Hi, I just got my new tab s6. So far I love it but I have one problem. Fingerprint scanner stopped working after one day. It not recognize any fingerprint. I can't unlocked my device and even add new fingerprints after I removed old ones. Yesterday it works 9 oof 10 tries. Rebooting devices not help.

Have you installed a screen protector?
The fingerprint scanner is awful. I am on the newest November update and most of the time it's not able to read my fingerprint. I don't have a screen protector either.

No screen protector.
This generation of in screen FP readers really are disappointing. Same for my Note 10+.

My when works works very well. The scanner recognized my fingerprints 9 out of 10 but now I can't even add new fingerprint. Every time I put my finger on scanner I had Information to cover the entire scanner with your finger and try again.

I know that. It makes both of them no less disappointing.
For now, factory reset help. Fingerprint scanner works again. We'll see how long this time it will work.
Hopefully Samsung fixes it in the next update. I had fingerprint scanner issues from day one, it took me a few tries to even get my finger print registered.
I've only had my s6 for a few days, but I had no problem registering my fingerprints... and it works perfectly (and quickly) each time I unlock the tablet

My fp reader was fine until the 2.0 update recieved 11/12. You're advised to delete existing and rescan. Now very difficult to rescan. Don't do update or delete if you don't have to.

apart from this one incident, the fingerprint reader works better than I expected. correctly recognizes 9 out of 10 attempts.

New V10 update from Verizon, anyone try it yet?

Haven't received it yet. But very disappointed that it does not contain the fingerprint fix.
Don't download any updates if you want to root the device in the future.
Grabbed a quick screen capture...sorry for not noticing your link.

Oh really ... that's awesome to know! I'll test it as soon as my phone gets it. I guess they never mentioned it in the release notes since they didn't want to acknowledge that the problem existed in the first place
I'm loading it now. I'll let everyone know Once I have a chance to fool around with it.

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?

Just popped it on a charger, with case....no problem unlocking with fingerprint scanner.
Yes, my speaker volume seems to be louder after the update.
Can anyone with louder volume show their mixer paths? Or shoot me the file? Thanks in advance.
So I bought XRN3 (Snapdragon) 2 days ago and loving it! There is insignificant bug with fingerprint scanner. So I scanned my index fingers and am using it. I scanned them in natural position (meaning placing finger with nail facing up to the 3.5mm jack and IR blaster). If I scan my finger by turning it 180 degree, phone still unlocks but locks right away, which means it works, but locks again for some reason. Same for other index finger. It doesn't happen all the time through, sometimes it just unlocks. Anyone having these too?
I'm on MIUI 8.1.1.0 Global Stable.
Maybe you are blocking proximity sensor.
Happens almost the same. It beahve very strange. It started working faster on MIUI8 so I thing they changed smth

Go to lock screen and fingerprint setting the turn of all the features listed at the bottom that should help

Thanks! Tried. Doesn't helped I noticed that on MIUI7 there was less fingerprint reading errors. Tried to rewrite fingeprints settings several times. Don't know. But that doesn't bother me a lot.

I had the same issue, even after updating to the new firmware. what i did was i restored/reset (Repaired) via the Xperia companion app. Now at least for me the fingerprint reader works flawless every single time.
So if formatting your phone is an option for you, that should work. (Was a pain re-installing all apps and re-setting all logins and all, but this really ironed out lot of issues for me)
I am on June update and I can tell you that formatting the device does NOT help. I don't have the July update yet to say if that they fixed the issue.
I hate the fact that it doesn't recognize my FP. It feels like Xperia Z5 all again. Then again FP is so deep seated and it's really difficult to use it when there's a case on.

Xperia 1 - July Firmware FPR Lag Solved/Fixed
As i mentioned before, after the july firmware my FPR works mostly every single time. I guess every phone is different or maybe you can try what i did, it may just work for you.
I did a factory reset using the "Software repair" function in the Xperia Companion with the latest firmware, now the UI is amazingly smoother and the FPR reader works flawlessly.
I have made a small video showing exactly how good the reader works now. If you have the time please watch it and also follow the steps mentioned above if you have the time to restore all the apps and setting, but trust me its better than just living with an awful finger print function.

I'm on August update and I get this frequently. There is a bug somewhere on this and when I hit the fingerprint issue, I just restart the phone and its perfect again (well after initial pin login due to reboot haha)
It's quite annoying but haven't had time to figure it out. Something with music app running while locked or?
I found an issues with fingerprint
I add 5 fingerprint for 2 finger but
When I try other finger and rotate phone At the same time after multiple try The phone lock will open
It's not safe
Wait, you added 5 fingerprints for 2 fingers and are blaming the phone? Really?
Thanks for replying.
Now, I know something new.
And I found the reason for my law. And that was not the definition of a finger.
I can't explain the solution to you. But the fingerprint sensor works properly.
I can only say my settings was the problem.
Sorry
thanks
I think Mi A3 has a terrible security issue on this fingerprint. I have set my right finger print and all my colleagues were able to unlock my phone. First I thought one guy and I had some dimension same. But 5 of them unlocked it.This is totally annoying
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.

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.

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...

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

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
