Issues with Fingerprint Scanner

Is anyone else having problems with the fingerprint scanner? I'm trying to set it up to accept my print but it won't scan it.

No problems at all. Set up quickly and easy.

swipe slowly. good swipes take at least a full second it seems. mine set up just fine and works for unlocking the phone.

Mine was shockingly easy to set up.

Thanks! That's all it took...

You don't really need to exagerate the swipe, but the 1 second rule is not a bad one to follow.
Make sure that the way you swipe to enroll is roughly the same as the way you swipe to authenticate. Holding the phone in the same way helps a lot.
Swipe from the base of your finger pad, to the tip of your finger.
Always use a pulling motion. Do not push your finger across the sensor.
You can actually unlock the device whether you pull toward the bottom of the phone from the top, or flip the phone around and pull the other way during the swipe. This can be very useful when the phone is in a dock.
If your finger crosses the sensor at a strong angle, you may not be able to authenticate or enroll. Remember that the finger should be aligned as indicated in the animation.
Enjoy! And remember, this is serious security. It's way beyond the pattern lock or a pin. And yet, it's easier to use than either. How often can you add security and make something easier to use at the same time?

Trusted devices and places on lollipop - what is the point? !

Okay, so I'm running lollipop on my galaxy S5 and after connecting my bluetooth headphones it asked me if I wanted to add them as trusted?
So, as I trust them, I said yes.
After that, whenever I locked my phone using the fingerprint lock I would instead get a swipe lock screen instead. Swiping it would then take me to my normal fingerprint lock screen.
So, instead of one lockscreen I would have to unlock two!
What the hell is the point of that?
Am I missing something?

Finger scan in OOs vs H2OS

In H2 my FS works really well but total other story in OOs, it reads to set a finger but then in the lockscreen nothing happend. Any clue?.

Maybe other customers are not setting up the fingerprint correctly. Each time you lift your finger and place it down, should be a bit of an alternative positioning. Like: Maybe they hover their finger not enough and setting up the exact position for the whole process. I have no problem with my fingerprint and besides my signature states: I'm currently on OOS 2.1.2.

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

Is there a quick launch for the camera on the Pro3

Received my LEX727 Pro3 yesterday, and it's...quirky, but pretty good. Coming from a Samsung though, and I really loved being able to double tap home to jump into the camera without unlocking the device. Is there a similar option for the Pro3?

with the screen locked, on the right bottom corner you will see the camera....

Thanks, also found out I can have it learn a different fingerprint, and use that fingerprint to instantly launch camera even with screen off.
