Now bar interfering fingerprint sensor - S26 ultra

GPD — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 23:53:42 GMT

The now bar on my S26 Ultra is currently repositioning itself behind the fingerprint sensor, which subsequently activates the now brief screen upon attempting to unlock the device. Could you please provide guidance on how to rectify this behavior?

Long press on your lock screen, and you should be able to reposition your Now Bar.

No that doesn't work. We can't manually change the now bar position

Is fingerprint actively enabled to work on your lockscreen, because I know you can allow it or disallow. If not, do you have the Lockstar module with GoodLock affecting anything?

I have the fingerprint enabled. I have the lockstar module on my current and my old phone as well. But I didn't have this problem on my old one - s23 ultra

Tyr uninstalling Lockstar and restart the device. I think there was an issue with that. I had it on my s23fe where it was causing lock screen issues and uninstalling lockstar fixed it

I guess this worked. I uninstalled the lockstar and re installed it and I don't see any issue now. Will update if I find the issue again. Thank you so much for the suggestion

No problem, It happened to me alot with lockstar. It will come back later again, in which you have to uninstall it again. If you don't really need it I recommend removing permanently until they fix the issue.

I use the KWGT widgets on my lockscreen which requires lockstar module. I will uninstall it if the issue reappears. Thanks for heads-up

The issue is back even after removing the lockstar module. I guess it needs a software fix

I did. I moved mine below the sensor. I think you have to use lock star. I've never had a problem with it on my s26 Ultra

Can you please let me know the step by step process to move the now bar?

Actually, I can't remember if I moved it or not. I looked at how I thought it did it but I couldn't find it. Maybe it's always just been there for me. I'm sorry I can't help. I will keep looking though and if I do find it ill let you know
