Hi,
I've asked why I can't see fingerprint ID in settings, So I did run adb shell > cat proc/app_info
and I notice that fingerprint is missing , probably because I drop my phone and the finger print in scratched really I don't know yet if the problem is in software or hardware .
Help Please ?

Is there anyway I can enable wifi tethering over adb. I rely on my G2 for internet access and my screen recently quit working. So I was wondering is there anyway to turn on tethering so that I can have internet access when my roomate isn't here with his blackberry.
As far as I know, there isn't really a way to get tethering working with only ADB. Can you explain specifically what doesn't work, the touch screen or the LCD itself? If it's the lcd and you can still touch it, then I suggest using the SDK screenshot tool to help you set up one of the quick keys as a shortcut to the tether app/service. If it's the touch screen, then you might still be able to use the trackpad to set the quick keys also.
Also, I suspect something might be wrong with your data ribbon beneath the hinge, are you sure it's not disconnected?
i believe the G2 still has the input command, and the android SDK has a way of taking screen shots, so you can either do adb shell input key xx where xx is the key number value on the phone(can be found by using clockwork and finding keytest), also my syntax there may be off, adb shell into the phone and type input and see what the phone says the syntax should be. and if the screen is broke you can take screenshots of what "should" be on the screen and move around that way.
Thanks for the help everyone, but I got tired of not having internet i ended up trying to touch it from memory and got it right on the first try. There isn't any damage to either screen, it just quit working while it was in my pocket. I figured it was probably the data cable since I can move the screen up and down a couple times and the screen will change from all white to all black or some other color. I'm not planning on messing with it too much. i have a warranty replacement coming in on the 1st and i'll just wipe it through fastboot and send it in
I replaced my broken screen yesterday but I have an issue when I type I got this problem where it swipe while I didnt swipe it it like it think that my finger is on when I type with a high speed.
Is there any solution for that?
Please help.
So last night I rebooted my phone and found that my fingerprint scanner isn't scanning my finger.
When my screen is locked, the fingerprint scanner doesn't work, it just doesn't respond (it's not consistent, when I use different lock methods (power button method, root method, accessebility method, Xposed method) it works one time and then again stops working)
There are 3 options of what happens:
I turn off the screen and put my finger on the scanner
1) the device unlocks
2) the device screen turns on and shows me the screen as if I pressed the home or power button
3) I get no response (this seems to be happening if I pressed the power button when the device is already locked)
1 and 2 are not always consistent, and I haven't pin pointed what the cause is
If 1) happens, then of course it works as expected and it will vibrate if it's the wrong finger, and unlock if it's correct
If 2) happens, it's the same as 1) just the device doesn't unlock, but just the screen turns on
If 3) happens, then it doesn't matter which finger, there is no response
I tried safe mode, it still didn't work.
I tried magisk core mode, also didn't help.
I saw someone wrote that it might be because of the dinner print gestures, but I don't use them, so I tried to activate them and they fully work even when the scanner isn't scanning my finger...
The scanner itself works, any app that I can use biometrics would recognize my finger...
And I know my fingers are still recognized, I made sure to check in settings... I even removed all my registered fingers and put in new ones, I rebooted between each step to see if it helps...
I have no idea what caused this problem, if any one knows please help.
My phone's situation is SM-G9600,
Magisk, EdXposed (obviously I tried the scanner after disabling both by putting magisk in core mode)
Android patch level from 1 September 2019
If this helps- build number: PPR1.180610.011.G9600ZHU5CSI2
I'll be happy to provide any information that might be helpful
The S9 has a common problem where the fingerprint scanner becomes unreliable even if there's a small scratch on it. Could you upload a photo of the back of your phone?
Here are some pictures taken with the phone through a mirror, no scratches on the sensor... Also it works in other situations, like anything that has somthing to do with fingerprint other then the screen lock.
I checked the the logs and I have some strange things there, for some reason the device is turning the fingerprint scanner off as if I don't have any registered prints... I also asked a friend to send me his logs, and the look like what one would expect, I'll attach the screenshots of both logs
Hi there, Please help me with this weird bug in my MM3's lock function. I haven't read about it anywhere else and I did not update or tweak my rooted system in any way so I'm at a loss as to what caused this probleman d how to fix it.
I am no longer able to employ a simple numerical or pattern screen lock. I go to settings, choose and then confirm the number or pattern, and hit accept -- at which point it asks me for a fingerprint (which I do not want to add) and when I hit cancel, the phone remains unlocked. If I hit add a fingerprint and refuse to present my finger, the phone also remains unlocked. This is so freaking weird!
(MM3 rooted but on stock Android 9 PKQ1.181007.001 -- Miui Global 11.0.6 Stable)
Honestly, I wouldn't give a damn as I never use a screen lock except I am in fact forced to use it every few weeks or whenever I want to review my Brave browser passwords. It forces me to set a lock screen in order to see them. So if there's a workaround just to see passwords, that would do me fine.
Because the basic number and pattern locks aren't functioning properly, I wouldn't even consider adding a fingerprint (and in fact, I have never done so. I have a probably irrational distrust of fingerprint, voice and retina security ... plus I live alone so such measures aren't necessary)
Can anyone give me any clues as to what could be causing this and how to fix it or get around it? Or even if there is a way to see my Brave passwords without employing a lock?
Theoretically, I could try temporarily installing a fingerprint lock which I could then remove after reviewing my Brave passwords. But I have an irrational dislike of fingerprint, voice and retina locks and never use that stuff. Moreover, given the basic number and gesture locks aren't functioning properly, the last thing I want to do is try a fingerprint.
I have just done recent update and now my fingerprint sensor not responding
You'll need to provide more info if you want help. What version of the phone, what software version. More specifics about what you've tried. (Re-add prints etc)
