So I bought a P30 pro.
Upgraded from a p20 Pro.
An initial problem I've found is that the lock screen isn't as responsive.
I'll clarify. I use a PIN code to unlock my phone - not face recognition or fingerprint.
PIN is more secure as long as you use a longish code.
Anyway - I'm used to this way of doing things - but the p30 pro is just nowhere near as responsive as the p20 Pro. Sluggish - some key strokes don't even register.
Whereas the p20 is just about the fastest phone I've used for this.
It means that almost every time I use it I have to be super precise with my typing, to the point its really annoying and and almost a deal breaker.
So is there some kind of bug - or is this a symptom of the curved screen edge? Or something else?
Anyone else noticed this?
Mine is a P30 Pro locked to EE.
Any thoughts on this would be really appreciated.

On my new S21 ultra my thumbs can't be recognized.... even cant fix it with S20 ultra trick (disable biometric app from battery optimization, quick tap with left and right thumb..)
I just disabled Fingerprint recognizion cos it is useless. I tried for me that 10 days... It is just very veery bad....
I haven't had any issues with the fingerprint reader. Works 100% of the time for me. Do you have a screen protector on it?
no issues here, its way faster than my s20 ultra I traded in, I add 2 thumb prints for each thumbs and works perfect
Mine works as well, included with a glass screen protector

Odd, have you tried wiping the phone and start over? Like everyone else here, my s21 ultra has 0 misses (even with screen protector), it's faster than the one in the Note 20 Ultra. If wiping doesnt work, it might be a defective unit maybe?
Mine is working great also! Im really impressed with the speed that it recognizes my thumb as well. Im an auto mechanic and often have dirty fingers while unlocking and using my phone. NO PROBLEMS!
Mine is waaaaaay better than the s20. Record like 4 of the same fingerprint. I even have a whitestone on, works great...
Fingerprint is better than my Note 10 + but nowhere near as good as Huawei P30 Pro was or Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro.
Turning on the extra sensitivity in the options helps but still do not get 100% recognition, lucky if I get 75%.
Hm it is better if I use battery optimization on biometric app... now it is working great
Suuuuuuuuux. Don't work every time I take a shower.... Fingerprint sensor just don't work on any of my finger. Even cant add new one .. just don't recognize fingerprint...
There's nothing wrong the S21 Ultra's fingerprint sensor. Seems like either bought an S20 and regret it or you bought a S21 Ultra that was defective.
Do you have screen protector on?
I too think it sucks. Useless as it fails three times in a row deactivating the finger print login on my bank for example. It's no good
I have original screen protector.
P.S. I changed screen protector on S20 fingerprint sensor and it is much better now.
On S21 is much worse... It works good one day, other day nothing works. Special after I take a shower... Fingerprint can't be readable.... Don't know how to fix it
It doesn't work at all for me either. I just gave up and use facial recognition now.

Also strange, it's fine on my end.
Could be the shower "softens" the skin on your finger?
On the other hand, if it works no matter what on your previous device, maybe the S21U you have is defective, and you could ask for a replacement.
S20 ultra was trash in every department compared to s21 ultra so must be defective or a strong screen protector that's all I can think of,as it's way better
Enabling touch sensitivity for me helped quite a bit with the stock screen protector on, but it's still way worse than the Xiaomi I came from. I'm not sure why but it feels like half the time it fails on the first try. Maybe I'll try taking the protector off and see how that goes.
Before enabling touch sensitivity I was having my fingerprint fail 5 times in a row prompting the lock happen at least every couple of days, even after re-scanning fingerprints. I just feel like it might be the screen protector though.
And now all of a sudden it workes FLOWLESLY EVERYTIME FOR A LAST FEW DAYS... HOPE IT WILL STILL THAT WAY

I really can't find this option in Settings.
It is just not there, not in the list under Apps > Special access, not by searching in the bar, not in Battery settings..
I wish I could try to disable the biometric service from the Battery Optimization but I really can't find out how.
Any tips?
Thank you.
Hello community.
First, I apologize there may be some difficult to know what I want to say because of my poor english skills.
I bought CN version Mi 11 ultra last week. I have been using it but sometime I feel something wrong about touch input while gaming.
So I recorded video while playing game with touch position indication.
Here is the video.
It looks like happened when two finger input.
When problem happened, it seems like switching 2 touching position very very fast between currently touching.
It looks like only single touch is recognized in phone system...may be...
Anyone have same problem? And I expect someone have solution.
Yes, I've had it when typing on gboard and then I changed to SwiftKey and same issue
Sometimes a ghost touch makes the keyboard disappear
It happens less now I'm on 12.5.4 but sometimes still, there's an issue
Maybe related to notifications arriving at the top
I haven't figured it out yet or had much time to work on it
Touch quality was very bad , my old OnePlus 8 pro too much better touch sensitivity
I already asked in forum about that touch problem...
Touch function quality
Hi Recently i bought xiaomi 11 ultra Chinese version with global rom about a week ago, coming from OnePlus 8 Pro (that was my main device for last 8 months). Last week i noticed slow touch response and i feel the touch function was very slower...

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a Realme 8 Pro that landed home 2 days ago, my previous phone was a Huwei P30 Pro I bought in 2019 and I have to admit that the power consumption is a bit weird/disappointing.
Despite the 8 Pro having a bigger battery than the P30 Pro, battery seems to drain faster for unknow reason, I've enabled every options available in order to save as much energy as possible but it still very far from what I may have experienced with other phones
I'm even using Pixel Filter in order to save some battery by disabling led tiles but it doesn't seem to help that much :/
Is anyone here sharing the same feeling ? I've heard that this issue was already adressed in a previous update from Realme.
Same goes for the fingerprint sensor, I had my fingerprints correctly set but sometime it will unlock the phone and sometime it won't, very very annoying.
i have the same thing with fingerprint sensor. Sometimes it works, sometimes not...

Hi,
Am too facing the same problems as you mentioned, probably a custom rom would fix our problem. Soon expecting a custom rom for our device.
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
Hello Folks,
Coming from a S20 im finding the fingerprint scanner quite infuriating. has anyone fund a way to improve this?
Oh and sometimes it goes straight to the pin, not even an option to unlock. why?
Maybe (I doubt it) google will improve the fingerprint with software updates overtime. For now it's just totally unreliable. If you want to live with pixels you have to adapt I use smartlock (smartwatch) and thanks to that I don't need to use fingerprint at all (well almost, 2-3 times a day it asks for it).
I come from Samsung Galaxy Flip4 (S21 ultra before), I have Pixel 7 for 3 days and I have no problem with fingerprint.
Have you tried re-registering your fingers?
Its improved having the fingerprint registered twice. but for some reason you can only register 4 of them
