Biometrics Update - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

I have a notification for a security update for the fingerprint sensor. It downloads (9.8mb) then fails to install.
Anyone else receive update?
TIA

I haven't seen this one come across - I'm on T-Mobile with an S10+. I did do the original update which was approx 462mb (it was 2am when I did it, so can't be sure), but nothing since then.

I am having the same issue. The message is being generated from TADownloader. All I get is the download, then couldn’t update try again

Seems a possible solution is to disable the Secure Folder. Figured this out myself after a phone call to Samsung where they told me they couldn't support the third party TADownloader which is made and installed by Samsung.

I Got this in the morning. Installed and updated. No details as to what it was fixing though.

Fingerprint

It's firmware update for the fingerprint reader

I also received and updated successfully

I did the update this morning successfully. I read it was available since yesterday on other countries and i was worried I wouldn't be able to do it because my phone is rooted now, but it was an "application" update not firmware update.
The fingerprint scanner is actually FAST now. Especially if you turn off the animation, it feels like S9 fast. It only misses if i don't place my finger fully on the scanner (duh), so there is some getting used to position your finger, but I am glad to see they actually fixed it this time.

Didn't work for me. I've had secure folder disabled from day 1. I went back and enabled all the knox crap plus the secure folder just in case the update relied on something from them. After enabling it installed. Not sure which specific service/app needed to be enabled.

Anyone have a version number or an apk of it

biometrics software (V2.0.8.4) -- reported on sammobile https://www.sammobile.com/2019/04/11/galaxy-s10-in-screen-fingerprint-reader-update

Anyone know how to refresh for the update or is there an apk I can download?

Can't apply this manually

Seems like it's a Galaxy App Store update. It also can't be triggered manually. Did any T-Mobile USA customers get it on their device?

Can someone send an apk of it. It is the biometrics app

Didn't receive the update yet... Exynos

Nothing I seen to do is allowing it to update. I turned off secure folder, ensured all apps were enabled, and even disabled Adhell3.
To those who successfully applied the update, are you still on the ASBA software update or did you get the later one already? I'm still on ASBA so maybe that's causing the problem?

R381XXU0BNL2 New Firmware Changes?

My Gear 2 Neo just got updated to R381XXU0BNL2, I've been trawling the internet for a changelog without any luck.
All I have noticed so far is the android/tizen version has been increased to 2.2.1.2
link: LINK TO SAMMOBILE FIRMWARE PAGE
Anyone noticed any other changes?
(still wishing someone would port Android wear to the watch)
hi i just received the same update,the only thing i noticed is that is smoother than before. (By the way i wish someone can port android wear too)
I assume Samsung Gear (ex Manager) and Watch Styler still work? I have mine set for manual updates check - doesn't seem that the new ROM is available in Canada yet.

Yeah Gear Manager works ok and watch styler seems to be ok too, Looking at the dates on the SamMobile site it doesn't look like any pattern emerging as to when Canada will receive updates. recently Russia got version NK2 but no other country did!
seems like a very strange update rollout technique.
Update: watch does seem a bit smoother, but I have had 2 occasions where the screen wouldn't come on and I have had to long press the button to bring up the power menu. I rebooted on both occasions as the watch seemed really laggy.
Any more feedback guys?
Thanks in advance! Too nervous to mess with it, it REALLY runs fine now with my 4.4.2 Note3 :laugh:
hi
deleted
Tizen version didn't increase. It was 2.2.1.2 for BNE5 too.
The biggest problem of these firmwares is that the notifications
don't remain on the screen until dismissed by the user. I have
to use clock with shortcuts with one of the shortcut being notification
in order not to miss any notification.
I was hopping it will get fixed with the next update. I'm still on BNE5
firmware. Can you please confirm/infirm is that was fixed?

Not sure how you have your notifications set up: on BNE5 I get persistent notifications for my email app (the only one I care about - work... ) by selecting it in the Samsung Gear list. I believe you can also configure the button to pop up notifications on double-press if everything else fails.
Curious about experiences with BL2...Tizen gets so little publicity it's almost like no one cares...so no feedback on the web other than a few posts here.

I was talking about sms and missed calls notifications. These are not persistent.
I would like to use "clock + events" but because I miss a lot of notifications
I have to use "clock + shortcuts" instead. Number of missed notifications
is indicated by a digit on the notification shortcut icon. No need to
double press home button each time. It's enough to check the time.

I know where to find it, but I'd rather not do a manual upgrade seeing how there is NO info re changelog and have no clue why it's not available to North America.
Weird...talk about Samsung's transparency.
Samsung started a mass update of the firmware according to the site above dates. Probably it will reach you soon. I have a Hong Kong version of it (TGY) although I've bought it from Europe and I have to wait for it too. If the wait is too long I might go to samsung care center and ask to change my CSC to my country.

Well then your screwed. Look on Samsung site for firmware. This device has never had a u.s firmware from that site. And any I mean any firmware they release is there. I flashed u.k watch is fine. If you flashed tizen or rooted at all. You will never get a update ota. Try in gear manager says your device has been modified and can not receive ota updates.
Sent from my 0x1 Note 3...... I love tep
Most certainly this is the last update. Samsung is always doing mass updates for the last firmware. BNE5 update was released in May. So if there is still a new update after BNL2
it will be very far away in time. So I won't worry about not getting ota updates anymore. You can check mrcrab site and do a last flash if it's needed.
FYI...I did get BNE5 when I first booted up the watch (and I only bought it 3 weeks ago)...so there were NA updates- just not this one.
More importantly, please post here if you run into any problems on BNL2 as like I mentioned, I have ZERO issues currently so stability is more important to me than new features which I might not use.
Cheers :highfive:

What is this icon?

Came back to the phone and my theme had changed and this icon was to the left of the bluetooth icon. Checked the QS and nothing else is turned on.
Looks like the firmware update symbol?

Don't have that either, using adhell 2.
It just means your phone is currently rotation locked to 'Portrait' try changing it to auto rotate and the icon should be gone
I love these "what's this icon" threads. They're always so suspenseful for me lol

How did you get adhell 2 to work?
The last I read, it's not supported on the N8 yet, even with the Samsung Developer License Key.
Tried installing and I get the 'not supported' message.
Thanks.

I already had the developers license so just install from here and used the license and it worked. I saw somewhere, can't remember that it had been updated to the Note 8, tried a week a go and didn't work but it's fine now.

I'm (new to Android) seeing several icons on the top of the display that I can't figure out. They are not listed in the manual. Is there a place I can get a guide for this? Thanks!

Massive Galaxy Apps update

Went to Galaxy app store and checked under "My Apps" I had updates for messages, Bixby Vision, Live Messages and about 8 or 10 other apps. They weren't there yesterday, so you all might want to check. I'm not sure what's different yet, but it was a hell of a lot of updates.
Thanks for heads up, here's what I got
same here...

That's the only useful new feature of all the updates.. rest all are related to integration with bixby.

Thanks for the info

Yep and it broke my subs black theme for messages. I had to uninstall reboot and reinstall. All good again. I get concerned when they update the UI because subs applied can crash the UI then we need a factory reset.
touchwiz also updated. the new drop down menu in home screen settings might be new for some people but I downloaded a previous apk version from sammoble.com that already had the notification pull down option. FYI sam mobile uploads most of the apks a lot quicker then Samsung lol.

DT Ignite / Mobile Services Manager (Verizon)?

Is that app no longer a thing? I just upgraded to the S10 and I'm on the latest security patch, and I'm not finding that app in the system apps anywhere. I always disable/clear that app ASAP once I get a new Android device on Verizon, and every previous android Verizon device has had it... Did it change names again or did they actually get rid of it?
I thought the last Galaxy that had it was the S8. I could be wrong though. LOL, maybe they hid it better or just changed the name.

I had a S10 on Verizon briefly when it came out so I'm 99% sure it had it at one point, but maybe I'm dreaming...
I've disabled it.. S10 - Verizon
I wonder if I have to have my Verizon sim card in the phone... I don't currently... will try shortly.
Putting my sim card in clearly "activated" it as the usual crap games starting showing up. However, I'm still not seeing it in my app list (and yes I have system apps showing). Very odd... really want to get this thing turned off. Wondering if they buried it deeper.
Does CCSWE see it or have you tried that app?

Yep, that's there, and I think you're right. The APK contains "Digital Turbine" and "IgniteService" - the original app was called DT Ignite.
Good find, thank you.
Confirmed that was definitely it. An update must've changed the name, and my device must've started on an update later than the one that changed it. As soon as I disabled it, it restored it back to the "factory" version and the name changed back to Mobile Services Manager.
Thanks again, Briermatch.

Question Google Pay / Wallet

Is there any known issue with payments via Gpay?
I have added cards into the wallet, NFC is enabled, but payments don't working.
I have OnePlus 10 PRO 5G running Android 13 (NE2213_11_C.20) - Official version (no root nor custom ROM).
Yip - on the latest Android 13 build, Gpay / wallet doesn't work if you have a work profile enabled. There may be other reasons as well but that seems to be a common cause and no sign of OnePlus admitting to the issue let alone fixing it !
Same thing happens on my NE2213_11_C.20, also enabled work profile. Hopefully this can be fixed soon
I'm on Android 12 A_17 and mines not working anymore.
I'm tempted to flash the stock boot image then remove magisk, set it up then root..

Yup reported this a while ago. A someone pointed out work profile seems to be affecting it. Personally, I ahve no work profile on my phone.
Ther was a Walled update today, not sure if that's gonna make any difference as I had no chance to test it yet.
Will give it a go and will let you know.
Oh, thanks for the answer, could not find it anywhere.

Yes, and I'd say cloner should work the same way the Work profile would work.
No big deal for me, as I'm not using it anyway. Think I just tested it and totally forgot until now. It just came to my mind yesterday as I was reading a post about removing the work profile from ADB and saw the Cloner UID showing up...
