EliteBook 8570p Fingerprint Sensor Issue and Windows 8 and 8.1 Built-In Biometric Framework

Hello there,
i'm currently testing the Preview Build of Windows 8.1 on my HP EliteBook 8570p and have a small Problem using the Fingerprint... but back to start...
In Windows 8 there wheren't any microsoft builtin biometric framework, to get the fingerprint there you have to install the hp security protect manager, and the validity Fingerprint Driver from here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=de&cc=de&prodTypeId=32...
the actual version that the site above state is this: 4.4.228.0 (31 Okt 2012)
the filename of the fingerprint driver should be this: sp59624.exe
exactly this is what i download, but then upon extracting and "older?" SP-Number appears? -> SP58152 ????
Driver should have Win8 support, but on installing it it just says it supports Win7 max... another hint that the driver packet is wrong packed...
this is the first thing what is very strange, even, the driver won't install automatically... just manuall, this is also a non WBF (Windows Biometric Framework) driver, so ne built-in fingerprint support of win 8.1 does not work.. indeed with the hp security manager... but when using the fingerprint login there i see just ugly Windows Vista branded Loginmasks... not a real choice..
after a bit of google seach i then found a new version of the validty fingerprint driver, but this is not listet in the 8570p Model download page... just found it with the help of google..
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=de&lc=de&dlc=de&softwareitem=ob-109892-1
this one have a newer version: 4.4.234.0 (2012-09-07)
interessting thing about this... newer version, but older release date... ?!
and it is a WBF driver, voila, i thought...
installing the driver via the device manager (VFS451) and Windows 8.1 is able to scan fingers for login or credentials requests... works quite well... until first reboot... sadly after the first reboot, windows just continously means that a finger is getting swyped acrous the fingerprint reader, but it isn't...
after deinstalling the device, and reinstalling it (and driver) the fingerprint reader works again still the next reboot...
any help is appreciated and HP PLEASE do something about all the issues with the fingerprint readers even in Windows 8 (and/or correct the download)

I have a iPhone 5s fell into the water and damaged fingerprint sensor motion and lines of light appeared on the screen, but it still works and did not hurt anything else Can I replace it with a new phone

No. The warranty does not cover damage.
You can only get a replacement if you can talk Apple into selling you and out of warranty replacement.

Elitebook 8560p Fingerprint Sensor Headaches

Hello all,
I am a new forum user and new owner of an HP Elitebook 8560p notebook. I purchased the laptop second-hand from a shop near my house. I had to clean the dust out of the inside and repaste the processor, oil the fan as well, but now my machine is working great. I have the core i5 model.
Here is my issue:
Bringing the notebook home, I powered it up and during the boot process there were weird checksum validations and things did not go fluidly, but it did boot into Windows 7. The weirdness (specifics not important) led me to believe that the notebook was running an illegally obtained copy of Windows. I proceeded to attempt to 'Restore Factory Defaults', which did not work (various errors, I believe the Recovery partition to be corrupted), and so I clean installed my own legit copy of Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Installation smooth, had already downloaded the Broadcom Wifi driver and installed it via USB. Installed all other drivers successfully, updated the bios, etc. Everything works great, except that in the device manager, there is still an 'Unknown Device'. Okay, no problem.. I right click, go into driver details and attempt to ascertain the Hardware ID (the typical way to find unknown drivers), and under the Hardware Ids tab it also says 'Unknown Device'.
After thinking about it, I realized there was no biometrics tab in the device manager and no way to run the fingerprint sensor (one of the most exciting features of this laptop for me). Now, I know this sounds cliche, but I've tried... everything.
Tried a hard reset, discharging all of the flea power and restoring BIOS defaults. Nothing. I tried a BIOS rollback and then a Scan for new hardware in device manager. Nothing. I have installed and uninstalled SO MANY versions of the Validity driver, to no avail. Have installed HP ProtectTools and uninstalled multiple times with no success. I've tried so many combinations of installs, restarts, uninstalls, device manager scans, etc. Lots of websites, and threads on this forum, have different fixes and procedures that have worked for others with this or similar Elitebook/probook models...none of them work for me.
I thought I was getting closer earlier when I read somewhere that the hardware recognition is dependent on certain windows services being enabled (Cred Manager, RPC, Windows Biometrics), so I enabled them and set them to startup automatically. Next, I enabled all Biometrics related Group Policies. Restarted, uninstalled the 'Unknown Device', reinstalled Validity drivers, tried several scans for hardware, all kinds of stuff. Nothing. Nothing at all. Still no Biometrics tab, just an unknown USB device, and I'm ready to punch myself unconscious.
Am I missing something? Did one of the Windows Updates (there were like 170 to install when I clean installed Ultimate 64 bit) ruin my fingerprint sensor's functionality? How do I get this to work?
Killing me. Can't use one of the coolest components of my machine, and every time I wake from sleep or boot up from cold I get the unknown device popup constantly reminding me of my failure.
Typically, with any tech issue I just google and google until I can get it done myself. I've never joined a forum to ask questions or inquire for help before in my life, but this...... this has me stumped. Any advice/suggestions/known fixes appreciated. MODS- if this is in the wrong forum I apologize, and feel free to move it to the appropriate subforum.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: This notebook is 1 year out of warranty, so suggesting HP support is useless.

Proximity Sensor Issues and Signal Issues

I've had my N3 for about 3 months now I think. I don't know if I was just really in love with it at first or if it's actually consistently getting worse. I think it's getting worse, because I still love it, sometimes.
The most annoying issue just started in the last few weeks. I've read about a lot of other people having this same issue as well so I know it's not just me. When making a call and putting the phone to my ear, typically the screen turns off as it should. Then moving the phone away at the end of the call and the screen comes back on. Well now it doesn't come back on. I have to physically push a button to get the screen back on so I can end the call. Last night I made an a call and put the phone to my face and it didn't turn off either. This makes for particularly awkward periods of time where you can't say anything because you can still hear the other person on the phone and can't get your to hang up. Very annoying when you're in a hurry because you stepped out to answer a call or something. This also seems to be a well documented problem.
The more persistent issue started a while back with the software update that claimed to "Improve Connectivity" in November I think it was. I spend a lot more time without 4G since this update. I live in a big-ish city and I never had so many issues losing 4G with my Droid Charge. But now I frequently drop 4G and go back to 3G or quite frequently down to 1X. This is particularly common in buildings, which I understand could present issues but we're talking about 1 story buildings, 20 feet or so from the front wall which is mostly windows. I often can't use my phone inside at all unless theres wifi. On a recent road trip we stopped at a gas station and my wife pulls out her S4 and checks facebook, sends some messages, checks her email, etc. I pull out my phone and have no signal AT ALL. Can't even text or make a call, have the circle with a line through it. After several minutes of fumbling through turning mobile data on and off, airplane mode on and off I finally get a bar and a 1X connection.
This is a practically brand new $300 (only because I signed a contract, really what $600?) phone that I can't rely on to make phone calls while a mile off the interstate at a gas station? I don't expect 4G there maybe, but phone calls.. yeah that should work. Everywhere. Alright maybe not the backwoods of Idaho or something, but if you're within earshot of the main interstate through a state you should be able to make phone calls.
Very Frustrated,
Phillip

So I guess no one from Verizon actually reads or responds to messages here?
This is a peer-to-peer forum; VZW reps occasionally respond to threads marked as a question (this one wasn't, unfortunately), but they don't respond to every post and it's sometimes days after a post is left. And re-posting in a new thread to mark it as a question is against the forum's Terms of Service since it's a duplicate post.
Service isn't guaranteed in buildings. One thing you can try (especially when you're traveling) is turn off the phone, wait a minute or two, then turn the phone back on and allow it to re-establish a network connection. That allows the SIM card to automatically update the Preferred Roaming List (PRL), which may help. If it doesn't, try turning off the phone, removing the SIM card (be careful not to touch the gold contacts), then re-insert the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and allow it to re-establish a network connection. If that doesn't help, you could try a new SIM card (they're free at your local Corporate Verizon store).

Is the fingerprint sensor really a fingerprint sensor?

I'm confused.
I'm sure many of you have seen those videos of a man unlocking his iPhone 5S with his nipple with the fingerprint sensor and another using his cat's paw to do the same.
If the sensor is as what Apple says... a fingerprint sensor reading and storing our fingerprint data, how is this possible? Since I'm thinking that there is no fingerprint pattern there.
Unless the sensor is just a glorified scanner, taking pictures of the pattern of the skin and then just comparing the two images.
Appreciate any feedback?
Thanks.

The finger print reader just takes high resolution pictures of what ever you set up on touch Id so if they are putting it up to whatever they choose it will just take a high resolution picture of that and then when they try to use it, touch I'd will just compare the picture they used to setup with touch id with the picture they are trying to sign in and if it is a match then it will unlock

Windows 8.1 Fingerprint Sensor Driver not working - Fixed my issue

When I upgraded to Win 8.1 the finger print sensor wasn't working. I had the correct drivers installed. What fixed the issue was upgrading the hardware driver in the Device Manager program, under Biometrics. Highlight the Validity listing, choose upgrade driver, choose selet from a list, choose the latest driver which will have a higher number obviously. My fingerprint sensor is now working!

Unfortunately HP couldn't figure it out when I called them. They installed the same drivers I already tried several times. After I hung up, I figured to update the actual Validity Driver under Biometrics in the Device Manager section. That fixed my issue. I think HP techs need to be trained a bit more thoroughly. So Kudos goes to me.

Fingerprint sensor not working for Windows 7 login

I recently re-installed my Windows 7 Bit and also installed ThinkVantage Client Security Solution v8.30.0049 together with ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software 5.9.5 on my T410s.
I enrolled some fingerprints without a problem and checked the setting "User fingerprint scan instead of password when logging into Windows". In the Windows login screen I see an icon for fingerprint login and the green light next to my fingerprint sensor is turned-on expecting the scan.
However, when I scan my finger, the green light blinks once, pauses, and then blinks a second time. Nothing else happens. I do not get logged into Windows. Any idea what the issue may be?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you're logging into a domain, then you need to configure windows to allow domain logon with a fingerprint.
type "change biometric settings" into the start menu

FingerPrint Sensor/Software not working right with Windows XP Pro SP3

Hi All,
I have a 3 month old Satellite Pro S300-S2504 (2.4 GHz CPU, 3 GB RAM, Bluetooth, firewire - was a custom build with most of the options I could get). The O/S installed was/is Vista Business. It came with a dowgrade XP Pro SP3 disc as well.
I bought a second hard drive - swapped it with the original and installed Windows XP Pro on it - having grown tired of Vista. I don't intend to keep both O/S's - but I didn't want to mess with what I had until I got XP working - and that's the reason I got the second hard drive for XP. Anyway, XP Pro is installed and working except the fingerprint sensor. As soon as I booted for the first time - with nothing but the factory everything installed, it prompted me to register fingers for the sensor. I tried but I got a database not found error followed by a sensor not working error. I got the latest updates for the fingerprint sensor, removed what I had - rebooted and installed the newer program - I got the same error. I then uninstalled the program again, went through the registry and removed all entries whose key had TrueSuite in it, rebooted and installed the latest version again - rebooted - and got the same errors. Looking in Device Manager, the sensor is working fine but once I try to register a finger and it fails, I then look in Device Manager and the sensor has a yellow error indicator. I used System Restore to go back to the original configuration and then tried the Fingerprint drivers/patches for Vista and for Windows 7. All of them installed but I got the same database not found error followed by the fingerprint sensor not working error.
I did end the program, then using Task Manager, I ran the Fingerprint utility as administrator - still got the same errors. I've completely reinstalled from the Windows XP restore CD four times trying to solve this and I can't get the fingerprint reader to register fingerprints - I always get that error.
I have a lot of graphic editing (movies) software as well as file conversion programs and a very stable version of Roxio Easy Media Creator that all works fine in Windows XP - but it all has problems running in Vista and I'm tired of the bugs that Vista seems have - and I want to use Windows XP Pro. I will try any suggestions. The fingerprint sensor and software works reliably in Vista. I even updated it and that went fine. I suspect there's a problem with the XP version of the software for my computer. I did notice that Toshiba doesn't sell the this model series with XP downgrade as an option anymore. I wonder if this is one of the reasons.
Anyway - I would very much appreciate help with this. Any ideas at all are welcome.
Thanks,
Dennis

Satellite Pro M10-S405
..a clean Win XP Pro install and it still doesnt work.There is a Win Xp key on the bottom of the laptop, but I cant seem to use it.
The Product Key that comes with the computer is useless to activate a retail installation. You would need to purchase a new one or convice Microsoft that an old one is no longer in use.
In the device manager it shows
Ethernet Controller
Multimedia Audio Controller
Network Controller
Unknown Device needing Drivers. I have searched and downloaded drivers and installed them but it still doest work.
Get the drivers from here.
Install the chipset utility first, followed by the display driver. Be sure to install the common modules prior to any Toshiba utilities, including power management.

Windows 8.0 and Windows 10 technical review installation issues and activation message keeps poping up?

My Dell Inspiron E1705 had Windows Vista and I could not install the Windows 10 technical review, so I installed my Windows 8.0 and then I could install the Win10 tech review.So I'm reviewing the Win10 and now I keep getting a pop up screen with Windows
asking to activate so to get ride of the messages popping up every boot up. I am attempting to activate but when I follow the instructions to activate entering the product key from the Windows 8.0 fails. I next select call and provide your installation ID,
this process is you call in and an automated prompt ask for your installation ID, then it gives you some numbers to enter in groups A thru H, but my screen only shows A thru G? My concern is that if I don't activate this windows it will stop and thus
no review of Win10.
Should I be concerned is activation necessary, Do I re-install Win10 and start over, I feel that I may have inadvertently caused the problem when I did the initial installation it ask if I wanted to keep information from the previous installed Windows 8
or install clean? If I don't get any other options/solutions I may just do a clean install?
Thanks in advance for your support.
/Joe

Hi Joe,
So the situation here is you upgrade Windows 8 to Windows 10, and Windows 10 can't be activated?
There is no need to activate Windows 10 in the Technical Preview period, and if you have issue activating Windows, you may try to run:
1. Open Administrative command prompt (Windows key+x > A)
2. Type: SLUI 3
3. Enter the product key listed on the download site.
And if you still get the activation issue, please contact Microsoft local license support team for further assistance.

Compatibility issue with windows XP and windows 8.1 for adobe photoshop elements 4.0?comcom

You are going to have to contact Adobe on this one. We are other users.
Sounds like it's not even an Apple question? Not sure.
But the Adobe program changed, nothing changed in iTunes, right?

I have Adobe CS4..... now when I want to print my picture, I get the message "Adobe CS4 has stopped working, sending issue to windows and then disappears.... nothing can print anymore...Help??

Try updating the printer driver.

Major Issues with Windows XP and Sound Blaster Audig

As mentioned in the post title, I'm using a Sound Blaster Audigy 4 card (recently purchased) and am having issues with Windows XP apparently because of it. When the card is physically installed, but the drivers are not, there are no problems. However, when the drivers are installed, Windows XP's "explorer.exe" crashes on boot, locking up the start menu and any other open windows. Now, I can manually end the explorer.exe application and then reboot it, and things will work... however, I cannot imagine that that is the intended functionality of this card. Additionally, I suspect the card in the failure of a game (Eve Online) but I would assume the issues are related. I've already narrowed the issue down to the Sound Blaster drivers. I've tried booting with the SB drivers but without the video card drivers, and the problem recurred. Every time I boot with the SB drivers installed, it fails. Without them, things seem to run normally. If it helps, I'm using an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 processor, with GB of DDR800 RAM. I've installed Windows Service Pack 2 and all the other updates. The video card is a Geforce 7950 GT, with the latest NVidia Forceware (93.7) drivers. I've had this problem with both the Audigy drivers on the CD that came with the card and the newest ones downloaded from this website. My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, which includes onboard sound hardware, but I have disabled it at the BIOS level. I can provide dxdiag information or anything like that if necessary. Does anyone have any advice, suggestions, or have you encountered a similar problem?Message Edited by DerekKatz on 2-04-200603:2 AM

Thanks for the helpful reply Dan
I ran the file, CTZAPXX.exe, like suggested, and it ran without a problem. It installed the files and even required me to reboot my computer!!
However, after a computer restart, I am still in the same boat. Codecs are installed, but the location of the device is "unknown". In Device manager, there are no unknown devices; it shows the codecs in the sound tab, but no actual hardware; as if my sound card does not exist.
I use my computer for music, and my buddy needs me tomorrow night to play some music stored on my computer. I really do appreciate the help I am offered. I do not mean to sound impatient, but I really need this device fixed, or I will have to have him buy me a sound card....
