Samsung Android Firmware Updates

Samsung’s Galaxy A50 has been quite the success story in the past year, selling brilliantly in markets around the world.Now however, it's facing an issue as a recent firmware update has hindered the fingerprint registration process. Galaxy A50 users running on firmware versions A505FNXXS3ASK9 and A505FDDS3ASK8 are claiming that they can no longer register new fingerprints.

For some, the enrollment process stops working at around the 41% mark and prompts them to make sure the sensor area is clean. Others manage to complete the whole process but the phone then rejects the newly enrolled fingerprints.
