Hello. I have this phone Mi 11 Lite 4g version. After i did software update to MIUI 13.0.7 Global Stable, fingerprint option gone in settings, and sometimes i have to click power button twice to turn off the screen. Any here have similar issues?
I have the same problem. After a while it showed up randomly in settings. So it rarely works. I hope it will be fixed with the next update. MIUI 13.0.7
This is a hardware problem. You should repair it in a workshop.
I had the same exact problem, turns out to be a hardware problem. As it was under warranty, I send it back and it was repaired. Good luck!
Same problem with me too, fingerprint sensor replaced by Xiaomi.
This is weird. I once woke up on a non-working fingerprint sensor. Although the option was still available in phone settings (I had 2 registered fingerprints), I couldn't register any new fingerprint.
That was like a nightmare to me, later on, I discovered it was caused by the missing property line:
Code:
ro.vendor.extension_library=libqti-perfd-client.so
Adding that line and rebooting fixed my situation.

You may need to do a factory reset so I'd back everything up before trying that though
Thanks for look at the post.

Did you factory reset through the back up and reset settings as that's what worked for me
Same here, after update to 8.1.

Same happened with me, i was in train on my phone and unlocked it with my fingerprint successfully then i came home nothing happened i didn't drop my phone it was in my pocket the whole time, at home when i went to unlock the phone it displayed " Fingerprint Hardware not available", actually this issue happened to me 1 year ago it resolved automatically but now again it's happening my best solution is leave it alone (your phone) and hope future security updates to resolve it.
After MIUI update 12.5.2 1st Aug, 2021
Problem noticed:
1.Proximity Sensor not working during phone call and also tested during Xiaomi inbuilt CIT test ( Failed to test cover the screen, constantly showing 5.0).
2. Auto Brightness not working properly day to day usage.
I already generated log file and reported to Xiaomi developers. Request to all do the same if you have same issue..
If anyone having same problem type 'yes' in comments....

Try to confirm with Xiaomi inbuilt CIT test from kernel version just click on repeatedly 4 times and it will open with new window name with CIT. Then go to point 22 and read and try. After try this I will tell you next.
I have done the proximity test before and applied it. There was no change. I'm currently using it without a case and it seems to be ok.

If problem till persist then do a hard reset this will solve your problem. Don't use any default cleaner.
Despite throwing different roms, it did not improve. I guess the sensors are the problem.

Try to do hard reset. https://www.mi.com/in/service/productfaq/
Source: HardReset.info
First method:
Power off the phone.
Next press and hold Volume Up + Power button.
Then select "wipe data/factory reset" using Volume buttons to scroll options, and Power button to confirm.
Now choose "Yes -- delete all user data".
After that accept operation "reboot system now".
Finito!
It doesn't make sense because a different rom was thrown and it still didn't improve.
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 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.
S21fe updated to UI5.
Couple of issues.... Fingerprint reader sometimes doesn't work when phone hasn't been used for some time. When it happens I need to double tap the screen to wake it up and then scan my fingerprint again.
Also "back" gesture (where I swipe up from the right bottom of the screen) sometimes instead of going back brings up the list of background apps.
Both issues very annoying.
Anyone else experienced anything similar?
Try clearing the system cache. Double check all settings. If that flaws things get more complicated...
A factory reset may be needed, but hard to say if it will resolve the issues. Someone will need to try the latter if the former doesn't work. A global reset of settings is a less drastic option but it may not be enough and still take a lot of time.
This is one reason why I spurn upgrades on a platform that's fulfilling its mission. Lol, I'm still using UI 1.5, no glaring issues.
Unfortunately with latter versions an upgrade may resolve flaws in earlier post >1.5 variants. Tough choice once you are on Android 11 as there's no roll back on stock Samsung's for that. I wasn't locked into using 11 on my N10+'s and never will load it. 12 is even worse.
Roll back is an option for you if bootloader wasn't upgraded too. Eventually Samsung will fix it if it's a firmware/software glitch but don't hold your breath for that

That may not be enough if going from 11 to 12, etc.
Rule #1 - if the OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission let it be! You have little to gain and a lot to lose. Although there was a big security hole in 12, not sure if it was patched already or if the patch is in what you just install. Oddly that hole isn't in 9-11.
Gookill is a mess...
I have the same problem with fingerprint unlocking. It simply doesn't work (if I press the side button, it works). Some hours ago I wiped the system cache and after that, I didn't notice the described problem. I will see in the next few hours.
Now I changed "Fingerprints -> Show icon when screen is off" to "Tap to show" instead of "On always on display" which was the default after the upgrade to Android 13.
UPDATE: The phone still has the same problem. Sometimes it simply doesn't allow it to unlock with a fingerprint. The screen is locked as hell. Only the side button unlocks it.
If you go to Lock screen>Always On Display>Show always, does that solve your problem? Mine was set to "show for new notifications" only and the fingerprint icon would disapperar after locking it.
Mine was set to "Show for new notifications". As you suggested, I changed it to "Show always" and we will see, how it works. In my opinion, it is better to show display only when something happens. But something changed and problems occurred.
Report: it didn't help. I have found out that the issue appears if the phone is locked for a while and then a notification comes. This is the reason why this problem exists also while using Android Auto. It creates a notification when it connects ... and then the phone can be unlocked with a fingerprint until the side button is pressed. I'm sure this is a bug that didn't exist before the upgrade to Android 13.
no such issues here with the eu version. definitely an upgrade in every way.
After 3 days with Android 13 on snapdragon variant, only two minor issues found here : slow charging (2h20 from 0 to 100, less than 2h before) and an "unauthorized action due to modified device" screen when rebooting, disappearing by touching "OK" button. Don't know what is unauthorized but... well. I was rooted before, now stock unrooted and relocked bootloader. It doesn't seems to lock something, everything I use is working.
I have the same fingerprint issues after updating to UI5 (unlocking from turned off screen). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It worked perfectly before I updated, didn't change any settings. Very annoying, hopefully it will be fixed in a future update.

The recent update with the December security patch seens to have resolved this issue for me.
Edit: scratch that, still not fixed...
Edit2: turning off lock scrern mods in Galaxy MaxHz seems to help.

It worked in the 4-11-2022 pixel experience gsi
It doesn't work for me either.
Is someone able to register fingerprint and unlock with it? On my a52s I get a timeout error when trying to set up my fingerprint and the whole screen gets really bright when registering fingerprint
