Just as a form of curiosity, I own a Galaxy S8 (SM-G950FD) and this problem occurred after this update, a friend of mine owns a Galaxy S7 Edge and has the same sensor problems less the iris in case not have, of course , at first I thought it had been hardware, but I already suspected that the device with less than 15 days of use, without having taken any fall or something, I did not find any comment in any Brazilian forum, I am almost certain to be problems of software, I will download an older firmware and install it to try to fix this problem.
Thank you in advance.

You could try wiping caches and a factory reset first . But make sure if you are on the u2 bootloader.Do not try to downgrade firmware with the u1 bootloader.

Hello, TheMadScientist, I have already performed this cache cleaning procedure and reset to factory defaults, but to no avail. When you refer to bootloader u1 or u2 would be what? Tnks

This is an example of a firmware not yours but one G950USQU1 Take notice to the U1 in it The newer Firmws have a U2 in this place and cannot be downgraded
You can look in about phone and software info for firmware version listed under biuld number or build info

just take a look at this topic I found here in XDA, has dozens of reports of similar problems, but a year ago. I continue to hope to solve this problem. Reading these reports I have more conviction that everything started after a security update! ¬¬ "

But do they work when u use the device? Like the screen turning off while u are calling someone, auto brightness, screen rotation...?

i would try to flash other or previous firmware with odin like others said
then i would send it back if you have warranty
and here are some thoughts
i didn't owned Dual Sim phones bevore but you said you have G950FD and your PDA is G950FXXU1AQK7
i think there is a ''D'' missing it should be something like this G950F(D)XXU1AQK7
I read on s7edge forums that single sim firmware can ba flashed on dual sim but i am nut sure if this still apply to s8
you can try to flash a Dual Sim specific firmware when you want maybe it helps
are you rooted or something??

I am now downloading the firmware G950FXXU1AQJ5 to test and see if it solves, I already left the device ready to receive it. Curious that I performed two restoration procedures nowadays but none solved this problem of freezing the sensors! I did the factory reset through the menu of the device and did the hard reset with the buttons volume up + bixby + power, cache cleaning and data factory, but without success = \. I'm hoping this older firmware will solve! Thanks for the tips and attention!

Almost positive I know what this is, I encountered it regularly when testing firmware and potential root methods. Several parts of your firmware must be at the same version or if they are not, this is the exact failure mode I would encounter.
Flashing a new entire firmware, and flashing every file (BL, AP, CP, CSC) and not skipping any parts. If things work after this was your problem

s8 sensors not working
Hi there, it looks like im facing this exact same problem on my exynos galaxy s8. I have been using this phone for 3 months, never dropped it, not even a single mark is present on my phone. This exact problem started on my phone when i restarted it and noticed that my iris scanner was not responding. And you can guess the rest. I tried everything i could from restarting to booting safe mode and clearing cache partition but no luck.
If you have found a way to fix this issue or a workaround please let(us) know.
Here are some screenshots from the support feedback and they acknowledge that is possibly a software issue.

All sensors not working on Note 8
Hi All,
Have the same problem with my Note 8 Dual Sim as well. I have warranty on the phone, when i went to Samsung they said its a problem with the updates. This happened to me twice and got the phone replaced as well but last Friday it happened on the replacement phone as well with the Oreo update after about two weeks of functioning correctly.
If any of the developers can let me know if there is a work around for this please let me know.
Thanks in advance

I'm facing the same problem
I'm facing the same problem,after an software update,all the sensor on my galaxy S8 stopped working, I have spoke with the Samsung representative but it did not help.
Tried factory resetting ,no hope
I hope someone find a solution to this problem

Hi Tortorella,
Did you succeed with this process? every sensors back to normal after clear flash using odin?
Please respond. i updated my s8 to oreo to latest update and after a single restart all my sensors are gone.
Thanks in advance

[q] please help to identify sm-n910u fake or not ??

Hi All ,
Me and my wife just bought 2 brand new and never opened box from a 2 different company , my wife unit is an SM-N910H WHITE and mine is N910U BLACK , that which i bought it 1 week later then her ( I just prefer to buy a 4G LTE version , so i bought it from other company and both company is on Cyprus) , so after when i first open the box and start the inspecting the unit (SM-N910U) my note 4 feels me a fake Note4 like , and i am still suspecting that my Note 4 is not genuie (please see the pictures that i attached ,that why it makes to feel me like that), but however the phone INFO samsung says that it is original, and also my ANTUTU score is about 51300 , and please note that my s-pen is working with buttons and pointer, but i am not sure about that , so , please SM-N910U users help me to identify that my unit is original or Fake (please check my all the pictures that i have attached , see my box type , see the battery and back side of the phone and plese verify that , yours SM-N910U are just same or not , i have also searched and checked the google images and youtube videos for trying to found same box info or back side for only SM-N910U series but found out nothing ) and beside i have a few general questions about SM-N910U series as well at the following
1) when i first run my SM-N910U to set up it , it starts with chinese language and a chinese keyboard by default , so , i had switched the language and keyboard to english as well, but the keyboard is there in chinese by default and i am unable to un-tick or remove it (because i never use chinese and it is affecting my sms , handwriting , and s-voice usage style ) , is there any way to remove the chinise language support or keyboard with or without rooting ?? with stock rom as well ?? or if i just flash an other country coded firmware (not hong Kong)with the other modem firmware for the SM-N910U series from sammobile , can it be an international english version with 4G support or not ?? is it possible ??
2) on a some of other forums that i am just checking instractions for rooting my SM-N910U, i have read that, the chinese SM-N910U models (which is i thought mine it is ) is not capable with 4G/LTE and it is not fully compatible with 4G/LTE but, my band shows that and selected that "LTE/WCDMA/GSM(auto connect)" is it True or not ??
3) I just rooted my SM-N910U and i think i void my warranty (KNOX 0X1) , is there a way to reset this counter to 0x0 ?? or if i just fully uninstall root from Super su on menu -settings , my SM-N910U counter will be again to 0x0 or not ??
PLEASE NOTE THAT: I DONT THINK TO USE THE SWEET ROM FOR NOW , AND WILL CONTINUE AS STOCK A FEW WHILE
THANKS FOR YOUR HELPS

IMO. It is real note 4.
Go back to factory and try to do update. If it's real the phone will update.
its real.
1. no you need to flash a NZ ROM to get rid of chinese input. you cannot flash anything other than a 910u rom.
2. yes 910u supports LTE on some bands.
3. no you cannot reset warranty counter and you have destroyed knox security on the device permanently.

Thanks for your best answer can i also use the NZ modem firmware with the ROM as well ? , or i should not change the modem firm ??

so i heared an program some about called that "triangle" or something like that to reset the counter , so doese'nt it applicable ??
IMO. fake note 4 usually contain 720p HD display. The real contain Quad HD.
The different in this case is easily noticeable, especially somebody with real Quad HD display side by side.
Then if you doesn't state about it screen. I think it is positively sign.
I just checked my U and it looks the same as yours. Mine is real, so I think your safe. Time to relax.
no triangleaway cant reset it. mine is the same as yours and its real.
you cannot reset knox counter without buying a new phone.
Dear all friends , I want to say thank you for all (each by each ) that who just helped me about my questions and validate that my SM-N910U h.k version as a GENUINE and now i also agreed and make sure that this model (SM-N910U h.k ) is also an original Note 4 so, the case is closed for me , Those users that who have just the exactly same series of Note 4 , and who they could not find any info or pictures for verify it ,and also whose them is not sure that SM-N910U h.k is orjinal or not (like me ) can check the comments whose helped me and the pictures that i attached , so if all same with yours now you can make sure that its GENUINE SM-N910U h.k , lol i also verify that , and finally if the moderator wish to lock the thread he/She can lock it and can change Thread name as SOLVED thanks for all again
also one more last question to zurkx about flash a NZ ROM , even i asked it about my #5 post but i think Zurkx did not saw it ( thats my mistake sorry ) , i had asked that if can i also use the NZ modem firmware with the ROM as well ? , or i should not change the modem firm ??
Just connect to pc and open Kies if it reckons it then it's real. Easiest way

yes the modem is the same on all the same models of the phone. so a 910U should have an intel modem (check it before flashing) which should be the same as the NZ intel LTE modem.
Well mine says camera 15.9 MP
So i went to some pages and found the same thing in all original note 4 but in those note 4 fake it says 12 MP.
Device you have made in china but you're using turkish sim card but you said you buy devices from cyprus.
Another thing is I read this same post weeks ago with diferent names

Dear 1980Aksoy , Due to your Nick name, I am guessing that , you are an Turkish Member as well like me but i did not excatly understand that what you mean , but i am assumming that you are from Turkey , and i am from Cyprus , and Cyprus is not belong only to greek cypriots , so i am a turkish cypriot member, so thats why i am using Turkish Sim Card and the operator name is KKTCELL (it is an GSM operator partner of TURKCELL which is at TURKEY) , anyway if you read my #1 post you will understand why i prefered the SM-N910U model , but before i had an SM-N910H that which is the back side product label of the unit was different with the U model (as shown at the pictures) , so i know that the U model was an HK product , but i did not expected a different information label and a simple label (that feels not genuie) like , made by samsung with some chinese letters before i just unbox the unit after i just bought .
However the marketter are here too canny that they sell SM-910H (as an 3G variant) about 1800 TL , and they sell SM-910F (as an 4G variant) about 2300 TL , but even i dont prefer to buy an 4G or LTE version before because of the quad core (snapdragon variant) but after i search some info at google and forums , i found that some of eight cores (Exynos variants) variant work as an LTE as well (like SM-N910U, SM-N910C or SM-N910CQ (which is currently wide on Turkey) , and unfortunately it is hard to find SM-N910U and SM-N910C or SM-N910CQ units on Cyprus , and when i found 1 unit (SM-N910U) i bought it as an 3g price at 1800 TL from the seller ( because some of belives that all the Exynos variant does not support LTE) but this supports , so if the seller was made sure that this SM-N910U unit supports LTE , she would try to sell it to me as 2300 TL as an 4G unit

From what I can tell the main board is real because you have gotten OTA updates plus all the graphics look right. But I think the housing is a cheap aftermarket (look at the overspray of the black paint around the back edges), so it could possibly be a factory refurb. To answer your question about the N910F/N910U marking, since the base madel if N910F you will see the "F" even on "U" units, perfectly normal.

Sensors and other problems

Hey guys,
I am facing a couple of problems with my new galaxy s5 g900f version,
it was already used when i had bought it and i dont know what did the first owner do with this phone.
1. First problem i encountered was sensors stopped working, proximity sensor, barometer sensor and gesture sensor, i noticed it after flashing flashing original firmware from different region with different modem than it was sold with, i got it with hongkong ZH firmware and reflashed to czech XX firmware, i had to also use pit file for 16GB ETL G900F to be able to flash it, dont know if its the problem, tried different roms like CM and original TW for different regions, different pit files, resetting and calibrating those sensors according to tutorials but still nothing. Can be also hardware damage, i tried just pouring some water over this phone, but everything seems to be working ok, also could be burned due to overheating? I was checking my IMEI and imei.info told me my phone is 32gb but i bought 16GB, on the box it says 16gb, i dont remember if my phone told me its 16gb with this hongkong firmware ... its all really weird.
BTW these sensors above the screen are perfectly clean, no dust so i bet the waterproofing/dustproofing is working ok and its not the problem
2. Second problem is i tried selfie stick with my phone but its not working, not problem in this stick since xperia Z3 and LG G3 are accepting it fine, could be some jack problem but headphones working ok ... this selfie stick is using its button as volume button through aux
Would be really great if someone got any idea, or if you have 16GB G900F version, you could check what IMEI says about your phone, does it show 16GB storage?
Thank you very much and sorry for my english, its not my primary language
PS: forgot to say, the phone is now on latest G900FXXU1BOJ2 rom with ETL csc, system status official, no root, original recovery, efs not corrupted(imei is displaying), serial number is changed somehow but shouldnt be big problem, also tried flashing back hongkong firmware but didnt help with any problem

re flash help need
long story short tried to root my at&t varient s7 edge and ended up breaking my phone and there are tons of random little things wrong with my firmware and every time i try to reflash it, it fails and i have the right firmware files it wont flash thow can someone pls help me
I'm not too sure where to start. The S7 Edge on rogers is my first android phone(minus the note 7), and it's been a long time since I've tinkered with anything but a default OS. Last time I was installing custom roms it was on a HTC TYTN. I know I have a lot to learn before I attempt anything, but I'm having a tough time finding the information. Is there a "safe" as in wont damage the phone way to root? Is there a way to put it back to stock if i need to have warranty work done? If both of those criteria can be met I think I'm interested in doing some reading on the root process. I'm just not sure where to start. The main reason i want to root is for ad blocking, but I'm sure as I read up on the topic i'll find other things i'm interested in.
Thanks for your help.
I'm getting a G935FD (S7 Edge, Exynos, dual SIM Asian version) here in Europe, mostly due to a huge price difference. Heard the updates are coming out slow for these models, so can anyone confirm that a ROM from any S7 Edge can be flashed with no issues?
I'm thinking of Samsung ROMs only, so no Knox-tripping and updates still working.
Backup
Hi, I would like to try several ROMs, but I hate having to set up the phone again and again. i use Titanium for the apps, which is great, but it still takes a lot of time to go through all the settings and the setup of the edge screens.
Can those be backed up and restored in any way, too? Especially the edge panel settings would be a big help.
Why do I have 3 x Phone apps under System Application's- shouldnt it appear once? confused.
S7 Bricked
I recently (successfully?) rooted my phone, but couldn't make phone calls or texts so I tried factory resetting it. The factory reset worked but I still had the root and I couldnt make calls or texts, so I tried multiple times to unroot it through Odin and it said it worked on my last attempt, but now my phone is stuck on a black screen and a blue LED pops up. I get no vibrations or feedback from my phone. I've tried all the combos to reset, down home power, down power, power home up, home power, all of them. My only hope is to let the phone die of power and recharge it and see if it will work. Does anyone have any ideas? When I plug it in to my computer it wont detect it either.

Did you try flashing official firmware onto your device thru Odin to get rid of root? Oh wait, computer won't detect your device....I guess that won't work. Do u have snapdragon or exynos s7 edge?
I have an international s7 edge g935f rooted. After root I noticed that Google play movies won't load any movies. If I go to netflix, the movies work. I saw a post about removing a file in system/vendor/lib but I think it was for earlier phones and earlier software. I can't find that same file on the s7 edge. So I was just wondering if anyone had or has a fix for this because I have been searching for a few days now and can't find any other threads on this issue. Thanks in advance

Problem solved, unrooted. That was the problem, thanks for nothing!
I have this problem on my S7 edge after I did the auto-root, my recovery resets everytime and I can't make system changes I think this is because of the Samsung write protection is there any way to disable this write protection I tried mounting inside TWRP and also mounting with Root Browser but nothing happend
if i factory reset my rooted phone through twrp, does it remain rooted?
in case i mess something up super badly (which i will), will factory reset through twrp maintain my root?
Hi,
Does anyone know how to find out the region\country from the firmware info? I have a dual sim version purchased from ebay UK and wanted to know where is the phone from.
If I flash a different region FM via Odin would it trigger knox?
Thx

Probably not unless you find a custom firmware which is like that...
Can someone help me out. I flashed Nougat on a clean s7e using the Home CSC from my country (not the included CSC which was BTU). Now my original CSC is missing when I checked Phone Info, I performed a factory reset and used Smart Switch Emergency to flash the original firmware but its still blank. How would I go back?
Its a s7e unlocked TPA Pamama
thank you
Question regarding root & warranty:
If I root, I lose warranty. But does this mean that they will also refuse any hardware repairs? Like for example, if my display has problems or my home button doesn't work anymore (i.e. hardware problems not related to software/root).
Is someone gets random reboots?
After 1 month of use I had one. Phone been in standby on desk...

Can i still recieve OTA updates even KNOX tripped? I flashed the wrong file during the process of rooting it but then flashed Nougat beta stock to unroot to it. Thanks!

No such issue for me, never seen the moisture bug and finger print sensor working fine.
Does fingerprint sensor register anything? Back glass have contact points to work with motherboard, maybe they are not aligned after your type c replacement??!! ?

Guys, just updated (Indian Version H870DS) to Android Pie with TWN version.
Used LGUp and uppercut.
Please dont flash Singapore version. Bootloop issue.
Must say improved battery life and many new features worth to try.

How to fix bootloop issue after Singapore KDZ flash, the phone stays on LG G6+ ThinQ only.
Re-flash to another region in download mode?
EDIT: re-flash via LGUP has resolved the issue.
