Re: Interesting observation re my problems with fingerprint recognition

2016-02-05 Thread Kimber Gardner 
I don't have a case on my phone so can't say whether that would
negatively effect the fingerprint reading. The recognition has been
pretty reliable since I started using the power button to wake up the
phone.

  Kimmer,
Place the finger you use for Touch ID on the home button. Press the
home button but leave your finger there. In theory, the phone will
unlock and you will be placed on your home screen or wherever you last
left it. What you mentioned before about pressing the power/lock
button while a finger is on the home button would also work.

Sorry you're having so much trouble,

So if your phone is locked and you place your finger on the home

anything?

Because I have to press either the home button or the button on the
side to unlock the phone regardless of whether I use the fingerprint
or enter the passcode. The pressing of some button has to come first.

I guess I'm not understanding either.

No pressing it, no moving my finger around.  I just hold my finger on the
sensor and it only takes a second or so to read it.  My index finger is
usually clean.  I know some people are eating snack food and such and get
poor results with the finger print sensor.  I figure if they can't figure
it
out for them selves that that's probably not a good idea then maybe an

do, it's usually because my finger is not clean.

Re: Interesting observation re my problems with fingerprint recognition

2016-02-04 Thread Gordan Radić 

  
  
Hi!
I don't have problems like that with my 6S Plus. It is unlocking all
the time and the errors appear only if I don't put my finger to
cover the whole sensor. Regarding the article mentioned in his
thread, it is from 2013. with the actual 5S fingerprint sensor and
it is out of date because I didn't experience he single thing
mentioned in that article. For instance, I scanned my thumb and the
point finger in the portrait position so the fingers were put
parallely with the longer side edges. I'm able to unlock my phone if
I put my fingers vertical on the sensor so it is paralel with the
bottom/top edges of the device.

Hi Kimber,

I think it may have to do how you press the home button. Especially on the new 
phones, the 6S and 6S Plus,  Touch Id is so incredibly fast and reliable that 
all you have to do is press down the home button with the finger you scanned 
and by the time you let go it's usually enough for the phone to unlock. On my 
old 5S I press the home button to wake up the phone and as I let go I continue 
to rest my thumb on the home button for about a second or a bit less and it 
unlocks for me very reliably.

Re: Interesting observation re my problems with fingerprint recognition

2016-02-04 Thread Lois Butterfield 
I agree, the 6S is super fast at recognizing a fingerprint.  It is so fast 
that if I don't want the phone to unlock, I have to use another finger to 
push the home button.  Yes, sometimes I just want to look at the new 
notifications without unlocking the phone.  It is much faster recognition 
than my previous phone.


Take care,

Re: Interesting observation re my problems with fingerprint recognition

2016-02-04 Thread Kimber Gardner 
Yes, it does.

What I was trying to say is that I have more luck with my print being
recognized if I press the power button than if I press the home
button. I hope that's clearer.

Re: Interesting observation re my problems with fingerprint recognition

2016-02-04 Thread Patti Johnson 
I updated my ipad not long after I got it and the censor went away.  
Before that I could put my finger on the home button and it would put in 
the code, now I have to type it in.
And I think my finger is clean, I'd not put a sticky finger on my 
devices, or I would hope I wouldn't, grin.

So if your phone is locked and you place your finger on the home
button, it unlocks without you having to press the home button or
anything?

Because I have to press either the home button or the button on the
side to unlock the phone regardless of whether I use the fingerprint
or enter the passcode. The pressing of some button has to come first.

I guess I'm not understanding either.
