The issue appears to be a calibration tool for the fingerprint sensor which fails, leaving the digit scanner disabled. The Pixel 6's fingerprint sensor seems to be one of its least reliable components, because on top of the issues above, there have now been numerous reports that the fingerprint sensor breaks when the screen is repaired - even when getting the screen repaired by a Google-endorsed service provider. Screen repairs breaking the fingerprint scanner In fact, a January software update included various vague fingerprint scanner fixes and improvements, but it's not clear from the changelog whether this particular issue was fixed or not. The good news is that since a factory reset fixes this it’s presumably a software issue rather than a hardware one, which means Google will hopefully be able to provide a more permanent software fix down the line. It seems this problem doesn’t affect every Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, but a large number of people have reported it. This is fixable, but at the moment possibly only by factory resetting your phone – and if the battery runs flat again then you might suffer this issue all over again. Perhaps the most troubling issue suffered by Pixel 6 users is that the fingerprint scanner reportedly breaks if you let the battery run flat.
