Hi all.
I have a Motorola Edge S Pro with the Polar Star Pure Edition ROM by @ilia3367 installed for more than a year now. For the past month, my fingerprint scanner would randomly stop working, and I would have to restart my phone. I have now cleared all cache, done a full factory reset, and updated to the latest version. I don't think this is a hardware issue, because it still works perfectly most of the time.
The error I get when it stops is "Fingerprint Hardware Not Available". It's as if a single application is crashing it, and it does not restart. When I restart the phone, everything is working again.
Any advice?
Did you manage to fix it?

So some said it's because I updated my Android OS from Marshmallow to Nougat. It's actually a month after I upated my P9 and everything worked perfectly fine until such time when I can't start my camera. It just gives me a black display and exit instantly! I tried wiping cache, that force stop and clear data thing, hard reset, reset via settings, tried using other app that can possibly open it, however, the front camera is still working only not through thr stock app. And even the flashlight icon was gone. Now my last option wss to rollback to Marshmallow which I did aaaaaand it still didn't solved my problem. I wouldn't say I've abused my phone since I happened to know someone who has the exact same issue as mine. And both of us are waiting for a solution. Please. I've been reading post from this forum but I can't find one related to my problem.
Anyone else getting face unlock issues? It works fine then suddenly stops working. Says it can't recognize a face. If I try to delete and re program the facial recognition, an error shows up saying the feature isn't working and the phone needs to be restarted. After restart, it works fine again. Happens now once daily.

yes, I am having the same issue though it's perhaps once every three weeks.
I tried clearing the cache and data in the App manager but did nothing.
I am thinking it might be the app that scans for apps and it they are not used within three days it puts them to sleep. But that shouldn't cause it not to even run.
I think this is why Samsung put an option in the settings to auto restart your phone weekly or what not.
Mine acts up once in a while, so just switched back to IRIS. Anyone notice that there is no Preview Screen now? Just text at the top of the screen with instructions. (I like it better without the preview screen, thought it was tacky).
Have had this problem intermittently from day one, on this and another note. It's not so reliable. Fingerprint still the fastest.
Seriously facial recognition is garbage
Sent from my SM-N950F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
there is a setting which lets you make a less secure faster facial recognition. I use this with no problem...
Just got this phone days ago and flashed fresh new .205 firmware, then configed the phone and installed apps on it.
Everything appears fine, but suddenly all auto-start apps stop auto-starting after phone boots, until I unlock my phone manually, then finally they can start in the background.
What could cause this to happen? My other phone, Xperia XZP with exact same apps and settings works fine with no problem.
Update: app-start turns normal after disabling PIN. But how? Why? Can I turn it on again?
Update: apps stopped auto-starting again after fingerprint(PIN) is enabled. Really need some help here. Smart lock also appears broken, it just shows a blank screen in its settings page.
Update 2:
OK now I know it's caused by a feature called "FBE" and I have to do a factory reset to get rid of it. So damn great. I hate these companies.
Hopefully someone can help...
I finally received my OTA update to Oreo last week... all was good for a few days, then over the weekend it has been having constant issues with locking up, apps not responding and streaming issues. Top ones I can think of are:
Incoming calls do not display on lock screen and screen just goes black when I try to open
Facebook Messenger sometimes locking up the whole phone
When streaming a video file to Chromecast with AllCast, it keeps pausing until I activate the screen again
I wondered if it was to do with a compatibility issue with SwiftKey, so I switched back to Gboard, which seemed ok for a bit then it went on the fritz too! I've tried taking the SD card out and restarting, I've tried formatting the cache partition from the boot menu... still no joy.
Anyone got any idea what the issue could be and how to remedy?
After every os update its recommend to do factory reset.
Try factory reset and everything will be fine.
my oneplus 3t was working fine and suddenly I had an error saying "Fingerprint hardware is not available" or something like that but it disappeared after I locked it and unlocked it once. after that time it keeps appearing for a while and one time it didn't go away so I did a reboot and it started working again. then it happened again and I force stopped the fingerprint from setting and cleared the storage, it worked for a while but now it doesn't work at all. did that all drained battery then charge it to 100% still isn't working. possible solution?
Edit: sorry for my bad English. ?
