With fingerprint screen unlock turned on, is there a way to not turn on the screen whenever a fingerprint is rejected ? When i am holding and moving the phone about and the fingerprint sensor touches any part of my skin, (palm, thigh..etc...), the screen will turn on. So it's turning on lots of time when i didn't intend for it to. Anyone ?
I've read about other people having this same issue. It hasn't happened to me though. The fingerprint scanner only recognizes my fingerprints, not my palm nor other parts of my body.
It shouldn't turn on by default ... If it rejects the finger it should only vibrate to let you know that it detected something, but screen should stay off.
Which ROM are you using?

Stock, rooted. Touching the fingerprint sensor with knuckle, palm..etc.. wakes the screen, no vibration. Placing unrecognized fingerprint vibrates and wakes the screen. Any input on this ?
Complete stock. 3.2.6. No root. Fingerprint rejection only causes vibration for me, no screen on.
I am on stock 3.2.6 too. Upon further investigation, If i leave my finger print on long enough, it rejects with vibration without turning on the screen.
Here's a video link demonstrating the problem, appreciate if anyone has any suggestion on how to fix this.

Weird ... definitely not standard behavior.
I'd try clean flashing the system.

Does anyone know how to disable the sensor that turns off/on the lcd when you put the phone to your face?
This is a HUGE problem when I AM ON A CALL using bluetooth headset and the phone is in my pocket or belt case and the stupid sensor would randomly turn the screen on and then random keys would be pressed during call or apps launched.
I have s2u2 slide lock but it doesnt lock phone while in call, please help. THank s.
Not a fix, but, TouchLock Pro locks it when that sensor blanks the screen.

where can i get that? thx!!
I've been having a really strange and annoying issue with my 5X since the latest OTA. Every few hours or so, I have issues unlocking the screen on my device. I'll place my finger on the sensor and it'll vibrate as if the print was accepted, but the screen won't turn on. Or I'll press the power button and the lockscreen will come up, but when I type in my code or use the sensor, the screen turns right off again. Another example is when I use my flip cover, sometimes the screen won't go off after closing it and it won't come on when opening it.
The only way for me to fix it is to reboot the device which can be really annoying as it happens pretty often.
I'm on a stock unrooted/locked/encrypted MHC19J 5x
Has anyone else been having a similar problem? Any ideas on fixing it?

Have you tried a factory reset?
Do you have any apps that control the screen in any way?
I'm having the same issue on my wife's 5x. Stock, not rooted, unlocked bootloader.
I flashed the latest MHC19J factory image, including userdata, factory reset. The phone seems OK but after less than a day the issue reappears.
Hello, are you using a screen glass tempered because they're some problem with the proximity sensor, in my case this was happening during a call. The change of protection to resolve my problem
Indeed, the phone has a tempered glass screen protector. It also has a Nexus 5x Folio cover and it seems that the issue disappears when not using it. I would blame the magnetic sensor.
Is anyone else having issues recently with their pixel 2XL being able to detect their face against it on a call.
Sometimes I'll be on a call and feel my phone vibrate and when I peek at the screen, I can see the screen is on and it's on a random page like my alarm settings, because my cheek pushed against a button on the home screen for example.
Also, when pulling the unit away from my face sometimes the unit doesn't light back up and i have to push the physical on button to get it to turn on.
Or even worse this week, I've noticed that after my phone doesn't light back up when I pull it away from my face and I try to turn it back on with the on button, it doesn't work... the screen never turns back on, I have to double push the button to get the camera to pop up and then dismiss it to get back to the home screen.
It's getting pretty frustrating. Has anyone had this issue? Anything I can look into to fix this?
I`ve been having this random issues with the proximity sensor and my phone not able to charge with the stock charger.
The proximity sensor is right by the ear piece so if you have your ear touching first it should, in theory, turn off the screen before your cheek touches the screen. Personally, I don't have my cheek touching at all while on a call but I have a slim face.

Download a sensor test app and check for proximity sensor. I had a similar issue some time back. Reboot fixed it for me.
Hi,
As the title says, I'm experiencing some problems related to the fingerprint sensor, specially when I try to wake the device as I have to put my finger in the sensor twice because the phone doesn't recognize my fingerprint at the first try, it just vibrates, but the second time I put my finger it wakes up the phone with no problem. It feels like the sensor puts itself in deep sleep mode as it happens like 15 seconds after I turn off the screen.
The fingerprint sensor works fine when the screen is on, as I can unlock protected apps at the first try. But some apps that include their own fingerprint authorization like Paypal or my bank account app shows me an "error" as soon as they ask me for the fingerprint, like the fingerprint sensor is already in use (not sure how to explain it), but they work as soon as I put my finger on it.
Pressing the sensor for a little longer wakes the device at the first try, but I'm pretty sure that's not the normal behaviour.
Disabling the pocket mode doesn't help either.
As the title says, this only happens on every MIUI rom Iv'e tried, like Xiaomi.eu, Mi-global or Revolution OS, always made a clean flash. I've tried Havoc-OS and Pixelexperience and the fingerprint worked flawlessly, not a single problem with those roms and that's what makes me think that it's a software related problem. In fact, I'm currently using Havoc 3.0 and the fingerprint sensor is working great.
I've also tried to flash persist.img from the chinese official rom without success. And needless to say that I've cleaned the fingerprint sensor several times.
I know it's not a big deal of a problem, but it's driving me crazy. So any help would be appreciated as I really want to use MIUI instead of any other custom rom.
TL;DR: I have to use the fingerprint sensor twice to wake my device and feels like the fingerprint sensor puts itself on deep sleep mode or that it's already in use somehow. But it only happens on MIUI roms.
I've had my phone for over a year now. Never had issues with anything.
Recently when I tried to unlock the screen with my finger it didn't recognise it. It was vibrating but saying that fingerprint is not recognised. I thought the screen is dirty so I wiped it - didn't work. Then I thought I have cuts on my finger so I tried to add new fingers but it doesn't work... Fingerprint sensor lights up but it's not vibrating and not scanning my finger.
I've tried resetting my phone and still couldn't register fingerprint. I've reset it again and it worked! But only for 2 days... Now again the fingerprint sensor doesn't work.
I'm on LE2123_11_F.75
Has anyone experienced something similar? Just wondering whether it is software or hardware issue?
Depending on where you bought your phone, it usually comes with a warranty 2 or 3 years.
