Trying out finger scanner and it's been working good for me. I encrypted SD card and then fingerprint unlock mode is greyed out with everything but input password. It appears encryption disables it's use. Is this correct??? I love using finger scanner to log into Web sites and unlock phone and it seems crazy it would be disabled with encryption enabled. Is there a work around? My understanding is android- L is stock encrypted so wonder how that will work with finger scanner. Love note 4 so far except this issue. Can someone shed any light on this and possibly work arounds.

Not exactly to the point, but how do you use finger scanner to log into web sites?
Ok, I'm struggling with this for days and it drives me crazy. After updating to APD1 my fingerprint scanner is much worse and the responsiveness sucks. It used to work well and usually it unlocked the phone on the first try. But I think because of the update it stopped working flawlessly. It doesn't read my finger so well sometimes I need to try few times to unlock the phone. There is also a block for few seconds after the fingerprint is wrongly read. I didn't have this earlier. When I tried to update my fingerprint in settings, the procedure change and now you need to read the fingerprint and take few seconds and repeat. It takes ages to add new finger.
Am I the only one with this problem? I have about 100mails with photos from cerberus because of wrongly read fingerprint.
Or maybe my scanner is broke?

Agreed I have also noticed same issue thought it was just me tho
No problem with mine. It works just as well before the update and I'm on APD1 as well.
No problem with mine as well.
No problem here either after updating to APD1. Same as before. Maybe you should wipe all your fingerprint and record it again.
My wifes s7 is having a problem and she locks herself out alot. My s7e is working amazing. Maybe one fail a day but its my error not the phone.
tapped on #datbombv7EchoRom
it only looks like yours mine is fien too
I have a nexus 6p 32GB phone running MultiROM with Dirty Unicorn as the base ROM and Screwed as a secondary ROM. I have not found anything thus far but wanted to know if there a way to get the finger print scanner to work with the screwed ROM?
Fingerprint scanner doesn't work on second ROM.
I just updated to Nougat and after a few hours my fingerprint scanner starts acting really weird. Sometimes it picks up my finger but takes a few seconds to unlock and other times it just doesn't work (no haptic feed back at all). A reboot fixes it for a bit but it eventually starts acting up again. Anyone else experiencing this? I have seen similar issues in the past on MM but never had this problem until today. Also didn't find any fixes (besides other people saying to reboot).
+1 for the delayed unlock. You're not alone. Many others have reported the same problem post Nougat update.
You're not alone. I observed delays as well, especially after the Nougat update
I haven't noticed a change, but have read that if you change the following it should improve
Settings>Developer Options>Animator Duration Scale = .5x
My fingerprint scanner is almost instant.
You can also try installing Ninja kernel. The fingerprint scanner works using the big cluster instead of the little like the stock kernel. My fingerprint scanner is almost instant with this setup.
Hello all.
I have a problem with the fingerprint recognition.
I have an s7 edge with the exynos cpu and with the latest official rom.
When I first set the fingerprints up, they work flawlessly for about a month. After the first month, the recognition of my fingerprints starts getting worse and worse and it ends up all most not recognizing them at all. (Success rate of 1/20 or worse).
I delete all of the fingerprints and set them up again from scratch. I even try to put my finger in different ways and positions on the sensor but the problem persists. The first month everything works great and then chaos.
The only thing I haven't tried yet is factory defaults because setting everything up on the phone again is a pita.
Any suggestions?
If setting fingerprints from scratch helps and they are recognised at first, think about your fingers. Maybe due to the nature of your daily job, your finger skin changes, making it difficult to recognised after so long.
i've had the same issue on stock rom, so maybe try custom? for me stock wasnt unblocking too often with finger, so after going to custom I was surprised by how well it works
