So I recently bought two Le Max 2 X829's from Banggood for $196 each and didn't find out about the fingerprint sensor problem until after... I haven't received them yet, but I would like to know what solutions have you guys been offered when you contact your sellers.
I haven't had any problems with Banggood or their customer service. When something I buy is defective, I just email them directly, with a description of the defect, pictures and a YouTube video too if possible, and I make sure to tell them that I have already troubleshooted, checked the forums, and tell them that the defect is common so that they don't give me the run around. They usually go straight to offering me replacement parts for free, or a partial refund if the device still "works" and can be fixed by me, or simply a return label if I insist that I want to return it.
Chime in...
Nothings, its too expenisve to send it back to China. I just resell them here in the Netherlands, you will easily get your money back.
its a software issue, if u change the rom it gonna work good!
if u want the stock the 23s Chinese ROM and 19s Indian ROM are the best....
but theres are more roms that can help you with that!
Read in the ROMs Forum!

Dont respond if you dont know what you are talking about. Its a hardware issue!. Software can only fix it temporarily or kick it back into life sometimes.

Why don't you just stop talking about things you don't know anything about!?! I guess you haven't read only one post in fingerprint issue thread. Otherwise you wouldn't write something like this.
Just search for my posts inside the main fingerprint issue thread to get yourself some information about what you are claiming to know.

I've read through several of the threads and it was a massive waste of time. The forum for the Le Max 2 is pretty disorganized, there's very little moderation, and no consensus can be drawn as far as solving the fingerprint sensor problem is concerned. Just a bunch of inexperienced people rambling and contradicting each other.
I have plenty of experience and two Le Max 2's on the way, so I'll draw up some tests and make an objective observation when I receive them.
With the unorganized and inexperienced points you are absolutely right. That's why I give up on explaining to many people how to solve the problem. Me and my girlfriend are both running Le Max 2 with madmax rom for long time now. In the beginning my device had a totally dead fingerprint scanner. After some research, trying few settings and stuff I was able to break it down to Qualcomm drivers/firmware.
In German board we were able to get most of the phones FP running again. (Experienced users phones).
Nearly all devices with Dead FP's are running on old couco 92 rom.
If you're facing issues after receiving the phones flash another room ( stock Chinese or custom based stock from the forum) and try to follow the instructions i wrote in the fingerprint section...
That's said, my girlfriend and I have the x820 version.
Give it a shot and you will see the point of the problem and how to solve it...

I have x829 and changing roms, modems, unbrick method, haven't worked in bringing FP back to life. So it may be mixed, in my case seems like hardware issue.

Nope, i tried that but fp still not working.
I flash several rom from 16s to 20s cn, 23s cn and 19s india, also 3 cusrom such rr. On each rom i tried to flash several modem firmware, 16s usa, 19s india, 23s cn and finaly latest dev version from yadi.sk/xxxxx..
So i guess you just lucky.. ?
On my case fp work only several hour since unboxing. Now it cant recognize any fp when i tried to register it. But the weird part is sometime it kinda work for taking pictures using camera. I said kinda because it works 50% of the time, when working i touch once but the camera is taking 4 or 5 pictures.

Oh forgot, i bought this problematic x829 4/64 phone on banggood. I already mail them, they only offer me to resend it back and full refund. But that too expensive, i must pay for shipping back to china plus i already paid 60 usd for duty and tax when i got it.
Fyi i already bought several x820 and 1pcs x829 6/128 from aliexpress, all working great. another x829 6/128 coming this week from aliexpress, i hope it doesnt defective like this one.
It is HW related issue for sure,i tried all of fixes laying around,nothing help...X829 4/64 from banggood

I flashed the Indian 19s firmware last night and the finger print scanner is working back now, though it is a bit slow (not as fast as Redmi Note 3 ), but it works 100% of the times. The only thing abnormal I have done is that I have scanned my finger twice ( same finger).
Previously I tried all tricks with LOS and Mokee and could not get the Finger Print scanner to work.

The problem i had before was that the FP sensor did not respond when trying to unlock i.e. looks like it was OFF. Previously even if you left the finger on the sensor for 10 seconds i did not react at all. The only cases when the FP reader worked was immediately after locking. Also the sensor did not have any problem adding fingerprints.

Hi guys,
I'm planning of buying a Le max 2 but the fingerprint sensor issue is a problem..
I'd like to know if it might affect more x820/821 than x822 that seems to be out a bit later and might get fixed?
Hope. You can help me this phone seems awesome!
No Problems on Revolution Rom. Works flawless

Hello there is a serious problem if you do need touch sensor. For me eg it is bad to unlock phone after 1 minute if you are at home. There is somehow probable you will buy the phone and it will fail.Some guys who bought it on Ali received about 30USD for the failed touch sensor.

I've read that kind of things...
But my real concern is to know if x822 is as much affected as x820
Someone said to use the same finger 3 times instead of 3 different fingers. Try it.
Me with 822 and my fingerprint sensor is totally dead
I think that the x822 is the version which has more problems with the fingerprint, cause the fingerprint on my 822 is totally dead.
fingerprint issues are very often software problems, not hardware related.
My fingerprint sensor didn't work with several roms. After switching to 21s everything is o.k.
My is dead with 21s..i put 15s,16s and all roms in this forum but nothing to do..
On my x822 sensor also dead. Worked for 1 day on Indian rom 19s.
For the rest phone is really good.
I read in one forum that flashing 15s someone have reabilitate the fingerprint. I don t know if it s only a software problem..
on my X821 it's working fine. no instant unlock, but maybe 1 second
Mine is working well on stock 21s
I have x822 and fingerprint works very well with this rom

It is a great deal, actually i do recommend you to not buy the x822 i have checked several comments and i determined that is the version which has more issues withe fingerprint, including mine which is a x822.
However maybe i am wrong, please feel free to ket me know if i am
My first X822 FP was dead after a day. The replacement unit's FP only lasted for a few hours. Manufacture date for both units are July, 2016. I strongly believe this batch of units are all defective. If you read the Chinese forum, there are many units with defective FPs bought recently on 11/11/16 (the big sale in China).
Unfortunately, I bought it from Hong Kong while I was on vacation, so I cannot return it or have it replaced. I have to live with it. Other than the FP issue, it's a great phone for the price.

Mine just stopped working now.. i hit 'calibrate fingerprints' and then it just stopped registering fingerprints. Do I really have to do a factory reset?
I don't think that it's dead. A workaround is playing around with different ROMs. I made a Nandroid backup of my working system (CM13) and startet playing around with different ROMs. Flashing 5.8.016S CUOCO92 solved the problem for me, so this should be a good starting point. If it doesn't work you can try other (EUI) versions (new installation, no dirty flash). Once your sensor is working you can restore your Nandroid Backup and the sensor should be still working.
It worked when i pressed it really hard during fingerprint identification, but not after the first time. And it was really slow. I fixed it by calibrating the fingerprint sensor multiple times until it started working, for a total of about 8-10 times. Try this if it happens! And by the way I'm on Cuoco92 5.9.020s and it unlocks in about 0.2s. The best thing to do is to register the fingers you use in different angles (straight and 90° for me), that way it has no issues of identifying it.
The fingerprint is not problem calibrate is Dead

Now that's some next level bull****,there's definitely a hardware flaw and they're not ready to admit it
Heyyo, have you tried flashing the latest modem firmware? It helps with the fingerprint sensor a lot, especially on custom ROMs. Modem firmware also affects other hardware. Fixed the FP for my x829 using Chinese 23s firmware.

I already contact banggood for this flawed product, they ask me to send it back and refund. But if i do this i lost lots of money because i pay 60 usd duty and tax when i get this.
Plus i must pay th shipping back to their warehouse..
Suck..

Hi all! So none of the ROMs here can fix the FP problem? I just got the phone not more than a week from Gearbest, then the FP just stop functioning all of the sudden. It can't even respond for the camera shutter
However, many thanks to those who posted excellent tutorials here. I just succesfully installed TWRP, but doesn't have any clue which ROMs might be the best bet to get the FP working again. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
I got my Le Max2 3 month ago. The FP was dead the second day after I receive it. Feel very bad about it. Tried many ROMs and modems, none of them work. This week, I tried the new Small EUI V15 with 26S ROM, the FP magically comes alive again. If you installed TWRP, it is good to the 26S rom to revive the dead FP.
the only rom that worked for me is RR

If sensor is totally dead only solution is to order a new one and replacing it.

Based on randomness, I think FP is revived due to timing. I think you can flash any rom to revive it. Just that you need to keep flashing until it works
No it's Firmware related. I tried so many Roms until i read that CN fw s26 would fix IT and it did.
Hi all! Thanks for all the replies and advices in this thread. Just want to give you an update on my situation, where I just installed Aurel small EUI rom 15.1. Unfortunately, my fp still doesn't work
But, Aurel's rom is much better than the stock vendor rom that came preinstalled (BIG thanks to Aurel!!)

Where did you get CN 26 I only see CN 23s could you give me a link
Sorry my fault, it hast been s16
Mine just sprung back to life. I decided to try calibrating again just as I was reading this post. I calibrated it about 12 times, then restarted the phone. After that, I could register my fp again.
When it stopped working more than two months ago, I almost ordered the sensor, because I read here that it was definitely the problem, but then someone else said he could take pics by tapping the fp sensor. When I tried that, it worked. So, I concluded it was a software issue. I've been trying other stuff without success since it stopped working, but luckily, it worked today.
N.B.
I was on 23s when it stopped working. I flashed 26s immediately, and the other firmware someone uploaded, but there was no joy. However, I did a reset yesterday, and flashed back to 23s. I don't know if that actually helped.

Hey
I got my x829 a week ago and was super excited for this awesome value phone...But from the very start it randomly rebooted with the stock EUI 5.8.016s (been told its US version)
I was very sad since Geekbuying offers no support, now i tried my luck with the "Small EUI 7.1" Custom rom as i hoped this would resolve my issue, to my disappointment it has not, and it still randomly restarts out of nowhere when just laying idle on the table.
Does anyone have a clue what could be the cause and how to fix it?
As mentioned it been there from the very first time i booted the phone, i havnt even at any point inserted a Sim card or SD card as its pretty much useless like it is now.
It gets luke warm to the touch but nothing major that i would think would cause this, also i installed Deadtrigger and played for 30 minutes with no issues...Seems only to reboot when in idle and locked.
Hope you guys have some ideas because right now i have a 200 dollar brick...
I now did a completely clean flash of Resurection Remix rom and the issue is still there, sometimes just turns off and you have to hold in power button for 10 seconds for it to boot up again, other times it simply reboots.
Once its boots and i use the phone it works just fine, i have yet to see it randomly reboot/power off when im playing a game or actively using it, but as soon as it sits idle it goes wrong.
Im thinking it might be doze mode related but not quite sure.
Noone else experiencing these issues?
Im slowly going insane, yesterday the phone trolled me and decided work fine for 8 hours straight (even laying idle on the table), only to start randomly rebooting again.....i used it for quite some time yesterday confirmed that it works perfectly fine under heavy loads.
But every time i stop using it, put it on a desk or in my pocket so that it goes into idle and the screen powers off, then after 2-10min it begins to reboot for no apparent reason.
Im out of idea's i tried some diffrent power profiles in the RR rom, it works fine under heavy load with no power connected so the battery should work perfect i have no clue what could be the issue....
If anyone have any ideas i would welcome them....
Can't you email the guys from Geekbuying and tell them about this problem that you're having? Seems like some serious issue that you're facing over there. Try to contact them and tell them what is wrong. In the beginning they will ask you to install a stock ROM.
I've had a similar problem with my phone, simply the fingerprint was not working upon receipt and my wife didn't know how to flash the ROM, so she had to wait for me to arrive home in order to check if the phone was working properly. After some email exchange, the guys from honorbuy.com were suggesting Stock ROM, buy I was lucky enough that the fp started to work after this. I am not sure that they would respect their 14-day return if I came home after more than 20 days from purchase.
At least you can try to contact them. It can be a motherboard issue but who knows...
Set your minimum Cpu frequency to a relative high value.
Do you have to unlock the phone by tipping the PIN of your SIM card after the random reboots? If so it could be a problem related to your SIM...
Normally if you inserts the SIM card while a Android device is powered on and running, the phone is going to reboot and you have to tipe the PIN. I know about many phones that are having problems with specific SIM cards. And our Le Max 2 is one of those. The most reported issues are totally killed cards for example. But random reboots are also a common problem. I don't want to go more into details, cause it's a stand alone story.
So you can check if the device will perform normal and without rebooting by using it without a inserted SIM card.
If you're not facing any problems then you can simply try another SIM ...
Here in Germany are hundreds of people who are getting frustrated because of this kind of problem. Older cards getting killed by newer phones (especially when the phone is a so called China phone). For example combination of xiaomi mi 5/5s and T-Mobile Germany seems to be a problem.
Indeed sim cards can reboot phones, if we're you I'd install another Rom , with full data wipe (very important). Remove sin card in the night and check if phone is ok in the morning, use 3c toolbox app to check error logs (root required)
Like unrafa said, remove Sim card over night and let the app do it's job.
I'm also using 3c toolbox for many years now. It's the best all in one app when it comes to failure and issue tracking!
?
Hey thanks for all the replies
I have never had a sim card inserted, i tried to put one in yesterday to see if it might solve the issue, but it didnt.
I booted into TWRP and waited for the screen to time out so it went into idle, there it behaves just fine when the screen is turned off, but i think TWRP doesnt force a "idle" state because i noticed the battery went from 80-5% with the screen off in about 9 hours.
I did think about the CPU freq myself but im thinking its about the minimum voltage maybe, setting the freq higher i cant see should fix anything, speaking from my experience with undervolting/overclocking computers im guessing the current minimum cpu freq isnt stable at the voltage its getting.
However i have never done any undervolting/overclocking on phones, how do i go about doing it in an easy way?
I will try install 3c toolbox and see if i get any useful info, should come pretty fast as it most of the time happens within 2-5 minutes of the phone being idle.
It is a known bug with the x829 variant aka the canceled US variant. I have experienced it with my prototype x829 since I got it for doing beta testing for LeEco. It happens less often on MIUI and AOSP/lineage based roms. X829 will never be officially launched all of its inventory was dumped on to Indian and Chinese sites.

It is a known bug with the x829 variant aka the canceled US variant. I have experienced it with my prototype x829 since I got it for doing beta testing for LeEco. It happens less often on MIUI and AOSP/lineage based roms. X829 will never be officially launched all of its inventory was dumped on to Indian and Chinese sites.

Can you disclose any official document regarding this? My X829 is arriving tomorrow, I hope I'll be lucky not to have this problem, but if it happens I'd want a solid ground for refund claim.
Thanks!

Actually, it doesn't. From a hardware perspective, the X829 firmware pulled from one of those beta devices works fine on the other model name variants. I've run it for a while on my X820, and never experienced a random reboot.
It's also not beyond the realm of possibility that LeEco took a lead off base and had a metric ton of cnc'd aluminum shells and packaging made, printed with the X829 name and US applicable FCC information, and later scrapped the idea in favor of a new, US only model. And, rather than recycle the finished parts for the value of the base metal, slapped them together with possibly sub-par internals (i.e. finished circuit boards which proved during QC to not be 100% reliable) and dumped the result at very low prices into the Chinese re-seller market, where they happily flashed them with the older, leaked X829 firmware to make them attractive to frugal US buyers. Come to your own conclusions, but consider the lower price tag of the models sold as X829's, which are not supported by LeEco USA, and ask yourself how this model came to be.
Does anyone have any definitive knowledge of specific hardware differences between these models, or is it still in the realm of assumption and "urban legend"?
Well i sure hope thats not true, i installed 3C now and turned on the event monitoring, waiting for it to reboot again.
Speaking og this topic, check this screenshot, i found it bit weird my phone score that much lower than a real x820.
My device identifies as x820 on the left because og the RR rom.

Im guessing this big a difference isnt because of a poorly optimized rom.
My x829 that I got from Banggood on Monday hasn't rebooted on me once, the fp sensor works fine, and I've had no negative issues with it at all actually.
I'm just super confused about whether it's flashable or not, and what ROMs have a functioning camera!

Resurrection remix rom works perfectly fine except my little problem, but i had that with stock rom aswell.
Small update, after installing 3C and turning on the recording it has not rebooted, i wonder if the recording prevents it from 100% idle state thus solving the problem.
If anything its a good temporary solution and i guess proves its not hardware related :/
This is the longest its gone without reboot in idle (about 13 hours and counting), i will shut it down and insert a simcard + turn on recording and see what happens now.

Maybe, maybe not. Sounds like it could be a power management issue, which may well be hardware related. With the logger running, it may never try to go into deep sleep.
The performance numbers are pretty poor as well. I'd give a clean install of AOKP MM a shot and see what you get with that ROM. My X820 scores well above the recorded Antutu score for X820 with that one installed.

You refering to the brand new AOKP Rom posted 2-3 days ago or you thinking about another one? please link the one you have in mind and i will give it a try.
Ye my scores a total **** compared to the "normal" version, not sure whats going on, inb4 china spoofed fake chip...
So, I just went through the process of replacing my FP scanner with one I bought on aliexpress. I presently have AOSPEx 8.1 loaded, and it's not detecting anything.
Has anyone done this process before? Do I have to load a particular modem or reload EUI to get the scanner to work, provided I've done my part correctly?
Also - do people give a damn about seeing this? I took photos as I did my work, along with some notes. Sadly, I do not have the equipment to film it in English, but I'd be happy to type up a guide/my experiences doing this repair.
Heyyo, hmm hopefully someone can guide you as I'm not familiar with this process. I can ask on Telegram if there is someone that can reply to this thread.
Lee on our x2 Telegram group said this
Lee:
if error occurs something like "theres no fp hw" or "fp hw initialization failed"
then it sounds like its a hw prob(contact, ribon cable(fpcb), or connector is fked up), which sucks
at least hv to open up the phone to solve
I saw some cases this happened(on other phones)
if not, then trying fp scanner calibration on eui might help
when my fp scanner doesnt work properly or response at all, that worked for me

Yea, I just had to load the original firmware/an EUI rom. Seems like it needs a 1 off calibration before you can use it as you please. Now back on AOSPEx and it works like a charm.
Awesome! Glad to hear it's all working good again :good:
