ROG 3 fingerprint sensor is worthless

[markovo]

We all know under display fingerprint sensors are not great, but ROG 3s is exceptionally bad. I mean it doesn't even work 90% of the time. For the other 10% it takes ages to unlock. I have tried all my fingers and positions. It works only if you place the finger on the exactly same position you set it in the first place and even then it takes 1-2 seconds to unlock. Thank god there is face unlock that works.

never had such an issue. did you cover the white circle light with your finger? during the setup, did you shift your fingers around? i only registered 1 finger, and its working fine

I will try registering 1 finger several times. Let's see what happens.

As a right hand User...I have 4 different Fingers registered. Both Index Fingers left+right hand if the Phone lies on a table and also both thumbs and my right thumb is two Times registered, it run's perfectly!! Also can't confirm any issue here.
Stupid sentence: but maybe you also should clean your Display regular??? I do, and I also have the original Asus Screen Protector. No issue's here.

I have added some more fingers, but I am still not happy with the speed that the sensor works nor with its accuracy. It just needs perfect finger placement and even then the phone unlocks after a second. My old ZTE Axon 7 is times faster and more accurate.

mine works 99/100 times instantly, it just sounds like your phone has an issue

Not quite, while mine also works 99% of the time I have seen certain people who still have issues with it. It really depends how clean your fingers are, how thick or thin they are and how damaged or healed they are. If you work in some physical demanding workplace chances are the fingerprint will be way more of a hassle.
