Re: Apparently Touch ID doesn't like 180-degree unlock attempts - TUAW

[Geoff Waaler]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the note.  I did that, but it didn't help.  After reading that 
blog post though, I concluded that others were getting much better results; 
after all, that person seemed surprised when it didn't work.  Anyway, I set 
it up again using the finger tips of two fingers rather than the middle, and 
my results are vastly improved (even at a 180 degree angle).


Best regards.
Geoff

Hi Jeff,

I've found touch iD to work just about every time for me.  I read 
somewhere that if you are not finding it reliable you should go back to 
settings and delete your finger print and set it up again.  I have two 
fingers set up and I can use them both first try about 90 percent of the 
time and just about always get it on the second try if needed.  It is very 
fast for me as well.


I hope you get yours squared away.

I am running IOS 7.04, and still touchID is only working about 20% of the 
time.
