When you get used to it, it's still only like 80% accurate. Randomly it will unlock super fast and other times it fails alot. It's really average.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Sonin66:
I'd say about 90% but it is getting better. I haven't installed my white stone dome glass and currently using zaggs. I think more people are having trouble finding the sensor and placing their finger on top of it. Try turning the screen on to see where you need to hit and get use to it. After I've learned where it is, unlocking using fp has significantly improved at least through this screen protector

I was having issues until I added an additional finger but kept it the same one I have setup already. Now it works flawlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
When I initially got my phone (2 days before release) I registered my fingerprints ASAP. I did each finger twice and it worked alright, not the greatest but I assumed it was just a learning curve and muscle memory that I had to develop. I installed the newest update (ASBA) and it didn't seem to improve, initially. I removed my fingerprints and added them back, this time only once per finger and it honestly works better than before. I didn't do anything special when I deleted and added them again. I wonder if the fingerprints need to be added again after the ASBA update to actually benefit from the improved fingerprint recognition, as it appears that way for myself.

Fingerprints that are added on the s10 & s10+ get better over time with some ai trickery, google search s10 fingerprint ai, theres a sammobile read up...
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] citytrader:
In my S10+ is as bad as my A7 2017, I mostly use Face Unlock with "faster recognition " disabled, with that option off it won't be fooled with a picture anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] iteam:
I re registered them again after the update, and its like lightning now!!! THX!:highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Flying Fox:
Had never issues with fingerprint reader. As I wrote somewhere else, best thing is to press softly when registering it and touch the sensor sometimes more right, left, up and down as you usually don´t hit the sensor exactly in the center in daily use. Anyway there was a little latency until screen woke up and maybe in one of ten cases it didn't work at the first time.

Now I did what you suggested. I deleted the former fingerprint and set a new one. And it´s not only some kind of feeling, it´s indeed much better now. Latency nearly has gone and the fingerprint recognition works absolutely perfect now. So thanks a lot for your advise. Obviously it is not the "AI" of the device but the "user intelligence" Samsung is learning from. The recent update did it - fixed it. Great now, thanks!!!! ;)

It basically sucks. Anyone that says they have no problem with it are full of SH*T
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Idkwtf:
Not very good.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] citytrader:
I agree with you, is crap, I have to touch several times and if my skin is dry because of the climate compared to when I registered the fingerprints (much less climate), much worse.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] eyeatoma:
I'd say that's the biggest issue. It has difficulty recognizing your finger when it is dry (and that is according to the climate). When I registered them initially it worked great because my hands were slightly more humid.

At times I have to rub my hands on my hair or something to get it to recognize the fingerprint. There has to be something that Samsung can do to fix this. Especially given that this is the only secure method to unlock your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] mistermidas:
Maybe you're actually just a reptile, or alien race? Honestly, I have no problems at all with the scanner. I don't understand what the people who do have the problems are doing because IMO it has to be user error. I'm not saying it's flawless, but I never have to re-attempt a scan more than once. Which is pretty much on par with how often I'd need to retry with my S8+.

Now, I don't use a tempered glass protector, only the factory one that came with it so that might be an issue some people face. But honestly, everyone who wines about the fingerprint scanner are probably just too stupid to use it properly or something.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] citytrader:
That sentence will be true only if Sambug designed a special sensor technology for you... but for the people like me that bought the buggy S10+ on the stores, the fingerprint sensor does not work all the times, sometimes I have to wet my finger to be recognized if the climate is very dry.

The same rate of recognition I have in my Galaxy A7 2017 without the ultrasonic marketing gimmick of S10+.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Skwerl23:
At first it was awful. But if you do it right, it works great. The problem is that it is very accurate. So if you don't place your finger like you did it won't recognize it. Touch sensitivity helps. But I'm not a fan of how sensitive it is. At least not so far. However if you program a finger by moving it a little bit. And slowly memorize as much as possible it helps. Adding the same finger a second time and doing the areas you couldn't get the first time help. It's the first of its kind so it'll get better. Software updates may fix it via weakened accuracy. But it's really really good. There is a slight delay to the unlock. But if you "test" the finger it's super fast. So I don't know why it doesn't unlock faster? Maybe they implemented a delay for either extra verification or a more human speed reaction. Not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dizzyraider:
TLDR: It may be the screen protector...

To be honest that how I felt about the in screen fingerprint scanner for the first two weeks of owning the phone (had it since 3/6). It was horrible at detecting dry fingers out of the box but the first biometric update made it much more consistent.

Then after the first week when my Whitestone arrived, it turn onto super-crap. With the Dome, I installed it 4 times with various techniques including Dome's latest pressing down 1 minute as well as SGFreshIdea's, and only with SGFreshIdea's method did the fingerprint scanner actually was able to work when trying to rescan. But even with the rescan, I would be lucky to bet 3 out of 10 scans when my finger are perfectly damp.

After getting frustrated with the fingerprint scanner performance, I ripped off the glass in frustration just to make sure my phone isn't defective (besides the FPS not working well with the Dome, all other touch sensitivity was PERFECT and thus the frustration). Without the glass and rescanning my prints, the FPS turns out to be as extremely reliable, giving me 9 out of 10 without looking (including dry fingers), to which I'm very surprised.

So I'm wondering for those that are having bad experiences with the FPS, have you tried with a naked screen?

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

As for screen protector recommendation, although the stock applied protector is better than nothing, mine started to show scratches after 2 days, so I wouldn't want to buy that for $30 even when it becomes available.

Right now I am using the Ringke Dual Easy film and have found it to be the absolute best non glass protector. The application process allows for proper alignment before setting, and almost guarantees a dust and bubble free installation if done properly.

The surface is surprisingly smooth without any orange peel affect like you would find with most soft protectors. If the Dome's touch smoothness is a 10 and something like a Skinomi a 3, I would actually rate the Ringke Dual Easy an 8.5. The biggest thing is that it works perfectly with the FPS as if the screen is naked. I found it to be much much better than the stock Samsung protector.

For case compatibility, I found It to work great with my Spigen Silicone Fit, the edges have stayed down perfectly. So if you are contemplating what to get or switching from a non-responsive protector, I would suggest giving the Ringke Dual Easy a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Davey Dual Sim:
Mine was superb after the new update, but I read Samsung were recommending you delete all fp and start again

So I did and it's worse than ever
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dizzyraider:
I would try playing with different pressure when you are setting new ones, I have found that to make a difference since sometime you may hold it differently and apply different pressure.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Sticky F:
Mine works just fine, I've taken 4 scans of the same thumb which appears to improve things somewhat.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] dragonOL2:
I was very hesitant getting the phone after all the negative press and comments from the S10 community about the reader, but I am pleasantly shocked at how well it works for me. It's working about 95% of the time, and that's probably a little pessimistic. It's very rare when I get a "no match" or whatever the message is (not sure because I hardly see it). I actually get the "press harder" message more, and that is also rare. I've had my S10+ for about 2 weeks now and haven't noticed a downgrade or upgrade in the fingerprint reader performance. I have 2 fingerprints registered (both my right thumb).

I had to turn off face recognition because it was annoying; sometimes I like glancing at my lock screen w/out fully unlocking the phone and the face recognition was almost overly aggressive at times, if that's even a thing lol
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Clancy_s:
My banking app and Lastpass won't allow face unlock, either fingerprint or pin, presumably because of poor security on face unlock.

Banking app insists on fingerprint if one is registered, won't allow pin only which is a real pia. I'm changing banks later this year but meanwhile...

Thanks to all respondents, very helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] force70:
I am not a fan of it but will use the device for a few weeks to see how it goes.

My Note 9 unlocks the first try on every try I cannot say the same for my S10 plus and its REALLY annoying.

I'm in a hotter, more humid environment and the scanner is litteraly just as fast. I had an s8 and this thing is amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] citytrader:
I think the problem could be related to the humidity of the finger, I improved mine registering the finger when they are dry and when they are humid.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] L A X:
It depends, I'm using a banking app where I'm living and noticed that the fingerprint reader in the app is way faster than the OEM on the lock screen [Just a light quick tap and it's unlocked] Strange, but it seems like the 3rd party app is getting the most out of the fingerprint reader.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] force70:
I would agree here, i never have a hard time unlocking my banking app and its instant.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] madskills843:
Its interesting I literally have no problems with it at all, I mean I wouldn't day its 100% all the time but for the most part it works for me on the first try.

While on the other hand my girlfriend says she has problems with it but she does have nails which shouldn't matter. I had her redo the prints and she says it better for her but not great.

So it's just strange as mine is good and if she tells it not that great. So I guess it's either user error or their are some quality control issues...

But I'm very happen with pretty much every aspect of the phone, well wish it was cheaper but what can you do about that...
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] toodamnmuch:
there's a skill to setting them up correctly, if you've ever been arrested you know how thorough you should be being when you register the prints, if you don't get the tip (under/close to your nail), the sides, the back (further towards the palm) plus rotate your fingers a little for each step of the registration and do them literally sideways, upside down and diagonal it will be hit and miss, personally i have face registered, but my muscle memory is to slap my thumb on the phone, it's literally only dirty sensor or user error when i miss the reader for the most part that causes issues with it and i almost always unlock with my fingerprint, sometimes the face unlock will catch it first but not that often.

one thing i've noticed though is it actually reads the print near instantly, if you just tap at the right speed it will unlock, you don't actually have to hold your fingerprint still for very long at all, a handful of milliseconds at most.

edit: forgot to add one thing that might help a lot too:

your fingerprints change over time people, i regularly clear out all my registered fingerprints and setup both thumbs and both pointer fingers over again from scratch, accidentally pull something out of the oven without mitts and your fingerprints just drastically changed in seconds flat, they melted.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Swimguy14:
Umm what? Your fingerprints are the same from birth until you die... Now if you are an idiot and burn the crap out of your fingers, that's a different story, however if it's only a light burn even then your print will be exactly the same once the skin has healed.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] toodamnmuch:
they most certainly are not in any way the same from birth to death, they actually change (albeit only a tiny bit) constantly, you shed a full layer of outer skin cells much quicker than you would think, even if they attempted to heal or replicate identically there would naturally be some errors leading to changes in your fingerprints, also you can actually remove your fingerprints entirely quite easily with heat, but as noted before it's not permanent and would need to be periodically redone, i personally know this for a fact because i am a heavy smoker of marijuana concentrate (dabs, weed is legal in this state, yay) and when i was still quite a noob at it i tried to pull the red hot quartz off of the bong downstem and had surprisingly flat melted fingerprints for like a week.

realistically though, maybe you pick a hangnail or get a skin flap from clipping your fingernails too closely, or some of the time i'll personally get white spots of dead skin mostly on my palms but other places of my hand as well, sometimes the fingertips, that drastically changes your fingerprints as well.

just plain and simple though your fingerprints do not stay the same your entire life, they stay similar but definitely not the same, they do gradually change and that's why you get reprinted each time you get in trouble with the oinkers, they want to make sure they have the most up to date prints for you in case of minor changes, they'll do this literally everytime until the day you die.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] xhuyvn:
Too sad hear it. But you should try my way:

Try put finger correct position of the sensor. Using test the finger, if any case it can not recognize the add the new one.

My finger too big, so that I need to add twice, half for each (:. After a few times, my success unlocks about 99% and fast.

I want to buy the op6t, I found it at 450€.

I don't know if is it better to buy now or wait a few month after op7 for a cheaper price.

In your opinion I'll find it at less than 450€ or this is an offer I couldn't pass?

(the version I found is the 8/128 midnight black)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sakerhetz:
Good price € 450 for a OnePlus 6T 128 GB / 8 GB RAM.

You can wait for the OnePlus 7 but I think that the price is too high for the OnePlus 7 and after 6 months the price of the OnePlus 7 will drop also ( never buy when the phone is in a hype).

I bought a OnePlus 6 T 256 GB /8 GB RAM for € 420 and when the hype is of the OnePlus 7 I will buy it.

And as you say after the release of the OnePlus 7 .. the price of a OnePlus 6t drops immediately.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] giovanto98:
Very good price! Where did you find it?

Aniway I'm interested in the 6t not the 7, and my question was if I can find it under 450€ in a month (when op7 will be released)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sakerhetz:
I think that after the release of the OnePlus 7 the price of the OnePlus 6T will fall dramaticly.

So with until the release of the OnePlus 7 and after the hyped OnePlus 6.

[Android Apps and Games] Alex of Smeg:
So for years I have used nova launcher and had a simple swipe up on the home screen to lock my device. I got my S10 the other week and continued to use it. I didn't set up face recognition because I am fairly happy with fingerprint unlock.

With face recognition turned off, a swipe up on the home screen locks the screen (turns it off entirely) as it always did. However I tried turning face unlock on today and it's pretty cool. BUT now when I swipe up to lock, I am left with a lock screen rather than a black screen. worth noting that pressing the lock button does turn the screen off entirely. But I have my lock gesture for a reason! I now have to disable face unlock because I insist on locking with a gesture, and it effectively isn't locking the phone.

This is probably a fairly unique problem but if anyone else has experienced this and/or knows a workaround I'd love to hear from you.

Linux or windows? If the latter, do you have drivers correctly installed?
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] k3dar7:
I recommend you first read theory, find in Nokia threads etc, before flashing... this prevent you "bricking" of phone...

In Windows you must install different drivers for device in bootloader/downloader mode... try install from virtual cdrom in n7p while android booted...

Next, you try flash twrp.img to recovery partition (if this you not have from previous phone, you use bad howto, or maybe don't read howto and maybe you have bad twrp img... anyway N7p DON'T have separate recovery partition, have recovery function inside boot partition and then is need always twrp patched on EXACT boot image version for/from you actual ota/security/system version...

I sugest (also if you have correct boottwrp img, don't use patched version, but install special twrp zip installer in special only booted another twrp... here is howto:

Windows 10.

Driver correctly installed, when I connect the phone to the pc if I type "ADB devices" my Nokia is listed correctly.

Then the guy who make the unlock remotely connected with my pc using TeamViewer and he installed all drivers to unlock the bootloader... I presume... :confused:

Thank you, I'll read carefully that thread and hope not to brick the phone. If I'll brick it, it would be a good chopping board... Thank for all informations! :)

When I try to set a password/pattern/PIN on my lockscreen, a message pops up asking me if I want Samsung to backup my password, but the ONLY choice they give me is to "Agree".

If you tap out of that screen, guess what, Android didn't recognize that you secured your lockscreen. If you click Agree, you're forced to log into your Samsung account, otherwise it won't let you continue.

Well, not only do I NOT want Samsung to backup ANYTHING, I get very well known errors when I try to log in to my Samsung account - and can't finish logging in, regardless.
