Iphone 6+ Touch ID

[vuzuuu]

When I first received my iphone 6+ without any apps installed except one and only whatsapp, the touch id was very responsive and I was very impressed by this feature. I had 5S before but didn't really activate the touch id on it.

But, after few days of installing all the necessary apps on my new iphone, I found that the touch id has slowed down its performance. Do you guys encountered such an issue? I don't have many apps on my new iphone, total 24 additional apps which I consider less as compare to my friend's new iphone.

Using a iPhone 6 and found that the Touch ID is definitely more responsive than the 5s. Success rate is is at least 90%.

I agree with this. definitely more responsive. Success rate maybe about 98% for me.

@OP: btw, what do u mean by slow down performance?

I install quite a bit of apps and touch id working great. Try restore your phone and set up as a new phone.

TouchID works well. Placed my thumb and took about a second to unlock.

HOWEVER. I faced issues when opening my Dropbox with TouchID. But then that could be the app's issue not the TouchID itself.

u can try registering your same finger twice for better response

not too sure if it will really help or not, saw from some blog

 

[s0nics0nic]

yea i registered a few finger prints just in case any one doesnt work. lol

 

[derrickgoh]

6+ with close to 50 apps here. Don't notice any difference leh.

 

[thenakedshades]

I don't think it's about registering more fingers or what to speed up performance. I think TS should set up his phone as new then observe whether still got similar problems

No issue for me. Compared to the 5S, this is near perfect.

Haha, you good lo. Sometimes you know when your thumb is sweaty, it fails.

No issues using touchid on 6+, in fact I'm using everyday.
Previous phone is ip5 so no touchid to compare lol

Understandable, since there'll be interference. Wipe hand dry before using loh.

Anw to OP: using touch ID with minimal issues. And not sure if just me, but my success rate seems to be higher on 8.1 than 8.0.2.

I never fail on TouchID since day 1 on iPhone 6+.. Not even need a second my phone is unlock... LOL

Sometimes is not the thumb sweaty but the residues left on the Touch ID sensor. LOL

5S can respond to my sweaty thumb but not the 6+

 

[FreeSell]
