Hi guys,
Recently I been forced to reboot my phone daily cause my fingerprint unlock stop working after a very long vibration. This normally happen when I put the finger in wrong position and ask me to try again.
Anyone have same issue or know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Hey guys,
Recently, I've been having issues with my fingerprint sensor/unlock screen. Sometimes when I pull my phone out of my pocket and attempt to unlock the phone witht he fingerprint sensor, it won't respond. I then press the power button, which turns the screen on and when I use the fingerprint sensor, i can feel the vibration from the button but the screen does not unlock. There is also no fingerprint icon at the bottom. I can't unlock by swiping and putting in my password either. This eventually fixes itself after 30-45 seconds, but its really annoying when I want to use my phone. I've tried switching launchers, thinking that this might have been the problem, but this did not fix it.
I'm running stock OxygenOS 4.1.6, kernel [email protected] #1. I'm using the google launcher currently.
Its something to do with the light sensor cause i have it happen at night time when i am listening to podcasts in bed, it comes up to press one of the volume buttons and back to bypass it - but after 10 seconds it lets you unlock it anyway?
Pocket mode, try turning that off. Pocket mode uses the proximity sensor (I think) to detect whether it's in a pocket or not. If it is, then the fingerprint scanner will refuse to work so as to prevent accidental touches in the pocket
Turned it off last night. It's still happening. And it happens even when the phone is sitting on my desk. I go to try and unlock it and it won't respond.3
Delete and reset them. I find it happens after a month or so of use. I'm on Sultans marshmallow.
Originally when it happened I thought the ROM had gone bonkers and flashed back to stock. I missed the battery life too much on the CM13 build so I tried his marshmallow again. And guess what? It happed again. So I just deleted them and reset my fingerprints and voila! Snappy again.
Let me know if it works for you!
Just delete your current fingerprints and reset them. Should become snappy once again.
Happened to one of my friends and that's how I fixed it for him.
Cheers.
Never had issues with. Maybe you use it wrong side of finger, i mean you must unlock with you finger horizontally and not vertically finger

My phone has started acting wonky, not only with the finger print sensor but sometimes the touchscreen will become unresponsive, but I'll be able to turn the screen on or off. I'll have to try resetting tonight.
Hey everyone,
I just changed the screen (with the full assembly) on my P10 and I have a weird problem with the fingerprint sensor.
I can add new fingerprints just fine, and if I try to set the same finger 2 times I get a message saying I've already saved this fingerprint. But, I can't seem to unlock my screen with the scanner. The screen wakes up when I scan my finger but the phone doesn't unlock even if the option is activated in the options.
I really don't know what to do.
Same problem here, is software related problem. Try to do a factory RESET. In my p10 was solved on the pie update.
I bought my mi 9 2 days ago and it all worked fine. But today I've noticed that sometimes it will not register a touch, it stays as a fingerprint icon. Also, there was about 2 times it froze, like the icon froze while it was scanning, I had to unlock the phone by pin to get rid of it. Sometimes, I also notice that I have to press multiple times to get it to read, my finger is dead centre of the reader, but I still have to touch it multiple times. Anyone having the same issue or has a solution?
I also deleted and reregistered my finger multiple times. I'm on 10.2.13.0, btw.
I had this too until I added the same finger multiple times. Add the finger you are most comfortable with using as many times as you can.
When I do this it works almost every time, perhaps 19 out of 20.
10.2.13 here too.
I am able to reproduce the problem most of the times: having the phone in my pocket, I take it out and try to unlock. The reader does not respond, or it just lights and goes off cyclically as if it was retrying, yet no retry notification. If I doubletap to activate lock screen, it works like a charm.
Activating the rotation gesture to activate the unlock screen mitigates this, but other problems arise. If the phone is on the table, the only solution is to doubletap or to hit power to activate the unlock screen.
I read somewhere that it is a wakelock issue. I deoptimized the energy in the biometrics app via miappa, but the problem is still there.
Any solution?

Why my galaxy m31 fingerprint unlock wont work after a period of inactivity?? It only works when i wake up the screen by pressing lock key or by double tapping the screen,after waking up the screen the fingerprint unlock works flawlessly! It's my new phone and my 1st samsung phone, having a BAD BAD experience for this issue. I've never faced such issue with any other phones even on much low end phones that i used in my life.
I'm tired of surfing the web for the solution and hopping on forum to forum but of no use, can anybody help me out here?? I'm hopeless. Please help me out!

Hello, Try to reset the settings, and setup the fingerprint unlock again, hope you find your answer :fingers-crossed:
I'm running MIUI 12.5.6, and since the last update the fingerprint sensor has become temperamental.
Previously, just touching my thumb to the power button would unlock the screen.
Now it will sometimes unlock, but other times I actually have to click the button.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks
