June update slow finger print unlock

Yes, Google introduced that 'feature' with June update to alleviate screen flashing issues
Is this something you can change with your ambient display being on or off?
Yes, Ambient Display on will reduce the delay

The delay was deliberately increased to alleviate screen flickering issues... I don't think they will do anything about it
Ok so if the fingerprint is slow with ambient display on then this is new. So if you update you might as well turn ambient display off as I have always done to save battery. Now that the fingerprint is slow with ambient display on or off it really doesn't matter now. You have a slow fingerprint
the fingerprint sensor is 1 sec slower with both ambient display on&off.
Very very annoying

You can thank google & lg for that one!

They first introduced this in P, so I have had it for awhile. One work around is to tap the power button first, that turns on the display and then the fingerprint works faster. It feels smoother and faster. I got used to doing that pretty quickly and it seems natural now.
Agreed. However, I hate it when google takes one of the best features of our devices, makes it not as good as when we first got it, then calls it new and improved because they used a new lg panel. Oh well, that's progress.......I guess! ??
For me, even unlocking screen with power button takes longer now. Wtf...
The same delay is there for me when using the fingerprint sensor or when pressing the power button. While I've read about others having a similar issue before, I never had the delay prior to the June security update. Turning on ambient display does decrease the delay, but I'm not an ambient display user.
Thanks for the heads up on one other workaround though.
This does work, but it's not something I'm going to do. Positioning my hand to hit them both in succession is a little awkward, and takes more time than just waiting for the delay. I'm sure I'd get faster at it over time.

For once being left handed is helping me. Grabbing it with my left hand my thumb is already by the power button.
Read through the Flash Kernel thread. There has been some good discussion about it including some technical info. Yes it's intentional, and Google prolly won't do anything about changing it. Maybe down the road a dev will bake in the removal of the delay into a custom Rom and or kernel.
Turning AOD on definetly unlocks and wake the screen instantly, although previously i had it disabled.

I have never had screen flickering issues before. Is there a video on what it looks like?
