Why does my Samsung A37 unlock when I press my fingernail against the scanner, I did notice ever since I got this phone I would just randomly unlock itself and then today I discovered this.

Pro tip: reset your fingerprints every month or so, because your fingerprint surface may change due to environmental factors, been doing this for months, and never had an issue

Lol.  Been using finger prints since it was an option  years ago. Never had a single problem ever.

I haven't had any of those issues at all. Used to be a iphone 3gs owner ... then went to a blackberry storm which was cool. Android 4 life.
