Fingerprint Scanner No Longer Sensitive? - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi,
i've had the Oneplus 3t for a few weeks now. The fingerprint scanner has always been blazing fast and always turns on the screen on or vibrates but after about a week suddenly it started not responding to my finger sometimes (meaning it doesn't vibrate or turn the screen on when pressed)
A few weeks ago though suddenly it just wasn't as sensitive as before. I put my finger on it and move away and the screen stays black and doesn't respond like before, I have to hold it there for a bit longer now to have it be recognized.
Cleaned the scanner and went back to the default launcher, any recommendations? I've tried factory reset/clearing cache/re-adding fingerprints.
Any help would be great, love the phone
-Bob

Any ideas...

I heard is because of aggressive doze on Nougat. Phone can't wake up as fast. Milliseconds more

My fingerprint scanner felt a little sluggish (~500ms after touch) after I flashed a bunch of mods and restored a nandroid several times in between on OOS 4.0.2. The response time noticeably improved after I deleted and re-registered my fingerprints.
If nothing else works, I guess clean flash stock ROM?

[Q] Screen Sensitivity

Hey guys.
I've got a pretty annoying problem. The screen of my z1 is too sensitive to the touch. Sometimes when I use the device it starts to open random apps and it's because of the oils of the fingers. When I wipe the screen it's working perfectly fine but if even a little liquid touches the screen it starts acting all weird. I've noticed that this is happening after I removed the Anti Shatter Film. I tried to edit the clearpad.idc which is supposed to decrease the sensitivity levels but I haven't noticed any difference at all. I have read about other people having similar problems like screen not recognizing the touch every now and then. It works perfectly fine for me when on flat surface and everything. The touch input in diagnostics app never fails as long as the screen is clean so I don't think the hardware is faulty(at least not in my case.) I would appreciate any help! Thanks
EDIT: Actually fixed this by editing the clearpad.idc. I set the screen touch filter to 6 and then set the chmod 644 permissions which I didn't do before and this might've caused it to not work before. Been testing for 10 minutes and everything working perfectly. )

Isn't it supposed to be that sensitive so it can work with a pencil as a stylus? At least I think this was the phone Sony said can do that.

Fingerprint Scanner Issue

Has anyone noticed a issue with the fingerprint scanner just not working? I have had it twice. I have a friend on a S8+ with the same issue. It requires a restart to fix it.
Yeah, it happened to mine when I went to the gym. My phone was a little wet from sweat and it would not work. A quick reboot fixed it. A little annoying, something that will hopefully get squashed.
I had this issue for a few days, but I don't think I've had issues after I updated. Since I updated, when I thought it wasn't going to work, I'd either slightly change my finger position or hold my finger on the sensor longer, and it would unlock. It's just a crap location lol.
I had the same issue. I did some research and found that dialing *#0*#, clicking on sensor, then scrolling to the bottom under FingerPrint test and clicking normal scan seems to have helped. I haven't had the issue since and it's been a few days.
I had to turn the swipe down for notifications w/ fingerprint to get it to work again.
Happened yesterday, after I touched it with a wet finger. Restart fixed it.
I am having the same issue

Unresponsive fingerprint sensor

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.

Display issue

Hey guys,
My phone barely turned one year a week ago and now I'm having some issues!
The display seems to lose it's sensivity after a 5-30minutes use. Completely random. I can turn on/off the screen, I can use the fingerprint sensor (and it works) but it "feel my touches". It just doesnt respond to my touches.
The only thing I can do is to force reboot, pressing the on/off button for 5-10seconds.
I switched from xiaomi.eu to global stable and it does the same thing. Now I'm going to switch to the latest LineageOS maybe it works.
I couldn't find my problem on Google, all other display issues seems to be different from mine.
Thanks guys! Awaiting tips!

P10 touch screen responsiveness issues

Hey guys my first post here!
I'm having touchscreen issues after the oreo update (android 8). I got the update around 10 days ago.
I'm experiencing the following:
- The most important: Taps not registering sometimes. I used to be able to softly tap anything without any problem, but now my taps are not registering sometimes and i have to double tap.
- Bad scroll detection : the device sometimes recognizes scrolling as a knuckle gesture (crop screenshot) or scroll responsiveness is laggy.
- Tap registering as a knuckle tap. This happened only once. I tapped two times with my finger as the first one didn't register and it took a screenshot.
My use of the phone didn't change since the update and I'm kinda concerned. Is this a software problem? Anyone else experienced something similar?
I have the same issue! Many times knuckle gestures turns on not recognize correctly the touch.
Reboot phone in recovery mode and select format cache.
Restart and try touchscreen again.
Same issues with touch screen response after Oreo update.
Format cache does not solve the problem.
Sometimes is not registering finger. Sometimes register as double tap.
This is happening with my phone as well. It also registers phantom input, like occasionally things on far away from my fingers. The YouTube app has been especially sluggish when scrolling or swiping, to the point where it confuses swipes with taps and opens random stuff while lagging, or just crashes. The gboard is also becoming increasingly unpredictable and sometimes it feels like everything is being registered a litte skewed.
I checked the memory in case I got one of the bad ones, but it seems ok. It must be either the screen or a software thing then?
Same issues on day one from last year nougat rom
Any updates on this issue?
I am on 369 and is very annoying.
Any solution?
Downgraded to Nougat with HiSuite and problems with touchscreen gone.
I have problems only on Oreo.
Friend not having single issue on Oreo.
Don't understand.
