[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maddmatt:
No. It even warns you that it's low-security and experimental. Could possibly be fooled by holding up a photo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeitgeb3r:
Fail. It works via 3D contour and infrared signature of the face.

A photo has no 3D contour.

The face of a dead Gaddafi wouldn't work either, as a thermal image of a dead person is blue, rather than red.

If you're suffering from a cold, your cephalo infrared signature would still be roughly the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost010:
atleast i hope you stil can get a backup/second option to unlock your phone if the face unlock doesnt respond
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Darktori:
You do! There is a standard PIN/Pattern unlock, when the light conditions are too bad for the Face Unlock to work.

( and you can activate it simply by holding your finger over the camera ;) )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rickh925:
How would this phone get a thermal image?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Thats what im wondering. I wouldve rather them skip infrared sensor and added 32gig storage or sd slot if thats the case.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
The worst thing that can happen to you if someone FORCES you to put YOUR FACE in front of the camera. :) Just... the worst thing. :)

It's Google... they'd find a way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eoinoc:
From http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/hands-on-ice-cream-sandwich-review-1036402 -

So it's a neat feature, but not super secure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Google admits a really large, high res photo of the person could feasibly unlock your phone, but it says it has put huge amounts of time into making sure this is really difficult to achieve.

I voided my warranty and your nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CanaganD:
3d contour and IR imaging only exists in really expensive building security systems. My office building uses a vascular 3d IR image of my hand as a bio metric security system and those things are not cheap.

The more likely scenario is that the algorithm relies on micro movements with your face to give it a slightly 3dish signature that a photo cannot reproduce, and that a tv screen playing video would not have the rez to fool the cam.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kanalcommander:
I agree with those who think there is no IR sensor in the Nexus. And I also think this think could be fooled, but patterns can be figured out by trying and are really easy to recognize when someone enters them.

I consider face unlock as a feature of comfort, if it works reliable to unlock the phone without many failed trys.

@Thread opener

I think you will see soon enough wether you can use face unlock with exchange, I think this depends on the servers settings, not on Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] berkmanmd:
@kanalcommander -- i think you're right...it comes down to the policy set by our exchange admin. in my case, they require a PIN unlock.

unfortunately, the PIN unlock takes all the sexiness out of unlocking your android. i might have to either

a) not set up my exchange account

b) use enhanced email or similar (based on the default email app, but removes the lock policy)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
I think this is likely what they are doing. They could just track eye movement, human eyes are constantly making small movements so we could detect static objects, it'd be hard to achieve this with a picture.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diversificationied:
You people are crazy, it's simple face recognition.

Eyes, mouth, nose, ear, and then distances between everything.

(which is why it can be fooled with a a picture.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
We will just have to wait and see.

[HTC Inspire 4G] karlkarloff:
Hey, just got an Otterbox Defender case for my Inspire, since my Commuter case broke. Figured I would go beefier and hopefully the case would last. Anyway, it came with this belt clip/holster thing that was way too big and unwieldy for me, i just stick my phone in a hip pocket. I was just going to throw it away, but then I was "inspired"(bad joke, but oh well). I took the spring loaded clip on the back and took it off by pressing the two little tabs that hold it on, then used a hot air gun and gently melted the plastic and bent the clip out to about a 90 degree angle. Then I bent the end of it back down a bit to make a hook shape. Put it back on the holster and now I have a rather sturdy, rotating vent mount for my phone. Turned out rather well, and with the way the phone clips into the holster, no worry about it falling out at all. I'll try to take some pics tomorrow and post them, just in case someone might be interested in doing it themselves.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sk8rade1:

I am wondering if anyone knows if the dell streak will work on mobilicity with no data? just regular 2G. I have a regular GSM Dell streak and was wondering if the voice calls are possibile on the AWS Band. just no data from what i understand.
[Streak 5 General] smnc:
Hi,

Mobilicity does not have a 2G GSM underlay network like Rogers or AT&T.

Mobilicity just runs straight 3G UMTS for both voice and data.

You need the AWS varient Streak for Mobilicity, even for just voice.

The only time Mobilicity uses GSM is if you are roaming outside the unlimited zone. Then your Mobilicity SIM card will connect you to Rogers' GSM network and you switch to prepaid service.

What does /mnt stand for?

When I look at the "Files" folder on my archos, all the subfolders are from the path, lets say, /mnt/Andriod..etc Does this mean this is the path for the Internal Storage? If so, what is the path for system storage, since I am running low on space and would like to delete some useless downloads that probably did not fully erase themselves. Thank you!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alga42:
/mnt stands for 'mount point'. In the Unix tradition (and LSB standards) it's a directory where removable file systems are mounted to the tree. Archos is not entirely correct in using /mnt for everything else but /mnt/data, as all others are not removable file systems.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AranHei:
Thank you for your reply! Does that mean that the files under the /mnt path is part of the internal storage and works a bit like My Documents for computers? And all the rest are files stored in the system storage and is the one that occupies space where the apps are installed?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KOCTA:
This is not completely true. It's very simplified point of view.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyto21:
mnt stands for mount

I Have 9 more months left on my contract, but for some reason, I am eligible to upgrade, so I think I am goint to do that.

If I upgrade, what will happen to my contract? is it 9 months plus 24 more months? or just 24 months from the day I upgrade?

I also hear many known issues about this phone, so if I buy the phone through wirefly and have issues on my phone, can I still go to t-mobile store to get it exchanged?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1_enthusiast:
a simple call to customer care will give you the most straight forward answer and its 611 on ur dial pad...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Born_Immaculate88:
Your contract is extended 24 months from the day you start your new contract. If you buy your phone from wirefly then you will not be able to exchange it at a tmobile store, we cannot do returns/exchanges without a T-MOBILE receipt that has the transaction #, Original Transaction date, Phone # of the customer and other information needed to process the transaction. You will have the manufacturers 1 year warranty and whatever return policy they have for wirefly only unless you get the Premium handset protection on you phone line through T-Mobile.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Born_Immaculate88:
Where ever the phone is purchased is where it must be returned/exchanged to. In our retail stores we must have the original receipt to be able to process a return/exchange for a device. The only thing we would be able to do in the store for a device purchased else where is a warranty exchange through the manufacturer or insurance claim through Asurion if the customer has Premium Handset Protection on their line.

Hi, I'm using CheckROM Revolutin 1.0 and just flashing a new battery display from kitchen pro.

Now my battery display (at the top right notification bar) is always showing 85.

When I see in the setting, I got the right number which is 75.

Why the battery display still showing 85 ?

I tried to use another battery display from kitchen pro and it's the same.

Still showing 85.

Thanks for helping me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joezy07:
update condition,

now it's going down, but still not correct.

it's suddenly drop from 85 to 71 and the right number is 74 according to battery status in about phone setting.

anyone ever have this problem ?

Thx for helping.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshmiester78900:

I really don't know.

also do u know which 3g notifier is this on the notification bar ?

oh well...

I guess I really have to re-flash it to get it right.

Umm, I'm not quite sure what do you ask, but I recognize the 3g at the left part is from app Watchdog and 3g at the right, I think it's from Revolution Super Theme at kitchen pro.

Yes it does.
[HTC Incredible S] kk_creed:
well, i dunno why but it not seems to work for me. I did everything as per the instructions.

1. fast boot uncheck, flight mode

2. USB debugging on

3. downloaded revolutionary, got beta key

4. removed HTC sync, installed latest drivers

5. connected mobile in "charge only" mode

6. opened revolutionary as administrator

7. entered beta key

"Waiting for fastboot" .. it doesn't seem to be going further.:(

Did you download the HTC drivers from the Revolutionary documentation page?

Sounds like a driver issue to me.
[HTC Incredible S] kk_creed:
Yes I did..hard reset too.
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
As tpblake notes, this problem is usually associated with the HTC drivers.

Try installing the drivers given on the Revolutionary page

OR

try installing HTC software (Sync i think?) which contains these drivers.

it should work

Just make sure that the HTC Sync background process is not running on the PC when you attempt to run Revolutionary.

[Droid 2 General] kwyrt:
So, I flashed CM7 to my droid 2 following the instructions in the Cyanogenmod Wiki. When I rebooted my phone it got stuck on the Motorola "M" logo and won't do anything. I tried holding X and the power button to boot into recovery and it goes to the android guy with the ! in the triangle but then I can't get it to do anything after that. Hitting the search button on the keyboard does nothing. How do I fix this?
[Droid 2 General] [1up]:
This happened to me after trying to install miui roms. My only option was to do a sbf factory restore using rsdlite. I found a video tutorial on youtube. Just do a youtube search for droid2 factory sbf restore you should find it easily. Your gonna need 3 seperate files all available from the website in the video links.
[Droid 2 General] kwyrt:
Nuts. I was afraid it was going to be something like that. I will see if I can find the video on youtube. Thanks for your help!
[Droid 2 General] JDunc:
Stock recovery doesnt seem to work on Gingerbread, which is definitely not a good thing.
[Droid 2 General] kwyrt:
Before I got into the whole SBF restore using RSD Lite I did finally find a way to get into recovery. After holding the X and Power buttons to get to the little android guy I then discovered on another forum that you could hit both volume buttons as the same time and that finally did get me into recovery. Unfortunately, that did not do me any good. I tried wiping data and cache again and rebooting but didn't help. I then tried re-installing CM7 from there but it keeps aborting the install. I can't find my backup either although I have a feeling it would just abort like the CM7 install did. It appears to be the stock recovery as opposed to Bootstrap recovery. So, it looks like I am back to trying the SBF thing with RSD Lite. I will update this evening when I have a chance to try it.
[Droid 2 General] [1up]:
Once you have all the files restoring with rsd lite takes literally no more than 15 minute. Its a pretty simple process. Go to this website droid2hacks.com and look for the unroot unbrick tutorial. It worked for me no problem and has links to all the correct files you will need.
[Droid 2 General] kwyrt:
Thanks so much guys for your help. I was able to SBF back to Froyo and then used this guide (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/cy...rbread-rom-cm4d2-gb-now-ready-prime-time.html) to get CM7 installed. Everything seems to be working now! Droid 2 is definitely not the easiest phone to get a ROM installed on, but at least it's pretty easy to SBF and try again.

[TouchPad General] RojasTKD:
I've had my Touchpad for all of four days now. I know their are not a lot apps, but was happy with the basics (browser, e-mail, calender, music player, photo viewer and Skype), but was also looking forward to using TuneIn Radio and Pandora.

I've had two issues with TuneIn Radio.

First, I have an portable Bluetooth speaker (Monster ClarityHD) that I use with my Android tablet. It works well with the Touchpad, except it won't work with Tunein Radio (works with everything else including Pandora). As soon as it connects I can't hear any audio and as soon as I unconnect it the TP starts playing the audio again.

Secondly, Intune radio seem to every so often stop playing and buffer the audio. Some times for for a short time sometimes for a longer time. I tried it with Pandora today and didn't have any issues. Maybe it was just a slow connection that day, not sure. Is this normal with this app?

PS... was streaming Tunein radio just now and it did it again, this time a very short pause before it started playing again. But I've had it happen for so long I just closed the app after 20+ seconds.
[TouchPad General] VICODAN:
The second one is definitely a common bug with Tunein, just go back or go to another station and go back to the original station and it will work. Not sure about the first (bluetooth bug) I will test my bluetooth headset with it now.
[TouchPad General] RojasTKD:
Haha.... you must of posted just as I was typing.

Well, it a shame Tunein radio has this issue. Let me know how your bluetooth headset does. It just so odd that Tuneon is the only app that doesn't produce audio over Bluetooth.

Thanks!
[TouchPad General] RojasTKD:
BTW what Bluetooth headset do you have.

I used to have the Motorola S9 but the touch buttons stopped working from the sweat so I got the S9HD's that where suppose to have better moisture resistance, but they stopped working too.
[TouchPad General] VICODAN:
Tunein definitely doesn't work with Bluetooth. In fact sound completely stopped coming out of the speakers when I connected my bluetooth.

My headset:

[TouchPad General] ponyboy82:
OMG, it used to be bad, but for some reason TuneIn just constantly buffers for me now. I have it on Android too but it seems fine there, so I'm not sure what's up with the WebOS version.
[TouchPad General] RojasTKD:
Yeah, it works great on my Android tablet. I guess WebOS is the red headed step child of the OS world.
[TouchPad General] theshowman:
My car is connected via bluetooth to my G2x and MT4G and tunein has not issues with it. It plays great through bluetooth.

I just can't control it using the bluetooth controls.

So it must be some other problem for you.
[TouchPad General] RojasTKD:
This is specifically a TouchPad (WebOS) issue. TuneIn Radio works perfectly on my android devices.
[TouchPad General] scrizz:
just regular streaming my TP works fine in tunein and pandora webos and android.

[TouchPad General] KingKwentyne:
i just downloaded the app myself. I am running it on my touchpad with cm7 and it keeps on buffering and then says unable to start audio. I have never tried it with the webos. Is there a fix or any work around by any means?
