halcyoncmdr, to android in Google is switching the Pixel 9 to an ultrasonic fingerprint reader

Same. It was in the perfect spot, and worked 100% of the time for me.

The in-screen one on my Pixel 6 works maybe 50% of the time, and for whatever reason just hates my right thumb, the one it really needs to be able to read. Even with it saved 5 times.

They are more efficient however distributed power is better for overall grid resiliency.

Not to mention having a solar system at home with a battery means having power if the grid goes down for any reason.

Is that supposed to be revolutionary? They’ve digitally modeling proteins like that for over a decade, if not longer.

Or is this just an “AI” version so they can grift millions from some billionaires.

I never had an issue with it. The sensor unlocked the phone every single time without exception.

Every in screen sensor I’ve used has had issues at one point or another. Power button sensors are theoretically good, but I rarely use the power button to turn on my screen. With all the alternative ways to wake up the phone, I rarely wake it using the power button.

Oh yeah it’s on there 3 times. I’ve even tried to retrain them again several times since I got it. Just doesn’t like that finger for whatever reason. Can’t see any reason why looking at it, but it’s extremely annoying since it’s the most convenient finger.

The screen sensor is also noticeably slower than the rear sensor from older models, and I do have more issues with other fingers occasionally. I much prefer the placement of the rear sensor as well. I rarely use the phone while it is sitting on the table, and was able to unlock the phone while still pulling it out of my pocket with the rear sensor since there was an actual physical spot for it you could feel, not just a specific spot on the glass.

Easily the biggest step down for usability with the Pixels in my opinion.

My Pixel 6 only has an issue with one finger. Unfortunately it’s my right thumb. The finger I want it to work with the most.
