    Thread Fingerprint scanner doesn't work in the evening

    I bought 9t pro 5 days ago. Every day since then at about 7 pm and until morning my fingerprint scanner practically stops working. I've seen about 3 other mentions of this on the internet so far. I thought it was because of night/reading more since it's when it starts, but even with disabled...

    Thread Syncing and backing up to Samsung servers doesn't work

    Whenever I try to sync and back up I always get a network error. It only works for the very first time after flashing a new firmware, after that - no. What can be the problem?

    Thread Google Maps NetworkLocationLocator Wakelocks

    Yesterday night my phone lost 30% (with wifi on). It was brutal, it's been awake more often than not. I've installed wake lock detector and it shows that Gmaps' NetworkLocationLocator is the main culprit (see screens). Tonight was better (lost 10%) and no awake lines in the battery manager but...

    Thread [Q] Google Now keyboard pops up

    Hey guys, when I go to Google Now page the keyboard pops up all the time and covers half of the screen. I don't think it was like this when I bought it so probably I changed some settings. Where can I revert it back?

    Thread [Q] How do I exclude certain directories from being scanned by gallery?

    I've bought a microSD card and uploaded my music to it. Opened gallery and found a folder for every single music album with CD art inside. I certainly don't need this in my gallery, how do I remove them and force gallery not to scan my entire phone and SD card?

    Thread Is anyone going to get SGP's Screen Protector GLAS.tR SLIM?

    http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-screen-protector-glas-tr-slim-premium-tempered-glass.html Hope someone can test it. I'd like to get it but it caused all sorts of problems on Xperia Z. As S4 has a ton of sensors I wonder how it's going to cope.

    Thread AMOLED pixels burn in/out wtf?

    Read some bits about AMOLED screens' problems with pixels dying or displaying ghost images of different screens etc. I'm looking to get an S4 for 3-4 years, do you think its screen would last so long without those problems?

    Thread [Q] Is it safe to preorder? (first batches faulty etc?)

    Hey guys. My Xperia Z was stolen from the delivery package so if I get my money and by the time I get them the obvious choice to buy would be Galaxy S4. I was really impressed with it and really don't get the hate it gets from a lot of people. So, is it safe to preorder it or buy very soon...

    Thread [Q] Will using a custom launcher remove blinkfeed?

    I guess it should, but maybe one of those who got their phones already can confirm this.

    Thread Exmor R or Exmor RS? Possible to check?

    Just seen some tweet stating that Sony is supplying Europe with older worse Exmor R sensors. The dude's probably a troll but it still got me worrying slightly. Is there any way to check the sensor model?

    Thread [Q] Xperia Z charger amperage

    Can anyone with this device check the charger details (printed on the side of it)? Is it 1500 mah? And another question, will it be ok to use a third party charger and which amperage should I use if I can't find 1500? 1000 or 2000?
