Bought this phone last week. Wish I knew that the biometric sensor does not work properly,  I would have never bought this phone.  I was a midrange mobile user and wasn't expecting  this from SAMSUNG in premium series phone. Plz fix this issue as it is very annoying  in front of someone  if ur biometrics doesn't  work. 

Please  note that I have not put any temper etc on phone.

1.Register Each Print Twice

More may not always be better, but it's undoubtedly better to have multiple registrations of the same finger. Registering each finger twice gives the phone more data to compare each scan to, and will increase unlock success rates. Be sure to use different angles when registering.

2. Keep the Fingerprint Reader Awake

Typically, the fingerprint reader isn't always scanning for presses. It's an obvious battery saving feature. This means that, particularly when the display is off, the unlocking process first has the phone wake up the scanning activity before anything. By keeping the activity awake, it likely shaves off some time from the total unlocking process.

It's easy to do.
