Hello folks,
we all know that the le max 2 has certain software if not hardware issues regarding its fingerprint sensor. Although my fingerprint sensor is hard wired properly ,we all agree that our experience regarding its software is mediocre at best,its slow sluggish and sometimes becomes totally unresponsive.
Okay,so long story short iam here to tell about my workound and surprisingly its working quite well.
First of all if ur sensor is dead or having any other hardware issues this probably ain't gonna work iam sorry !
Okay,So we have option for registering atmost 3 different fingerprints as of now,what i did was i registered my same index finger twice as different fingers and WALLAH ! Its accuracy and responsiveness almost DOUBLED, and now for me its working as fast as any other fingerprint sensor in the market.
I hope this information may help u guys and please let me know the status in the comments.
Thank you. :good:

Yes a little bit fast and accuracy
Taking inspiration from this idea, I did the following,
Calibrate afresh,
Restart phone
Use left index finger (for right handers)
Add all 3 FPs using this same finger.
For first capture use straight vertical,
second capture, upside vertical.
For third capture, use your finger at varying angles over whole 360 degrees!
It works much better after that!
Guys this is just a practical work around. I agree the FP sensor otherwise is a bit dicey in this phone. Have used LE 1S and it's FP works lightening fast, even after many months of usage.

Yeah ! Was thinking about it ,gonna test that too.
It works a bit better but still not perfect. I am on 19s India one.
Wow, worked like a charm!
I can confirm, it works. Thank you for the tip.
How many FP can you guys register?
I remember EUI 5.6 was alowing about 4, then EUI 5.8 only 3. Now I'm on CM13 S19 by ParasiTe_RemiX and it has 5 FP.
Any idea if on EUI 5.9 is something improved (no of FP and accuracy)?
Hi, i'm ony CM13 s19 by parasite (umbrella) and it's 5 fp
But this hack doesn't work for me
I set 2 finger for the right and 3 for the left
for the right everything work fine
for the left, i don't know wtf maybe my fp isn't that good ?? LOL
hello all I too have problems with the fingerprinting of Rom lemax 2 cuoco92 20s, after a minute timeout me try again is probably a software problem, I'd contact cuoco92 to ask him if he can release a pach but do not know how to do.
LE X2 X820-CN-FN-FEXCNFN5902012151S-5
I installed the original rom ut my smartphone it's not the fingerprint scanner
Currently running a version of CM13 and the sensor is quicker than stock anyway. Did this little hack just to be sure tho ?
Think EUI really slows down the scanner ?

Hi.
Ever since I own the S7 Edge I'm facing a strange behavior with the fingerprint scanner.
I used all slots for fingerprints. Every slot for a separate finger.
Now the precision of the recognition is fine only for a few days, then I'm facing the same problem. An error-prone. With increased regularity I have try 2-3... times to unlock the device with my finger (most of the time I use the thumb).
After deleting and imputing the fingerprints again it works fine again for a few days. Till next time.
I already flashed another stock ROM for another reason but it didn't change the behavior.
Anyone facing the same problem?
Best. Misspelling. Ever.
Gotta agree, fingerprint lockscreen worked flawlessly first few days, but ever since I'm finding it more and more difficult to unlock the phone. Weird.

Only thing I can think of is the basics. Make sure you're on the latest firmware for your device (use Samsung's Smart Switch software to install the latest factor rom, if available in your country). Also, some people have reported improved fingerprint accuracy by enabling Good Lock.

I'm already on the latest German multi-rom. As I said noticed the problem before flashing this ROM to my 935FD.
I installed Good Lock a few weeks ago but had several problems like the color settings eg. Maybe I'll give it a try
in later versions. Also I don't use TW I like Google Now Launcher the best.
Hm. But it seems I'm not the only one. So maybe there will be a fix in further updates.
I read in another thread that the APD1 update really messed up fingerprint recognition accuracy. Could this be the issue ?

Nope.
This issue was already present on my device with Feb firware as i got it. But yes I read this, too.
Has always worked fine for me. The only time it has trouble is if my hands/fingers are dirty.
APD1 did not mess up mine (Rooted & Xposed 935FD Stock ROM) - works waaaaaayyyyy better than my S6E
I switched from the S5 to the S7 Edge (Exynos). I've always loved the fingerprint reader in the S5. There always seemed to be someone in the IT media complaining about how poor it was, but that just never seemed to be the case for me - custom rom or stock.
I have to admit that from day 1, I've struggled with the S7. With my S5, I had a fingerprint saved for my right hand thumb, right hand thumb while holding the phone with one hand, right forefinger and also left forefinger and thumb.
With my S7, I've had to use all of the slots for my thumb and although it improves a bit with the more fingerprints I've stored, I don't find it as successful as the S5.
I haven't done any testing with both devices side by side, but only a few times a day would the S5 give me problems. I feel with the S7 that it's lucky if I get in first time. Several times a day, I have to type the PIN backup.
I initially thought that it might be just getting used to the larger device. I'm not sure. I think I'll re-do all of mine and see if I can get a better recording.
I will say that when it works, it's a LOT faster than the S5, but I'm not that concerned. I'd rather have a reliable scan that takes a bit longer to unlock, than a fast unlock rarely recognises my prints!!!
FYI, this was true before the APD1 update and also now that I'm on that version.
After updating to APD1 I had problems with finger reader. Factory reset seems to solve my problem. Now its working much better with just one finger added,instead of 4.
Hi everyone, has anyone discovered which is the best most reliable way to unlock the new galaxy? I've been playing around with iris unlock and face recognition (since the fingerprint scanner accuracy looks pretty ****, with the case that I got at least) but I'm not sure which is better or even if one is better than the other. Sometimes they're both insanely fast but some other times they take a while

I use the iris scanner trick is when unlocking look into the area of the red light unlocks in a heartbeat.
Facial recognition is easy to fool with a picture so iris scanner all the way. I have registered by iris and fingerprints for all scenarios.
Might want to register the same finger more than once. Maybe that will help.

Well you are 100% correct thanks a lot for this insane trick! Tbh I don't care much about protection, I was just looking for the fastest one that would offer protection from friends and stuff like that (for instance if I lay the phone on the table and it gets picked up by someone) but you seem to have that down, thanks a lot!

No worries mate it's the simple things that help.
love the phone, hate the unlock, moving from my S6 this is a total nightmare, i'm actually considering sacking it off its so bad. Fingprint is a faff so thats out of the window, its also impossible which most non samsung cases as they are too thick. IRIS, total waste of time, works about 1 in 50 for me, too dependant on lighting conditions, this was never going to work though was it, just a gimmick.
So we are left with location unlocking and face recog, face recog seems to be ok but its far from secure.
Another issues ive found is that if you are using a non samsung flip case and are using an auto screen lock app that triggers when you close your case, and then opens the screen when you open your case.... face recog and location recog no longer works, you are left with pin only which is also a pain.
I guess the only way to do this would be to shell out on a genuine samsung case, so thats another £35.
Its a very pretty phone but its left me feeling underwhelmed due to these and a few other issues I wont bore people with, my S6 is still a better phone in some respects.
Maybe I'm weird, but I actually like the fingerprint sensor. Especially when taking the S8 out of my pocket.
I've set both the iris and face unlocks to activate when the screen turns on, which makes them super quick, but I've been using the face unlock more because my eyes hurt when I use the iris scanner. But maybe this is just in my head. Anyone else experiencing this? The iris scanner is better because it is more secure and works in any lighting...but I think my retinas are burning
Yeah I got use to the fingerprint position.. I use both pin and fingerprint.

It can happen with iris scanner since it's using infra red light. Samsung warn us when we setup the iris scanner. You should stop using it
I tried all methods to see what's the best for me.
There are 2 modes for face recognition. One is faster, the other one is more secure. With the second one, your phone can't be fooled with a picture, video or a selfie of you. But I don't really like it because it doesn't always works, depending on light, of your position, posture, etc...
I'm left-handed, so the fingerprint sensor is not ideally positioned. But depending on how I grab my phone, it can be convinient to use it.
I think the iris scanner is the best unlocking choice. It's the most secure way to unlock a phone in the world, it's fast, can't be fooled, it works as well in full sun as at night (it doesn't need light to work, infra-red).
So I use the iris scanner and fingerprint scanner daily

Hmm, I missed the setting to make the face unlock more secure. I need to check on that. Thanks for the tip.
Iris scanner works pretty good. I registered as indicated, in medium light room away from windows, and it works perfectly in same conditions. But outside in powerful daylight, I had problems (or I was squinting more than usual )
Fingerprint scanner works pretty fine, as well. At the beginning, I had problems, but then I realized that I registered 2 vertical fingerprints, and were recognized only with the phone in that position. Erased them and re-registered in the normal holding position (slanted as you naturally grab the phone). Now works very fast, 9 times out of 10 trials.
Face recognition is the lowest security feature (my wife didn't manage to open it, though )

I don't think that setting is there in all variants. Someone posted a a screenshot of where that toggle is located in settings and when I looked there I didn't have it. I have an S8 on AT&T running the OTA update that pushed out yesterday. (G950USQU1AQD9)
I'm getting used to the fingerprint but the iris scanner actually works the majority of the time which I didn't expect. I'm not sure I like the idea of them introducing it for mobile payments though.

Yup. When do we get separate forums for the different variants?
Fingerprint. I just have the s8 face down so I do not have to hunt for scanner. Easy peasy.
Okay, I've done some observations on the scroll lag issues and here's what I know.
- It persists on 8.1 ROMs too
- It mostly affects custom ROMs
- Switching kernels does not fix it
- Max CPU and GPU does not fix it (even OC)
Here's my suspected causes:
- Our touchscreen driver is bad
- Our touchscreen panel is bad
- Included screen protector is bad (anyone have scroll lag without it?)
Tell me if you notice this too, but when I scroll with my finger in the top right edge, I get almost 0 lag when scrolling. Is it possible its the display sensitivity that isn't stable? Do you feel this too? Maybe its other areas of the screen too.
Please share your ideas and thoughts. We really want to fix this issue as the phone would be so amazing if it didn't lag EVERYWHERE.
I think it's a combination of both : bad touchscreen and bad driver's as it seems to affect both stock, Caf and Los . I did a test with an old Samsung note 4 an iPhone 5s and a Huawei p20 Pro and it seems that there are certain "gaps" in the panel that when in usage register touches with a certain latency . This and also the sub par refresh rate. Even the old iPhone/note had better touch accuracy under heavy load.
I guess this is the price you pay for a 150 euro phone. Some corner's will be cut.

I can update the drivers from another kernel. Do you get hot spots on the A1 that you can notice (for me top right very edge)?
Honestly, I've replaced my tianma display in service centre for screen retention issue, i got ilitek ones then the display is super smooth n scrolling is smooth. it's the problem withth your display ",faulty display"

Sorry for late reply. Not really hot spots or you could call them hot spots but the are in a H pattern across the display. Also touch accuracy is abysmal.
Now I've installed Flyme OS the problem still persists that and the screen becoming tottaly unresponsive. But the proximity sensor bug it's gone, so altleast that is a good thing.
If they don't fix altleast some of the bugs in 8.1 I'm goona smash this crap phone into a wall

You can replicate this lag 100% of the times with this "method", at least for me. Use your thumb with as much flesh touching the screen and then slowly drag your finger. You can notice the scroll lag in every direction.
Same with me, firstly, I thought it is bug of xiaomi rom, may be this will be fix with custom kernel and custom rom. But when custom rom came to mia1, try so many rom but laggy still there, really disapointed.
It is awkward that seem mia1 is the only xiaomi face with this issue. Redmi 5a - lowest price phone of Xiaomi is fine and MI5x same spec with mia1 doesn't have any complain about laggy scroll.

I discovered that if you have two fingers on the screen there's no lag. So use one finger and hold it, then start scrolling with your other thumb. 0 lag. It's gotta be a driver thing. I've been working on micro optimizing it but its gotta be something with the scanning frequency when there's only one finger. But frequency is a firmware thing and I dont think we can gen a firmware blob without a manufacturer tool. It's also possible it's a voltage thing (which I can set in the driver). I'll keep working on it but I think its definitely fixable.
Hey guys i dont know this problem, just bought one, does it easily notice?, how can i check it?

Im planning to move to pixel experience plus for my daily driver lavender phone, but i need to be 100% sure that there wont be any bugs or features missing?
To the people who are using Pixel Experience ROM permanently...is there anything that you lose when you move over to Pixel Experience from Stock MIUI?
If you are going to use it as a daily driver, the current PE Plus is more than enough for it, it have everything working, not the best but it does have a good SOT and Battery backup. Thing you lose compared to stock I guess will be the navigation gestures of MIUI, cuz PE Plus have the screenshot gesture (3 fingers slide), maybe the built-in App-block and of course the stock camera. But anything else than that, if you like Pixel Feel, then the ROM will be good for you for daily basics. Bugs they might happens but just minors things as it's a ROM being maintained you will be getting updates really quick.

Moved over to it yesterday after i posted this question and im loving it, you're right the SOT is way better than MIUI and just the snappiness is amazing, im using fluid gestures which brings back those nav gestures and is customizable so better than stock again!
For camera im using both ANXCamera and Gcam. Overall nothing of value is lost by switching over except i have to manually switch off my screen during calls coz the proximity sensor isnt working for some reason.
So if anyone reading this who's scared to move over, just do it. And if you're worried netflix and other services wont work, magisk has you covered

Yes I do use GCAM and ANXCamera too, also for PE Plus Magisk is always welcome, but for overall use the rom is very fluid and stable. About the proximity, is not about the ROM is RN7, somehow this sensor might fail or might work randomssly, just reboot till it work again, or some others recommend some calibration app, I don't remember the name but you can search in the PE Thread. enjoy the rom :good:

I bought a Mi 9T for around 220€ a few days ago, and although I love it so far, I can't stand MIUI. Delayed notifications, user tracking, bloatware, and so on...
I started the 168hr countdown on Sunday and I plan on unlocking the bootloader and flashing Pixel Experience next weekend.
However, I want to know if there are some features that stop working or work less well on a custom ROM. Most of all, the camera and the fingerprint scanner. Everything working alright? I know that some ROMs, on some phones, were affecting photo quality and performance. Anything like that on the Mi 9T?
Cheers!

Did you check in the ROM section, thread devoted to Pixel Experience.
Also, it would be IMO more logical to expect useful answers there, among the users of the particular ROM.
Sorry if it doesn't help
Thanks for the answer.
I don't mean any downsides to installing Pixel Experience specifically, but any ROM not based on MIUI
Can't speak for other ROMs, but with PE, things are mostly fine, including the camera. Battery seems better with an extra 1 hour screen on over 2 days usage. Except for the fingerprint scanner. On the current build, the recognition is great (no worse than on MIUI!), but fod does not work when screen is off or on AOD. However, a patch may come later this week or the next, fixing the fod on AOD.

"recognition is great (not worse than on MIUI"?!
- On MIUI is next to totally useless (or even without that "nextt")
"fod does not work when screen is off or on AOD"
- What is the use of fingerprint if it doesn't work when phone was resting (hence the screen turned off or went to AOD), I eg receive mail or WA message and want to read/reply, but fingerprint cannot unlock the screen

I started the 168hr countdown on Sunday and I plan on unlocking the bootloader and flashing Pixel Experience next weekend.
However, I want to know if there are some features that stop working or work less well on a custom ROM. Most of all, the camera and the fingerprint scanner. Everything working alright? I know that some ROMs, on some phones, were affecting photo quality and performance. Anything like that on the Mi 9T?
Cheers!

In my experience with aosp roms:
*Bluetooth audio don't resume music if a call enters
*Fingerprint recognition is far better on miui (depends on the rom, but imo miui is much better than any aosp)
*Instagram stories doesn't upload long videos (15sec +)
*Sometimes microphone is not activated on video calls (messenger, WhatsApp, duo)
*Android auto not working (except on PE and PE based roms)
