[Q] Serious Problem - Lock Screen Fingerprint - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Well i am pretty much screwed unless someone can help me out.
I have my phone set to fingerprint lock screen. I performed the following command via ADB :
adb shell wm density 220 && adb reboot
the following message appears now because i think the DPI is too small:
"com.android.keyguard has stopped"
I do not have a backup - yes i made a big mistake.
My phone is not rooted and i would prefer to keep it this way for warranty. If i do not have any other option then i will root the phone but there must be something we can do to solve this issue.
Currently the phone is set to USB debugging mode but a message needs to appear for me to select "OK" or something for ADB to be used.
So the com.android.keyguard" message always appears and i cannot do anything else. each time i hit the OK button, and then the message appears again in not even 1 second. So i cannot get to the USB debugging mode and hit OK.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot cause I really don't know jack. But what if you try to boot up in safe mode? Will that help you get to where you need to get to fix the problem? Sorry if that was a stupid idea...

On another note, can you recommend a backup app i can use in that safemode/recovery mode if this were to happen again ?

[Q] USB Storage button unresponsive???

First..im runnin Sfr 1.2...genocide 2.0 kernel <superuser update fix>.....blazing blue theme. I used the usb cord to put the theme on my sd card obviously, but afterwards, when i try to connect my phone to computer..the connect button is unresponsive. Is this a theme problem possibly..a rom glitch...what do i need to reflash if anything? I been loving the rom and now im loving this theme and would like to keep both! Thanks in advance fam!!
Sounds like a theme issue considering it was working before you flashed the theme. i'm assuming you tried rebooting?

Known issue on SRF 1.2. This bug is apparently not affecting all users, but only a small group. I am in that small group.
The usb mount works only once per phone boot. The workaround is to keep usb debugging enabled.

Wow..that was it...i was wondering y it "randomly happened"...i normally turn off usb debugging unless im doing usb debugging type stuff, now i c that i need to keep it checked at all times. Thanks a lot. I also rooted two of friends phones and threw themes on them yesterday and was worried cause theirs were not workin also ...wheeww..i know what to tell them now!!! Thanks again guys...XDA is the best!!!
Whew, I'm glad it wasn't my theme. Scuurred me for a minute lol

Me too! I just blamed it on my constant flashing but good to know nothings corrupted on my end. For me I just use the usb mounting in cwm as a workaround

Also...while i have your attention lol...my gmail keeps updating..is that the reason why we cant have the "black market" anymore because its a built in feature or can we control? i have noticed that since i froze market updater, unless this has nothing to do with it..it slowed down the update process...hmm...inquiring rooters would like to know..mainly me lol..thanks in advance Z!!?!?!
Gmail will autoupdate, unless you uncheck it from the market. Is pretty annoying, which is why I don't theme google apps,they update to much.

Sorry for the simple questions but did you pull the battery? Are you sure your battery is is not dead?
Do you have access to recovery?
If no flash a firmware with fastboot.

You should still be able to get into fastboot menu and recovery though through holding volume up and down and then the power button.....
Anyway, glad you back up again.
Was your phone hot? It's possible that safety throttle stuff shut down the phone and waited till it cooled off? I honestly don't know how the throttle craps works.

Dunno I looked at the app and honestly I don't like it.. it feels bad.
I've always used Titanium Backup and it works great.

I have tried many backup apps.
but Titanium backup is confusing for me. I dont know how to use it properly.
if you where charging through your pc with usb cable
then maybe your usb cable wasnt correctly and had giving it a electrical shock
this happens to me a lot when i charge my phone
my pc self is buggy but yeah

It sounds like you wiped the system partition. (You don't have a ROM installed).. transfer a ROM to your SD card and flash it in recovery.

Screen rotation is reversed. Need help

This may sound wired but it's true, when I rotate my phone to play any games or anything else the screen always rotates the opposite way it was turned so that my screen is always upside down unless in portrait mode and is quite annoying.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Did you flash a custom kernel not made for your phone (Verizon,T-Mobile,etc)? This is the only time I have heard of this problem.

You got it from Original Developement-Zeus kernal http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207191, cause I also downloaded it and had the same video problem. I believe the kernel was ported from Verizon's GS3.

Extra Volume button

I just noticed that this button does not work
Once I reboot phone, it starts to work... but only for one call. After that call, it does not work again.
Anyone have this problem? know how to fix this?
Tried to disable the button and re-enable... does not affect it. Still same problem.
Thank you.
it runs JB 4.1.2

There's a button "volume increase" that appears during a call. What's the confusion? Need to read the TOPIC not only the post.
It gets disabled when you use Bluetooth, just fyi.

I do not use Blue Tooth, thus it is always off.
Try unchecking, rebooting, then re-checking the option shown under Phone settings.
Maybe Rom then? I'm sure you're on Stock kernel. Mine never was disabled!

I have no idea. It is a T-Mobile (USA) phone... I am not that advanced with stuff like this when it comes to phones.
For T-Mobile, follow the link and basically follow directions for unrooting. It will load stock everything for you. File other directions if you want to root afterwards.

Thanks, but won't it void my warranty? I tried it with another phone, and right after that when I tried to get updates, it said that my phone is not eligible for updates anymore.

Returning to stock will put your phone back in warranty state. Just don't root and you'll be fine.
