have you had problems with your fingerprint sensor? - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

I have a Zenfone max Pro m1 (6gb ram).it's not rooted.
My fingerprint sensor mostly Works when my finger is slightly wet or should I say has some moisture. If it's dry( no sweat nothing ) it mostly doesn't work.
Also enabling camera2api makes it worse ( don't tell me it can't affect it blah blah)
Anyone else faces issues like these??? Or was my product just faulty
Any help would be greatly appreciated

It's not relevant to Camera HAL3.
Anyway, I have the similar issues and Camera HAL3 is enabled on my device. Fingerprint sensitivity is very poor from the beginning. Works well sometimes if we update or reset. But, over a period of time, the same issue appears again.

i have same problem and faces from startup

I don't have any problem with fingerprint sensor!!
It's works blazingly fast!!

I faced this problem as well but it didn't start the same way.
Its happened to me 3-4 times but every time it happened because of problems in flashing a rom.
When there were problems in flashing a rom my phone would become slow in openung apps and ram management would become **** and i would also have the fingerprint problem that you've described.
But it all goes away when i reflash the rom.

Sorry bro I meant worse not works guess I was really sleepy

To those of you who are facing fingerprint lags, just add your finger as much as you can, I've registered my two index fingers twice.
Add them in different positions like when you are holding the phone by one hand and.... you get it right.
Just register the same finger twice from angles which you use the phone regularly.
Also when you are in the screen which allows you to add more fingers or to delete the existing ones(fingerprint settings), if you use the fingerprint sensor with a registered finger, it'll point out the one which is registered (dunno how to explain more, just check you'll get it).
This can help you understand how precise is the recording and which angles are best.

Are you updated to the latest version of stock rom?
If not you could try updating manually.
Or you could revert to an older firmware and then try updating manually.

Bro i have 6gb variant and same issue faced. I thought asus used a third class fingerprint hardware. The fingerprint sensor of rn5 pro is far far better than this.

I also had this problem that fingerprint sensor needs to press harder than previously over the time but there is solution which works always.. Restart device by pressing and holding power button (not by reboot or shutdown option in menu) and if u want u can also remove previous fp and register new one neatly...

No use, no problems!

I have this problem too. I have latest stock room. I will try to add one finger print two times

I have max Pro m1 6gb.
Rooted and installed MIUI 10
No issues buttery smooth fingerprint sensor on dry skin.
Did you looked at your fingers, are there enough grooves on your fingers or did they just washed out during licking the CHURAN in childhood.

Man your trick is awesome now fingerprint sensor respond like DC comic flash.?

I bought Asus Zenfone max Pro m1 from flipkart recently, I faced same issue after enabling hal3 and Google camera mod.
I had to press the finger print sensor so hard, which made it almost unusable. I tried deleting and adding finger prints. I thought this to be a hardware fault.
Flipkart offers complete mobile protection for ₹99, so I sent this mobile back to flipkart. They replaced the sensor, and also reset the phone.
Now everything works butter smooth. I'm afraid installing Google camera again would create this problem again.

Fingerprint scanner

I assume the normal usage, at least what Sony intended, is to first wake the phone by pressing the power button, followed by screen unlock, done by fingerprint scanner.
You can bypass the screen unlock for a period of time, configurable under security settings, by selecting various screen unlock timeouts.
Isn't anybody else bothered by this two steps unlock, isn't it possible to be done in one step only? Is Sony even considering to change or allow one step unlock?
To me this is becoming older by the minute to the point I completely disabled this feature. Not to mention, the fingerprint reader sensor needs multiple reads to get it right. (of course, I have reconfigured the sensor by inputting what I hoped a wider finger area, didn't get better)
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
I can do it in one go. Hold power with registered finger in the right location and phone unlocks shortly after depressing power button, i.e. fingerprints are read whether or not the power button is depressed. Your sensor requiring multiple reads is probably why this isn't working for you.
I've read that the sensor doesn't work well for many people and I've experienced how damp fingers don't really work either. My fingers are not the greasy type (too dry more like) so maybe this is a factor for some...
You're right, it works, although, not all the times unfortunately. In like 10 tries got it to unlock directly 2 times. Well, at least the functionality is there, thanks for your answer.

youre right it doesnt open in 10 times , 3 times it works, me having a slightly damp finger, it refuses to open, i just hope Sony guys have a work around for this??.. or is the finger print reader ther for namesake ??.... it doesnt work that well for me !!
I'm having the same problem. Moist fingers decrease the recognition of the finger print sensor. But I could improve the detection rate a bit. I've registered my mainly used finger twice. Once dry and once moist. Did help I think.
Mine is working suprisingly well, although i have only used my right thumb for it.
I have no trouble unlocking it with muddy wet hands on a bikeride, although i still wipe them slightly before using my phone.

No issues, make sure you scan all whole finger (circumfrence) as you go through the cycle, people scan the same angle over and over again

This is the key. Try as many different angles as you can when registering your finger.

Agree with this. Also did this when I registered my fingers. Scanner works well. One of the best out there.
I sort of like the idea of a press and scan. Would think if the scanner was active the whole time it would possibility affect battery life and keep the phone awake. Possibly a good design from Sony, especially with marshmallow coming with the doze feature.

Mine behave quite differently. I press the power button and then it just reads my fingerprint. It get it right just about every time, so it's like pressing like it is without the finger print scanner. I'm actually very impressed.

I have the same behavior...
if you have free finger slot and want extra precision, you can scan the main finger you use twice , with as many angles as you can.
i'm very impressed by this sensor love it!
I have my Z5 for 5 days only. I registered 3 right hand fingers and one left, but I actually got only 50% success unlocking. I thought it's just a hardware limitation or something...
Then I read this thread and registeted my main finger twice, also applying the "cover as much around" (I'm one of those who thought I should be constant when registering my fingerprint).
Anyway, I wanted to thank you guys and to confirm - I get 100% reading success rate now, plus the power push+scanner unlocks 10 out of 10.
Amazing scanner!
PS: of course I have to try in different conditions too, fingers wet or greasy etc.

[Bounty - 25€] Disable fingerprint scanner when in pocket

Hi!
Since I`ve had it with HTC FP scanner, I`m willing to pay/donate/whatever 25€ for feature, that effectivley makes FP "DEAD" when in pocket (like gestures or edge sense).
FP has to be totally dead, it cannot wake the screen and it must not unlock the phone when correct finger is approached IF proximity sensor is blocked (in pocket or covered with finger).
Problematic screenshot: https://dl.xda-developers.com/4/2/3....png?key=TE1t1Ck2PtXFwA8Ih4py2Q&ts=1502032478
It can be:
* app
* kernel option
* you tell me
It has to be available to all, users and developers to use it as they wish in their roms or kernels.
Since we have many great devs that work their asses off for us, I`m willing to pay for this feature and hope that it can be done in a way, that we can all use it.
BTW, if someone else is willing to chip in, be my guest, I will add you to the list
Thanks!
I hope too that this gets some solution.
As far as I've dug into this whole topic, the sensor connections are now a big portion managed by nanohub firmware applications that are not part of the kernel code anymore.
Google replaced sensorhub with nanohub. It looks like it became very hard to get proper sensor states or hooks since this.
Same applies here as it seems to me. The proximity results are not channeled through CPU running kernel code.
I'm still looking at this, but even in the nanohub driver this didn't appear as processed data, looks like the different conditions are connected outside the kernel code.
While squeeze driver and touchscreen are also working correctly when pocket mode is detected, but this happens without the old ways kernel was doing a few years back.
I've checked the staging/nanohub and proximity drivers so far on kernel side, for a pointer.
You can disable "tap fingerprint scanner to wake phone" in settings. I was having a problem with it doing all kinds of stuff in my pocket till I disabled that. And I can still use fingerprint scanner to wake phone as long as I use the finger that I have scanned. Only that print will wake phone or screen.

Yes I know.
I`m using this right now.
But it still reacts on wrong finger or clothes, see screenshot, wakelocks are still there.
How??
What kind of clothes are you wearing that it triggers the FP scanner?
Or are you all day walking with your hands I in the pockets... Go work.. [emoji23] [emoji6]

Fingerprint scanner reliability

Hello! I have seen the ugly head come around that the scanner has not been super reliable. Now, I have the Tmo version and am on 9.0.0. Is that the reason currently? If not, It seems like the screen protector has smudges on it thus causing miss reads. If I try to wipe it off, it helps. Maybe we should be looking at a different screen protector? Thoughts?
Cheers
Joshua
I haven't had a fail to read yet... A few times it was slightly slower but still went through. Maybe try resetting up your finger. I know if my hands have been wet for a while my old phones wouldn't read.

I have reset it up a few times now. Tried even setting it up twice and that still didn't help much (to do this, I just kept pressing it again and again and it finally logged a second finger).

The more i use the FP reader, the better it seems to be getting. One thing is that it requires more pressure than my old Moto Z Play, but that's been an easy adjustment. Give it a little more time and continue to use all the fingers that you have stored. I mainly use my right thumb, and it works all the time now. My left thumb is hit and miss, so I'm using it more.
Unlocked the display 30+ times on 9.0.4 and it didn't reject my finger once. Speed varied each time if you place your finger/thumb perfectly aligned will unlock almost instantly
Was an OTA for screen unlock improvements already not sure what it changed though

Ill try pressing harder. Good idea!
I have the TMo version and I don't really get failures for my main/first finger entered. It seems that the more I use a particular finger, the better it unlocks. So the first finger is fine. The second was ok and is getting better. Third and fourth are still a mixed bag but getting better. My suggestion is to make sure you are enrolling them as you would be using them. So if you're going to be using a particular finger while cradling the phone a certain way, enroll it that way. If you will use that finger while the phone is sitting on your desk, enroll it that way. That seems to be the main thing I've found.
It seems the scanner isn't reliable on mine. It is really snappy after the initial setup. Then it loses accuracy within minutes after the setup. It doesn't recognize any of the finger 90% of the the time. I ended up either enter in the pin or use face detection. I don't understand the problem. my oneplus 6t is a tmobile.
I've got a McLaren on OS 9.0.9, and can definitely vouch for unlock instability w/ the left thumb.
Still have the screen protector on from factory shipment, so don't know if removing it would help, but not enough of a nuisance for me to want to remove it...yet.
I'm having an even worse issue.. A friend is able to unlock my phone without adding his fingerprint to my phone.. OP isn't taking this issue serious when I report this to them and they keep telling me to add my fingerprints again..
I have a OP 6T McLaren Edition, and just registered my right thumb. When I can't use my thumb, I use face recognition.
So far it's been reliable after a few weeks of use, but I've noticed you need to learn the right spot and the way you put the finger also influences its accuracy.
Something I've noticed...
I didn't use the "face unlock" when I first got the phone. Just used the fingerprint...VERY quick. Then, I turned on the face unlock just to see how well it worked, and was surprised how well it DID work (just not with sunglasses...duh). I've noticed, that if I wake up the phone,
with it anywhere near my face and try to unlock it with the fingerprint sensor (habit), the phone will stutter while I assume it is trying figure out WHICH way to unlock it.
Any chance that is the issue with yours?
If I have the phone laying on a table, no where near my face, and hit the power button, the fingerprint sensor is VERY responsive, but, if my face is anywhere near the phone, it struggles if I hit the fingerprint sensor.
Just throwing it out there...
Hmm.. I did notice that. I'll try disabling face unlock on my phone and observe it.

fingerprint scanner works about 1 of every 5 times

Anyone else with a similar experience? That's going to make me turn it off... Or am I just doing something wrong?
The sensor isn't as big as the interface leads you to believe, try registering multiple fingerprints using the same finger. Make sure your getting the edges of your finger print too.
I'm getting it every time. Make sure you get every bit of what you'd hit the sensor with.

I'm struggling with mine too. I've done my prints a couple times and I still keep getting press harder or couldn't read. Idk if the manufacturing of these could be hit or miss.
cant even reg my thumb, not sure if my skin is too dry, my hands are a mess. back to face recog.
I took the advice and did my prints again.. (3rd time) I scanned them more to the way I angle my thumbs and fingers. I was more thorough with the scan and it's reading my prints more consistently. Thank goodness!
got the same problem here .... s10+ exynos Germany
So facial recognition is a lot quicker .... but with the missing iris scanner you`re not able to unlock your phone in the darkness anymore
I clearly face the same problem,
The captor is not verry accurate ... I'm a bit disapointed about it tbh. It was 50% of the reason why I changed, so I can use fp to unlock my phone again (at the back, next to cam is definitely not a good solution)
Just received a update for the biometrics a minute ago for my unlocked snapdragon. It's definitely improved.

I'm having issues myself 1 out of 7 times, that update hasn't shown up for me, unlocked s10+
I actually followed the video on phonescoop.com about not following the instructions, as they are slightly misleading. It works better, but in general, I don't normally use screen protectors and I can definitely tell a difference, just using the phone. Also, make sure you have Touch Sensitivity turned on in display settings, which is supposed to increase the sensitivity with a screen protector.
Anyone try to use the fingerprint reader while it's plugged in and charging? Work ok?
I struggled at first. I went to software updates hoping to find one. Sure enough an update was there after I promoted it to search. It was better but still not 100%. Today however, I just realized it's been 100%. I attribute utter to me learning how to place my finger accurately. I think that's the biggest issue now. Is you need to just learn how it works.
Does anyone have an issue as the one in the screenshot
Like when trying to unlock using fingerprint we have the thumb impression over the ripple effect

Having no issues. Just did it.
Mine has failed to unlock with fingerprint a total of 1 time since I got it. Make sure to add the finger you plan on using twice and in the way that you will be comfortably using it usually. Also make sure to move your finger around when saving it, try to catch all the edges.

oh cool thanks for the info =)
The update I received yesterday was completely separate from the usual software update. It was a notification for update to just the biometrics after that it worked a lot better.
THere's something that you can do to make a massive improvement, after you get the software update that improves the fingerprint scanner. It worked for me.
Delete your fingerprints. Reboot into recovery, and delete the cache partition.
Then go back and add your fingerpritns again. Do it twice. Add two fingerprint profiles using the same finger.
For me, this changed it from being slow, and difficult to scan, to instant, and only needing to press my thumb very lightly.

Issue with fingerprint scanner

Hi guys,
I noticed that the fingerprint scanner practically match the fingerprint once in twenty attempts. Phone at the moment is 1 month old, and I have installed the MIUI 10.3.10, respect to previous release the situation has worsened significantly, Anyone suffer of the same issue?
No it works very well, you have to register 2 or 3 times your principal fingerprint (wich one with very clean finger for exemple and others with normal dirt). And if you use screenprotector, register after installing !
I confirm it sucks. Either works or not on global 10.3.10. Mostly works when you at your desk, but in real life scenarios, outside, etc, it frustrates me not being able to open my phone!
I can also confirm that fingerprint is really bad. My previous phone unlocked instantly in 99% but 9T takes loooong time to recognize fingerprint and it does it in 40%.
Yeah, I returned the device because it was so frustrating (not to mention the wifi was not reliable either..). Thought I liked the phone, I will buy only one with ultrasonic/normal FP sensor till the tech is matured enough
I don't like this scanner too... On Oppo Reno was ages better. Also seems like it goes on stand-by, if I unlok after some time it is slow, but if I relock and unlock again it is faster. Same for popup camera
Mi 9SE a manage fingerprint settings disappeared
I really dont understand what going wrong, on my Mi 9SE a manage fingerprint settings disappeared at all.
I did update to last version it didn't help, downgraded to previous version didnt help, wipe data and reset didnt help ...
Any ideas?
i have the same, i have to keep my finger there forever to unlock, so its able to unlock but just needs a lot of time.

The tech is new so the software sucks atm.
Some say that in MIUI 11 it is fixed.
I have the issue, after a few days/weeks the fingerprint dont work. So i have to delete the fingerprint and rescan. It works perfectly again for a few days. Any solutions? Yes, I use tempered glass.
Have you registered atleast 3 fingerprints for each finger and use the rhythm animation (makes it faster)
Also heard with tempered glass and the residual oils from your finger get onto the tempered glass and over time, the green light from the scanner difracts more and increases likelyhood of incorrect reading of finger print. If you're using a tempered glass then i suggest cleaning with isopropyl alcohol ever few days to remove the oils to avoid diffraction failure or get rid of the tempered glass.

Guys you should understand that this is new technology and the way it works it's awesome, as for the protection screen you should feel and understand the way it works if you place tempered glass, imagine that the scanner is beneath the glass already and it is darkened by itself and if you put another glass on the top of it that will be double glass so the scanner array has to pass through 2 glasses to scan your fingerprint, if you place FP on dirty screen or if your FP might be smudged then it is blinded effect for the scanner. And the other issue if you place the protection screen of low quality that can mess it up as well. When you are saving your FP try to press it a bit harder on the screen so that the scanner can photograph it more clear.

Sorry... but you are not quite right. Yes, it works superb... with light and without any glass.
It works mediocre on low light... and almost none with tempered glass and low light.
For a top performance device, it's pretty pretty BAD!
Worst: I've wrote to Xiaomi Support, want to know what answer I received? None, absolutelly None.

But it works very good after i rescan my fingerprint. But the fingerprint is just a camera under the display....So I dont think there is an issue with the tempered glass....MIUI11 doesnt bring any better updates for the fingerprintsensor
Updated and summarized in the next post
MIUI Global 11.0.3.0 Stable
No screen protector of any kind.
Fully new phone, three or for weeks old, not carried around (TG, I have another and better daily driver), just sitting on the table the whole day
I've never seen a mobile phone with such a useless and sh...ty fingerprint recognition
If I add two fingers (thumb and index), there is almost no way it will recognize one or the other
Only if I define the same finger five times, as five fingers (maximum number allowed), there a chance it will recognize but still I usually have to try two times or sometimes even more (sometimes I have to enter the pin eventually)
I tried by several times by deleting fingerprint and defining again, but still not reliable
Btw there was no better with MIUI 10, and no improvement upon upgraded (three weeks ago) to MIUI 11 - same sh...t

Besides, Smart unlock does not work either
Xiaomi provides only one option, Trusted (Bluetooth) devices - but I tried with three BT sets, and cannot add any of them under the Trusted devices list (although phone recognizes them, pairs with and e.g. plays music over those BT speakers or communicates with the BT smart bracelet)
The other three Smart unlock options are completely missing: Trusted places, Voice match and On body detection

Edit: Gloves mode is also missing (ofc, not for fingerprint, but once unlocked eg by face, for further touchscreen actions in the winter

There was no better upon OTA to 11.0.4 QFJEUXM but after unlocking Bootloader (maybe due to its hard reset), Fingerprint scanner now finally works pretty fine for me
Two fingers registered, almost always (still, not really always) unlocking on the first attempt
This scanner takes picture of your finger so in low light or dirty wet fingrer it becomes slow or miss to read finger. This is fine in good light and warm weather

While I don't doubt you have a problem, I am on the same release of firmware and mine works close to 100% of the time with no problems. The only thing I can think of is a manufacturing problem that you have that I was lucky enough not to get.
