Hello,
i am having very frustrating time trying to enroll a fingerprint on the phone. This is my first phone with in-screen fingerprint reader so i am not sure if this is the intented implementation. I want to enroll two fingerprints of the same finger (thumb) for better accuracy. Enrolling first fingerprint is no problem, but when i try to enroll the second one, halfway (sometimes sooner, sometimes later) trough the enrollment process i cant help but press with the part of the fingerprint which is already enrolled with fingerprint 1 and the enrollment progress is reset which means i have to start over. I also get the message that this fingerprint cannot be enrolled becauise it is already enrolled fith fingerprint 1. Of course, when i try to enroll once again, the exact same thing happens again and again to the point that is almost impossible to enroll two fingerprints of the same finger. So far I have been using xiaomi phones with physical fingerprint readers and enrolling two or more fingerprints of the same finger was no issue at all.
Can someone confirm whether this happens with in-screen fingerprint readers or is this an OP thing? Thanks.

you don't need to register your finger twice, once is enough

New to Samsung. I am running stock. After registering my fingerprint and unlocking the tab one time using the fingerprint scanner it has not worked since. I have tried to use it to unlock the tab at least 10 times and it fails each time. Every time it tells me to"make sure I am using the full pad". I try rescanning several times and get the same reply. I have done a search and could find a answer to my problem?
Slowly swipe over the scanner. Works reliably for me.

The 'mistake' I made when first setting it up was to try to carefully scan the same way when registering my fingerprint.
When registering swipe your finger all kinds of different ways. The full pad, more just the tip of your finger. Rolled to one side and then to the other. Swipe faster and slower, finger tipped at different angles, etc.
Now it should work very reliably.

Exactly what i did that made mine a tonne more reliable.
I stumble upon a semi-interesting thing when I was about to set up the fingerprint reader.
I always register the same finger 2-3 times to increase accuracy.
When I performed the process in my new Edge+ I saw that every time I logged in with an already enrolled finger to the menu for fingerprints, the phone highlighted one of the already enrolled prints thus gave an indication of which of the already enrolled prints that it matched my print to.
Difficult to explain, I´ll attach a few prints but thinking it could be helpful if you want to increase accuracy and want to update an already enrolled print that´s not accurate.

I read this a few times and I really can't reproduce what you are trying to explain. The image links you have provided don't help at all, sorry.

it recognises that you have already input that finger that's why it's so accurate it won't do it with a different finger

What he's trying to say is, when you go to the Settings where you enroll your fingerprints, if all of your fingerprints (out of 4) are already enrolled, when you press your finger to the home button, the menu highlights which finger (out of 4 enrollment) just touched the home button. So what he is saying is, we can use this feature to see if the fingerprint has been registered correctly or not and hence we can enroll same finger from different angles in multiple enrollment slots so that it enhances the detection process for one finger.
Frankly, I think the fingerprint sensor is already very quick and precise. Also, its wiser to register the fingerprint from different angle while enrolling one finger is much better than enrolling same fingerprint in multiple slots.
Nice tip op. Would never think to check it that way, but it is a good way to check if your noticing that it's often hard to unlike your phone with your finger print.

OP3 finger print is really fast but sometimes I just can't it to get it work, once it doesn't work it'll not work at all and then I have to unlock using Pattern
Does anyone have this issue?
I found that if on lockscreen there is a lock symbol it won't open by fingerprint. If there is a fingerprint symbol then it works
Not to worry!! While you are registering a finger..... u have to completely register each corner of the finger print.....only then it works from however u put ur finger on it!! I experienced it many times too!!!
Just registry 1 finger 2 times...thats all
But it works always except when there's a lock icon on lock screen.
If there's a fingerprint scanner symbol it works 100%
it wont work with wet finger, wipe your hand
When you register a finger, you have to put all kinds of different parts of the fingertip on different parts of the fingerprint scanner, so that the scanner "knows" your finger in all possible positions. That is what the lenghty procedure is for.
Yeah I've done all kinds of way, rolled it, left, right, top, down.
Does anyone know why there's a lock symbol sometimes on lock screen instead of fingerprint symbol

Fingerprint Problem May Be?
Hi,
Sometimes my fingerprint is not recognized by fingerprint scanner. I have registered two fingerprints for the same finger. Still sometimes it does not recognize.
Is it because still some area is left which is not recognized? When it is not recognized and i put my center of finger on scanner, it recognizes.
Is it fine? Also is it fine if it doesn't recognizes if only a part of sensor is touched by finger. I am using fingerprint sensor first time so little bit skeptical.
I think i am testing it too much just to confirm if it is fine and somehow able to make it fail at some area of my finger. :silly:
Please help.
Please help me guys.

It requires pin after a reboot, then you should be able to use the fingerprint reader until the next reboot.

Its because of security or you can use require pin on boot and it will take bit long for booting
But what about the lock symbol and finger print symbol on the lockscreen, has no one observed this yet?

Been using OP3 FP scanner from last one week. I have 4 Fingers registered it works without any problem. Clean you FPS
I've been having an issue where I would take the phone out of my pocket and the fingerprint scanner wouldn't even vibrate when I touched it. After trying several settings I started putting my phone in my pocket with the screen facing out instead of towards my leg. I think the fingerprint scanner would get activated while rubbing up against my thigh. So far I can tell it's working fine. Everytime I take it out of my pocket it recognizes my finger right away. Also I noticed less battery drain.

I saw it. Often when i unlock using fingerprint the phone gets locked automatically 1 second after unlocking, than the symbol is a lock and i have to use the pattern. Then there is a text something like "For improvement of safety, a pattern is required" really annoying

I started a chat yesterday but the girl with even worse english than mine told me to do a hard reset and wipe everything. Havnt done it cause i dont think it will help
So can you use the iris scanner and back it up with a fingerprint too? Not 2 factor but in regular use cases like driving a car or wearing sunglasses, or simply hitting the home button to power the screen on?

I believe you're asking if the Iris Unlock and Fingerprint Unlock can both exist as an unlock option at the same time so you're free to choose whichever one you want to use whenever you want?
Kinda like... normally, you would want to use the fingerprint unlock, but on those days when its raining and your hands are wet, you can simply swipe up to activate Iris Unlock instead?
If that's what you're asking, I believe YEP it can!
If you take a pause at 03:04, on the unlock screen that he has, there's this message that says,
"Use fingerprint to unlock or swipe screen to use iris instead."
It looks like the reviewer has both set up so he's free to use either option as his choice.
Even if this would be possible, I woudn't use it to compromise security.
There's no sense for an iris scanner, if the informations can be accessed by a fingerprint scan.
And when your finger is wet, just dry and use it.
I really preferr fingerprint scan to unlock the system and iris scan, to access very confident informations (telebanking, passwort store and so on).

Exactly right. You can set both up and use whichever you prefer in any occasion.

I don't understand how this combination would compromise security, since the level of security of fingerprints and iris scanner remains unchanged.
On a whole, the Iris Scanner is already more secure than the Fingerprint Scanner.
From what I know of the phone, even if you use the Iris Scanner as an option to unlock the device, you're still able to use it as the unlocking method for a more confidential storage option like the Secure Folder.
Since its two different things, you're free to use the more secure Iris Scanner to both unlock the system and to access confidential information.
But I believe, fingerprint scanner would be used more simply because its quicker to unlock on a typical use case than the extra step for the Iris Scanner.
Honestly, I'm very excited about this combination.
A few months back, I ran into this scenario where I tripped and fell on my hands. Ended up scraping my fingers against the concrete and it tore some skin and left some scars that didn't leave for a few weeks. So at the time, fingerprint unlocking didn't work and since I primarily used Fingerprint Unlock, I forgot my backup password and had to rely on the GMail option to unlock device.
For a few weeks, I had to switch to using a Pattern Unlock till I healed enough to switch back to Fingerprint.
Now, if I had this phone, I could simply switch to the Iris Scanner and unlock without having to bother with the entire trouble of trying to remember backup password, gmail unlock, and switching to Pattern Unlock.
The Iris scanner is, as you write, "already more secure than the Fingerprint Scanner".
But if you use both in parallel, you reduce your security level to the Fingerprint Scan.
If someone steals your device and has your fingerprint, he might get access to your informations.
Iris scan does not bring any additional security, if you use it in parallel with fingerprint scan, unless you don't forget to put all your sensitive informations in the secure folder ...

Ahh, I misunderstood you.
So you meant that using both would give people a less secure option to get into your device when its safer to just use the more secure method?
I misunderstood because in your original post, it sounded like you preferred the fingerprint unlock for unlocking device and would rather dry your fingers instead of using the iris unlock.
The wording confused me.

Fully agree with you but also personally I don't care. It isn't about added security for me. Finger is fine. I just want gloves on convenience.

If someone has my finger to open my phone, I have bigger problems than them getting access to whatever is on my phone...
He doesn't need your finger, a fingerprint on a glass will do nicely
With the Iris Scan it's a bit more tricky, there he might need your eye ...
Maybe a good reason, not to use Iris scan, if you mess around with the wrong people ...
I'm running stock OOS 9.0.8, unrooted.
In the last couple OTA updates, I have noticed issues with the fingerprint reader. I have a few apps with security settings that allow for opening the app with a fingerprint, and throughout the day, I will have periods where the fingerprint reader doesn't register prints. The fix so far seems to be locking the screen and hitting the fingerprint reader on the phone over and over until it registers a print, at which point the app unlocks with fingerprint start working again too.
I haven't figured out what exactly causes this, because the reader still works entirely fine, it's just that it stops reading occasionally for 5-10 seconds until I re-open the phone from the lock screen.
Anyone have any info on this? Thanks in advance!
