I received my Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra today and I am trying to set up the fingerprint it scans my fingerprint till it reaches 49% then it says couldn't register your fingerprint

I finally got mine to take a fingerprint. It wouldn't take my thumb, but did take my index finger (and it works to unlock). I have difficult (old, too) fingerprints, but they work/have worked easily with my Pixel devices. Just for the heck of it, I turned off wifi and BT. Then I recorded my attempts on the S9 with my S8 tablet. Most of the time, it stopped at 31% -- after two failed green rings. I attempted the thumb at least 6 times. I was on the index finger 2nd time when it actually went through.

I guess I should have researched this first. I just sent in a report for this same reason. 49% then I get the pop up. No protector, no lotion, finger not wet, ect. I got up to 63% @One time.. thought I was going to get it this time but NO! 49% is definitely the stopping point on average. Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra. OK Samsung... let's get this fixed.

Sorry this is happening to you, too, but I'm glad to see another report. Even though I got mine to work, it doesn't work the way it should. Going to report on Samsung right now.

Do you have other devices with the under screen ultrasonic fingerprint scanner? Reading the forums here, there are some people that it just doesn't work well for.

I was experiencing the same issue when attempting to register a fingerprint. Then I tried rolling my finger on the sensor each time I was prompted as if being fingerprinted and it worked! I think the solution is rolling your finger. Good luck!

I tried that with my index finger and it worked but not with my thumb so it's better than nothing Thank you

Rhea98 · ‎08-11-2023

@usernmsdvn97en_...you need to fix this. Just cause there's a work-a-round doesn't let you off the hook.
