When i try to unlock my (Verizon) pixel it says fingerprint not recognized...
When i try rescanning it i keep getting this message "Fingerprint sensor is dirty please clean and try again "
So i clean it it works for awhile then my fingerprint is no longer recognized...
had this happen to two phones already! why does the sensor get so dirty? i use it normally- i put it in my pocket and maybe it will collect Alittle lint-normal use... but seriously is that all it takes to make the fingerprint sensor unusable? I never had such issues with my Iphone 6 and galaxy s7
Is anybody else having this issue?
I'm using my pixel constantly and never had this. It always recognize my print in a flash. Maybe defective? Or wash your hands more often?
I have been having the same issue. Never had this issue with my Nexus 5x.
hi guys, I solved my problem, by simply placing a piece of transparent tape onto the sensor, it prevents 90% of fingerprint smudges and dirt, I really can't recall last time I had to clean fingerprint sensor even with greasy fingers (AT LEAST ON ZUK Z2)

Has anyone else had these annoying issues with the V10?
T-Mobil version, nope
Verizon version, nope... Speaker is...okay. Fingerprint scanner has worked from day one with my Ringke case. No call drops even with just one or two bars.
On tmobile, I don't use the fingerprint scanner but don't have the other 2 problems.
No problems here.. H921N dual sim variant... Wtf are the carriers doing to these phones
Verizon, no case but the fingerprint is only an issue if my fingers are a bit wet. That's it though.
No dropped calls, and I'm not noticing any issues with the speaker like he was experiencing. My only bug is that it keeps offering me tutorials on connecting to Wi-Fi/Bluetooth whenever I open those settings. Gets annoying.
I got none of those problems

I only have a problem with the fingerprint sensor (without a case), nothing else.
T-Mobile variant here, haven't tried the fingerprint sensor but dont have the other two issues at all.
I have the T-Mobile phone and the finger print scanner with a case is a problem. Works only like 1 in 10 tries. Makes using the finger print scanner with a case not doable. But like he points out this problem has already been addressed on ATT and now just need an update from T-Moble (who would have thought ATT would get an update out first )
The other two issues mentioned in this I have not had.
Nope, don't use it and nope. T-mo bone stock.
No problems except for the fingerprint reader. I'm on Verizon using their clam shell case. It is horrid with the case on... I don't care much for the fingerprint reader anyway...

I have the T-Mobile version and only have the case issue, but its not an issue for me as I dont use cases.
I have no idea how he is having those other issues, but I dont have those other problems!
Not having any of these problems on Tmobile.
Mine is H901.
Speaker is soft comparing with G4, but mine does not have "decreasing volume" problem.
Fingerprint scanner problem with case can be easily fixed to put a conductor, but make sure your hand is dry enough.
Reception is OK with mine.
Mine problem is...USB jack because it's loose.
NO problems here as well...Had a minor issue with case not reading my fingerprint scanner, but was easily fixed. Just rescan your finger print with the case on, and also do the edges of your finger with a "poking" motion on the scanner.
H961N here.. I don't have any of those problems.
Can't say much about the fingerprint issue because I don't have any case (yet).
Fingerprint scanner is finicky with my Incipio case. Works great without case. I don't use fingerprint scanner so no biggie anyway.
Don't have the other two problems.
Give a big issue is Verizon and the fact that there is no root currently you cannot take advantage of the phone's processor or DAC if you do not have full access to the system's hardware they've taken the beautiful muscle car and put a governor on it.
Viper4android + DAC+custom roms and mods you sell a device like this is meant to be used. When I pay $700 for a freaking phone it better do everything it can.

Hi everyone,
I'm planning to buy Galaxy S8+, I'm just worried about the location of the fingerprint scanner.
Can anyone who has the device tell me their opinion? Is it easy to get used to it? Does it feel as natural as the front one after a while?
Thanks in advance,
David
I don't find it inconvenient but I do like center of phone better. My only complaint is it's a little slow half the time. But I wouldn't let the fingerprint steer me away from a otherwise great phone

Got the phone but don't use the fp scanner. I use eyeball scanner, have case on phone so no big deal on do scanner I am guided by the case. No biggie go buy your phone. S8+

I guess I'm not as paranoid as the rest are, I don't use either - just swipe to unlock the phone. Don't use any security but the finger print scanner is easy for me to use, if I wanted to use it.
I use the finger print scanner for shopping. Most of the time I'm on unlock due to location,like bluetooth on the car home wifi etc, the rest of the time I switch between eyes and finger print to unlock more to do with which up way I left the phone than preference. ?

Hello,
I had a Huawei P9, the fingerprint scanner was ideally placed for me, I have the S8 + for 15 days, at first I had difficulty placing min finger directly on the fingerprint scanner but after 2 days Use everything goes well.I also use the iris scanner that is perfect.
the fp scanner is the worse ive ever used, i dont mind the placemeny but it only works less than half the time i want to use it (probably because it is too small). the iris scanner is the best option, works all the time, even through sunglasses. Im pretty sure i could get used to it, but i prefer the iris scanner anyway
Fingerprint scanner works better than on my old S7. Only drawback is you have to pick phone up to use it. With it on front of the Z7 you could use it when phone was laying down. But with the fingerprint scanner and iris scanner both turned on, i'm happy with the S8+.
How did you guys manage when the phone is on your desk or a flat surface to unlock quickly like it was possible with the front fingerprint sensor on the OP5?
U will get used to it
I started to use face unlocking too, I have both set up and using the one that comes handy at that time.
I tried face unlocking on S8 and it sucked, it was very slow and I barely used it. On OnePlus 6 it is almost instant, you'll love it
btw: rear mounted fp reader is much safer for one handed use when unlocking while walking
I had this reservation as well, however i got the phone anyways.
Honestly, i love the face unlock, its amazingly fast.
A tip if you want fingerprints added as well:
I noticed also adding the side of my finger as a secondary "fingerprint" improved my success rate when using it, i often find the side of my finger hitting the sensor due to my way of holding the phone.
Coming from a Nexus 6p, I'm completely used to a rear fingerprint sensor, so no issues with OP6. My wife has used Samsung phones for quite a while now and I occasionally use her devices. I found the front sensor a bit clumsy, but that's surely just because I wasn't used to holding a phone that way. I wouldn't be too concerned about the difference between front and back. We humans usually have a way of adapting!
I can't for the life of me get my phone to unlock with my fingerprint. Is there a way to adjust the screen sensitivity or something?
I have to smash my finger against the screen to get it to work. I never get it on my first try. Some days I feel like it never works and I have to reconfigure all of my fingerprints. Maybe my expectations were too high for this fingerprint sensor.
Sounds like a possible hardware problem with the sensor...I say this because I have two 7 Pro's in the house and neither one of them has any problems at all with the sensor running 10.0.02. YMMV
I think the performance improved a little for me when I took the factory screen protector off.
Register your finger for a second time, just keep trying, it will work eventually
The fingerprint reader on my Note 10+ is terrible!
It often doesn't recognise 4 or 5 attempts in a row, then locking me out from further biometrical login and I have to use my PIN to get into my phone.
I was kind of expecting for this forum to be full of this problem. Is it only me then?

Update to Official Android 10 , and re-write your review after doing that ! :good:
Also look arround for threads regarding some tricks to get a "beter" fingerprint registration
I am on Android 10 already.
It already starts when registering a fingerprint. It constantly says "Press a little harder" when I'm already pressing my thumb right through the screen.
It got that bad after Samsung published the update after people found out their ****ty fingerprint sensor can be fooled by having a screen protector on.
Since then, my fingerprint sensor has been pretty much all but useless.
Your not alone its crappy they should of kept it on the back
im very dissapointed with that fingerprint sensor on my predecessor p30 pro is it shame.. slow and inaccurate, maybe This is due to plastic foil but thats Thinnest foil What ever exists
It only works well if your fingers are little moisturized. Otherwise, it failed often
Yep, I have dry skin and that makes it extremely difficult for the scanner.

Man honestly I wish they would have put the scanner in the power button like on th Huawei mate30 pro
Yes it's rubbish. Worst fingerpront scanner on any phone I've owned. The poor scanner, dropped calls and scrolling issues stop this phone from being 10/10. All very big problems too. I would have kept my Note 8 and not bought this phone had I known.
I just don't use it, lol. Actually I don't use any lock screen at all, not even swipe. I find them annoying. I hide all my stuff in Termux which the average user or theif wouldn't think to look, or even know what they are looking at, lol. I could always lock it or erase it remotely with a few clicks on Google. As long as it's turned on and connected to the internet.
Try this
Register 2 fingerprints only for the same finger with many angles as you can,its worked well for me
I've stopped using the fingerprint scanner altogether and now use facial recognitiong (quick) which works flawlessly.
