Please make sure that in the SD-card permission dialog you select the root of your SD-card and not any other folder. The root of SD-card is the highest level of folder structure where there is no parent folder left.
If you’re 100% confident that you selected the root of SD-card for granting permission than it may be some specific for your device restrictions. In this case use any available File Manager app to move your files from SD-card to your internal memory and then you can move these files into the Vault without SD-card permission since files on Internal memory do not need permission to move.
Any files deleted in the vault can not be recovered, there are no “trash can” or intermediate states. Be careful when you delete files.
You may try to use some apps which recover deleted files but it’s not guaranteed that they will help.
The fingerprint technology works on devices for the Android 6.0 and above which have fingerprint sensor. Please try our biometric signature technology instead. We believe you will love it.
Samsung devices with updated Android version from Lollipop 5 to Marshmallow 6 still doesn’t support Android Fingerprint API, which is a Samsung known bug.
If you updated your Android version from 5 to 6 it is your case.
You can uninstall the app by either going onto settings for myDeviceLock and uninstall or you can uninstall it by going to settings on the device and go to application manager. There you will find our app and you can easily uninstall it.
Our app is as most memory efficient as possible but not all apps are made like ours. So if you have modern quick device and you are experiencing lags and performance issues please check all apps you’ve installed on your device. Remove those which you are not using.
Even those which are not supposed to run on the background still consume memory. And those who run constantly on the background are definitely slowing your device.
In modern Android devices memory is automatically cleaned by the system and there is no need in special apps for that. Moreover, when they always keep memory clean without any cached objects it will take much more time to start apps.
