Revision history [back]

I updated to 2.2.0.29 EA yesterday, and was going to put fingerprint sensor to good use. However when I enter the wizard, the screen which asks me to read my fingerprint several times never respons to my attempts. In CSD tool the fingerprint sensor test also fails.

According to other users, it should just work. I did use it when I was still using Android on my device. Could the fact that it may contain previous fingerprints mess up the initialisation? What kind of logs would help pinning down the issue?

Thanks!

Edit: I have cleaned the sensor (power button) and my hands, no change. I have also tried it without protective cover on, no change. I also have another Xperia X with Android still installed, and I use its fingerprint reader daily, with cover on, so I know how it should work.

Edit: I flushed the fingerprint index and database, and now it seems to work fine. Stay tuned...it worked fine for a few hours again, until it broke by itself again.

Edit: I installed Sailfish 3.0.0.5 early today, and I could add exactly one fingerprint, unlock the device it with three times, and it stopped working again. CSD test for fingerprint reader couldn't register my fingerprint. Then I shut my Xperia X down and started it up, leading to the fingerprint I added earlier today being lost. The reboot deleted my fingerprint. So, the support seems as broken as iit was with SFOSX2.
