while keeping phone for long time in pocket... finger print does not unlock phone
It is because your phone is pressed against your leg when it is in the pocket. The fingerprint reader keeps registering these presses as unlock attempts, and since it can't register a fingerprint after a few (i think 3) attempts, it disables unlocking by fingerprint and forces you to enter a password/PIN. Keep the phone with the screen pressed against your leg in your pocket to avoid this.

Hello guys, let's start saying that I own an LG G5 se, only because LG couldn't repair my N5x and gave me that...
Until "yesterday", I was used to unlock with my phone by just pulling the phone from my pocket while touching the fingerprint sensor, so by the time necessary to reach "my view/eyes" it was ready to go! And this habit is a die hard!
Now with the G5 se it's a pain: for my understanding the fingerprint sensor needs to have the screen powered on in order to work, so it result in waiting time or "double tap" the sensor as I'm used to touch it while pulling out from the pants!
So.... Is there a way to prevent the touch sensor from "sleeping" so I can unlock faster my phone like my old beloved N5x?
maybe some adb command, an app, but nothing that involves root as it's not available

On my H850 G5 I place finger on reader and it unlocks, even when off. Maybe it's an issue on SE or settting?

Are you saying that if you have the phone in your pocket and you touch ( not push ) the fingerprint you have the haptic feedback and the phone is unlocked and turned on?
I'm not having this (wanted) behavior, and I'm starting to think that it could be a feature/design, OR it could be something related to deep sleep that somehow disables fingerprint scanner.
I have no clue..

The unlock will not work in your pocket as the fingerprint reader is disabled due to the proximity sensor. If I pull the phone out and slide finger onto reader it unlocks. Having the unlock work in pocket would not make sense.

Ok, so it's a feature not a bug, it has 1-2 sec of delay until the proximity recognize that is pulled out... It is simply different from my N5X.
Thank you for helping me to "debug" this problem!

Don't worry it about the post and discussion is interesting
Hi all.
I received my g5 a week ago as a replacement for nexus 6p which had inFamous early shutdown fault.
For first 4 days i loved g5, but on 5th day i started having problems with unlocking device from sleep.
I don't use tap to wake but fingerprint scanner. no screen protectors or case either.
As mentioned first day gave me more or less 1sec response from placing finger to unlocked device. But later it took 5-6 seconds, sometimes pressing power button was helping, and sometimes not. Generally 'always on screen' have to pop up for fingerprint scanner to work properly, but sometimes even after always on screen shows up it take 5 sec for fingerprint scanner to unlock device.
If i lock device and right after i'l try to unlock it with fingerprint scanner it works flawless. but if phone is locked for a few minutes problem comes back.
In addition to that i have noticed that when i make a phone call; take it from ear and put phone in front of my eyes screen lights up after 5-6 seconds a few seconds slower that my wife's 4 year old nexus 5.
I did factory reset. No change. i checked proximity sensor and testing software showes that everything is fine.
Does any of you had something similar?
My fingerprint NEVER works on the first try. Sometime the 2nd and 3rd as well. I've registered both my pointer fingers TWICE each. I have had numerous Android devices including the G7 Power and never had this issue before. Anyone else having the same problem?
I've had the g7 optimo and now the g power 2020. Both have the fastest responding fingerprint sensors I've used. Sounds like you might have a hardware issue.
Yep!! Came from a G7, worked every single time. Now with the G it's hit and miss but only when opening the phone, haven't noticed it having issues with other apps.
What I've found to work out great, I use either pointer finger to unlock, more the right than left. So what I do is scan the right finger 3 times, and the left 2. That way each reading gets a different part of the finger and has a better chance at reading it. Hope that helps
Btw, I've done it on all my devices that have a fingerprint and it's always worked
It's my slowest smartphone talking about of fingerprint, and yes, you need to register your fingerprint very, but very accurately if you want a better unlock response. I needed to delete my fingerprints twice and then I did it again but without back protector and cleaning throughly my fingers, now the unlock accuracy it's better and don't need to try two or three times, but the time till the phone it's completely unlocked it's toooo long.
I would say to set up the fingerprints again. And pay close attention to scanning your entire fingertip slowly.
I have issues if my fingers get a little wet, like from condensation from a glass, or sweaty.
Has anyone else had issue with the finger print sensor responsiveness, in particular with unlocking the phone. Sometimes it is super sensitive and I unlock the screen on accident and then sometimes its completely unresponsive and I have to unlock via PIN.
Usually after unlocking with PIN, finger print sensor works fine for unlocking.
I can confirm this behavior. XQ-BC52 with 61.0.A23.20

I've had the same problem with with older xperia 1, XZ and pretty much all the phones with fingerprint sensor.
when my finger are cold, when in the summer i'm a little sweaty, after eating something i have difficulty in unlocking phones. it's. a limit of fingerprint sensor.
also if for work you ruin a little your finger sometimes you have to register again a new fingerprint

Same here, also on the same model and firmware. But as opposed to @Evil_Sephiroth , I never had such issues on my older phones (Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy Note 9).
However, the fingerprint sensor seems to be a bit more consistent than how it was in September when I first got my Xperia 1 III. I hope they'll continue to improve it since it is still very inaccurate and frustrating.
Also, since the fingerprint sensor is always on, it would be nice if we could expand the status bar with a swipe on the fingerprint sensor. This was possible on my old Note 9 and it would be a nice feature on the Xperia 1 III since it's a really long phone.
