Whitestone Dome another failure

[RapidTurtle]

Should I peel this off and try again?
Had this same problem in the past on the Note 20 Ultra and the second one did the same thing.

God, I hate these protectors. Wonder if the AmFilm one is any better?

I use AM film with no problems

Seems this has helped some. I still have it on occasion where it just refuses to pick up my finger especially in the dark.

Strange

I don't see any difference with touch sensitivity on vs off, either with fingerprint or screen touch in general. Lighting high or low is no different. My S22 with the WSD is perfect to touch, swipe, etc. either way, it is only the fingerprint reader that is finicky. At this point I don't believe putting on the WSD adversely impacted either screen touch or fingerprint. The fingerprint sensor reliability was sketchy sometimes before WSD also. The only thing that impacts is moistening the finger a bit. Then fingerprint recognition is perfect first time every time with just a light touch. Otherwise with dry fingers, I get often get the messages: "Cover the entire" reader or "Press Harder".

I was thinking that maybe when I input the fingerprints, my hands were more moist so when they were dry later the ID would not work. So I redid the fingerprints making sure that fingers were bone dry for input and still the same. For me, I think it is an issue with the fingerprint sensor itself, not the WSD.

Yeah....ultrasonic doesn't like dry fingerprints regardless of how they were input. Too many air gaps with dry prints make it hard for the ultrasonic to read correctly

I have discovered that moistening my thumb with, you know what, is not the only thing that works. I work outside with my hands and have noticed that if I have recently put on hand cream in my ongoing attempts to prevent painful fingertip cracks, the FP sensor works great. So I think this is the key on my phone at least... It is not the screen protector, a defect in the hardware, or a problem with registering or technique. It is simply that I tend to have dry fingers.

I've been using the Whitestone dome screen protectors since my S10+ and I've never had any bother until now. The last 2 screen protectors I've applied have left a line down the left hand side of the screen and box like shape in the middle of the screen. It's infuriating to look at. I've carried out the steps as required, could do it with my eyes shut now but I'm just so frustrated now. Anyone else have a solution? I haven't done anything differently than previous times x
