Ok i know a lot of you guys bought an S5 and it either came with the camera bug, or it came out of nowhere (like mine).
Well i sort of have a solution for this.
Just download the app Snapchat, for some reason this app doesn't make the camera force close since it uses it's own.
It's not the best but in order to do this:
1.Go to the camera on there
2.Just screenshot the screen.
That simple!!
Until there is an OTA update or you plan on getting a replacement, this is the only solution i have figured out so far.
If i helped any please press thanks. ?

I just uograded from a Huawei Mate 7 and it had the option to protect individual apps via fingerprint. Is there any way to lock app with fingerprints on the nexus 6p. Like a app in google play. I know there are some aps for galaxy devices but I haven't seen anything that will work on the nexus?

There is an app called fingersecurity that should work. Would be nice if marshmallow had a native lock app.
This app only works for samsung devices apparently. Hopefully something comes out soon. I have some people in my life that love to change my facebook status....

Yes, that is obvious. However, like many people, I sometimes show someone something on my phone so I give it to them.
If FS won't work just use applock until a fingerprint app comes out. That's what I did before FS.

curious to know - did it work? I haven't yet received my 6P hence asking else would have tested it out myself!
Nope. Hexlock doesn't work with Nexus fingerprint scanner. At least not yet.

In this case I would think that app pinning would work. You can set it so that it requires a password/finger print to disable. Pin the app you want to show somebody, and they will only be able to access that specific app until you disable pinning with your fingerprint.
I've been looking for an individual app locker using Nexus Imprint too. FingerSecure is Samsung only atm. Hopefully developers will soon begin utilizing the fingerprint apis in Marshmallow.
check out keepsafe applock

Thanks that's a good app but its not exactly what I'm looking for. Keepsafe is a single app that only stores pictures and videos with a password. I'm looking for an app that can fingerprint protect (instead of just password protect) other apps on the 6P. (Layer over another app). A good example is AppLocker or BioProtect on a jailbroken IOS device, or the fingerprint app locking software Hauwei includes on their flagship phones or even some of the few fingerprint Applockers out there for newer Samsung devices like the s5+ and note 4+.

Oh sorry i meant applock by keepsafe. It's on the play store, it locks apps using a password or fingerprint. It just so happens to be from the same developers as keepsafe, check it out.

Yea its their Applock app I'm using now. But I've just been using the pin to lock apps. Unfortunately the fingerprint option doesn't work on the 6p just yet. It says that no fingerprint reader was found.

Thank you so much man!!! I love this app. Works flawlessly so far. This is exactly what we've all been waiting for on the 6P. Thank you so much!! Huge props to the developers for this awesome app!
Please note, however, that MaxLock requires you to root your phone, install a custom recovery and side-load the Xposed framework. It isn't able to utilize fingerprint unlocking on the stock Nexus 6P.
Where do I find the option in Maxlock for fingerprint use? I am rooted but cannot find it

It is enabled by default. All you need to do is enable a pin/pattern lock the settings. Then when you try to unlock an app with the pin/pattern you previously set you will be able to use Imprint to unlock the app. The Imprint icon automatically appears. In the pictures below the Imprint Icon automatically appears next to the zero when I have the pin lock option set. Hope this helps.
Whenever I type. The keyboard feels laggy. As if my typing is two seconds faster than what's showing on the screen. Vibration feedback is also laggy everything else feels snappy. Any idea what the problem might be guys

Hey, are you logged into your SwiftKey account? I think the lag is due to the account data with SwiftKey, I deleted my word predictions from SwiftKey cloud storage and it seems to be fine now.
Do try and let me know.

My galaxy S7 install new TouchWiz home v6.0 s8 apk from here http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/touchwiz-home/touchwiz-home-6-0-77-release
New TouchWiz not support Briefing or Upday (swip to left from first page)
How to?
I install that on my s7 edge, now my mobile is half blocked, New Touch wiz doesn't want to start... What to do? I can't install older version, saying that file is corrupted
You need clear application data from setting->applicaltion->touchwiz home. If you want back to old touchwiz home, go to application setting, tap options and uninstall update
Is this working? I wanna try

It works great. I installed it in both mine, and my brother's s7e. In my s7 edge it worked flawlessly. In my brother's s7e the phone started to freeze, so I went to apps > touchwiz home and cleared the data and cache. All is working perfect now.

This method was borrowed from another thread.
Thanks to @heathmcabee for this.
It's not my discovery but I'm sharing the write up here since we already have a thread about this.
Copied and pasted and I've verified that it works.
Open quick shortcut maker
Enter "test" into the search box (without quotes)
Select the last entry (com.test.LTEfunctionality)
Once it expands, select the last entry
Tap on "try"
Scroll to and select the entry that says "APN setting"
Tap the entry that's already selected (blue dot)
Scroll down to "APN type"
In the box, it'll say "default,mms"
Tap the box and change it to read "default,mms,dun"
Make sure there's no quotes or spaces.
Tap the three dot menu on the very top right and select save.
Profit.
Hit thanks if this helps [emoji4]

Wait I have yet to update to the latest fw, The one that removes Bixby button remapping. Does that update also remove Hotspot?

So has anyone actually been successful? Is there anyway somebody could post a quick guide? I went to the thread for the S7 Edge already, but I can only get so far when it comes to the adb shell settings. Any help would be appreciated. -x_
