Android 13 update for the previous generation Xperia flagship, Xperia 5 III, provided in late January.
Recently, it became clear that there were multiple reports of problems around the fingerprint impression on Xperia 5 III after this Android 13 update.
Specifically, on the same terminalThe symptom that fingerprint authentication suddenly became impossible and the fingerprint authentication item itself disappeared from the settings。
By the way, the problem that the fingerprint authentication sensor disappears along with the settings is a common problem with the Xperia 1/5 series, especially the Xperia 1 II and 5 II, and I have reported this several times on the same site.
However, in the examples so far, updates have little to do with it, and most of the cases are “suddenly”.
Furthermore, for some reason this event has hardly been reported on the Xperia 1 III,Almost limited to 5 IIIThat’s one feature.
There are reports that this symptom can be improved by restarting multiple times or forcibly restarting with the SIM card removed, but neither seems to be a 100% sure way to deal with it.
If it happens intermittently, it seems that there is no other way but to repair it in the end.
However, most of the users of the same model have been in use for more than a year since purchase, and they may end up paying for repairs.
For some reason, I want you to do something about this problem, which is very common in models with a side fingerprint authentication sensor.
