Anyone having issues with fingerprint reader not recognizing finger right away.

I've experienced losing my fingerprint recognition. My fingerprint was working really well but after applying the latest red tint update, it seemed to become not as responsive. When this happens I find that booting into recovery mode and clearing system cache partition, then rebooting usually fixed it. If that doesn't fix it, i remove the old fingerprint and register my fingerprint again. Then it works excellent again. One quirk that i have is that it only seems to recognize only the 1st fingerprint easily but doesn't recognize a 2nd fingerprint as easily. Took me forever to tap my 2nd finger many times to get it registered and even after it did, that 2nd fingerprint wasn't recognized reliably by the sensor.
Has happened on 3 separate occasions for me where it just stops recognizing any finger at all and requires pattern input to unlock. A reboot always fixed it for me.
Hi

in the fp quality test there is no response or numbers displayed
Kinldy help me out what should I do?
Provide more information!
Stock or custom rom?
Which ROM are you running?
It just happened, or you did something that triggered the condition?
guys I'm facing fp issue my fp is not recognized even fp reader is clean and my finger also.. i tried to delete and setup again but its showing this..? what should i do..
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.
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.
