I used to work on diesel engines. I’d end up with different looking fingerprints all the time from grease, oil random little cuts, etc. I’d hope this tech is better able to discern fingerprints from noise. It was a little annoying.
I’ve done so much work with my hands. I thought something was wrong with my phone, my partner walked up finger on phone, opens immediately. Me, half the time I need to use the code because the fingerprint doesn’t work.
Exactly. I used to register my off hand, as that was a little less likely to get damaged.
Me too, the random little cuts are by far the worst because it can take weeks until the phone registers your fingerprint again.
It might not be. If your fingerprints are physically changing, then an accurate scanner should not recognize a fingerprint that’s changed after the fact. If anything you’re looking for a less accurate scanner to help with this issue. But a less accurate scanner could let others in your phone too.
A family member is a massage therapist and no fingerprint reader has managed to recognize their fingers. Not even the old capacitive types in the rear. They don’t even recognize there’s a fingerprint present. It’s like tapping with a wiener.
1.) Used to be a dishwasher and even the government had a hard time getting my prints.
2.) A wiener (that’s attached to a human) can actually be used and make a recognizable print on a fingerprint reader. (Not recommended for daycare workers.)
The tech has been in Samsung phones for several years, and is good enough that one’s fingerprint will read through vinyl gloves if they aren’t too scrunched up. It’s fast and decent.
Does make me wonder though, it’s a Qualcomm tech. Does that mean Google is finally going back to Qualcomm chips? The pixel modems have been trash ever since they left.
Yeah, I instinctively tried to open mine with vinyl gloves on once and immediately thought “I’m dumb, gotta take these gloves off first.” That was a good shock when it actually worked first try, much confusion…
My fellow diesel tech. Fucking yes this fucking problem right here hahaha. Skin peels a bit, little scratch or cut, got some shit on my hand to dry it out… And whole new finger print. Add this print, and once it hears it stops working again. Hahahaha fuck my life.
My galaxy s24 has been pretty spot on though, honestly works most of the time unless my hands are very dirty.
This thing is so ugly… What’s with the GIANT extended camera bar?
I preferred when it was a full squared stripe instead of trying to round the edges. Own it if your going to do that.
(As previously mentioned, it allows them to have some of the best phone cameras and let it sit flat on a table)
whatever the 7a has unlocks better with a blue disposable glove than bare hand
I can hear ultrasonic sounds. And it’s not pleasant.
Uh huh… The Oxford definition literally says that’s untue.
of or involving sound waves with a frequency above the upper limit of human hearing
Not everyone has the same hearing range (it tends to get worse as you get older, hence those ultrasonic teenager repellers that people claim are for cats). If a device is running at the very low end of what we consider ultrasound and OP can hear higher than most then maybe they can hear the sensors. I would be surprised if an ultrasonic sensor was running this low though.
Maybe you need to get checked for tinnitus, because it’s literally impossible for humans to hear that frequency of ultrasound
Not necessarily I have tinnitus but certain ultrasonic sounds I can hear that are at the lower range of ultrasonic
Can you hear electronics hum? I can, especially when it’s quiet. Doing hearing tests, I would hear when they turned on the sound, but not be able to hear the actual sound. Idk what it is, but pretty sure it’s not ultrasonic sounds.
If the size of the pixel 9 is good I’ll upgrade. Other than that I’m good.
