My finger print sensor stopped working yesterday and no matter what I did it just would not unlock my phone anymore as if it forgot my registered print so I deleted the the saved prints on the phone and tried to make a new set but the sensor doesn't wanna read my finger prints. What do I do? This is dumb if I have to send it in for repair cause this is a two month old phone lmao

I just found out that we can assign more fingers to unlock our S5 using finger scanner.
When we are registering the fingers. We are asked to swipe the fingers 8 times.
Here's the trick..Instead of swiping the same finger 8 times, swipe different fingers one by one..and all the finger prints will be registered.
If this was already posted earlier...then my bad

I don't think that is a viable option. It seems the wizard scans the finger 8 different times so it has a better reading of the print in the event you don't get an exact perfect swipe. The fingerprint unlock is already awful enough and doesn't work too well. Sure, you can scan up to 8 different fingers with the wizard for a single pass, but I think you would have to scan each finger perfectly afterwards to match the way it was scanned into the phone to unlock it Since you can also store multiple fingers, why not just scan the two or three fingers you would use the most and get a more accurate scan possible with the 8 passes?
..
Does anyone have any tips for using fingerprint scanner?
Swiping is originally very bad idea. Samsung missed the point. In iPhone you press button and scan your finger at the same time. So, unlocking made by simple press and hold 1 second to unlock.
What did Samsung is utterly nonsense and inconvenient.
I suggest the opposite : Use all 3 in only one finger. This way phone unlocks only with one finger, but scanner has the best possible recognition.
Every time change the angle of the finger slightly, so to read the finger in every situation.

they could not do anything. apple patented that fingerprint system, the same way they patented "a rounded edged rectangle with a circular home button"
apple copies people but does not let themselves be copied. ... SMH
It seems there is issue in Lenevo Zuk Z1. Screen gets unlocked without providing finger print or pattern. Whenever I receive any notification from any application and it gets showed in locked screen. So, if I swipe the notification to remove it and just move my finger from bottom to up or right to left screen gets unlocked without proving any finger print or pattern or password. Any body else facing the same issue..?

maybe you have enabled smart lock? try to check it on the security settings.
I just factory reset my P10 on the newest pie version and noticed a concerning thing. When I enrolled just one finger print ex thumb then tried to unlock with any of my other fingers I world get a vibration of failure but if I kept on doing it quickly I could get access to my phone. I did get my wife to try the same method and she was unable to unlock phone. I tried the identify finger print in the setup menu and it identifies it correctly and will not see a non enrolled fingerprint as one that's enrolled. This is a somewhat concerning thing to me. Just wondering if others have had the same experience.
If it unlocks to you but not to your wife (same phone?), don't you maybe have your face registered for Face unlock - so it recognizes your face (not finger) and unlocks
Also, check Smart (un)Lock settings, it maybe unlocks based on trusted BT devices (or trusted places)
Good call. I guess tapping the finger sensor that many times wakes the device but not screen. I had to turn the screen almost sideways to make sure face unlock didn't see me tested then all worked correctly.
Hello everyone
I have p20 Pro and I live in Syria
My fingerprint broke a year ago and that's not my problem
A week ago suddenly my phone didn't ring
It shows the notification that I have a call and when I try to answer I can't like someone is touching the screen and when I put my finger on the finger print.. Every thing goes back to normal
And here no one knew how to change the fingerprint sensor or just disconnecting it
I just want a method I can disable the sensor
I don't want it anymore and no one is doing it for me in my country
So please if there is anyway I can disconnect it using some commands or something
Thank you sooo much
I heated the fingerprint on the front side of the phone and took it off
I cut the wire connecting it to thedevice
And now everything went back to normal
Modern problems require modern solutions ???
I have noticed that the fingerprint sensor on this phone is such a piece of ****. After enrolling my fingerprints as usual, the dumb thing unlocked like twice out of ten tries, it made me so mad. This is what I did to get it to work decently.
When enrolling your fingerprint, make sure to
- don't press on the screen, place it as delicate as an angel's kiss
- try to get as many angles as possible, even following the animation when angling your finger
- also try to get it to record your finger perpendicular to the sensor like in this emoji
When unlocking, make sure to
- Try to center your finger as much as possible with the white circle on the display
- If it doesn't unlock right away, keep your finger there for a couple of seconds. Sometimes it does not unlock immediately
Enroll your main unlock finger twice! This is very important to get it to record as much info on each fingerprint as possible. My thumbs are my main unlocking fingers so I enrolled each one twice. Another trick that helped me was to enroll one finger in normal phone holding position, and the other one in more unusual positions like upside down, with the phone flat on a table, and so on). This wasted 4 out of 5 slots though, only one slot is left for a backup finger.
If you apply a screen protector, delete all your fingerprints and enroll them again using the aforementioned tricks.
After doing this it's almost as reliable as a normal fingerprint scanner. Reliability improved from 2\10 to 8\10.
