Marshmallow and Fingerprint Functionality

[mcdonx]

I was so happy earlier that I got the marshmallow update on my xperia z5 compact. I've had this phone soon after it was launched and have enjoyed the fingerprint functionality. 

After the update, I tried unlocking my phone with my fingerprint and it wasn't going through. I thought something must be wrong here. So, I deleted the stored fingerprints and created new ones. This still did not fix my dilemma. 

Then it dawned on me that Sony announced lately that the US versions will not have the fingerprint functionality. I was livid!

For one, I bought the phone even before they decided to disable the fingerprint scanner! IF I knew that they will do this, I wouldn't have bought the phone in the first place. 

I feel cheated! Fix this Sony!

I have this app Softlock and whenever I used it to lock my phone, fingerprint scanner doesn't work. But if I lock my phone using the power button, the fingerprint scanner works just fine. I uninstalled the said app and will now lock my phone using the power button every time.

Thank you for that link.
