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.

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

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.

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