Photo Button Not Always Taking Photo

Here is a screenshot of what happens sometimes when I try to take a photo. You are undoubtedly right that I am doing something inadvertently but I'll be darned if I know what it is. This can be very annoying especially when trying to take a photo of a child or a dog or something else that doesn't hold still.

Fingerprint leak - via apps above

I wonder whether this is a Samsung bug, since I'd expect the system to ask for a password before opening an app or when you tried to leave the app (as phones with lockscreen shortcuts to the camera used to do). Certainly any attempt to access any app from my notifications brings up the PIN dialogue.

The obvious workaround is to edit your shortcuts and remove the QR scanner from them. And maybe let Samsung know that they've left a loophole.

Found the answer after posting. Never mind!

For any future users trying to find a solution, below is the original post and what appears to be the solution (checking the user account in keep).
My Android Keep app recently updated. The update wiped the notes I had on my phone! I can see my old notes in my Google account online. How do I get them back on my phone?

Googling my problem doesn't produce any results. Can I be the only one with this problem?

BTW: I was a software developer before I retired. I can't believe Google hires idiots who don't keep the data when updating software. I'm glad they are not in charge of my financial software.

Never mind, the update set my keep notes to another, blank account on my phone when it updated. I can't seem to find a way to delete this thread.

Stock recovery.img for Symphony V32 5.1.1 HW2_V17xxx

The other day I was flashing a twrp on my symphony v32 while it got stuck in bootloop. I also happen to be unable to access the recovery option as when I click on it, it stops there for a couple of seconds and restarts into bootloop..
Apparently I don't happen to have the stock rom and as such the recovery.img...and I know it's available on the net, I unfortunately don't happen to have that much of bandwidth atm to download nor do I have space to store the firmware.zip....Hope that anyone would be kind enough to download and extract the recovery.img. I could use fastboot to flash the recovery.img into my phone c:

I suggest you post the URL to the firmware ZIP, so that someone who has the bandwidth maybe able to download, extract the required IMG file, and upload it somewhere like Drive.

White circle icon

Thank you for your reply. I understand what you’re saying. The problem is that the phone is my grandads and no one in our family has an Android. We’re all iPhone users so figuring out these things calls for google or forums!
yeah no worries......it should be accessible in your phone settings by going to settings>notifications>and just look for the symbol in the list. if it is not there then you should be able to pull down the notification bar on the home screen and see what the icon is.

Root Kyocera Hydro Reach Has Been Rooted But Still Need Some Help

I have tried the cm launcher but there are other things inside that launcher and there are ads also. And I just want to change the app icons now in the drawer and am still trying to figure out how. Plus the icons I did find that I liked didn't have the full set of icons I needed even for basic apps. Which sucked so I remove the icon set. Wish they had the full set of icons but nope. So now I will still need to find the full set of icons and then still figure out how to change the drawer icons.
