Hi
I ordered Le Max 2 few days ago from Aliexpress(Trendresources LTD). However, I got concerned, after I read on xda and le forum about it problems with fp sensor. Could you tell me, is fingerprint sensor a software issue or unfortunately hardware and it can be fixed only by replacing dead sensor?
First of all, wait until your phone arrives and then we can talk.
Mine came with the fp sensor not working. I managed to make it work by flashing stock rom. First receive it and see how it is. Already the latest firmware 016s has huge improvements in fp recognition, so I believe it will improve even more.
When I first got my phone, I was so disappointed by the fp senor and not having Ota, but after updating to 5.8, all was solved.
Can't really complain. The phone is so fast and responsive.
Ok, thanks for help guys. I really appreciate that.
Fingerprint not working
I too receive the phone yesterday unable to register fingerprint, in the FP setup page it is not taking any input after touching the sensor. iam too confused requested for a replacement from the vendor, whether flashing stock rom (iam on 16s) will solve the issue.
please reply iam going nuts.
youtube link of mine trying to register FP setup is here

As I have mentioned above, flash the stock ROM and you will see it will work.

you are correct.
flashed the stock rom. I have clicked the update.zip in file manager and selected update option, it took around 20 minutes and after that I tried to add FP but no use, same thing repeated, I think its a hardware issue. any way to diagnose the FP using any software or app?

Reboot into recovery, select also clear data... and press Update and reflash. When you boot into system, before you put any fingerprints, select "Calibrate fingerprint sensor".
I tried to update from recovery but I got a weird error saying 'unable to update, cause: apk not found' I searched google but nothing found. Is the update.zip file case sensitive. I renamed it to 'update.zip' not 'Update.zip'. is it OK.
One more thing after update I tried to skip the WiFi connection but this popped up
image
and I am not able to skip the WiFi connection. Letv is going in apple way
I also calibrated before touching the FPScanner but no use.
same for me.
the sensor does not work or more.
I have a 2 lemax x822.
the sensor works two days with the Roma CM13 19s, and then the third day nothing.
I returned to stock rom 17s, but it still did not work.
I passed the fourth day in the 19s CM13 ROM, and miracle, it works.
but alas today he no longer works again. impossible to calibrate and add a fingerprint.
I try Roma umbrella corps 18s / 19s, but the sensor does not work either.
it gets annoying.
problem of software or hardware?

I have the same problem. This problem of hardware.
@bahuy2003 thank you for the answer.
it's a shame to have problems with such a good phone equipment rating. especially when it is new for 5 days.
I will have to assert the warranty on the spemall.com site.
hoping that not too long to repair it and well repaired.
I use my max2 without fingerprints. Many people sent their mobiles to warranty, but they were waiting for months for them.
I too having fp problem, anyone have solution please tell.
I too have same problem moreover camera continuously clicking picture.

Must be at least partially software
I've tried stock ROMs and am currently running the pseudo CM based on a stock 18 kernel.
Finger print unlock isn't consistent: Sometimes the phone doesn't react for a long time (seconds), sometimes unlock is instantaneous.
Proper training is certainly important to get instantenous responses at all (don't move fingers during training, tap and wait for the vibration confirmation).
Sometimes I resort to clicking the power button and then do a finger-print to unlock, sometimes I just use the pattern to unlock, although that's very rare.
However last night I had a strange experience:
The phone was suddenly receiving fake inputs from the soft buttons, switching between applications without me touching anything and eventually all soft buttons went dead. Touch screen was still perfect, but finger print unlock was also dead, had to use the unlock pattern.
After a reboot (cold) everything was back to normal.
Whatever firmware is running to deal with the fingerprint sensor and the soft buttons (I assume this isn't running on the main cores), seems to be buggy, perhaps leaking memory and requires a restart occasionally.
My guess is that this would take automated testing to fix and I doubt Le Eco is doing that. Actually I guess the code would actually have to come from the hardware vendor for the fingerprint sensor and perhaps Le Eco doesn't have a current version.
Really professional quality is hard to get these days, even in flagship devices costing four times as much as Le Max 2.

Hi All
Any one facing proximity issues here , i saw so many peoples reported in mi forums that when we make a call screen blacks out when we moved to ears( Thats normal) and won't turn back again , so i have to wait the other side person to hangup the call or screen won't turn on power button does work that time, i think this only affects with Sensortek stk3x1x sensor, Redmi note 3 pro comes with two proximity sensors one is from Liteon and other is Sensortek.... Liteon sensors doesn't have this issue, for temporary fix "Wipe proximity area with a cloth or reboot fixes this and it comes back after sometime....( Calibrated but same it works for sometime) no idea wats causing this , issues there in Miui and CM roms....
I found sometimes a flip case with a magnet can cause issues like this when folded right back against the back of the phone, the screen won't come back on because it thinks the flip case is closed.

yeah but i don't have flipcase, this sensor issues starts with those have "Sensortek Proximity Sensor" Liteon doesn't have issue i think....
Flash the rom again using mi flash tool u will find that yr issue will be solved
Or go to test mode amd calibrate the sensor... that's all
Fastboot flash persist persist.img from latest miui rom? I recently had a problem with sensors. The above cured all
@Hemphiz i think that method for dead sensors bro, this one working sometimes it doesn't mostly if we flash a new rom and use no issues but if we reboot the phone after sometime issue starts.... @ra.one i did that bro flashmiui and recalibrate sensor but that works for temporary please check which sensors you got from this app from playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.androidsensorbox
if you got Liteon Sensors mostly no issues with proximity, if u got Sensortek u will be having issues or once u got issue it will come back..... im not sure why is causing that..... this is really very annoying bug.... Thousands of people reported in Mi forums about these proximity issues on various devices even on newly launched Redmi 3s/ prime may be they have all got "Sensortek Proximity Sensors".......
This is not a bug, You can disable Prevent Pocket dials under Settings-->Lock screen-->Prevent pocket dials...
I had this since last miui 6.9.9 flash.
Disabled prevent Pocket dials and All is working fine
Edit: for a few hours it was working.
Now its the same again. Phone blacked Out After a call and wont turn on, After a few seconds its coming back. As i said , since flashing new 6.9.9

like i said it may be mostly an issue with Sensortek proximity, can u check which sensors u got from this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...droidsensorbox
I have sensortec.
But i think its Software related.
Its since last Update.
I calibrate the Sensor and the issue with calls is still there.
Sensor Works fine, test is okay.

Yes i think its software related but, one trick works clean flash the same rom and use it for a week without any reboot...... (DO CLEAN FLASH and Dont reboot the phone)
don't need to calibrate.... for me when i install new rom and use it for a week no issues , if i reboot the phone the issue starts after sometimes.... i don't knw wats causing it so many peoples with sensortek having issues and this bug is not resolved from Miui 7 to Now Miui 8 MM, the issue there in Custom roms im using RR rom i have issues....
Guys For those having issues Check which sensor you got from this app, if u have proximity issues while calling its mostly "Sensortek"

I also have exact same issue and i have sensortek sensor. But i can unlock the screen while on a call by pressing power button and then unlocking with fingerprint. Bit annoying

So its confirmed its an issue with Sensortek Sensor, no Liteon users reported here, like i told flash the same rom which you are in (clean flash) and don't reboot phone for a week there will be no issues it works perfectly, if u reboot a phone once the issue starts again after sometime so after reboot something is going on no idea what....
i am using this app(for rooted users) on official RR and it works fine

even me used, but i don't think its properly working..... this issue starts only after a reboot, when u flash new roms and after boot dont reboot or power off the phone for a week, not needed any apps, proximity will work properly but once u rebooted issue starts....
But this app's settings load every time phone boots up.so it will work after every boot.
press thanks if I helped u in any way

yes this app i tested earlier, but after sometimes may be in a day or two it won't work....
Found another related issue with proximity , i think proximity is not working properly when there is not enough light around us something related with ambient light sensor i think ..... Eg: if we are in a dark room proximity won't work correctly turn on the light and try it works properly.... i think Xiaomi messed up with something with both sensors Liteon and Sensortek thats why Liteon users face Gyroscope lag in games in dark room and now i think may be the same reason why proximity not working properly in dark room....
hello. I have the BUG but my phone has sensortek version 1 (not 2)
When in a call the screen wont turn off when placing the phone at my ears. With whatsapp the bug wont happend.
I think this is a BUG related to sensor + phone app
A functional workarround is to dial, then press menu (putting the call at background) and then putting the call at foreground again. It works 100% of the time.
Any news? I have this annoying problem too!
I've been seeking help over most big android forums, and I can't seem to get anymore help other than that, and it's utterly annoying.
So I got a redmi 5 plus over in my country which is Malaysia, and it has a unlocked bootloader, and the box that came with it is in Chinese, so I can only assume it's a imported device. And it's fine in the few weeks, after 3 weeks, my screen started to lose control. I can see the screen showing the image, but I can't make any touches on the device and it won't respond, and the only way to fix this is by locking the screen and unlocking it again. And it won't permanently solve the problem as well. It still occurs randomly between uses, and sometimes it just loses control with everything flashing on screen (emulated touches I assume), and I can't control it until I lock the screen and unlock it again. And I've tried disassembled it and reconnecting the screen ribbon cable and it still occurs. Any method of fixing it for good, it's been messing with my gameplay or normal usage and it's really annoying. Thanks for any help in advance.

I have the same problem and its now frequently happening. It pisses me off, specially when Im in a Moba Game..
Anyone fixes this issue? please share
Went further from inital stable stock rom (nougat) until stable 9.6.5 (oreo), same touchsreen issue still exist
Like @cyrusextra said, it affected to mobile gaming experience. I'm a FPS gamer and this problem is totally messed up
Any fix?
Any solution to this problem?
So I've tried everything I can think of, without voiding warranty, to fix this.
One day the phone was turned on and the fingerprint sensor didn't work. Fine, but checking the settings, it was gone there too! There were some residual settings like the "suggestions" for "Screen Lock" that suggested "unlock with your fingerprint". However, clicking that immediately returns me to settings. It's like the fingerprint sensor and settings have vanished.
Now, I've tried factory resets. I've even reinstalled the current firmware, but nothing seems to be working...

Hi, did you solve the issue? Same thing happened to me. Was it a hardware or software issue?
After applying the last Software Update on my Huawei mate 10 pro the fingerprint sensor started to work randomly. Sometimes it works and then it does not. I do not think it is a matter of hardware otherwise it wouldn't work at all. What can I do to solve the problem?

Id take it to the service center and have them take a look at it .... Hopefully both replace the sensor and flash the proven working os to the board. With the latest updates I lost the game boost app in the same way that you are describing loss of the f sensor. It dissapeared from system all together, not frozen , not disabled , just gone and all reference to it removed from settings. I flashed couple firmwares since then trying to both downgrade and fix it but no matter what version I was on it never returned lol. It died on 6th/7th flash - hard brick and Im picking it 2morrow from service . All in all , since 9.0 , 9.1 certain issues I had there seemed to follow through every subsequent firmware update. If it doesnt work now it prolly will be bugged in the future as well by that logic. My erecovery was also broken ( Everything works but it never can find firmware to download ) when I started and just like gpu boost it never returned . When I gave them phone under warranty few times back they basically replaced whatever I complained about , back cover, display , battery , charging port , headphone adapters all free of charge
Huawei Mate 10 Pro Fingerprint is not working after EMUI 10.0 Update
My FINGERPRINT ID is not working after the Software Update to EMUI 10.0. Now I cannot unlock my phone using fingerprint. Fingerprint menu too is missing in the Biometrics & Passwords menu of Settings. My fingerprints have vanished from my phone together with the option to input new fingerprints. When I go to the SETTINGS menu, I see nothing related to FINGERPRINTS. In other words, FINGERPRINT ID is not a method of unlocking my phone according to the SETTINGS.
I downgraded the phone to EMUI 9.1, but nothing changed. So, again I updated the software to EMUI 10.0. I cannot understand why this is happening so. It is Huawei. World's No. 2 phone manufacturer trying hard to be the No. 1. World's largest communication equipment manufacturer. It is a shame. It is a total failure of HUAWEI. I handed over the phone to the Huawei Service Centre in Sri Lanka. For two days, they are "STILL CHECKING".
Problems happen! With all the brands!
Me and many others updated to EMUI 10 without any problems.
When I update to other Android OS version, I always do a factory reset, just to avoid any possible problems.

Might be a coincidence, or not. Maybe something in the flash process went wrong.

Yes, it may be a coincidence or may be something gone wrong in the flash process. But the problem is that this has happened to many other people through out the world. Also, many people complain about various other problems after the software update. That means Huawei has failed to provide their customers an accurate and safe process to update their software. It is a serious failure from the part of Huawei, the second largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world.
The finger print problem solved in my Mate 10 pro
100 % its software problem after android 10 update am reset all setting twice and now the finger print work with out any problems
Happened to mine as well.
Decided to update over weekend and fingerprint id has vanished from settings.
Tried to reset several times but no luck.
Hi guys,
Kind of new to pocophone but I'm experiencing something really strange that I haven't on any other phone I've had before. Here's the background..
I bought the phone as a gift for my mum and she absolutely loves it but she's told me the phone will randomly make a call itself. I didn't believe it until I saw it happen. She can be on the phone (having made or received a call legitimately) and the call will automatically be put on hold waiting for her to answer a call from another person. The issue is, that person hasn't called her so when she calls back, the person is confused. This can also happen when she isn't on the phone
I checked her call waiting options (turned off and on, neither makes a difference) and reset the phone to factory settings but still getting the same issue. We haven't set up Google assistant or anything similar so the calls wouldn't have been made my a voice command either.
It's really strange and I've looked on the Internet but can't find anything reported on it. The phone is running miui 10 and she is on virgin mobile. The phone is less than 2 weeks old.
Any help is much appreciated.
Vik
Haven't faced something similar. If I were in your shoes, I would 1. Factory reset everything, 2. flashed latest global stable miui ROM and 3. checked again if the same problem persists.

Thanks @melodystyle2003. I've tried a factory reset on the phone. When the phone does a factory reset, would that not install the latest stable miui ROM? It installed miui 10 and when I checked for updates on the phone, it informed me that there were no more updates available
I think the problem is, proximity sensor. This used to happen to older family member.

This is the latest stable version.
Install the google dialer, and force stop the default one. Also, try switching your network connection, like if it's on 3G, shift it to 2G or vice versa, for some time.
And if proximity sensor is the cause (as mentioned by another fellow member), you can check the sensor wake up time through BBS or similar app. Proximity sensor does appear in the sesnor column of BBS app. And going through the wakelock's data, you might also be able to detect any other possible cause.
Have you tried switching off the 'redial automatically' option in the dialer options? That seems to be your problem.

It's not the hardware fault. Old people tends to keep the phone slight upwards while speaking, the proximity sensor wakes the screen and by accidentally registers the touch. This usually happens and the accidentally put the call on hold, accepts the second call or the add new call. You can try using the phone for a day.
Old thread, but just wanted to add that we have the same issue with a Pocophone we use at work. When you put away the phone after a call, then at random times it calls the last person you talked to before the current call. Does it about 1 out of 40 calls and is 100% a phone firmware issue, not some old lady holding her phone wrong.
Hi, I got my Mi 3 this week. I noticed some weird behavior from my magnetometer and Accelerometer, wondering if anybody else is experiencing the same. After a day of use, sensors go haywire and suddenly stop reporting data. Can't use compass and my auto rotate stops working. I tried different apps to see if it's a global problem or just a not compatible app, so far when sensors go blank, the effect is global. Even the Mi self test is not reading anything from the sensors. Pedometer is on the other hand operational tho.
Things come back to normal after a restart. I suspect it must be a software bug maybe?

Dial *#*#6484#*#* it's the built-in test. U can recalibrate your accelerometer there and also test the device. Use power button to exit. And for +-45 test's of the accelerometer tilt your device on it's corners.

By the way, you are using European firmware or Global, because for me the pedometer isn't counting the steps :/

By the way, you are using European firmware or Global, because for me the pedometer isn't counting the steps :/

I'm glad to hear it worked for you. My pedometer comes and goes... Not reliable unfortunately. btw how can I check my ROM region? Got the October patch, It doesn't solve the bug...
I also have problems with my vibrator. It doesn't react to short vibrations (that much I can make out of it).

Well I seem to have the global version. MIXM
I hope they get problems solved fast.
If anybody else with the device is reading this post, can you please check your sensors with an appropriate app and see if yours is also malfunctioning randomly?
I had this problem, but I just restarted the device and everything came back normal

Yes! It goes away with restarting (and sometimes doesn't!!!)
But it's just a temporary fix, in matter of hours, you r back to the square one.

Go to Accessibility settings and turn on Touch Vibration. Keeping it off also hinders the in call volume function. Hope it helps

Well yeah, it did work actually. But the thing is, I don't like to have the touch vibrations on always, I just want it to work with G-board and some other apps that use short vibrations as a feedback...
It's like the touch vibrations setting, controls everything lol.
It's definitely a bug they have to get fixed.
So it turns out the sensor problem that I reported is being caused by the G-cam port I had installed. The solution is to close the app (in the multitasking menu !?) Whenever you are done using it.
Flash the stock rom again and your problem will be solved for sure, also faced the same issue.
I have same issue and flash stock rom but still not working how can i fix it ?
I also have a problem with compass apps. north and south are correct shown, west and east are not correct.
