Samsung Galaxy Note 10, 10+, S10, S10+ and S105G users had been experiencing issues with the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and the company says that is happening due to the screen protectors.
According to the statement released by Samsung, the ultrasonic fingerprint sensors that unlock the aforementioned devices misread three-dimensional patterns appearing on certain silicon screen protectors as users’ fingerprint. This issue is expected to be solved via a software update, that the company will be next week.`
Meanwhile, the company advises that these devices be used without any screen protectors. They also recommend deleting the previously registered fingerprints and then re-register them afresh.
