I have very good accuracy with the fingerprint scanner when it comes to flat finger swipes, however not very good luck when it comes to one handed swiping with my thumbs.
I have repeated the one handed thumb swipe setup numerous times with varying results, but less the great.
With that said, I decided to setup a couple of up and down swipes and have pretty much solved the one handed swipe problem in my case.
Hopefully this can be of some benefit to others.

Hey guys, you know that S7 Edge feature where if you swipe the edge when locked it will show notifications, well to me it doesnt work sometimes, reboot fixes it.

mines still not working after restart
I faced the same problem. Is any way to get solved that?
I disabled all my Edge apps, they use a quite a chunk of ram for the purpose they serve.
The problem is not to disable Edge apps but feeds not working

I have the same issue when I swipe the edge on the s7 edge when the screen is locked it says unable to show notifications
Has never worked for me. Shows "unable to show notifications"
Not working for me either.
I was disabling some apps with Package Disabler Pro and I killed a bunch of them.
First thing I noticed was that mu Samsung S Clear Cover wasnt working (when I flipped the cover the screen wouldnt turn off), a simple restart fixed the problem but then I noticed the Edge Feed wasnt.
When I swipe my finger up and down on any side, nothing happens nor shows up.
I did notice that when I do the gesture the phone wouldnt sleep anymore (simply by holding my thumb on the home button after doing the up-down thing would unlock the phone) and the screen would still be black
Still no solution? I have a hungarian S7 edge and am facing the same ptoblem using the firmare version G935FXXU1APC8.
Solution to edge notifications not working
I found this for the s6. I was having the same issues with my s7. This fixed it!
How to solve “Unable to show notifications” problem for edge screen on Galaxy S6 edge?
You will get the “Unable to show notifications” on the edge screen if you disable notifications on lock screen,
As edge screen on Galaxy S6 edge is part of the lock screen. If you, for privacy reasons, disable notifications on lock screen, notifications will not be shown on edge screen as well.
Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge offers you three options on notifications on lock screen (in Settings—Sound and notifications –-Notifications on lock screen **I searched "notifications on lock screen in my settings***):
1.Show content. Notification will be shown, as well as the preview of the notification.
2.Hide content. Notification will be shown, but no preview of the content.
3.Do not show notifications. Notifications will not be shown on lock screen, including edge screen. If this is selected, you will get the “Unable to show notifications” on edges screen on Galaxy S6 edge.
So, the solution for this “Unable to show notifications” problem on edge screen on Galaxy S6 edge, is to choose Hide content or Show content for notifications on lock screen, not the third one.

hello
I have a question
One member know a software or a modification for the fingerprint?
Because when i use my fingerprint first i click on the home button and after i see the lockscreen and after my finger is readed
On huawei/Honor phone when i put my finger on the fingerprint the fingerprint unlock my phone without go on lockscreen
So do you have a solution for the same way of unlock as honor/huawei?

No
there is one way to do that...turn on your edge feed...when your screen is lock..swipe up and down on the edge screen til your edge feed come out..then scan your fingerprint..it will unlock your phone without hitting any button..
Passive fingerprint reader

I know the Problem you are facing,
That's because the readers on Other phones like one's you mentioned are having an Active Fingerprint Reader which is always scanning your print even on Screen Stand-By
Samsung phones on other hand have a Passive Fingerprint Reader that gets activated by the press of the button only and so it wont scan the fingerprint until the screen is activated by any means - either you press the home button of Activate the screen by Edge Feed (swipe Up and Down on Edge)
This is a Tad Bit of less convenient because of Passiveness but it has important safety precautions like
1) phone does not get opened up if you accidentally touch the sensor in pocket
2) press is better because you can feel the pressure and know if someone pranks you while you are sleeping
3) fingerprint reader uses less ram and less battery because of being inactive most of the time
"But I do Confess that Samsung Phone's Fingerprint Sensors are Slow Compared to Many Other Phones even if we Test While screen of on"
I've got the LED case for the phone, when i flip it open i just hold my finger over the sensor.
Unlocked without pressing buttons
Thans for all the answer
I understand now

Wow nice! i had no reason to keep edge feed on, now i do, i came from OP3, so i miss the super fast fingerprint scanner
Was wondering if there was anyway to use a gesture app or a task to use the LG G6 fingerprint sensor as a home/back/action button without having to have a locks teen.
I have fu screen immersion on my phone and found it favorable to have the sensor act as my home button, but hate the idea of having a locks teen other than "swipe". Any work around for this?
So I bought my wife today a Moto G5 Plus 32GB (I've had a 64GB version for a few months) but am having issues with fingerprint unlock. When we were setting it up today we noticed that on mine, finger print scanning will skip the swipe up to unlock screen when I put my finger on it but hers won't. You can tape your finger a second time on hers and it will fully unlock, but not with the first press of a finger like mine. We can not for the life of us figure out why mine is different as we are running the same exact settings in security and both are running nova launcher. Does anyone have an idea on how to enable a one press of the finger scanner to unlock and skip the lock screen?
