        My pixel 6 died while I was using it. The battery just ran out. I put it on the start charging stand and logged in the next morning using the fingerprint scanner. So what are we talking about here?

          Nix, 10 Nov 2021Fingerlrint on mine MI 11 Lite 5g died two monhts after I bought it...Do you really think that... moreYes, I think that. By the way, the comparison was between under-display fingerprint readers (hence the relation to the Pixel 6). The Mi 11 Lite 5G has one of those side-mounted fingerprint readers, so it’s not a proper comparison to the Pixels. I have never had a problem with Xiaomi’s under-display fingerprint readers.

                        It is not a bug. It is a feature.

                            Anonymous, 11 Nov 2021Will the fingerprint scanner still fail if your battery falls to 0% after a factory reset?As long as the sofware bug is not yet fixed the fingerprint sensor will fail as battery reach 0% and require a factory reset again to make it work. A simple workaround is to never let the battery reach 0% while waiting for update from Google. But the main concern for users is whether there are more undiscovered bugs and flaws in the Pixel 6 series.

                              People cant even understand basic text.

                              If you always recharge phone before it goes down to 0%, then finger scanner still gonna work.
                              If you let phone goes 0%, finger scanner does not work unless you perform factory reset.

                                        It is true. my pixel 6 has no fingerprint option after my battery drained to 0%. I cant add a new finger or use the fingerprint again. I am currently using a password to unlock it (back to the old days) The phone is very good but I refuse to factory reset, because what is the point if this can happen next week. I will wait for a software update and I hope Google will find a solution soon.
