Hi, I bought the ultra a couple of days ago and after setting it up I performed the security update and I noticed immediately that the fingerprint scanner had to be pressed a lot harder than a few moments before the update. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?Prior to the update I just tapped it and it worked fine.

Hi,
When on the samsung members page
Click on the get help button
At the bottom of the page
And run a diagnostic test
Fingerprint recognition
And see if that helps :smiling-face:

I've run the tests and everything works fine including the sensor, but on the home screen I still have to press harder than the test screen and I've logged 3 different fingers and it doesn't matter which one I use it still needs pressing harder than test screen. I've had quite a few different phones and tablets with fingerprint readers but never like this.

Tried that, doesn't make a difference, just had to login via numberplate as fingerprint said I had to wait 30 seconds before trying again.

@taxineil Hello, delete all memorized fingerprints and set up a new fingerprint again. Greetings.

@taxineil Hello, check if you have the Touch Sensitivity option activated in the Settings / Display.
