      Jawad, 26 Nov 2019Fingerprint is not working after November 2019 Android upda... moreGuys, i found a workaround and successfully registered all 3 fingerprints. The issue lies with the Samsung's aggressive screen sensitivity controls. After trying out different combinations, the following combo works.
      Switch on touch sensitivity, switch on double tap to wake up, switch on tap to show fingerprint icon and switch off accidental touch protection.
      Now try and register the fingerprints. It may not go through at the first attempt, but if you are patient enough, you can register and successfully use all 3 sets. System will not reject.
      Points to be noted: Clean your fingers and screen each time you try. Find the right angle to touch the sensor, you will get an idea after a few touches. Don't put pressure on the sensor, all it takes is a light touch.
      NB: Don't forget to turn on accidental touch protection once you are done. Also switch off tap to show fingerprint icon option as it may cause battery drain and accidental unlock in pocket.

      Hope this helps. Please try out and let me know.

          Fingerprint is not working after November 2019 Android update, it take too much time to reach till 47% and after that it ends showing message that please clean and make sure that device is dry.

                  My phone is outright refusing to recognize my fingerprint. I'm waiting for them to release the new update.

                          I'm looking at replacing my girlfriends A5 (2017) work phone.
                          I don't know whether to go A50, A50S or wait for A51?
