Fingerprint scanner plus transparent back cover bought directly from Samsung don't really work together.  With small fingers you could barely reach f scanner.  The  case is to thick and hold for scanner to small.    Scanner position on the back forced me quite often to pick up the phone from car cradle when driving just to unlock it. S7 edge was much more user friendly at this matter.  Iris recognition.... well not the best idea to use It to unlock yj phone when driving.  It doesn't work in horizontal position anyway.  Face recognition.  Not helpful when driving or outdoors as well.    So is there any universal or at least robust and easy solution.    Well I for example in the car use a blank NFC card glued to ph one cradle.  Cheap and simple solution.  Simply add that NFC card as a trusted device in smart lock settings.    ...

Good afternoon xxxxxx, I hope you are well.   xxxxxx16:24:39 Yes. Can you connect me to the rep i spoke before?   Emily16:25:22 I can't connect you to them but I can carry on from where you left off.

He adked me to boot in.download more to get some information. xxxxxx. xxxxxx xxxxxx. xxxxxx username xxxxxx   Emily16:28:19 Great, thank you. Please bear with me. So what is the problem sorry?   xxxxxx:30:44 Let me explain slowly. Firstly are you familiar with part of firmware called CSC? ? Three UK has CSC :H3G. General UK is BTU or XEU Germany CSC is FOR And so called multi CSC for Europe is OXM Hold on Let me finish   Emily16:34:42 Did you perform the software check sorry? What did it say next to the three headings? That's fine.   xxxxxx 16:36:14 Original CSC was H3G. As usual I flashed official Samsung firmware (that's what testers and community supporters do to be able to help others and report bugs ere. The o e The one I flashed is BTU. BUT IT HAD A MULTI CSC FILE SO my country sales code (CSC) changed to DBT(germany) Splay because it's the first code on the list inside file. There is no option to choose Which CSC I wish to use during flashing. So no option really to go back to either H3G or BTU XEU CSC So now I'm asking. What to do to go back to XEU BTU or H3G. Of course simply I can root the phone but that's not a solution. And there are already many unhappy users ( Some really upset beta testers like me). We expect to get straight forward answer. It's us who sacrificed our s7 edge Samsung's for android 7 beta testing. And now we're stuck with s8 which CSC code IS RUBBISH.
