Have you tried phones with it on the power button? That was the best for me by far.

- guappa 1y agoYeah it's great! I want to put off the screen and instantly after going off, it reads my finger and goes on again! Who came up with that idea?
- gertlex 1y agoI'm sure it's manageable with proper software, as I had no such issue back in the day with my Xperia Z5(?) compact. (That said, I get similarly cranky about various gestures that just don't reliably work in some cases. I despair of the eventual day they (google in my case) no longer offer the 3 button home row on android phones)
- davidmurdoch 1y agoAsus?
- guappa 1y agoNo, one of the new "nokia" that run stock android.
- Pfeil 1y agoReading this on my Fairphone 5 and can't reproduce this issue. But I admit that sometimes I just want to see the lock screen and accidentally unlock the phone. Therefore, I still agree. The back is the better position for the fingerprint reader.
- iforgotpassword 1y agoIt rarely happens right when locking the phone, mosty because I already developed the habit to press the power button not with the tip of my thumb but lower down, where the joint is. But when shoving it back in my pocket it still happens on a regular basis, even when I try to avoid it. The button is just located in such a way that it's very hard to avoid touching it while doing so. Then I pull it out a while later to find I changed 20 settings and made a dozen in-app purchases. ;)
- robocat 1y agoThe digitizer chip vendors get a percentage of every app purchase.
- imp0cat 1y agoCan you use double tap to wake when you just need to check the screen? This will also reduce the mechanical stress on the physical unlock button.
- Pfeil 1y agoNot sure if there was an option, but I would not want to enable it anyway. I want to avoid baby fingers to enable the screen ;) I remember I enabled it with my previous phone, though, so could work for some.
- snapplebobapple 1y agothat also never happened on any of the string of cheap chinese phones I installed lineageos on before deciding the world was sketchy enough to mean grapheneos was the minimum viable level of hardening for my phone. I miss the power button fingerprint scanner dearly.
- zozbot234 1y agoWith many phones these days you can suspend by just double-tapping the screen, or the status bar. Sometimes this works for resume too, other phones require a physical button press.
- sierra1011 1y agoComing from a Pixel ~5 to a Fairphone 5, this is by far my biggest gripe. Constantly finding it unlocked because it unlocks as soon as I lock it.
- bigstrat2003 1y agoMy current phone has that and it's the absolute worst design choice I have ever seen in a phone. It is constantly triggering when I'm trying to lock the screen. I can't understand what the designers at Nokia were thinking, truly awful hardware design.
- mhitza 1y agoSame thing with Fairphone 4. It's either too dirty to register on first touch (the smaller surface doesn't help), or I unlock the screen when I lock the phone.
- 4k93n2 1y agoits probably more of a software issue. ive had 3 phones (sony, samsung) with sensors in the power button and never had a problem
- campl3r 1y agoThis is the best option by far, sadly can't find it anymore
- izacus 1y agoWell, foldables have them. Sadly they're the opposite of affordable and sustainable.
- Y-bar 1y agoMy iPad (and also the iPad Air) has a fingerprint sensor on it's power button and it's very nice.
