When you click on/install the CAB file that was copied over to your Internal storage, you were asked whether you agree to remove the old version of Opera. The old versions (again, for three files listed above) of Opera will be removed after you answered "yes" and the new versions under the same file names will be copied over. Because the file names are the same, the registry values are kept unchanged. Are you sure you are still using the old version after installing the new version? What did Opera say in Help->About Opera? I am seeing Version: 9.5; Build: 2128... And I did feel the speed :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sidd:
I have tried to install the Beta from Opera website, during the installation it DID NOT ask to remove the previous version, just simply installed on the Internal Storage.

But once I have tried to installed the "Sergio PC - Post 4" attached Cabit DID asked me to remove the previous version, and I said yes, but at the end of the installation it said "Installation Unsuccessfull".

Help required in this issue, as 9.5 is really faster than the pre-installed one.

Regards

Sid
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] joedoe:
Well, it did ask me if I want to remove the old version but failed to do so (1.93.x.x US ROM)

Any ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Sergio PC:
What if you guys try installing to device?:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] putradbm:
YUP..it is my case also..but i havent tried to install the version on this trhead....

I'll try it tonight...

opera 9.5 , is absolutly faster than the previous one...

All I can do right now is , remap the sofkey on the home screen to opera 9.5 (replace the contact button)..so if I want to use internet, I just press the softkey..

thx

cheers
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sidd:
Hi Sergio once I have tried your CAB, I did choose to install it to "Device", but still at the end of the whole installation it says "Installation Unsuccessfull"
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Sergio PC:
Well than thats all I can help, I guess it has something to do with ROMs and signed and unsigned versions?

Keep on trying till you get it!:D

Greetings to all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sidd:
Hmmmm.. So the remaining option I have got left is to install the Beta version from the Opera website to the Internal Storage and keep it as an Icon under programs. But sadly my Internet Tab is useless after that.

Thanks for your help

11-9-2021 - RETURNING DEVICE

I’ve given it some time to try screen different screen protectors but the nail in the coffin for me is Googles response to how bad the fingerprint scanner is. I can’t accept that as a answer with no foreseeable fixes or updates.

*****************************************

Tempered glass on and off....I've tried all the tips and tricks floating around from Google and YouTubers. The fingerprint scanner just seems to be bad all together. About 4/5 out of 10 times it recognizes my finger. When it does it's super slow.

A update went out last night that people are saying solved the issue...…It has not.

How have you dealt with or solved the issue at hand?
[Google Pixel 6] Jonster111:
So far no problem with my fingerprint scanner.

One thing you could try (if you haven't done that already) is to make multiple scans for the same finger.

I made 2 for my right thumb, 2 for my right index finger and 1 for my left thumb. So far no problems... Hope that it will get better for you soon :)
[Google Pixel 6] phaino00:
I hate to be that guy, but my fp scanner is flawless on the Pixel 6 (at least as snappy as the OP6T was). Keep in mind, I don't use a screen protector.
[Google Pixel 6] mitchst2:
I've no issues with it either also coming from OP6T. Registered prints twice and made sure to scan different areas including edges. Works perfectly and is quick enough for me
[Google Pixel 6] RoccoN4:
No issues on my end. I have a cheap screen protector on to. It's slow but it's been working. And I have the driest hands ever.
[Google Pixel 6] v:
I've got a screen protector on and it always reads my index finger 100% since day 1.

But initially it read my thumb only 50% of the time, until I figured out that setting up prints initially makes all the difference.

Even before the November OTA fix (which I sideloaded as it was not coming through as OTA), I got it working.

Now its's almost as nice as on my 4a(5G) which is 100% accurate.

Here's a Link to my method.
[Google Pixel 6] mruno:
I am using the ivoler tempered glass screen protector and I can never get the fingerprint reader to work.

If you have a functional finger print reader and using a screen protector, what brand is it?
[Google Pixel 6] kn0wsk1ll:
i'm using tempered glass and can't get it to read. thinking about taking it off.
[Google Pixel 6] silverkin:
Which screen protector do you have?
[Google Pixel 6] mitchst2:
Have those using screen protectors switched on this setting?
[Google Pixel 6] keithy999:
I had the same issues. The update didn't improve things either. I then had to factory reset (for other reasons) and FP reading is now running really well. This is with the 'difficult' spigen glass align master protector. Have yet to test it in daylight though and suspect it won't work quite as well.
[Google Pixel 6] CB620:
After reading through everyone's post....didn't want to quote everyone but:

-Registered every angle of my finger whether thumb or index. 2 registered per same finger.

-Turned on Sensitive Touch or whatever it's called for Screen Protectors

-Turned Always on Display on to keep the fingerprint there without double tap

-Removed Screen Protector

-Updated phone

I'm also using ivoler tempered glass.

Don't think I'm missing anything else.

Only thing left to do that I saw someone did was go a Factory Reset.

yep already tried that. had the phone since Tue and the day 1 update did nothing
[Google Pixel 6] sic0048:
I believe that people are struggling with the fingerprint reader.

That being said, I have had no issues with my P6. I don't have a screen protector on it. It reads my finger print 90-95% of the time when I press and hold my finger on the scanner until it unlocks (about 1 second). I've never had a in-screen reader, but it is certainly not a "tap the finger" on the reader like some phones are. If you are coming from an ultrasonic reader, you will have to reteach yourself to "touch and hold."

It reads my thumb too just fine. Be sure to watch how your thumb typically hits the sensor (for me it is more of the side of the thumb when I am holding the phone in one hand) and be sure to emphasis that area of the thumb when setting it up - but be sure to scan the entire finger/thumb too.

I've only saved my left thumb and right index finger once each (there are only "two fingerprints added" on my phone right now and everything works very reliably with either finger.
[Google Pixel 6] Tool Belt:
That's great, but I prefer a screen protector.
[Google Pixel 6] sic0048:
I agree. I normally put a screen protector on my phones as soon as I get them. However, I think we are just going to have to wait to see what works with the optical fingerprint scanner and what doesn't. This isn't just a P6 issue however. Tempered glass protectors (my go to choice previously) are unfortunately notoriously bad with optical scanners.
[Google Pixel 6] Tool Belt:
I agree, but at this time I will get frustrated with the phone and hope the screen protector works if and when I drop it.
[Google Pixel 6] CB620:
I've had tempered glass screen protectors on optic in screen scanners. This could be a simple case of trial and error. I have more protectors coming in to see. I also have 10 days left to return this device if nothing solves the issue. Taking the screen protector off is out of the question.
[Google Pixel 6] mrnovanova:
The fingerprint scanner is by far my the worst thing on this phone. It's just as bad as the one on my Galaxy tab s7+. But I'm sure it can be fixed with an update. It's just ridiculously slow.
[Google Pixel 6] Waldfalter:
I seriously don't have any issues with the scanner.

Yeah it's annoying to wake the pixel up.

But otherwise it works flawlessly.

I registered my fingerprints rocking and rotating it every time and using different parts of it when I set it up. And have no issues.
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
definitely downgraded after putting a screen protector on. In addition to rescanning I added the same thumb three times and that definitely improved it to acceptable. I had similar issues with my S21 Ultra btw. Nothing new with these. I would have preferred a FP reader on the powerbutton or the back.
[Google Pixel 6] android_dan:
Scanner on mine has worked fine so far. On the two OnePluses I've had (5/8) the FP scanner was hit and miss, mostly miss, so would be more of the same for me.
[Google Pixel 6] winpooh:
What's your build number? Got mine on the 27th and it updated immediately but only to SD1A.210817.019.C2

I hear there's one update after that but I have not been able to get mine to update.
[Google Pixel 6] JonnyTrulove:
I upgraded from the LG G8x thinQ which also has the in-screen fingerprint reader. And tbh this was the one feature I was so unhappy about that I considered not getting the pixel. My experience with the G8x reader was horrible. Always took multiple attempts, failed, and was such a gigantic disappointment.

That said, I have not had a single issue on the Pixel 6. And I mean that literally. Not even a single misread. I keep seeing the articles and complainants but from my experience it has actually been so reliable that it changed my thoughts on in-screen tech all together.

(Not sure if anyone is trying to track the bad ones but for reference my device is a regular Pixel 6, preorder, through Sprint/TMobile)
[Google Pixel 6] mruno:
SD1A.210817.036

I ended up taking off the screen protector as I can't stand entering my passcode 100x a day 😒
[Google Pixel 6] InfDaMarvel:
Hahaha I have yet to put on my screen protector. Hopefully Google will update it through software similar to what OnePlus had to do on my 6T. That alongside face unlock.
[Google Pixel 6] Tool Belt:
I spoke with support about a Bluetooth issue (on this forum, still unresolved) and when I mentioned the FP problem the guy seemingly had not heard about it..............
[Google Pixel 6] docfreed:
ANyone try any of the liquid screen protectors? They should work but I don't know if they are good at protecting
[Google Pixel 6] CB620:
I believe everyone that says "I'm not having any issues" are just tolerating it. It simply does not work.

Flossy touches on the scanner:

Start at 11:00
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
well, hold your horses. Some of us agreed with "it's not working" but fortunately had the experience that with some re-registering and multiple copies of one finger, it started working. At the moment I am getting 1 out of 20 or so fails.

And of course this doesn't work for everybody, I am not saying that.

hope there will be improvements with an update. An FP scanner shouldn't need this much attention to get it to work. All agree.

also, in that video he compares it to a Xiaomi and has similar issues with it. It doesn't work every time either multiple times and he conveniently ignores it.
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
I am sorry to call it that, but I believe liquid screen protectors are snake oil. This stuff is good to get some oleophobic coating back to an old phone, but has nothing to do with screen protection.

cheers
[Google Pixel 6] bige93:
Still waiting on my pre-ordered Pixel 6 delivery and wondering if it's possible to unlock the phone without pressing the power button prior while having always on display disabled, just like it was possible on older Pixels.

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6] docfreed:
Thanks, I kind of had that feeling. Initially I thought it might be like nail lacquer - that dries quite hard but removing it might be hard (and I'm not trying it on a $600 phone
[Google Pixel 6] Swizzle82:
Scanner is trash out the box. Making me appreciate a lot of the little things Lg did right that got overlooked.
[Google Pixel 6] petzku:
Just leaving this here. Think of it what you will. 😇
[Google Pixel 6] docfreed:
This: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09C1JWHYM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details Just placed onto my Pixel 6 and waiting until it dries. I've used these many times on other phones - they dry to a nice crystal clear covering and easy to replace.

Yes, they ultimately get scratched and after a year or so have to be replaced. But they are very thin (much thinner than glass) and I'm hoping that they will allow the fingerprint scanner to work properly.

I'll update afterwords
[Google Pixel 6] DoobyDroid:
Stay clear of the

Olixar Google Pixel 6 Film Screen Protectors​

Total trash and waste of money even following the tutorial video both ended up ruined the way you have to apply them is stupid I wouldn't recommend at all both went in the bin ,£ 9:99 down the drain 😤
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
Does it feel rubbery? I like they PET ones which are harder to the touch. Does it cover the entire screen or just the display part?

Cheers
[Google Pixel 6] Tool Belt:
Please report your results. Other thing that frustrates me is how long it takes the FP sensor to allow another attempt.
[Google Pixel 6] docfreed:
No, when it dries it is fairly hard and glossy. I believe that it is PET (or similar) that is coated with an adhesive and dried. It is applied by spraying with a detergent solution and placing on the display. It covers the whole screen (cutout for front camera) to within about a few tenths of a mm. After it dries overnight I'll test the fingerprint scanner and try to post a picture.
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
Thanks, wet ones are typically TPU, but good to know it's not too soft or rubbery. Good to know it covers the whole screen, which is not the case for all the tempered glass ones.

cheers
[Google Pixel 6] razrlover:
Let us know which ones work when you can please. Waiting for my case to arrive from Google, have my GSP but waiting until phone fully protected.

I work outside allot and drops happen
[Google Pixel 6] PhilipL2021:
You have a couple of options, but by default when a finger print is registered the phone usually turns on a 'temporary on display' or TOD, which is what I'm calling it :-) A TOD is an AOD (always on display) but for a few seconds only.

The always on display uses negligible power as it doesn't cause the phone to wake up or Android to leave doze mode, and its all run from the context chip, a very low powered always running slow CPU that does all the background house keeping tasks and listens to the sensors etc, so the main CPUs remain in sleep. I mention this because the phone will turn on the TOD quite often for the smallest nudge, basically any indication you might be about to use the phone, but it isn't really going to affect the battery that it keeps coming on. So in most cases you will not have to press the power button.

Other options are to enable double tap to wake, so if it is on your desk for example, a little nudge will often turn on the display but you could just double tap if not, or enable lift to wake, but this needs a decesive lift motion to activate.

Hope that helps.
[Google Pixel 6] PhilipL2021:
Just a FYI. When registering a finger print, the text above gives guidance as to what side of the thumb or finger to scan next, such as left edge, right edge etc and it is quite specific. When I first did mine I didn't take notice of this and just kept moving my thumb around randomly thinking that was all I had to do, but on redoing it, following the instructions, actually seemed to result in a much better experience.
[Google Pixel 6] docfreed:
Reporting back: The results were good (better than I hoped). First, cutting to the chase the fingerprint scanner is working 100% and very fast. I have increased sensitivity turned on.

The screen protector turned out to be nicely dried overnight, fairly hard and glossy. There is a slight orange-peel effect but not noticeable unless you blow up a photo to very big. Not easy to see with the naked eye. This (taken with Iphone SE) shows the coating - it's actually hard to take because the coating is very reflective.

Bottom line- this coating seems to work. Time will tell.

CAVEAT: Follow the instructions and work carefully
[Google Pixel 6] Tool Belt:
I have some TPU on order, but as of now 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. If that continues I will keep that on. I have Smart Lock working at home and in the cars, so my use of the FP is somewhat mitigated.
[Google Pixel 6] kramer987:
i ordered this. i cancelled my supershieldz tempered glass order because the reviews truly were bad on amazon, even though I've never had poor results with their products. I'm just not in love with the camera U-shape cutout. wish it was just a circle. makes alignment easier.

i did order the supershieldz clear hd film to try out as it comes with 6 and is cheap. and i can just return it if its absolute garbage.

one thing that wasn't so obvious to me is the difference between the hd clear film protector from these guys vs. the same product described as matte. anyone know? here's a link to it:

update: i ordered the matte also. we'll see what its like. matte sounds more interesting to me than clear hd film.
[Google Pixel 6] turbosrrgood:
I'm somewhat baffled by the fingerprint complaints, my experience has been near flawless (no screen protector yet, those can cause issues). IMO better than all other under screen scanners I've used. Maybe I'm stating the obvious, but when adding a print, move change the angle/position with every press to greatly increase accuracy.

I also see complaints about underscreen scanners in every phone launch, I get it if people don't like that kind of reader, but it seems to be the new norm. If you haven't used them before give it a little time to adjust. I'll admit it's odd they didn't keep face unlock, but that was known ahead of time.
[Google Pixel 6] kramer987:
I am in the same boat. i added my right thumb 5 times and i'm good to go. same finger recognition as my OnePlus 6T that I am coming from. But having been with android phones for the last 10 or 15 years or whatever, I've come to just see and ignore the same critiques. there are people out there who are simply way more nitpicky than others. and there are also people who believe that paying $300 with trade-in or $600 full price means they have to get a problem-free phone. i'm old enough to know that every product no matter what the cost has its caveats. you have to just become a little more tolerant and honestly also lower your expectations, and maybe also rely a little less on your phone. but i get it, there are different types of people out there. i don't judge them. i just now ignore all the overly critical phone critiques.

the only feature i wish this phone had was face unlock. because on the 6T it is all I used and it was lightning fast. But i've had the pixel for 2 days now and i'm used to that feature missing. no big deal. maybe face unlock will become a reality by some other means down the road.

for now, i'll test out and likely return all of the screen protectors i bought. my 6T was fine with the OEM film it came with. maybe the pixel will be fine with nothing at all.
[Google Pixel 6] CB620:
When you pay FULL PRICE for a phone you expect normal things to work. People are simply accepting a non working part of the phone. If I had traded in a device and paid close to nothing I would deal with Smart Lock or using the pattern/pin. I've owned damn near every Android device known to this forum and again there have been countless devices with optic fingerprint scanners that worked way better than the Pixel 6. There are articles and honest YouTubers who are speaking up about the issue. Not people afraid to voice their opinion because they got a free phone. This is a issue and it needs to be fixed. I shouldn't have to go without a screen protector or add the same thumb 20 times to get something to work. That's unacceptable.

I'm sure Google has received and seen all the real complaints online. They need to push out a REAL update to fix the issue and add face unlock.

I have more screen protectors coming in that I will be testing. If none of them solve the issue I will be returning the phone as I have until the 11th.
[Google Pixel 6] docfreed:
The difference is $2 on Amazon. I wish I'd seen these before I got the clear (but I'm very happy with clear) So far since this morning I've had 100% on every thumb scan - probably 20 or so. I think the thinner plastic material makes a huge difference in "scan-ability". It still offers more protection than a bare screen, particularly from scratching.
[Google Pixel 6] kramer987:
I'll let you know how they are. I'm guessing matte will be my go-to
[Google Pixel 6] kramer987:
see, you were who I was describing. and that fine. you are entitled to feel however you like about what you spend money on. but when you get a bit older or earn more money, you'll see how little these things matter.

and don't forget, this is a 599 phone. not 999. and even the pro is only 899. I'm coming from years of OnePlus phones missing sd slots and waterproofing and wireless charging and honestly who gives a ****. they were cheaper and there was a reason.
[Google Pixel 6] CB620:
The reason why I quoted you. I know who you were referring to. The issue is present in both models $599 or $899. You also describing missing features to a non-functional part is not the same.

People are just "dealing" with it. That's your choice. I'm looking for the issue to be addressed and fixed.
[Google Pixel 6] kramer987:
why look for that. just return it and get something else. pretty simple to do these days.

and also all this stuff about the fingerprint reader I take with a grain of salt. if you read the programming instructions and program your finger as instructed, and do it several times over, I very truly believe that the results will speak for themselves. the 6t had the same exact issue and flurry if complaints about the fingerprint scanner. and lo and behold it was actually quite good.
[Google Pixel 6] CB620:
So....everyone on the internet, in store, youtube, reddit, and twitter etc are not reading instructions and don't know how to "program" a fingerprint to the phone?

My deadline is the 11th. Why not return it now?...because overall the phone is complete besides this ONE problem. Samsung is repetitive, Oneplus cameras are trash...there is no other phone to get.
[Google Pixel 6] LeoD:
Apparently there are two threads here with this issue.

I will post the link here for anyone who is interested.

I see a couple of people are going to get the armorshield film.
