Can anyone give their opinion on the finger print scanner? How does it compare to the Galaxy S7 s?

I haven't used the Galaxy S7 but the fingerprint scanner on this phone is one of my favourite features. It's on the home button which is a physical button, so by physically pressing and holding the button you can wake up and unlock the phone (I use my thumb for this). It seems fast and accurate and works with other apps quite nicely.

Thanks, it works in the same way as the S7's then. I think the one on the redmi note 4 looks better as it's a better position and is always on and so you just tap it to wake and unlock.

Hey guys,
I just received my Nexus 4 and it seems everything is great. The only thing I am iffy about is the power button on this phone. It always comes on when I press it so it is completely functional, it's just it feels a little stiff.
If I move my finger or thumb to press it on one side or another, it doesn't click. I actually have to press it somewhat in the middle for it to click. Does anybody else have this issue? The power button works fine but it just feels funny I guess.
If anybody has a quick answer that would be great to prevent myself from doing a OCD-SELL on Kijiji
i have the same issue. But I think this is a feature, not a bug It prevents the phone from getting unlocked in your pocket.

I have a suggestion: Try sliding the power button from the top to the bottom. I've found pressing it directly is difficult but sliding it is much easier. I'm also holding it with my left hand so I'm using my index finger.

Hello,
I know that it exists 2 ways to unlock the Z1 using the fingerprint:
- Wake up the device using the double tap to wake or power button, then use smoothly the fingerprint sensor to unlock the device
- While the screen is off, perform a long click into the fingerprint button (AKA home button) to wake up and unlock in the same action.
I like much more the second option, but... do you think that the long click will break the fingerprint sensor with the time?
Time will tell
Is there any way to change how the fingerprint sensor responds so you have to press the button to turn the phone on instead of it just recognizing your fingerprint?
Doesn't that kind of make it pointless?
Its already set up like that.
If you don't place your finger into the button properly for scan, and press the button imstead than it just turns on screen and goes to lock screen.

I want to be able to hold the phone in my hand without accidentally unlocking it. I'm used to a Samsung phone where it's unlocked from the front button and now I'm constantly unlocking the phone just by placing my fingers on the sensor, that's why I'd like it to not read my fingerprint until I press the button.

OH, I see. You want it to not engage until the button pushes in. Not sure how we could go about that. I've unlocked on accident a few times, but I've gotten used to holding the phone a certain way and it's not too much of a problem. I actually like it to be honest. I've registered both index and middle fingers on each hand, and when I pick up the phone, I kind of slide it into my hand a certain way where it just falls on one of those fingers perfectly, and I get unlock immediately.
I get your point though.. Hopefully someone can find a way. Shouldn't be too hard.
What is the quick launch mechanism on the g6 for the camera
Supposed to be Volume down twice with screen off or locked. Haven't really been successful using mine yet.

Works for me.
am on G600L10i
This is one of the few things I don't like about my G6, I wish there was a way to quick launch the camera whether the screen is on or not. Every other phone (well, most), have this function.
Heck, let me double click the power button or something...come.on LG.
With screen on... Hit the power button, hit volume down button twice. Takes less than one second to launch camera.
Screen off just hit volume down twice.

@skyfox99 I known I can do that, just takes too long as you can't immediately hit the volume down twice after power, you have to wait a sec, otherwise it just comes up to lock screen.
Defeats the term, "quick launch".

I can launch it in less than a second. That's pretty quick to me and works from any screen... Quicker if you haven't AOD disabled. Instant launch would be nice if that's what you're referring to like a dedicated button or something. Although I had an old Windows Mobile HTC Tilt that had that and the camera was always getting launched in my pocket.

Well, good for you I guess. If I hit power while the screen is on and immediately double tap the volume down it just goes to the lock screen, essentially just wakes the phone up. Only if I pause briefly after tapping power does it actually work.
Works for you, great, good for you. It doesn't work for me.
Again, would prefer another method. Heck, just give me the option for the volume down double to tap to work with the screen on, that would do it.
Well, title's pretty explanatory :b My power button has become mushy, and not at all tactile to press. Anyone else with the same feel? What to do?
Bought it on launch day..
Mine is very clicky. You could either try using a case that has a bump over the buttons to help make it feel more clicky, or try contacting support and see if you can get a replacement.
How many times have you pressed it more firmly than you should?
We all, tend to do that when we enter a lot in the recovery using the button method instead of the advance reboot option available in the developers' option.
Why exactly do you use that button?
(I suffered from the same behaviour on a Google Nexus 4)
I wish I could say I'm surprised but I'm not impressed with the build quality of this phone and expect that the various buttons and ports will go bad for a lot of owners. I'm already having problems with the headphone jack and my phone is just 3 weeks old.
I rarely use the power button. Double tap home button to sleep and use the fingerprint or double tap to wake.
I sometimes accidentally press the power button, but that's about all the usage mine sees.

Don't you ever reboot your phone?

Rarely. There are options even for that. Can use an app if I really want to.
