'New' fingerprint speed hack

[wj_johnson]

This is new to me, turn off the battery optimized for apps: com.samsung.android.biometric

The fingerprint scan is so quick, the screen makes the change, the fingerprint animation hasn't finished. Try it!

Placebo or not???!!

I say NOT a placebo. This seems much faster.

I knew it was faster!!!!!

Wow... I was very skeptical but still tried... Looks like it's working ~2 times faster now...

So, why doesn't Samsung have this set as "not optimised" by default?
If someone from Samsung is reading this, maybe it will get changed in an upcoming OTA but I wouldn't hold my breath...

Nice find. Much better now. Thanks a lot fot the tips

 

[stalls]

Most definitely better!

"com.samsung.android.biometric" doesn't show up in my apps list under settings . I'm using the SM-N975F/DS, which is Exynos version. Does anyone have Exynos based Note 10 who is able to change this setting?

OK, found it under "special access" , I have to search for "Optimize battery usage" in the settings search bar and then filter for All apps, then look for "com.samsung.android.biometric" and turn off battery optimization. Tried this setting, and I only notice a very slight improvement in unlocking speed. So maybe this doesn't benefit Exynos devices as much. Would like to hear others' experiences.

Wow this is fast nice find I'm on N976B 5G Note10+ Exynos

It doesn't show up when I try to go to optimize battery for some reason.

Settings menu, search for optimize, select optimize battery usage, change list to all, look for com.Samsung.biometrics.app... Uncheck it.

I think it has an effect. seems better indeed.

I wonder how this will affect battery life

 

[elogikal]

That's almost instant! I usually just plugged in my PIN bc the delay was so high. This is great. Thanks! Sprint Note10+ SM-N975U

100% not placebo. Mine slowed down noticeably after I put tempered glass on my screen - it's now just as fast as it was when I first got it.

When looking at the apps listed I see seven com.samsung. apps . I cannot expand them to see which one is for biometrics. I am missing something. Can you tell me which one it is?
Thanks

When on the full list of apps, use the search for bio; that should bring it right up.

That did it Thank You and it does seem much faster!

Definitely not a placebo affect. Nice find!

There was speculation on the Reddit thread about this potentially burning out the scanner faster. Any logic behind that theory?
