Skyway thanks. Good to know there is some kind of a fix, but that's way too drastic for me. Combined with the fact that Seedvault never worked on my phone, I can't really wipe it...

Gonna keep waiting and hoping for an actual fix.

    IksNorTen same as you installed via web browser .
    I initially tried I factory reset but it didn't fix it so I did a reinstall .

        Skyway Please can you tell me a few things :

        • If I do this I'll lose all my profiles, true ?

        • How can I backup safely all my apps and files ?

        • Is it the only way ?

            IksNorTen it will be like a new install , yes .
            I had to backup my files , pictures, individually via desktop . texts , call logs and contacts via SMS import export app. Signal has a built in backup feature . as for other apps you will have to see what's offered . seedvault is useless.

                IksNorTen Before you go erasing your entire device, you might want to cross reference what your read on here. I'm not saying it won't solve the issue, but I haven't seen any proof. Just because someone somewhere is claiming they're not experiencing it after reinstalling OS is nothing to go by. I don't experience it for days at a time until I do.

                    Skyway No, with Android 14 started this issue on my phone. With Android 13 never had this issue. Fingerprint shows up quickly and is replaced by the lock, so I need to enter pin every time.

                        Same problem here: fingerprint unlock through different profiles doesn't work. I'm a new user, but I'm surprised that this bug has been going on for months. The only solution know so is a complete re-install? :(

                          No indication any of this works, please don't factory reset or reinstall for nothing. GitHub issue is still there.

                              [deleted] Thanks mate, will follow this thread and the GitHub's one to monitor things

                                Same. On a P7 I never had this fingerprint issue with A13 but now it just began happening.

                                UP1A.231005.007.2023101300

                                  This has not been an issue for me after I upgraded to A14 GOS. Currently on UP1A.231005.007.2023101300

                                  Although, when switching profiles, I have to wait 3 seconds before fingerprint unlock becomes available.

                                    Not every time for me. Sometimes it's just PIN lock and no way around it.

                                      My password is not quite as long - but I also find it annoying.

                                      I also think it's a security issue if I'm forced to enter my password in public (and possibly be watched while doing so) because the fingerprint doesn't work...
