I was using custom ROM, after returning to Stock Rom the fingerprint does not work anymore, I followed the procedure of sensor and wifi recovery, but the fingerprint is still not working, already flash other versions of rom stock and nothing, sometimes after flash it works again, but after rebooting the cell phone it stops identifying. Anyone have any solution?
Hello,
I just upgraded my phone to OOS 9.0.13 and xXx to 6.0. Since then, I can no longer use my fingerprint sensor properly. I can see the icon on my phone but it's a bit darker and when I place my finger on it to unlock, nothing happens. However, if I tap it multiple times, it tells me I'm pressing it too fast but there's no animation like there is when you unlock your phone.
I deleted the fingerprint I had already and now I can't setup a new one because of what it's doing. I power cycled the device, cleared dalvik cache.. still no luck. All I did was booted to recover, flashed the new OOS version, flashed TWRP installer, rebooted to recovery, flashed magisk, flashed Blu_Spark kernel, rebooted system. I've never had this issue before and the fingerprint sensor was working just fine before I made this change.
Any ideas? I've disabled xXx in Magisk and it still didn't work.
Thanks!

It could be the kernel. Doing a search found results in the blu_spark thread with fingerprint issues.

Definitely makes sense now that I think about it. I thought at first only custom ROM's were having that issue

how is everyones fingerprint scanner? I don't wanna do onscreen cause it's slower than the rear, what about the 7? I'm almost gonna stay with my 6 just because there's no rear anymore....
with every update it becomes quicker, no issues.. there is a big difference since the early updates.

Traditional sensors are superior in speed and accuracy the in-display fingerprint is garbage and not ready for market. If it's a dealbreaker for you stay with the 6.

I find it to be excellent. Slightly slower than my 3T, but just as accurate. And MUCH more accurate than my work-provided iPhone 6. The reader learns over time; after about a week or two it was working optimally.
Rear facing FP scanners are the worst in my opinion. A common use case for me is to have the phone on my desk and I like unlocking it without having to pick up the phone to access anything on the back.
I had installed havok 3.4 and used it with lockscreen and fingerprint sensor working.i removed both before clean flashing havok 3.5 but havok 3,5 was buggy so i restored havok 3.4 backup after formatting my device. but my lockscreen is stuck on swipe only cannot set any other lockscreen now. pls help as it is a fairly new device around 5 months old. and cannot buy a new phone.
anyone has problem with fingerprint on galaxy s7 edge G935FD?
yesterday i install ED7GE rom v8.0, fingeprints work perfectly, after backup rom and want to install v9.0 the fingerprint shows 'Make Sure fingerprint sensor is clean and dry, then try again'.
don't know what mistake i've done, i try to clean my sensor but nothings happen, i've try to flash stock rom too, but it keep me show the message. surely its not hardware broken right? cus when i restore ED7GE v8.0 i'd backup, fingerprint works perfectly.
i'm so frustrated. please help me
So I flashed lineageOs 17.1 unofficial build on my phone earlier to test it out. After booting into it, I realized the fingerprint sensor wasn't working so I flashed the stock rom using odin. After boot, fingerprint sensor still didn't respond and when I try to add a print, I get an error,"make sure the home key is clean and dry, then try again.", so I used the dailer code (*#0*#) to run sensor diagnostics. The results are as seen attached. Is there anything I can do about it? The home button still works fine so I doubt its a hardware problem. If anyone has a fix for this i'd be grateful for you to share.
