Hi guys!
I really love this phone, but I have a really, really, really annoying bug. I have only 2 days with this phone (MM updated since the first day). When I try to unlock with my finger it works most of the time, but in some occasions it ask me for the knock code or the pin directly, giving me no chance to use my fingerprint to unlock the phone. This is really annoying because I want to use the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone and it does not let me. Does anyone have the same problem with the V10? Any ideas for a possible solution? Thanks a lot!

We have this problem too and assume you are using a third party launcher (Nova, Google, etc). Switch back to LG stock launcher and it fixes the problem. Think it has something to do with the lockscreen permission changes from Lollipop to Marshmallow.

I'm actually using Nova. I will switch back to LG Stock Launcher (uggly, by the way), and I'll tell you if it worked or not for me. I'm thinking on the same about te permissions in MM. There is no way to upgrade permissions from the settings or something like that to keep using a third party launcher?
Thanks a lot for the help!

Did you ever find a resolution to this. It's pretty annoying but i'm not willing to give up Nova

I ran with LG's launcher for the past couple of weeks and since the recent beta updates to Nova shows no sign of a solution, I've reverted back to Nova and just switched to pattern unlock for the time being.
You know, even using nova, you can double tap the notification bar to turn off, and still use the fingerprint to unlock.

^ Incase anyone of you missed it, the finger print scanner works if you double tap the notification on Nova Launcher to lock the screen.
hi guys... i too have issue with finger print... my problem on MM is that i cannot even set up a finger print.. its like hard ware issue.. but i do hope its a software issue...
i did took out the case..even the back cover.. but still nothing. wont detect finger when i set up

Try to factory reset, or change the unlock method to a different one, and then go back to fingerprint.
already did.factory reset by lg bridge..hmmmm
. i do hope its only a s/w issue. huhuhu
may due to mainboard problem
i also met this problem.
after restart, restore or refresh kdz, nothing changed...
my model is LG V10 H961N
i have this issue also. dont know what to do

Speak for yourself. :laugh:
I'm on MM on my H960A AND I'm using Nova Launcher since the first day. Never had this issue. I only had a problem once after unlocking the bootloader. You have to enable "OEM unlock" in the developer settings prior to unlocking the bootloader and I did not disable that option again afterwards. The fingerprint sensor did not work at all with this setting enabled. You can register new fingerprints but unlock does not work.
Since I disabled this option I have no issues with Nova and fingerprint. Should you have unlocked your bootloader as well make sure you disable "OEM unlock" again.
I'm on MM and using Nova prime but I don't have any problems with the Fingerscanner!

Hi!
I have this phone for 4 days and i had the same problem like you,
I use to lock my screen with third party applications like:
Greenify or Screen Off and Lock
And for this i have the same problem like you,
If you had the third party application for locking your phone, you can uninstall them or lock your screen by double top or power button.
Good Lock!

Try this...
I've had this problem also. It seems to have started after a security update from T-Mobile.
Try this fix and let me know how it works for you:
Follow these steps:
1)Goto settings -> fingerprint & security -> fingerprints -> then delete all fingerprints
2)Then goto apps -> switch to show system apps(im using 6.0) -> find com.lge.fingerprints then remove data and cache memory.
3)Goto storage & usb -> clear cached data
4) Then restart your V10
5) After that, add fingerprints in fingerprint lock then it detects your finger.
If it doesn’t detect your finger, repeat the steps.

Glad I could help.
You may have to repeat this process as sometimes, I've heard, the problem reoccurs.
Hello all,
First of all, let me say that I have not used the previous ROM versions, just the latest one (053116)
I'm currently using the Aerom V3
At first, the finger print scanner seems to work perfectly (once you find the knack on how to properly add your fingerprint).
Then I start fiddling with the OS (Root, LSpeed, and Rom Toolbox) to change the processor settings (I prefer full clock + Userspace, less UI jitter) the scanner gets worse and worse with every day.
After a few days, it barely recognises the fingers (unless you deliberately place it on the scanner, while looking at it) and even worse - the phone thinks I'm scanning the finger when I'm not even touching it and locks me out. Other times it fails to register my finger at all (no vibrate, screen off), then, when I press the lock button it suddenly unlocks.
The main question is - is it a deep sleep problem? Is it an oversensitive scanner? Is it my finger residue? (I try to clean the scanner once in a while)
I also tried installing Xposed, which means I have to set the SELinux to Permissive (removing the sleep 60/70/80 line).
Anyway, I can't seem to find where the problems come from. It seems, when the phone is bone stock, the fingerprint scanner works OK most of the time.
Any help is apreciated! Thanks
I've also made a short video to display the problem.
Sorry about the mumbly voice - big room, crappy mic.

I've this error too, mainly the part of "the phone thinks I'm scanning the finger when I'm not even touching it and locks me out."
This is so annoying that i disable the FP, and this was one of the motives that i bought this phone :/
As you, this start after I root my phone with TWRP 3.0.2.1, but I just add the multiple window in the build.prop, I'm thinking on remove the root and see if this error stops.

I've recently dirty-flashed Aerom on top. Didn't lose any settings, but the fingerprint scanner has improved greatly.
Also, Lux Lite was definitely interfering with the scanner and wake-scan. So I got rid of that.

I dirty-flash the Eragon v2.8, and the FP already increased, and it's rooted. So I think the problem is related with the stock ROM
FP sensor on the unrooted Aerom V5

I have Aerom V5 on my phone, I am not rooted and I have the same problem. For now I have disabled the FP sensor and my battery life increased by 5 hours! I will try Eragon Mod as I prefer my phone rooted and xposed installed. I hope the new ROM won't have this FP issue.
I had several ROMs tested and conclusion is: Activated FP sensor takes about 1,5-2,5% battery per h (normally 0,2-0,5% in a good ROM without FP) in newer ROMs (Kernel > 31.05). For older Kernels it is even worse.
Unfortunately this takes us to the point that using the FP sensor will drain about 20-25% battery over night and nearly 60% in 24h :/ (to be fair: this seems to be a common problem with other devices having an always-on FP too, or to compare: even a Samsung S7 Edge needs two steps to unlock via FP) as i am a fan of using the FP sensor this really is sth. i struggle with. Best way would be to have option to disable "always-on" feature for FP-sensor, so it can be used "old" way: hit button to wake and then unlock via FP. At least it would be also sth. that i would appreciate to have quick widget to enable / disable FP or have it disabled with airplane mode to avoid the battery drain overnight.
Let me know your thoughts...

Everything would be better than disabling the FP completely. The FP scanner was one of the reasons i purchased this phone in first place....
I hope that the newly released kernel can be modified by ROM developers so that the FP scanner is usable.

I totally agree to that and same for me... if this sensor is there, i would really like to use it. In special as it is really good working (besides battery drain). I now ordered another (cheap) always-on FP sensor phone from redmi to compare the behaviour. For me a phone that is completely not used should not have battery drain >0,5% per hour.
I am also looking forward if the kernel source release will help for that issue... but if its hardware related i see no chance at all

Please share your experiences as soon as compared the two phones. I'm curious about it.
So I have flashed my phone with Eragon V3 a few days ago and I have to say I am really happy
Fingerprint reader works very good now (no scans if no finger is on the sensor and very good scan-unlock ratio)
Batterylife is even better as in Aerom V5 (10 hours over night just 4% battery needed with wifi enabled)
with regular use I get one and a half days (music, web browsing, streaming, fp enabled)
Overall performance is very smooth
Xposed and root work very well
Auto-rotate didn't work on a fresh install on LineageOS, though it works on stock.
The solution (found on the linked page) was to add the following lines to /system/build.prop
Code:
log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lockscreen.rot_override=true
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/how-to-enable-auto-rotate-lockscreen-t3245988
When I installed LineageOS and discovered the problem, I could never find a solution and eventually gave up—settling on manual rotation instead. But I managed to come across the solution recently while researching how to make the lock-screen rotation match the selected angle. That is, the lock-screen fix resolved the auto-rotation problem as a side-effect.
I was going to post this as a reply to one of the threads I previously found that mention the problem but now I can't find them... You'd think I'd be able to find the other threads just as easily now as before... Surely I didn't dream all that, right? Hehe.
Judging from what I read previously (and the fact that I experienced it), this appears to be an ongoing issue with no known solution. So, I made this thread. I hope that is acceptable.
Have the same issue on RedMi with LineageOS but this still doesn't solve the problem
Hi Folks,
at the Beginning i installed yalp Store, to download from playstore the App "Sensores Multitool". Its good to check if your Accelerometer work or is damaged.
Here it works but the linageos behaviour did not!
I had the issue the my Desktop, Main Screen did not turn.
Lets try to observe the issue and nail it down.
First step: Activate Auto Rotation in the Bar at the Top, do not know the right Notation for that. Its the Quick Navigation.
Then you have a Setting in your "Settings" -> "Display", like Screen rotating.
Play with Lock Screen Orientation (activate it and check if the Lock Screen (where you enter your Pin..) change Orientation if you activate and deactivate it!). Here it does.
Check if you have Settings open and your Settings twist if you rotate your phone physically... - here it works too!
Maybe you set, as i do your Desktop/Start Page/Main Screen/Trebuchet to keep an Orientation . Press and Hold your Desktop, like you would change the background image or install widgets. Now you check out its gear wheel Settings.. and check if there is another Setting to enable or disable Turns/rotation.
If that is set, your Start Page, Desktop or Main-Screen will force back to your choose Orientation, which seems that the auto rotation did not work.
Oh i think the Lineageos official Name of that Program is: Trebuchet.
Works a treat thanks a million!!
Thanks Silhalnor, this fixed the problem on a Note 3 using LineageOS where the auto rotation stops working after a day or so and requires the phone be rebooted.
Must be a bug in the lockscreen code that makes the orientation sensor go AWOL.
After two years i have the same issue on my Note 4 whit currently lineageos 17.1.
I have to reboot my phone to be return all works normally.
It's another lineageos bug ?!??!?!? Omg......
So as all you may know, most of the new custom ROMs come with fingerprint navigation gestures, which sometimes don't make sense because the soft keys are already enabled.
Sometimes this is annoying because we touch the fingerprint sensor accidentally, or want to set up another gestures, like turning screen off by long-pressing the sensor.
I noticed this annoying thing on LineageOS, Pixel Experience, AOKP and RessurectionRemix.
So how can we set another gestures? If it's by generic.kl (which i tried unsuccesfully), what do we have to do?
Is there an app that can control it?
Thank you all

Hey, i saw your this comment today and i hope you have somehow fixed this issue, i am facing the same one, kindly tell me if there is any way yo totally stop those fingerprint gestures, and only use fingerprint to unlock the device.
I just installed it about 2 hours ago, and I've noticed many new details that Xiaomi didn't mention. This will include most of the new, missing, broken things etc.
The 'new' changelog :
- New scrolling mechanism; it is now an ios clone, and I LOVE IT. It is super smooth! However, it only applies to system apps.
- Faster fingerprint unlock; it is noticeably faster. I'm still not sure if the bugs regarding the fingerprint reader is fixed though.
- The sleep/screen timeout option is now present; previously missing on MIUI 10 :/
- Blur app previews in multitasking; you can now select the apps you want to be blurred in the multitasking section.
- You can now view the battery % next to the icon; previously fixed to in the icon.
- Updated camera app; decreased delay when switching between lenses, stickers and filters in the 'short video' section. Processing is probably better.
- You now have the option to disable quick shortcuts on fingerprint reader
- Updated android boot logo
- Gesture stutters are completely gone!
- Notifications now stay permanently in the status bar!
The things that are missing/broken
- Still no voLTE option
- Audio is still 96kbps
- AI button settings keeps crashing
- Screen randomly turns on multiple times when charging (your mileage may vary)
Do let me know in the comments on what I'm missing

In eu rom 9.10.31 nothing of these.
I have a voLTE working, maybe you mobile provider is blocking this options. There a thread here on XDA about how to force unlock them.
Audio where? just checked in recorder, it's up to 192kbps.
AI button settings, works fine.
About screen on charging, may be i just haven't noticed

Well, this is an official OTA from Xiaomi themselves, eu is always better than the stock MIUI.
