New V10 update from Verizon, anyone try it yet?
http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/lg-v10-update/?_requestid=1051382
Haven't received it yet. But very disappointed that it does not contain the fingerprint fix.
Don't download any updates if you want to root the device in the future.
Grabbed a quick screen capture...sorry for not noticing your link.

Actually, this update fixed fingerprint problem. Fingerprint sensor now works flawlessly with Obliq Flex Pro case

Oh really ... that's awesome to know! I'll test it as soon as my phone gets it. I guess they never mentioned it in the release notes since they didn't want to acknowledge that the problem existed in the first place
I'm loading it now. I'll let everyone know Once I have a chance to fool around with it.

I have to say it is working marvelously now for me too. I had just given up on using it as it was more of a miss than hit on working.
Loaded it, fingerprint scanner with case worked before. Still works, but seems......better? When it was updating it looked like it was applying two updates/patches. Don't know if that is normal.
So far so good with the fingerprint fix with case. Was terrible before this update and now it seems like it was when I didn't have a case. Going to add a finger to see if that process is smoother.
Fingerprint scanner working like a charm now (including with case). Also, doesn't require the full finger to be placed as before (BIG WIN)
Makes me feel better now for not getting a Nexus 6p
Got it. Fingerprint reader now works with case on phone. Wi-Fi is better.
Can also confirm fingerprint sensor works really well. About time!
Ditto finger print reader working better than ever with all my cases. Surprised the did not mention it in notes.

Yep, this fixed the fingerprint issue with my Spigen Armor case. Works immediately every time.
Over on Android Central people are reporting louder volume with Google Play Music, bluetooth working were it didn't before, and wifi working better after the update. You can also now julienne fries with the V10......
fingerprint does seem to work with cases, really well now..
I did however find an issue with it.. if you have the phone charging and with a case, the fingerprint seems to not work just like before.
can someone else try it?

Just popped it on a charger, with case....no problem unlocking with fingerprint scanner.
Yes, my speaker volume seems to be louder after the update.
Can anyone with louder volume show their mixer paths? Or shoot me the file? Thanks in advance.
I'm in the US and i've had an international version of the z5c. I sold it to try the nexus 5x. I love the smoothness of the 5x but the size is too big. Soo.. I'm wanting to go back to the z5c which is finally being released as a US variant. The problem is that it won't come with a fingerprint scanner and it's actually more money!! But probably has a warranty which is good. . Now I know I can still buy the international still but do you think that the radios inside will work better for US carriers? Or is the only difference the fingerprint scanner? Honestly I wasn't impressed with Sony's implementation of the scanner anyway.. I thought it didn't work very well but if it's the exact same reception, I'd just buy another international model.

If you want root, international must be better. I think not many developers will get the one without fingerprint. The radio is just same.

Agreed. Sometimes it is flawless and lets me in instantly while sometimes I tap the thing five times and have to type in my password. Also, since it is still running Lollipop no apps can use the fingerprint reader unless the get the API from Sony. I hope that changes with Marshmallow.

Personally I really like it.
It had to redo the calibration a few times though. However, this isn't exactly the fault of the scanner. The problem was simply that how I placed my finger on the scanner during my first calibrations was somewhat different than how I place it on the scanner on everyday use. I. e. more to the front or to the back or to the side, it varies with the finger used. So if you often use your fingertip for pressing the button but only scanned the center of your finger the scanner during calibration it isn't exactly surprising that it often does not work.
It works quite well since I redid the calibration paying close attention how exactly I place finger on the button during everyday use.
I've only had problems with the scanner when my finger is not 90-100% dry. It fails to detect fingerprints in that case.

Just started using it today. Seems like it works okay so far. Anybody else use it? Have you been able to trick it? Just curious about how well it works and security on it.

I find it not working correctly more often than not, however, that is because I only really use it while my phone is lying down, so the angle of my face might be tripping it up. I can't imagine what it will be like on the iphone x where this is the only way to unlock the phone. Holding my phone up to my face is not how I want to unlock my phone every time.

Yeah. I still have the fingerprint set up and mostly use that. True, I have bought iPhones too but I really wasn't interested in the X at all.

I redid the facial recognition for face unlock and I am now finding it is more accurate than before. Win!
**Yes i was being stupid, found it
Am i being really stupid, but i cant find this feature at all.
Im sure i saw it on set up but cant find it again now.
Andy ideas chaps?
A
Face unlock option gone?
Sorry for bringing this old thread up again, but i wanted try the face unlock option recently and i can't find it anymore.
I've set it up when I got my phone but switched it off till now.
Does anybody have the same problem? It it possible LG removed the option with one of latest updates?
Cheers
Dan
Nevermind, i've found it. Apparently i've removed lg face recognition from trust agents...
I have lost functionality with my scanner since the OTA.. is there a program that I can run to let me know if this is a hardware or software issue? Dont really want to buy a new phone right now..
That's odd. mine works just fine. Running N950USQS6DSG6, July 1 patch.

Have you deleted the stored prints and re applied them?

Here's the update that I got.
More accurate and fast
Does anyone know this:
If you are with the factory applied screen protector, do you have to also remove it and re-register your fingerprints after updating? Or this is only for other screen protectors (silicone)?
It's not very clear from the update explanation.
Is it region related? because I didn't get it. (I'm on TKD and I'm not able to change it)
Update available and applied in Thailand.
Personally I just applied it without removing my screen protector.
Sensor seems a bit faster to unlock now.
Is it region related? because I didn't get it. (I'm on TKD and I'm not able to change it)
Anyone tried this on Whitestone glass? I'm afraid it could be worst after update.
Edit later: everything is OK after update, even better than before
Is it me or the fingerprint sensor became really sensitive. I mean before I need to put some pressure on the screen for the fingerprint sensor to recognize my finger. Now I just tap the fingerprint area without no pressure and boom, I'm in.

Be aware, this update removes Magisk

Perfect. Thank you. I was just about to make a post asking if it will... In my mind, I had a feeling that it would but I wasn't very sure. Now any ideas how we'd go about getting this update with root? Also, If not, that's fine. I'll live with it, but how do we go about stopping the notification? Its constantly popping up on my screen, everytime I decline it comes back again a few minutes later.
Edit: Figured it out... Rather simple actually, just disable the "TADownloader" system app using any disabler. It won't affect anything other than informing you of Secuity/Biometrics updates, which for us Rooted users is useless anyway.
Still would like to know how we can go about getting this update with root? Perhaps wait until the next security build update (November), and then it maybe will be included in that? If that's the case, then we can just patch that November build, and then, reflash using Odin.

I do apologize, but just found out yesterday after restarting it wasn't there anymore.
Maybe updating then patching Magisk before restart? Maybe installing back again from TWRP (20.0 zip format?). Same procedure of updating stock manually should work I think. The upgrade doesn't require to restart by the way, but after restart I didn't had Magisk
Just installed LineageOS 16 for S10 after that, so can't really give you an answer there.
Also would be good if someone else may confirm my claim, pretty sure it caused it, but someone else confirming could be nice.
Sorry for reviving a dead thred, but, I just changed screen protector on my S10, I used to have sipigen neoflex. But now I got spigen glas tr platinium.
I realized while I was wiping my phone screen unlocked. Now I can unlok my phone with any finger even if they are not registered. Clearly samsung hasnot fixed this issue.

I have the same glass and the newest firware CTG2 and it only recognizes the registered fingerprints.
I have a rooted SM-G9730.
Maybe something went wrong with the application of the glass.
