Fingerprint Sensor Disappointing

[neil74]

Great video! Thanks for sharing . I was already using 2 out of the 3 tricks. Didn't know about 2 thumbs on one print. Works like a charm. The next firmware update is supposed to improve the fingerprint even more.

I just tried the battery optmisation trick, big difference. Thanks

Just got new update and can confirm fps is much faster. Good stuff.

I've found the S20+ to have a fussy and generally problematic FPS. Recently, it isn't working at all. I have removed the fingerprints and tried to add back, but can only get to ~86% recognition before it says I need to cover the whole sensor or press harder. This is without a screen protector and smashing my finger to the sensor. My other registered fingerprints aren't being recognized either. I had far fewer issues with the back positioned FPS on previous versions. Extremely disappointing, especially when institutional policy requires enhanced security protocols.

After reading this thread, I've just noticed that the finger print sensor works better on my S20 when the screen is off then it does from the lockscreen.

Totally agree with this statement.

There is some good information in this thread. The Samsung A21 has finger print sensor on the back. For me, I don't think an on/in screen one would work very well. Too awkward to have to reposition the device. Maybe if a device had an in/on screen sensor and one also on the back would be most ideal, but then that's just extra cost.
