bigtechhater Pixel 9 here. No fingerprint functionality after a full shut down and a restart. Will try more restarts and report back.
falconeray Pixel 9 as well, fingerprint option disappeared after a system update, persisted through the first shutdown cycle, then came back after a second.
grayway2 No issue on 6th,7th and 8th gen pixels. Test models : 6a, 6, 6 pro 7, 7a 8,8 pro Unfortunately no pixels 9th in my collection to check.
Franco Second Pixel 9 with GrapheneOS at home, same issue happened, resolved after 3rd shutdown cycle.
GrapheneOS kaiproctor Are the fingerprint options completely missing or does it just not work but the options are still present?
r0bi Can confirm on a Pixel 9 with 2025030800. One full power cycle fixed it, previous restarts did not.
r0bi r0bi this problem just happened again when upgrading to 2025031400. A full power cycle successfully fixed it again.
Vladomo Can confirm, fingerprint options are completely missing after the most recent update on my Pixel 9. Multiple restarts and hard reboots have not resolved the issue. Fingerprint / biometric settings have also disappeared completely from the Security and privacy settings menu.
de0u Vladomo Multiple restarts and hard reboots have not resolved the issue. Try turning the device off and leaving it off for a while (at least five minutes)?
pizzaboy Another shutdown and boot solved the issue, thanks! It's optimizing apps again. Pixel 9, Build 2025030900
Lilac6044 A further update, the latest reboot has seen fingerprint functionality disappear again... I will see if further shutdowns fix the issue again.
Lilac6044 Lilac6044 Not sure if it is similar to yesterday, but further restarts have not returned functionality of fingerprint reader. It may return 'randomly' again, after a few more shutdowns. But it appears in my case that fingerprint functionality returning after shutting down the device yesterday was temporary. Will drop a line here again if the reader starts working again. Many thanks.
kaiproctor In the morning, my phone suddenly heated up, and the alarm sound started stuttering at the same time. I saw a black screen with the message "Phone is shutting down," and at the top, there was a toast notification (I don't remember the exact text) saying something like "Fingerprint hardware not detected." After that the p8 turned off. I let it cool down and after 20 minutes I put it on charge. It turned on with working fingerprint. This is very strange.This is the buggiest update I've ever received on a Pixel.
Bourbass I had this issue with my pixel 9, I first waited a few hours for an "auto fix" as a few posts in this thread suggested, but it didn't happen. So, I had to reboot my pixel about 8 times in a row, and it fixed the issue. No issue since but I haven't reboot my pixel yet.
