Does the skinomi screen protector interfere with the proximity sensor?
Sent from my EVO LTE using xda premium
Mine doesn't. Works fine.
From what I understand, they are redesigning the protector to have a hole for the proximity sensor. I'm using one right now on both my phone and the wifes and there's no issue with the proximity sensor.
However, both are covered in microbubbles after almost 2 weeks of installation. Skinomi is shipping out new ones for me. Really disappointed.
i have been using one since launch with no problems whatsoever.
I will soon buy a Moto one Zooom. Could someone give me an advice for a good screenprotector because I would like to use the Fingerprint sensor. I would use the Screen Protector from BROTECt because I had one and they were good. Would this work too?
Hi, does anyone else experience a fingerprint reading issue with a glass-based screen protector?
I've tried 2 versions already (with camera hole and without), and with both of them unlocking the phone using a fingerprint is far from working smoothly.
I've tried to re-add the fingerprint and enable the touch sensitivity, but the result is the same.
I'd before a silicon-based protector which used to work perfectly, but I don't like this type of protector.

Ultrasonic FP sensor does not work with glass protector, not perfectly. Use plastic ones, or UV glue (like whitestone dome). I decided to go without protection, obviosly the best solution...until the first crack or scratch.

Thanks for the detailed information. I'd a silicon one but it got scratched very quickly.
I will search for alternatives!

delete your fp
add fprints again after new screen protector placed
( i made with mine, just press a little more when you're setting new fp )
Try amFilm Hybrid. Its half plastic half glass and it works flawlessly. Been using since day one, no issues with FP.

Tried that already, indeed it works better when I'm hard-pressing my fp but this kind of experience is not what I've hoped for.
Literally, I really thought that an under-the-screen detector is the best solution but once I understood that it works only for a specific point in the screen, and the issues with various glass-based protectors, I think that a sensor in the back of the Smartphone is actually a better solution.

Any glass screen protector with uv glue should be working fine if u press a little on the fingerprint location while uv-ing.. been using it since s10+
I'm using a film screen guard from Gadgetshieldz and I don't have issues with fingerprints, it's the tempered glasses that are causing the problem! I used tempered glass on my S21 and had the fingerprint sensor issue.
Dear Community,
Received a S23Ultra and now I am on the lookout for a glass(but not limited to) screen protector which allows for working Fingerprint Unlock. I wrote Glass because i guess something like the whitestone dome would dissipate the impact forces in the glass protector, instead of transmitting it to the screen. Previously i know zagg had a impact protective Film, but now they changed their products too much, it confusing.
What is your experience ? what do you recommend ?
Thanks
My phone is due to arrive tomorrow and I'll be trying these screen protectors. I've looked through all the usual brands I'd use but the S21 was a nightmare with the fingerprint reader so I had to keep it bare in the end. So, I'm going to try these and will report back ASAP.

Thanks, i just ordered the whitestone dome tempered glass, although in the past with my s10 I had it crack in my hose pocket . Most probably will order some other, based on other ppls experience as I expect it not to hold up too long

Thanks for the tip, if that one has no issues with the touch, fingerprint. And no ugly cutout for the fingerprint area then its a good candidate
I bought this.

Can't say I am overly happy with it though. I hate screen protectors with borders around the tempered glass, which wasn't mentioned in the description.
inwas looking at that one.also but you could see the black border in the pics and I'm am.guessingnit only has glue on the outer edge. I ordered the same.brand but the one that has the UV light.

Hello, You are not too satisfied because of the borders or the sensitivity of the fingerprint?

A bit of both. It also doesn't want to stay fully down for me. The edges have lifted but there is a second one in the box. The rear camera covers though are great.
I brought this one, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004031147265.html
I previously had one from Mocolo and their glass is silky smooth, you can definately feel the difference between other brands.
It also works fine with fingerprint sensor!
So, just to update this thread with my choice at the moment. I installed this whitestone dome glass, fingerprint works after readding my fingerprints(actually worked with the saved ones from the naked glass but slower/had to press firmly) and now it works better, but still noticebly slower than without the protector. Having face unlock with this also on, i find it a good tradeoff.
Tbh , on my s10+ had the same glass and on some vacation found it crack in my jeans , so lets see how long this will last. Probably i will buy some other cheaper brands mentioned here after this first glass cracks. They have a really cool and easy installation procedure, got a nice fit. The glass has some dots to ensure an even separation from the screen glass, so i guess the impact protection is better that way given the depth which allows the forces to dissipate inside the hardened glue.
BR and thank you for sharing your choices of glass protectors with fingerprint working!
I use Zeelot. Fp working good and it's tempered glass

23ultra is more flat... i wonder if the adapter will also fit to align the screen protector. For s22u is half price cheaper than for 23ultra and i already destroy one because of dust and second in almost perfect but still some dust on the edges. I like Samsung protector as feeling with finger is almost like original gorilla glass. And it is not easy peel off on the screen edges... But i can't find anyone who already try it.
Ok I have used AmFilm for years. No issues with it sticking and fingerprint sensor worked. This year with the s23 ultra they are using different glue that doesn't stick well. Screen starts coming off for me after less than 24rs. Good product in the past terrible product now. Unless they update the glue there product this year is garbage.
On a good note I just installed the IMBZBK. Sensor working great and glue seems to be stronger. Still too early to tell but will give you guys an update after a week or so.

I installed the Samsung one. It's plastic not glass. It's fine. Hardly notice it.
I had previously installed a glass one, but I prefer the Samsung one.

Problem with film protector is that it is not very smooth hence hindering playing game which require quick and precise swiping (rhythm game)

Actually so far the Samsung one feels great.
My Ringke lasted exactly one week before delaminating. I will install the spare but then probably move to something else.
I have a huge problems with ****y S23 ultra. I had tempered glass screen protector... I had huge problems to add fingerprints.... after a day noone worked... I have to set new recordings after every day....
I gave up and bought plastic screen protector.. everything working great.... after a day again no fingerprint can be read..... I hate this phone.... is there any other solution? On S20 there was an option to remove battery optimization on com.biometrics app....
Thank you
I had same problems with a glass protector - i had to press very hard to recognize my finger.
Now with matte folio i dont have a problem. Have you resetted your fingerprints after instaling the new protector?
Deceiving thread title. Even the cheapest screen protector works very well with Samsung's in-glass finger print sensor.
Please be so kind and change your screen protector with 10 dollar one, you'll be fine.
Don't create thread to everything.
Not all tempered glass is capable of FPS. Option is to use a Hydrogel screen protector or just buy the tempered glass with hole on the FPS portion which looks like sh*t.
There is also what they call a Dome Glass that can make FPS work, but the attachment uses some sort of a liquid glue. Just make sure to avail the one that doesn't stick like a super glue

Man, i have tried 4 different brands tempered glass, 2 of them was with thinner glass on the fingerpring area - all didnt work good or didnt worked at all. I had many phones before that, never had this problem.
I have used a cheap matte plastic screen protector on the S21U, S22U and now on the S23U with no problems whatsoever with enhanced touch sensitivity turned on.
I have the same problem. Fingerprint reader is s* on S23U. I've tried many different screen protectors and it still sucks. My previous phone was Huawei P30 Pro and the fingerprint scanner was amazing even with a $1 protector on it.
The moment they tried to install that ass looking protector with the hole in the shop I was thinking what's going on here and what's wrong with a fingerprint reader.
This sux. So I have to try different sceen protector.... that could be expensive
Which one do you suggest, that wors 100%?
Is there any option to have them install screen protector?
i use samsung screen protector and i do not have any issue with biometrics... I don't even use enhanced sensitivity. Om my local forum everyone that use Whitestone Dome Glass have no issue with biometrics too, they put it exactly like in instruction using this metal weight during mounting. Some ppl that experiment with other brands have issue here and there.
I have use the Spigen Neo_flex and works great only issue is that like to smudge with fingerprints easy, and the I have the offical one on the S22 ultra and work great too, I have official one coming for my S23 ultra, for me the FPS works no better or worse than my S22 ultra.
Have you tried recording multiple copies of your fingerprints, in my experience, this vastly improves recognition?
1st, no screen protector the finger print reader is not the best... Cool tech tho, but not perfect yet.
I went to a cellphone shop, and the guy told me not only glassprotector will limit the reliability, but this reliability will change overtime.
- He proposed to me a film of gel protector, which I did use for few weeks, and indeed , it was like no protector at all. +/- 90% success rate.
- Then tried Axessorize Amor gLass, the matte spot bother me. around 50% success rate on multiple register same figer trick.
- Then tried those UV glass Ni-shen. Depite the fact those glass dont stick and do bubble, I have around 70-75% success rate with again same finger registered many time.

Maybe you have defect one, I never had issue with the FPS on my 22ultra or the 23 Ultra, I know people complain of it, but if your thumb is really dry that effects it, and its ultrasonic, not optical like lot of the other phones that have the in-display finger print reader, I like the samsung better since when I`m on the lake with my seadoo and in the water and my hands are pretty wet it still works, the optical ones won`t work unless you dry your thumb.

Doubt, I had 2x S23, was the same.
My hand are all over the place. Calm and no coffee = dry.
Sport or coffee or both = sweaty.
Most reviewers state the same. And this is partially because 4-5 years ago, we were use to ceramic one.
Those are way faster, and 99% success rate.
100% sure this is because people comparing 2 different technologies, and expect the same result. Under screen reading, is somewhat recent, and has a hader challenge to read between pixels a small print that never get positioned the same way each time

I use a Whitestone Dome Glass screen protector myself (been using them ever since they came out).
It works fine with fingerprints.
With all screen protectors one needs to increase touch sensitivity in Settings-->Display-->Touch sensitivity.
Yes, Dome Glass uses a UV-activated liquid glue. It comes with a jig to assist in placing the protector on the screen and a UV lamp to cure the glue. For me, the installation jig makes the procedure smooth and flawless every time - no bubbles and perfect placement of the protector. I would not use any other protector than the Dome Glass one.
I used to use the AmFilm but there glue is crap this year. The best for me now is the IMBZBK tempered glass UV glue installation. My fingerprint sensor with glass on works as good as with screen protector off. 95 percent success rate with glass on. Follow the instructions and you should have a perfect installation with this glass.

I have the exact same bad experience with FPS with tempered glass screen protector on, sometimes it works perfectly but other times it doesn't work at all, it's so frustrating...
I had Huawei P30 Pro and the FPS worked flawless everytime with any screen protector I've used.
Or y'all could save yourself some trouble and stop using sh***y screen protectors in the first place and you wouldn't have these problems.

I tried that one and finished in the garbage, bad quality product, is a screen protector that covers the front cam degrading the picture quality. Screen protectors should not cover the cam. Even from that brand I tried the camera lens protectors and after a while I saw slight scratches on it, now I have another brand that works fine.
The only way to not having issues with the FP is having a TPU screen protector and that's it, I have one and I have a rate of 80%-90% aprox and I will live with it.
Another very important point is this FP reader doesnt work at best with very dry skin, put your finger in your mouth, blow your humid breath and it will work better. I do this sometimes with other FP readers like when I enter in my house.
That is not true. If you install the glass correctly you won't have any issues with camera or fingerprint sensor. My accuracy is in the high 90s with the glass on. In all honesty don't feel any difference between glass and no glass.
