Hi all,
The glass screen protector that is currently on my Mi9 stops the fingerprint sensor from working.
Does anyone know of a protector that doesn't have this problem?
Thanks
Wow really? I randomly bought few from different sellers and all work fine.

I use samsung m20 protector and its very fit an good
Delete all the previous fingerprints recorded before install the protector and save them now with the protection.
It should work.
I've tried three different protectors, tempered glass and plastic, with no problems.

Glass and plastic all ok
im buying a SECOND mi9 because my current one was demolished after falling out my motocycle glove compartment. it had no screen protector because everyone o brought messed with the fingerprint scanner. i see here that the Nillkin 3D CP+ MAX/XD CP+ MAX is one but its pretty bad. any other ones confirmed working?

I'm using nillkin amazing cp+. It's pretty good except when you've got extremely dry fingers and you slide about so the fingerprint reader doesn't recognise. If that makes sense. It's not a big deal tho
I've been searching tempered glass protectors for my regular Pixel 4, and some of them leave almost top of the screen unprotected, which I don't like at all. I've found one that has two holes for camera and speaker, but top right of the screen is protected, so it's over SOLI radar.
Do you think that Motion Sense feature could somehow be affected by this? I'm not familiar to how a radar works.
Thanks a lot.
It's radar, it sends out a signal and has to sense any interferences and reflections coming back. Block that it it won't work at all.
May also stop face unlock working if you block IR emitters.

Highly doubtful. It may hinder, but most radar devices are in some sort of enclosed housing.

I must say I've got that protector from yesterday, and SOLI radar and Motion Sense just work. But, I was wondering if it could affect in any way...
It definitely has an effect. I have a protector with a cutout and positioned it slightly too high, covering a small bit of the soli sensor window. That basically prevented MotionSense from detecting my hand when I grabbed my phone at very small angles. I always wondered why face unlock wasn't triggered when I grabbed my phone - that seems to have been the reason. I repositioned the protector and now it works.
So I bought a clear tempered glass screen protector, with no black edges. It had a large cut out at the top (essentially a giant notch) for all the seniors etc. However I think it is interfering with the soli radar as it no longer works with music etc ?
essentially it seems screen protectors will next to fit exactly with the radar otherwise they will cause interference!
Same thing happened to me with my Pixel 4. Bought a invisible Shield put on worked for two songs! And it stopped working.. Removed it, and is working again.
I am running a full screen protector and I have experienced no issues with the sensor. This is just a cheap screen protector that came with my case.
I can't post links yet but if you look on Amazon for sunnyw Google Pixel 4 XL Case with full screen protector you can see what it looks like.
The only cutouts in the screen protector is for the speaker and prox sensor.

Is it tempered glass, or plastic one?
I'm using a full screen protector, only cut outs are the ones on the left which the camera reside. The soli radar and face unlock works perfectly with no hiccups.

I am sorry I just saw this. It is tempered glass
Has anyone put on a screen ? Especially the ones that uses liquid adhesive to see if the sensitivity is acceptable? I see that we can turn on the sensitivity option in the device?? I just haven't bought one yet??
I got a set of 3 matte hydrogel protectors from Ali Express. Not bad. Easy to install; didn't get bubbles.
Starting with the S10+ (then the Note 10+ and Note 20 Ultra), I've stopped using glass since I just don't see the point in crippling the ultrasonic fingerprint reader.
If you are interested the original leather cover by Samsung is absolutely gorgeous and the IMBZBK tempered glass (from Amazon) has a perfect application and the fingerpint sensor works without any noticeable reduction of sensibility (with my old s21 the tempered glasses make the fingerprint sensor almost unusable). The only issue as usual is the screen coverage (but is a fully accettable 1mm of uncovered screen on each side between the cover bumpers) and the punch hole (not the U shape hole, thankfully) on the front camera, but, once applicated this "technical issue" are barely noticeable
I can recommend the Spigen Glass protector.
Foolproof application, covers IMO the whole screen and so far no uses with the fingerprint sensor or using it with a cass
I took the Anoowka one at 8.99€ 'Coz I know most is just a matter of brand but it's the same factory ^^
I got 2 tempered glasses with 2 cameras protections. So far so good. Perfect mm cut. And hopefully with the punch hole

Is it this one? (https://top4mobile.cz/Katalog/44/oc...im-samsung-galaxy-s23-tempered-glass-agl05961) I already bought one which doesn't support ultrasound fingerprint reader so I want to be sure. Sorry about the language it's a retailer in my country.

No , the right name is:
Spigen Glas.tR EZ Fit
It comes with an application tool which looks like a transparent case.

Are you using the Spigen protector on the S23 right now? How is it?

I am using it right know.
Fits perfectly, very very easy to apply, 2 glasses are included, if you should somehow mess up the first one.
Both are already on the plastic template, so no need to fiddle around.
Glass feels very smooth, finger print sensor works with glass better than on my old phone without any protector (Xiaomi Mi 10).
I did reregister my finger prints to be on the save side.
It covers the whole screen including the selfie cam.

Thank you for the feedback. I have ordered now to replace the glass with punch hole

Spigen glass is expensive and it is not available on amazon so I was thinking about getting X Glass from Gadgetshieldz which is $15 less than Spigen and they give 2 pieces. Did anyone try this tempered glass?
Spigen arrived and installed from Amazon Italy: absolutely perfect. Barely noticeable on phone (0.5mm of uncovered glass surface, compatibile with any cover i have (spigen and samsung), camera completely covered without any loss of quality and perfect fingerprint reader functionality (i don't have to re-register fingerprint from my previous IMBZBK glass.
"Expensive" product, but is really totally another level: THE tempered glass for S23.
Just a note: the same tempered glass for S21 has serious issue with fingerprint reader: the S23 Ultrasonic is GREATLY improved and work with all tempered glass i tryed (Cellularline, IMBZBK and Spigen)

Good to hear that someone else thinks the same about the Spigen Glass Protector.

I immediately went with Spigen, because I had good experience with their phone covers in the past.
It is strange that Amazon in your area doesn't sell these protectors.
I paid 18,89€ (currently available for 25€ -10%, probably because we finally are on the release time frame) on Amazon Germany.
Maybe I paid a Premium price for this one, but so far it did not dissapoint me.

Spigen case ruined my S20FE with many Micro scratches. Never Spigen again for me. And it's too expensive. If I had to chosen, Better try Ringke. Apparently same quality, same made in SK. Less pricy.
But I went with that case I said earlier and received it today and it's enough for now. 8€
I had so far no issues with cases from Spigen..

Yes, I checked with amazon again and it is there for $20 but out of stock here in Canada, so I've ordered 2 pieces from Gadgetshieldz! After I receive both the phone and glass I'll share a review.
