Having Issues With Your Fingerprint Sensor? Try this...

[strikeIII]

I posted this in another thread but for better visibility I wanted to make it a separate post to get better feedback if it will work for others as it has for me.

First, delete all your current fingerprints.
Second, when scanning a fingerprint alternate between both of your thumbs in different positions.

That's it. If you want to add your pointer finger do the same alternating between both fingers as you're scanning.

I find this method a lot better than scanning your thumb twice as two separate fingerprints.

Hope this helps.

This was discussed at length in the other thread.

There was a video from YouTuber 'Jimmy is promo' and someone posted this in the other thread you mentioned, and we had lengthy discussion about this specific method in that thread few days back. I'm pretty sure mods are going to move this back to that thread, just FYI

But it gets buried so quickly in threads that some people while are experiencing issues don't see this method to try.

There are at least a dozen"solutions" in that thread. We don't need a new "try this" thread everytime someone rediscovers some technique.

Well if the mods want to delete it they'll delete it then.

I haven't found any improvement with this method. I think it's better suited to allow for more fingers being registered than speed or accuracy.

Yeah speed is definitely not as fast as physical FPS or whatever they call it. Lol.n I'm sure they'll improve over time since this is first gen tech. But it has helped the accuracy for me. I don't have nearly as many missed fingerprint reads.

I meant speed improvement for this particular method as opposed to one finger per location.

I carefully registered my prints with all different angles in one location for each finger. I used two locations for my primary thumb for the sake of having more samples. I still say that's the best approach.
Putting two fingers in one location can't improve accuracy. Just allows it to go through less scans for more fingers. Using two different thumbs as an example, it gives each thumb a chance at getting a read running through the first print location.

Trust me I tried to wrap logic around it as to why it's better for me and how it really shouldn't be better but it does and I'm just running with it. Lol

That's OK, but consider you may have just gotten better at recording your prints.
