Some tips if you choose to keep using the P7

-If you have a screen protector turn on screen pro mode (display settings), re-enroll fingerprints

-Use index finger and not thumb for the FP's, sometimes it also works better when you're fingers are more wet, you'll find me sometimes licking them like turning the page on a book

-Turn on smart lock, I have mine setup to not need unlocked whenever I'm at my house or whenever I have my car blue-tooth connected, with those two enabled I don't need the FP unlock as much anymore

​

Overall the FP sensor is shit on p7 compared to the back FP unlock on older devices (came from a 4a).I'm not a fan of face unlock (just feels creepy) and wouldn't use it regardless of which device I'm using, but to each their own, good luck!

It's good. Works in low light for me. Having recently purchased an iPad Air that only has touchID, I find myself annoyed at the inconvenience of having to move my hand. Damn I'm lazy.

It works very good in every condition , except any iPhones below the 12 cannot use Face ID with a mask , iPhone 12 - Face ID with mask , No landscape iPhone 13 - Face ID with mask , landscape mode aswell iPhone 11 and below - Face ID no mask unless you have an Apple Watch Basically works flawlessly even in low light cause of the dot projectors ect

FaceID works great for me in 2023, so much so I use it with Apple Wallet to pay for stuff at the shops and it has been 100% reliable and unlocks the phone quicker than I can present it to the card reader. Also, it works if your phone is in landscape mode nowadays too. I haven't really used it in the dark, but understand it uses non-video depth sensor or other part of the spectrum to track your noggin so should be be fine.*

*It's dark here in the UK, i just switched off all the lights and unlocked my iPhone with FaceID, perfect, first time, flawless.

You can’t send files back to iPhone but you can make a trick, you can download iTunes on your computer, download chrome on your iPhone, download some random thing from chrome,the use iTunes file sharing to share all types of files between the devices

You can technically do this by creating a shortcut for each app. When you create the shortcut you just don’t give it a name. A little annoying and take work but it looks pretty good when done. But it does mean it won’t show notification bubbles on the app icon.

The diagnostic suggestions are inadequate. Are you on a network that belongs to a company that does network scanning from a "public" network. It seems unlikely. If the network you're connecting to (via Wi-Fi) does address translation and many other people are going to that Hermes site it may look as if it's coming from one device. That's pretty careless on the part of the provider (Hermes uses fastly.com, not their servers) though, each address+port connection has to be considered unique to work so it's pretty clumsy for them to lump all connections from the same address to a single device.

So that leaves either a Javascript fault/constraint on your phone or a bug at the fastly end. Do you use any Safari plug-ins?
