At least as snappy. Keep in mind, I set it up after the software upgrade and do not use a screen protector.
[Google Pixel 6] kafisc:
Did you guys try to use a plastic screen protector? I don't have one myself, otherwise I would test it directly.
[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
I upgraded from an OnePlus Nord 5G - the Pixel6 seems just as smooth - for normal day to day stuff.

Previously had the OP 7T - which I sold when I got the Nord 5G and I did not notice any performance difference between the Nord and 7T. But I dont play games - just internet, phone, music and Netflix etc.

Still missing some of the OnePlus launcher features and gestures etc - and the slider!

Getting used to the P6...
[Google Pixel 6] Trina9:
No problems straight out of the box. Even before the update.
[Google Pixel 6] phaino00:
I used Nova with my 6t, not much change for me on that end. So far, pretty happy with the Pixel 6. Theming is still limited, but that should change.

Zuhtly screen protector I tried makes the fingerprint sensor unusable. Even with setting up multiple fingerprints with same finger.

He is having issues with the fingerprint scanner with a film protector.

[Google Pixel 6] fastfreddy101:
I restarted the phone and my fingerprint scanner is fixed. I increased touch sensitivity and it didn't change anything at first but after a restart it works like before I put the screen protector on.
[Google Pixel 6] Tool Belt:
So you are now running with or w/o a protector?
[Google Pixel 6] NavySpark:
Posted this on the Google Pixel sub reddit yesterday.

So I had to switch screen protectors to get the fingerprint reader to work. My first version was too thick. After replacing the glass, I setup each thumb 3 times and getting a solid 95% success rate. My other thumb that only has 2 setups has a little more of an issue. The sensor is a little slow but works.

Does not work with fingerprint sensor:

[Google Pixel 6] fastfreddy101:
I have the cheapest tempered glass zuhtly screen protector from amazon on and its working 75% of the time. I went from it working 0% of the time to working 75% of the time just by restarting the phone. Animation scale set to 1x, increased touch sensitivity on & I setup the same thumb twice after restarting.
[Google Pixel 6] leegreg81:
I have hyperhidrosis and I haven't had much of an issue, especially compared to my old Galaxy A71.
[Google Pixel 6] maxlsmurks:
For me FP works. Its just slow but recognizes my fingers everytime. Did not change anything and registered fingers only once. (No screenprotector)
[Google Pixel 6] draexo:
I have really large thumbs and the Pixel 6 is the first phone that let me unlock with my thumbs. That being said, I can not get it to unlocked with the screen protector I ordered. Many of them are out of stock.

It would be good to know if someone finds a tempered glass screen protector that works with the finger print scanner. I ordered several that are in stock and will test.
[Google Pixel 6] Tool Belt:
I have the SuperShieldz TmGlss, added thumb once, index finger 3 times. turned up sensitivity. Thumb rarely works, finger works as well as my outgoing Sammy S9, which is acceptable.
[Google Pixel 6] LeoD:
Just a FYI for anyone interested. I received my Pixel 6 on 10/27. After reading the issues with the optical fingerprint scanner I decided to try the armorshield film for the pixel 6.

Granted it is not ideal but with the issues coming up with the glass screen protectors I figured why not.

Anyway after it was installed on the phone I added my left thumb twice, my right thumb once and each index finger.

Left thumb and index fingers worked almost flawless.

Took a while to read but worked.

Right thumb had some issues. Most likely cause of the way I hit the screen.

Anyone who is familiar using any film knows it takes a couple of days till the film smooths out. ( for a lack of a better term)

What I have noticed after 4 days of use is it seems to be improving with use.

I would say it is 100% better now than when I started out when I first started with the phone.

Hope this helps some.
[Google Pixel 6] vandyman:
Today's update magically fix the finger print chaos for me.

I am using the glass screen protector.
[Google Pixel 6] fastfreddy101:
Was there an update today? The fingerprint reader is working a lot better all of a sudden.
[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
According to reddit a new update was rolled out for some carriers?
[Google Pixel 6] OuHiroshi:
What update? Maybe people are finally getting the Day 1 SD1A.210817.036 update that most people already got.
[Google Pixel 6] fastfreddy101:
I woke up this morning and I was having issues with the fingerprint sensor again. I restarted the phone and its working perfectly again, like a night and day difference.
[Google Pixel 6] sic0048:
I'm not sure the phone is suppose to work with your "other thumb"....... ;)
[Google Pixel 6] sic0048:
That update is technically the November security release. Google simply released it early for P6 device on the P6 release day. That has obviously caused confusion because lots of P6 owners are expecting to get their regular Nov update that was just announced and don't realize that the update last week is the same thing.
[Google Pixel 6] NavySpark:
Haha... well sometimes you just get lucky and you get two!
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
yep, the update reads Nov 5 2021, which is in three days lol
[Google Pixel 6] sean222:
I used a crappy soft plastic screen protector (the kind that dents) and the fingerprint sensor worked beautifully.

I ripped it off and put on a glass screen protector (Pure Gear) and now the fingerprint sensor doesn't work...works maybe 1 out of 15 tries. I hope I can return this glass screen protector...
[Google Pixel 6] Annil:
Fingerprint reader works perfectly here now with glass screen protector on.

Issue I had before was, that I had registered the fingers without glass. Now after fresh install I have registered them with the protector on and now it works like always and pretty quick.

Happy so far :)
[Google Pixel 6] Morgrain:
This is actually a security hazard. You might want to do a bit of research on this. There are several people who tried out with their partners and those were able to unlock their phones. If you register your fingerprint with a screen protector on, chances are that the optical scanner just registers what's underneath your screen protector, ergo giving out the "go" for unlock, even though your fingerprint is not correctly registered, ergo even your partner in that scenario (or any other person (!)) by chance could unlock your phone, without ever having set it up.

Always register an optical fingerprint scanner without a screen protector.
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
are you sure this is true for an optical FP scanner. I see your point with an ultrasonic FP scanner, but the optical uses an image of your FP. Yes, the optical FP scanner can be fooled by a high res image of your FP, but that is an inherent problem with them, with or without a screen protector.

cheers
[Google Pixel 6] Morgrain:
I never tried it out myself, but just recently (this morning) read a reddit thread where someone reported this (his girlfriend was able to unlock his phone without ever having set up her fingers, even though it only worked with one of her fingers, not the other 9). And since he was talking about his Pixel 6 Pro... and it's not the only report I've seen, jep, I'm pretty sure its true for an optical FP scanner.
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
well, if that is wide spread then that's the end of optical FP scanners. That would make them not secure - period. I still wish they would have used one on the back.
[Google Pixel 6] Morgrain:
No, they are secure (as far as I understand). You just have to register your fingerprints BEFORE putting on the screen protector.

It seems that if you set them up WHILST having the screen protector on, they might become a security hazard. It's not clear as of now in which scenarios (it's also possible that the people that installed the screen protector "made a mistake", maybe they touched the underside of it, leaving maybe a partial print on the underside and the phones scanner is picking that up). We just don't have enough information as of now.
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
so all the "common knowledge" that you have to rescan your FP with a screen protector goes out the window. It works, but now it works for more than one person potentially. Sad
[Google Pixel 6] sic0048:
Well obviously my joke isn't funny if I have to explain it, but in your post you said you had 'setup each thumb 3 times and getting a solid 95% success rate" which implies two thumbs. Then you go on to mention your "other thumb".....
[Google Pixel 6] Annil:
I'd really like to see some evidence/proof on that for optical finger print readers, especially how this is technically happening - of course all given, the protector and also the phone itself were completely clean and no fingerprint was leftover. Couldn't find any research paper or whatever on that topic and this would really exist, it would be defintily have been researched as optical fingerprint sensors are more and more common (not only in some smartphones)
[Google Pixel 6] LeoD:
I think I might have come across something that might help some having problems with the FPR.

A couple days ago I ran across a article that gave some suggestions on how to correct the FPR issues. I decided to give it a try.

First understand as I have said before I'm not using glass. I decided to go with that ArmorShield film. If you like you can check out my other post in this thread on how that was working out for me.

So this article suggested to use some moisturizer BEFORE recording your fingerprints. So I have vaseline fast absorbing moist. Put some on my hands, and rubbed it in (so as not so mess up my screen of course). I then removed all the fingerprints I had stored and added them again. 2 of my left thumb, 1 of my right thumb and both index fingers. I went slow and basicly held my phone how I would use it and followed the on screen directions. All I can say is at least in my case WOW!!!!

I can honestly say that now at least for my phone it works as well as any other phone I have or have had with the rear FPR.

I also DO have the Increase touch sensitivity turned on in the display settings.

I have to say I did not think something as simple as moisturizing my hands would make such a difference.

I do understand as with any tech there are possibilities of bad units and I'm sure some for the Pixels will come up however I am hoping this will work for some of you guys as it did for me.
[Google Pixel 6] LeoD:
Actually without any proof I find this hard to believe considering a very high percentage of people can't get in their phone with their FP registered.
[Google Pixel 6] LeoD:
She was probably gas lighting him lol. As we all are aware you can find an exception to almost anything on the internet.
[Google Pixel 6] NavySpark:
Appreciate the grammar lesson... Did you get the point or do i need to break it down?
[Google Pixel 6] Tool Belt:
I am finding my P6 with the SuperShieldz tempered glass is acceptable. But, I have some TPU skins on the way just in case.
[Google Pixel 6] Darthapple:
I got the zagg one.. added 3 fingers before screen protector...

After applying it. They all work..

Added a fourth finger which was done after the zagg was applied and it works fine.
[Google Pixel 6] fastfreddy101:
Edit: this tool is not intended for this purpose and shouldn't work

Anyone who's having problems where it doesn't read your finger at all or very rarely. Try rebooting the phone and see if it helps at all. if you notice an improvement it might be a calibration issue. Try going to https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com on your computer using Chrome and install the fingerprint calibration software onto your device.

Let me know if this works for anyone else.

Im fully updated, using tempered glass screen protector with increased touch sensitivity on. I noticed that the fingerprint sensor only worked for an hour or so after rebooting before not recognizing my thumb anymore so I tried the calibration software and it seems to have helped a little. The fingerprint scanner is very slow but if I hold my finger there long enough it will unlock on first or second try.
[Google Pixel 6] Tool Belt:
READ this first.

Got my screen protector this afternoon, fitted it, failed to recognise my fingerprint.

Tried to add the same finger again and it got to half the segments and didn't register anymore.
[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
Amazing! That totally did the trick. Thank you for that.
[Google Pixel 6] LeoD:
Your very welcome. Glad it worked out, I was blown away myself
[Google Pixel 6] nchesh:
Where did you get the Zagg screen protector from, I'm based in the UK and they don't make one here
[Google Pixel 6] Felchy:
Have you heard back from Spigen? Or has anyone else? What did they say.

I set up my new P6 a couple of days ago. First thing I did was put the screen protector on. I added the same thumb to all five finger spots and I only get a successful read maybe 5% of the time.

This is so disappointing considering how well the rear fingerprint sensors have always worked.
[Google Pixel 6] sic0048:
Adding the same finger 5 times isn't going to help. Honestly if you move the finger around while registering it to ensure that all parts of the finger are recorded, you shouldn't have to add it more than once. I realize that some people do get better results when they add it a second time, but I suspect they don't move their finger for each "teaching scan" while setting it up and 5 times is total overkill in either case.

In your case, it's clearly the screen protector causing the issue. Take it off and replace it with one that isn't tempered glass if you really want to use one on this phone.

Personally I'm running my phone in a Spigen case, but I'm not using a screen protector yet. I have 95-99% success with the fingerprint reader and have only scanned my fingers once. I have the thumb and index finger scanned for both hands, so I have a total of four prints saved, but each one is only saved once.

[Moto G7 Power Questions & Answers] _def:
Hi there! I installed LineageOS 18.1-20211023-NIGHTLY-ocean on my Moto G7 Power and it mostly works fine, but one thing that is really bad is that my 2,4 GHz wifi connection is very unstable. It often disconnects and reconnects itself only after several minutes, I didn't have this problem with any other device before and don't know what to do about it. I might try the stock rom again to see if it is a hardware issue.

Does anyone know if this is a known issue and if there is a fix for that?

edit: Oh I forgot to mention: even when it is connected, data transfer seems really slowed down sometimes.
[Networking] thenext1:
Hi all.... i have a motorola Q9h with the widcomm bluetooth stack and a PC with bluesoleil 6. I would like to browse the internet with the bluetooth pan connection.

I've configured the pan connection and it connects, but 1st of all, if I connect from the phone, it doesn't get a DHCP IP address. The desktop pc has 192.168.50.1 and the smartphone has 0.0.0.0 (seen with "EM IP Utility").

If I connect from the PC, the two get an automatic private address 169.254.x.x and can even ping themselves, but no internet because with the DHCP not working, the gateway and DNS addresses are not set.

So I tryed with "WLANIpChanger" that lets you set a static config on a smartphone, connefted and verified the settings, i set IP:192.168.50.2, GW and DNS 192.168.50.1, subnet 255.255.0.0 .... shut down the radio to force it use the BT PAN connection, but it won't do it. IE says "cannot connect" and doesn't even try connecting thru the BT PAN (data counters are still).

Does anyone of you know how to get this working?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadary:
Hi there, I am still new in this area of custom ROM, so any help or advice is very welcomed. I have a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005, but I am trapped in android 5.0 so lots of the apps is not working for me anymore. A friend recommended me to search XDA for possible solutions here and I found that I can upgrade my android beyond the official updates here.

My main aim is to get a newer android so I can use PlayStore to install the latest version of this and also preserve the S pen functionality. Can anyone mention what are the best custom ROMs to install that can allow me to use the S pen to write down notes or be used for writing in the keyboard instead of typing? Also how can I back up my phone original ROM just in case the custom ROM does not work?

Thanks a lot for the help 😄🙏.

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] venom_762:
I bought a new pixel 5 in May roughly a week after my 14 day return date I started having issues with the proximity sensor, screen would stay black. After several rejected devices I got a good one. It lasted about a month. I can squeeze the screen on the top and make it fail till a reboot. They sent me another device and so far the proximity sensor is working. But the display looks like trash, washed out colors reds look almost orange. What is worse is that I can reboot the phone and see screen bleed (light) on the lower half of the screen on black screens. This makes me wonder how there seems to be lcd bleed on an OLED display.

I've just set up my phone, and from all the videos never seen anyone comenting on the LTPO panel refresh rate. Tested the screen by enabling the FPS counter in developer settings and noticed it never goes down to 10hz. Even worse - always on stays locked at 120hz and home screen locks at 60hz. Is there something I am missing, or is it a bug?
