Fingerprint to sign in to apps - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My previous phone was the Galaxy S6 and it allowed me to use my fingerprint to sign in to apps.
My nexus 6p doesn't. Is there a setting I need to enable to get this feature?
Here's a picture from my wife's gs6

Here's a screenshot from my nexus 6p
Notice how her galaxy s6 has three option to sign in using her fingerprint but mine doesn't?
How do I get the nexus 6p to allow this?
Both phones are running game through most recent version of the bank of America app.

Apps will have to be update to allow for nexus fingerprint. Samsung uses own proprietary app that BOA app was updated to work with. They will come eventually as more phones go to this method.

It says it right in the app description:
"Note: Fingerprint sign-in is currently only supported for select Samsung devices. We’ll be adding support for more devices in future releases."

Yea it sucks. Very slow adoption rate

Mostly because most still think it's a gimmick like 3d screens. Once it has been common place for a year or so you will see more adaption...if it lasts that long.

phone,OS or manufacturer can match have a look and tell me what you think
Wow, someone just landed on planet earth

Curious for the specs of this smartphone...!!!
do a search for the Celluon magic cube keyboard. that technology is already out and for sale. I'm not saying the phone is real, I'm just saying that the keyboard is possible and would be pretty friggin sweet.

Anyway...
The design is awesome !! Thats what a phone should look like.
But unnecessary To buy it.
S3 is still great.

I do not think I am going to upgrade from 3 to 4... Phones seem to be more powerful than we need nowadays!

Why is my 6P always turning WiFi On?

Pretty much sums it up. I have location based wifi turned off but whenever I get in a spot with open WiFi it will turn on automatically. I don't mind it most of the time but I really don't want it to happen at work.

Are you on Project-Fi?
No I'm not, I'm on AT&T.

This did install not long ago and maybe I should delete it. I kinda wondered because I think that may be a project fi app.

Correct the app is related to Project Fi.
Did you disable Wi-Fi scanning as well?

It hasn't happened since I disabled that app, that was definitely the issue.

Google notifications

I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. Every once in a while I get a pop up notification from Google. Opening it, it directs me to Google settings. Is it telling me I need to change something? I didn't think so. Everything seems to be working fine. More annoyingly, I can't swipe it away. It seems the only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone. Can anyone enlighten me as to what's going on here?
Thanks very much for any help & here is screen shot of what I'm talking about.

See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3366469 It seems to be something to do with Nova launcher.

Thanks very much for that. Narrowing it down to something to do with Nova launcher is a start at least. I'll research further. It's still very annoying though!

Hmm I occasionally get this pop up when I say ok Google from the lock screen with ok Google always on enabled. It appears for a couple of seconds then goes away, I thought it was to say Google now is recording audio?

Ok I installed the version currently available on samobile.. it worked!! Now if I wanted to revert to my s6 version of touchwiz I thought I could choose the option to uninstall updates under apps??
Uninstall updates isn't a button as you can see?!

I know you're looking for previous versions of the Samsung keyboard but there are far better ones available.
The best one overall is Gboard (Google keyboard). Gives shortcut straight to Google search, allows a moderate amount of customization (themes) and allows slide typing.
Swiftkey and Flesky are two other ones that are pretty close, Flesky has some serious perks in terms of screen estate and theming (you can customize the look to virtually anything you desire). Both of these are free as well.

S10+ and fingerprint sensor problems

Is the S10+ touched by the recent news/problems discovered about the Fingerprint sensor being easily fooled ? Being a boosted S10 does have the same problems ?
I can unlock with my left thumb but my right thumb was what i scanned into the phone[emoji12]

That only really applies when using a screen protector. If your that paranoid just wipe off that part of the screen after you lock it.

I received a biometrics update this morning for improvements and fingerprint version 2. Or something like that. Caught me off guard as it wasn't a normal monthly OTA.
