    I’ve found that going back to a plastic film cover instead of glass made the fingerprint scanner work every time. Having said that, I’d much rather have a glass screen protector. This new design forced me to buy a different screen protector and case style than I’m used to, and imo, my case / screen protector is a downgrade. I usually buy cases with built in screen protectors, but every one of those I tried were shit with the fingerprint reader. This, like so many of Google’s ‘innovations’ is a terrible idea. They’ve clearly run out of ideas on what to do next with hardware on smartphones. I just want my 2011 phone with 2023 performance / OS. Everything they’ve done after that has been a downgrade.
