    Samsung Direct: Galaxy S9/S9+ Official Pre-Order Thread

    I recived my S9+ from samsung today and swapped my verizon sim in it without issue. The phone works perfectly with all features except wifi calling (sorry dont use VVM as I use Google Voice for voicemail). The phone supports VoLTE and has a setting to turn that on and off. The phone also...

    Help - can't unlock with fingerprint after update on 5/7/16

    No, he changed my pattern to a pin and then went into apps > fingerprints and cleared all app data. He then messed with my launcher a bit but I lost him after that. I did not have to rebuild my fingerprints so wiping the app data does not include those.

    Help - can't unlock with fingerprint after update on 5/7/16

    Thanks Thiscrapsucks! So out of frustration I pinged Samsung through their Chat app. They have an app they have you download and they can remote into your phone. He fixed it. Works perfect now. I caught about half of what he did and the other part I was in a meeting and just watching when he...

    Samsung GS7edge - Verizon Users Thread

    Anyone else having an issue when they try to unlock the phone with a fingerprint it asks for pattern or pin half the time now? This started after the May update for me. Has nothing to do with launchers or apps.

    FIngerprint reader works fine and this issue is not a hardware issue. You are on Verizon? You installed the May update? Your phone is not prompting you for a pin, password, or pattern half the time now when unlocking your phone?

    Yes on the password at reboot and after. Well seasoned android user here ;). Yea, Verizon pushed out an update this week that messed the fingerprint reader up. Only works about half the time on unlock, otherwise you need to do pin or pattern. So stupid! Don't see the point in fingerprint...

    Appreciate the response. Not using any other method to lock other than Display Time out or the Power button. Followed your advice about cleaning the app and phone cache. Still having the issue. I called verizon earlier this morning and all she could do was note the complaint and she said they...

    S7 Edge - Verizon preorders

    After having a white phone I think all black phones look like black slabs. In the Verizon store I think the gold looks great but in real life, at a meeting on a table I dont think it would work for me. That leaves silver which I still think is quite handsome. They all were fingerprint magnets...
