Tempered glass protector - fingerprint scanner security problem - Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi. I just applied tempered glass protector with UV glue, but there's a huge problem with fingerprint scanner. No it unlock any finger. Even my brother is able to unlock my phone (without registering his fingers of course!).
That's just sick.
Does anyone had problem like this?

I am looking for a good screen protector may I ask what one you got please so I no if there any issue with that one to stay away thanks

You should have bought a hydragel screen protector.
Use face recognition instead to unlock the phone.

It sounds like you potentially didnt wipe down teh screen properly. I also have a UV glass protector, and i have no issues. It only lets me use my registered fingers

Wow, great solution. Especially that literally all apps with login ask for fingerprint.

Can I ask what protector you brought please and does it cover full screen ?

What's with the UV glue?
Take it off.....

I have uv screen protector and added fingerprint to see if I have the same issue, but I can unlock it only with the registered finger.
This is what I am using: https://a.aliexpress.com/_dVqN8F6
Works great with a Spigen Case.
Has good oleophobic coating

Is your screen a fingerprint magnet?

Just wondering if its just me or is it bothering you as well.
I realise the Gorilla glass on the Optimus 2x means it does not need a screen protector. But what do you do about the fact that it sticks your fingerprint so easily.
It looks very bad unless you wipe it every 5 minutes, and can also feel greasy after a period of time. Any ideas? Maybe there is a good anti-fingerprint/anti-smudge film you can get? Thanks
Some of us have "moisty" fingers by themselfs. Nothing to do about it. Glas wil always get fingerprinted.
wash hands? Use wet handcerchief?

Just thought maybe there was a way around it. My friends Galaxy S2 came with an anti-fingerprint film and doesn't stick any fingerprint even after weeks
From what I've read in the Accessories forum, there doesnt seem to be a good screen protector that does that with the O2x
My screen is protected by a Frosted film, anti-fingerprint as others call it. It works fine but the side of the screen aren't protected because of the curved edges.

Screen protector messed up, remove it?

Hey guys,
My Xperia Z1 is 2 weeks old and I carried it in a flip case but still the included screenprotector has tons of scratches on it do you guys reccomend that I remove it?
EDIT: does the back glass have a screen protector too? And if i remove that will I remove the logos?
Thanks,
Noahvt
Yes , the back side has screen protector but if you remowe it you will not lose the sony xperia and nfc logo . If you remove the protectors sugest to replace them with tempered glass protectors because the back/front of the phone are more fragile without protectors .

Just removed the front protector (the back is not scratched yet so I will not remove it yet) And I got a bunch of ghost touches at first, after wiping the screen the ghost touches were reduced to a few but it's quite annoying, I assume this is just some glue residue left from the screenprotector? If so what would be the best approach to get rid of that residue?
Thanks,

Clean the screen with something . The ghost touches are from residue and buy a tempered glass for the screen because if you let it like this and scratches are going to appear on it then you wont be able to remove them.

Yeah just found that one too! And they sell it in my country YES!
Agree on the tempered glass instead. Feels much nicer.

is there a fingerprint sensor tempered glass protector?

For the third year in a row my Samsung phone has a fingerprint sensor that's all scratched up, because Samsung continues to coat the sensors with plastic while OnePlus coats theirs with ceramic or glass. In the meantime, I've taken to covering my sensor with a piece of Scotch tape, and it still works, but I'm just curious if there is a more elegant solution?
Didn't know it still works with tape on it.. I might try some clear coat nail polish or auto grade clear coat dipped onto a brush.

I used to have a small glass protector for both the fingerprint reader and the rear camera on my S8+. Si my guess is that if there none yet, there should be something soon enough
Ive seen glass for the camera but not the FPS.
If i may ask how the hell are you scratching these so often?
I don't know how well they work, but some skins come with a small skin for the scanner. It has a small cut out in the center for scanning, so most of it is covered. I have a skinit skin that came with one(but I haven't used it), but I think I also saw that dbrand has them too. It would help to hide ur scratches, but I dont know how well the scanner would work with just a small area to read fingerprint!

No idea. Life is messy; things happen.

That's a good idea, I'll try that.
I wished I found out about the scotch tape idea because that's such a quick, easy, and convenient preventative measure to protect the scanner from being easily scratched!

Glass protectors for fingerprint scanners would render the fingerprint scanner useless. As most current fingerprint scanners with the exception of thoses, which are designed to work under glass won't be able to work with a glass protector on them.

I mean if it could work under glass they would put them under our phone's screens, oh wait....

How scratch resistant is it? Do you use a case?

Hey people, I was wondering: how does it hold up against scratches? I have the blue, with the ridged back, but so far afraid to use it without a case... How do you use yours? Does is scratch easily? What about the screen?

It uses gorilla glass 5, which scratched very easily on my S9. I had small scratches after a day with no case on the S9. I imagine this phone will be no different.

I feel the same way. Unfortunately. I am curious about the back though...
Back seems to hold up (maybe non touch sensitive glass is easier to make scratch resistant) the front 2 scratches in the first week... And I used a soft pouch until proper accessories come out.
Got a skin on the back and a crappy plastic screen protector for now.

Allright thanks for the answer, so it seems I have to buy smth for the screen after all..
I have some scratches on mine. I am very careful with it, no coins etc. So I will definitely be using a case with the replacement phone I am getting tomorrow for display issues.

I do wonder though, if it scratches the olephobic coating or the actual glass is scratched. A colleague of mine has the s7 until last week without a protector and said screen was always perfect. But it got fingerprinty as hell.
Wonder if one of those nano liquid coatings would smooth it out. I have accidental damage insurance so if that works I would rid of the scratches with that.
You might have a point there with the coating. I have noticed that as well on my samsung phones.
I tried that nano liquid, but havent noticed much diferrence though.
I've tried several screen protectors and they all stop fingerprint recognition working!

I guess I got lucky. I got a case and a tempered glass screen protector for free with my purchase in Taiwan. Finger print scanner works perfect. I should have checked what the brand was. It was a flagship Huawei store, so obviously they knew what they were putting on there.

See...that it why they buy iphone or smsng, cause they dont mess up important stuff... You mean the glass ones? Or the foils?
I am challenging those that think Mate 20 Pro uses Gorilla Glass (I have read the 1 or 2 reviews that state this), and it's not listed in the Gorilla Glass website. Also worried about scratches I reached out to Huawei AU and received the following:
To answer your inquiry, this phone uses aluminosilicate glass for both front and back which is also Scratch resistant and is composed of aluminum, oxygen, silicon, and several other positively charged ions.

I am seeing the above noted comments and "scratch resistant" or not, it's obvious this phone needs a case and screen protector.
I wish it had Gorilla Glass 6!
No case... Back skin and plastic screen protector

finger print sensor scratch easily

Anyone find that the fps easy to scratch? .. Is there any sticker protector?
I don't know that. what i do know is that if you apply a sticker protector, you won't be able to use it, because it won't detect the fingerprint. Confirmed by me.
The FPS on my S8+ scratched very easy. No issues on my Note 8 or my Note 9.

I actually really like the Scotch tape idea. I put a matte skin on the back of mine because I wanted it to match the matte frame. Even the camera lenses glass has a matte skin on it, so the shiny fingerprint sensor kind of stood out. Now it also has a matte finish and works just as well as before! Win-win
