Is the fingerprint sensor work well with you ?

Hi guys and first of all, sorry for my english )) Gonna try to do my best !
Well, i have the Mi 5s since 1 week and it works very well except for one thing : the fingerprint sensor...
I put my both thumbs and forefinger in the security setting (and i recorded two times my left thumb) and even with 2 records, it doesn't work very well (and with the other finger, it's completely crappy, sometimes i can try 10 times in a row but it doesn't work).
I'm the only one with this problem ? Do you know a way to fix it ?
Thanks in advance
EDIT : Working* in the title, one mistake again

Unlock speed is pretty decent. But doesn't work as well as I like. Sometimes the sensor just refuse to work no matter how many times I try and I have to manually unlock it

Mi5s Plus is faster than Mi5s

same problem... It worked fine on stock rom but its been hit and miss ever since installing EU rom

Same problem here .. checked with different persons. The recognition rate is not good. I'm using a gearbest version.

schiff, do you use original rom or custom (international)?

Seen a lot of reviews mentioning the sensor doesn't work 100%.

Well I think it's very important how you read in your fingerprints. Because at the beginning it didn't work well too and the false rate was very high.
But then I calmly added the fingerprint again and now it works in 9/10 times. (I also used the trick to add the same finger 2 times).
What bothers me more is that the sensor sometimes seems to need time, if you want to unlock directly after you just closed the display or it failed once to recognize.
Btw I'm on official rom.

I am using V8.0.10.0.MAGCNDH (MIUI8) but this version is international with German I'm not sure if this is official or a custom gearbest version. But at least it's the same version number like the official at mi download.
My next step is to check with adding same finger a second time.

I think I read somewhere that the problem isn't the hardware but the software so we could expect a patch that will improve the performance of the fingerprint scanner dramatically in the future

If it has a different language than either Chinese or English, it's a custom rom and not the official rom. That means it could use a bad driver for the finger print sensor (so far only people with custom roms complain about precision).

Received mine today and played around a bit with the reader. So far it's working really great and unlocks very fast. I have official rom installed.

I have thé same problem. Before i have mi5 and now mi5s le fingerprint not work like mi5. I'm on xiaomi.eu ROM.
I hope on next weekly the problem are fix.

For me it unlocks reliably and is very fast, but nearly every time the lockscreen flashes up just before it unlocks. Pretty annoying. Also if i hold my finger on for just slightly too long it registers that as a press of the home button and closes whatever app I had open. I'm on the xiaomi.eu rom so it could just be that, hard to say.

My opinion is that the sensor registers a small portion of the finger and you will have to do some tests to see how you usually hold the phone when unlock to see what portion of finger use in general.
After several attempts I managed to get a set of fingerprints that unlock the phone 9/10.
Also some times the sensor refuse to work, and I am forced to use the password , but I cant find any related problem that cause this behavior .
Compared to the sensor from my wife Redmi 3S its worse

You need to enter the password if the phone reboots typically. Also I suggest to learn the finger twice, that can also help a lot for unlock. Learn it like you hold it for typical unlock.

This is a problem with recording fingerprints
Do not force the fingerprint sensor to record fingerprints
Recording pressure fingerprints can cause fingerprint distortion and not out
When you record a fingerprint, try to place it on the fingerprint sensor as lightly as possible
Use your thumbs to record fingerprints from multiple angles
Record a big thumb twice
Touch to light only when unlocked
A little bit of pressure on the fingerprint sensor will unlock
I use GOOGLE translation to Chinese into English
I hope to help you

Initially I recorded my fingers with light pressure, but it was working unreliably maybe because glass feels very slippery so you cant keep your finger still on same spot. Maybe. Then I repeated the procedure with a normal/moderate press - not hard, but enough so that my finger covers much of the sensor. Now it's whole lot more reliable. In the odd times when it does fail (usually my fault for placing my finger oddly on the sensor) I just lift the finger and press again and voila I'm in.
After the initial fail I felt this fingerprint thing is more or less of a gimmick that's unreliable enough to not use it. But after rerecording I'm now very pleased as it's now as if my phone isn't locked. It's just fast and reliable.
I did notice that the first time after a reboot you have to enter your pass/pin/pattern and will start using fingers afterwards.

I purchased the phone from gearbest who flashed an unofficial rom. The fingerprint doesn't work as expected, locking and suddenly unlocking the phone. After flashing the xiaomi.eu rom, bang! problem solved.
In my experience if you fingerprint works badly it's a software problem

finger print after new update recieved today

The fingerprint scanner after update is significantly fast and accurate
You just have to give a good touch to screen and it will unlock
The fact that we are getting update for our devices makes the consumer really confident with the product
The camera should get better soon as well
If u guys see lock screen for fraction of seconds just try clearing up recent app tray for instant fix or just use ur phone normally this bug will disappear
And if it still doesnt work just setup wallpaper again.
This bug appears when u manually try to bring up lock screen by power button or by constant tap on fingerprint scanner
Just clear the recent app tray
The update really is remarkable.
Very happy

Maybe a dirty fix but do you have both Face unlock and FP unlock enabled? If yes, I recommend deleting all previous FPs, remove face unlock (delete the registered face), then add the fingerprints again. I did the same and FP unlock feels much faster (even with a tempered glass screen protector). All the best!

Hmm.
No Face recognition. Just FP...
Will try to clean system.
Tnx

The catch is that this is unstable: I mean 3 times in the row FP works fine and next few times total disaster

Tap to wake not working?

I understand that this was an issue on the 7, but this morning I woke up and my 7T wouldn't (when I tapped it). Anybody else having this issue, or have any suggestions on how to fix it?

I am also having this issue after the screen has been off for a while. Anyone have a solution?

I also have this issue, noticed it seems to be something to do with the ambient light sensor? If I cover it up double tap or tap to wake won't work ( like it's in pocket mode).
Pocket mode is no longer an option so it's like it's built in now?
But yea for me it seems like it works fine in the day, but soon as night comes along and I'm in dimmer environments it becomes flakey

Hey guys,
same for me since today. Until some hours ago all was working fine.
But why you think it's related to dimmer/light. Because for me there is no difference when I turn on the light in room or change the timezone in settings. For now it's just not working (like broken)
I rebooted (also turned off and on) several times, turned off and on the inactivity display settings and some other tests, but nothing helped.

A through clean up resolves the problem for my phone
i am facing the same issue with my phone. sadly i have noticed it is a reoccurring problem and it has something to do with the sensors. i tried all the fixes like toggling tap to wake, toggling face unlock assists light, clearing the cache and app data but nothing helped my case. factory reset is of no help either so i'd say don't even bother with that.
what really helped me fix this issue multiple times was something rather unexpected. what you should do is take off your phone's cover, get a wet towel, and thoroughly clean the phone all around, being especially thorough around the front facing camera and the top two edges. I give it extra attention around the front side being careful of the top speaker and after a couple of cleans and wipes both tap to wake and lift to wake starts working perfectly fine. then i put on the cover and voila it all good. Give it a try and let me know if it helped resolve this issue for you.

Hey!
The (single) tap to wake funktion will show up the ambient display, so that u can see clock, messages and use the fingerprintsensor if u want to enter.
It's a quick awake of screen to see Infos with minimal usage of display resources.
DT2W (double tab to wake) is the same as pressing the power button. So this will fully turn on screen into the lockscreen and also activate the face recognition. (for sure fingerprintsensor can be used, too)
BUT you can only activate one of those things and it will automatically turn off for example tab to wake if you activate DT2W.
Personally I like to use the single tab awake for ambient display, as I always can full activate by power button, which would be a dublicate function then.

Fingerprint scanner not working

For me choosing pro mode on camera will crash the app.
If the screen is off i can't unlock with FoD unless if I hit the power button to open the screen then use the FoD.
In settings i have on top a suggestion that won't leave for any reason.

Tried it,it doesn't work....

Am I the only one who is experiencing absolutely zero bugs? Everything works perfectly here for me.
Reverted to stock using miflash and just updated to 10 with no troubles or bugs found. Slight increase in battery usage but still perfect

Question Screen Replacement and Fingerprint Sensor Gone

I have just replaced my screen as my other developed a random crack in it... No I didn't drop it and it wasn't huge but I'm anal and ocd so I bought a replacement.
The replacement seemed to go well although I did get some of the factory glue on the sensor. I carefully cleaned it with microfiber and isopropyl alcohol. It looked good. Attached it to my new screen and connected the cable.
It seemed fine. Before glueing my new display down I tested it and the display worked but it didn't even see my fingerprint sensor. Reseated it multiple times and I've had no luck.
The fingerprint calibration won't work and it reports my version is too new. I'm tempted to factory reset but I don't know if it will work and I don't want to if I can help it. Any thoughts? It just doesn't see it at all.

Yes, this is a known issue. And it happened to me as well in February. My phone slipped off my desk and caused a big crack at the top corner, and me being anal like you, I took it to the local authorized screen repair. I didn't research beforehand, and learned that replacing the screen breaks the fingerprint sensor. The fingerprint calibration software doesn't seem to work for most people. What I learned is that it's a software issue and could be fixed with a software update. I haven't seen any update since then as there is still no fix.
I look forward to any others' feedback or knowledge because with no Face ID and no fingerprint unlock it gets annoying unlocking via PIN all the time.

I hoped for the best with it. I guess it's better than having a cracked screen but even this triggers me. Did you try a factory reset?

Have you tried installing a custom ROM? I'm currently using Spark OS and it has Face-ID enabled. I ran into the same problem but since I got face id I even forgot my phone had a fingerprint sensor haha

I know it's a little late but when something like this happens, its best to contact Google. There have been many reports of people getting replacements for small cracks or screens that won't turn on.
As for your issue - this is a known problem with the calibration tool. Some users have stated it takes 20 tries (on a windows system) in order to get it to work. A few also stated that they re-flashed Android with the web flash tool, and it worked after that.
Your last option would be to contact Google Support and see if they can provide any fix for the calibration tool.
There are a lot of users who are experiencing this issue on Google's Issue Tracker. Hopefully we'll see an update soon enough.

There wasn't really any point for me to reach out to them because I don't have insurance and it's outside of the warranty period. They'd want me to send it in for repair which is not an option because I can't be without my phone due to work. It was a crack in the screen so there wasn't any way for them to fix remotely.
Perhaps I can try the android flash tool. Just didn't want to do a factory reset.

I might look into the custom rom. I heard about a rom having face ID, so I may head that direction

You can do it without a custom ROM. It's an Xposed module. I'm not running it and it's much better than fingerprint. I don't even care anymore about my fingerprint reader.

Awesome! I shall try this out! Thanks!

Hi all! I wanted to come back to this thread and report that I installed this module yesterday and it is fantastic! After installing the June build and I installed Lsposed then the Universal Face Unlock module and it's much better than a fast fingerprint unlock! Totally worth trying out!
Wanted to share in case this helps anyone with a replaced screen or anyone who wants to try another option to FP unlock

Something similar happened to me. The solution was to use the fingerprint calibration tool and instantly reboot the phone. Not sure if it will work, but worth a shot.

I tried that solution but it didn't work for me. It was reported to have minimal success rate. This face unlock module has been great so far for me!

I hoped for the best with it. I guess it's better than having a cracked screen but even this triggers me. Did you try a factory reset?

I did a factory reset which didn't resolve the fingerprint detection issue after my screen replacement last week. It did resolve the "newer version" message but resetting took me back to Android 12 as I was on 12 quarterly.
The calibration tool will not download and errors out. As @roirraW "edor" ehT mentioned, there is a defect opened in bug tracker since February but no status on ETA. A user reported success downloading the calibration tool when using a Chromebook. For me, download failed on both Mac and Windows.

Since my phone was still under warranty I went into a ubreakifix and after several trips, because my spectral sensor was bad too, I now have a fully repaired phone. Everything is working great on it now. Nice to have the fingerprint sensor back but I'm still using the face unlock mod except for with banking apps and gpay.
Ubreakifix let me know that you can't successfully move your old fingerprint to a new display as it won't pair. They had to replace using a kit with the display and a new fingerprint sensor included.

Thank you!
Interesting that ubreakifix said that you can't "move" a fingerprint to a new screen. Maybe that is what they did for you since you didn't factor reset? Honestly, I don't understand much of this but I performed a full factory reset so, for me, this isn't about moving a fingerprint. What do I know though!
The screen installed on my phone has a fingerprint reader and came from the screen supplier. I have read that others successfully installed and calibrated their screens if they got the calibration tool to download. I am hoping I can do the same once Google fixes the issue with the calibration tool download. I will also borrow a Chromebook from work and give it a try on there in the interim.
Thanks again for the insight! I appreciate your response.

I think that the calibration tool only work if the fingerprint setting still available and when the enrollment fail.
If the fingerprint setting is gone seems like the sensor is damaged or not connected correctly.
I have same problem after replacing my screen,the fingerprint print setting has gone.
