How to use the fingerprint sensor?

[Renato_Pontefice]

Hi,
I’m not able to use it to unlock the screen.
Do you have some suggestion to best store and use the fingerprint digit?
Because I think the prob could be:
or I store bad the fingerprint digit
or I try to use it again bad

Any Idea?

TIA

A few tips given by a forum member:

@Sideness

A few tips that makes things better:
-I found that pressing the sensor for a longer time works better. I had the habit from my previous phone to put my finger on the sensor and immediately taking it away. This sensor need to be pressed for 1 or 2 solid seconds to work better.
-You need clean and dry hands. The slightest layer of grease makes the sensor unusable.
-I clean the sensor once a week with the same piece of cloth I use to clean my glasses
-The less fingers you registered, to quicker the detection is. Try only registering 2 or 3 fingers.

You should also try to turn your finger as much as possible on the fingerprint reader when saving it so that it recognizes fully your finger.

Otherwise, if you have a very low recognition rate, you may have a faulty sensor. Then you should contactsupport.

“maybe” I found the solution
I’ve found that the angle of finger-digit, is to much important.
maybe, the problem is this.

I’ve changed the hand with whom I store the finger prints.

And I’ve store (less or more)the position of my hand in the moment I made the finger print.

I thought that the position (angle) was non so important.

Record different parts of your finger: plain middle, slightly rotated to side, slightly shifted towards the tip…
Record the same finger several times in different conditions: normal, sweaty, in the cold…
The idea is to cover as many real-world situations as possible.
