My fingerprint scanner in almost 50% of casses not responding when pulling the phone out of my pocket, or when on table after some ideal time.
I read that there was a similar complains in older versions of 1+, but it seems that this issue returned back, or at least for me.

Anybody facing the same issue? Any solutions for this?

P.S.
Home button works perfectly, I'm on OOS 4.5.5, rooted.

Turn off pocket mode in advanced settings.

I prefer to leave it on to prevent pocket dials though.
Yea, I confirm that it worked, however this causing a different issue : everytime I am picking out the phone from my pocket, it shows "too many tries...", and I am forced to enter pin code everytime :(

That's because that's what Pocket Mode does, prevents you from using the phone while it's in your pocket, so your leg pressing the sensor doesn't use up all your tries. Disabling it would, if you didn't use all your tries, allow you to unlock it while pulling it out of your pocket. Leaving it on, if you are consistently using all your tries, would probably be faster
