try to disable screen unlock magazine(Magazine Unlock) and the sensor will remain working.

I'm using the fingerprint scanner on the back but it doesn't vibrate when you've incorrectly placed your finger on it. LG v20 does which is quite handy, so you know immediately if your finger is in the right place or not.
does anyone know how to to turn it on? or can you even..... I've tried googling but couldn't find anything and I tried searching forums but nothing on the s8/s8+
thanks
Don't know, but my phone definitely vibrates when it can't recognize the fingerprint...

Are you trying it from the lock screen or with AOD on/screen off? From the lock screen I get a vibrate if it's wrong or misread only. When my screen is showing the AOD, I get no vibrate with my attempts at all, regardless of it being right or wrong/misread.
I'm not using AOD if that helps.

on a side note when AOD is on and the phone is in your pocket does it turn off or stay on? same as on a table upside down.

Giving a few more tests it seems that my phone does vibrate with the fingerprint attempts with screen off.
AOD should be off when the proximity sensor detects it in a pocket or face down, basically when something is close to the phone screen. An easy way to tell is to leave it face down or remove it from your pocket and look at the screen as soon as possible and you should see that there is nothing there at first.
Try this:
Go to Settings -> Sounds and vibration -> Vibration Intensity and turn up the vibration feedback. Mine was set about mid way and was working. With it set to the lowest setting I didn't feel any vibration with the wrong finger (to simulate a misread).

Hello,
I just got my new S8+ and am highly irritated. Most of time my S7edge lies next to me on my desk, AoD not being active. If I want to check something, I simply press the hardware home button on my S7e and it unlocks via fingerprint. Same when I have the phone in my car holder.
Now I don't know how can I wake up and unlock my S8+ while it lies flat on my desk or is in my car holder. Do I need to use oldschool passcode?
Thanks

You talk like a small kid man. Didn't you see the finger print scanner is at the back instead of front. So you could either get use to it or return your phone.

You can press the power button and use the iris or face unlock as well as the passcode/pattern. Obviously, the iris and face unlocks would require you to align your face with the iris/face scanner. I hope that's not too much irritation for you.

Thank you for your kind words. Yes I knew the fingerprint sensor is on the back, but I didn't think it through that I can't unlock the phone in a convenient way when it is lying next to me on the desk.
Guess I got so used to unlock via home button on my S7edge, that I didn't think about an alternative to it.
If I don't want to enter a passcode, I literally have to pick up the phone every time I want to unlock it, either by FP sensor on the back or by using the iris scanner, right?

sorry for that. To I guess if you want convenience then facial recognition would be best. Otherwise I think maybe Google lock where you can make home require no security.

Same problem here, i had to resort to using a pin to unlock it, the iris scanner would work but only if the phone is at exactly the right angle (which it wont be on a desk). Less of a problem for me as I came from an S5 where I never had the luxury of just pressing the home button to unlock with a fingerprint anyway so i always had to use a code, but it still irritates me.
This is what comes of rushing out a phone that isn't quite ready and having to stick the fingerpring scanner on the back, in the wrong place, at the last minute, instead of taking a few weeks extra to get it under the screen (there was no real pressure to release it right now, it's not like they were trying to beat an imminent iphone release or a christmas rush).
Red screens aside, my only real irritation with it is that fingerprint scanner, and the dirt that collects along the top edge of the glass where it meets the frame.
Go into settings and set home button to unlock with force touch or whatever Samsung is calling it. This will wake display, then use pin, pattern, iris, or face unlock to open your phone. I'd suggest either pattern or pin if you don't want to pick the phone up at all. Not as fast as fingerprint scanner on front but will get you into your phone without lifting it from desk,counters,etc. Also keeps you from having to press a hardware button to wake display. Hope this helps.
Yes, the unlock options are irritating
I have 'Smart Lock' enabled and use 'Location'. I set my office as a 'Secure Location' which keeps the phone unlocked until I move it elsewhere. Big fan of this feature.
I just tried the iris scanner, which worked the few times it tested it. But it seems like after waking up the screen I still need to swipe the little lock-symbol before I get to the Iris/passcode section.
This is now not only 1, but 2 steps more to unlocking. Even 3 steps if you count that I need to pickup the phone.
So from pressing simply on my S7edge home button in order to see my unlocked Home Screen, on my S8+ I now need to:
1. Wake the screen up by pressing power button or hold the home button for a second
2. Swipe the screen to get to the unlock step
3. Unlock via Passcode or pick the phone up to look into it like an idiot
From my point of view this went from SUPER convenient to "that escalated quickly" 3-steps inconvenience.....
Why not try to use the Samsung watch ie the Gear and select Smart Lock?

I understand, but I don't like this feature at all because the very idea of the lock is that only I can unlock it. With "Secure Location" anyone could access my phone, unless I have it stick to me all the time.

very true but I guess then you have to place it upside down for quick finger print touch like I do.

Maybe i can give you some pointers..?
This is my setup. Maybe you can improvise procedure a bit?
Only one step.!
Firstly, i don't use any lockscreen.Not necessarily. Stock or 3rd party (I have a few paid lockscreen options)
Anyway i normally use Gravity Screen app
(i have the paid version, Play store )
In Short it works on either motion or proximity sensor. Battery friendly,
If i pick phone up it turns on.!
if i put phone flat it turns off (sleep) No need for lockscreen.
Also has stock Smart Stay enable in Phone /Settings /Accessibility /Dexterity /Smart stay on. Wave your hand over phone to wake up.?
However,
Now and then i press power key to wake phone.
Otherwise i use above.

You can add your adress or bluetooth device like a security place to unlock your phone without passwords/iris/face/fingerprint.

Use the 'Trusted Voice' option then. Voice recognition. Other than that, I think the answer to your question is to deal with it. It's a cell phone and not a robot. You can only do so much without having to actually pick it up. I think this is what my wife refers to as 'laziness' during her daily rants that I tend to ignore.

The problem is caused by aggressive doze and has been resolved.
--------------------
I upgraded to OOS 5.1.6 yesterday, then I found that I can't unlock my phone by fingerprint when the screen is off. After some tests, I realize this is a problem with pocket mode.
When the phone is in my pocket, which means that the distance sensor is covered by an object, I can't unlock my phone by fingerprint or use screen off gesture. When I take the phone out of my pocket, I should be able to use these features again. But in OOS 5.1.6, after I take the phone out of my pocket, I can't do these unless I press the power button.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Do you have ang Glass screen protector that covers proximity sensor?
Really strange. I also updated my OP6 to OOS 5.1.6 and I don't encountered any problem with fingerprint or face unlock. I also have a full and original OP screen protector.
That wasn't just 5.1.6 it happened in 5.1.5 too. It's because the proximity sensor isn't going to stay on 24/7 and waste battery just to see if it's in your pocket. It'll check, if it's in a pocket it'll disable the fingerprint sensor and double tap to wake for a short amount of time, then check again, repeat.

Yes, I think that if you are in doze mode, the system will check the distance sensor less. Or maybe this is just a problem of the optimize app.
Nope, no issues at all really and nothing with teh fingerprint sensor not responding from in pocket since being on 5.1.6 since Saturday. I have the regular pre-installed protector on. I also have the aggressive doze on and only Textra, Whatsapp and Blue Mail whitelisted.

Hi All,
There's this weird thing happening with my Note.
Initially I had just bought a thicker phone case and noticed that I wasn't able to swipe down for my notification menu, I'd have to kinda hold my finger right up beside the front camera hole until I saw the shade come down then I could pull. To fix this I turned on "swipe down" for the notification menu. That was fine with me for a few days, until about 2 days ago when the phone would start to just freeze up when using it and I had to lock the screen and then unlock or reboot the phone for it to work again.
I got really frustrated and last night wiped the device clean and re-installed the OS without pulling back the apps I already had on it, and the problem was still there.
I had the factory screen protector on it, I though maybe that could compromised so I pulled it off this morning and it still does it.
I can use the phone fine with the s-pen, so I turned on dev options and went in and turned on the setting to show where I touch on the screen. Because I wanted to see what was up. Once I switched it on, I noticed that from time to time there would be a whole trail of presses happening at the top bar of the phone and it would always kinda gather up at the top right side of the camera punch hole. Once that shows up, the notification bar pulls down by itself, sometimes all the way to the bottom of the screen or half way. But the whole screen stops responding, pulling the s-pen and pushing it back up works. I can use it with the pen but not my fingers and it is very frustrating.
Has this happened to anyone? Is this a in-home fix? Or Do I need a replacement?
Hi its happening for me as well. with the latest pie update not android 10 beta

I don't quite remember my build number, but it was running Android 9. Unfortunately we don't really have a Samsung service center here in Jamaica (well we do have a samsung place but they'll tell you if you bought it elsewhere take it there) it's my company phone so I just sent it back to our supplier to have it repaired. They said roughly 2 weeks to get it back. We bought 2 at the same time, the other doesn't charge properly with the stock charger the person has to use a S8 charger to get quick charge (weird i know) In any event, the plan is that when I get it back I'll just put in a request for the Note 10+ and call it a day.
