Hi,
I have found 3 mornings in a row that when the phone is in my pocket and I walk to work its clearly trying to turn itself on, as when I pull it out the phone is in suspend mode and says I can't unlock it for 15 mins. It must be responding to sensors or the power button isn't strong enough to avoid accidental presses.
It says "fingerprint suspended try again in x minutes". The pin entry is non responsive during this time so its clearly a security lock which is being triggered by false movements.
Its a pita and clearly shouldn't be occurring. I've never had the problem before with any other phone.
Any ideas as a workaround or solution?
thanks
Could it be you are accidentally touching the fingerprint sensor while walking? In smart assistance settings there is an option to disable touch while device is in your pocket. Have you tried turning this on?
Those are the only tips that come to mind, tried it with my mate9 but cannot seem to reproduce this.

YES! Thats just the setting I was looking for thanks it was driving me nuts but I couldn't find the setting! EMUI is subtly different having been used to Samsungs for the last 6 years!
Still have pocket reset

Hi guys, even if the setting has been enabled on my Mate 9, the phone still try to open itself when I'm walking around.
Do you know if I can turn off the reset function after 10 failed password?
Honestly, this is getting so annoying that I'm thinking about changing phone again...
Thank you!

Hello all,
i received my U11 last week very pleased with it, but i cant get rid of the vibration on the fingerprint reader and it annoys me a lot.
anyone knows how to disabel it?
many thanks,

Well, you could enable powersave mode so that when you press home it won't vibrate. If you're talking about vibrating when scanning your finger, I'm afraid that's not possible unless a dev decides this is a worthwhile feature to add (maybe to a kernel? IDK)
Yes, that's it. I just think it makes no sense to alwahys viber when we access the phone with a valid finger. for me its annoying.
Whenever my hand lands on the fingerprint when iam holding the phone it vibrates and its annoying unlike my previous k20 pro i didnt face this problem there must be some toggle or settings that i can enable to remove this problem any suggestions ????? Thank you ....

How is tha gonna stop accidental fingerprint detection and vibration??
The solution is to deactivate the fingerprint sensor ?
More seriously, there is no false detection, the sensor is doing its job, as soon as it feels a finger it tries to visualize the fingerprint, I do not see what is boring, If it wasn't so sharp it would be a nightmare to unlock the device !

No, you're wrong. It could be set to only vibrate when it detects a correct fingerprint. Which would be much more logical in my opinion. Or give the option to only activate the fingerprint sensor after power button is pressed.

the vibration is not there to validate the unlocking, something that we see anyway when the home screen opens, but to say that the analysis of the finger starts and that we are at the right place..
The last option might be fine for you, but personally it's a waste of time having to press a key before I can scan my finger, not sure Poco implements this In a future update ! ?

These options should be there for those who want them, they're easy to implement. Options are good I too find it annoying reaching into my pocket and having the phone light up and vibrate unintentionally.
Yeah noticed that also here where it rarely happend with my k20. It's just the new fingerprint placement.

Yes indeed having more options is positive, I'm just saying that I don't think they will, as it's a pretty special option that very few require.
Normally if you are looking for the device in the pocket, it should not turn on or vibrate because it is deactivated by the proximity sensor, in any case mine remains as dead if I hide the part upper screen..
I hope for you that a function will emerge
For me, it is clear that the "old" hardware fingerprint sensor is much better than the modern software sensor that's imposed on new devices.
But we cannot change this, so yes : some options for lock screen vibration activation-deactivation are welcome. Me too don't like to feel the phone vibration every time I touch accidentally the screen trying to extract something of my pocket, including the phone.

You can disable 'haptic feedback' in the settings, it will disable the fingerprint sensor's vibration too.

But that disables vibration system wide doesn't it?

Yes, only for interactions like button press, gestures,etc.
I've just replaced the screen on my friends S5 Pro and currently don't have a working FP sensor. I've double checked and the sensor is seated correctly and there is nothing obscuring its little window on the screen.
I want to recalibrate the sensor, but cannot find a way to do this. All of the useful dialer hidden codes are disabled. It might be that doing a factory reset or re-flashing the full firmware would trigger the sensor to calibrate itself, however my friend spent days getting everything just how he likes things and says he'd rather live without the sensor than have to set everything up again and doesn't trust non-root backup solutions to work properly. He doesn't want to unlock his bootloader, so rooting is out of the question.
Does anyone know of any way to get into some kind of engineering mode on this phone to be able to force a fingerprint sensor calibration?

The fingerprint sensor went completely over the cuckoo's nest in my Umidigi S5 Pro for no apparent reason, now I can't use it at all. Any ideas?
Same thing happened to me shortly after an OTA update if I remember correctly... any luck with a fix thus far?
The Fingerprint Unlock feature on this phone NEVER works for me, Adding my fingerprint is really a nightmare, the fingerprint sensor is a joke. Every time when I put my finger on the sensor, either "fingerprint sensor is dirty, please clean and try again" or "only partial fingerprint is scanned" pops up and nothing was done. Does anyone use this feature successfully? Thank you for the info, regards.

Hey there.
I can confirm that the fingerprint sensor has some problems, especially if you use a cover.
And gives more errors when you try to use the big thumb - a logical thumb to use.
I have successfully recognized by the sensor the pointing finger and, as a backup the big thumb. The pointing has more rates of success.
Just try to randomly place all parts of your finger onto the sensor.
