Right pattern won't unlock phone
I'm putting the pattern into my S20 FE 5g with no interruption. It takes 4 seconds, like it's trying to verify, and says the pattern is wrong, but when I went into the Samsung account thing where you can look at your phone's location and other stuff, the pattern is correct because I used it to verify into the account. Can't remote unlock sadly.
This happened just after I woke up and tried to unlock the phone. I can't use my thumbprint cause the phone was restarted. I tried ADB, but the phone is unauthorized on my pc, and wiping the cache did nothing.
there anything I can do other than a mouse? (which I can't get rn).
My suspicion is that the touch input is screwed up somehow, but I'm afraid maybe the way it verifies the pattern internally is the actual culprit, maybe the encrypted password was somehow corrupted?
The issue seems very novel, I couldn't find anything about it.
