Android Pie Fingerprint Unlock Slow

Just me or is fingerprint unlock really slow since update to Pie? Sony Xz2. 

Also, not sure but battery life also seems reduced.

Did anyone try removing all the stored fingerprints and register new ones? Just for the sake of troubleshooting.

I am getting the same fingerprint that has me a little bit slower but battery life is been phenomenal for me on Android 9. But I have noticed it being a little bit slower to unlock.

Didn't work for me, I tried a factory reset and it's still much slower than the previous OS version.

I've got a solution. The fingerprint sensor works better now. I did the following. Go to Settings > Apps and Notifications > Advanced > Special App access > Power-saving feature and open it. Then choose: Not optimized change to: All Apps. Type in the search field in the top right. Write the Word finger and search for com.sonymobile assistant.overlay.fingerprint. Make sure that is selected: Don't optimized then search for FingerprintExtensionService. Make sure that is selected: Don't optimized. It should say excepted for both. It works well for me. Please let me know what you have experience with it
