Can we change the screen sensitivity for the LCD. Specially for the ballistic case ? It comes with a plastic film protector for the screen but with it on it's a pain to touch the screen properly thru the film. Mostly to the top right. Has anyone else had this case or had this problem with a similar case ? Or know if its possible to set the sensitivity a little higher ?http://m.ebay.com/itm/261552613510?nav=SEARCH
I use the 0.2mm iCarez glass screen protector and since replacing the Verizon shipping plastic with that the sensitivity has increased dramatically. Unrooted, I do not know of a way to change it.
I've searched all the settings and haven't found a setting for the sensitivity so I would suggest like you said find one that it will work with. So a message to all users the screen cover from ballistic does not work well. Case is awesome though.
Anyone else notice this? Especially with a screen protector on I have noticed "dead" spots on the touch screen randomly show up and cause me problems.
When I first got my phone I had this issue. I had Verizon install their glass screen protector which I really liked, but I had random dead spots. I went to return it and of course they wouldn't take it back. I got a bit heated. I got the regular screen protector and have not had the issue since.
It was AWFUL with the all glass one for me, but is still noticeable even with a "flex" glass one that is just about the same thickness as a standard protector.
I am very curious if all G3s suffer from this.
my buddy with spigen glass doesn't seem to have the same touch issues I have with tech armor glass. once i get frustrated enough i'll get the spigen
I have the glass protector and sometimes I just want to throw the phone against the wall, especially when playing a game like GTA
I have had the zagg glass protector since i got the phone release day an have had the same problems but not enough to make me take it off i found out that when it happens i just turn the screen off and on then it fixes itself
I play Ingress on my G3, and with the 0.2mm iCarez tempered glass protector on it I get random areas where there is no touch sensitivity at all. Multiple presses, hard presses...nothing. Sometimes when I breath on my finger and try again it works for a while. Other areas work. Weird.
Since the iCarez has cracked in multiple places now and I am expecting a replacement, I could remove the shards and try it, but the One Plus seems much nicer overall, for screen touches. No protection on it though.
Happens to me to. I have the glass screen protector from the Verizon store. Sometimes I just wipe my fingers clean make sure they don't feel oily and sometimes that gets things going again. But yea its annoying
The thicker tempered glass screen protectors will result in this behavior in my experience. The icarez .2mm one is fine and has no touch issues that I can reproduce. The default verizon one they sell in the store near me is horrible.

.12mm thick. The protector is not the problem that I can figure. I wonder if this design flaw is still being reproduced by LG or if they fixed it at some point. It is getting very old, very fast.
I had the Verizon tempered glass screen protector for about a week, and noticed areas of the screen that were nearly dead, especially along the edges. I removed the screen protector, and haven't had an issue since.

I have this one and still get the occasional area that I can't touch. Primarily seems to affect the top right corner area.
I have used this screen protector now on three phones. Never an issue with any of them and I am a heavy user.

i also had issues that made me want to throw the phone at times.
started with the vzw tg (i didnt realize thats what they were selling me when i bought it), waste of $25 or whatever.
put it in the OB case, and it was all but unusable.
threw the TG in the trash and went with just the OB plastic. still got frequent dead spots. ordered a normal protector from extreme guard on ebay, where i normally get my protectors. took out the OB plastic, put the XG protector on the phone, put it back in the OB case, never had another issue.
Icarez matte screen protectors on Amazon are beautiful easy to install, scratch resistant and don't bring about sensitivity issues associated with tempered
Hi there, my daughter's 2 weeks old Mi A3 with 3 fingerprints saved has started to be very inaccurate in detecting and unlocking the phone.
When the phone was just out of the box, the fp unlocking was 100% accurate.
Subsequently she had a tempered glass screen protector put on but after putting it on the fp was still accurate only started to give problem since last night.
Has anyone encounter this issue before?
I'm thinking it could be the screen protector but my daughter prefer having the screen protector and using face unlock instead of doing away with the screen protector.
Thanks
I have similar experience with tempered glass protector. I believe it's caused by additional refractive and reflective layer over the display. Under certain light conditions I almost couldn't unlock the phone with FP. Re-registering finerprints helped to some extent, but eventually I've just switched to soft TPU protector (called hydrogel these days). Not the same level of protection, but it's almost invisible and doesn't interfere with FP sensor.
I think it's software fail, the unlock is inaccurate, but if I use a third part app (like my bank app), the unlock Is fast and accurate.
I installed a tempered glass protector thingy last night. I deleted all my fingerprints, and rescanned them. Nothing. Didn't work.
The culprit? Ambient light (you know the one that turns your screen warmer for night time, that one).
I tried again this morning , scanned two fingers and it works like a charm .
Ah, yes. I had to disable Night Light. When it's on scanner is random
Since I removed glass protector, FP works fine also with Night light. With the extra glass layer it was more hit or miss. It was a cheapo protector with exposed edges, maybe with more expensive edge-to-edge ones it won't make such a difference.
Thanks for all the updates.
I have dialled down the intensity to slightly more than 1/2 of the scale and fp still working!!
I do prefer the nightlight function to reduce the level of blue light.
Note: I have edited the subject line to reflect the latest data I have. See post #3 below. It appears that the Tocol screen protector, which many reviews said does not interfere with the fingerprint reader, is the actual culprit
===============================
Downloaded the December update, installed smoothly and I see ZERO improvement in the fingerprint reader success rate. Same symptoms as pre update - the left finger work reasonably well, but the right finger fails massively. Most of the time I just run out of tries and have to enter the PIN to unlock. I have tried defining multiple times, focussing on different areas of the finger, trying to trigger with a full overlap or edge touch, etc. Nothing works consistently. For example, I can get the fingerprint reader to trigger and unlock with the finger placed down a certain way, then I lock the phone and try to place the finger as much as possible in the same location and reader will fail repeatedly.
What gives? This is with the Tocol screen protectors that supposedly do not interfere with fingerprint operation. I am coming to the Pixel 6 from the OP7T where the optical reader works very very well, so there is nothing wrong with my right fingerprint per se. Any suggestions? Have tried this with both low and high touch sensitivity, which should have nothing to do with the optical sensor.
Very disappointed with this phone so far. There are so many people here who report no issues, so I am wondering if there is a hardware sample variation?

That's weird. Mine works great after the mid November update. Did you remove and added the fingerprints again?
Yes, multiple times. I finally decided to pull off the Tocol screen protector and things started working . So much for hundreds of reviews on Amazon stating that it is one of the few that does not interfere with the fingerprint reader.
Anyone has suggestions about screen protectors that do not interfere with the Pixel 6 fingerprint reader? I am very rough on my phones and without a screen protector the screen will be all dinged up by keys or other things in my pockets within weeks.

Im using the URSOQ one from Amazon. Works great so far
Here is a list of "approved" screen protectors
Google lists Pixel 7 and 6 screen protectors certified to work with fingerprint sensor
Google has a list of certified brands that make screen protectors for Pixel 6, 6 Pro, 6a, 7, and 7 Pro's under-display fingerprint sensor...
9to5google.com
The Otterbox one can be ordered from Best Buy with free shipping and 5 day delivery.
I have a Mr. Shield tempered glass glass protector and the fingerprint sensor works reasonbly well. Making sure your skin is not dry is very helpful.
im using a Spigen screen protector. I did turn on the extra sensitivity setting but ended up turning it off as it was too sensitive.
My FPR works BUT its no better than before being honest...

Do screen protectors actually work as advertised? I used to always have one on and more often than not they cracked at the slightest drop or event. Then I finally said I'm not spending another dime on them since my phone was about ready for an upgrade anyway within 6 months. Sure enough I dropped it a couple of times without a scratch. I never got another one and it's been at least 3 years. Now with FPR an issue perhaps it's not worth it? Just my opinion no need to flame. Are there any studies about the usefulness of them?
I am more concerned about scratches to the screen as hopefully my case protects the screen when dropped. Having said that I have only had a screen protector crack once. I had dropped the phone 4' on concrete. Protector cracked, screen fine.
Back in the day I used foils to protect against scratches.
Nowerdays we use glass protectors on all our phones.
And as my daughter and wife had several impact cracks, I came to the conclusion or illusion, protectors seem to have saved a couple of displays. Sometimes the cracks in the protectors looked like spiderwebs. I am pretty shure thes incidents would have definitely killed display glass.
Totally comes down to personal choice. Some people drop there phones a lot. Some don't.
For me, I'm historically a non dropper but i occasionally put my phone in my pocket and forget there is a key or something else already in there. Thats been the time where I've scratched my screen.

@phupton Yeah I get it and I was in that camp for a long time. But I wonder if the screen would have cracked or that the protector is so fragile it breaks way sooner than the screen would. That's why I'd love to see some studies. As for scratches that's another story of which I'm not sure. I never place my phone in a pocket with anything in it, be it my jeans, sweats, jacket or laptop bag. It's even rare I have a tissue in one of those pockets. So scratches are a non issue for me. (fingers crossed so I don't jinx it) lol

I'd consider me as a non dropper as well.
And then there was this one day when I forgot about my phone in a suit jacket pocket, put my jacket over a stair railing and my brand new Pixel made its way 2 floors down with a couple of smashing concrete and metal hits in between.
It not only survived, it was flawless. I don't know if the protective glass played a role. Still gave me peace of mind.
It's a similar argument to if you should use a 'clear' filter on a DSLR lens to help protect the lens from scratches
+ When you clean it, you are only risking scratches on the filter, which is relatively cheap to replace
+ It 'feels' you are protecting the lens
+ It also keeps fingermarks and liquids away from the lens
+ It's actually probably easier to clean, being flat
- The filter can make optical reflections and other artifacts worse
- The coatings on the front lens element (the one that's exposed) tend to be very tough anyway
- If the filter gets hit hard enough to break it, shards of glass from it may hit and damage the lens anyway
So just like with screen protectors - pros and cons and personal preferences. No absolute good or bad....
I'm a Nikon and non filter kind of guy.
Looks we are making good progress OT-ing.

Had not tried this specifically but had tried putting a bit of saliva on my fingertips and then wiping them off. Will keep that in mind when the new screen protector arrives. Without a protector the FPR is working great, but knowing myself I am going to scratch the screen with keys or something else within a week of running "naked".
With respect to the protector discussion - I agree that protectors have close to zero benefit when it comes to drops. But I am using them because I am not very careful with my stuff and tend to scratch screens and lenses with keys, letting them slosh around in a pocket on the dashboard of the Jeep, etc. I am running a Spigen Liquid Air case which I have used for many years with many different phones and the design seems to be good enough to protect against drops.
I think you need new fingers.
I use this screen protector fingerprint works great for me. Also it feels a lot like glass in use. Easy installation as well.
Amazon.com
Whats funny is I bought a similar one from rhinoshield that was more expensive and this one works way better. Fingerprint performance was bad with the rhinoshield one. This one works perfect every time.
I'm using whatever tempered glass protector came with my case, my single fingerprint has worked just fine since the November update.

I have a huge problems with ****y S23 ultra. I had tempered glass screen protector... I had huge problems to add fingerprints.... after a day noone worked... I have to set new recordings after every day....
I gave up and bought plastic screen protector.. everything working great.... after a day again no fingerprint can be read..... I hate this phone.... is there any other solution? On S20 there was an option to remove battery optimization on com.biometrics app....
Thank you
I had same problems with a glass protector - i had to press very hard to recognize my finger.
Now with matte folio i dont have a problem. Have you resetted your fingerprints after instaling the new protector?
Deceiving thread title. Even the cheapest screen protector works very well with Samsung's in-glass finger print sensor.
Please be so kind and change your screen protector with 10 dollar one, you'll be fine.
Don't create thread to everything.
Not all tempered glass is capable of FPS. Option is to use a Hydrogel screen protector or just buy the tempered glass with hole on the FPS portion which looks like sh*t.
There is also what they call a Dome Glass that can make FPS work, but the attachment uses some sort of a liquid glue. Just make sure to avail the one that doesn't stick like a super glue

Man, i have tried 4 different brands tempered glass, 2 of them was with thinner glass on the fingerpring area - all didnt work good or didnt worked at all. I had many phones before that, never had this problem.
I have used a cheap matte plastic screen protector on the S21U, S22U and now on the S23U with no problems whatsoever with enhanced touch sensitivity turned on.
I have the same problem. Fingerprint reader is s* on S23U. I've tried many different screen protectors and it still sucks. My previous phone was Huawei P30 Pro and the fingerprint scanner was amazing even with a $1 protector on it.
The moment they tried to install that ass looking protector with the hole in the shop I was thinking what's going on here and what's wrong with a fingerprint reader.
This sux. So I have to try different sceen protector.... that could be expensive
Which one do you suggest, that wors 100%?
Is there any option to have them install screen protector?
i use samsung screen protector and i do not have any issue with biometrics... I don't even use enhanced sensitivity. Om my local forum everyone that use Whitestone Dome Glass have no issue with biometrics too, they put it exactly like in instruction using this metal weight during mounting. Some ppl that experiment with other brands have issue here and there.
I have use the Spigen Neo_flex and works great only issue is that like to smudge with fingerprints easy, and the I have the offical one on the S22 ultra and work great too, I have official one coming for my S23 ultra, for me the FPS works no better or worse than my S22 ultra.
Have you tried recording multiple copies of your fingerprints, in my experience, this vastly improves recognition?
1st, no screen protector the finger print reader is not the best... Cool tech tho, but not perfect yet.
I went to a cellphone shop, and the guy told me not only glassprotector will limit the reliability, but this reliability will change overtime.
- He proposed to me a film of gel protector, which I did use for few weeks, and indeed , it was like no protector at all. +/- 90% success rate.
- Then tried Axessorize Amor gLass, the matte spot bother me. around 50% success rate on multiple register same figer trick.
- Then tried those UV glass Ni-shen. Depite the fact those glass dont stick and do bubble, I have around 70-75% success rate with again same finger registered many time.

Maybe you have defect one, I never had issue with the FPS on my 22ultra or the 23 Ultra, I know people complain of it, but if your thumb is really dry that effects it, and its ultrasonic, not optical like lot of the other phones that have the in-display finger print reader, I like the samsung better since when I`m on the lake with my seadoo and in the water and my hands are pretty wet it still works, the optical ones won`t work unless you dry your thumb.

Doubt, I had 2x S23, was the same.
My hand are all over the place. Calm and no coffee = dry.
Sport or coffee or both = sweaty.
Most reviewers state the same. And this is partially because 4-5 years ago, we were use to ceramic one.
Those are way faster, and 99% success rate.
100% sure this is because people comparing 2 different technologies, and expect the same result. Under screen reading, is somewhat recent, and has a hader challenge to read between pixels a small print that never get positioned the same way each time

I use a Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector myself (been using them ever since they came out).
It works fine with fingerprints.
With all screen protectors one needs to increase touch sensitivity in Settings-->Display-->Touch sensitivity.
Yes, Dome Glass uses a UV-activated liquid glue. It comes with a jig to assist in placing the protector on the screen and a UV lamp to cure the glue. For me, the installation jig makes the procedure smooth and flawless every time - no bubbles and perfect placement of the protector. I would not use any other protector than the Dome Glass one.
I used to use the AmFilm but there glue is crap this year. The best for me now is the IMBZBK tempered glass UV glue installation. My fingerprint sensor with glass on works as good as with screen protector off. 95 percent success rate with glass on. Follow the instructions and you should have a perfect installation with this glass.

I have the exact same bad experience with FPS with tempered glass screen protector on, sometimes it works perfectly but other times it doesn't work at all, it's so frustrating...
I had Huawei P30 Pro and the FPS worked flawless everytime with any screen protector I've used.
Or y'all could save yourself some trouble and stop using sh***y screen protectors in the first place and you wouldn't have these problems.

I tried that one and finished in the garbage, bad quality product, is a screen protector that covers the front cam degrading the picture quality. Screen protectors should not cover the cam. Even from that brand I tried the camera lens protectors and after a while I saw slight scratches on it, now I have another brand that works fine.
The only way to not having issues with the FP is having a TPU screen protector and that's it, I have one and I have a rate of 80%-90% aprox and I will live with it.
Another very important point is this FP reader doesnt work at best with very dry skin, put your finger in your mouth, blow your humid breath and it will work better. I do this sometimes with other FP readers like when I enter in my house.
That is not true. If you install the glass correctly you won't have any issues with camera or fingerprint sensor. My accuracy is in the high 90s with the glass on. In all honesty don't feel any difference between glass and no glass.
