Hello,
Has anyone else come across the following with the P20 Pro (mine is a CLT-L09 on firmware 8.1.0.131(C782) - but the issue has occurred on all firmware versions I've had to date).
Occasionally when I unlock the handset via the fingerprint sensor, the camera launches rather than the handset just going to the home screen.
Currently I have the face unlock, lift to wake and the fingerprint unlock turned on. However, I have tried turning off the face unlock and the lift to wake - but the same thing still happens.
I'd say it probably happens about once in every ten unlocks.
I don't know whether I'm accidentally pressing something which is causing it - the camera icon is in the bottom right corner, so I'm not catching that as I unlock with the fingerprint sensor.
Any ideas please?
(I moved from a P10 Plus and never had this issue with that handset).
Thanks in advance.
I noticed that I can unlock the redmi k20 pro while the display is off. if I hit the fingerprint spot, the screen glows green on the corresponding area and it unlocks. (really conviniend)
Is this a 7th gen sensor feature, or do more phones have it? Or is it simply software?
A friends op 6t needs the display to be on for the fingerprint sensor to start checking, so I got curious.
Edit:
I mean under display fingerprints.
On pocof1 fingerprint reader was also always on , on my k20pro it also always on. when i had lineage installed on poco then you had to wake the screen to unlock so i think it software thing to have it always running in background

Yeah, normal capacitive fingerprints should always work while the display is off, I was wondering about under display ones.
Also i saw option to enable like aod but with fingerprint reader that it always shows on locked screen
Hi guys,
my girlfriend's got a p30 pro (android 10).
She uses the unlock feature with face recognition.
Once the face gets recognized by the phone, the screen unlocks completely.
On my note 8 (android 9) I use the same feature, but once the face gets recognized, I have to sweep over the screen to unlock the phone.
I don't loke that!
So my question is, is it possible to use the same lock screen on my phone?
Where can I find the apk file?
If not, which lock screen works similar to the p30 pro lock screen?
Thanks!

Samsung should have a option like the P30 pro. Look under facial recognition

Couldn't put this in dev so I put it here.
On the Note 8, the iris scanner tech is composed of the iris scanner itself, and a IR Sensor to detect the iris scan. I wondering if the IR sensor could be used instead to process someone's entire face instead of the iris without root, as you cannot root the Note 8 Snapdragon model. Like on the Poco F1, it uses an IR sensor for face unlock.
Hi together,
I`m comming from a pixel 4 xl and a Samsung galaxy s10.
The fingerprint Scanner is pretty slow compared to the s10 one.
I know how fast a optical scanner can be regarding a Oneplus Phone and it's not as sensetive to a glas screen protector as the sonic one.
So the s20 Fe s fingerprint sensor has the Potential.
Unforatunately it's slow and inaccurate. Is this only me having this feeling? Compared to the s10s sensor its super slow and you have to have your Finger on the screen way longer. Also it's more unreliable.
S10 8/10 tries.
S20 fe 6/10 tries.
Overall im pretty disappointed.
I came from the Pixel 4 xl due to annoying masks not working with face unlock.
But the fingerprint Scanner of this Phone is giving me a hard time to.
I am coming from the LG G6 with the fingerprint sensor in the power button on the rear. I really prefer that setup because you can use it by feel, and it was really quick (could have my phone unlocked before having it out of my pocket, if I wanted). But I find the S20 FE just fine. A tad slower and more finicky with placement, but fast enough and I hardly ever have failures. My main complaint is that you have to be quick to remove your finger after it unlocks, else you could activate the screen at the location of the fingerprint. For this reason I only have 4 icons in the bottom area of my screen instead of 5, and nothing in the row above that.
The only other in-screen fingerprint sensor I've used was the TCL 10 pro, which I found much worse than the FE.
Also, I registered my fingerprints initially with the plastic shipping protector on, and did not re-do them after applying a glass protector. So it has been pretty much fuss-free.
Once I removed the factory-installed plastic screen protector my success rate jumped from 6/10 to about 9/10. Might be placebo though.
In Display, enable Increase Touch Sensitivity
You probably have a problem with your phone. I had S10 until I bought S20 FE 5G (I gave S10 to my son). The fingerprint sensor is ok and faster than the ultrasonic one on the S10. I specify that it is valid for glass protection. On the S10 I had 'whitestone dome glass' and on the S20 I had Spigen glass. What worries me about the optical sensor is the security because I often use it for online payments.
I found the fingerprint unlock really slow until today. I changed screen refresh rate to 120Hz and as a result it feels a lot faster when unlocking. Maybe it also more reliable, because it didnt need that much time to unlock, where i can move the finger.
You can make fingerprint scanner faster by changing some options:
1.change refresh rate to 120hz
2.in developer options change animation settings (all 3 settings to 0.5)
3.go to biometrics and security-biometrics preferences-disable
4.advanced features-reduce animations-enable
5.and last thing to do go apps settings-click on 3 dots on top of the corner-special access-optimise battery usage-change to all tab-search for com.samsung.android.biometrics.app.setting-disable optimisation
Now you can unlock your screen with just tapping on fingerprint area (dont need to hold)
Also adding the same fingerprint twice will improve the possibility of success unlocks.
Works perfectly with full screen protector.

Thanks. Disabling biometrics optimizer made it super fast now

Make it even faster by going into fingerprint settings and disable " show animation on unlock"
Lifehack regarding to how to make fingerprint sensor faster:
1. Remove all fingerprints
2. Set 60 Hz display refresh rate
3. Add fingerprints
4. Set back 120 Hz display refresh rate
Now sensor works much faster. At least for me.
Hi together,
I switchted Form s20 Fe 5g to s21. The trueth ist, that the Fingerprint Scanner of the s21 is was better.
There is no comparison... It is more reliable, faster, needs less time rest the finger on the screen and the area to scan is way bigger.
There is no going back, after you once uses the s21s fingerprint scanner.
