Samsung s6 fingerprint not responding

Talula_d

As above, since this morning the fingerprint scanner isnt working, anyone have any ideas if its fixable?

Not working how?
Does it just do nothing or say incorrect print etc?
Try a restart if you haven't already.
I'd say it is replace by a tech repair shop of it's properly broken.
It's hard enough to open and close these phones for self repair apparently.

So it is on and off working since this morning started working for a few mins after i removed history of fingerprints and re did them, but it says now the fingerprint scanner isnt reponding and to try later, so im wondering is it a bug of some sort because it worked on and off?

Could be a loose connection somehow so it only works sometimes. But if it works, say every time after a restart, it could be software related which may be fixed by a factory reset.

I take it you didn't disable any services in package Disabler app or one of those type of apps.

Yeah it was working on and off but managed to add 3 new fingerprints so something is amiss, no apps like that but had one turbo cleaner that i deleted wonder could it be that?
