I had 2 fingerprints registered on my A51 5G and one of my fingers has a cut and bandaid. So go to use 2nd finger, and doesn't work. Then TRY EVERY finger, with no success.
So tried to enter new finger, and the sensor will give haptic feedback, then not retain or register ANY fingerpresses at all. It temporarily makes some lines on the print, then they disappear.

Hello, welcome to the Community, and thanks for reaching out about this. I can see how inconvenient this is for you not registering your fingerprints.

If the troubleshooting is not helpful, the phone will need to be evaluated by a certified technician.
