Pixel 6A fingerprint sensor issues
1

On my 6A, the reader works perfectly well on, for example, my banking app. Does this not  suggest that the problem (which is quite a serious issue for me) is with the Google software only, and has nothing to do with screen protectors etc?

How does your banking app use the fingerprint sensor?

I am in the UK, where a number of banks ( First Direct, Lloyds Bank for example) use fingerprint ID for on line banking. As I say, it works perfectly then, but not when accessing the phone.

Likely an upstream software issue that may have already been addressed by the Android 13 QPR1 patch or perhaps the 2023-01-01/2023-01-05 (latest) monthly patch.

Thanks for that; as it happens I exchanged the item at Argos UK (who handles the exchange in an exemplary manner), and the new one appears to be working well.
