Hi,
A few days ago, I bought a new Samsung Galaxy A5, 2017 edition.
I really like that it has a fingerprint sensor, but I would like to have more then just 3 fingerprints in there.
Is that possible? I've searched on google, but I can only find a guide for S5, which doesn't seems to
apply for the A5.
It would really be awesome if I could add at least 4 fingerprints - both thumbs and both index fingers.
You guys' help would be much appreciated.
Cheers!
It's a bit annoying but you can use more than just 3 fingers in those 3 fingerprin profiles until a solution is found. I added 4 fingers into those 3 fingerprints and it works fine for me.

Wow, that actually works! Thanks! I even feel like the multifinger fingerprint works better than the other two that a base on a single finger.

I've just checked and it still only allows you to add 3 fingerprints. Once you add 3, there's no add button any more.
Can you provide a way or a guide or even a screenshot? But it must be from and A5 2017, not some other Galaxy model.

If you add fingerprint... scan your fingers as many as you can until 100% scan.... example 0-25% thumb then middle 25-50% :good:

That's been said before and is technically still 3 fingerprints as far as the phone knows.

Hey guys,
I have a few questions for the note 2...
1) Does the white version of this phone get dirty?
2) If i put a screen protector will the s pen work fine?
1) nope. today i was watching a review by phonenow and they said surprisinglu the white doe not get dirty by any means..
2)it depends on the quality of screen protector. so it can be both ways itcan not effevt or affect it too

2: Unless there is something radically different about the Note II screen or pen, then the iShield screen-protector should work absolutely fine it all works perfectly fine with my Note I

I doubt it... unless you twist the screen back and fourth to landscape / portrait and hack the shake feature in the app. The note 8.0 does not have all the features as the Tab 3, even though it is a faster and better tablet.

"Protect the hardware buttons"? Seriously?
I've had 4 different Android devices, and 2 WinMo before that, and never had a button fail.

If you want the feature because you like it, that's fine. But its not what you said in the first post.
I have some questions plz answer these -
1. Does it have 2.5 D glass
2. How good is the display i.e. are blacks deep like Samsung phones considering it has an amoled display
3. How is the build quality?Had any scratches
4. How good is development for this phone ,I mean I have Mi4 and still is well developed Can I expect these to be developed for at least 2 - 3 years.
5.Is camera that bad ?
1. No.
2. IMO yes.
3. Superb. No wiggle room anywhere.
4. TBH quite bad at the moment compared to other devices. It seems like progress is being made although very slowly. The stock ROM is decent enough to warrant using it in the meantime though.
5. It's bad. God... So bad.
The display is amazing, i didn't want to purchase another Amoled screen ever again since the Samsung Galaxy Nexus but this phone is worth it.
Even though the build is great with an all metal build.. you should still get a case and screen protector to keep it shiny.
I'm sure development will get much better, there is no rush. After reading around the forums it seems the Roms are usable.. but hey.. it is a lot better than the Dev for the Zenfone Max. They have troubles with no offline charging and phone doesn't turn on when battery reach 0%, so users have to keep it above 5% in order to not semi brick it. This device don't have those bugs.. so that's good. :laugh:
Also another good thing is that they have numerous Roms and am glad that they update the Lineage 13 Roms too, but Stock Rom is just as fine.
Until Lenovo fully stops updating soon; probably by September 2018.. using Custom Roms would be ideal to update when it happens. That would be my suggestion.

Hey, Thanks bro
But I think Redmi note 4 which retails as same price has many more developers and roms and much more engagement.Thats why I am a little worried to buy this.Here I saw just 2 developers doing all the work.I respect their work.But still we are here lacking kernels etc.
Do u think lenovo will continue providing updates till September 2018.I don't think so.

From a technical perspective it seems like a great device indeed. But you are correct. Moto & Redmi (I guess Huawei too) are more widely-spread. However (speaking for me and the local market) compared to the best available version of Moto G5, this phone has slightly better technical specifications (+1gb ram) for the same price.
Dude, I really hope, that I will enjoy this phone as much as my old G2 and my ancient Galaxy S. :fingers-crossed:
Hey guys i bought the new 8.1 today and i see some problems. I'm just gonna list em just tell me if its there or is there any fixes for those!?
1) Ambient brightness is broke,
2) switching theme to dark doesn't work!
3) display turns off during a call as usual, not turning on while taking it off my ear
4) swiping to other apps hang for a second like 2 times in 50
But seriously disappointed because these are some basic things that aren't working here

1) Ambient brightness was actually learning it seems (My usage), now it seems fine.
2) pixel 3 live wallpapers enforces white theme even if dark is enabled! but dark is working if normal wallpapers or pixel 2017 wallpapers are used!
3) problems 3 and 4 didn't happen after a hard reset.
4) you have calibrate E-compass every restart, it shows wrong North i guess e-compass always sucks
Other than that every things fine..... Can you give me a link of any working arnova's or best gcam mod link if you have any?
Thanks in advance

Use BSG ports. Because BSG using MI 8 and both Mi 8 and Nokia 8.1 have same camera sensors in my knowledge. I am using latest BSG port for Mi 8 in my N 8.1 and everything works fine.

It could be just my eyes but I think he was touching 6T a tad bit earlier. Also I absolutely despise the FP sensor in than A50 but apparently there has already been a firmware update in India(? or South Asia in general). In the video you linked, it appears to be still on the 1st Feb update. For now I'm using the face unlock option which is quite fast and waiting for the FP update in coming weeks.
From the fingerprint I am very disappointed. The next day my fingerprint didn't work. I Had to set it up again. Unreliable and slow. I Had a Blackberry key one Black edition. There was a fingerprint of 100%. Samsung A50 is not reliable...

The Fingerprint is not good as I expected.
Itseems that after the update fingerprint performance is little slow.
Oneplus 6t can not be compared to Galaxy A50. almost 50% of price difference is there. So, be gentle a bit about phone and comparison. A50 is definitely slow but hope that samsung will fix it soon.
Meanwhile, Either use face unlock (which is quite fast) or just the pattern.
Now at ASC7. Latest update for now. Though they wrote that fixed fingerprint in this update, but nothing positive happened. Fingerprint is such terrible, as before. Probably it is hardware shortage. Have to use face unlock instead of fingerprint
Yup fingerprint sensing is garbage coz the under display camera is garbage. there's a reason this phone is so cheap.

FP is total crap. The rest is pretty nice at this price tag. Back camera is far above my wishes - i do not expect it to be at DLSR level ( as some do ). Front camera - I do not care.
btw the face unlock is super fast(turn off swipe to unlock after face detected in settings). pity it's not an IR sensor so doesn't work at night but i've set the phone to be unlocked when connected to my pebble smartwatch(smart unlock) anyways so that's not an issue for me.

From my personal experience, a dirty fix would be to turn off the face unlock and rely only on FP to unlock your device. Been doing it for two days now and the FP unlock feels much faster. With the March update and both FP and face unlock, trying to unlock with my FP always took like 3-4 tries, now it always unlocks in first try with FP ever since I have deleted my recognized face.
I'm using only FP and just to confirm it's slow and garbage even with March update. 3-4 continuous times unlocking like a charm but after that, next 4-5 times dont unlocking. Pretty weird if i can say. Isn't it?

Face Unlock works with eyes closed and at a very wide angle even with Faster Recognition switched off, basically making the phone accessible to anyone while you are sleeping.
Smart Unlock using wearable ends up allowing the phone to be switched off without entering the pin or pattern. This implies that a stolen phone wouldn't be trackable while also making the phone easily accessible when placed on a table.
For some, the lower level of security wouldn't matter but the fingerprint sensor is the best option in terms of security and it is disappointing that Samsung fluffed it. I am using it with a tempered glass and am able to get the best performance by re-registering regularly using my regular grip. Even then, there is the occasional failure and the speed is simply not up to scratch compared to capacitive sensors.

hey guys : here is a simple trick to get best out of the fingerprint scanner.
1. Register 1 finger,
2. Add the same finger again
3. For the third time do the same.
Now the speed maybe as earlier but the accuracy will never fail. So bye bye to the No match error.
Hope this helps..!

Accuracy isn't that much of a problem if the fingerprint is added at the correct angles but the speed definitely is. Moreover, people are likely to use the phone single handedly with either hands in which case a single finger addition is a huge inconvenience. I use either of my thumbs based on the holding hand as well as my index finger when the phone is on a flat surface where using a thumb is ridiculous.

Yes it improves the accuracy and the fingerprints response is fast.
