Finger print sensor not working

I have the Apollo and the finger print sensor is useless, it just keep saying finger print not recognised.

Mine is working properly, not 100% but for me it's useful and most of times it is very quick. Sometimes I have to repeat recording my fingerprint, try it. There is some videos in YouTube explaining how to do it. Get luck.

It is recommended to delete the fingerprint and reset the fingerprint
Try to restore factory settings, what happens?

Alexnov, are you someone that works with your hands?  You may have smoothed out prints.  I've had other phones and this Vernee Apollo has been the best at detecting my fingers.  Noting I do get failed attempts as I have worn skin.  I don't use use security anyway as I prefer to phone to start up straight away for interaction like to film or record sound.  The point is you either have a bad component or you prints are not suited to the technology.

Hi e8hffff.
No, I do not work with my hands and my fingers are not worn in some way.
I've never had trouble with my previous smartphones (iOS and Android). My fingerprints were regularly recognized. It's probably a bad component ...

try to restore the factory setting and I have tried that mine is working now .

Try restoring and rebooting your iOS device. Your finger print sensor will work automatically after rebooting. Also, Get root access using rootlessjb (Get it from here) to customize iOS device.
