Hi to all this is my first day with Samsung Galaxy s9 plus and I'm having problem with Fingerprint sensor... After restart works for 5 to 10 times... After that stop working and a message appears that "Fingerprint sensor stop working) and need reboot to work again for some times and the same...
I haven't done a factory reset yet because I have just finish set up
Is there anyone with same problem in s9, s9+, or s8, NOTE 8 series?

No Issues at all.
I've been using mine since morning without any issue. Try a factory reset

That's weird I'd replace it, I have the device since the 7th, no fps error
Yes , if the problem remain with no update from samsung side , I will ask for replacement for sure , especially the device is new and there is no sufficient reviews of the device to see of this problem is common of just single cases .. :(

Yes you will loose all your data...

Here in Europe Exynos version in a Greek mobile forum we are 3 people with the same Fingerprint problem... So this must be firmware bug and not hardware...
Try this and see how it going...
Go to Fingerprint settings, desable Fingerprint gestures, delete all Fingerprints, restart phone, go again to Fingerprint settings, put 4 Fingerprints (I put 2 times the same finger for left and right hand), check if works, restart phone, go to dialer and call "*#0*#" service menu, go to sensors, Fingerprint and click on normal, when finish (all "pass") go back, restart phone and check if everything is OK.... There's be 1,5 day without having any problems

galaxy s9 problem with fingerprint reader

Hi,


I also have a problem with the reader. What time does it stop working. resetting the factory settings does not help. You will have to go to the Samsung service

I confirm that. I had the issue yesterday, have disabled finger print gestures and everything's fine so far...

I think its more of software related issue and needs an update. For the moment, just disable the fingerprint gesture it should work fine.


hi, there's a dual sim sgs version of 9, 64 GB. the reader works as he wants. it works a few times and in a moment it stops working. over and over again. I restored the factory settings and it started working but after two hours it stopped working again. Updates are currently being made.

    Checking in from Romania (Exynos). I have fingerprint gestures on (can't live without it). Like other people said here, the problem only shows up after a call that lasts longer than a minute or so, only when the other person answers the phone. However, keeping my finger on the sensor during the call is not required.

    Wherever you are, please try contacting Samsung about it. That's the only way we'll get a fix.

    It was suggested above. I have had no further problems yet but it's far too early to tell.

    After the update it works with the finger gesture on.why would you buy a 1000$ and then not being able to use 100% of his capacity?

    I have exactly the same error on my S9 Plus. Im not geeting any error messages anywhere, gestures off, tried to delete my exising fingerprint and as the sensor is not working at all I am not able to add any new fingerprint anymore.
    Reboot, reset - none of it works. The reset test states the same one FAIL result, exactly as you mention, all other test reported as PASS .
    My S9 Plus is a single sim type, czech Vodafone unlocked (VDC), current fw: G965FXXU2BRGA
