Is there a way to use the fingerprint scanner to answer a phonecall? I got used to doing this with my old phoine becuase it is a 1-handed operation. But I don't see how to do it with the Mi A2.

Fingerprint Sensor unlocks with any form of contact either a fingerprint thats not even registered or by the touch of just my palm. Anyone experience this?
Nope. Mine is quite exacting and we've tested it with other fingers etc.
My P20 Pro was accurate enough to save my nose-print as a useable fingerprint.
I would suggest that your fingerprint hasn't been stored correctly and to remove all fingerprints and re-load them to see if that helps.
Ive removed google smart unlock and now it unlocks properly. Weird
Hi,
Using the Red Magic 3 is quite nice, but one of the major problems to me is the FingerPrint scanner.
It happens really often that I have to "press" the FP scanner several times before it lets me in
But on the other had, Face unlcok works superbly here !
It recognizes my face everytime, even in rather dark environment.
And unlocking is then super fast...
Guess I'll use that more often than the FP scanner
You guys also have that "problem" with the P scanner ?
No its working perfect for me, much better then the fp sensor of the xiaomi mi mix 2 (my prev phone). Meaby try to set it up again?
I had the same problem, then it went away, then it came back.
Saw some people complaining here as well on github.
Funny thing for me, seem to be related to having activated multiple users in this device and for some reason the finger print only works (normally) on this second account. Deleting that saving account did not solve the issue as the sensor continues completely irresponsive in my main account (so it's clearly just a software issue). If I recreate a second account it will work there, but still not in my main account.
Do you have more than one user registered for that device? I use the other users mainly to have alt accounts for different games
I'm in touch with their (slow) support and the last message I got was:
We will feedback this case to our R&D .Pls provide the order number and Build number of the phone.If you can, please also provide a video file of this process,thanks.
In my case it's clearly just a software issue, so it should be fixed in future builds (hopefully).
Perhaps a factory reset would help, but I don't want to test that option as I'm lazy to set up everything up again.
Hi,
Same thing here.
The FP scanner is not on par with some of the RM3 sibblings like the Mate 20x or the mi mix 3.
I think the scanner is too small to recognize your fingerprint decently.
But if I compare Face unlock on this device to face unlock on the afroementioned devices, it's a totally different story !!!
It is amazingly fast and reliable, even in low light conditions...
So I am almost always using that one.
Regards.
No problems here with the FP scanner.
I'm on Global ROM,bootloader is still locked,no root and only my account registered to the phone,but I've setup 4 fingerprints,and all of them work quite good....
My mom was trying to register her fingerprint on my Mi9 but it was a very difficult task since the scanner couldn't detect her fingerprint. After a long time and being able to register the fingerprint, now it's near impossible for the phone to scan her fingerprint and unlock the phone. Meanwhile, my fingerprint unlocks easily almost every time, so I really don't know what's happening and how can I fix this. I'm using MIUI 10.2.26.0 EEA. I wanted to put the global beta to try, but since they won't update anymore global betas I stayed with the global EEA.
She's looking for a similar phone, but if on-screen fingerprint scanners have a problem with her fingerprint, she will have to stay with standard fingerprint scanners that she never had a problem with.
I'm currently using a screen protector, but since it works great with my fingers, I don't think that's the problem.
Are there any tips on fixing this problem or at least make it better, like finger positions or doing something with the finger before scanning, without having to change ROMs?
If it works ok with your fingers, "probably" not a sensor or rom problem.
I always register same finger twice for better reading, but if your mom's fingerprint is washed out, will never be 100% efective.
Hi everyone!
I have a problem with a fingerprint scanner on my Xiaomi mi 9 lite. I use it for 9 months. Lately, I found out that the scanner doesn't work properly - unlocks only after a few attempts. Right now I can say that it unlocks 1 out of 10 tries. I use my phone with a glass and case, so there were no damages that could lead to such a problem. What was done: checking without glass (I added new fingerprints), hard reset, calibration of the scanner (passed all tests successfully), wiping data from fingerprint id. Unfortunately, the situation didn't get better. Hope, there is anyone who can give me any pieces of advice.
Thank you in advance.

Hi friend. I have the same problem. My ROM is original, I don't use tempered glass, but it works really bad anyway.
Just for trying:
Change fingerprint animation, record new fingerprints pressing harder or with the tip of the finger. Worked sometimes for me.
Hi there! I recently bought Xiaomi 12 Pro Gloabl MIUI 13 and I faced really annoying problem. The proximity sensor does not work and it did not pass the test. Allays shows 5.0 at the test no mater if the sensor is covered or not. And the real problem, the big one is face ID does not work at dark, like there is no IR at all and that is great issue for me, because this makes phone completely useless for me while traveling at night.
What I red the proximity sensor is virtual instead of hardware and it makes problems and user waiting for software solution for years. OK, but what about IR camera for face ID. Is it integrated in this phone or not. I find no answer.
Planning to switch to xiaomi.eu rom hoping for fix, but...lookin for solutions with golobal rom, because I use a lot of banking apps that I`m not sure if they work wit unlocked bootloader.
There is no IR cam, just the regular one.
That's not a 12 Pro only issue, most phones behave the same in the dark.
You can however use the fingerprint, so where's the point of calling the device useless at night?

The point is, when the phone is in holder I just tap on the screen and it unlocks by face ID immediately. That`s I have used with Mi8 till now. Fingerprint of 12 Pro is very slow compare to Mi8 and mostly unlocks with second try.
Well I have to adjust to new lack of hardware, but quite expensive Xiaomi

Try to register your finger a second time as an additional finger. This could help to speed up the recognition.
I faced proximity sensor problems with my 11T Pro but the 12 Pro is working great. I use the fingerprint which for me is lightening fast. Unfortunately without the front IR sensor, no photos going to work like iPhone when it comes to face I'd.

Hi did you try to move the phone towards your hand during the test? because this movement simulates the gesture of answering a call.
Enable double tap to wake, then unlock with index finger
PS Don't use phone while travelling
