Hi all.
Last week my Moto g8 plus started to show message finger mooved too fast on locked screen randomly.
Then fingerprint sensor stopped working.
I have removed all fingers from it - no comments.
Now when I try to enable fingerprint sensor - it is not working. When cancelling the setup - phone goes into boot loop.
Did anyone have similar failure? Is it to be repaired by factory reset?
As far as I've searched similar problem appeared on Moto one vision but I haven't found any software solution.

I never had problem with fingerprint but you can try by factory reset ??* if it continues then install a new firmware
Did rescue with Moto rescue and smart assistant. Still the same story. Looks like it is hardware problem. I think I'm gonna request warranty service

My Pixel 3's proximity sensor reads 0cm after android 10 update(using Sensors Multitool), and double tap to wake and lift to wake not working.
I've search on the internet and I read the post of "FIXED - Android 10 - Sensors Bug". and also tried using proximity sensor reset or calibrate app, but all seem not working.
In my case, all other sensors works perfectly(Active Edge,Ambient Light Sensor, Auto-brightness, Accelerometer, Auto-rotation), but proximity sensor have reading of 0cm all the time. Which make the screen black when having a phone call. And double tap/lift to wake is not working(although my accelerometer is working according to sensors multitool).
I don't have screen protector, and this problem happened just after i first updated it to android 10. so i think it might be just a software problem.
I had the october update already, but it is not fixed.
And this is a phone that never oem unlocked or rooted, no trwp installed ever, so it might be a different problem rather than that FIXED one.
I live in a country that I could not send the phone back for repairing or replacement, and i have to use adb sideload to install every ota
(and most of time when I switch my camera to frontfacing camera, it will buzz and vibrate, but when i switch back to rare and back to front, it can be fixed. this is another small issue, but it happened before this update already, maybe i just need to mention it)
Any idea what might cause this and how can I fix them?
Thanks.

i read this already and my issue is not the same one as mentioned...
in that issue, all sensors are dead, but not in my case.
my device is never unlocked or rooted, no twrp installed, so maybe nothing has right to write the persist?
and if it is the same one, it should be fixed in october patch, but mine is not FIXED at all.

I factory reset my device yesterday and it fixed a lot of errors I was getting. Have you tried factory reset?
Be sure the phone has backed up to the google drive
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?
Hello, today I was using my phone with no problem. Suddenly it got stuck and I had to reboot it. Okay, then the fingerprint sensor stops working, it does not appear in the settings either, like the phone doesn't have a sensor at all. I don't understand. Looking for a solution a lot of people had the same problem and a hard reset didn't solve their problem.
Anyone knows a solution? I getting tired of Motorola.
Hello there,
So my Xperia 5 lately has fingerprint scanner issue that won't respond to my fingerprints (on fingerprint sensor test it says 'Sensor Not OK'). This issue can be solved by restarting the phone (it's simple tips but take a lot of time for me). Does anyone know how to fix/reboot the fingerprint service on system without restarting the phone? Thanks
Regards
I had same issue. But after couple weeks with this problem my fingerprint scanner broke permanently. I dont think there is a solution for that. Tried to ask in many places.

Does the Fingerprint Manager menu disappear from the setting? If not, your fingerprint scanner still has a chance to work again. Try to restart the device again after several weeks.

Thx for Your advice but it is not true. Sony had problem with fingerprint sensor in Xperia 5 MK1
Xperia 5 Fingerprint Manager missing from settings
Hi Recently I've encountered problems with my fingerprint manager. Since the update it has completely gone from my settings menu on my Xperia 5. I spoke to someone from the team and they suggested backing up my phone and software repairing my phone. This didn't help one bit. And also erased...

I tried restart phone after several weeks. I have fingerprint manager in phone but sensor it is not working.
First of all, several months ago I was messing with Engineering Mode and accidentally miscalibrated my fingerprint sensor. Had no persist.img backup, so I f***ed up badly. However, someone told me that he did exact same thing and OnePlus service calibrated the sensor with 3-sided tool available online. So I bought it and tried to calibrate the sensor (no oneplus service nearby), but on the end there is a 0x3F4 error dialog with last information telling "KB_CALIBRATION_TEST failed". Does anyone have any idea how to fix it? Calibrator indeed works, because using my finger to calibrate it there's a lot of red lines indicating failed calibration. Thanks.
EDIT: already tried MSMtool, "persist fix" in other thread and even remote device reflash by OnePlus assistant.
