I installed Android and tried fingerprint sensor with both 11 and 12. It all works, so it's definitely not a hardware issue.

Since I need this I'm back on Android, it seems UT isn't for me yet

I could reinstall Android 11 and test if the fingerprint sensor works, but I'lld like to be more sure that it could be a hardware problem before spending time on that.

Is there any way to diagnose this further from within UT?

When checking dmesg, there are some messages:

init: Control message: could not find 'android.hardware.biometrics.fingerprint@2.1::IBiometricFingerprint/default' for ctl.interface_start from pid: 37 (/system/bin/hwservicemanager)

@kugiigi I installed 20.04 (stable).

I didn't test anything in Android, only verified it was Android 11 before installing UT.

Is there a way to check the sensor is responding at all?

I'm not using any SIM card, don't know if that makes any difference.

Hi,

I installed ubuntu touch on a fairphone 4. Before installation I checked it was on Android 11 (newly purchased device). Installation went fine. I'm very happy with the overall experience.

Now I wanted to add a fingerprint ID, but the screen where it says to swipe over the fingerprint reader doesn't seem to respond to any movement of my finger on the reader. Are there any known issues? I thought this would work since it's listed as such in the device information.

Thanks for any help!
