I couldn't unlock my phone with my fingerprint so I deleted it and tried to register it again but the sensor only goes up by 20% and it can't finish registering my fingerprint. Some says its because I use a screen protector, tho, I think that it is not the reason since I've been using the same screen protector since day one and it was working very well until a week or two ago. If anyone could help me with this problem that would really be a great help.

      Have you tried to register all of your other fingers? A slight changes to your fingerprints that's maybe due to scars or wrinkling etc. can affect optical fingerprint reading.

      Try checking for software update. You can also try doing soft reboot on your phone. Press volume down and power key for 7-10 secs.

      Did you enable touch sensitivity for more speedy and accurate fingerprint sensor?

      Hi. Yes, I've tried them all. It has been 6 months since I went into a service center because my phone kept restarting by itself or just stays on the screen with the samsung logo. If there are still things left that I can do to make this phone better, please tell me. Thank you😊

      Try disabling battery optimization for biometrics: settings>apps> under 3 dot menu>special access>optimize battery usage>show all apps> search for com.samsung.android.biometrics.app.setting> disable battery optimization.
