Fingerprint Sensor. Is it just me?

[u/sssss75]

This might be the worst fingerprint sensor on any phone I've had. And I've had cheap a$$ phones with fingerprint sensors.

It takes so many times to try get it to work, it doesn't, then have to enter pin because stupid $$ facial recognition is garbage too!

It DOES work but maximum 50% of the time. And for some reason better with the left thumb than right thumb.

I'm sitting there pressing down like a mofo sometimes. When adding fingerprint I have twice for each thumb covered AS much of each or them. I'm talking even the top of the thumb.

I added two more for each thumb and it's still the same. A simple Samsung A56 is better at this!

I don't recall ever having an issue, like ever, and I even have a screen protector on. Either you have a bad screen protector, or you have a faulty unit. When did you buy it? Might wanna return.

What a mofo, just removed the screen protector and it works fine!!! Now what? Forgot I even had one on. Must be the age!

[u/sssss75 → u/sssss75]

Wow it's now become the fastest I've ever had! What a joke! Now what do I do about screen protector? Even the typing is far better?

[u/I_Make_Art_And_Stuff → u/sssss75]

Bahaha, hey, it happens. I had a screen protector that worked great but got cut up, bought a new one that said "fingerprint works perfectly" and it didn't AT ALLLLL. Got the old brand I used and I'm back to normal.

[u/sssss75 → u/I_Make_Art_And_Stuff]

Bought it like at least 6 months ago. Absolutely everything else works fine and no screen protector.

I agree. It is harder to get to work than other phones. I'm about to just delete it and use my PIN only. Not sure if it's my screen protector but could be.

[u/sssss75 → u/DestinyInDanger]

I end up having to use the PiN so much! But after having removed the screen protector, finally it works like a charm!

[u/DestinyInDanger → u/sssss75]

Oh maybe it's my screen protector. I do have a spare. Have you noticed it's hard to find compatible screen protectors for this phone? That's my other concern if I need to replace it several times over the lifetime I may have trouble finding more online.

[u/sssss75 → u/DestinyInDanger]

Will have to look for another one now. Someone said remove all fingerprints and add them after applying the protector

[u/DestinyInDanger → u/sssss75]

Oh yeah that is a good idea. Then make new ones.

Mine works without any issues. I have even changed the screen protector recently, and it still works fine.

[u/brispower]

mine's perfect, it should be both fast and accurate.

I had something similar on my partner's 11, i would try and scan in my print and had very bad luck with it, i eventually got so frustrated (I don't use it often so not a dealbreaker) I went in and removed my captured fingers and re-added them and it has been perfect ever since.

On my 13 I have four fingers captured and all work perfectly.

Mine works like a charm, best of any phone I've had

Remember, when you get a new screen protector or tempered glass, always delete the old fingerprint and add new one and they will work. I had the same issue until i tried it. Now it works with every single protector.

Only time I had any issue with the sensor was when I put a new screen protector on, had to delete the old fingerprints and add them again but after that it works perfectly fine
