Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 update problem, some Pixel 7 Pro fingerprint recognition "strike"

CTOnews.com, December 13 (Xinhua)-- Google yesterday pushed a beta update of Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 to Pixel devices, but like many beta versions, new problems ensued, this time affecting the Pixel 7 Pro.

According to Android Authority, some Pixel 7 Pro users said that the fingerprint recognition function was invalid after the upgrade and could not be used properly. According to the Reddit community post, some Pixel 7 Pro users cannot use fingerprint recognition after the upgrade, and the phone displays a message saying "fingerprint recognition sensor cannot be used, please visit the repair center."

CTOnews.com notes that so far only Pixel 7 Pro models seem to have been affected. Some of the affected users said that their mobile phone screens had been replaced, but this did not seem to be the root cause of the problem, as the problem occurred even on devices that had not replaced their screens.

This problem is quite serious, because most of them are used to using fingerprint sensors to quickly unlock mobile phones. And this problem will be even more troubling if users use fingerprint sensors to unlock the application.

Google has yet to respond to the problem, which has been around for less than a day. At present, a solution proposed by one user seems to solve some users' problems, but it is not effective for everyone. If you encounter this problem, you can try to recalibrate the Pixel 7 Pro fingerprint reader. You need a computer and back up the data.
