I've used both in the past on several phones.

The HD clear is obvious. Simular to a HD glass screen protector without being glass of course but similar look.

The Matte on the other hand is more of what I will call a dull finish. It is nice when your outside however, indoors it will look as I have said kind of dull.

Don't get me wrong, I have used the matte finish in films many times and mostly preferred them. But that is just me.

I can see how some might be bothered if you don't spend much time indoors.

Hope this clears it up some.
[Google Pixel 6] leegreg81:
I have to say that at least for me the sensor is better than the A71.
[Google Pixel 6] mkstevo:
For me, the fingerprint sensor has worked better than any other underscreen fingerprint sensor. I've owned the OnePlus 6T McLaren, the TCL 10 Pro and quite probably a few others I can't recall that have had underscreen sensors, and none worked reliably for me. So far the Pixel 6 has worked well.
[Google Pixel 6] mitchst2:
Thankfully someone else agrees. My OP6T was ok with regularly used prints, using the other hand was a disaster. Not so with the GP6 and if anything it's getting better with use.
[Google Pixel 6] kramer987:
same here. works well. as I said, people need to follow the instructions when programming. I bet they don't because they just rush through to use the phone.
[Google Pixel 6] koreyb:
I was using OP6 for a few years as well and absolutely despised the scanner. Even with same thumb registered multiple times it wouldn't read half the time, and was twice as slow as Pix6.

I don't have any other experience with them outside of the two, but it's extremely quick and haven't had any issues recognizing.

Haven't applied screen protector or the update yet.
[Google Pixel 6] mkstevo:
Today I've been at work and a part broke that needed super glue to put it together again. [Why does super glue stick to everything, including fingers way better than what ever I'm glueing?] Super glue all over my thumb and finger(s). Pixel 6 unlocked using glue coated fingers without complaint. So, for me, the sensor is working well?

Perhaps more than one type of sensor has been fitted?
[Google Pixel 6] CB620:
Tried the Zagg Tempered Glass today.....no dice. I'm getting around 3/10 unlocks.

Tried LK Tempered Glass.....I'm getting around 6/10 but camera cutout affects front camera. Reached out to company and they suggested I try their film screen protector.

I'm starting to see people have better results with film protectors. Sucks because I left them alone years ago.

I'm also seeing companies pull their tempered glass from Amazon as well as other sites. Maybe they are working on a Rev 2. Since more people have device in hand companies can do more thorough testing.
[Google Pixel 6] Sh0X31:
I use this also and have no problem with the Fingerprint Scanner
[Google Pixel 6] DoobyDroid:
Had 3 devices so far (green screen ) and all 3 fingerprint readers have worked fine registered thumb 2/3 times ok it's not the quickest and ideally would of been better having it on the side power button if they had put volume rocker top and power button below would of been a better combination I think but 99% of time unlocks first touch , I don't use screen protectors just make the screen look naff
[Google Pixel 6] gavingt:
My fingerprint sensor almost never works on the first try. I have to lift my finger and try it again, and then the second time it almost always works:

Watch screen-20211102-171057[1] | Streamable

Watch "screen-20211102-171057[1]" on Streamable.

streamable.com

If that's not a software bug, I'd be very surprised.
[Google Pixel 6] xinzic:
I can get the fingerprint scanner to work almost 90% of the time without any screen protector. I used a tempered glass and it did not work at all.

I thought it's too thick and was preventing the optical scanner to do its job. So I got myself a cheapest thinnest plastic screen protector. As soon the the plastic sheet is on the finger print scanner stopped working.

I am really disappointed. I need at least a plastic screen protector to be on it. I might even return this phone.
[Google Pixel 6] Haxxler:
I really miss the fingerprint scanner of the pixel 5. It worked so perfect every time. I don't know why they decided to change it to an under screen sensor. Those things are always a pain in the ass.
[Google Pixel 6] buschris:
just tried registering my thumb 2 more times as suggested. YAY! fast as my OP7Pro
[Google Pixel 6] gavingt:
I'm never buying another phone without a rear fingerprint sensor again (unless something better comes along). I ****ing hate unlocking this phone.
[Google Pixel 6] lackalil:
While it's a step backward from the capacitive sensors I've had (on a 3a and OnePlus 3), the P6 scanner is equal to or slightly better than the one on my 7T. I don't understand the complaints. The thing I has to get used to on the 7T was having to hold it until I felt the vibration. It's definitely longer than the 3a, but we're talking about maybe 1/3 second vs 2/3 second.
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
Curious if anybody else who has FP scanner issues when unlocking their phones. I have noticed over the last couple days that the success rate went down due to dry fingers. Sometimes I have to press the scanner several times before it works. However, when I try several of my banking apps, pressing the FP scanner gives me a split second note "not recognized" but then opens the app. Every time. Not sure what to make of this. I am not a developer and wouldn't know if the security on the lockscreen is the same within a third party app when checking the FP.
[Google Pixel 6] gavingt:
Google is trying to lie and say the fingerprint sensor is slow and awful because of "enhanced security":

Google pins slow Pixel 6 fingerprint recognition on 'enhanced security'

Google says the Pixel 6's slow fingerprint recognition is due to 'enhanced security algorithms' that may take longer to check your digits.

www.engadget.com

Why do I have to touch the fingerprint sensor twice to get it to work? It's clearly bugged, Google. And if it's not the fingerprint sensor then it's the lockscreen that's bugged.
[Google Pixel 6] gordec:
I don't understand what's so awesome about in screen FP reader. I got my wife the P6, and she hates the in screen FP. I remember Samsung Note 10, then S21 Ultra. Even with S21 Ultra, the in screen FP reader isn't as reliable as physical reader. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a well placed physical FP reader. I'm so happy now I'm on Z Fold 3 because there is a physical FP reader.
[Google Pixel 6] Tidbits:
At least for me it's the read time. Sometimes I don't hit it square on or my finger moves slightly while it's being read and fails. With a screen protector it happens more often as all the ones I tried are slippery compared to the normal screen. I get more unlocks when I am more deliberate and can keep my finger from sliding.
[Google Pixel 6] CB620:
Googles response to the fingerprint scanner is bs and unacceptable. As much as I like the phone I will be returning it. I’ve tried 4 different tempered glass screen protectors and they all perform the same. Not good.
[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
It is so bizzare - I had a leftover SP (not the right size) from my Nord fitted and the FP worked 19 out of 20 times.

I ordered the AmFilm ones of Amazon after reading a few positive comments, but with the AmFilm the FP works 50% of the time - but its so random - sometimes it works 4-5 times on the trot and I think, great I have got the hang of the positioning etc. Then the next time it fails to recognise multiple times until I just give up and input the pin..
[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
I have owned the OnePlus 7T and just sold my OP Nord the last week.

For both, the FP sensor worked almost perfectly - unlocking almost every single time on the 1st attempt and if not then definitely on the 2nd attempt.

I did not rush the fingerpring programming on the P6,even tried reprogramming my thumb multiple times and it worked just fine without an SP in place. It also works most of the time with my left over Nord SP - but when I have tried fitting a P6 SP, the FP sensor is only 50% reliable. - sometimes failing to recognise even after 3-4 attempts.
[Google Pixel 6] jasons1004:
Double tap sensor seems to work faster than hold press imo so far
[Google Pixel 6] blushrts:
I'm using a tempered glass protector on my Pixel 6. One thing I saw that helped me a bunch believe it or not is to rub my nose with my thumb and it works much better. Something about the oil on your skin.

I do have my thumb multiple times as well and the screen sensitivity setting turned on. But the oil on my finger thing helped the most.

I'm using this protector: [2+3 Pack] LϟK Compatible for Google Pixel 6 6.4 inch [Not for Pixel 6 Pro 6.7 inch], 2 Pack Tempered Glass Screen Protector + 3 Pack Camera Lens Protector, Easy Installation Tray, HD Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095YTTR3...abc_1AXD23CS58ZH2SH3C0E9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
[Google Pixel 6] harryw66:
Just to update that I got my WFTE Screen protectors earlier today.

Seems to be working fine, I replaced the AmFilm one with the WFTE and the FP now worked 18 out of the 20 attempts I tried so far - even if position the thumb in different ways e.g. lower part / upper part.
[Google Pixel 6] tomas_v:
Have my Pixel 6 for 3 days now. I cant even count how many times I deleted, then added same finger multiple times.

With or without the screen protector, no difference at all.

In alt these days i managed to unlock my phone with a fingerprint twice, yes, two time out of hundreds of tries.

This is very bad.

After using phones with working fingerprints, that work 99% of the time switching to this piece of engineering is absolutely worst experience.

Tried everything I found here or other places, nothing helps, it is just doesn't work. Thinking of returning this piece of sh*t.

Worst part is that I was looking to to having this seemingly amazing phone.

To those who dont understand how it can be, well it is and it is very frustrating when you got used to authenticating everywhere with just a touch of your finger.

Dont expect any solution, tried everything. It is just bad engineering.
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
Assuming you've done everything you can do on your part, it's obvious that you have two choices. Either return the phone and see if the replacement is better or switch to another phone. I am sorry it doesn't work for you. For me almost all of the problems with the FP scanner went away with the Nov update.

cheers
[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
I'm trying but this is nothing like my P5. Instant unlock unless my fingers were wet. I cannot trust that I can unlock in a heartbeat like I used to. I have the Nov update and it is certainly better but nothing like my P5. As I've said before, this is the Achilles heel of this device. Had they gone with the rear FPR this phone would be unbeatable. I'm just not thrilled, I'll keep it, but I'm going to trade it in for the P7 unless they get either a major fix or face unlock. I can't keep doing this frustrating attempt at unlocking my device while I'm trying to pay or read a text.
[Google Pixel 6] gnite6:
I find it works ok when my fingers are clean, easily 99% success rate. I can forget about using the fpr at work though. While I wouldn't call it filthy, it is a slightly dusty environment and when I get it on my hands the fpr becomes useless. The Moto X4 I had previously had no problems with it whatsoever. It is an annoyance, but not a dealbreaker.
[Google Pixel 6] XNine:
What I've found is that the reader doesn't like a dirty or DRY-skin fingerprint after you set it up with a clean one. After doing some construction work last week, it wasn't working with my dry ass fingers.

I deleted and re-added all fingerprints with my dry finger tips, and now, no matter what, it takes my fingerprints. We'll see if the December update helps at all.
[Google Pixel 6] bobby janow:
I just flashed the update and it's working much much better in the 10 minutes I've played with it. lol. Anyone else getting good results?
[Google Pixel 6] poit:
Sure seems better than the mid November update.
[Google Pixel 6] GroovyGeek:
Have scanned each finger twice, getting at most 25% success. The Pixel 6 fingerprint scanner is truly an abomination. I am coming from the OP7T, which worked 99% of the time with the screen protector in place. I am using the Tocol screen protector on the pixel 6 and am fully up to date. If this does not improve over the next few days with use it is going back to Google. The OP7T got considerably better after a few days. Really disappointing for Google to release a flagship phone with this feature
[Google Pixel 6] vampyre_masq:
I came from a S21 with a flawless reader, i was so disgusted with the FPR on the P6 that i went back to the S21 after a week. Now then after the mid November update it was a bit better but still lots of issues, after the December update that i just did i will say its better again, still not as fast or accurate as the S21 but it is better. Ive only had the update working for like 30 mins though so time may change my opinion again.

On my realme x2pro the proximity sensor does not work well, the screen is periodically off and on during the conversation. Are there custom firmwares with the ability to completely disable the proximity sensor? In cdroid, it is possible to disable sensors selectively for any application, but this does not apply to the proximity sensor (. Also, in any android11 firmware, you can display the disable button for all sensors in the shutter: for developers -> items in quick settings -> disable sensors, and this will really turn off the proximity sensor, and others, but then the camera stops working (

Hello XDA family,

I have a Redmi Note 7 3GB 32GB. I f*kd it and now it is stuck on MIUI screen, occasionally getting to recovery 3.0, and displaying 'NV DATA IS CORRUPTED', then doing nothing more. I have reflashed stock ROMs a million times, but nothing works. I can however install red fox recovery, and flash custom ROMs (of which evolution ROM works), but wifi is lost.

I now think the easiest way out of this mess is to replace the motherboard.

Can I use this opportunity to install a 4GB 64GB or, just to make it better, a 6GB 64GB motherboard?

Will it work fine?

Thanks.

So I've had the Pixel 6 Pro for a day and I'm broadly pleased with it so far... However, I noticed that I received an incoming call notification on my home screen (Red Decline/Green Accept etc..) which could not be actioned. Neither of the buttons worked, the notification couldn't be swiped away - and only a power off removed it. This has worried me - has anyone else experienced this behaviour?

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] gunnerone007:
I got a new phone, the LM-G820UM AT&T version. I followed this guide: https://xdaforums.com/t/tutorial-crossflash-bypass-opid-mismatched-error.4345963/ to flash the stock firmware. With my SIM card in it says "network locked", it doesn't prompt for the unlock code. I have the unlock code and I've tried the various unlock commands (2945#*71001# and 2945#*20001#), but nothing comes up when I do these. Do I need to get it back to the AT&T firmware to be able to unlock it? If so, how can I do this?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
wow, yeah, that's unfortunate. First, yes, it's the at&t firmware that the unlock code works with, not any other firmware.

second, at&t doesn't make their kdz available, so you have no easy way to get back to their firmware.

you might get lucky and find someone who has backed up all their partitions from at&t. Then u would flash ea one back via qfil.

Important lesson: don't buy a locked phone. if u get a locked phone, don't to anything to the firmware until u unlock the phone.

cheers
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] gunnerone007:
@AsItLies would this phone work in it's current state with AT&T?
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
To the best of my knowledge, no. At&t is one of the carriers that has restrictions for their networks. Last I read (have never used them personally), they only allow phones that have their IMEI (they check that), and it's using their ROM, to access volte and vowifi.

so, would it work? yes and no. Volte and Vowifi may or may not be important to you.

Additionally, I'm absolutely no expert with at&t, so u might just try and find out, my info could be outdated.

Basic Guide how to flash GSI

(Incase you dont have TWRP)

First you had to Download the October 2020 Firmware Patch, Samsung Driver and Odin

Firmware Link - (https://samfw.com | Just find your device and use Google Drive for fast DL)

Samsung Driver - https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver

Odin - https://odindownload.com/Odin-Download.html#.YXrNtGkRXgk

Second, Flash the firmware on Odin tick the Auto-reboot then after flashing manually reboot the phone to Download Mode again then flash TWRP

Flash GSI using Tree Ui

Download and Flash the Tree UI 0.9.5

( https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-vendor-oneui3-1-s20-port-treeui-0-9-5-beta-for-a8-a8-a7-m20-m30.4252235/ )

After flashing the rom tick the reboot and back up the Boot partition on TWRP

Then flash the GSI image then after flashing the image go out and press Recover then recover your backed up Boot

Working GSI that i test using Tree Ui 0.9.5 Vendor and Boot

Google GSIS - Not Booting

Dot OS - Works well

CAOS - Not Booting

LeOS and /e/ OS - Not Booting

AOSP - Got bootloops

Octavi OS - Untested

Descendant OS - Works well

Nusantara Project - Untested

Corvus OS - Bootloop

Ancient OS - Untested

Havoc OS - Works Well

Bliss Rom - Untested

Cherish OS - Untested

Android 12 GSI (Pixel GSIS) - Boots up but have an Audio issue i think because of the vendor.

Flash GSI using modded Stock Rom

First, Download the Tree Ui 0.9.5 (Link Above) for Boot backup

Then Download the modded Stock rom here

(https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1b-s_1GhU0FYjiWkPSkdyjO6glefOWsKa) then download the Quantum Kernel 2.5 ( https://xdaforums.com/t/kernel-oneui-gsi-10-a750x-quantum-kernel-v2-5-updated-13-09-2020.4085585/ )

Flash the Tree Ui 0.9.5 and back up the Boot partition then wipe all except the internal then flash the Modded Stock Rom, after flashing the stock rom flash the GSI image you want to use then flash the Quantum Kernel 2.5 then Flash your Tree Ui back up on Recovery section.

I havent try the second method yet i've seen some videos and this method is super effective than the first one.
