Hi,
Can anyone try sliding your 'unregistered' finger across home button and see if it'll unlock?
Im asking because with my gs6 edge it'll unlock with any finger when i slide it.
Hm....defect?
Hmm, couldn't reproduce that, mine either wrong or got cancelled out, when I was asked to put my registered finger when opening the fingerprint menu.

No, even sliding with my registered finger I can't unlock it.
yeah it was weird Factory reset seemed to have fixed the issue.

Hey guys,
I just wanted to ask if you have the same problems with the lockscreen when you want to take a call? A few
minutes ago I received a phonecall and of course I had to unlock the phone first. Everytime it's a real adventure
to answer the telephone. I have to slide my finger two or three times over the screen to remove the lockscreen
and take the call. But who might think that would be enough... Often the slider hangs at the end after you slid your
finger over the screen. This would be ok, if it unlocks then. But it doesn't. So you wait two seconds and then you
slide your finger over the display again. And finally you can take the call
So my question is, do you have similar issues?
I don't want to make a call in an emergency with this lockscreen
ive found that if the slider hangs, just tap the top of the slide just above/past the slider and it will unlock

This happens all the time to me, plus that I have problem with the screen, the touch isn't always recognised at a specific area of the screen, ..not to mention the corners.... I have problem with the half bottom of the screen right in the middle of the unlock arrow..! It makes it hard for me to scroll the internet browser sometimes!
Different had any problems so far, but I have the same problem. I hope they give us the ability to use that custom lock screen security thing without this thing.

Try to tap the home button when sliding is does difficult. Works for me fine than. Only never tried when someone is calling. Dont know why didnt try yet xD

The lock slider on the x10 is a pita.
Thanks for your answers
Good to see that I am not the only one who has problems with this damned
thing. @assangflexx: I don't know if that is such a good idea. I know that
when you make a call and tab the homebutton, the screen switches to your
homescreen. That's exactly what it should do. But since the phone is working
to full capacity during a call it's a pain in the a** to get back to other screen,
where you can end the call...
im having the same problems. but i also have a problem with the thouch when im writing a sms. sometimes it wont press the "A" button and when i press "ALT" sometimes that dosent work and it just inserts a space instead.
Hi Guys
recently I went to CM7 (with fingerprint scanner) and switched back to Darkside again.
Now i find that my fingerprint scanner do not boot up right away when i switch my screen on, ( I have to wait for a second or 2 before i can swipe and have it read )
or else it won't register the swipe and it will just say please swipe finger sensor
Anyone else had similar problem before?
and yes I do full clean wipes inbetween roms
Thanks
Have you tried any other ROMS to make sure it isn't a hardware issue?

Just got a Verizon Gear S today, paired with my Note 4. I use the fingerprint lock screen on the Note, and noticed that when the Gear is paired with it, I have to go through two lock screens - a simple swipe screen that then leads to the fingerprint lock screen. I have to unlock the phone twice, which I really don't like. As soon as I unpair the two, the lock screen works as normal.
I've searched the Gear for some kind of setting that would cause this, but can't find one. Anyone else seen this or have any ideas?
Thanks.
EDIT: Actually, it's worse than I thought. The top swipe lockscreen totally bypasses the fingerprint lock, so I have no security.
Nevermind. I had set it up as a trusted device. My bad, I'm an idiot.
It took me a while also to figure out the trusted device thing

Hello,
Long time lurker here and was hoping for some advice/ suggestions.
I have a Canadian S9 Plus (on Bell Mobility) and noticed the following issues/ annoyances:
1) When the phone is woken up (e.g. pressing the virtual home button, plugged into charger, new text message received, etc.), the screen would turn on, continuously look for fingerprints ("Wipe the fingerprint sensor and try again" message would keep flashing) and would not shut off until I press the power button to turn off the screen
2) The fingerprint sensor generally works (e.g. unlocks the phone, swipes to drop down notification window), HOWEVER it does not work to unlock the phone if the phone has been sleeping for more than a few minutes (nothing happens no matter which direction I swipe/ press the fingerprint sensor). When I try to unlock the phone, I will have to press the power button to wake up the phone then swipe the fingerprint sensor. This may be a standard feature, but after pressing the power button to wake up the screen I will always get a message that says "The fingerprint sensor may be dirty. Clean it and try again.". Again the fingerprint sensor otherwise works so cleanliness of the sensor isn't really an issue here.
Has this happened to anyone's phone? I tried clearing cache/ resetting app preferences/ factory resetting the phone multiple times but with no luck. I also called Samsung but the conversation didn't go anywhere.
Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!
Have not had that issue with mine.
Do you have the finger sensor gesture on?

Tried both finger gesture on and off - no difference with the same issues persisting :crying:
this is the exact issue im facing when i got my s9+, i also thought that it was a factory defect. but luckily recently it didnt came up again and i did nothing. but still continuing monitoring the issue as it is really so bothersome.
Sounds like a defect to me. I'd exchange it.
I have not had any issues. Have you tried re-scanning your fingers? I noticed that this finger print scanner is different from the one on my LG V20. It feels different, and seems to operate different. It's also a little smaller which makes me have to position my fingers different.
I also read the instructions wrong.. I was supposed to swipe my finger during the setup. I was pressing it down. Either way mine works great.
Same issue here, did you manage to solve it?

Not at all - I ended up returning it. Any luck on your end?
Maybe try registering your finger/s with and without a case on. See what happens.
Same issue here. This is the one thing that really bugs me about this phone.
Hi. Just wondering if it has tap to wake or if placing your finger on the scanner will wake the device? Thanks
I am curious about this as well
from what I've seen on videos tapping on screen on the wrong spot would illuminate a purple fingerprint where you should put your finger, placing it again on top of that figure would unlock, an you have to actually press firmly not just slight touch as external FP sensors. If you press in the right spot at the first try it unlocks with only just that one single press. I'm hoping it is accurate enough so after we develop some muscle memory it unlocks at the first press 9/10 times.
I wished it had double tap anywhere to wake up/see lock screen/start face id though
Can confirm, tapping only shows where the fingerprint reader is. If you just straight put your finger on it the phone will unlock.
That is so good though..... No need to use power button. Plus if you use smart lock...i assume if your in your home or safe area.... You can avoid even using the fingerprint?

To be honest Mate 20 was silent about smart lock for now. It didn't auto suggest smart lock for any of BT devices I paired or the home Wi-Fi. Maybe I have to enable it manually. Weird the LG V20 I am coming from tried to shove that in my face on all ocassions.
... I did some digging, looks like smart lock for unlocking is not present (Smart Lock itself is on the phone).
