the s8/s8+
thanks
Don't know, but my phone definitely vibrates when it can't recognize the fingerprint...

Are you trying it from the lock screen or with AOD on/screen off? From the lock screen I get a vibrate if it's wrong or misread only. When my screen is showing the AOD, I get no vibrate with my attempts at all, regardless of it being right or wrong/misread.
I'm not using AOD if that helps.

trying to unlock without AOD.
on a side note when AOD is on and the phone is in your pocket does it turn off or stay on? same as on a table upside down.
thanks

Giving a few more tests it seems that my phone does vibrate with the fingerprint attempts with screen off.
AOD should be off when the proximity sensor detects it in a pocket or face down, basically when something is close to the phone screen. An easy way to tell is to leave it face down or remove it from your pocket and look at the screen as soon as possible and you should see that there is nothing there at first.
Try this:
Go to Settings -> Sounds and vibration -> Vibration Intensity and turn up the vibration feedback. Mine was set about mid way and was working. With it set to the lowest setting I didn't feel any vibration with the wrong finger (to simulate a misread).

Is there a way to enable vibration feedback even for a successful fingerprint unlock?

I've seen people trying to disable the bottom button backlight, but nothing about enabling it. I just got my Charge today in the mail. Powered up, no button backlight. Connected USB, no button backlight. Under what conditions are those buttons supposed to light up?
Try putting your finger over the proximity sensor. My light only turns on when it's dark.

I switched on the pattern unlock, now I dont want it... i unchecked it in settings and it is still there... sometimes i get the regular lock screen and then I will wake it up and it will have the pattern unlock!! btw the phone is completely stock. has any one had this problem? i have also did battery pulls to no avail!!
hah, sounds like mine. i have mine set to on and unless i press the power button to shut the screen off then it doesnt work.
if i let the screen time out the pattern lock doesnt work and its just the regular swipe screen.

You need to change the time out settings to immediately (settings,location and security,time out)
Original post,
You have to press on the menu item change screen lock enter your pattern then select none

Thanks, mine are set that way. it can sit for a hour or overnight and do the same thing.
That's not normal at all lol. There are two settings for time out....one under display and the other under security (just in case )
Otherwise who knows...sounds like you have a bunk unit

if you go to the phones main settings, security, lockscreen, then turn off the lockscreen, you can wake the device with the volume buttons.

Yes, this is a way.
There is a lot of way to wake up the phone, for example you can flash a kernel with Touch Wake support (just touch the screen to wake the phone).

yea, but with touchwake youre phone never goes into sleep(not good for battery life). its awake, just the screen is off. plus you cant keep it in your pocket with touchwake, youll just end up turning the screen on.

Why? Nexus s has a capacitive screen, so if you don't touch it with your fingers or with something that's an electrical conductor, the screen shouldn't turn on...am I wrong?

i would think so too, but..
tell that to my phone that not only opened applications while in my pocket, when i was using touchwake, but once opened the rootbooter app then booted into recovery and wiped my dalvik
You can check al_madd's guide on Nexus S with Power button broken:

You can call your phone, then it will wake up

Of course...but this way is "uncomfortable" ehehehe .
You always need another phone only to wake up your nexus s.
I usually have to press the lock button twice to lock or unlock the screen.
Does this happen to anyone else?

I dont think the button is wearing out, I think its how its suppose to work, I have a Samsung Focus 1.3 and it needs to clicks to wake up from when I click the button to turn it off. However when it shuts off on its own, I only need one click to wake it up.
I did test this for about a week because I never noticed until I saw this post about a week ago.
Hi
Is there a way to disable the lock screen altogether so when one presses the power it goes directly to the desktop without an added swipe? I have this option on my nexus 4....
How do you people wake up the phone quick if it's lying on the table and one can't reach the fingerprint sensor?
That is exactly what I would like to do, disable Lockscreen! Have you found a way to do it? Or has anyone else?
Settings\Developer options\Screen lock.
Try the above to see if it works. I am using an international mate 9 in Hong Kong.
double tap to wake up is the only thing this Mate9 lacks of hope they will bring this back to Mate10 or I will go for LG V30 next year for sure
Mine "Settings\Developer options\Screen lock" has been gray off. Anyway suggestion?

Unfortunately, you have to factory reset to use this setting in this case.
What if you lost your phone? Not a good idea to have no security lock screen at all.

I pick the phone up and place my finger on the sensor. It's not that difficult. ?
