For phase one, start by putting the meat of the finger being registered on the button for the first picture taken. Then put the finger back down and before it hits the button, roll it up on the left edge, at about a 45 degree angle, and then put it on the button, then repeat by rolling up the right edge at a 45 degree angle. Then tip up the front of the finger and place it down (not too angled up). Then start the 4 step cycle again until it states it is now ready for you to adjust your grip. At this point, put your finger down at the angle you will attempt to unlock the phone. Then move it a little here and there on the button, until it says you have success. I have had 20 straight successes, and counting. My wife has tried it and has had about a 95% success rate. Much better for her. I began during initial registration (of each) by scanning the center portion. For example thumbs (which are obviously larger) I placed the center portion of the top half, making sure that the metal ring of the home button is fully contacted. Then, folowing directions, I lifted and placed without moving the thumb much laterally. It’s not until the instructions ask you to scan edges that I moved from the center portion. I did these scans yesterday morning and they still work very reliably (I may have gotten one or two missed scans in maybe a hundred since then—pretty approaching 100% reliability).
