Look how far we have come 😂
hey
2018?
it looks like it works like one of fingerprint scanners on laptops
U
My s5 print works good
this video is aboslute dog shit
You can now use PayPal with the S5 finger scanner.
I don't get it why it have to be so long like dam
It's bad
how can you get fingerprint
ppl and news discussing the rumors that S8 will use such similar sensor, but i don't get it why they are all impressed as if it is a new technology !!
its driving me crazy really, am i the only one noticing this ?
how do u finger print on s5 neo i cant findt hem
sound quality ouch
I have a galaxy s6 and I think that the fingerprint is much better than s5
I have a galaxy s6 and the fingerprint is much better than s5
how do u find it when it's not there?
this makes me really sad that it doesn't work like s6…. 🙁 as soon as I get a job, I'm paying off this phone and getting and s6 or s7. I can't stand the fingerprint
no you dont have to put your thumb up and down i put myne side to side and it worked wow lol you can make your finger scanner as comfortable as possible haha you have to actualy try it not just say no you cant
This makes Apple be ashamed of Samsung. LOL POOR THING
can't wait till I get this
I have a s4.. I'm mad
i mean 3:02 to 3:04
u r wrong about the thumb, u actually can set it up in that way, 3:05 to 3:07
Klart som fan man vill kunna låsa upp med ett swipe bara. Vill ju att det förblir svart ruta för alla som micklar med min telefon.
U actually can swipe ur thumb sideways when u register it and u can register your same thumb 3 times in the sideways swipe gesture so ur phone can recognise ur finger print more.
Cool…
Hmmmm….. having your fingerprint in the samsung database, i'm not sure if i'm comfortable with that, Regardless on how accurate it is.
You guyz cant blame Samsung for trying at least. And now it's even better on the s6.
One of the main reasons that samsung couldn't of made the finger scanner better is because apple patented the technology and bought the company that is responsible for it.
And yes the finger scanner on the Galaxy S5 is crap, if you think it isn't, you haven't had it long enough
Yes u can use your thumb that way
It's crap…. stick with pattern or password lock instead.
You saved our phones life. Thank you so much
After the release of the Galaxy S5, many people reported about the fingerprint scanner being crap and useless due to it being unable to correctly identify fingerprints, and most of the time throwing errors instead of unlocking their latest smartphone. The reason behind this is that when registering their fingerprints, users only swipe their finger over the home button, which is tiny and doesn’t provide sufficient area. The right way is to swipe their finger starting from the lower part of the display to the home button, not just the home button. This allows for a much greater surface area for the finger to swipe on and the result is flawless. This is actually Samsung’s fault and not the users’, because these instructions aren’t present in the current version of the fingerprint registration tutorial. If you didn’t knew about this, try it now!
u are wrong on the thumb part man… with practice u can easily swipe your thumb side ways for the fingerprint screen… so u can just use 1 hand to unlock your phone
touch id is better to be honest.
you can set it up to swipe your thumb sideways and it'll work. that's what I do with my S5.
If you register your thumb sideways it will accurately register it for one handed operation. Works every time on mine. Also registering the same finger or thumb twice increases accuracy.
My finger scanner does not work help
This video couldn't be anymore wrong. I've had Samsung galaxy S5 for a wee while now. Fingerprint sensor is excellent. The trick is when your recording your finger print move your finger round ever so slightly clock wise and it works perfect every time.
4 every one that says samsung copys apple guess who makes apple chip from iphone 1 to 5s +5c?
This isn't true at all, I'm right handed and I use my right thumb to unlock my phone, Josh did not do his homework this time….
That is not true… you can swipe fingers sideways to unlock, it just means you have to input the finger sideways in the settingsÂÂÂ
samsung copied apple, and apple copied motorola
