Finger print reader issue

From the start it seemed like the reader wasn't very good, it just didn't have the sensitivity I thought it should and then I compounded the problem by installing the Whitestone Dome glass screen protector.

Re-registered prints several times in various positions etc and it didn't help then the Sep 1 update came out and it improved a little, I also set the sensitivity to max in system settings. It worked better but I still had to press fairly hard for it to go thru.

Well today I dropped the phone and cracked the screen protector so I decided to change it out with the 2nd dome protector I got and that's when I discovered why the print reader was off. While peeling the cracked dome protector off I noticed an air bubble on the screen itself :thinking: I'm trying to figure out how the hell air got under the screen and felt the edge of the phone with my fingernail.

Damn phone came with a hard plastic screen protector under the peel away sheet. Now the reader works like it should. Doh!
