sabuj, 21 Mar 2017actually my a5 16 fingerprint isn't working properly...I tried it many way sometimes it work s... morePlease do not use any third party launcher. Stick to the TouchWiz skin. Second go to setting and delete all the old fingerprint data at once. Now set your left and right thumb as the fingerprint sensor lock. For the third fingerprint use the thumb of a family member as back up. In case something happens to you he/she can access the device. Also when setting up the fingerprint lock, take your full time and do it with care. Normally it takes about few minutes per finger but it is worth it. Also when you use your fingerprint to unlock the device. And sure it is clean of oil, water or any sticky substance like guns, wheat etc. I hope my advice will work and you have better experience with the device if not than you have to visit a nearby Samsung service center.

Vineet, 01 Mar 2017Go to play store in settings and stop aut matic and new app updetsThank you for your reply!
It's not the apps, it's the android system. I disabled the auto download, but it still checks and keeps telling to update on the notifications and on the configs, until I update.

AnonD-542833, 01 Mar 2017What updates your talking about? I mean apps updates or OS Updates? You can go to settings》abo... moreThank you for your reply!
The problem is android updates, not apps. I have disabled the auto download, and the android do not download updates, but it still checks for updates, and keeps telling me that "there's a new version... update now... bla bla", it keeps annoying me until I do.
Actually, a lot of things in this device are annoying: it keeps telling me to save battery when it still have 30% (should be on 10% or maybe never...), telling me to save data usage but I have a unlimited data package, even if I am using wifi, and I cannot disable those notifications because they're system apps, the option to disable notifications does not exist on then.
If it helps, my android is 6.0.1 (MMB29K.A510MUBS3BQB2)

zaj, 16 Mar 2017I simply cant trust samsungs anymore if their flagship battery (note 7) is defective, how much... moreNote 7 was a different case. It's battery has problem which was built by other suppliers. You can read authentic reviews of Lenevo devices where many reported that their devices blasted when they are using them, which is more dangerous as it happened with multiple models. Also any one can now a days blast a battery by overcharging it. So stop blaming Samsung. Here in India Samsung is the number 1 company and the mid range device are very popular. I got 4 galaxy in my house including J7 Prime, A5 (2016), On 7 pro and J Max. And I don't think any one of them will blast unless I intend to blast them.

AnonD-542833, 15 Mar 2017First of all please don't wait till the battery gets 20 or 30% low. Second if your device is b... morethats horrible considering you have to be always mindful to keep it above 20% or it shuts down for good without reason. Samsung as usual with their battery blunders. If that joke of a battery on the note 7 flagship is defective, how can we trust the battery on their mid range phones and the lower ends?

AnonD-338263, 15 Mar 2017Automatically shuts off below 20 percent.this is the main problem in this phone.any solution?First of all please don't wait till the battery gets 20 or 30% low. Second if your device is below 30 or 25, and you can't Recharge the battery than activate battery saving mode. As for battery draining I agree the A5 (2016) drains faster than my On7 Pro or J7 Prime. But I hope with 7 update situation will improve. Regards.
