Touch ID doesn't work after iOS 7.1 Update

If it's a hardware fault, than how come it works perfectly fine when connected to charging.

It's a software issue and since the Touch ID is not working, the battery lasts longer than before.

Last week, when they called here, saying they are working on it. I`ve said this before but you seem to perfectly ignore anything written in this thread, other your own posts.

Hear `ya man!

I remember me telling my customers that Apple might not be as feature rich as others, but was the most reliable mobile OS. Lately I am really having trouble to convince people of that. One of my most important customers made the decision to go for Android for its employees devices (about 8000 units). Not that Android would be better than iOS, but at least we have the opportunity to fix the issues the OS has and use that branch instead.

With iOS people dont have nothing, not even the chance to dongrade to a more reliable state of the OS. Oh yeah, iOS7 is adopted by 90% of all Apple devices.... sure, because the average user doesn`t have the chance to downgrade again. This might not affect me as a developer, but I am thinking of i.e. my mom which didnt even know devices like this existed before I gave one to her.

My touch id unlock has been getting steadily worse. I did a reinstall last week. I have reset my prints half a dozen times now and it just does not read them properly anymore, extremely frustrating to say the least.

Time to replace the phone, which Apple will do for free.

Do you have static electric problems around the house?

When waking up now I try and be careful to touch the frame before touching the button for fear that static sparks are burning out the ring sensor. The actual finger print scanner always works once the ring sensor has detected my touch, but the ring sensor burned out and so it never scanned. It never said the finger scan failed because it never started.

7.1.1 update seem to fix the problem, mine is working fine now after updating to 7.1.1,

(i'm using ota update)

Great! Mine still works as well as after the 7.1 update, I hope this fixes the issue for most of those who have had this problem in the past.

I upgraded to iOS 7.1.1, and corrected, what you have to say?

You were right.

After updating to 7.1.1 my iphone is working fine too

After updating ios 7.1.1 it seems that my iphone is working properly

Installed the update yesterday and used the device throughout the day (heavy GPS-usage, Phonecalls, Development). Even left it behind the windshild of my car during lunchtime to really fry that thing.

So far, TouchID worked flawless every single time.

Mine also is working properly after upgrading to 7.1.1 ... Touch ID is working fine again.

Yeah same here its all good now 🙂 Touch ID is back.
