Has anyone else had a problem with using the sensor after applying the Whitestone glass screen protector? Is there a way to install it to make this better?
You should reregister your fingerprints after installing any screen protector. + you can turn on touch sensivity. (under display settings)
I noticed after going from my Spigen screen protector (had a glass feel but is a soft film) to the Whitestone Dome Glass on my S22 Ultra, I definitely have to press down harder (pretty firmly and no real wiggling of the thumb seems to work best) and use more full on thumb to get it to register properly. It takes ever so slightly longer to register and unlock for me than compared to the Spigen protector, but I do like the Whitestone Dome Glass more overall.
Putting on the WSD had no impact at all on my FP sensor. It was a bit finicky before and exactly the same after. I had found before I put the WSD on that it is 100% perfect every time if I moisten my thumb. Same after the WSD. With a dry thumb, most times it gives me the message "Cover the entire sensor" or "Press harder".
Things I did to help avoid any further degradation after install. During installation, pressed on the sensor area for about 30 seconds after the first cure and just before 2nd cure. Re-register prints after the WSD install. Set touch sensitivity on. Registered my thumb twice. After the install the FPS was exactly the same as before the install so no impact I can see. It is just that this FPS does not like dry prints. Moisten and many people find it works perfectly. I have found that I don't actually have to wet or lick my thumb, just breathing on it once is enough.
Because I generally use face ID to unlock, the FP is not a big deal to me. When I use an app like banking or Google Pay that require FP unlock, I do the breath on the thumb first and it usually works immediately.
4 - Fix Fingerprint ExperienceGo to Settings, Biometrics and security, more biometrics settings:
- Turn off "Show unlock transition effect"
Go to Settings, Biometrics and security, fingerprints:
- Turn on "Fingerprint always on"
- Turn off "Show animation when unlocking"
- Set battery usage to "Unrestricted" for "com.samsung.android.biometrics.app.setting".
- Disable app optimizations for "com.samsung.android.biometrics.app.setting".
Do OtterBox cases and defender cases work well with this screen protector?
Want to know before I buy the device. Thanks

I'm using an Otterbox case with Gadgetshieldz screen guard and it fits perfectly because I got the case fit protector!

Next to redoing the scanning of the prints, I find that having to dry skin affects it often. See if handcream or just moisten the finger a very little helps.

Yes, as has been described before, I find just breathing on my thumb is enough to make it work perfectly every time.
A tip I learned a while ago was when I first cure using the uv light and remove it from the jig is to gently press down where the fingerprint scanner is before 2nd curing which in my experience certainly helps.
iam using ARMOR SUIT screen protector, work just fine

My first install was a complete dud as the fingerprint scanner didn't work at all, even after registering. I tried pressing down on the scanner on my 2nd install and while it worked better, it still only worked about 30% of the time after registering my prints again.
Unfortunately I'm sending my protectors back to Amazon for a refund as neither install method worked for me.
I guess the powers that be at Android are catching on to this. I just got an unsolicited system message with a few suggestions to make the fingerprint sensor work better. The last one on the list was to "try moisturizing" your fingertip. lol! Guess there is not a software fix for this coming anytime soon.
Hi guys, my film is slightly chipped on one side, it doesn't bother using it, do I still have to replace it with another one or do I leave it like this?
visually it doesn't bother me but it worries me about protection if I accidentally take a hit.

I personally, can not withstand chipped or cracked screen protectors, as soon as a crack or dent appears, I take the protector off, as it has already worked by absorbing the damage, but that is my opinion…

Just picked up myself a 32gb version off amazon for 464 total and will be recieving monday(stupid best buy didnt have it in stock(the closest store that had it was in texas!!(im in tucson)))
but my question is, should i get a case and\or screen protector
i picked and felt around the display one in the best buy near my dorm and loved it so i bought one but i will probably be taking it with me too classes and work and stuff so i may need a case and gaurd
what do you think?? what are you reccomendations,
if i was to get a case, i dont really want a tri-fold one, and i would want it to be soft on the inside and (fake) leather on the outside
in terms of screen protectors...it shjould probably be scratch filling because i will have the tablet for a few days with normal use before finally receiving it
but im open to suggestions, any ideas?
thanks,
I have a screen protector made by mr. Shield, its great. And i ordered a moko case, but it hasnt arrived yet.
I can recommend this tempered glass screen protector: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ode=as2&tag=fiabte-20&linkId=D2LUGFFLTS3RY4YJ
It feels like the original screen, is really scratch resistant (tested with metal knife and keys with high pressure) and is very clear. The application is easy and bubble free as long as you don't have a big dust corn under the protector, fine scratches in the screen will become invisible.

wow sounds helpful, like something i might need.
mind if i ask a few more questions?
1. is it flexible
2. is there a high chance of it breaking during shipping
3. is it difficult to put on
4. is it difficult to take off?(like how other, non-tempered ones peel away)
5. if i were to drop the tablet, would i shatter the screen protector?
6. how much did yours cost?(was\is it on sale?)
7. what are the downsides to using this screen protector?
BTW thanks for including the link, very very helpful
ive never had a tempered glass screen protector as you can tell lol

1) Yes, you can bend it a few degrees, I didn't want to bend it more.
2) The glass comes in a hard plastic case, so I would say no.
3) You have to ensure that your screen is clean (for best results turn on the shower hot until you have steam, turn it off and wait a few minutes, this will take the dust corns down. Clean the screen and apply the protector in the steamed bathroom), and I recommend to put some sticky film on the sides so you can hold the panel without touching it.
Once the protector is aligned perfectly, apply pressure and you will see that it applies itself. Don't fear bubbles, they will go away within minutes if you apply pressure and gently "massage" it.
4) I once removed a tempered glass protector from a nexus 5 (not mine though), you have to take it off on one corner which can be kind of difficult, but once you can lift it off, it won't leave any residue.
5) Probably, never had to try that.
6) Mine cost about 10€ (~12,50$), amazon showed it as sale, but most probably it always has this price.
7) With SOME styluses you may have an decreased sensibility, but my metal mash stylus works fine.
Also, it might break without falling under certain circumstances. But rarely.
I hope, I could help you!

Very helpful thank you
I'll imagine the slight bending is meant to address the slight bending of the tablet
The shower technique should be especially helpful, I've never heard that one before(good thing my dorm has extra hot showers)
By sticky film do you mean tape?
Other than a small chance of breaking, i think the benefits outweigh the costs. You've successfully convinced me
Is there like a warranty I can get on it? Because that feels like something I might need
You are welcome, I first read about tempered glass protectors on this forum, since then I won't go without one.

Get a case or a screen protector. Getting both is kinda redundant.
Get screen protector if you want to keep the look of your tablet. You might also consider getting a skin for the backside to prevent the back from getting scratched.
Get a case if you want both screen protection and some drop protection and you don't mind the slight bulkiness of the case.

Didn't think about it like that,
The most important thing is that I don't want the screen scratched so that's top priority
The case I can see as less important though thanks
I think I just ran into my first real problem with the phone. I got a glass screen protector on Amazon, and it absolutely refuses to recognize my fingerprint with the glass on it. The error just keeps telling me to press harder. I never had any issue before without one on.
Took the screen protector off, and now it's back to normal.
I have each thumb trained twice, so recognition shouldn't be a problem at all. I think it's just too thick and it isn't sensing enough pressure to register the fingerprint.
Anyone find a good screen protector that works with fingerprint? I may have to go with a plastic one that won't be as thick as glass.

This is disappointing. When I first looked into this, I found someone claiming to have tested the Oneplus 6T fingerprint sensor with 3 screen protectors on top of each other. I concluded it was not an issue. But now I am seeing plently or articles suggesting that it depends. E.g. "Vivo did mention that only screen protectors of a certain thickness will work with the sensor". I wonder if Nokia will offer or recommend a screen protector.
Also, I don't know if Nokia are using the same sensor as Oneplus, but this is interesting: "[when registering] make sure your environment is not too bright. If possible, you should register a fingerprint in a completely dark environment."
Edit, also spotted this: "We also recommend re-registering your fingerprint every time you add or remove a screen protector."
So as an update, I applied the second screen protector that came in the 2-pack. Removed all of my fingerprints that were stored, and tried to setup new prints.
Took me about 200 tries to get my right thumb registered (not exaggerating), but I couldn't get it to actually read when trying to activate it.
Couldn't get my left thumb to register at all. Just kept saying to press harder. I was pressing so hard I thought I'd break the screen if I pushed harder.
Tried in bright light, as well as a completely dark room. Didn't change the ability for it to register at all.
So overall for this phone, I'm going to say glass screen protectors won't reliably work with the fingerprint scanner. I've ordered a plastic screen protector. Going to try that out, as I'm pretty sure it will work.
I imagine the thickness of glass is the culprit here, due to how the fingerprint sensor works even without a screen protector applied. It seems more difficult to activate than other in-display readers (I have 3 others with in-display readers and they're all incredibly easy to use).
Fingerprint issues aside, I normally go for glass screen protectors because the plastic ones tend to cause more drag when using the phone.
I have generally seen two models. One which is clear and another which has a black border, both with cutouts for sensors, cameras and speakers.
I'm unable to add a link as I'm new to the forums but both examples can be seen on Amazon by searching 'GEEMEE 9h nokia 9 pureview'
Has anyone bought these or similar protectors?
I am interested to know if the black border one covers any part of the screen. I think it looks better on the pictures but in real life I'm not sure how it would look.
I got the Mr.Shield 9h glass and it works fine. The issue with the fingerprint is a software issue. The warning to press harder is not correct. I've verified that the reader will read with normal to light pressure. Hopefully they will release an update that fixes it within the next couple months.

I just got the screen protector with the black borders, and it doesn't cover any part of the screen. I think it looks good. But I was a bit sloppy when I applied it and one of the corners has an air bubble which I can't get rid of.
But since I applied it, the fingerprint scanner is causing me problems. It has problems recognizing my prints

I ended up going for a clear one tempered glass protector. I have a couple of tiny bubbles which was just me rushing as I was excited.
The finger print sensor works fine as long as I get my finger in the correct place but that is a challenge. My thumb is more difficult but still possible. It hasn't been a massive burden though because I have been using face and trusted bluetooth device to good effect.
I finally had enough. I removed the first one and reapplied using the new instructions and I was still having issues with the fingerprint sensor. I have to say that with it removed, it works so much better. I installed a film protector and it still works great. I'm done with Whitestone as it was a total waste of money. I emailed them and they told me that I would have to uninstall it without breaking the screen protector in order to get a refund. Good luck with that.
I have no issues with mine. Sure, the fingerprint sensor doesn't work as well but it's damn-near close.
Quick question for you though:
Do you remember where the 4 nipples (dots) were located on your glass?
The reason I'm asking is because I originally got the single pack and the glass had 4 little dots (2 on the top and 2 on the bottom) that I assume were used as spacers.
My second box was a two pack (because I effed up my first attempt) and the dots were now located on the left and right sides. I think they changed how the design of the protector and how it lifts itself up for the adhesive to improve fingerprint recognition. The 1st box had the "4 full"printed on the front while the 2nd box only said "3 full" (didn't have the "full-filling" listed).
Maybe you have what I would consider 1st Gen and I'm using 2nd Gen?
I did have issues shortly after install, but about every 6 hours I added new fingerprints and removed the old, each time was improving more and more. I did this for a day or so and now that I flashed the ASD3 firmware it's about as good as the stock Samsung film that was installed.
My theory is that the glue is still curing. As it cures, your fingerprints appear different, making the registered fingerprints look different than what it sees after more cure time.
I wouldn't give up just yet, in my opinion.

I'm using a generic brand UV cured protector ($10 off eBay) and it works great after re-registering my fingerprint a week after application.
I think you're absolutely right about the glue continuing to cure after the initial cure process using the lamp..

I probably had the 1st generation because I received them before I even got the phones. I have already given up as I am done dealing with this company. I have used them before and over time, stuff always seems to get up around the edges. I already went through both protectors so I'm done at this point. The fingerprint sensor works so much better without it anyhow. Now I barely have to press for it to work where as before I had to push down pretty hard.
I'm getting ready to remove mine as well. It's incredibly soft. I literally took a chunk out of it with my fingernail trying to scrape off what I thought was a piece of dirt on it.

Anything that cures with a UV lamp will work.. they all come out of the same factory anyway.
Just need a little patience and ensure its cured before registering your fingerprint.

Yeah, from maybe 2 feet off the couch arm onto a plastic vinyl flooring. Which if this protector can't survive that than it's definitely not work it. But now there's a crack going straight across it that just appeared today. I'm hoping it's a fluke with this particular protector and that these just aren't that flimsy.

Don't worry about it as I've tried both versions (side and bottom dot) with the latest instructions and cured with a much more expensive uv lamp, and neither worked.
I too gave up on the Whitestone, that was with ASBA. Maybe the new firmware could make it work, but I have no idea as I already returned both of mine.
I got a 2-pack, would not work no matter what I do, followed the instructions and videos to the dot. Got a replacement and still doesn't work, I give up on Whitestone Dome, got full refund. Clearly they are not trying to address the issue so I'm not going to support them until they do something about their false advertising.
I've also bought the whitestone screen protector.. Cost me $52 Sing dollars.. The shop install it for me and it look perfect.. I've went back home after a few hours and tried registering my fingerprints.. It was then I discovered that I could not even register my prints.. I tried very hard for many times and it was a terrible feeling I have for such a expensive screen protector.. With little luck I was to frustrated and remove it.. In the removal process it was another heartbreaking experience where the glass protector shatter into smaller pieces and I literally had to use a small pocket knife to scrap off the broken pieces...
Before the whitestone protector I had a similar protection which I broke it. I can tell you some conclusions: do not hurry with registering fingerprints. It seems the glue needs some days (maybe a week) to reach the final and stable composition. For me it takes two weeks to register fingerprints properly because I noticed the behaviour changes slightly from day to day. Also I mention here the registering the same finger in two different positions.
The first glass become usable after about two weeks. The unlock rate was about 4 of 5 and also it needs a little more pressure which also became smaller in time. For me it was ok. When I reached this point the phone falls down and I broke it. I wanted to order another but the store was out of stock so I bought whitestone dome glass. I replaced the glass and the new one did not need another adjusments, also it seems to be little more sensitive that the first one. The only thing that starts to bother me is the dust and dirt that gathers in the front camera hole.

Going to let you know, this is false. The glue is an AWFUL quality LOCA, a few redditors did some research on it (who use real LOCA daily). I pulled the Whitestone off my S9+ after a year, and it was still slightly tacky. That's not "needing to reach stability", that's just **** quality.
My Note 9 had the same issue, but I only had it on for a few months. Whitestone is just poor quality.
A 1 week later i bought a tempered glass fingerprint work from ebay and is not good.it has already slipped off the edges and the imprint goes very rarely and hard.do you use some protective foil or glass that goes the imprint and can you recommend it to me?
Hi,
For me no protection is far better than all other solution (also dom glass)
The general expérience is far better (touch feeling, colour, reflectance,...)
But you need to be more careful with your phone (avoid keys or sands contact and clean it every day with soft Cloth ). For me after 1 month like this I have no scratch or other things.

Yes. I believe you. but I am not very careful I drop them a lot on foot. i think cornimg gorilla glass 6 is very ok and does not break so fast or scratch but yet ..
the biggest problem is that i don't find what global firmware to put because it is taken from amercia the snapdragon version and i don't have the language of my region because it is taken from verizon. could you help me?
Sorry but no.
Buy armfim screen protector
Better than white dome and finger print actually working.
Hi,
The better I've tested since now is LK screen protector.
No change in colour and touch feeling and also seem to be more protective than OEM one (auto repair scratch).
I try this for 2 days now with an OEM leather case and so far so good the feeling is pretty good in hand (better than hell classical TPU case....) and descent protection .

I m looking and i don t found...
I am using Invisible Shield Ultra Clear and it works great.
I replaced my broken Whitestone with the Mocolo UV nanoptics. It costs about the 1/4 of the Whitestone and it works and feels exactly the same. That means that the fingerprint reader works at about its 85-90% of its original cabability.
Any new cheap glass protectors on the market? I'm looking for something full adhesive edge to edge. FPS compatibility is not too critical but if it works without applying UV glue that would be great.
I ended up avoiding fingerprint unlock because it never works on the first try with my screen protector. That's the only thing I don't like about this device
Been using the apiker film for a week or so, 4 for $10 or whatever. Had an alignement jig, i wasn't super careful about cleaning, should've installed in the bathroom. Works really well, no problem with finger print. There's two spots on each side where it has popped up a little from taking my case on and off a feew times.
Just ordered the johncase tempered from Amazon, has the little uv light, pack of two for $15. See what happens.
My fps works correctly at least 9 times out of 10. I just registered my most frequently used finger, the right thumb, two times. One when it was completely dry and one more time when it was wet. Now I rarely loose a scanning.
Greetings all. I received my S22 Ultra yesterday and of course, began the setup process. I had already put the Whitestone protector before I started. The problem began when trying to setup the biometrics. The fingerprint sensor wouldn't register my prints no matter what I did. So I removed the first glass and registered my prints without the glass and it went smoothly. So I put the second protector on and did an extra long curing of the adhesive, more than 6 minutes. I was able to get one print registered, barely. Has anyone else had the same issue, and if you did, were you able to correct it? Please let me know. Thank you all in advance for the responses.
I was looking at the reviews on it a couple days ago and it looks like a lot of people have had this issue. I bought a glass protector from a different brand and it works but it's not 100% perfect :-(
I bought this, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09P84TTH9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 cheaper and sort of the same method. No issue with the fingerprint reader. Was very easy to apply as well my first with this type of protector
I just installed mine and I had to remove all of my fingerprints and re-did the process as usual and my fingerprint reader works like if there is no screen protector on it with the whitestone protector
Ratings on Amazon.ca: 5 stars - 36%, 1 star - 50%
The Mowei 3 pack seems to be a good alternative.
Still thinking which is the best protector for the S22 Ultra. I'm thinking of getting Whitestone but I am a bit worried about the liquid adhesive. When removing it, any residue?
I made a post over on reddit going in depth about one that really impressed me.

I've used Whitestone for many years. Never a problem with the glue. Can be a bit of a trick installing and need to make sure the case isn't touching. They remove just fine. I was going to use another one but read of many problems people were having with them and decided to go with another LOCA type. I went with https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pldnSite=1 we'll see how it goes.

Yes, I tried that and I still have hesitation in registering and unlocking my device. I may just completely restore the phone and start over.

I've used White stone for many years and they work pretty good and warranty claim are easy but the cost for them just keeps going up and up. I found my self going back to tpu screen protector (https://amzn.to/3LZnsJO) as they are so easy to install. Better to get a case with a good lip for fall protection and tpu screen protector for scratch prevention. Still you can't go wrong with Whitestone.

I installed mine yesterday, fingerprints works fine, what I did was after the first cure I put my finger on the fingerprint reader and press for around 30 seconds and then used the uv lamp for 2 minutes staring from the bottom then center and top.
If you don't mine, look in youtube for s22 ultra whitestone dome glass. And watch Josh quiñonez video.

I didn't have any residue that couldn't be removed with more than just an alcohol wipe, they usually come off really cleanly as long as it stays intact.

Wet applications are very forgiving, but this dry with the template to guide make it near impossible to screw up. So fast to apply.

This is what I went with, and it's perfect.

I looked at the video and wish I had seen it before I used both my glass protectors. i will probably order another kit and use this method.

It's the user bro, I installed mine with ease and my finger print works without any problems. I've used this product for many years so definitely follow the instructions to the "t"
mine s22ultra fingerprint scanner is bad too, need to scan 2-3 times
