Biometric (fingerprint) data changes after reboot - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have Blackview BV9800Pro, stock Android Pie, rooted with magisk.
I recently noticed that my mobile payments and banking apps like paypal does turn off the fingerprint (in app) for the login if phone is rebooted, while it works perfectly on screenlock. So after reboot I have to go to android settings and remove that fingerprint and re-add it then and so it will work again untill I reboot again.
Any ideas about this issue?

Fingerprint is not working in wickr with android pie on G965F

Fingerprint is not working in wickr with android pie on G965F, when i start the app i get the message: Too many attempts. Try again later. i get the message before trying to unlock with fingerprint.
Tried contacting their support and they told me to uninstall restart, create new fingerprints, restart, re-install, restart, enable fingerprint, restart.
I have tried all i can think of except factory reset but ill guess that's next, just wanted to see if any1 have fingerprint in wickr working on pie and G965F

Same here, using TheGalaxyProject ROM on Pie.
Are you using stock?
Yes. Stock without root.
Ive just tried a complete reset and reinstall with the same problem, so suspect it is with the device.
I'll raise with Wickr Devs - plz do the same so they are aware.
Did you do factory reset? I've already notified their support.
Same for me after upgrading my stock S9 to One UI today. Annoying thing is I can't remember my password. Used to just use finger print unlock. When this happened before I upgraded I would just press the menu key and close the app, restart it and finger print unlock would work. After updating this work around no longer works.
K'+
I got a mail from their support. They are working on it.
It's fixed in the latest version.

Cannot setup PIN/pattern after rooting Galaxy S9+ (SM-G965F) (Android Pie 9.0)

I'm using Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus (SM-G965F) (Android Pie 9.0) and I rooted my phone by using Magisk, after that I cannot setup PIN or pattern. After I setup PIN/pattern and I go to add biometrics screen, when I confirm my PIN/pattern, there's a popup tell me that "PIN/pattern is incorrect."
How I root my phone ?
1. Flash stock Android Pie firmware via Odin
2. Flash TWRP recovery
3. Boot into TWRP
4. Wipe data
5. Flash RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2.zip
6. Flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-samsung-1.0.zip
7. Flash kernel ElementalX-S9-2.01.zip
8. Flash root file Magisk-v18.0.zip
9. Reboot
Did I do something wrong ?
OMG! Finally I've found someone reporting the same issue! My situation is a bit different, but the result is the same as yours. I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 (SM-G960F), and here are a few things worth noting:
I flashed the latest Pie-based firmware for the LUX-region from updato.com through ODIN
I flashed twrp-3.3.0-0-starlte.img.tar through ODIN
I tried flashing both no-verity-opt-encrypt-samsung-1.0.zip and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip, and I flashed RMM-State_Bypass_Mesa_v2.zip
I did not flash a custom kernel
Finally, I flashed Magisk v19.2.zip
Everything seemed to work just fine (during my limited time on Pie), but I encountered the same weird behaviour as you when trying to set up my fingerprint. If I dared to reboot my phone after that, it got stuck in some weird loop where the SIM unlock screen will show for a split second, and then turn off again for a moment. That pattern was repeated continuously, and sometimes it rebooted itself. I could basically not get back into my phone.
Please, PLEASE, tell me you've figured this out!? Or if not you, then somebody else. For now, I've restored the backup I made through TWRP prior to flashing Android Pie, so I'm back to a rooted version of Android Oreo. I'll probably stay there unless I have a solution for this problem, cause I just can't see myself using my phone without root access.
The joys of being a power user...
Same problem
I'm using a Samsung S9 (SM-G9600) and my rooting process was quite the same as yours. Phone works just fine, but I can't seem to set any kind of lock screen (including fingerprints, which forbids me from using fingerprint unlock on other apps too).
It's Samsung security stuff, you'd have to remove it to be able to use security again.
As to what exactly you need to remove, I'm not really sure.
Anyone got any updates? I got the same problem. I tried removing the *.key files in twrp to reset the Pin. It does work and it resets the pin asking for a new one but when i set it to 0000 and try to register a fingerprint it says the pin is incorrect.

Mi a3 android 10 update

I want to try out android 10 on my mi a3. I've even downloaded it. But i don't know how to install it. Some one help me please.
Android 10 for mia3 haven't out yat. you need to use custom rom in order to use it.
You just need twrp but if i were you stay on pie for now. Two unwanted changes concerning fingerprint and camera pro mode arising in android 10. It makes me wanna downgrade but cant anymore

No issues with camera or fingerprint here on my device.
Try clearing data for camera or something. Have you tried anything at all with your camera app to get it working?
I did a factory reset after updating to 10. Set fingerprints, installed all apps, fhen restarted! That restart broke my fingerprint completely. Its completely non functional now. Only works once after restarting to open the phone, then its not there at all.

My camera is working same goes with fingerprint. But it is not featured the way it was on pie.
No 32s on pro mode
Fingerprint requires a tap for fod to display.
The rollout was pulled due to bugs. I had downloaded a copy and booted into recover using the power and volume up buttons. Once I saw the open Android I pressed power and tapped volume up again to get to options menu. I hit the apply update from SD option. It started to update but kept failing shortly after it started update. Kind of glad it didn't since there's a lot of bugs. Let's see how long before they start pushing update again SMH.

Question AOD and fingerprint doesn't work after upgrade to Android 12

Hello,
Have global version of the phone. Yesterday have installed Android 12 firmware by OTA.
Always on display functionality doesn't work anymore - have tried all modes and on/off states. Also fingerprint scanner not showing and working on turned off screen at all. On android 11 I was able to unblock phone just using scanner. Now I must turn on screen by power button before. Is any some settings that I've missed or it bug of new firmware?
Also is there a way to downgrade firmware?
Thank you.

hi, i have the same problems after updating the os via ota. Both a soft and hard reset were useless
Same bug after upgrading from full ota file
I've have a solution for this issue. It's not ideally - because you cannot restore the phone from backup and need to migrate all data and applications manually.
I have loaded phone in the recovery mode (turning on by power button + volume down button) and perform the wipe data operation. After reboot I've initialized the phone without restoring from backup.
AOD works correctly but the fingerprint sensor doesn't showing by default on AOD screen. I've turned off/on the Show finderprint settings and all works fine.
After that I've installed and initilized all applications from Google play.
I've installed OTA today, have no issues, Global Version, Germany.
Hi, have same problem with mine, Poland - GDPR.
Edit, AOD started working for me after formating data from recovery mode. Dont use in-android wiping.
Edit 2: AOD is working untill i log in to google...
Same issue here! Global Version - Italy
It's very annoying, I hope in a fast new update
Same problem here. Global Version - Spain
No way to make AOD work. Have tried all possible setups. It was working fine in previous version. Quite frustrating.
I've also noticed since updating to Realme UI 3.0 - Android 12, that some apps are asking for fingerprint to unlock, while other apps ask for face unlock...
These apps would always ask for fingerprint in previous version.
Anyone else facing this problem?
I have the same issue when I try to unlock an app with finger. The finger sensor not appears. I must power off screen and then power up for sensor appear and works
