So I just took the plunge and bought the Atrix with the laptop dock today. While at the at&t store, I played with the laptop dock there. I was pleased to see that I could do 2 finger scrolling on the trackpad in the firefox browser.
However, once I got home and set up my own laptop dock, 2 finger scrolling didn't work! I looked everywhere for settings to change it, but to no avail. I called Motorola, and they were no help. I went back to the at&t store to try a different dock, but that one didn't have the 2 finger scrolling either. The only one that worked was the display model.
So my question is this: any of you who bought the laptop dock, does 2 finger scrolling work for you? Thanks!
UPDATE: I had one of the at&t employees contact the motorola rep for his store and get back to me when he had more info. He called me today and said the moto rep told him the display units for the stores are pre-production models, and our docks won't ever get 2 finger scrolling.
I'm hoping that someone with better hacking skills than I will be able to port some sort of scrolling driver for the touchpad in the future. For now, my usb mouse works fine I suppose...
I had the exact same experience. Saw two finger scrolling working on the display model and got home and mine doesn't work. I haven't called support yet, but, based on your experience, I probably won't. I wonder if the display models have had some sort of update pushed to them that we haven't seen yet??!

When I talked to the employees at the at&t store, they said that a motorola rep came in awhile ago to show them the laptop dock, and 2 finger scrolling worked on his too. They also said that the display model came about a week ago, before they got their shipment of stuff that was for sale. So it might actually be a pre-production unit on display, and for some reason (I can think of none) motorola decided to remove that functionality in their actual for-sale units!
An experiment that we should try is to take our Atrix into an ATT store and plug them into their netbook dock to see if 2 finger scrolling works or not.
If it does work, then that means the issue is probably hardware related (ie - there's something magic about the demo trackpads that turns on 2 finger scrolling).
If it does NOT work, then that means the issue is probably software related (ie - the stuff that is running on our Atrix) and it is probably just a matter of time till one of the guys here figures out how to enable it.

Oops! Forgot to mention I tried that too! 2 finger scrolling worked on the display dock with my atrix plugged in too.
Crap... that's not good....
I might go back tomorrow and see if I can get the display model from the store I was at...

Alas...I tried that too. It was my last hope! They said the display models are "serialized" meaning the company knows what is a display model and what's not. I think its dumb that they show 2 finger scrolling on the display models but when you buy it it's not there! I wonder how many complaints they'll get...
More specifically, I wonder if they'll get sued for false advertising. I mean.. I know it isn't a crucial feature, but, this is sort of a blatant case of it, isn't it?
I'm sure if enough people complain, they'll just swap out the display models with ones like ours. Then they'll claim it was like that all along. But you're right, as of now it does seem like blatant false advertising. There is clearly added functionality in the display models that are not in the ones for sale.
Another interesting note, lurking back through first impressions back at CES, some blogs touted 2 finger scrolling as a feature they liked on the laptop dock. Something must have happened between then and now that made moto change their mind
Same experience. At store..it worked. At home...it doesn't. This really seems like a hardware change. :-(
GAH
This is total crap. We paid really good money and went into the ATT store to play with the laptop dock. It has 2 finger scrolling but then we get home and it does not work. This is just frustrating because they lied to us. We shelled out our hard earned cash and they just lied to us. I really hope that they say that there is a web top update coming out soon. Everyone keep hitting the customer service and see if we can get one of them to say its different hardware or an update coming.
Congrats on making engadget!

thats not cool
I plugged my phone in at the AT and T store and scrolling worked, and on the dock that I just bought does not.
Although based on the fact that tethering also worked on the dock at the store and not on this one, the phone knows when it is in an AT and T dock and when it is in a retail dock. This means that there is a small possibility that it is not hardware.
Ｍine doesn't support multi-touch either. Also, mine can't even display Chinese / Japanese / Korean website. Even you can find the setting inside the firefox but totally useless. The built in font just can't display the characters correctly.
So it's crap laptop dock, uncompleted product. I will get iPad2 instead

It's all hardware, the current touchpad doesn't support multi-touch.
So I just picked up a GS4 VZW version late last week and overall it's been a good experience (coming from Droid X2) but for the life of me I cannot get outbound hands-free calling via Bluetooth to work properly. I think I narrowed down the problem to the S-View case being the culprit. I have a GOgroove Flexsmart X2 adapter in my car and with my previous phone it worked flawlessly. If my S-View case is closed, not matter what I do I cannot initiate an outbound hands-free call. I've tried S Voice and Google Now/Voice Search. I even disabled S Voice so Google Now/Voice Search would be the default. Incoming calls seem to work but outbound is a no-go. The only security I have set is "swipe to unlock" - no patterns or pins, etc. I've tried Car Mode both on and off and the result is the same with S Voice; Google Now/Voice Search is configured to use Bluetooth as well.
Can someone with an S-View case let me know if you are able to initiate an outbound call with the case closed? If so, I'd like to understand your settings to see if I can get it working and which voice app you are successfully using.
Also, has anyone tried Robin, the Siri Challenger with the GS4 (and the S-View case)? Is it as good as everyone says?
Thanks in advance for the help!
I have an S-View case and am experiencing the same results. If I press the call button on my Bluetooth with the case closed, the only thing that happens is the default S-view notification screen shows up for a few seconds. No S Voice, no Google Now. Very frustrating. It makes me not even want to use this case!
Well at least it is confirmed. I'll reach out to Samsung to see if they can help. Maybe a s/w update will fix the issue. So basically I have to remember to leave the case open when in the car and hope it will work... How does crap like this get past quality control and testing?
So after an online chat and a telephone call to multiple departments @ Samsung, no one is aware and therefore not acknowledging there is an issue as I have described it. I was told to return the case and try another. While I will do just that, I am apprehensive that it will fix the issue. I have sent a very detailed email to their customer relations department and if I hear anything back I'll update everyone further.
In the meantime however, I hope others read this and will come forward and let me know if your S-View case inhibits voice-activated dialing using S Voice &/or Google Now when closed via Bluetooth. If you are having this issue, please also post which carrier model of the S4 you have.
Thanks.

I have a different issue altogether, -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2304828
However, Samsung has completely stonewalled me, despite going through extensive troubleshooting and doesn't want to log the problem. Good luck getting this issue resolved and documented on their end... I haven't been able to do so with mine! If I had an S-View case I'd test for you, but I don't. Try documenting with Verizon as well.
I posted a 1-star review on Samsung's website under the Black S-View case and also replied to another enduser comment posted there similarly under Community Q&A however neither one is showing yet on their respective pages. I'm not sure if Samsung is withholding it or if it just takes a while to appear. I did my phone upgrades @ Best Buy so I'm going to post negative reviews there and @ Verizon Wireless as well under the S-View case.
I have the same exact issue and I just figured it out because I bought a pair of LG Tone+ (which i suggest people look at if they need a bluetooth) but it really sticks I cant use all the functions because of the S-View Case....I was hoping there was some kind of setting but I guess not...Please update if anyone gets this working
I opened a case with Verizon and supposedly they are investigating with Samsung but I have not heard anything in about a week. I was at the end of my return period w Bestbuy so I had to return it. Sadly I'm seeing more of those types of cases by other vendors but am apprehensive to purchase one because Samsung hasn't even acknowledged there is an issue. Sadly I loved that case but since it went back I ordered a special deal from Spigen - their thin armor case along with the glass protector for like 50% off. Hopefully I will like it.
If I hear back from either Samsung or Verizon I'll update the thread.

I was really enjoying the Sview case until I couldn't make calls with bluetooth. Does anyone actually put this stuff through real world testing before releasing??
I wound up returning mine for exactly that very same reason. I called Samsung and it went nowhere. Complained to Verizon and they said they'd look into it but it never went anywhere either. Sucks.

Is there a workaround for the Samsung case/ voice search issue?
Hi Guys,
This is CRAZY! I have tried both the Samsung S-View and Flip Wallet cases with my Note 3, and neither allow me to use S-Voice when the case cover is closed. "Hi Galaxy" goes unanswered.
Also using a Bluetooth headset, the call button will only bring up the S-Voice prompt if the case is open. This is absurd. Does Samsung expect that no one will want to make a call with the phone in their pocket?
Does anyone have a workaround for this? Someone must have an app that allows S-Voice or Google Now to answer a Bluetooth/Voice request when the case cover is closed.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael
Sad this issue was never addressed. Makes no sense!

same problem
I am experiencing the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini (I9192). When the cover is closed I cannot use voice commands at all (which, I believe, has nothing to do with the S Voice app). It makes no difference if my handsfree is plugged in or not:
- I cannot answer / reject calls using vocal commands
- I cannot use voice commands with the music player (like "play" "next" "previous" etc).
And, of course, I cannot use S Voice. If I press the handsfree button that is supposed to start S Voice, while my S view cover is closed, the cover's display lights up but there is no "beep" signal that one usually hears when S Voice is turned on. However, if i open up the cover, S Voice is right there waiting for me to speak, so the handsfree button does his job but S Voice can't hear what i'm saying when the cover is closed.
I contacted Samsung and I am waiting for a response. I will let you know what that is as soon as I receive one.
answer from Samsung
*Dear Stefan,*Thank you for contacting Samsung Telecommunications America.*After reviewing your email, we understand that you are unable to use the voice commands on your Galaxy S4 mini device when the the S view cover is closed.*We understand your concern. We know how important it is to fix the issue. We would like to inform you that voice commands will work on the phone when the screen is unlocked.*When S view cover is closed, the device screen will be locked and voice commands won’t work unless you open the S view cover.*Thank you for the feedback and we value as a customer. There might be an enhancement on the device in future. As of now, there are no configuration settings on the device to use the voice commands when the S view cover is closed [...]
For the hell of it decided to do an online chat w/Samsung and the CSR stated there is no issue Technical Support is aware of regarding this issue. A total crock. I know it's a web-chat CSR so I expected nothing more, however I thought I'd share my results just the same. Serenity Now!
But wait, there's more...
Then he back-pedaled stating hands-free is not supported when the case is closed, that it is a default and unchangeable setting.
Marvelous! Just frickin' Marvelous!

Should never have cancelled my play order >< still haven't got my refund so can't order another from Amazon and theyre going fast on there ><
What I get for wanting a different color ffs
Got mine today! My first order was 26th, I cancelled on 2nd to try and order from Mobilefun, then re-ordered again from Google the same day. It still shipped on the 4th and it was delivered today. I'm quite impressed that I didn't lose my place in the queue
Mine shipped at 10AM today Pretty sure I'll have it by the time I'm back from work tomorrow can't wait! How's everyone finding there's so far?
Got mine this evening, the Parcelforce shipping was not fantastic but got there in the end, had to pick up from a local post office as I missed the initial delivery (note to self, get all future orders sent to work.) Though the watch had been here in London for three days before they got it over to me.
The watch itself is very impressive, literally 'road tested' the navigation on my bicycle tonight, OK, it opens the maps app fully on the phone and the screen is on (even when in your pocket, but you can power that down.) So some tweaks needed, but to be fair, got me home...as a car user. They also need to tweak the 'mode of transport' option. But overall it's great being able to get travel directions on your wrist (one of the reasons I bought the G watch actually) so that ticks a box.
I love the currency conversion, language translation features, "OK Google, convert £100 into mexican pesos", "OK Google translate 'hello world' into German" etc, works like a charm.
Some nice apps that I installed after doing some checks online
Calculator:
(Look it up on Google, I am not allowed to post links , search for "Google Wear Calculator")
Duolingo (This will give you a small 'Flash Card' language game on your wrist...awesome really )
Since it works with notifications, you can obviously change tracks on Spotify etc. Yet to test it with Netflix when paired with Chromecast, looking forward to that
This presents the opportunity to use some of the phone functions while the phone is charging up and you are watching TV for example.
Overall, love the device, comfortable on the wrist, beautiful, easy to use, well worth the money for the Navigation, Translation and Currency/Unit etc conversion features alone.
Some small (intermittent issues) with Bluetooth disconnection but the connection quickly returns, not a major obstruction but a quiet annoyance.
I am sure that Google will iron the bugs out over time and also that 3rd party devs will start to wear enable their apps. This device is easily worth the money
got mine about an hour ago and so far so good
needs more watchfaces hopefully someone will get to making some awesome gaming themed custom ones also any idea how I get the weather card back? swiped it away and can't seem to get it back lol

Make sure your wrist is perpendicular to the floor and facing you, the watch knows which was is 'up', takes a bit of getting used to but once you get the hang of it, it's simple.
Just purchased a 7t pro used only 4 months old , now i have had a 7 pro and a 7T oneplus mobile before. The fingerprint sensor on lockscreen is not recognised most of the times . Tried changing fingerprints by putting more than 3 , also have hard reset it and used unbrick tool to downgrade to 10.0.8 That did not work also. wipe cached basically tried everything also taken of screen protector .
I have given now thinking it has to be a faulty sensor.
Anyone else has had same problem and maybe know a way to sort it out

Do the finger print on the same finger 2or3 times that should help
No issues here, i have only one fingerprint setup.
Works perfect and haven't had a mismatch ever.

Tried that also its still very hit and miss . Also tried on some of my family , same there hit and miss
I had similar issues but in relation to my second thumb. (I only use thumbs to unlock). The right one worked just fine. The left one was hit or miss. Now it works much better. I can say it'stable .
The best way to configure fingerprint was in my case: 1) try to cover reader area by moving finger little bit, small steps are the best 2) try to configure fingerprint when you actually hold the phone. The angle and the position of the touching finger when you hold it and try to unlock is basically not always the same when your device rests on a flat surface. I think it's worth a shot.
Moreover reader area can be dirty or greasy/and so can be finger. Try to wipe it, and then try lock/unlock couple of times.
I got the impression FR has "learnt" both fingers and it's much much better now. Right finger precision is 9/10 and left one is like 7-8/10.
That is what i dont get its not like i have not had a oneplus device before . but this one seems to be hit and miss, where else others for me was instant
I used devices with analog fingerprint readers and they were instant indeed. In-screen scanners are getting better too. I've owned P40 Pro for a month and I must say that it was almost no difference compared to the analog one - blazing fast and high precision. The one on OP7T pro is not as good (well it's not as modern either), but when you find solution to set it up properly you'll be satisfied. Mine works really good now. Best of luck!
Sent it back now looking for another one

I had this issue just after 4 days of buying. 90% of times my 7T Pro would not recognize the fingerprint. I submitted my device to the service center thrice, even showed them the video recordings of sensor being faulty and they kept telling me that its a software glitch. Well I approached them and literally yelled at them when the issue occurred the 4th time. They changed some hardware component in front of me which is related to the fingerprint and the issue was resolved. Turned out I was right the whole time and they apologized to me. So trust me, it is the hardware issue and you need to get some hardware part changed in your phone. Go with the video recording if you have to and do not leave the service center until they replace the component. We also do not need to factory reset the phone for this so just say NO for factory reset. God knows why service center executives in India always suggest factory reset as the first option to every problem. Hope this helps.

I think the reason is that many issues can be resolved by factory resetting. That it doesn't apply to a lot of situations is the issue with that.
But their philosophy is that if 50 percent of issues can be resolved by factory resetting, they have more resources than if they guide you through 500 steps until a factory reset becomes the only option.
That's why XDA comes in handy
That's actually kind to say but it's a notion to pickup the easiest ( even if it may not be correct ) way.

But this is the same approach by every company. Even at an Apple Store you are presented the easiest option and every other step until you finally get a physical repair.
Just like you rarely get objective advise at a retail store. You are pushed towards a higher priced product so the seller profits from it.
You will never go to an Apple Store just to let the staff tell you a Nokia is cheaper and better for your needs.
I eagerly installed the Dec 2021 update on my Pixel 6 a couple of weeks back - hoping to improve the FP pass rate.
But I am convinced its gotten worse.
It seemed better at first - but soon deteriorated...
Since the update, whilst it still unlocks on the 1st attempt occasionally, I am finding far more instances where it completely fails to recognise my FP and I am forced to put my PIN number in to unlock.
Prior to the update, it would unlock more often on the 1st attempt - otherwise it may have taken 2-3 attempts to unlock and very rarely I would have to enter the PIN.
Same here! adding more of the same finger did not help!
It was better or about the same from 13/12 until 25/12, and now I hardly can use it. have to enter password all the time.

I am not sure where you are located geographically, but in the northern hemisphere it is now winter. As such the overall humidity levels (particularly indoors) tends to be very low and skin is drier. What you may be seeing is your skin seasonally drying out - and the P6 is terrible at reading dry fingerprints.

Did anybody here read the other 8+ threads here in the Pixel 6 thread about the finger print reader. ?
Just curious, why no one found any help there....

I think his point was that there are a half dozen FPR threads already and another is not really needed. Why not find an older one and update that? Wouldn't that make more sense?
Worst FPR ever put on a phone
Ok this is beyond a joke now. Why in the hell would these morons remove face unlock only to add the absolute worst fingerprint reader I've ever dealt with on any phone I've ever owned. I never thought I'd consider going back to pin unlock...

I think his point was that there are a half dozen FPR threads already and another is not really needed. Why not find an older one and update that? Wouldn't that make more sense?
Worst FPR ever put on a phone
Ok this is beyond a joke now. Why in the hell would these morons remove face unlock only to add the absolute worst fingerprint reader I've ever dealt with on any phone I've ever owned. I never thought I'd consider going back to pin unlock...

Sent it back for a refund.
I would not put up with all the troubles that you are having.
My P6 works good before the December update and after the December update.

I would love to - but its been over 2 months since I ordered it. I foolishly hoped that Google would fix it ASAP - and the 1st attempt has been less than satisfactory...Wish I had returned it within the 30 days...
