Bank app on Lineage 16 not reading QR codes - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hi,
Im having a problem not being able to read QR codes from then Bank app to login into it!
Im using a Fairphone 2 with Lineage 16 (microg)
My guess is that then bank app is relying in something missing for reading QR codes. Other apps can read QR codes normally. The default camera of the OS don't read QR codes, either open camera app. could it be that the app is relying on that?
I contacted bank support but they couldn't figure out a way to make it work.
Has someone else have had this problem? any solution?
Thanks!

Can you try installing a camera app from the play store that reads QR codes and set that as your default camera then try the bank app.

That is a good idea. but I couldn't find the way to make a QR reader app be the default camera app. I tried clearing default camera app but then when I trigger the camera button and it asks me to choose an app I can only choose between the default app and Open Camera. From the bank app it even doesnt ask for the camera app to choose, eve when there is no default camera app chosen.
My guess is that the QR code apps that I tried, (Binary eye and SecScanQR) are using the default camera to take the image and then process it but they are not camera apps itself, so i can't choose them to be the default camera apps?. I tried finding another camera apps in the yalp store that supports QR but I couldnt find an alternative.
Any further idea?
Thanks a lot

Did you ever solve this?
I find myself in the same situation now on my Galaxy s9.

If anyone stumbles upon this problem and can't use banking with Swedish BankID,
I've found a workaround.
BankID is happy to accept a "autostarttoken" from a 3d party QR reader as long as it has &redirect= in the link.
I use binary eye... Follow this:
(0. Make sure binary eye is configured to inspect links)
1. Type "&redirect=" anywhere and mark it and copy/cut the text
2. Start a login
3. Read the QR code with binary eye
4. Long press at the end of the link and paste you "&redirect="
5. Press the button in the bottom right of binary eye to open the link.
6. Happy banking!

Enpass fails to open with fingerprint

Hi all.
Just a quick note to say that I've been using Enpass for about 2 years now. The recent update that allows you to log into Enpass with a fingerprint fails.
On closer inspection, it seems the app will not allow you to open the app with a fingerprint, you MUST use your master password but if you leave the app running in the background, then the fingerprint will re-open the app.
This seems useless to me and something Enpass needs to make clear. If you read their app info, it just says you are able to open the app with a fingerprint. Not right in my opinion.

I've looked at Lastpass. This app does open with a fingerprint but to be honest, I find it very confusing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

PARTIALLY successful snapchat installation

Alright, I've been trying for days different ways to install snapchat on windows phone and I finally figured out a solution that PARTIALLY works. Only chat, stories, and discover - but photo and video taking is NOT enabled. Also, this only works if you have an Astoria build. If you don't, I suggest downgrading using this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/general/installed-leaked-windows-10-mobile-t3173000
Instructions:
1. Download and install APKTOW10M (use the search function to find it)
2. Download and install a patched version of snapchat from here: https://mega.nz/#!r1YSWKCJ!A9x3YLLQyOMaTq8be4iaNbrAW4R4ay2QQWW-dQEg4TA
3. Install the apk like normal using the APKTOW10M program (it's pretty simple)
4. Boot up the app and make a new account. This will NOT work if you try to login with an old account. I'm sorry, but those are the current limitations of this method.
5. Whenever the app opens, it will give you an error message about the camera not working. Tap "cancel" and swipe in the appropriate direction (left for chat, right for stories and discover, up for adding contacts, etc). You have to swipe pretty fast after hitting "cancel" or else the notification will pop up again.
This is pretty diminished functionality, but it's something. If anyone has any ideas for getting the camera to work, I'm all ears. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to modify the apk to properly use the camera function?
Dude, really? are you advising "downgrade" knowing this is very risky?
It's time to leave Astoria go away.
I really hope MS will resurrect Astoria, it was so much fun when it was present.

How can i enable the "Nearby places" in the stock dialer app?

Hi all,
I recently bought the Xiaomi a1 ,which is great phone so far.
For some reason, the stock dialer app is not including the option of searching for businesses (aka "nearby places") by searching in the text field of the app.
Do someone know how it can be enabled there?
Thanks.

Just install the attached Google dialer (no root) and give the permissions to access the location.
The "nearby places" works just fine and also the caller ID picture works.

Question Save to PDF not working

Hi,
There is a feature wherein, one can print to pdf from any app which has this feature emabled. Like say from any mail app, one can print an email and system print dialogue opens up and provides an option as "Save to PDF". Earlier this used to save the print in a pdf format. But now clicking on Save icon results in an error "couldn't create file". Is this only happening to me or is it not available anymore on any android device. Can someone provide an alternative wherein I can save certain information via Save to PDF feature.
Many apps I tried from playstore doesn't work as it was available earlier. As soon as I share a web page from chrome to print, the web page doesn't get loaded into the app for pages which are session based which are mostly transactional confirmation pages. Like say making payment for any service or product and trying to take a print of that to save as pdf.
Would be thankful if anyone can help.
Sounds like a bug on Xiaomi's part. Not sure there's a solution. Sorry
I think turning on MIUI Optimisation should do the thing.

Question Corona vaccination app doesn't work in Germany.

So I have a BIG problem with the Corona check app. The app crashed suddenly when I try to scan my vaccination QR code. I have several times tried. Eyeaah with Iphone 13 the same App and have ZERO problems. WHY?
Which one do you refer to, CovPass?
No problems here for me, maybe delete and reinstall
CovPass and CovPass check. Both the same. In the moment when I need to scan the QR the apps crashes immediately. I gave them all the permissions manually. Reinstall. Now I need to use Corona Warn app. The oldest but the golden. So for me is the one and only that works with QR code scan.
here in belgium it works without any problem,
covid pass app and the scan app, on android 11 and android 12 beta also on Z Fold 3.

You gotta use the "Corona Warn App"
Does the same as CovPass and is also good to scan Luca QR Codes.
Works like a charm for me.
Install the older version of CovPass, 1.165.6 works.
