What's the crack with the fingerprint reader? Is it compatible with screen protectors? Can't find any information about it at all.

I'm assuming it's the same FP reader as in the S10 and N10, which means it's compatible with your typical soft TPU or PET file screen protectors. I.e. Skinomi, Ringke Easy Film, etc... As far as tempered glass it would have to be a full adhesive protector.
For example on the curved screens of the N10, all the tempered glass screen protectors just have adhesive around the edges, so there's an air gap under the glass, which blocks the ultrasonic FP reader. Except Whitestone Dome, which attaches the glass with LOCA glue and is the only screen protector certified to work with the FP reader.
But since the S6 will have a flat screen, you should be able to find a TGSP that is full adhesive, which theoretically will not affect the FP sensor.

Allegedly it's not the ultrasonic fingerprint reader, that's the only info I have seen. If it's not that I'm not sure it is which is the problem.
As the tab S6 uses an optical fingerprint scanner (as apposed to the ultrasonic scanner in the S10/N10) it should work with any screen protector
Have applied a glass screen protector to the Tab S6. No issues whatsoever with the fingerprint sensor. The sensor is an optical one. In fact, the Tab S6 fingerprint reader feels quicker and more reliable than the one on the S10/S10+, even if not as secure.
(The Tab S6 has been available for purchase in Singapore stores since 24 Aug).
But i have problems with it now.
I cannot add new fingerprint.
The middle shows a very small green print. That should grow and grow, but it doesn't.
What am i doing wrong?
Restarted, quit all programs etc efc
First it did not read my old print. I cleaned it and now it is working. But a new one....
Look at the picture here. Only a small print in the middle.

I made a new topic... But solved... I had to push much harder
Still, sometimes, the Tab does not read any of my prints,but after a while it starts working
1. I want to enter the start screen with any of the three fingers, without success
2. I do a test in the fingerprints settings menu and no finger recognised
3. After a while it starts working, every time a little better/faster.
Seems a software problem
I've mainly been using face recognition, it's rapid.
I switched it off. Working terribly. Successful make of finger print, log maybe 3 4 times fast, then not entering at all.
I hope sw problem, I have tab with very first sw version, 1.jun dated, it even have tab s4 wallpapers not s6.
I have used another brand adhesive based screen protector on my expensive Samsung, curved screen phones (Note 8, S10+, now S20+) a few times, each time with limited success. This one seems to have the best qualities without much of the headaches. The difference seems to be two fold - 1) the glass does not curve to fit the screen. On my S20+, it is a flat glass, which covers the screen perfectly, given the small bezel of the S20+ and 2) the weight provided, to be placed on the fingerprint reader during installation.
The Samsung curved Gorilla Glass, while attractive and smooth, does not like screen protectors when used with a case. The fact that this is a flat screen works well with my case (a generic silicon case).
The fingerprint recognition worked immediately, without having to re-register my fingerprint.
The screen is slick - almost slippery - but is just as sensitive to the touch as the naked glass. An added benefit seems to be it's oleophobic (no fingerprints) ability. It doesn't pick up any fingerprints.
Installation is easy, if you take your time and follow directions. Use the level. Clean the screen. Open the adhesive from the proper end. wait for the adhesive to cover the entire screen, and then, wait some more. Use the UV light for the proscribed time. I read some negative reviews here and it is apparent that directions are not being followed. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS! This isn't rocket science, people.
Botoom line - this is better in many ways to the alternative adhesive screen protector that is on Amazon, and I paid about $10 less. I would do it again, and will for my wife's phone.
I purchased this screen protector and am not being paid to write this review.

Does the fingerprint sensor work?

Yes it does
You need to re scan your fingerprints post install though
I've had it on my S20 ultra for a few months now and no issues, no lifting at the edges either
I recently bought a tempered glass on amazon for my Samsung S20 Plus and got it delivered a month ago. Was eager to try it on and upon trying I realized that it won't stick well around the curved edges. Sadly I wasted 800rs on that. Then my cousin refered me a screen protector from GadgetShieldz, he had been using the same for his Samsung S20 which had a curved screen as well. At first while purchasing I was afraid because I had to apply the product to the phone. But after reffering to their "How to?" videos, I got it perfect the first time. If you too are confused like I was, feel free to follow the below link and check out their collection. They have body protectors too if you want transparent protection for body!

The mix 4 came with a screen protector installed?
There is seemingly to be a piece that intentionally left out the circle at the Top, hence making the front camera position very obvious.
I've been trying to remove it, from the sides, but have difficulty doing so...
Yes it has low quality protection screen foil.
thanks, i've managed to tear it away.
found some tempered glass on ebay, looks a very good fit, but no tried them yet,
Has anyone found a protector without holes/cutouts? I bought two sets and both of them have holes for the front camera.
Yeah there are some tempered glass on amazon, good but fingerprint sensor stops working.
I am currently using a film version now, ok but peel at the edges.
Hello XDA!
I bought the Sony Xperia Pro-I in the beginning of December 2021 and love how this phone captures pictures. They are simply put amazing.
Unfortunately, the quality of the phone is much left to be desired. As you can see on the pictures, the fingerprint sensor is chipped or scratched. The camera lens has a deep scratch. The rear panel housing has some sort of black spots that cover almost all of the back panel.
I know some of you might say that I am being careless but that is not the case. I always use my phones in cases and have a tempered glass screen protector on. I am very careful not to put the phone inside with any keys, sharp objects or the like. I had many phones including phones from Apple, Oneplus, Samsung, Xiaomi, Google etc and never ever had I had a scratch on a camera lens or some dark spots on the rear panel of the phone or even a scratch on a fingerprint sensor.
May anyone tell me if they are experiencing the same kind of faults with this phone? Does anyone know what are those black spots on the rear housing?
Notes:
- I noticed that dust collects really quickly inside the cases that I use and I always take the case off just to clean with a soft cloth the dust and then put it back in the case.
- The dark spots on the rear panel housing don't come off when I try to wipe it with a soft wet cloth or even with alcohol.
The ‘sratch” on the lens is rather a crack, the ring is also dented there, not sonys fault. The fingerprint probably got hit by somethins as well. But the back glass imperfections are disappearing, maybe you something got spilled on it. Mine looks perfect, brand new, have daily driven it since Jan. Use the sony leather case, which was a disappointment, the fake leather “melted” and came off. Junk.
I think you've got unlucky and something hit your camera lens quite hard. My Pro-I is in use since December without a case and it's still in nearly mint condition.
Agree. I owned 2 Pro-i and was very disapointed with the build quality. Back cover was not tight, and the bezel coating is easily damaged with nail scratch. After using a few weeks, the back cover will have some stains like grease...
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.
