Anyone else having difficulty with the thumbprint recognition?

Every time I try to log in with either of my thumbs, it says try again. Eventually I have to enter my passcode. : (

It's working just fine for me.

Are your thumbs dirty? What about the sensor/button? My new iPhone6 has been quite good with regard to print recognition.

Hmmm, I'm sure it's operator error : ) I'll try to set it up again.

What finger(s) do you use for TouchID? I use both thumbs, but have set up all 5 finger "slots" with the two thumbs. Also, if you finger(s) is(are) damp, dirty or really dry, reading the finger print can be spotty. I would recommend using all 5 finger settings in the Settings app, and then make sure your hands are clean and dry. My iPhone 6 Plus rarely fails to recognize my thumbs and open.

If you repeatedly test your thumbs in the Touch ID settings the phone will start to remember them better.

My Touch ID sensor works fine. I set up both thumbs twice and my right pointer finger once, and I have about a 95% success rate. So my suggestion is to set up the same finger multiple times and that may work for you.

I am experiencing the same problem with both thumbs and index fingers. My fingers are clean and I do clean my screen often each day. I usually set up each print twice.

I had the same problem with my 5S until an OS update became available.

When TouchID first came,out, I read an account for someone successfully setting up the tip of their




nose...

Trying restoring as new. When I first got my 6 plus I restored from a 5S backup and Touch ID was not as consistent as it was with the 5S. The restore as new fixed it and I rarely get a "try again "unless my hands are damp after just washing them.

My iPhone 6 Touch ID works flawlessly. I have just my thumb and my "pointer" finger. The only time I had problems with Touch ID was with my iP5S. The problem turned out to be a firmware problem.

When you program you Touch ID move your finger around in small increments and at different angles. Do the same when you program the edges.

Lol it only doesn't work after I come out the shower with prune fingers. Other than that works great!

My phone contacts as well as some of the stored data is lost, forgotten backups, and how to do it?

Mine is working great so far. Even better than my 5S I'd say. Try setting up multiple prints for the same finger.

Thats how I do mine also, once and a while I'll have a problem and its always from some sort of interference on one of my prints wipe my thumb and I'm good to go. .

My TouchID works most of the time. Usually when my fingers are rather oily or wet it fails to recognize it. Other than that it works beautifully. Like others have said, try setting up a few times for one of your finger, or you could just re-setup it

Mine has worked 100% of the time since I got it 2 weeks ago. Never failed once.

Only have 1 finger saved for unlocking too. My right thumb

Mine only fails when I'm not paying attention to where I'm putting my finger. I'll miss the scanner completely.
