Fingerprint sensor trick

[Andygoes]

Perhaps this is already known, but I found a trick to deal with the sensor not easily picking up a finger because of it being hard to feel.

I have been able to double tap to wake on the fingerprint sensor with the screen off to unlock the phone. This let's me find the sensor with my finger first and then double tap it. It's reduced my bad finger scans tremendously, as well as sped up access to the phone from my pocket.

Thanks! It is noticeably faster to double-tap the scanner rather than the front.

Nice tip. I was a little frustrated with it being on the back and hard to find with my finger. This helps!
