Anonymous — Tue, 29 Dec 2015 23:34:54 GMT

Why has my fingure print scanner, locked me out of my phone. which in turn i had to do a factory reset resulting in loss of my telephone contacts . I have a few friends who have had the same problem with no anwser from 02 as to the reason why?, and all these problems added to the missed calls i recieve without phone even ringing and the poor signal strengts very poor service. I think i will be changing networks soon and phone brand.

This is a member to member forum. Have you tried talking to Samsung?

All your contacts should be backed up to Google....

Never use the finger print scanner now since it locked me out after having my hands in hot water for a while.

How old is the phone? You need to give Samsung a ring and speak to them... 0330 SAMSUNG (726 7864)

Mine has never failed me and you should have set up an emergency password too when you initially set up the fingerprint scan.

I fail to see how that would be O2's or Samsung's fault......?

Got to blame someone right? Your not suggesting that the OP could have taken some action to avoid this are you?

1. Everything should be backed up to Google and restored after a factory reset

2. A password backup is certainly needed in conjunction with a fingerprint scan.

That do?
