Fake. This has already been brought up.
It slide 2 lock with a skin and a little modification.
Look at his left thumb. when his right thumb presses down.
Also you cant use finger print reading software on you ppc.
The screen is not capable of reading fingers.
If you put you finger on you T.V all you would get is a smudge. Same thing on ppc.
if anyone knows how to edit the image of the unlock portion of batterystatus. Than the fingerprint would be a piece of cake to put in
The fingerprint scanner is really cool and useful for some people, but I personally don't really care to have a security measure like that. That said, I prefer using the scanner as the unlocker instead of the screen unlocker.
Not sure how many people would actually want this as an option, but would it be feasible to add the option for any swipe to be accepted?
Uhm. That's what it does now. You slide your finger and it unlocks.
If you want it to do it without registering fingerprints, no you cannot do this and you wouldn't want it to, as it'd unlocked whenever something brushed against it.
I don't need the added security either, but I also prefer the fingerprint reader to unlock. The only downside is that if I need my gf to do something for me on my phone she has to use the unlock code, but that's no big deal.
I wish the phone would turn on when you swipe. that power button is damn hard to push. why is is recessed in?

I meant it to be a mod type option. I know it's not an option from the factory.
It wouldn't unlock every time something brushed against it because it would still require a press of the button. I honestly don't know the tech that goes into a fingerprint scanner, but it's not just a pressure sensor, so it wouldn't work with just anything touching it. It doesn't even respond if it's through cloth like a shirt, so I'd argue that the screen is more likely to unlock the phone accidentally than the fingerprint swipe would be.
I'm assuming this could be a fairly complex mod, so it's probably not worth the effort it would take. Still figured it would be worth throwing out there for anyone who might be able and willing to give it a try.
Thanks for the responses so far.

When you setup the fingerprint scanner it has you enroll your right index and your left index. Why not enroll your right index and your GF's right index?
Hah, this thread brought an idea - imagine if the fingerprint sensor could be used as a touchpad - you'd just swipe down to scroll down a browser for instance

Thats what I thought the OP was going to be about when I saw the title. If there was a mod for that I'd isntall it instantly.
Thats if I get the Atrix of course.
Use a launcher like Any Cut to start com.authentec...NavigationConfiguration.
Emulation: trackball. Rotation: eALT180. NAV Mode: Enable.
Have fun.
New life in an old thread...thx for ealt180 tip!

can someone guide me a little? tried to do it but failed right away. already installed anycut, found the app on Activity, selected it but then what? cause it auto closes after i open it.
fixed!
old android 1.6 and earlier had by default screen unlock by just pressing a button (g1 has menu button). android still has that function but its disabled, perhaps it can be assigned to the "trackball"?
Hi I was wondering about the finger print scanner on a s7 edge my question is let's say I can't use my phone for some reason but I need to open it you need to open the phone by placing your finger over the home screen button well let's say I'm not there but my partner is could they register there finger print as well so they can open my phone also is this possible

If you register his/her fingerprint in your phone, they can unlock your phone for you. I let my wife register her finger into all of my phones just in case.

I've noticed that the FP reader was much better on LOS than on stock. Since you can add a finger, then add the same one as a different print, you could fill out the missing parts of a fingerprint. Whenever it finds out that a print is already registered, it just doesn't do anything, like if you didn't touch it.
On stock if you register the same part of a print, it resets the process entirely.
I usually end up with less than 40% effectivity when trying to unlock. Can anyone point me to the right direction? Maybe it's a specific app
In OMNI ROM for 8.1 the fingerprint capture is delayed slightly. Similar to the Z5 Compact. In my opinion the lightning fast fingerprint reader renders the lock screen useless and what used to be a quick display of information is now just a blur as my phone unlocks. This then prompts me to perform several other actions to retrieve/view the notification. Not to mention the music apps lock screen widget to skip tracks is now useless because my phone unlocks before I have time to interact with the lock screen.
How adding a delay in fingerprint recognition could be accomplished (if at all) on the stock firmware for 8.0?
Does anyone know if there is a delay parameter in some part of the system that can be modified?
What controls the recognition of the fingerprint scanner (kernel or android system)?
I know what you are talking about but a workaround is to press it with a finger nail or a finger that hasn't been setup like the little finger of your non-dominant hand.

Yeah that's the short term fix but I want a longer term fix if I am to use this phone for a few years.
Clarification on question:
I guess I am wondering what piece of the android operating system controls the scanner.
Is it the kernel or is it one of the few android fingerprint applications?
Any suggestions on this would be helpful so I can begin looking into a solution because I like the fingerprint scanner in the power button but I just want it to distinguish between me powering on to see the lockscreen/check time/change music or me actually wanting to unlock the device.
