Iris scanner or finger print. Which do you use?

[itsnotmeitsyou]

I saw a you tube video just before release and the guy didn't have to swipe the screen. He touched the home button and the iris scanner came up and worked. Anybody know how to do this?

I don't know for sure, but I'd assume that this would work if you disabled the fingerprint unlock.

Right now using pin. As much as I want to use Iris scanner wearing glasses makes it challenging. Finger print will work best for me

If you live alone, I say roll with fingerprint to unlock your phone. I recommend the iris scan if you have a roommate or girlfriend / boyfriend that might gently place your finger on your phone to unlock it while you are asleep. #peoplebecrazy.

I absolutely love the iris scanner. Went to a concert last night and it worked like a charm even at night. Was awesome.

If my gf did that I'd be single the next day. Bigger issues at play if you were worried about that.

lol, also if you have something to hide from your significant other you probably shouldn't be together anyways.

Both

Primary: Fingerprint
Secondary: Iris

The FPS on my particular Note is extremely fast. Just press the home button to wake the phone and it already unlocks. As such, it has become my primary unlock method. However, I've also registered my iris, for use when I can't use my fingerprint and for the Secure Folder.

It actually works surprisingly well, though it's not perfect as in my experience, too much light can confuse the scanner. Eager to see how this tech can improve in the future.

Think I will use iris quite a lot to start...

Mostly fingerprint but the iris scanner is fun. When I first set it up I was outside and it was very sunny. When i went indoors it wouldn't read me. I erased and redid it inside and it works great now. Not something I'll use a lot perhaps, but a neat gimmick to show people if nothing else.

I've used both Iris and Fingerprint in rhe short time I've had the Note 7.

The Iris was used mostly as entertainment the other night at a lounge where everyone was asking me about my new phone and wanted to see how the iris scanner worked.

For every day practical use it's been the fingerprint scanner.

I don't like where I need to swipe on the phone , then aim when I can just easily swipe then place my fingertip to unlock !?!?

I'll keep both and use accordingly

I just use both.

Both iris scanner is great if you use always on display and double tap a notification to go straight to it. The iris scanner is fast and reliable for me. I don't even really have to position the phone like I thought I would.

I set up iris for this specific reason! Works pretty well so far.

It works perfectly fine with glasses

 

[dpham00]

I have iris, fps, and trusted device set up with my s2. I will usually use fps, or just double tap the notification on the aod

Iris scanner. Rarely ever have the chance to see my eyes.

Thats true, but we hear all the time about people doing whatever to get into other people's phones. Just thought I would throw it out there.... the iris scanner would put an end to any of that.

Quick question: is Good Lock compatible with the iris scanner?

For some reason as soon as I launched Good Lock, the iris scanner is no longer an option on my lock screen. If i swipe down theres just the pin number option.

Maybe Good Lock needs an software update to be compatible?

Guess i'm in the small minority who uses the iris scanner over the fingerprint scanner. I just find it less annoying than, every time I need to log in, reaching my thumb down to press the button. I've started using my s pen to navigate everything, including that sliding action that you need when you first open your phone. It seems like unnecessary fumbling to use the pin to slide, then have to adjust it in your hand so that you can pull out your thumb to use the fingerprint scanner. And it seems to me The iris scanner workst just as fast as the fingerprint scanner.
