I found some info on another site that helps with the fingerprint sensor:
It seems like the key is to press relatively hard when swiping your finger. I've tried that a number of times now, and it seems to be working much better. I'm even able to get one handed unlock with the fingerprint sensor.
Hope this helps.
Sideways thumb swipe: rotate thumb to maximize print area while swiping during record and read.
Works fine.

Do you have it ?
i think Finger Print sensor will give you good security on your Phone..
Anyone that uses a fingerprint scanner on a locked phone is really, really unfortunate.

What I did was use the 3 allotted different fingerprints and scan my thumb at slightly different angles so I could swipe my thumb horizontally rather than vertically and it works a lot better now.
I feel clever ...unless this was already mentioned

The following was in another thread, so thought I would copy it here for posterity:

So I was playing around with the fingerprint scanner and wanted to add more then 3 fingerprints. When I was setting up my thumb, I also swiped my pointer finger. After the set up was complete. I found it let me unlock the phone with both fingers from the one setup. I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I figured someone out there might find it useful.

Confirmed that it worked on my device. I was able to register right thumb, left thumb and left index finger on just one setting.

Ok, so I do not know if anyone have noticed this already, but you might find this interesting.
When you pass your finger over the Lockscreen without actually touching it the phone draws a ripple effect along the path of your finger,
Here's what I found; if you hold your finger steady close enough over the screen without touching all the way, you can see your pulse!!
The way I see it is, unlike the s4's lockscreen where you have a dot following you while you hover, the note's lockscreen draws a circular ripple below your finger that changes in area as you get closer. So, if you don't change the distance between your finger and the screen, the only thing that is changing the capacitance between your finger and the screen is actually your own pulse fluctuating the electrostatic energy in your finger.
If you've read so far I hope I haven't wasted your time. I just wanted to share
Was skeptical but yep seems to work not sure my pulse is that fast though
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 4
Can a app be built arround this ? It's pretty cool
It's NOT your pulse. It's just an effect.
Try hovering your S Pen over the screen = same thing.

Well as it sounds it is related to google + and is a feature to authenticate user.

So...does anyone know what this is about or is there a secret button on the N5 that magically shows a fingerprint scanner on the front over the LED notification light (;

I just found out that I can unlock my device by swiping from the bottom upwards and it is much recognizable by the scanner. I don't know if it is a dumb idea but I just would like to share.

How? mine says to follow the picture and will not let me register or unlock by swiping from the bottom upwards.
I registered my thumb like the screen showed, after seeing this I tried backwards and it works. So I tried sideways it worked, and sideways in reverse works, go figure!
Set it up normally, top to bottom. I just find it out by accident that you can unlock it the reverse way. Also register your thumb by using the inter-phalangeal joint of your thumb. That makes swiping to unlock easier and less error prone. I wish I could embed video here so I can show you guys

Correct! As long the sensor recognize the pattern of your print it doesn't matter which way you swipe.

Dear Friends,
I wanted to make simple game which will help me to use the Fingerprint sensor.. I just made an game and posted over Google play I need your help to check weather it works on Samsung S7 FP Sensor..
App link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.futuregames.fingerpac&hl=en
Tap either fingerprint scanner or the screen to jump and survive without hitting the danger wall.
Please note fingerprint tap jump works only android M and above devices. Below android M devices can still play the game by tapping on the screen.
Please keep me posted your feedback or suggestion to improve the game.
Look forward hearing from you.
It works however it's not really responsive when using the fingerprint. Good concept tho.

Thank you, we are trying to improve the responsive time, if you can suggest me any idea for game or anything else it will be really good...

Cool but what if one could use these concept and convert the home button to capacity like on the HTC 10 so that we don't press to go home or wake the screen. Just tap go home and tap wake up unlock.

I had high hopes for the iris scanner after watching some of the videos on YouTube but for me it's crap! Seems to only work 1 in 20 attempts. I've even reregistered my eyes a few times in different conditions to no avail. I don't wear glasses or contact lenses.
What's everyone elses experience?

I registered without glasses and it unlocks with my glasses on. Faster unlocking than the fingerprint
Worked well for Me, but I didn't like having to see my eyes every time I wanted to unlock my phone, fingerprint scanner works great and my finger seems to land on the button when I pull the phone out of my pocket
I've only played with it briefly, and thus far, it seems to work fine. More testing to come.

Same here, works for me with and without glasses.
Mines works 95% of the time. I set up in good lighting. And it works in dark areas. Very good too. I hit just the power button and it unlocks right away.
My wife's is a hit and miss but she is never aiming the phone correctly. Once she does that it works.
