Has anyone struggled or had issues with fingerprint sensor on s24 ultra. I keep on having issues, says unable to read. Put on sensor again and keeps on locking me out.

I'm having an issue with the fingerprint sensor as well, but it's not even reading to register a new fingerprint now. Just stays at 0% and tells me that if my finger has moisture to dry my finger first or something like that.

I have same problems with unknown brand tempered glass. I found out if you dip your finger to water (or lick it lol) then use it to open the phone i have it work almost 99% of the time. I think it has issues with dry finger somehow. I have A54 and never have issues with fingerprint sensor. May be different scanning method i guess.

I have trouble with my finger print sensor without any screen protection,  I think it may be a common fault with the s24.

I think there's an issue with sensor, as no matter how many different attempts or methods you try. It always recognise after 4 or 5 attempts 🤨

Yes, same here with my S24 Ultra. Had my first glass screen protector removed. Bought another brand at a phoneshop. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I hope Samsung will adress this problem in a future update. And no, putting touch sensitivity on also does not make a difference. My S21FE did much better at this subject.

Same here, it really needs to be fixed in a coming update. Never the less i'll keep the glass protector on for safety and hope that i will be fixed by Samsung soon.

I tried protectors from several brands. Suitable for S24 Ultra. But still problem stays. I advise you to wait for an update that will fix this matter.

Confirming that your experience of making sure to scan "fat part of thumb" and multiple registrations of the thumb works for me - thank you for the tip!

In Settings / Device care / Diagnostics you can test the fingerprint sensor firsthand, as it were.
