I have the 70 and my wife has the 50, both sensors were terrible.. 70 got an update, so think there is hope that the 50 will soon... ... View more

Worth doing the *#0*# and checking the sensor? ... View more

as a benchmark, I just unlocked it 10 times in a row with my thumbprint to check success rate.. 10/10! There is NO WAY that would have worked before the update (more like 2/10! on a luck day!). ... View more

Yep, that's the same version as mine. Post update mine is 'amazingly good' to be honest, I have found myself using the fingerprint instead of the face often, as it's that quick/reliable.    Not sure if it's any use, I have 'Touch Sensitivity' OFF in settings (Display section) and I have no screen protector fitted. ...

Are you sure you got the correct update? Did if force delete your fingerprints as part of the update?     ... View more

Bottom line, I don't think you can. You can try asking Samsung to make it a configurable option, maybe they will consider it..  ... View more

@Lou_JW wrote: Yes mine ends in U3ASH1 and I've checked for updates but it states I am up to date as of 14th October!? Differnt regions and differnet providers will be on a different update schedule (in the UK, it depends on how you bought your phone, or even I (think) what sim was in it when you first set it up. I bought mine from Samsung direct, and set it up wihtout a sim (deliberately). If you have a phone that came from a network provider, it sometimes has to wait for a provider specific build (added bloatware) - or that's how I think it works (I am no expert).. The 14th October is likely just the 'last checked' date. You will certainly know when you get the update, it pops up a message during the update to say the fingerprint functionality has been improved and all fingerprints will be deleted. I have been MOST critical of this funcitonality (and I thought it was the hardware, so would never be fixed), but it's almost perfect now, practically 100% unlock rate..  ... View more

@Yannis3 wrote: the issue is when you scan your fingerprint There is a ugly green circle effect  any solution ?   You mean this? If so, then it's normal behavour, I don't think there is any way to customize that in themes or anything, so you are stuck with it I guess.  I kinda like it, but everyone has different taste ...

Do you have the build number from  your about/sofware information page?   mine ends in ...U3ASI2 ... View more

What is the issue? ... View more

So it seems this one is finally solved!!    Great to have a fix, but this really should behave been tested and working prior to release.    A fully great phone now . ... View more

THIS COULD BE BIG NEWS!! The update deletes all fingerprints and asks you to add them again..  ... View more

Do you have a version number on that update please? ... View more

You can get an improvement by getting your finger in EXACTLY the right place each time. Imagine the sensor is 5mm wide.. ... View more

It's easy to solve; taken the bus to your nearest mobile phone retailer. Buy a new phone. Anything less won't solve this issue. ... View more

I have to say, I am the most skeptical person, but there might just be something in this! Imagine the fingerprint sensor is very small (and it might be), move finger as little as possible during registration, aim carefully with light pressure and I get 100% at the moment!! Thanks to those who suggested this!! ... View more

Thanks, will try... ... View more

Can you explain more what you mean about ginger position please? At registration, you have to move it in different ways, as it forces you to? ... View more

Oh, how long you had it? The issue does degrade over days often..  ... View more

I wonder if there are new hardware units out there? Not sure if we can tell from some model/build number. If so SAMSUNG, I want one of the newer ones please!! ... View more

I have never seen a specific corrupted message, but I have experienced them degrading over a short number of days for sure.   Currently the performace of mine is bad, rather than inoperable. Maybe works 3rd time if I am lucky...  ... View more

I just checked directly with Samsung. They only fit factory screen protector to S10 in UK not to A70.. ... View more

I am going to check this out, but I am in the UK and a number of people have commented that they do not fit factory screen protectors for the UK market. Where are you based please? ... View more

Thank you for the idea, but this was raised previously. My phone software doesn't allow it. If you don't move your finger, an error message pops up and forces you to move to different parts of the finger. I guess yours doesn't do this? ... View more

It's about time Samsung accepted that this problem exists and address it openly with some sort of remedy. Be it software or modifying and reissuing hardware. I would take a surface mounted, working, sensor over the failed in-screen sensor.  ... View more

Update after latest s/w patch. Still terrible. Degrades quickly over time. None of the 3 fingers I recorded a few days ago work anymore. ... View more

I'm in UK and I don't believe there is a factory fitted screen protector on mine. ... View more
