The SD 820 features a new system where the fingerprint maps the finger in 3D and it can recognise sweat. This will be good for security but will the S7 use this in its fingerprint sensor?

Hi,
Is there any difference between G-Sensor and Gyro Sensor?
HTC Sensation specifications states both sensors
Sensors
Gyro sensor
G-Sensor
Digital compass
Proximity sensor
Ambient light sensor
There is, but it's kinda subtle.
A G-sensor (accelerometer) can measure the change in acceleration of the device towards a direction. If you move the handset with a constant speed (no acceleration) then it shouldn't pick any signal. However, when moving their hand people change the speed slightly so an accelerometer picks that, but it will look sluggish.
A gyroscope can measure orientation, rotation and speed, so it can complement data collected from the accelerometer to smoothen out the reading of movement a great deal.
It's not the most important thing ever, but it's definitely a plus. Apps that use gyroscopes (mostly games and augmented reality apps) behave way more smoothly with it.
To put it more simply: The G-sensor measures the movement of the device. (By measuring acceleration). The gyro measures the tilt. They can work together to get more precise measurments of both.
Thanks for the explanations Guys...
Hello,
Is there any options to have an active fingerprint scanner in our S7/S7E without root like in A5 2k17 or S8?
I just download "Always on amoled" available in play store, and with this app i don't have too click on home button to wake up my phone....but that app is not good enough for me.
up
Super Man rom have this feature however it is buggy works for a while and goes deep sleep. This is hardware / driver specific fault maybe someone will manage to port fingerprint scanner driver from 2017 A series.
I think Always On Amoled app is decent enough
I Really like the dim privacy screen protectors but I'm afraid they might just block out the optical fingerprint scanner
has anyone tried a "privacy" screen protector on the device and can confirm if the fingerprint scanner is working or not ?
If a normal screen protector works then the privacy one will work too. I'm not using any protector, the fingerprint scanner is under the screen so it's already hard for it to detect your fingerprint easily. i don't think that it will work. So you have to choose between one of them. Privacy or fingerprint scanner. Personally i don't think that the fingerprint in this phone is practical enough to use it in a daily basis. I think using a face detector would be better or just a basic security pattern.
Doesn't someone happen to have a complete list of sensors in OP8 (proximity, light, rotation etc.) - ideally as an output of some sensor detect app (I don't trust manufacturer specs .
I'm especially interested whether pressure/barometric sensor is included this time.
Thanks!

All except Baro no pressure sensor
How accurate fingerprint reader is for you? Does it work fine or is hit-and-miss?
Moreover, is it active all the time, even when screen is off? Or I need to turn on screen first then put my finger on scanner?
Jerry Rig Everything has some details about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SqEY8j91tk&t=5m1s
Optical fingerprint scanner which needs illumination to work. It works well in the stock ROM, however, some alternate ROMs struggle with the illumination and therefor struggle with the scanning.
