My fingerprint sensor will just stop working and I need to reboot it in order to make it work again. It doesn't detect my finger at all , it's like its dead. I have the Verizon s8+, pre ordered it and got it on 4/20. I don't suffer from the dqa issue but i have another s8 plus, also pre ordered that does suffer from the issue. Anyone know of a fix or know how we can bring this to light in order to get it fixed
Edit: I believe the fix is to go into lock screen and security, after which go to secure lock settings and select the lock automatically option, and set it to immediately. I tested it when my fingerprint sensor wasn't working, and it fixed it for me
Edit #2: That did not fix it forever , issue came back within 30 minutes, from my testing it appears that fidgeting with the following (1. Screen Timeout 2. The Automatic lock timer 3. Lock instantly with power key) causes the issue to disappear or appear. I have contacted Samsung about it and they suggested a factory reset, not giving 2 ****s about the issue, they couldn't even tell me if they were working on a fix.
Edit #3: wow, didn't expect this page to become so popular as I didn't think this was such a big issue, my final solution was turning off fingerprint gestures, haven't experienced the issue after that, I've tried to factory reset the phone multiple times.
P. S. I have been able to achieve better speeds with the Iris scanner, a key trick to getting it to unlock faster is to look right into the sensor, which is the smaller circle next to the camera in the top right corner
Should've clarified the dqa issue is not what i'm worried about, just wanted to point out the weirdness of these bugs, It's the fingerprint issue i'm worried about
Mine does the same thing....TMobile version....It works great, and then randomly won't work at all and I have to reboot
I have the same problem here.
Weird, I noticed this issue today
Posted in the other thread about the same problem. I noticed this today as well. Most of the time significantly moving the phone and scanning my finger again seems to work. I am yet to encounter this issue when the phone is actually unlocked authenticating to an app or something. So far it all seems to be limited to the lock screen in that the phone does not want to register a scan of the finger at all, as though the scanner is not there.
Same

Same, I really dont want to get a new one. I need a answer and your the only post of source that has the same problem as me.
Same issues here, very annoying. T-Mobile version. We have two S8 and one of them is working fine, the other one it's having fingerprint issues. Any ideas on how to fix this? I hope is a software issue.

I think it is software related. It seems to intermittent and in my case seems to be related to limited movement before scanning the finger as I only see this when trying to unlock. In other words, it seems the unlock needs an accelerator event before unlock event to work, and no movement such as a finger resting on the screen doesn't detect.
Have you tried disabling Optimize Battery Usage for the Fingerprint system app?
Mine is doing the same thing. It's almost completey random as to when the fingerprint sensor works. It's not as if it isn't recognizing my fingerprint, it's as if the sensor is completely dead or inactive. I'm tempted to return the phone and re-order but I have a trip coming up that I would like the phone for but if I wait until I return I will be past my 20 days.
Very frustrating after having to return my Note 7 like 3 times.
Does this seem software related?
Not sure it is software related. I have another S8, same carrier (T-Mobile) same firmware same software updates, version etc. Both came on April 19. Mine is having issues since I got it, the other one 7 days later no issues at all. I called Samsung and they told me if a factory reset does not solve the issue, to go to the store and get a new one. I will get a replacement tomorrow. I am on the edge with Samsung coming from a Note 7 user....

That's good to know. I ordered mine online through T-Mobile and they require me to send it back through the mail. They won't let me exchange it in store. So dumb. They also won't send me out the replacement before I send the broken one back. Looks like I will be without a phone for a few days.
I'm getting real sick of this loss of quality control with Samsung.
'
Yeah same here, but. You can call customer service and ask them to send the replacement phone at a store near you. This is what they have done for me. I will go tomorrow to pick up the replacement phone and I will give them back the old one. Is stupid but it is what it is. I think because the stores are individual franchises, maybe. who the heck knows. If the second one does the same I am pretty much done with Samsung. I had enough with my Note 7, now this. grrr
So this morning I once again had the sensor shut down. It's not just on the lock screen. After unlocking with the pin I was unable to use the fingerprint sensor to bring the notification menu down either.
I'm going to go to Verizon after work today and get a replacement.
I had no time to go and get the replacement today. However, no issues in the last 48 hours. For some reason is just working. I might go tomorrow and get a new one just to be on the safe side, I hope.

I just did it, when Imade the thread I didn't know where to find the option, upon looking further I found it.
For anyone wondering, go to apps, then app manager, then in the upper right corner click on the option icon , then click on special access, then click on optimize battery usage, then click on "Apps not optimized" and then select "All apps", then scroll down and look for Fingerprint app(I don't know if this is the only app having to do with the fingerprint sensor) and untoggle it.
P.S. I dont know if this works or not, as I have not experienced the bug for over 36 hours
Edit: this did not work, I just experienced the bug again, the fix is to go to
lock screen and security, then to secure lock settings, and set the automatic lock to immediately.
Edit #2: This did not work , see OP for more info

So we are on a trip in Ireland and my wife and I both got brand new S6 Edges before we left. Hers was fine until yesterday when all of her pictures we taking upside down. We also notice that the settings are upside down as wll and will not rotate. We have tried everything and nothing fixes it. We even reset all the setting and still not working. I did a search and found lots of complaints about this on Google. Just a heads us as there doesn't seem to be a fix for this. Even hard resetting doesn't seem to fix the problem. Very frustrated when paying $800 for a phone and there are issues like this.

Ya, there's been a few articles written about the issue and a couple threads on here. Such a pain, especially for your situation. I still haven't seen if Samsung has addressed the issue at all yet. I'm on my second edge but don't have much hope that the issue will arise again.
Verizon has acknowledged a problem with the sensor in the edge that controls the auto rotate. Maybe it's related.

Yea, that's what causes the camera issue. Do you know if they've said if it's hardware or software? After the 2nd edge had the issue, I just went in and swapped for the regular s6.

Ya, they did a quick Google search and I had no issues swapping it. I searched this morning and did find a few reports of it on the reg S6...I've got my fingers crossed.
My phone is out of the return window now and dealing with customer service is probably my last resort.
My phone is on stock Touchwiz and unrooted, T-mobile variant. I have factory reset my phone 3 times and deleted the cache but these issues remain.
Here are some of the issues I have had. I am hoping they are software, but I couldn't find much information on any of them. If you also have experienced these, please let me know just to know that I'm not crazy and alone in this.
Camera app will be black on launch and crash due to an error. - This reminds me of the Lollipop software issue that I had on my Nexus 5 so I'm not too concerned since an update is coming out, but it is still bothersome when I bought the S6 for the fast camera launch but I have to restart the phone because I get this error. At least restarting the phone fixes this.
Phone vibration is inconsistent or weak. - The vibration was strongest when I first bought it, but it has grown considerably weaker. It still can be strong sometimes, but it fluctuates. Sometimes the vibration is so weak that I can't feel anything unless I put it on max strength under Vibration settings, but it sometimes fixes itself and isn't as weak. It hasn't been as strong since I first got it from what I remember. Restarting the phone does not fix it. It just comes and goes.
Phone does not receive or send sound when answering or making phonecalls. - This is hard to explain, but sometimes when I'm making a call, the dial tone will never sound and if the call looks as if it has gone through, there will be no sound. The person will say they received a call but didn't hear anything as well. This also happens if someone gives me a call and I pick up and hear no sound. A phone restart usually doesn't fix this, but sometimes it just magically works again.
Sound turned off by itself. - This has only happened once or twice so far but it was bothersome. I didn't change or touch any of my settings for this to happen. My sound just stopped working. Youtube app, volume settings, etc. didn't create any sound. When my alarm went off, it made no noise. Restarting the phone would fix it.
Anyway, please let me know if you have had these similar problems. Is it likely they are software related? I can't find any solutions and if a factory reset is not fixing it, I don't know what to do.
Thank you!

Hi Guys,
Just got my phone replaced because the screen was sometimes unresponsive when layed flat on a surface.
Now I got a problem with the rear facing camera. When I open the camera app the auto focus doesn't always work. As result I get very blurry photo's
I made a short video to show you guys the problem:
Can you guys tell me if this could be a hardware or software problem. I performed a hard reset and reboot but the problem still occurs from time to time.
Ps. I didnt drop my phone and I removed the plastic of the camera lens and led flash, so that cant be the problem.
Since the problem cant be solved with a hard reset, I guess it's a hardware problem. So I contacted my carrier and I will get a new phone. Hopefully this time a phone without problems/bugs.
I will keep you guys updated.
I have that problem too, shaking the phone unlock the focus. It seems to be hardware problem, using the manual focus in pro mode change nothing, only way to fix it for me is wait like 30 to 60s or shake the phone.
I try to get a replacement but obviously, it works perfectly the two times they check :silly:
I had the same problem in the store like you. When I wanted to show the problem to a shop assistant, the camera worked perfectly :silly:
But (thankfully) they believed me and one of these days I will get a replacement because they didnt had any in stock to give me right away.
Maybe you can show them the video on YouTube and tell them that there are more people with the same problem?
I think I will keep it like this for now, and I will ask for a replacement just before the warranty end, so I will have a new phone ^^ I'm used to it now, if it bug, I just shake it and all is fine.
Yeah that would be great. Only I'm afraid that here in the Netherlands the phone will be send to get repaired instead of getting replaced. Only in the first two months i can get it replaced, at least that is what the T-mobile shop assistant said to me.
One of my friend has the same issue. She figured out that she "just" needs to hit the phone on its front top left corner (not hard) and it suddenly works.
yeah thnx, that works most of the time. Still I would bring it back to get it repaired or get a replacement. Yesterday for example, I wanted to take a picture of a fast bike passing through but I ended up with a blurry picture. That shouldnt had happened and I dont want it to happen again.
Still thanks for the tip.
i have the same problem.. the camera take too long to focus or does not focus at all, i need to shake the phone.. i called tmobile and they will give me a replacement.
root the phone then add this to build.prop to fix it

Where do I add that line in the build prop?
I have almost the same problem. Only facing this issue on third party camera apps like Snapchat or Facebook messenger, besides that it works fine. No problems on stock (yet).
Similar Issue
I went hiking one day back at the end of May, and inadvertently left my S6 in the car, which of course, got very hot during the day. After getting back to my car almost 9 hours later, my phone was almost too hot to even touch. I promptly removed the slim case that was on it, and held it up to the A/C (not ice cold, was trying to avoid condensation).
Ever since then, when going into 3rd party apps (most notably Snapchat, and sometimes even the stock camera app) the auto-focus motor seems to get stuck.
The easiest fix for me so far seems to be shaking my phone up and down rapidly 1-2 times. Upon doing this, I can hear a faint *click* and the focus works as normal.
This is very obnoxious as I've missed many shots due to having to do this (and sometimes it doesn't always work). Hard reset has done nothing, so I'm assuming maybe something in the camera got damaged due to excessive heat.
***Edit: After talking to my insurance provider (Squaretrade), they told me that this was still under manufacturer warranty, and to go through my carrier. After taking the phone to Verizon, it was discovered that the water-damage indicator had the slightest bit of red/pink on it, deeming it "water damaged". I later checked this myself at home and there definitely was some red on the strip.
Contacted Squaretrade again, informing them of the new situation, and they advised they would send a refund for the phone (since it was from eBay).
Hopefully the new phone will not have this issue!
Hi guys ..
I was suffering from the same problem .
The problem is the focus of the camera in galaxy s6 just like the Video, .
The solution is:
delete this line : ro.ril.sensor.sleep.control = 0
from ( build.prop )
you can find it in : system/build.prop
Using this program with root access : (Root Browser)
*i can not insert the link because i am a new user here .
after you click on build.prop chose (RB Text Editor)
note : (i am arabic man so my english is not good )
Anyone managed to fix this issue with the method above?
Yup..This is still common.. How does one fix without root?
Solution not working for me I did non fount the line ro.ril.sensor.sleep.control = 0 in my build.prop.. i tried to add the line but nothing changed problem still remains
I had the same camera issue. I took my phone to Samsung and they replaced the camera module.
Now it works perfectly.
Saludos ?

So what? I have that to, went to an official Samsung Store and they (tried) to fix it
Having the problem myself btw, but if i aim the sensor to the ground en go back up its fixed, not so big problem. Only when selling the phone i want it fixed so its worth more...
Just got my Pixel 3 the other day and have started to put it to regular use, I'm coming from a Pixel OG that only missed swipes if my finger was damp or such. At first I thought it was due to my case but even without it on the swipe gesture on the fingerprint sensor is more miss than hit. I'm not talking about unlocking which happens every time, but trying to pull down notifications or quick settings with a swipe on the fingerprint sensor (yes it's enabled).
Anyone else with this issue or do I possibly have a finicky sensor?
Thanks
I've had some issues with mine but not a ton, yet. It works fine for unlocking as you said but sometimes swiping down doesn't do anything and I have to swipe a few times or just pull the shade with the screen. I believe I saw a post here or on reddit about it a few weeks ago. Not sure if it's something that can be addressed via software fixes or not.
That's not encouraging to hear, that's a feature I use all the time. And on my pixel OG it worked flawlessly so this is definitely not usual performance.

It's not "usual" and likely not working as intended but it's not a problem specific to your device. Assuming it's something they can adjust with software it should be fixed in an update vs an RMA for your specific phone. That's kind of what I was getting at with my reply.
Yes I understood it as it being a problem on more than mine but made me think it could be a hardware issue. Hopefully that's something that can be addressed with software.

only time i had the issue was with a case on. other than that.. its been perfect
I've noticed similar behavior on mine. If I slow my finger down a bit it's typically 100%. But if my finger moves too fast, it doesn't always work.
works 1 out of 3 times for me. I'm using a skin, no case. Anyways, i would only use the feature in "one-hand-mode", and it's a big stretch for my finger the way that i carry the phone...
Open the dialer app, and type *#*#7378423#*#* to open the Service Menu, from there go to Service Tests and scroll down until you find Fingerprint test.
Please post the results here with your device model number (J8110, J9110, J8170), device build number (55.x.x.x.x), age of your device and whether or not you have issues with the fingerprint scanner.
Trying to figure out a pattern and it seems like XDA is more active (in comparison) than other forums for Sony devices.
Thanks.
J9110 flashed with J8170.
On 55.0.A.10.26 (pie), used to say "PASS"
On latest 55.1.A.0.748, now says fail. but fingerprint sensor works fine.
I'm guessing it's just a software issue.

Yeah I wish I had more time to test on Pie but I upgraded to 10 almost immediately and the fingerprint has been hit or miss from the start, but for the past day it's been quite bad.
Now it won't unlock unless I completely wipe down the sensor and make sure it's 100% clean, after which it unlocks just fine, but after that it won't unlock till I clean it again.
Quite frustrating, but judging from what I've read, it seems like Sony messed up big time with the Android 10 update for the X1, so I can imagine me and many others are eagerly waiting for a new update.
By the way, do you have any issues on a 'converted' device? Anything not working as intended? And do OTA updates work or do you have to flash every new build manually?

It works 90% of the time for me. Especially after I "trained" the fingerprint sensor. Basically open up the fingerprint settings, then constantly tap your finger, moving your finger slightly with each tap to cover your whole thumb.
IMO the update is fine! Well at least for me. I did a software reset after updating.
OTA updates fine Haven't tested out the dual sim, but I'm assuming it won't work. The only time I had to flash a new build was when I updated from Pie to 10, because I usually do a full wipe during a major update.
I'm using J9110 with latest stock EU firmware. The sensor does not work at all. Even weirder, there is no option to test the sensor in service menu and I cannot find fingerprint scanner in device options. Out of the box the sensor worked great, but gradually started failing after 1 year of use.
Update: I took some screenshots and compared them to other Sony device with working FPS - there is clearly something fishy going on.
The third screenshot is what happens when I launch Fingerprint Manager with Activity Launcher app and try to register a new fingerprint.
@kot5nik exact same issue, mine is entirely missing. Worked at first, gradually started breaking and was intermittent in functionality, then just gone.

You update to 11? Otherwise I think you backup and flash with 12.28 to get it back.
problem is same, fingerprint menu is gone.
J9110

anyone solved this problem? please share ..
Since new firmware 55.2.A.4.47, fingerprint works for 1hour, then just start detecting ton of wrong prints even without finger on the sensor, and shut down completely until the phone is restarted. FingerprintTest showing "NOT OK" at this time. FingerprintTest showing OK after a restart.
I'm so sad I'm not able to get Flashtool working to go back to previous firmware. The fingerprint was working really great for the last 10 months (first months were really hit or miss tho).
if u are on Android 11 now u can't downgrade to Android 10 anymore...u can but it's not working well anymore.!
i tried many times going back to Android 9 after updated to Android 10.
after flashing older Android 9 fw Gyroscope sensor isn't working anymore on lower version of Android
I succeed to revert back to Android 10, but it didn't solve the issue with the fingerprint. If you got some issue with another sensor, I will guess that the "drivers" for the sensor can be changed by an update but are not rolled back correctly, thus the creating issue or not solving mine since the faulty "driver" for the FP reader stay the same.
After a day of not even having the fingerprint management in the security options, Support asked me to do a forced reboot (volume up + power) to see if it solves momentarily the reader, there is a well known issue and they are working on a fix. It did solve the issue momentarily so I guess my FP reader is not completely dead (it was my conclusion seing it was still an issue once reverted to Android10) and I just have to wait for a fix.

Sorry for really late answer. Yes I updated to 11 right after it came out.
To prove the theory of update bricking it I bought a replacement sensor from AliExpress (when it arrived, it was clearly a new one, in OEM packaging) and it didn't work either.
In the process of replacement I accidentally broke the screen (because was really hard to replace, at least with my experience, way harder than battery, motherboard, etc.). So I really don't recommend trying this to anyone.
Now there is no point to downgrading, heh.
And no, on 11 firmware shutting the phone down completely or force reboot does not help. I tried everything I could before going for replacement, including full data wipe and disconnecting the battery with inside connector for some time.
Been having the same issue but I can get the fingerprint sensor to work sometimes after booting into safe mode and then booting normally, read that from another post somewhere but can't seem to find it. Mine also keeps disconnecting from LTE and drops to H+ and has been doing that a lot recently I hope that they will update some of this soon getting pretty frustrated with it, any of you been seeing that in addition to the fingerprint issue?
My fingeprint sensor on XPERIA 1 is there in menu but it is not working at all. Can't recognize my finger at all. Resset didn't help as well as restart to safe mode. I gess it is dead. Or is there something else wrong?
The fingerprint on my Xperia 1 is notice with "Could not read fingerprint", because "Fingerprint enrollment time limit reached" (like image attached)

So, the warranty on mine was over and they asked me 335 euro for "REPLACEMENT FRONT COVER WITH FINGERPRINT READER" (also change the internal fingerprint reader module)
According to them so it is a hardware problem, but at that price certainly not worth it to repair it.
