On taking unlock LineageOS rom 1 fingerprint nice touch. When the proximity sensor, the fingerprint is concealed inactive (avoid touching the pocket). When taken out of the normal operation.
MIUI rom on e has root, enable one touch but do not know where to edit it can disable unlocked by fingerprint when proximity sensor cover (to the pocket) so the parents anyway
Sorry! My English very bad ?
Hi, there might be some problem with my note 8.
I activate the instant unlock without swiping the lock screen for the iris recognition unlock.
the problem is something the iris camera will not shows up on the screen after i swipe up to check on the position of my eyes. it said 'if this keeps happening, please restart your phone'.
I wondering anything cause the iris camera not to appear on the screen.
The iris scanner still works well on capture my irises to unlock the phone, it is just that the iris camera do not appears on the screen (the one with the two circle to position your eyes).

Try factory resetting the device and check if the issue is still there. If yes, take the device to the samsung store for replacement. Mine works flawlessly. Much better than S8+ actually.

Tried factory reset it... still the same.
The iris scanner have no problem unlocking my phone, it is just that the iris camera with the two circles does not appear on the screen when iris scanner activated.
I was playing around with my Note 9 and i managed to turn on my TV through the *#0*# menu.
Tried the Iris Scanner Test and pointed it towards the TV and, would you look at that, it turned on.
The camera also shows for a few seconds but can't be screenshotted due to some "security" issue.
My question is. Since Xiaomi guys managed to tap into the IR Camera with root, could somebody please try to make an app that uses root and can tap into the IR Blaster (as a TV remote somehow) and Infrared Camera for IR photos (macro photos, since the focus is probably locked, but can't say for sure because it's still forced only into that test mode)?
Hi together,
I`m comming from a pixel 4 xl and a Samsung galaxy s10.
The fingerprint Scanner is pretty slow compared to the s10 one.
I know how fast a optical scanner can be regarding a Oneplus Phone and it's not as sensetive to a glas screen protector as the sonic one.
So the s20 Fe s fingerprint sensor has the Potential.
Unforatunately it's slow and inaccurate. Is this only me having this feeling? Compared to the s10s sensor its super slow and you have to have your Finger on the screen way longer. Also it's more unreliable.
S10 8/10 tries.
S20 fe 6/10 tries.
Overall im pretty disappointed.
I came from the Pixel 4 xl due to annoying masks not working with face unlock.
But the fingerprint Scanner of this Phone is giving me a hard time to.
I am coming from the LG G6 with the fingerprint sensor in the power button on the rear. I really prefer that setup because you can use it by feel, and it was really quick (could have my phone unlocked before having it out of my pocket, if I wanted). But I find the S20 FE just fine. A tad slower and more finicky with placement, but fast enough and I hardly ever have failures. My main complaint is that you have to be quick to remove your finger after it unlocks, else you could activate the screen at the location of the fingerprint. For this reason I only have 4 icons in the bottom area of my screen instead of 5, and nothing in the row above that.
The only other in-screen fingerprint sensor I've used was the TCL 10 pro, which I found much worse than the FE.
Also, I registered my fingerprints initially with the plastic shipping protector on, and did not re-do them after applying a glass protector. So it has been pretty much fuss-free.
Once I removed the factory-installed plastic screen protector my success rate jumped from 6/10 to about 9/10. Might be placebo though.
In Display, enable Increase Touch Sensitivity
You probably have a problem with your phone. I had S10 until I bought S20 FE 5G (I gave S10 to my son). The fingerprint sensor is ok and faster than the ultrasonic one on the S10. I specify that it is valid for glass protection. On the S10 I had 'whitestone dome glass' and on the S20 I had Spigen glass. What worries me about the optical sensor is the security because I often use it for online payments.
I found the fingerprint unlock really slow until today. I changed screen refresh rate to 120Hz and as a result it feels a lot faster when unlocking. Maybe it also more reliable, because it didnt need that much time to unlock, where i can move the finger.
You can make fingerprint scanner faster by changing some options:
1.change refresh rate to 120hz
2.in developer options change animation settings (all 3 settings to 0.5)
3.go to biometrics and security-biometrics preferences-disable
4.advanced features-reduce animations-enable
5.and last thing to do go apps settings-click on 3 dots on top of the corner-special access-optimise battery usage-change to all tab-search for com.samsung.android.biometrics.app.setting-disable optimisation
Now you can unlock your screen with just tapping on fingerprint area (dont need to hold)
Also adding the same fingerprint twice will improve the possibility of success unlocks.
Works perfectly with full screen protector.

Thanks. Disabling biometrics optimizer made it super fast now

Make it even faster by going into fingerprint settings and disable " show animation on unlock"
Lifehack regarding to how to make fingerprint sensor faster:
1. Remove all fingerprints
2. Set 60 Hz display refresh rate
3. Add fingerprints
4. Set back 120 Hz display refresh rate
Now sensor works much faster. At least for me.
Hi together,
I switchted Form s20 Fe 5g to s21. The trueth ist, that the Fingerprint Scanner of the s21 is was better.
There is no comparison... It is more reliable, faster, needs less time rest the finger on the screen and the area to scan is way bigger.
There is no going back, after you once uses the s21s fingerprint scanner.
Has any of you here experienced problems with the fingerprint sensor, in my case the option to add a fingerprint to unlock the device disappeared
I am also facing same fingerprint problem
