Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Fingerprint not working trick

It’s a common issue with skin protectors with s24u.

However there is a workaround.

At first remove all the fingerprints.

Turn off touch sensitivity

Then register fingerprint again. (Register all 4 fingerprints using the same finger)

And finally turn on touch sensitivity

This should improve the fingerprint.

Also the fingerprint will improve overtime as well.
