It never happens when it's been in my pocket - it's almost never in my pocket to begin with. It might have been on the wireless charger, on the coffee table, on my desk at work. It always gives me a specific message, if it's a reboot or too many failed attempts, etc. There seems to be no rhyme...

No, it happens whenever. After a reboot it say actually says "enter PIN after restart" (and it won't let me take a screenshot like the one above). This has nothing to do with a reboot.

The security policy is to randomly disable fingerprint unlock for no apparent reason a few times a day? Man, what an incredibly stupid policy.

Has anybody gotten this message (Galaxy S10+ with most recent update), which randomly and briefly disables the ability to unlock my phone with my fingerprint? There seems to be no rhyme nor reason to it - it happens two or three times a day, and happens at completely different times every day.

I don't get the three dots, but it does scroll through all of my sharing options as I swipe. The top row is suggestions for specific people, the bottom row is for apps.

Well what do you know, that worked! So simple if you know it, so impossible if you don't. Thanks! Now if I can only figure out how to get back the battery life that I enjoyed before this latest (disastrous) update. Even resetting my phone to factory settings hasn't helped. I would pay a large...

The latest update on my Galaxy 10+ seems to have broken so many things I loved about my phone. One that really bothers me is that almost all my sharing options seems to have disappeared. From the photo gallery, for example, I used to be able to scroll and see all kinds of options, like Outlook...

After a pretty beefy update a couple of weeks ago, my Galaxy S10+ is losing battery much more rapidly than it did previously, and it's taking right at 50% longer to charge, using a fast wireless charger. I'm not sure if there's an app that's causing the drain, but I'm guessing it's something...

I don't.

That would make sense if it hadn't happened 3 nights in a row. And it's not just once, it's every time I unlock my phone, until the next morning. It seems to kick in around 7 p.m. my time.

Nope, I have to use my PIN until the next morning

Somehow I managed to alter a security setting of some sort, making it impossible for me to use my fingerprint to unlock my phone. Oddly, it only seems to happen at night. I can use my fingerprint all day, but for some reason it does this in the evening. Does anybody know how I can get rid of this?

I've been using the Google Chat app on a Galaxy S10+ for several months. It's been quirky, but the bugs have always resolved themselves at some point. For the last three weeks or so, with one recipient specifically, my outgoing texts never get past the "delivered" message, even after she's read...

And after 5 days of "chat not supported by your carrier", phone went back to "trying to verify number" for 2 days. And now back to connected and working fine. For now. I'm surprised Google puts their name on something so clunky.

Agree 100%. My first smart phone was a Palm Pre, and the possibilities of customizing it were literally endless. They actively encouraged 3rd-party "patches" to customize it. It's probably why I'll never be comfortable with Apple.

Hit or miss is how I describe the entire Android experience. Be it updates, software compatibility, etc. you just never know what you're going to get. And so much of it doesn't even seem to make any logical sense. I dabbled with Apple for a few months, and as much as there was that I hated about...

After watching my phone "trying to verify" my number for a week (S10+ on At&T), my phone updated this morning. And now it's telling me chat isn't available on my carrier. Sweet!

About a week ago, my Google Chat quit working. It had happened before, and I was always able to immediately get it turned back on. This time it didn't ever get past the "trying to verify number" stage. This morning, my S10+ updated, and now I'm getting the "not available for your carrier"...

I don't. I only have one phone.

I'm having the same issue on my Galaxy 10+. I've been using chat for about a month and a half. This is the third time I've noticed that my texts started going through as SMS for no apparent reason. It'll work just fine for weeks, then revert. I've never had a problem enabling chat after an...
