Warning about finger print sensor!

After swiping my finger a little bit of the black over the finger print sensor came off and exposed some gold color and I thought "oh great that looks horrible".  So I used my fingernail and scratched off the rest of the black and now it's bare and gold, I thought "hey that looks nice like that".  Well sure, it looks great but now the fingerprint sensor doesn't work.  Like at all, won't scroll, won't unlock, nothing.  So if the sticker or whatever they put over the fingerprint sensor starts to come off on yours just deal with it, don't know what they expect you to do when it starts to come off because once it starts every time you swipe across it it will pull off more.  Any idea who I can call about this?  I bought it off amazon.com

I wondered why the two had different coloured scanner buttons, figured it was just the packing tape they had plastered all over the phone when it was new and they had missed that piece for pictures lol.

Wow ghostface, this is a concern isn't it, On mine, the scanner window appears to be a smoked black plastic in the very center, is this where you are talking about, I kinda assume it is as thats the window portion..

I can't see a lip or anything on mine that would lead me to believe its a sticker still there, wow it must be on good or paint perhaps.

Have you tried playing with the sensor settings an seeing if turning up or down the sensitivity would help or not, Idk reaching there but, this is a concern for everyone here.

Well that bites hard and is possibly bad news for others.

I'm an old mech, my skin's not the smoothest what are you a mason or a carpenter by chance lol.

In any case, I am sorry to hear your troubles Ghostface, I hope they don't pull a warranty knee-jerk reaction on you.

In another thread, theres reference from a person from Authen-tec claiming Expo's issues are with the antenna, lol, maybe their using smoke an mirrors and trying to skirt an issue with their part they supply themselves..

SO, we'll all wait to hear what happens from this, my fingers are crossed for you.

WR

It confuses you lol oops..

I, am a auto-mechanic with poor skin texture and or missing at times, the trades that are usually worse then mine on your hands are usually Mason's, Cement workers, and Carpenters.

They each respectively turn to cement or wood after years of work in the field lol.

I was wondering if you had skin like 60grit sandpaper or not, lol.

Im Sorry!

Someone lucky just got a new a phone. Congrats man, especially snce return policies on phones usually suck

@ ghostface Look your replacement phone over very carefully form Amazon. After waiting for a month for a replacement for my phone they sent me what was supposed to be a brand new phone. I noticed that the shipping tape that goes around the edges of the phone had fingerprints underneath the tape, in the battery compartment there were fingerprints, but most disturbing of all was that the keyboard area had black paint peeling off the plastic! It was obviously some sort of refurb. When I called Amazon and told them of the condition of the phone, and that it was not a new phone as promissed. The rep said "Oh sorry for that sometimes we grab the wrong item for shipping". After much discussion, they agreed to take the phone back, but I'm still stuck with my original phone that won't sync to my PC via USB. I can deal with it for now but I'm still pissed.

I've tried that already with no additional apps installed and it didn't work.
I can sync with no problems using bluetooh. I also use an app called WiFi Remote Access
I can live with that for now, just worried if I ever flash a new ROM, I don't think I can do it via wireless or BT
