clivebaxter Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 My Xiaomi redmi 7 would never register a print to open no matter how I tried. Now the Mrs just got a Real Me C 17, same problem just will not accept any finger print. Comes up with partial or blurry message, clean lens etc, but it never works. Are we just unlucky or is there a trick to it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dmaxdan Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2021 With my phone, I just very gently tap the sensor with my finger tip several times until the setup is complete. A very gentle touch is all you need. Don't press to hard! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 If the phone allows more fingerprints set up your finger more times, plus move the finger as it won't always be in the same place. My Redmi Note 9 accepts mine straight away 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often they don't hold the finger stationary long enough before moving it slightly. Watch some Youtube videos to get a feel for the process. The rear sensor is more reliable/useful, on mid-range/low-end phones, IME, than the front-screen sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvs Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I just got a new phone and i also have problems getting the print installed. My old phone was no problem,now i tried numerous times and only partially works. Xiaomi note 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 My Galaxy J7+ works more or less. Sometimes needs another attempt. Will hardly work after shower/handwash/fatty finger. If it becomes too unreliable I repeat the registration. I use the right thumb BTW. Different finger, different result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedhump Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Clive, I'm just wondering, are you both part of a crime syndicate who burned your prints off with acid. Maybe you forgot? Have a great week ahead ???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guderian Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I have a fingerprint-activated padlock which I wanted to use on my security gate as it would be easier than rattling around in my pocket to find the key. I bought this in the UK and it was not cheap, around forty quid. You had to let it scan your fingerprint in four or five different positions as how you touched the padlock would vary in practice. The trouble was that it really needed to scan it in a hundred different positions as it still often took three or four attempts to get it to recognise my fingerprint and in the end a normal padlock and key was quicker so I gave up on it. I just got a Samsung Galaxy A7 tablet and that offers face recognition, but I haven't tried it yet. Does that work better than the fingerprint scanner?

giddyup Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I just bought my first smart phone, is using fingerprint or facial recognition just an option or mandatory? I'd prefer not to have either, just a swipe to open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok Barry Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I'm not familiar with this model, but do you HAVE to use your fingerprint as security? No PIN method, for example? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
