Hello guys,
The touch ID on my iPhone 5s drives me crazy the last weeks.
It was working fine for such a long time, no it's behaves as follows:
If I wake the phone by pressing the home button and rest the finger on touch ID it sometimes unlocks the phone as it is supposed to be.
But that isn't always the case. Sometimes it just doesn't detect that there is a finger to be scanned. Nothing happens and there is no jiggle saying it couldn't read the finger properly. If this happens I can only make it work by pressing the home button - then it reads it.
Often times this happens when I swipe a notification to unlock it, always have to press that damn button down.
I already restored the phone once and reconfigured all fingers. Nothing changed.
Do you have any ideas what this could be?
