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.

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.

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?

Can you expland me more. Cause the sencond screen works perfectly when the main screen ons.
You already tried wiping and several roms, so it is definitely not a software issue. If it was software the screen would have worked with at least 1 of the roms you tried.

Guys HEEEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!
I have exactly the same problem! Surely someone knows what could cause this? Why does the backlight go off with the main screen??? The display is working, because if you shine light into it, the date/time/notifications are there it's just that the backlight is going off!!!! Surely this is software?
I've factory reset and it made no difference but that doesn't roll back to LP... I just upgraded this phone to the latest software when I bought it so don't know if it had this issue from new.
Sorry to take over the thread, will delete and start a new one if people would prefer.
Don't see how it can be hardware at fault???
Thanks in advance for any help?!

That's bad for you... unlucky.
Can you recall what (if anything) may have caused it to stop working? I'm wondering it mine went bad after LG bridge software update and restore from previous V10 (H961N).
Sent mine back and got another coming this week.. fingers crossed this time. Might update it the same but maybe not restore? or not restore settings at least?
Got my new one. Working fine except it's maybe a tad dimmer compared to my previous V10s second screen. There's definitely variation as it won't go off with my finger over the proximity sensor whereas my brothers one does (this just dims right down). A piece of cardboard or paper shuts it down. But most importantly, it does go off in my pocket... or else the wifi, sound, flashlight etc would be getting switched the whole time.
I solved this problem by checking PINs on mainboard for the second Flex Cable for LCD of LG V10, see the video, READ comments here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpeVAqgU94s, so in my case one of three PINs was folded little, so one PIN contact didn't touch the second Flex Cable and this caused the problem...
Hi,

Not sure if this can be considered a ghost touch issue. Let's say I am swiping up on google feed, the phone instead of scrolling through my feed will open an article instead. It will register a click instead of a swipe action. I have enabled the "Show touches" option in developer settings and I can see that the phone screen is detecting a swipe, but the software is registering it as a tap.
Another issue is that my phones randomly stops reading my fingerprints.
I may have received a lemon.

I am using a note 7 pro tempered glass for my g8x. I was wondering if that's causing this issue.
I called LG service center today, he asked me to factory reset but no luck after that too. He asked me to get software updated from LG service center if problem isn't solved through factory reset. But i guess even that wont solve problem considering this factory reset experience. Seems their latest software is buggy or its hardware issue. Donno what to do should i replace product
I mean seriously this was their last year flagship n this irritating issue they have
Cant understand if they cant deliver good software then why dont they simply provide bootloader unlocking so that users can have custom roms. :X

Hey guys. I think I figured it out. I am guessing most of us facing this issue are using gestures for navigation.
I put navigation buttons back and the issue stopped. Then I again activated gestures and reduced sensitivity. And issue is still not there. Again I increased sensitivity and still issue is not there. I am guessing it is a bug in gesture controls. Pls check and see guys.
If you guys still have the issue, then the other things I have done is a factory reset and a debloat of the OS.
I doubt these are the reason for fix though.

I didn't get a proper response from google. However, I got a response in an iFixit forum.
"Hey Tilan, speaking as a Google Certified Technician, through the pixel repair process, there is currently issues with the finger calibration connection via Windows. So far, all of my store’s computers are not able to properly run the fingerprint calibration. The only time that I was able to make it successful was through another android phone, in this case was my Pixel 5, and another Chromebook. Got news that some other location starts to have it working on their computers, but don’t take my words for it"
I still haven't tried this though.

Same with me either.
Even the latest security patch didn't work for me.
But swapping the old fingerprint scanner from the broken screen to the new screen worked.(It did not even required calibration as it recognised the fingerprint straight away).
Just a really poor launch by Google. Buggy software everywhere.
Are there just some people's FPs that just work well with many diff kinds of phones and with both optical and ultrasonic FPS? I've used Samsung's versions, OnePlus and Google now and I never ran into any issues using their FPS.

I also tried to swap the fingerprint sensor from my old screen to my new screen now. It's a bit tricky as I wasn't able to make it perfectly centered / flat the first time, so I had a lot of issues first to get it to read. I opened it up again, cleaned the back glass for the sensor cutout, and used a heat gun to melt the glue and was able to get it centered and flat this time.
Thanks for the tip!
It feels like the calibration software isn't going to be working anytime soon, and this is the way to do it for now.
Is there really no way to get the fingerprint scanner working again after a screen repair? There must be a way....

Hello
Im on same situation, my display are broken... any new about software of google?
Btw, anyone recommend a display?
Best regards
any solution for this , my display got broken , bought display from ifixit its on the way ..should i swap the sensor or not , i think swapping is tricky i need to keep the sensor which comes with the new display .. please help me regarding with this .
I eagerly installed the Dec 2021 update on my Pixel 6 a couple of weeks back - hoping to improve the FP pass rate.
But I am convinced its gotten worse.
It seemed better at first - but soon deteriorated...
Since the update, whilst it still unlocks on the 1st attempt occasionally, I am finding far more instances where it completely fails to recognise my FP and I am forced to put my PIN number in to unlock.
Prior to the update, it would unlock more often on the 1st attempt - otherwise it may have taken 2-3 attempts to unlock and very rarely I would have to enter the PIN.
Same here! adding more of the same finger did not help!
It was better or about the same from 13/12 until 25/12, and now I hardly can use it. have to enter password all the time.

But I am convinced its gotten worse.
It seemed better at first - but soon deteriorated...
Since the update, whilst it still unlocks on the 1st attempt occasionally, I am finding far more instances where it completely fails to recognise my FP and I am forced to put my PIN number in to unlock.
Prior to the update, it would unlock more often on the 1st attempt - otherwise it may have taken 2-3 attempts to unlock and very rarely I would have to enter the PIN.

I am not sure where you are located geographically, but in the northern hemisphere it is now winter. As such the overall humidity levels (particularly indoors) tends to be very low and skin is drier. What you may be seeing is your skin seasonally drying out - and the P6 is terrible at reading dry fingerprints.

can confirm, i live in Vermont and the finger print reader takes 4-6 times to register..everytime. used to do it in 1-2 before the temp dropped. its by far the most frustrating part of this phone so far.

I had a feeling about this - but never had the same issue with my previous OnePlus phones with screen based FP reader.
Also, the back sensor on cheap Oppo phone or basic Nord N100 work fine - unlock first time...
Did anybody here read the other 8+ threads here in the Pixel 6 thread about the finger print reader. ?
Just curious, why no one found any help there....
Not looking for help, just sharing and trying to get an idea of other people's experiences post Dec update.

Back sensors use different technology than in screen ones.

I think his point was that there are a half dozen FPR threads already and another is not really needed. Why not find an older one and update that? Wouldn't that make more sense?
Worst FPR ever put on a phone
Ok this is beyond a joke now. Why in the hell would these morons remove face unlock only to add the absolute worst fingerprint reader I've ever dealt with on any phone I've ever owned. I never thought I'd consider going back to pin unlock...

Just installed a glass screen protector and FPR won't recognize
I did the steps people have said to do like increase touch sensitivity and re add all the fingers I would use but it still won't work. I don't know who made this protector since I got it off a marketplace site and when I met with the person all...

As you will note, I mentioned that multiple OnePlus phones with screen based sensors worked fine for me.
I am also aware that back sensors use different tech - the point was that cheapo bottom of the range phones have no problems with fingerprints - so why does my £600 phone not work as well. It's not good enough.

Because some are pre update, and some of the post update threads are more concerned with who has received the update and who has not.
Seriously don't understand the problem, I create a thread with a very specific question and suddenly I am took to task for it...woah....
No problem in the fingerprint department for me since Dec update. It is almost perfect now. Very rare to get failed reads.
If only I had some cell signal though

Sent it back for a refund.
I would not put up with all the troubles that you are having.
My P6 works good before the December update and after the December update.
As said multiple times in the
other threads.

I would love to - but its been over 2 months since I ordered it. I foolishly hoped that Google would fix it ASAP - and the 1st attempt has been less than satisfactory...Wish I had returned it within the 30 days...
There seems to be some hope of a workaround... Fingerprint Reader tip
