Council lays out drastic package of cuts, including to playgrounds and community schemes, in measures described as ‘horrendous’
I've moved from the Google Pixel 4A, which had an excellent fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone, to the 7A.
I won't sugarcoat it: in my experience the fingerprint sensor, now an optical sensor on the front of the phone, is near useless. It fails to read my finger/thumb print basically ~95% of the time, which means it can't be used for any account that may lock the user out following 'x' unsuccessful login attempts.
I really don't get why they shipped the feature with the phone given how unacceptably bad it is to use.
Is this a common opinion shared amongst 7A users? Is there something wrong with my phone, or am I missing something? I'd welcome any advice, as I would quite like to get this working reliably.

Hi 👋
In absence of a community for greyhound owners/admirers across Lemmy I've opted to create one here on feddit.uk.
By way of a introduction, here's our boy Ziggy. He's a 4 year old ex-racer living with us in sunny, sunny Wales 🏴 😉. He likes 🧀, naps and waking us up at 6am for his morning constitutional.
I've set up an icon and banner image for the community from our own set of photos but they're more placeholders until something better comes along.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. 🙂
