It's bad to you because you are using the fingerprint scanner badly / wrong. Nothing more than that is needed to be said. If i can get the fingerprint scanner to work extremely well like many others here does to without any issues, then there is no reasons you shouldn't be able to do the same. Remember, the phone use the same fingerprint scanner like everyone else that have a Galaxy Note 4.

It's either a faulty fingerprint scanner you have or you are misunderstanding how to set up / use the fingerprint scanner correctly to utilize it fully out.

About Touch ID, it's more easy to use, but it's not safer than the fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] donkon:
Honestly the scanner is awesome if you set it right. When I first started using the phone I thought it was crap but after watching the flossy note 4 video he showed how to set it up right and it works flawlessly 97% of the time.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nacos:
Swiping upwards (rather than downwards) yields almost 100% accuracy - two conditions, though:

- register all 3 fingerprints using the same thumb: 2 downwards and one upwards for a total of 6 swipes.

- always use the middle part of the thumb to unlock the phone, not the tip!!

Tip: when registering the 2 x 10 swipes for upwards, make sure you use mostly the middle part of your thumb

Works like a charm and to me, swiping up is also more ergonomically sound, especially when you have a case with a raised edge! :fingers-crossed:;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] olghb:
First let me say that I did not register 3 Fingerprint scans I only did one. Now after using the fingerprint scan from when I first got my Note Edge. Now i have to use the backup password to unlock my phone and can not take off the Fingerprint scan without a factory reset. :( :( :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alizali:
i think it is the best way to unlock the phone.

as i had phones without finger print i think it is the fastest
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
Gotta say this actually works!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Braxos:
You can remove/delete the scanner with the password too. You don't need to scan the finger to change it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] olghb:
Braxos. How do I do that? I want to get into my Private gallery. My backup password doesn't work.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Cloaker:
I never swipe down. I set up mine with both thumbs swiping up and it works pretty close to 99% of the time. I also use finger security to secure certain apps because I hated having to swipe to use GPS, etc.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
This thread reads like an apple 'your holding it wrong' thread ;)

Thank god they went with touch fingerprint scanner this year with the s6 so we get it too in the Note 5.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kolembo:
We also get the double edge apparently so it's going to be a big change.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
Swiping up? How is this even possible? I get an error if doing it the other way round!?

Because of using my Note as a one hand device I had to register my thumb 3 times in order to get consistent results. With a little bit of practice it does work quite ok. Could be better though.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Cloaker:
Not really sure. I have it set up so I can swipe up / sideways so I can do it with one hand. It's a much more natural movement than swiping down, especially with one hand.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
^It's still a miracle to me how you do that. Any videos on the net which prove your point?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
Lol, just unlocked my phone with the other thumb I haven't even registered! How secure is this thing?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RaphaDL:
Guys, the fingerprint sensor works as it should, the problema is it's position. So, does it work? Yes. Is it confortable to use one handed? Probably not. But that's it. It works as it was meant to.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marthinollys:
The fingerprint sensor works perfectly but then I use two hands, and swipe my forefinger.

Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kolembo:
Why lie?

You are never guaranteed success with a single swipe. Never.

Sometimes it happens, sometimes it does not.

With practise I'm down to an average of two attempts.

It's good to have to protect stuff and to keep the phone stable in your pockets but let's not lie that it is either pleasant to use or free from fiddle.

However. It works. Yep. And if you follow the directions OP has given here, it works better.

And if you use it for a while, you get the hang of it.

And actually, that's OK with me. It works.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SleemLDJ:
I'm a little confused with your tutorial because you lost me when you said "a total of 6 swipes"

Please tell me if I'm right.

I want to use only my right thumb so, does that mean that:

I make 3 finger print profiles for right thumb:

2 of them for downwards and 1 upwards

Or

You mean

One finger print profile for right thumb:

2 down, 1 up until it completes 10?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Rsroms:
It is damn accurate for me, almost always work on my first swipe. couldn't be happier more
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
^ Using 2 hands, right?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
Wet fingers seem to be a bigger problem than I would have thought. Turned it off again.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] English_Gentleman:
Seems okay for me. I have fat fingers and it takes one or two attempts but it works fine. I use it to secure my phone and have a back up password (that I almost forgot).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
Since I turn my phone off and on very often: it's too much of a time loss if I need a second attempt to unlock it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] btrmpt:
Works well for me I must admit
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
^Two handed?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MSK1:
The Real secret is to SWIPE UP with your thumb.

It's more natural.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] HiBoost:
One handed. When you register the swipes be sure to put the phone down and pick it back up between each registration. This will put your thumb in the same position/angle that it will be in real use. I just did 10 back to back successful unlocks using only my right hand and waking up the phone with a combination of the side power button and the fingerprint button itself. Both work equally well.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Shahrukh36:
Takes some time getting used to. But once it does, it works flawlessly most of the time even one-handed.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
8 or even 9 out of 10 wouldn't be enough for me. So I think for my personal use case I have to do without it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
There is nothing wrong with the tech per say, but its damn annoying to use. Specially when you are driving and the phone is on the car holder next to the steering wheel. Really nowhere near as effortless as the one on the s6, even as per the views of various reviewers and the one on the iPhone, which just require a mere light press.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
That's exactly how I did it: 3x10 times with the same finger. But unfortunately there are still some errors. Be it because of a wet finger or because missing the area. Don't get why they don't show the whole area where you have to put your finger on.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bigredishott:
I have had very good luck with fingerprint scanner, even using one hand. I am going to try set it up with swiping up rather than down because of my case. I use the Ballistic tough jacket maxx and a 9H tempered glass screen protector. (rather than what came with case)

I used the same configuration on my Nexus 5. Anyways, the lip on the bottom of the case makes it annoying when swiping down, like I am trying to take the case off. I tried swiping up feels more natural and trouble free from the case.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MSK1:
Yep.its all about swiping up.

I have a 90% success rate now
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Joker87:
I'm also very satisfied by this fingerprint reader (I own S5 and Tab S), yet S6's or touch id are better, but once you learned the movement to do one handed it works like a charm

Real complain is you can't encrypt your microsd using your fingerprint in anyway, while there's a hack to encrypt the device using any lock screen you want (but you need root for that)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jamesdroid90:
I have got it working with 100% accuracy with either one hand or two.

I registered my thumb print, and for the remaining swipes I slightly deviated from the original.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Joker87:
Actually it seems we can finally enable encryption using fingerprint for lockscreen, on latest lollipop builds
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jamesdroid90:
How well does your device operate with the added overhead from the encryption?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
100%? What about wet fingers? You don't sweat at all?

I don't know I still think that Huawei's Mate 7 has the best implementation of the finger print sensor around as far as positioning and functionality is concerned.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Joker87:
I haven't tried it on S5 cause I'm still on kitkat and with this fw you're forced to use an alphanumeric password lockscreen to use encrpyion

On my old S3 SD card encryption didn't hit performance at all, while full device encryption did
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jamesdroid90:
It works exactly the same with a reasonable amount of liquid (that amount is debatable) involved but in the pouring down rain I will probably have to use the pin code.

The scanner is larger than the homebutton therefore it is absolutely vital that you swipe your finger from slightly above to below the home button.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] thepiecesfit:
From my experience, no matter how creative you get in the registration process the only way the fingerprint scanner is 90-100% accurate on my Note4 is when you swipe straight down and flat against the home button. I've registered it at all kinds of angles and directions, which is all nice and well on those screens but when it comes time to actually unlocking the phone, all those methods fail no matter how slow, fast and meticulous you are with the swipe direction and technique. What's unfortunate is now the Galaxy S6 has the touch fingerprint scanner like the iPhone6 and the Note 5 will probably have the same one. I wish Samsung would have gotten this in the phone already. The swipe method is cumbersome especially if you have a case near the edge of the phone. My 2 cents.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Fuzzi99:
The swipe method is more secure than touch and in my experience it is 99-100% accurate only failing when my fingers have stuff on them
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BoyMonsteR:
fo me its working very well, but sadly i cannot use it with my paypal as my mobile operator disabled it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
More secure?! I was able to unlock my phone with my other non registered thumb! ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Joker87:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] rquinn19:
Swipe on OG Atrix was better!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
^Haha, he failed once. But to be serious: this special situation works for me also! You're calm with your phone more or less always in the same position (in German we say "laboratory situation"). Too bad that the reality is kinda different : different angles when grabbing the phone, deficit of precision because of being in a hurry, wet fingers etc.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Joker87:
I shot that video, I was holding another smartphone with the other hand that was recording the video and looking the video when swiping my finger

90% success at first strike and 100% at second strike like in the video is real use for me
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabi11:
I also think it's a very bad implementation of a finger print scanner...

It's pretty ridiculous you can't have a decent case and use the scanner normally.

For me- Without a case, it worked pretty good...

With a case, unusable.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yary12:
@up

Have you registered fingerprints after you put the case in? Because with Dictronic matte scanner works very well yet I had to remove previous fingerprints and register them again
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabi11:
Yes of course.

The lip of the case interferes, and I can't swipe my finger properly...

I believe I can do it a little more roughly, and swipe my finger with a little more stress over the bottom lip, but I will probably ruin the case that way over time...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 3kgt:
I love it and it works great 4 me..faster than pin/pass code and more secure
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ozaghloul:
Recently I got the S6 after smashing my Note 4 and the fingerprint scanner finally works easily, effortlessly, and seamlessly. Even if I didn't need security, it's much easier to unlock with fingerprint scan on s6 than even a simple screen swipe.

Stop defending the note 4s horrible scanner. It's really very poor.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
I have 4 devices with fingerprint scanner doesnt even use a lock screen they could be fast but still slower then a no lockscreen i doubt about their security too.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Joker87:
May be the note 4 is too big to use the fingerprint one handed, but it works great on S5 one handed, just look the video I posted previously, 90% success at first stike and 100% at second strike
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ozaghloul:
The S6 uses an entirely different system. You just have to rest any part of the thumb on the home key. You don't have to swipe or push. Its much better and faster than the iPhone's scanner also. This is how all scanners will be made from now on. I don't want to make anyone feel bad about the Note 4. I miss it already, especially the stylus. But the fingerprint scanner that we all expect and want, the one we grew up watching in sci-fi movies is the one on the S6.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Joker87:
I know it's better, but S5's scanner works good too
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Fuzzi99:
Am I the only one that likes the Note 4 and S5 fingerprint scanner more than the S6 and icrap ones?

I've always seen fingerprint scanners as swiping over the reader not resting on it, then again I've had a fingerprint scanner in every laptop since HP started using them.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MSK1:
I find the scanner more than fine on note edge.... but can't compare to s6.....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MartiniGM:
Pretty much similar to what decent PC fingerprint readers have been like for.. a decade.. about time this was implemented on smartphones..

..but if the companies implement the best technology they have instead of just doing.. microscopic upgrades.. no one would want.. or need to upgrade.. just like the PC market. :p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Gandalf67:
Tried finger scanner feature a couple months ago and gave up after 50% accuracy. Now after this thread lecture decided to try it again and guess what? 100% !!! Just did first 10 scans of my right hand index finger only. Thumb finger is too big I think to get it working properly. I did a couple scans downward, upwards and sides. Cannot believe myself it works in 100% accurate!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Tom-Helge:
Happy to see that it's working great for you :good:.

Yeah, my fingerprint scanner still works as good as i said it does in my first post here. Even after countless of TWRP restores and after trying out Android 5.0.1 and then back to Android 4.4.4, it still works perfectly.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MartiniGM:
The TWRP problem will only occur if you restore a backup with different fingerprint software fingerprint data than what is stored in the fingerprint memory. If you don't turn off fingerprint security before you backup you can't do any changes to the finger print security data and then do a new restore without problems.

"[enter finger print data] -> [backup] -> [use phone] -> [restore backup]" should work fine but "[enter finger print data] -> [backup] -> [use phone] -> [edit/change finger print data e.g. record another finger] -> [restore data]" will most likely result in an error.. it can be solved by a factory reset, but until you do you can't use the finger print reader.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] coolfire:
FWIW, i honestly feel that the scanner detects much better on 5.0.1. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
I wouldn't say that the fingerprint scanner on the Note 4 is bad. I've been using it for about a week since I've got and it seems to be working pretty well so far. There have been a few miss reads but I think it due to the fact it's quite sensitive and requires that you need to have you digit swiped across the sensor at the angle you swiped during the setup process.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Gandalf67:
I would say it's great. During last week I can say that scanner's accuracy is 99%. Average one miss read per 50 scans. The one miss read is cased usually by inaccurate finger position. So well done Samsung!

Sent from my Note4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MSK1:
I find that swiping upwards with the thumb at an angle is most natural.... especially when holding phone in one hand.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dbappa:
Is there an app that can unlock the phone like the One Plus Two (swipe to unlock rather than wake the phone and then unlock)?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MSK1:
I use the "gravity" app. ..

Ie as I pick up the phone and unfold the flip. . . It wakes up and I swipe to unlock.

Works a treat.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lucaoldb:
It works, 99% accuracy when holding the phone in one hand and swiping with the other one. Swiping upwards with my left thumb is ok but once out of 5 times I have to swipe a second or a third time to unlock the phone. If I swipe very carefully, the accuracy will be almost 100% even when one handed but, in this case, I would better use my second hand too (it is faster).

In my opinion it is a fairly acceptable performance for this kind of scanner, though the one which does not require you to swipe your finger is undoubtedly better.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
I have been using finger scanner for last 2 weeks. It works perfect for me i have used 2 fingerprint to register my right thumb and i didnt follow the phone s orders and just grabbed like i hold it whole time and scanned my finger and it definetly works awesome. For the 3rd fingerprint i tried to register my left thumb but its not perfect. For the best experience i think you need to register your 1 finger in a lot of different ways and you can even use 3 fingerprint to register your only 1 finger.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bonerp:
I hate it. And you look a **** repeatedly trying to unlock the phone and then still being asked for a password! My mates ip6 appears to be much more accurate. Finger placement is so the way forward.

I wanted to use it when outside as sometimes the screen is hard to read in bright weather, but its too unreliable. Given up.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Gandalf67:
Why don't you follow our settings methods pal? As I said - since I followed previous advice on this thread (3 mths ago ) - got 99% accuracy score. Beat your friend's ip6 easily this way!

Fingerprint Scanner on Note 4

Hi,

Very good explaination about Galaxy Note 4 Fingerprint Scanner.

But I feel this 'swipe down-style' not very convenience like Galaxy S6 that use 'tap & off-style'. Is it possible the Note 4 fingerprint upgrade from 'swipe-style' to 'tap-style' like Note 5 or Galaxy S6?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Anthony
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Gandalf67:
Swipe style is more secure. Already you can buy a special gel to imitate fingerprints and unlock device by sticking it to "tap style" reader. The news was taken from Flipboard magazine.

As we know that the phone's camera become more and more sophisticated, we still struggle to use it like a pro.

Its hard to handle the razor slim phone steadily to create best photo.

No, we are not saying that DSLR-photo-quality can't be achieved using a phone's camera as more features are cramped in our phone and the camera spec is more advanced towards DSLR.

Take Note 3, Note 4, LG G3, etc for example....

My sketch: https://www.dropbox.com/s/44rs748hjhd3xzj/DSLR Handle for Phone.jpg?dl=0

We missed one thing and I got a concept in my brain but can't draw it properly.

So I tried to draw the best I can and will share to you who are wiling to develop it and maybe crowdfunding it using Kickstarter (for US citizen).

I don't have money, or access to the tools required, or resources to develop it.

As I'm Indonesian, I don't have access to Kickstarter either.

NEEDED: Hardware maker for realizing my concept and software programmer for programming the interface and GUI required.

Sorry if my English are bad.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kangal:
There's countless products and gimmicks out there.

How can you be sure "your" concept isn't something that's in creation already.

Besides, no-one will take you seriously.

This whole deal of "PM me and I'll think about sending you a sketch" is moronic.

Just sketch your concept, upload it online, link it here into the thread.

When people see it, they might like it... might even supply improvements to the concept.

Even I won't be interested in it if its not posted to the public.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Thanks for the advice...

OK, here's the sketch....

https://www.dropbox.com/s/44rs748hjhd3xzj/DSLR Handle for Phone.jpg?dl=0

It's basically the DSLR-like handle for phone...

I can't sketch it right since I can't draw...

But hope you can get my idea...
