All of a sudden my fingerprint scanner has stopped working. I'm on the stock rom with the most recent update. Has anyone else experienced this? And is there a fix for it. I can't change my lock to the pattern or anything else because it keeps asking for my fingerprint.

Check to see if your bootloader is set to locked

I'm not rooted or anything. So I'm not sure if that applies to me.

It should ask you for the password you entered right after logging your fingerprint for the very first time.
Might wanna try the password you set right after the fingerprint data.
If it does not work then go to bootloader and factory reset your phone.:fingers-crossed:

I am using a Atrix on Bell running greyblur on 2.1.1 and need to know if there is a way to use voice dialing while password locked.
I drive a lot and need bluetooth functionality but for privacy reasons I also need to keep it password locked.
So far while on the road I just leave my screen on so it doesn't lock but the battery just drains too fast.
Have anyone found a solution to this.
No one has encountered this problem?

Use the fingerprint scanner to unlock it.
I was kind of hoping for a way to let voice dialing get through without having to unlock.

Just as the title says... FP scanner doesn't work anymore. I'm on stock bell 2.2.2...
Tried restart, changed security type to number, pattern and none and back and nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions?

Not sure why that isn't selectable, but there is an app called No Lock you could try.

It looks like you have an app or something that is an admin on your phone and it prevents it from being selected

Have you set a password or pin or pattern security lock? If so, I would guess that you need to disable that first. It looks like those options are still accessible. Otherwise, I really don't know (never seen it before).
Good luck!

It looks like you have your phone encrypted.
Having your phone encrypted requires you to have a lockscreen, otherwise the encryption means nothing.
I didn't encrypt it though.... I'm wonder if it is an admin app what would do it. I'm going tosee if I can disable the lock
What would happen if I cleared credentials?

Does anyone knows if there are any app that can utilize the fingerprint scanner? I tried to search but only get all those "fake" scanner apps which just a prank to "emulate" the screen as a scanner.
It would be wonderful to be able to launch certain app via scan a finger "anytime when screen on!" (not only during unlock stage like now") or switch to previous activited app just by swiping of a finger...
I think the location of the scanner is perfect for those jobs.... Personally I would pay $10 for a app like I mentioned...
thats why most people are just disabling this fingerprint scanner; it is worthless, except during the unlocking of the phone..
