Please help me to solve this issue.
Try this step again, Go to Settings > About Phone > All specs, tap kernel version many times, test fingerprint sensor. Visit the service center if the test fails or install android 11 new version.
I'm sure this is a software problem. I've never been this careful with a phone in my life and I also have the same problem. Unless the update somehow tucked with the motherboard idk. But my best option is to wait for another update to roll out

I bought this phone and after some months i faced this stupid issue too. I've been very careful but had to send the phone to a service center. They said that they changed the fingerptint sensor. Since then no more fingerprint issues...
Same thing with me, it was hardware. After only 6 months of use, I had to send it to a repair service under warranty. So far I had no issues with the sensor.
same here, fingerprint sensor is missing from menus. I will send it to a repair service.
Well it seems the only solution is to send to repair and i think warranty will cover that.. Seems like factory problem :/
But I don't care anymore, since if i send it, it would take maybe 1-2 months, so during that period i would be without phone..
Possible fingerprint sensor flex cable damage. Try restarting your phone while gently pressing around finger print sensor.
this is not a software issiue i have the same issiue and i changed the sensor 7 months later it still works great
I was also careful with my phone and after 3 months of buying it, the fingerprint unlock option disappeared. I couldn't find any solution and tried everything I could. In the end, I took it to a repair shop and they told me that the cable connecting the fingerprint sensor to the motherboard was damaged. They said it was due to a design flaw by Xiaomi. I would recommend you doing the same thing if the rest of things dont work.
The same problem started for me. I had used it very carefully until this time. As you mentioned, it seems to be a chronic problem. When I did some research, many people mentioned that it was fixed with a software update. My sensor disappeared a few days after the last security patch. It could be a coincidence, of course. For now, I am waiting for the upcoming MIUI 14 update instead of sending it to any service. I hope it solves the problem or I will probably send it to the service.

Unfortunaly its hardware problem bro. Button needs replacement , and there is no guarantee how much time will work even replaced. I hate to send to official repair shop, as it will takes weeks, and i have no spare phone. So i just use double tap to turn on the screen aswell to turn off the screen on display

Hello everyone,
Since yesterday i have been experiencing ghost touches on the top part of my screen., and it keeps increasing. I have not been able to find a solution uptil now.
I am prism barebone Rom (Stock). I was using google launcher, tried removing it, but not of much help.
I am not able to understand whether its a Software issue or a Hardware issue. Should i take this to Asus, i am already rooted, so wonder whether they would help or not.
if you got your device bootloader unlocked , your warranty void but i think there is some article how to getyour bootloader relocked but idk i havent got my device unlocked yet. but another story if you havent done anything to your device, just bring it to asus and get repaired

I am also a prism barebone user and I have the same ghost touch problem time to time. I started noticing this after I received my last update (165).
My bootloader is unlocked and there is no way to relock the bootloader (except flashing the dark splash screen to make it appears to be locked) as such I can not repair my device with warranty. I could do out of pocket repair though.
I did search on xda , internet and found so many postings without any proper solution except send it back to Asus repair service. (Asus changes the digitzer part)
Here is what I found.
1. The Ghost touch (it also called Phantom touch) started noticing around December 2015, after taking the last update. So it could be software related. Asus has aware of this problem and we are hoping that the next update would fix this problem.
2. Everybody who had their warranty repair said that the problem was fixed. So it could be hardware related.
- Some said that they download and flashed the latest firmware and it solved the problem.
- Some said that they replaced the ZenUI with Google launcher and it solved the problem.
Here is one I thought it is useful so I copied it to my note pad. I did not copied the name of the original writer so I don 't know who wrote it.
"For millions of ASUS Zenfone users having Ghosh Touch issue there are 2 temporary solutions you may try:
i) Slightly Bend your Zenfone towards front and back - this should instantly solve your ghost touch issue but only temporarily (be very cautious while bending your phone as excessive bending may damage your screen)
ii) Do Not Keep your mobile phone in the pockets of your trousers as it may again bend your phone and cause ghost touches
iii) Even if the ghost touch is fixed try running the SMMI Test (Touch screen Test - draw a big 'S' from top to bottom of the screen and repeat it from left to right side of the screen) frequently to find if it is really a hardware issue, while testing you may find sometimes the tests are passing while sometimes the tests are failing. If the Tests fails frequently please take it to local ASUS authorized service center immediately for a hardware fix, take screen shots of the tests before visiting the place. "
I used to have screen and phone cover. I took those off .
I no longer put the phone in my trouser pocket.
I did bend the phone sometime.
I am waiting for the next Asus update.

Hmm....i too looked it up and found that it could be software related.
So just for testing purposes, i have started using a custom rom. Uptil now i havent faced the ghosting issue. I will also try the methods you have listed.
I have a back cover that is pretty tight and a tempered glass. Will try removing those too.
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
In settings there is a setting to increase screen sensitivity if you are wearing gloves. Have you made sure this is unticked?

Yes, i did check it. It was unticked.
BTW i am cm13 now, and havent noticed any of the ghost touches for some time.
But now they are back. I assume it is hardware related now. Going to take it to asus.

i encountered the problem, i replaced asus launcher with nova launcher and problem was resolved
Anyone having issues with their autofocus? Mine seems completely busted - not sure if it is just a hardware defect or something that has popped up through repeated flashing. Camera was great out of the box, but over the past month, I've had several issues with AF getting a clear lock on something and recently regardless of being on stock OOS (3.1.2, 3.2.4, 3.5.2, etc.) or one of the many roms hosted here my screen jumps back and forth, zooms in and out and fails to get a proper lock. Frustrating as can be - debating switching away from OP3 given the camera has become useless - any recommendations or anyone sharing this issue?
I haven't experienced any focus issues yet, but if the problem is identical regardless of the software driving it, I'd say there is something hardware-related at fault. Are you only using stock camera apps, or have you tried 3rd party camera apps and get the same thing?

Same across the board. Tried going back to 3.1.x versions, up to 3.5.2 CB, over to the CM and AOSP-roms in the hopes something would stick but it's terrible all around. Went as far as doing complete wipe and factory reset to potentially clear out any profiles stored on internal memory but still having issues. Took me 4 minutes today to take picture of grocery list for my wife - would not focus on text regardless of how close/far I moved the paper. Have session with 'remote tech support' for OP3 on Wednesday as if that's going to do anything...

This pretty much sums it up right here - video not made by me, but after checking company forums and doing quick search for oneplus 3 camera focus this popped up - https://vimeo.com/182588240 - exact problem I'm having.

Once they identified it as autofocus they didn't try to say it was software, they replaced no problem?
He told that in the beginning.I told him I wiped dalvik cache and stuff.He didn't believe it was a hardware issue,He then formatted the phone....The result was same! He ordered the camera on Thursday...I got the phone on next Saturday The camera has to come all the way from China!
Actually many people are facing this issue..
So.... just go the OS 4.5 and autofocus issue still not fixed..... How come they don't even answer when the issue is reported by so many people...
It occurred suddenly from one day to the next...
I had same issue. Auto focus progressively got worse. Issue was camera OIS.
Replaced the camera myself and back to normal. Cost about £15 for camera and tools and takes about 30 minutes to replace.
i'm not happy with my device anymore thanks to this issue, oneplus don't want to respond because they know that this is a hardware bug, i am not going to buy any other chinese trash in my life again, i miss my iphone ....

So...
After trying many things (3rd part apps, hoped for a fix with 4.5.0 or 4.5.1 OS updates but nothing, a hard reset, then a factory reset) I hoped that OP Service center would repair the phone that became unusable due to blurriness.... It was sent to Arvato service team in Czech Republic (I am in Sweden).
And then after a few days I learned about this "no partial repair" policy... They will fix the autofocus (no problem, under warranty) without saying what the issue is because.... my OP3 has a small crack on a corner of the screen and it enough for the Arvato service team to say that the screen needs to be replaced (not under warranty) because they don't do partial repair...
Even if the crack has nothing to do with the issue and repairing the screen is totally irrelevant in the matter, I am forced to pay these 110 EUR to get my phone back with a functional autofocus... (Option 2 is to pay 50 EUR to get it back not repaired and Option 3: Scrap the phone for free :cyclops: )
After doing some quick search I found out that this way of doing is common in the branch.... If they all do it, I guess it's not illegal.... quite unbelievable how the customers are handled... You learn everyday, isn't it?
Yes my fingerprint scanner has stopped working altogether after getting my motherboard replaced by lenovo authorised service center.when i approached them about it they fixed it temporarily for a week at the maximum but then again the fingerprint stopped working altogether.then i then got extremely angry about it ( cause the service center is too far from my house and i travel by bus).this is dissapointing at the least as an authorised service center does this to you .This was my first experience with lenovo authorised service center and it will be the last one.does anyone know how to fix this issue or should i have to change the existing fingerprint scanner.
Don't bother to change it. Some models, like mine, have this issue. The fingerprint itself is not broken, is temporarily not working. This time can vary from days to months. Mine is now not working since 1 month.
I do not rely on it anymore. I would say that this is the only back stain of this phone.
You can google it for yourself, unfortunately is quite a common issue.

The problem started after I got my motherboard changed and that too by official lenov guys.I am suffering without a fingerprint for almost 9 months and have to use password Everytime .
Found the fix to the problem .I just installed havoc os 3.1 28 the Jan update and voila fingerprint started working.man I'm so happy .all these days I was blaming Lenovo officials although it actually had stopped working after I got my motherboard changed.

I guess i got it fixed .I literally put sanitizer on my fingerprint scanner and voila it started working.Dont ask me why I used sanitizer,I just saw it lying on my desk(corona virus effect) and thought why not use it.try this once maybe it might work for you.you need to rub all over your fingerprint scanner.
Hello. Since few days I've experienced some issues with my LG G7. Fingerprint scanner seems stop to work sometimes, sometimes it works fine. Doctor shows same results - sometimes "good" sometimes "wrong". Any chance to repair it by myself? Or I need to ask support center for help?

I've had the same issue. I know how frustrating it can be especially if like me you use it to unlock everything. All I can tell you is for me restarting the phone solves the problem. It eventually stops working again after a couple of months. A friend of mine has a G7 and hers did it too. Do not try and fix it yourself. Contact support. If you bought your phone new remember LG started offering 2 year warrenties with their phones so if you fall into that category take advantage of it and Contact LG. If that's not an option keep an eye out for open enrollment insurance. Insurance is normally something you have to get when buying the phone, but I know Sprint, T Mobile, and several MVNO's will offer open enrollment periods for about a month for existing customers. If by chance you get enrolled pay at least one bill then contact about the issue and insurance will cover it. I'm just sticking with the reboot fix for now. It's been 2 months and no problems.
i have same exact problem any solution without reboot you have found.
Nothing works to solve it for me now. Fingerprint unlock works about 10% of the time - always random.
LG hardware is garbage. Never again - 3 devices all failed or failing
I disabled all fingerprint login options for all apps that i installed from Google Play (Mobile Bank, PayPal app, App for paying with NFC, Mobile Operator App, etc.) and for now it works without problems.
Mine is Fixed.
Hi All,
I had the same issue where my phone would intermittently detect my fingerprints. This was painful & frustrating, to say the least.
For other issues with the phone, I had to format the phone, that seems to have done the trick. My phone now detects my fingerprint as it did before. I am not sure what the issue may have been but if you are really frustrated with the scanner not working, you may want to give this a shot.
Hi there,
A few days ago my fingerprint scanner just stopt working.
So does anyone know what is going on and if I can repare this problem easily?
*#*#64663#*#* use this code to test the fingerprint hardware.
Input it in the dial in the phone app.
I had the same issue for quite awhile, a factory reset seemed to have sorted the issue but it started to be hit and miss again not long after. I've replaced it with the X3 Pro now so don't know if it's returned full time.
Oh, maybe just take it in for repair and see what their opinion on it is.
Is actually very easy to replace the FP scanber in this device and AliExpress has the part for sale
Best get it repaired at an authorized dealer....
Unless getting fake stuff from aliexpress :/
