Tue, 24 Mar 2026 19:27:23 -0700

Fingerprint scanner not working after replacing. Android in-app tells me to go to g.co/pixel/fingerprintunlock which doesn't exist.

Google has a a fingerpint repair tool at https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/udfps but it says my firmware is too new for the tool.

Now I have no fingerprint scanner and I used it on all secure apps.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus: Power Button stopped responding. Phone will not turn on.

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 12:30:10 -0700

I have had this Samsung Galaxy Nexus for less than 3 months. Originally, it took about 20 presses to get the power button to respond, but now, nothing happens when I push it. The screen comes on when I connect the phone to power, and it shows the battery indicator, but nothing else happens. How can I fix this? This seems to be a common problem with the Samsung Nexus S, and now it's happening with the Galaxy Nexus.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus: How to stop the annoying moisture detected at the USB charging port.

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 13:14:49 -0700

Help! I have a three weeks old Galaxy S9+ and the notification of moisture detected at the USB charging port is keeping me from charging my phone and keeps alerting about the moisture. I live in Michigan so it’s not overly humid. This past weekend, it was rainy and humid and the darn phone wouldn’t let me plug in the fast charger. I didn’t have my wireless charger with me.

Is there something wrong with the phone? Should I return it to Best Buy and ask for an exchange or refund? Help I am conflicted. (By the way I switched from an iPhone 8 for a change of pace.)

Samsung Galaxy S4: No sound or mic during calls only.

Mon, 08 Jul 2024 13:35:25 -0700

So I've seen this problem on a few forums. The phone works fine unless you make a call. When you do, the mic and the speakers will not work. They function with any other application in the phone. The suggested fixes are firmware update (some claim this has worked) and the other is a reflow of the chip that handles the incoming calls(?). I know by the teardown which chip handles the sound on the board, but if anyone has encountered and fixed this issue before, could you give a brother a hand on where to aim the heat?
