Haven't really used the finger print scanner as I thought it was more of an inconvenience and a novelty feature then any thing else BUT trying g to show off the feature to a buddy I tried to set it up and the scanner does nothing g at all when swyping finger across the scanner for the set up it does NOTHING like its not even there I did the upgrade to 1.5.7 or what ever it is got the update ota from Motorola if that helps.... has any one else had this or having this problem???
Try rebooting ure phone
This was happening to me on the older version of the motorola software. Since I updated to 1.5.x I have not had this issue. A simple reboot always fixed it for me in the past.

You probably need to wipe your cache's and stuff. Something is borked and that should clear it out.
I voided my warranty.
After I updated to Gingerbread I couldn't get the fingerprint scanner to work. A week later it just started working. Not sure what the problem was.

I have the same problem .... Anyone know anything?
I had the same problem, no matter now many times I rebooted, the fingerprint scanner doesn't register any swipe at all. I did a battery pull and the fingerprint scanner started scanning again. Weird, hope it works for other? If not factory reset would also be something to try.
I have a really strange problem with the touchscreen. When i touch it with one finger and hold my finger in the same location without moving it on the screen for 20-50sec, my touch is not recognized anymore at this location. Around this location my touch is "seen" by the screen, but not at the specific location. After a few seconds trying to touch the screen at the dead location, it "repairs" itself and everything works fine again.
That is a real problem when you want to play a game like reckless racing 2. There you need to hold the finger at the accelerate-button the whole time and after a few seconds it doesnt work anymore. Has someone experienced the same issue? The best way testing it is with a multitouch tester app .
I would be very thankful if someone could test it. Maybe i have a faulty device.
Im using a german razr with the latest android 2.3.6 firmware.
You can see a video of the problem here at vimeo.com/37909738
Something like this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467696
Thanks for the link. This really looks like the problem i have. This seems to be a feature? A feature which makes playing some games on the razr almost impossible .
Flashed neutrino 2.9 this morning and it is AWESOME! It was my first time ever flashing anything onto my phone, and everything worked out great! There are only 2 things I am wondering about...
First off, am I able to get swype set as my input method? I realize it's a pretty stripped down rom and swype has most likely been removed to cut down on size or increase efficiency etc. I've tried installing the swype beta, and managed to get the installer installed (yeah it's kind of an odd system, you download and install the installer to install swype) but for whatever reason when I type in the user/pass to get the actual swype installed, it just sits there forever and doesn't do anything. I've also just tried restoring swype with titanium backup from the backup I did on my stock rom, but it just starts a force-close loop until I set the input method back to the regular keyboard.
Secondly, and this is extremely minor, when I set up the fingerprint unlock there doesn't seem to be any backup unlock system for it. In the stock rom as we all know there is a pin that you can set to unlock as an alternative to swiping your finger on the reader. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but it would be a bit of a pain in the ass if I was to drop my phone and a rock smashed the fingerprint sensor, or my index fingers got chopped off in some freak accident haha.
All input greatly appreciated! Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, didn't seem quite appropriate to be posting over in the development section for something like this though.
*EDIT*
Swype problem solved. Looks like there was something wrong with the swype beta installer. After force closing it and opening it again it worked just fine, and swype is now installed and working (so far) perfectly!
So... Sort of a bump, but I ran into a new problem today.
For some reason when charging my phone, it only charges to 92%. I had it plugged in for about 12-13 hours, and it just seemed to stop charging. I pulled the battery, rebooted the phone, plugged it back in, etc. Didn't seem to do anything.
Anybody run into this one and know of a solution?
Tried this already?
Worked like a charm! Thanks.
was the fingerprint pin bypass every addressed?
i just started using 2.91gt+ and i won't enable the fingerprint lock with out a bypass pin...
i'm a marine engineer so my hands are constantly in and out of oil, fuel and fast orange so i've had days where on the stock rom it wouldn't even recognize i swiped my finger over it at all
Hi there,
All off the sudden, my fingerprint scanner stopped working. The problem is not that it doesn't recognise my finger, it's not working at all. Anyone having/had the same problem and maybe have a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Martin
I never got mine to work in the first place. It'll scan my finger but it won't ever recognise it as correct.
I use my fingerprint scanner without issues (in fact it's my new basic requirement if I need a new phone, wouldn't want to be without it). Have you tried to remove your fingerprints and add them again?
Yeah, I did try to remove them but it didn't help. Did a factory reset, but to no prevail. So I send it back for repairs
Hello, I recently rooted my phone and replace the screen at the same time. So I don't know which one caused this problem, but now my flashlight doesn't work, and my twist for the camera doesn't work. Also the three finger screenshot doesn't work. It's unfortunate because these three features are why I stick with Motorola as I absolutely love them. I've tried apps and they just don't work as good as Moto's stock gestures period does anyone know what would have caused it so I can try to figure out a workaround
I rooted my Moto G9 Power and it and I had the same problem!! Only the physical buttons work, I couldn't find img in Recovery. It turned on normally but does not leave the unlock screen because it does not recognize a finger on the screen and fingerprint! I managed to restore the device with the original program of the device, on the website, I downloaded the "Rescue and Smart Assistant" !! You only need to register your e-mail, and the 'imei' of the device! It downloads and installs the rom by itself!! Fantastic ! Hope this helps !
