This phone combine the Power button and fingerprint reader.  The problem
with that design is sometime you are trying to power off the phone, but
it instead thinks you are trying to scan your fingerprint.

 
Just use your nail.

I cut mine short, so pressing the edge of the nail means my finger tip
also presses against the Power/fingerprint button.  Maybe an upside-down
finger to press just the fingernail against the Power button might work,
but remember this is a capacitance button, so a fingernail (presumably
attached to a finger) also changes capacitance.  My fingernail (edge or
just the nail) works just the same as pressing a finger tip.  Maybe your
phone lets you adjust the sensitivity of the capacitance change.  Mine
does not.

Another design defect is using the Power button to sleep the phone.
You want to power off, but as you withdraw your finger then it
thinks you want to come out of sleep mode.

 
Not a problem. Power off is a long press.

Unless interpreted as a lock action.  And withdrawing your finger does
not get interpreted as an unlock action.  Long press should work as
described, but doesn't always.

I have two motorolas with the finger sensor on the power button, and it
is not a problem at all. It is well designed.

Could be a design difference, like in the delays between finger press
and finger removal, or capacitance sensitivty.

Fingerprint sensors have changed over the years.  My LG V20 was
introduced in September 2016, discontinued in 2019 (no further OS
updates after that), and LG left the smartphone market in April 2021.
Mine came with Android 7, and got 1 OS update to 8.0.0.  I'm not going
to root my phone to get some unknown's firmware to allow me to update to
a later Android.

The OP's moto g100 was introduced in March 2021, came with Android 11,
and upgradeable to Android 12.  No idea if the OP can get later versions
of Android without rooting.

I don't know which moto phones you have.  As to the behavior for the
OP's phone, the OP probably best knows from experience unless one of
yours is also a moto g100.
