Fingerprint sensor stopped working - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

It worked for the first couple of days then all of a sudden it just stopped working, no error messages, nothing, Google couldn't even figure it out. I feel like someone made a thread on this already but can't find it. Anybody else had this issue and fixed it?

Vibration doesn't work

Hi. I've had my Desire for some weeks now. But some day or two ago the text vibration stopped working. It's only the vibration when I get a text that doesn't work. When someone calls, feedback when I'm writing also work.
Anyone of you that know what it could be? I've checked settings etc.

I had the very same problem with my first Desire on a week or two after I got it. I tried literally everything. I called HTC they had no idea what to do nor how to fix it. So I called T-Mobile (who I got the phone from) told them about it, they couldn't fix it either so I got a replacement phone.
Seemingly there is no way of fixing it. The motor is fine, but something is bugged. Perhaps one of the more astute Desire users (using custom ROMs) may be able to shed some more light on the problem, but as far as I know, it is unfixable.
Ok. I guess I need to contact the store I got it from. Thanks

This is a known issue which means the text vibration stops working when the battery gets low and it doesn't come back after charging the phone.
Download and install sound manager from Android market, use it to turn on text message vibration and it'll all work again for you. Best of all It's all completely free.
Let us know if it works for you like it did for me.

I just love a problem like this that seems unfixable only to find a detailed and workable fix. Bravo.
I wish I would've known that before getting a replacement phone. Ah well, it didn't cost me anything.
Glad it worked for you all, can't remember where I first heard it but it worked for me

it worked for me too
I installed sound manager after, I observed that the vibration does not work on my phone.For the beginning all was OK,I began testing and saw that from 5 calls 3-4 are without vibration and 1 is with the vibration,though the vibration is on from phone settings and sound manager.I didn't try to factory reset the phone because I would lose everything .Any ideas would be appreciated.
I had this problem a while ago. Download 'Sound Manager' from the Market, and there's an option in it, 'Vibrate Always' or something. That did it for me anyway, hope it helps you

I had an intermittent problem with the vibrate function after about 6 months. I sent my phone back to HTC. Initially they replaced the motherboard which didn't fix the problem. I sent it back again (set as priority) and they replaced the vibration module. It all works fine now. It's an option to consider if you can put up with being without your phone but I think it's worth doing.

Anyone having an issue with the LED?

I bought two phones yesterday; one for me and one for my wife. Mine worked perfect fine but hers is having a weird issue with the led flash. At first it wouldn't turn on at all, rebooted the phone, took out the battery, and boom it worked with a flashlight app, but it still won't work with the camera app.
Anyone else having this issue?

"OK Google" detection from any screen kills the alarm

Just in case someone else runs into this issue.
My alarm (default app) would get snoozed immideately after going off, thus becoming useless.
I have discovered that if I disable the "OK Google" detection from any screen option, the alarm functions fine.
Hope it helps someone not to miss any important appointments.
The ok google from any screen feature also kills the video camera. You get a "can not record while on a call" warning.

Glad I happened to see this post ... For the past week I've been trying to figure out what was automatically dismissing my alarm ... Uninstalled and reinstalled so many apps and xposed modules and never figured it out. Thanks!

Gald I could help. Also, at least I know that it's not only happening on my phone.
I wonder if the bug has to be submitted to Google or LG?

Running in to a similar issue. But instead of the alarm snoozing. I get a pop up message stating "Alarm/Clock has stopped working" and then a flashing notification light. The problem started just this week. I uninstalled the latest Google update and also turned off OK Google" detection from any screen, but that doesn't seem to have had any impact. Odd that I've had no problems with Google Now up until this past Tuesday.

I was unable to replicate your issue. I only get the "Snoozed" notification.
However, I moved to Timely alarm app since and it works just fine.
Thank you for the response. I was hoping I'd be able to figure out what's the issue is and continue to use the stock app. But looks like I'll have look into a third-party app.
Thanks again.

The recent Google Search update seems to have fixed my issue.

Snapchat

Shot in the dark I guess but since I got this device, Snapchat has been terribly laggy and almost unusable. Specifically when using the keyboard for text. Sometimes when I launch it, the camera is just black for roughly 5 seconds and then the back camera comes on finally. The chat feature is very slow at times and the entire app seems to stall and crash at least once a day. Anyone else notice this?
A quick google search yielded several recent topics on various forums complaining about the same thing, all on 6.0 Marshmallow. Hopefully it's not just this device.
I'm getting this exact thing
I went through that too. Once I had to restart it to make the camera work again. My tip is do not try use volume keys until it load completely. It just frozen the app in a black screen. Isn't perfect but can be used.
It's probably not optimized as well for 6.0 yet
Snapchat hasn't been perfect for me, but I've never experienced any of those issues. The worst I get is a little delay when pressing the home button.

I have had this problem we will have to wait for an update!! Basically that's what I've been telling myself lately about marshmallow

I can tell you guys I had this problem on my Nexus 6 on Marshmallow, it has to be something related to 6.0, I'm on a LG G4 now and snapchat runs just fine.
Kinda laggy for me too. And I can't get it to play a notification sound when I recieve snaps. I have turned it on in settings and I get a notification as normal, but no sound. Does anyone else have this problem?
Just uninstalled it from the n5x will have to limit myself to using it on n72013 it was unusable. Crashes camera failed to load then started to affect the stock camera app, would cause system crashes and could only be sorted with a reboot.
Same here its completely horrible to use of this phone. Phone ****s itself every time I try use it!

The app has been perfectly fine for me, up until the update I got yesterday. Now I see exactly what everyone is talking about....it's completely unusable now.
Our of curiosity...are you guys all encrypted?

Ok never mind then. I've been decrypted since I got the phone, until I took an OTA recently. It's been crap since then, but I guess it's unrelated

stock & encrypted and snapchat runs like poo for me. shame because its one of my most used apps :/
Well again Snapchat just updated, and now I'm back to it working fine again....
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
The past few updates have been good for me luckily.. Just don't try to send a snap while in landscape, I tried to add text and Swiftkey went all wonky and overlayed the screen even after I pressed Home, had to force close Snapchat and Swiftkey both :/
me too I have same issues the lag and so slowly for texting and even after update marshmallow update 6.0.1 the problem still the same I hope can anyone help me with issue what should to do and thanks you
So I am a power snapchat user and had this same problem and might have accidentally stumbled on a possible solution after having a login failure. I enabled the travel mode so it's not downloading constantly. I installed snapprefs and I can't explain why but it's flying now. No lag on window switching or opening the camera. I'm on 6.0.1 December rooted
Everytime I take video from Snapchat, it produces the sound "dug" at the first second of the video, never put my finger too hard on the phone so it isn't bcs of my finger knocking the screen, anybody know why?

Trying Doorbell Problem

Does anyone on here have a Ring doorbell? I just installed one today and it sucks on my XL. It freezes, I can't talk to who's out there and can't hear them. Also it takes a few seconds when I touch the screen for it to recognize it. Like I hit my home button and 5 seconds later it finally closes the app. The weird thing is it works great on my Nexus 7. Anyway just wondering if anyone else has the same problem or any ideas on how to fix it.

So obviously this was supposed to say Ring Doorbell Problem. How do I fix that. Nothing is going right for me today I guess.
I have the Ring and had similar problems in the beginning. However, it settled down over time. Give it a few days, and maybe uninstall and reinstall the app. Good luck.
Thanks. Hopefully it will settle down. I tried uninstalling and installing but still doesn't work. I don't understand this phone. It seems to have too many problems.

After upgrading my Galaxy S7 to the Android N beta I'm having issues with the Ring videos. Video playback (live or streaming or downloaded and played back) of Ring videos is basically broken. Playback freezes up, only the latter part of the video seems to play for a bit.
Everything is working fine now, maybe a reboot was all that was needed?
I have ring doorbell on my Pixel XL . I had problems hooking it up to my phone . Finally got to hook after an hour. No problems since

It seems like N has some real problems. I can't get my phone to stay connected to my GMC vehicle and apps can cause it to lock up and not work. I had most of the same problems when my 6P updated. Hope it gets fixed soon.

I've figured out the issue. I have a Huawei watch. When my watch is connected that's when the problems happen. No idea how to fix it other than trying to turn off Bluetooth before opening the notification from ring app.
