Today i have resetted my fingerprint data and i have configured a new fingerprint. After the scanning the phone says: Fingerprint Scanner Error. Now the phone it's unlocked, but i can't set the fingerprint as lockscreen. it doesn't recognize also the alternative password.
P.s sorry for my bad english
How can I disable the Redmi Note 3 Pro fingerprint scanner in the firmware or in the OS kernel?
P.S. The problem is that I want to use ported Redmi Note 3 Special Edition (kate) MIUI 7 Global 7.3.9 for kenzo, but it has a big problem with FP scanner, so I need to disable it somehow. How can I do it?

I have another problem. I have disabled fingerprint sensor, no fingerprint is registered but...when the phone screen is off, if i touch the figerprint scanner it wakes up the screen (in screen lock). It is very disturbing becouse every time i pick up the phone it lights up...
Any fix for this pls??
I am on official 8.1.4.0
Me too, I have the same problem, the screen wakes up when I touch the fp sensor. How can I disable this?
i'm also have problem, using CM13-fk Optimized.. not registering FP, but still when screen OFF then touch FP making screen become ON..
please developer @Umang96 or @TheStrix help us..
Had the same issue on Redmi note 4x (Snapdragon). I was very annoyed with the phone waking up all the time I touch accidently the fingerprint sensor.
Recently I finally found a working sollution (credits go to user cherva70 from Russian 4pda forum!):
You'll need a rooted device
Go to system/usr/keylayout folder and open the file Generic.kl with text editor
change the line
key 353 DPAD_CENTER
to
key 353 MENU
save
reboot (no need to wipe cache)
by this you bind 'menu' button to your fingerprint sensor, they will now work exactly the same way. And as the 'menu' button normally doesn't wake-up the phone, so won't the sensor
Best part - fingerprint sensor will still have its main functionality and you'll be able to unlock the phone or any other app when you're prompted so.
Dont work on my Redmi Note 4 :S

As in the title.
I tested it and the sensor on android 7 still wakes up my device.
Is it known how to deactivate the finger sensor completely? The part constantly wakes up my device when I'm against it.

Confirmed working on Redmi Note 4.

the better way to solve the problem??
Hi,
I have a problem with my fingerprint scanner. I'm unable to access my fingerprint settings in any ROM stock emui/LO 13/MIUI apart from LO 14. I flashed LO 14 today and the fingerprint scanner that I thought was broken allowed me to add my fingerprint. I tried flashing stock emui to remove the fingerprint, but I can't seem find the fingerprint setting anywhere.
hi people, looking to your advice and suggestions.
I was on Android 9 Miui 10. Last night I did a dirty flash to Android 10 Miui 11. There was no issues during this process and the phone booted up fine with no loss of data.
Steps I took -
1) Disabled Magisk modules
2) Removed all screenlock and Google and MIUI accounts
3) Made a Nandroid backup before flashing
Today morning, I tried to set up screenlock on Android 10 MIUI 11. Added the pattern lock, and added a fingerprint. Strangely when I tried to add one more fingerprint (for my left index finger), it asked me to set pattern lock again. Well I set it again, and added the new fingerprint. Same thing happened when I set the face unlock. I added the pattern lock again. But, the patternlock never turned to ON status, even though fingerprint and facelock was showing ON.
When I tried to lock the screen and to test it out, I was able to unlock with swipe (with no pattern, fingerprint or face unlock required). I haven't set any smart unlock as well.. I thought perhaps a reboot will help, but now I'm stuck on a soft bootloop ( the phone boots upto to the lockscreen and reboots before I can do anything )
Is there any suggestions on what I can do ? Please advise. Thanks in advance

Fix
Managed to fix it my myself. FYI
1) Boot TWRP Recovery click Advanced> File Manager> data> system and delete 6 files (ref : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008)
1.access_control.key
2.access_control_password_type.key
3.locksettings.db
4.locksettings.db-shm
5.locksettings.db-wal
6./data/system/users/0/settings_fingerprint.xml
Bootup was successful
2) After bootup, you might find it difficult to set the screenlock password (won't take affect). Follow this -
In a web browser (on any device), log into Gmail with the account you used when setting up your phone.
Go to https://myaccount.google.com/intro/find-your-phone
Press "Lock your phone"
Enter "abcd"
Your phone's screen is now locked. Unlock it with "abcd"
You can now change your screen lock.

Hi there,
Good that you resolved on your own.
Also, this bug can be resolved this way. Try to setup second space. If you are already setup earlier with a password then follow the other member guide until the removal of locksettings db files. Then reboot and try setup the second space.. while setting up it will request to setup the password or pattern for first space and finger prints for second space. Once done move to first space and setup the fingerprints there for first space.
Just making a note here.. so somebody can make use of it in need at desperate hours...
I have spent sometime to figure this bug in the first space but setting up second space solved the bug.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
