Hi,
I am experiencing issues with fingerprint unlock after update to OxygenOS 3.2.8 last week.
When I put finger on the middle button, usually it does unlock the phone... BUT - in about 1/4 of all tries, it just wakes up the (lock) screen and not actually unlock the phone. I figured that this happens when there are notifications on lock screen. It is really annoying, when this happens, even after turning screen off and then pressing the middle button only the lock screen appears and I have to put in PIN code manually to unlock the phone.
Does anyone faces similar issue?
For the record, I have rooted phone and stock ROM. Xposed installed.

I was typing out a text today (normal mode, not landscape) and out of nowhere the screen faded out and went to the lock screen. What was even more peculiar was that I had no option to unlock the phone; when I tried to swipe my finger where the unlock button should be, the screen dimmed and the letters for the time turned blue while the other stuff (signal, battery, etc) disappeared from the screen.
When I hit the home button I was able to get back into the phone, however it faded back to whatever mock lock screen was there before. The second time I hit the home button it let me get back to the text and finish it.
Has anyone else had a similar issue? I've unlocked my bootloader, rooted, and have flashed several different radios (currently on ugkl1, stock was xxkk6).

I have not had that happen...I am unlocked, rooted, and running a custom rom and kernel. The only thing i did not switch is the radio...So may be what is causing it?
I reset the radio to XXKK6 just for safe measure.
Anyone else seen this issue?
I had weird problems with typing messages in Handcent with weird lag and even force closes on 4.0.2. Have not had these problems on 4.0.4.
So, as it turns out, this problem was cause by my own stupidity...
What was happening as that, in a very small amount of time, my thumb hit the task manager button, and the Clock app was the one that was right under my thumb, which was subsequently selected. For some reason, if you start Clock and try to swipe your finger, the screen dims.
So, total false alarm. Move along, nothing to see here.
my oneplus 3 (rooted) is not accepting my swipe pattern and does not give me the option to enter a pin code after a forgotten swipe pattern. i called oneplus but the person i spoke to said the only option was to wipe the phone. she would not allow me to talk directly to anyone with any technical expertise.
when i power on the phone everything seems normal until i get to the swipe pattern screen. first ,the bootloader screen (i think, the screen where you either press the start button to start the phone, or use the volume buttons to select options like poweroff/restart/recovery etc) shows up and then the oneplus logo comes up with the 'powered by android' at the bottom. then it shows the two white dots orbiting the red circle and then the screen to enter the swipe pattern appears with 'to start android, draw your pattern' at the top. i have made a few failed attempts, but it is now counting down, saying you have 6 attempts before the phone is wiped.
about two weeks ago i began having an issue that occurred maybe 2 or 3 times since. i would pull my phone out of my pocket and it would be powered off. after i turned it on, the initial swipe pattern would not be accepted, but the second swipe was always accepted.
i have tried entering recovery mode (teamwin), but the swipe pattern fails here also.
is there any way to get the phone started without losing my data?

Don't think you can do anything. Haven't encountered this what did you do with your phone? Are you on the latest TWRP? Latest OOS?

i had not changed anything on the phone recently. the swipe pattern has been the same since i got the phone over 2 years ago. i believe i was on the latest twrp, and i had a notification for about a week or two that there was an update available, but did not get around to downloading and installing it yet.
Hi all,
I noticed that sometimes when I try to open the secure folder on my Note10+, the phone does not show the unlock options, but just a blank screen with a back button. The back button can be tapped but does not do anything. I am not able to swype down from the top and bring up the notification bar. When I turn off the screen and/or lock the phone by pressing the power button, I can unlock the phone itself, but it then takes me back to the blank page. So far the only way I am able to get out of this situation is rebooting the phone using the power button (which still responds).
I have the firmware up-to-date (september security patch). It is an unlocked european version, and I use a pattern and fingerprint recognition.
I was able to screenshot the state. The screenshot itself is already placed in the secure folder. See attached.
Anyone else who encountered this issue?
My LG G8 (LM-G820UM) Updated to Android 10 within the last month, and since the update I've noticed an issue with my device failing to actually lock when pressing the power button. The screen will go black, but when pressing it again to wake the device goes to my home screen rather than showing the lock screen. This issue is intermittent and I cannot pin down what causes this. My 'Secure lock settings' show that pressing the power key should instantly lock the phone. I do not have face unlock on, but I do have Hand ID and fingerprint unlock on.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated in helping to find the root of this issue.
Hi
I got the xt-1710-09 and recently installed the android 9 upgrade which never was officially released for this version.
everything works fine except every few weeks something crashes which results in the screen always staying off. I first considered it a hardware fault since the contacts to the screen aren't that good any more which results in gfx glitches when applying slight pressure to the screen.
Now I realized when booting into TWRP via ADB the screen goes on again and the phone works for a few weeks.
does anybody have an idea what could be the cause?
I suspect the code of the fingerprint sensor. since this code already crashed earlier which resulted in the fingerprint gestures not working any more until reboot.
when the screen is dead everything works fine except well the screen and touch control. which mean the phone is almost unusable except via "ok google" speech control.
using the fingerprint the phone vibrates approval. (not the wrong fingerprint vibration)
but regardless of pressing power button or fingerprint sensor, the screen just stays black.
i believe I rebooted the phone several times via letting run the battery down or pressing the power button for a long time. this did not help. only booting into TWRP always (temporarly) solves the issue.
the phone is unlocked, rooted and twrp installed.
thanx
