Guys, I found that sometimes my fingerprint scanner doesn't work.
I wipe the scanner and my finger but still not detecting it.
I'm suspecting my tempered glass is too thick, maybe it somehow affect my finger coverage.
What you think?

Your tempered glass covers the finger print area? Hmm, you should get the one that does not cover the finger print area.

Anyway does this issue happens since you bought the phone or just recently? Try to re register the fingers in the app and see how. Some members have also registered the same fingers multiple times which should give the app more usable samples.

Yeah, just bought it and applied. It doesn't cover the sensor, but it is quite thick.
So it would appear as the sensor sunken a little instead of flat. You know what i mean?

Currently my setup is:
Left thumb, index, right thumb, index, and mixed left and right thumb.
Any suggestion?

I am using the Spigen Glazz SP since day 1 and till now so issues with the finger print recognition. There is a raised lip sirrounding the sensor area which gives the sensor a sunken like feeling. If you have already tried re-registering your digits and the issues are still there, then a trip to the nearest sc is the next step. They should be the experts  on this matter.

I'm not familiar with this process, but as long as the unit is under warranty, everything should be free right?

Of course, claim your warranty while possible.

Hope you get your issues sorted. And since your warranty is still valid, shouldnt costs you anything except your time and effort. All the best.

The thing is, seems like the problem only appear when my hand is sweaty/sticky.
Even if I take it to service center, it's still have to proof it to them. Sorry, newbie in claiming warranty. Haha

Firstly, finger print sensor in any phones does not work 100%/every single time. You have in fact said it that it could be your TG SP which is hampering the recognition. So, unless you are willing to change the SP to a thinner one to trouble shoot, just do it slowly each time you want to switch on the phone. Only when you are really unable to switch it on no matter how to place your finger on the sensor then only you make a warranty claim. Otherwise, do not waste a trip to the AASP. Time and effort should be used wisely.
*
Yeah I understand if it cannot works for first time but ok after 2~3 times test.
In my case, if it works fine then it will be ok.
If my first trial fails, I tried again with same or different finger, it will fail too.
After max trial time, it just request for password.
If I immediately wipe my hand and sensor then retrial, there some chances it will happens again.
But if i just leave it, maybe after 5 or 10 minutes later it will be ok again.

Yes, its no good when your fingers are sweaty/sticky. Also the the finger touch area must be totally clean for the phone to be able to read. I really appreciate the sensitivity of the iPhone. Its a joy to use and it works with all other apps that uses finger print access flawlessly on condition that your fingers are clean and dry and also that the sensor area is clear of oils, dust or grime.

My advise is to seek expert help at the nearest SC. I am sure they have their way to check and get your issues sorted out.

To be frank, I jump ship from Huawei. Maybe that's why I'm still not used to this fingerprint scanner.

yeah hopefully it's just a temporary issue and not related with hardware..

im using marble design from dbrand skins, the price is quite expensive compare to local skins but i noticed dbrand skins cut out is very good and quite thick for better protection..
[attachmentid=9061312]
of course portrait mode picture will be grainy because it using second lens with aperture f/2.8 so u need to use it in a good lighting condition... but with iOS 11, we can use portrait mode in low light condition with Flash supported
*
How much for the skin?
Won't you feel annoyed not being able to see it naked?
That's why I have 3 cases, 1 UAG for full protection, 1 slim Ringke and 1 invisible orlyz casing.

i bought 2 skins for ip7+ and op3, total if not mistaken rm100+- including postage
before this i used spigen tough armor but i stop using it since it got spiderweb marking and hard to clean it up.. but with this skins i can use it naked or slim silicone clear case... it didn't bother me.. i prefer to use skins to protect the matte paint from chipping issues that really annoyed me.. paying 4.2k for this cosmetic issue is a big no for me  bangwall.gif

Luckily I'm using gold.
Get a transparent casing, you got to enjoy it in original condition while protecting it. brows.gif

yeah u lucky to go with other colors except for matte or jet black...
transparent casing without skins will not solve the problem if u using matte or jet black iphone because small dust easily scratch or chipped the paint...
at least that happened to me before so that's why i go for a skins as a quick solution..

That beats the purpose of getting black colour. dry.gif

i'm using this full tempered glass screen protector with metal frame to prevent crack at the edges.. bought it for rm80 if not mistaken and forgot the brand  sweat.gif but for sure not popular brand la... honestly to say i don't really like the look but at least the metal frame wrap around the screen for better protection..

I'm facing delay, first time since I start using.
Updated to 11.0.3 at evening, happened just now.
I was chatting with my friend on facebook messenger, but I only hear pop up from my computer and not phone.
After 0.5-1 hour, the chat started to pop up on my phone (old convo). So annoying, I keep check my phone and find no new message.

Bug of 11.0.3 i guess. I always though this is xiaomi's (low end android) problem since I always faced it previously.
Iphone is quite good but these kind of stuff made me missed huawei. Haha

Anyone facing the issue of unable to access camera by swiping toward left on lock screen?
So annoying when I want to snap something quickly.
Happened a few times since the last OTA, and recovers by restarting.

sometimes i face the same issue as well, just gotta wait for another bigger update(such as 11.1) from apple hoping that it will fix this and some other issue  hmm.gif  hmm.gif  blush.gif

Hope so, pretty buggy recently. I guess I'll return to android once the phone is gone.

QUOTE(rai_fuzz @ Oct 18 2017, 10:11 PM)
Happens a lot. Example, once the phone is awake from lifting, it will turn off before I manage to slide camera in from right to left.
*
Mine not turn off before manage to slide it.
I can't even slide it, it won't move at all, but I could slide to the other side.

Updated to 11.1. 7Plus

One week experience got much better battery life compared to 11.0.3.
But battery life on 11.0.2 is way more better can last up until 11pm from morning full charge. damn.

Anyone tested 11.2 beta? how is it?
i'm a bit frustrated. perhaps will try to downgrade to 11.0.2
*
Upgraded to 11.2.
But the same buggy stuff still there as previous 11
Still random vibration and no notification or notification without vibration.
