Oreo and Fingerprint Management - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Fingerprint management under Nougat worked great, under Oreo I am having a difficult time enrolling fingerprints. Anyone else having this issue?

no problems here.
BTW: it can be helpful to take two prints per finger . It’s a little bit tricky, but fingerprint recognizing will be more fast after then.

All is good for me but a full reset of the phone was necessary.

My fingerprint manage takes not easy fingerprints like before.

Try cleaning the sensor.

Did that and I still have an issue. Tried using 3 different fingers too! Only able to get the pinky finger to register.

Was a bit tricky getting it to register the prints, just have to keep trying but once they are registered the scanner works really fast and is perfect

Under Nougat registering fingerprints was fast and easy, but with Oreo it is difficult - at least that has been my experience. You're right though after they are registered the system works well.

Try a hard reset. No one has this problem.

If you used b300 to fix some bugs that's why you have that option. Won't work. On b324 clean install there is no such option.

Where you have this option on B324 I can't find

As far as I understood it won't work on the HAM7 anyway, perhaps it's designed for Mate S hardware - but it's just my guess.
For me to accept a call or take a foto by fingerprint works, the gestures not.
You can find it under >Settings>Fingerprint-ID and it's not grayed out there.

I see the options too, but they aren't working. I upgraded to B324 from B313 (MT7-TL10), no reset.
Where can you see that option? I cant find it anywhere

I don't have that. Now I think that going LP was a bad idea. If I wait for OTA, will it be the same as the one posted on the site?

I've read that elsewhere as well. I think I may reset my phone this weekend - will report back if it does indeed disappear. Makes no difference though - it doesn't work either way.

I dont know why u guys asking for finger print sencor notification...its not support for mate 7
First in beta version they send us thats version for test which is from Mate S (I guess) or any other device from huawei which support fp sencor,
Second, i m sure u guys install this official version directly from lp beta version which completely give u error or some kind of buggs...
read instruction in that download pakage, or i can say u can install from 120,125,138 which is the official kitkat release on huawei forum...pls dont complain anything about official version untill u cant install fresh one...the is the most fast, suitable and strongest without any error version i ever seen in andriod...even other brand cant seem fast and beautiful when i compare my mate 7 with them...so read command in all thread, get idea then start install....one thing i want to make sure there is not such kind of fp sencor for notification, it was only in beta they send us for test which for our device, our mate 7 hardware doesn't support fp sencor....
Enhance your calm, citizen. We're discussing it, is all. I didn't expect it to be here, knowing that it is dependent on the hardware.
Still gonna reset this weekend. Holding thumbs for the Mate 7 being listed for upgrade to Marshmallow...
I m always calm dude...just say few words which will help others...specially whose saying to downgrade from 324 by mean that version not stable...i just did clear that i m runny with everything fine...
i'm 100% sure that it's not a hardware problem, and I can explain why:
First you have to turn on the option in developer settings which will show where you touch the screen, then you go into the stock gallery app (or camera), and then you touch the fp sensor and see what happens. You will see how the marker will move through the screen without touching it. It doesn't only detect different fingerprints but also where you touch it. If you touch it on the left it will move right. I you touch it on the right it will move left, touch on top move down, touch in the upper left corner it will go diagonal to the lower right corner etc..
now if you think logical it should detect a swipe down movement easily, as it only needs to realize that you touched the top, the middle and the bottom. There may be problems to make it not detect unwanted swipes due to it not beeing that precise I guess but it shouldn't be that hard to fix it..
if they only released the source code for it then some modders could easily script something for us..

Fingerprint Scanner Temperamental

I find the fingerprint scanner to be very hit & miss, especially if I've got slightly sweaty hands!! A lot more so than my previous S7 Edge.
Does it work ok for everyone else?
Do know about the sweaty hands part but my scanner is working flawlessly. Might want to try removing and then re-registering your prints.
Same here

What variant of the phone do you all have?
MIne works most of the time but yes I have the same issues. If your finger even thinks it will be sweaty or the sensor has any moisture on it at all it will fail. When they are both dry it works great! Maybe this is something that can be adjusted with software???
I'm on the G8141 UK firmware. It just updated today to the latest (7.120) firmware so will see if that makes any difference...

Yeah notice if you prints are dirty it wont read it properly. I Guess its a good thing. Phone reminds us to have clean hands when handling

swipe down on fingerprint sensor?

Would be so awesome if someone could make this mod. It's the biggest thing I miss from my past phones. No idea why they would take that option away.

It's not even possible because the fingerprint sensor is entirely different from the one on the 5t. The op6 sensor just can't support gestures this has been discussed here already.

Sorry I just got this phone and didn't see any threads related to it. That kinda sucks I'll miss it, especially with such a big screen.

Yep is numbe bummed too. But there are roms kernels and apps that can enable ther the sensor to be long pressed to show notifications and quick settings.

fingerprint gestures

Hi there. I´m new to the Mi Mix 3, overall it´s a great phone but I really miss the fingerprint gestures like i had on my Pixel 2 (swipe down to open the notifications). I tried several apps, but non of these semms to be working. I´m on the EU 8.12.27 beta ROM with root. Is there any app that is working with this phone or is there any setting that can solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

Finger print quickaction is the closest I can get but need to double tap sensor. Swipe or single touch won't work.

I already tried that. But it doesn´t feel very handy to me. When you accidently touch the sensor than the action is executed. And the swipe doesn´t work very well. A bit of hit and miss imo.

Fingerprint issues

Hello, does anyone have fingerprint issues? My XZ1 never missed a beat. This one hardly works. Wondering if it's software or hardware problem?
Thank you
same problem here. sometimes works well, sometimes not at all.
Hmm I wonder if the Xperia 1 users have the issue

Thanks for the link I think it's solved now. Still not as good as the XZ1 scanner but I found that my thumb was slightly angled under normal circumstances so I added more prints and so far so good

As far as I can tell you have two unlock states. You can't use the power button to wake and then use the fingerprint sensor to unlock you can only use the fingerprint sensor to wake and unlock.
If you use the power button to wake then you have to use the pin method to unlock. This is what I've found.
I've found it's usually if the sensor gets dirty, which seems to be quite a lot. a quick clean usually gets it working straight away

I put my finger along the side of the phone while making my scans, for me it works almost every time now.
Previously I had my finger on a line away from the side using my thumb nail to nail direction now I use from top to middle which gives a better result

It's funny because mine is very good (9210 model) and I came from OnePlus 7t pro where I hated the in screen finger print reader
Must have been firmware dependent as mine is almost perfect now since upgrade to android 10. Anyone else have problems?

Try cleaning settings cache. Also system settings storage app cache.

Clear your hand and the sensors place on the phone. I have no problems with it.
The latest android 11 update appears to turn fingerprint registration and usage into a better experience....
I've had problems with previous updates either lost functionality all together or sporadic usage.
Its nore more accurate than I ever remember.
Having lived with this for almost 2 years it looks like a combo of hardware and software. IE the software driver doesn't work fast enough to recognise the fingerprint and will occasionally miss a beat. I re-program after updating firmware updates and depending on how big the update is/ Security based and find I have to wipe fingerprints and PIN/Password too, for the fingerprint sensor to be re-discovered and then use the pre-setup program app which I have to use slowly 2 seconds between detections otherwise the app fails to detect the sensor and stops working again so I have to reboot the phone to re-detect and start programming the next fingerprint.
This handset has a bad fingerprint driver/app for the latest Android me thinks.
