Hi Guys
recently I went to CM7 (with fingerprint scanner) and switched back to Darkside again.
Now i find that my fingerprint scanner do not boot up right away when i switch my screen on, ( I have to wait for a second or 2 before i can swipe and have it read )
or else it won't register the swipe and it will just say please swipe finger sensor
Anyone else had similar problem before?
and yes I do full clean wipes inbetween roms
Thanks
Have you tried any other ROMS to make sure it isn't a hardware issue?

I am rooted on 1.57 and have version 2 of GingerBlur. I wanted to set up a pattern and fingerprint recognition for my lock screen. I have the pattern setup so when I go to settings and click OK so enroll new fingerprints the phone sort of freezes. I tap back and home a bunch and after a couple of seconds it goes back. It won;t let me swipe my fingerprints though and add that to the lock screen. What do I do?
Unfortunately I have a similar probelm, I think. After updating to GB2.5 last night my fingerprint scanner has become totally unresponsive. I tried to re-enable it but don't really know how I would do that. When I go to set up a fingerprint scan it basically acts like I'm not swiping my finger.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Same problem; Atrix gingerblur 2.5 flashed from stock 1.26.
Did you guys ever find a solution to this? I'm having the same exact issue...
I had the same issue last week until I did a SBF flash to 1.87 and then re-flashed to gingerblur 3.5.
Hi,
Can anyone try sliding your 'unregistered' finger across home button and see if it'll unlock?
Im asking because with my gs6 edge it'll unlock with any finger when i slide it.
Hm....defect?
Hmm, couldn't reproduce that, mine either wrong or got cancelled out, when I was asked to put my registered finger when opening the fingerprint menu.

No, even sliding with my registered finger I can't unlock it.
yeah it was weird Factory reset seemed to have fixed the issue.
Hello,
Long time lurker here and was hoping for some advice/ suggestions.
I have a Canadian S9 Plus (on Bell Mobility) and noticed the following issues/ annoyances:
1) When the phone is woken up (e.g. pressing the virtual home button, plugged into charger, new text message received, etc.), the screen would turn on, continuously look for fingerprints ("Wipe the fingerprint sensor and try again" message would keep flashing) and would not shut off until I press the power button to turn off the screen
2) The fingerprint sensor generally works (e.g. unlocks the phone, swipes to drop down notification window), HOWEVER it does not work to unlock the phone if the phone has been sleeping for more than a few minutes (nothing happens no matter which direction I swipe/ press the fingerprint sensor). When I try to unlock the phone, I will have to press the power button to wake up the phone then swipe the fingerprint sensor. This may be a standard feature, but after pressing the power button to wake up the screen I will always get a message that says "The fingerprint sensor may be dirty. Clean it and try again.". Again the fingerprint sensor otherwise works so cleanliness of the sensor isn't really an issue here.
Has this happened to anyone's phone? I tried clearing cache/ resetting app preferences/ factory resetting the phone multiple times but with no luck. I also called Samsung but the conversation didn't go anywhere.
Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help!
Have not had that issue with mine.
Do you have the finger sensor gesture on?

Tried both finger gesture on and off - no difference with the same issues persisting :crying:
this is the exact issue im facing when i got my s9+, i also thought that it was a factory defect. but luckily recently it didnt came up again and i did nothing. but still continuing monitoring the issue as it is really so bothersome.
Sounds like a defect to me. I'd exchange it.
I have not had any issues. Have you tried re-scanning your fingers? I noticed that this finger print scanner is different from the one on my LG V20. It feels different, and seems to operate different. It's also a little smaller which makes me have to position my fingers different.
I also read the instructions wrong.. I was supposed to swipe my finger during the setup. I was pressing it down. Either way mine works great.
Same issue here, did you manage to solve it?

Not at all - I ended up returning it. Any luck on your end?
Maybe try registering your finger/s with and without a case on. See what happens.
Same issue here. This is the one thing that really bugs me about this phone.
Greetings,
Does anyone have this issue? Phone wakes up when fingerprint reader is touched (with any finger) even when it's not set up? Is there any workaround?
Nope. In my case the phone just vibrates when touched with non-registered finger, but the screen remains dark.

That happens to me as well if I have a fingerprint set up.
But if there is absolutely no fingerprint is set up, the phone still wakes up whenever the scanner is touched.
To see if you have this issue, delete all your fingerprints from your f1, turn off the display and touch the fingerprint sensor and see what happens.
Yes, then it works like in your case, the phone wakes up.
As I'm using the fingerprint reader, it is not an issue for me. In your case, maybe just add a fingerprint hard to use, e.g. thumb, phone will vibrate when touched but at least will not wake up.

It's not a big issue. I was just wondering if it's only a problem with my specific unit.
If its a software issue probably get fixed with updates or maybe a different rom.
You never know if it's a bug or a feature

If the FP lock gets triggered without having it activated/registered, it's a major bug and posses a huge security threat.

Nope I don't have any such issue on miui beta 9.4.26
I would suggest you to do a factory reset if you continue to have this issue.
My phone came with oreo, it had this issue.
Now using 10.3.4 stable (prerooted) the issue persists.
Haven't tried lineageos.
This is a software feature from miui, my mi max used to also light up when no fingerprint is registered. It can be turned off somewhere in settings iirc.
If you don't have a finger print set up, then the finger print sensor acts a bit like the power button to wake the screen. I don't see why you would consider this to be a bug but I've seen this in a few other phones as well. Doesn't strike me as being a problem but maybe that's just me.

Well, if you accidentally touch it phone will wake up without you knowing. It can happen while its in your pocket.
Anyone using non-MIUI rom, do you also have this problem?
Dear Brothers from XDA family!
I hope you must be keeping well .
Problem: I have figured out a fix for Nokia 3.2 fingerprint scanner issue where it use to stop working after a while and if you reboot it, the option to fingerprint goes away from settings.
Solution:
Place your finger on fingerprint scanner and reboot your Nokia 3.2, keep your finger on scanner until you get to unlock screen. Unlock your screen with Pin/ Password and your fingerprint is back again.
Ps: You will need to repeat this step everytime you reboot/start your device or your fingerprint is buggy.
Developers are requested to figure out fix for this issue and help us.
Regards,
Have a wonderful life ahead.
