OK, let's just be honest here ? skin color.

How's it working for everyone? For my pasty self, it's not bad. But I am but one white dude, ya know?
 
Great, now in addition to people complaining about plastic and rounded corners, are we really ready to start a "Samsung is racist" thread?
 
Is that why is it only works sometimes with my black skin ? J/k it works fine . i just got tired of using it . lol

Heh. Yeah. Figured we should check. I seriously doubt it wasn't tested with numerous skin tones, ya know? :)

When i first tried it i had problems with it, but it was because i wanted to press my finger to the screen instead of sliding . Other than that it worked .
 
I've tried it and it works for me but not for any of my Egyptian friends so who knows

Actually, I asked because someone who was in a position to see a bunch of folks trying the fingerprint scanner asked if we'd look into it. So, I asked you guys.

If you think anyone's being racist here, well, you're wrong and are just looking for problems. :p
