Fingerprint misbehavin'
-
@emphrath My Volla Phone X exhibits similar behaviour. I put it down to 'accidental' touching of the fingerprint reader with a finger other than the one I use for unlocking. The phone sees this as an attemot by someone else to unlock it and draws my attention to this by insisting on PIN entry. I see it as a useful feature.

@emphrath its the same on mine. No pattern what I can see. I think "fingerprint unlock" working should be changed to partially. The same goes for bluetooth.
Dont get me wrong, Im fine with it not working 100% and I understand it too but it should not be advertised to be working. Thats all I say.Pixel 3a XL - UT stable - Daily driver
Pinephone - UT dev
Pinephone Pro - Manjaro Plasma Mobile & Mobian Phosh -
The fingerprint reader has been improved in accuracy in devel and will have the fix shipped as part of OTA-23. Problem was that it was always active in your pocket, causing the applet responsible for verifying the fingerprint to be confused.

@dizzy Don't know what you're talking about, Bluetooth works pretty well here. Please be more specific, collect logs and let us know in a proper bug report what's not working as intended.
Memories are just what the mind tells us about our actions.

@keneda Need to read a bit slower next time

@fredldotme Well, a lots of others do know what Im talking about. Just search for it here for example. The last thread about it would probably be "Sound not going through bluetooth headphones". So I would say working partially, not more.

I think you misunderstand what is meant when a feature is marked as working 100% on a ported device. It means there are no device specific issues with that feature.
There might still be OS based issues but these would be impacting all devices to a greater or lesser extent. In the case of bluetooth, part of the problem is that, being on 16.04, the bluetooth stack that is shipped on the devices does not support all of the protocols that car systems and Bluetooth speakers use. The situation could see some improvement with the rebasing on 20.04. -
@arubislander You are right, I did missunderstand that. Thanks for the explaination!
