I updated my ipad not long after I got it and the censor went away.
Before that I could put my finger on the home button and it would put in
the code, now I have to type it in.
And I think my finger is clean, I'd not put a sticky finger on my
devices, or I would hope I wouldn't, grin.

Ok, if my 5s is locked, I still need to press the power button but that's a
quick press. When the phone opens then I need to touch the sensor to unlock my
phone. Alternitivly I can use the on screen key pad to type in my 4 character
pass word but why bother. Now if my finger is sticky or dirty, the finger
print reader might not work in which case I then just manually type my 4 digit
code in. Does that help any?

So if your phone is locked and you place your finger on the home
button, it unlocks without you having to press the home button or
anything?
Because I have to press either the home button or the button on the
side to unlock the phone regardless of whether I use the fingerprint
or enter the passcode. The pressing of some button has to come first.
I guess I'm not understanding either. <g>

I'm not quite sure I understand what your doing. All I need to do on my 5s
when my phone is turned on is to place my index finger on the home button.
No pressing it, no moving my finger around. I just hold my finger on the
sensor and it only takes a second or so to read it. My index finger is
usually clean. I know some people are eating snack food and such and get
poor results with the finger print sensor. I figure if they can't figure it
out for them selves that that's probably not a good idea then maybe an
iPhone isn't for them. Rarely do I have a problem opening my 5s and when I
do, it's usually because my finger is not clean.

In light of our recent discussion of the fingerprint recognition on
the iPhone I have something interesting to report. I've been doing
some very unscientific testing with my iPhone 6 and have found the
following.
When attempting to unlock the phone with my fingerprint, if I press
the lock button on the side of the device while holding my thumb over
the home button, nine times out of ten my print will be recognized and
the phone will unlock. If however, I press the home button to unlock,
the opposite is true and nine times of ten the recognition will fail.
I don't know what this means but I thought it was interesting.
