Sedna Fingerprint Timeout

---

Like a few others with the HTC P6500 (Sedna) handset. I was annoyed by the 1 minute time out on the fingerprint security, which could not be adjusted easily. After looking at the registry etc further, I believe I have extended my timeout to 5 mins with the following registry adjustments.

Edit these values here:
HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\AE\{50C13377-C66D-400C-889E-C316FC4AB374}

AEFrequencyType - set to 2
(This calls AEFrequencyValue (below) which represents the number of minutes since any AE returned from VerifyUser successfully.)

AEFrequencyValue – set to 5
(Number of mins to delay timeout)

Then - Soft reboot the device[/B]

Initial tests appear that this works ok on my handset.

This post is for information only. I am not responsible for damage caused to your own handset. I am also not a developer, just someone who knows a little about computers etc. I hope that people find this information useful.

Thanks for the info but where is the "HKLM" folder to start with ?

Registry folder

Hi Chayen22,

You will need to install a registry editor onto the handset to access these settings. Have a look around on the forums to see what people use. I use one called Total Commander which also has many other useful features and tools.

If you are unsure of what you are doing it may be best speaking to someone you know who is good with Windows based computers. I'll also take this opportunity to say that I'll accept no responsibility for any damage caused when using registry editing tools on your phone. You make changes at your own risk.

I hope you find this info useful.
