have a problem with that tablet fingerprint sensor, it works when it wants and after a while the fingerprint sensor stops working. Even the menu settings disappears, fingerprint ID is gone when I restart the effect is zero only when I reset the factors it works but after a while the fingerprint sensor refuses to work again. Does anyone has the same problem? What should I do?
Same problem here.
The fingerprint sensor stops working and disappears in configuration. After several rebooted it reappears. There seems to be no pattern.

If you are on root with magisk try disable in settings "magisk hide".

Using Enpass with fingerprint enabled and if I am in the app and the screen times out before I exit the app the fingerprint sensor stops working.
Not sure if this is because of the March update but I do not remember ever having this issue prior to it.
I have an issue with my phone the proximity sensor is not working, I had stock firmware when this begins and the rotation sensor also didn't wor, I have tried with another custom ROM that fixed rotation sensor but the proximity sensor still have the problem, I have installed the official firmware but I still have the rotation and proximity sensors with error, right now I have Dirty Unicorns ROM and the rotation sensor is OK, but the proximity sensor not.
PD: I never had dropped my phone or wet or anything I take care of my phone a lot.
PLASE HELP ME! :crying:

My proximity sensor is also ****ed up, very annoying when on a call and my cheek keeps activating stuff on the phone .
Hi, so I enabled fingerprint gestures in Settings and there will be times when the sensor and gesture won't work. I would have to either restart my phone or disable then enable gestures again for it to work. I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a poor fingerprint sensor on the S8. Anyone else having this same issue and know of a permanent fix? I contacted Samsung and all they said was to clear the fingerprint sensor cache and if that don't work try in safe mode then factory reset if necessary.

Are you talking about Notification Swipe?

Yes.
Seems like a faulty hardware... On mine it works flawlessly.
I place my finger over the sensor, it takes half a second and the screen turns on unlocked. Also, the gestures for the notification bar (which I don't use), work without a problem.
Try wiping everything and even flashing a new stock rom from SamMobile .
If this doesn't work, bring it back where you bought it and request a new unit.
Hi,
Whenever I pick up my (Galaxy S8) phone it unlocks the screen - this might seem to be convenient, but actually for me it isn't. This only happens when I'm at a secure location. In other locations I still have to enter my password (although the screen is still unlocked).
I believe it is some kind of setting, but I can't remember how /where to set it. Does anyone know how to turn this off?

It depends which setting you have set. For example smart lock does handle all kinds of unlocks such as, in your trusted place, trusted device and so on. Go to settings and search for smart lock and then you will see what needs to be done there.

Well, I know about smart lock. But that should just "remove" the need to enter a password, not unlock the screen when I pick up the phone.
The setting for "wear detection" (or how it's called) is already disabled. There should be another setting - something specific to samsung.

It sounds very similar to what I now get constantly after the june update, most of the time when I take the phone out of my pocket it activates the screen and tries to scan for irises. It is driving me mad, im taking it out my pocket either to check for notifications or to check the time, if I want to turn the screen on then I WILL TURN THE SCREEN ON! It never did this before the June update. In fact for it to be able to do this, it must be using the proximity sensor and/or the light sensor constantly which wont help battery.
I dont have smart lock on but I do have the "keep screen turned off" when in a dark place under display settings (which I am about to turn off to see if that helps).

Yeah, sounds very similar. I thought it was already like this before the June update, but i doing know for sure.

Ok, it seems not to be the pickup of the phone itself, but rather the home button. Apparently I always touch the home button when I pick up the phone.
But how do I turn this behavior off?

I have been using fingerprint sensor on my Oneplus6T from the beginning. I have a work profile setup on my phone and I have added fingerprint to unlock work profile apps too.
I have always felt that the fingerprint sensor does not work well with work profile. It takes atleast 6-7 tries and sometimes does not work at all. I recently found out the reason.
The fingerprint icon for work profile does not show the animation!!! Since there is no animation, the area is not lit up and hence the fingerprint does not work. This is very strange.
I checked all the settings and could not find anything. As far as I know there is now way of turning on/off the animation as it is always required for fingerprint identification.
So I am wondering why the animation is missing when it comes to work profile unlock. Have any one else faced this issue?
Fingerprint animation works perfectly fine for phone lock, app lock etc. It only fails in case of work profile
PS: I am using Oxygen OS 9.0.14
