It's not meant to be secure, it's supposed to be for convenience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kirdroid:
This is old news and was all over the web when ICS Face unlock was revealed ... also it is just a cool feature and currently not meant to be a secure feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
I'm also sure when we're out in public we wouldn't want to do "face unlock" to unlock our phones ;) sometimes.. were just sick of seeing our own faces or maybe its just me :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EggoEspada:
Like everyone said, Google has said on numerous occasions its not as secure as the PIN, Pattern and/or Password unlock. Its more of an alternative from sliding to unlock rather than a security feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
thats what I love about people freaking out about, "its not secure oh nooo!!" Google does not pretend for it to be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
Not only is this old news but most people failed to understand the real purpose.

Aside from it being an alternative to the simple screen unlock. If you get robbed in the subway or on the street, how big is the chance that a person will have a photo of you to unlock it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhr:
not freaking out

I admit that Google does have the disclosure of this this why I mentioned it.

As I was posting I did search and see if anything was brought up.

It is a cool feature but I was not aware or was it there in orbit

Well then for the input

MODS please close, delete or ban me just kidding
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulG1488:
I vote for banning
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigP17:
This is nothing new. And its not a security feature. Its a neat way to unlock the screen.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toys Samurai:
It doesn't work for me. I am not saying it won't work, but it seems that the success rate is much lower than a real face -- I can clearly see the refreshing pattern of the other phone screen in the Face Unlock camera.

What worries me is unlocking the phone by someone resembling you. My elder son can unlock my young son's Galaxy Nexus with his face, so he decided not to use Face Unlock on his Galaxy Nexus 'cause he doesn't want his younger brother to unlock his phone. Sometimes, my younger son can unlock my wife's Galaxy Nexus. It works much less reliably than the true owner of the phone, though.
[Kindle Fire General] Scaevola:
I had problems installing some of the apps. When I tried to install them within the device, I was getting an application not installed error with no explanations.

When I tried adb install for these apps, I got the error message "missing library". However, this error was also a vague one, but after some searching I discovered that most of the time, the missing library is the Google Maps one.

If you are getting installation errors for specific apps, you can check the AndroidManifest.xml inside the apk file. You will probably see a phrase like the following: "u s e s - l i b r a r y  c o m . g o o g l e . a n d r o i d . m a p s"

Yet, simply installing Google Maps did not solve this problem for some reason.

So I went one step further to manually copy the necessary library files to the necessary folders. You can download the needed two files from the attachment below.

Get root access and copy the files to the following locations with the following permissions:

/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml (rw-r--r--)
/system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar (rw-r--r--)

Reboot your device and you can now install apps that got errors before.

I can confirm that this works for Winamp and Tiny Tower.
[Kindle Fire General] rorogio:
10x for the idea!

I have also noticed that the other files in those folders have also as Owner the

0 root

For any case I changed that too.

Do you know if this matters in any way?

But I still cannot install Monopoly HD for tablet, does anyone know a workaround?
[Kindle Fire General] rorogio:
Actually it is for android 3.0+

soo... I found Monopoly 0.0.42 which works flawlessly!

Hi.

Thanks for the great post.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] acles003:
Can we start one? Just info people are hearing about LTE coming to their area.

I'll start by adding that I am in a HSPA+ area Danbury, Connecticut. I get anywhere from 3-6 mbps download speed. The mayor on his twitter account said AT&T is testing in the area, and that it will be here sooner rather than later. When I went to FCC Spectrum Dashboard, I found that AT&T has two 700Mhz towers registered for Bridgeport, Danbury, and Stamford.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] E_man5112:
I'd love to see if AT&T has a planned roadmap or something. All I know is full rollout by 2013. Verizon got LTE into my area (Fresno, CA) in the middle of June. That's about 3-4 months after the Thunderbolt came out. If AT&T followed that, it would be coming soon, but I've heard nothing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] andgo23:
I get 3 to 5 with 3g in Melissa, TX. 16mbps with HSPA+. When I go into the city it's 26 to 56mbps.

We are not just north of Dallas. We are Melissa, TX.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Big Dawg 23:
Living in Minnesota, a Non LTE area for AT&T I hadn't experienced it on my Skyrocket . However I had to travel to KC for the weekend and put the SR through a string of tests. All I can say is HOLY HELL, LTE is amazing. Here is a screen capture of many of the tests.

I have isolated one of the tests, if accurate is unbelievable. I tested in Northern KC to Downtown to out in the suburbs like Independence.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jerrygooch:
Any info on lte in central Arkansas? More specifically Conway? I've heard rumors..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Shadeslayers:
I live in Corning, about 5 hours west of NYC. Get ATT '4G' HSPA... not HSPA+.

Get about 5MB down and 1.2MB up on a good day.. normally it's like 2.5 down and 1 up though. Can't wait until I get to go to NYC and test out the LTE there.

The fact that ATT has just started rolling out LTE means that when you DO get a signal, it will be extremely nice as not a lot of people are utilizing it yet. Also, you'll get LTE in areas that don't officially have it yet (as they're in the middle of rolling out the network) which is always a nice surprise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xlazaruzx:
I was in Queens few weeks ago and got to try LTE. I got between 23-30Mbps with 3 bars. Can't wait for Connecticut to get LTE.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] burhanistan:
I'm in Houston and average around 18 Mbps down/10Mbps up. Highest I've seen here was 35 Mbps at the airport. LTE coverage is pretty good all over the metropolitan area, and HSPA+ speeds are usually around 8 Mbps where LTE isn't available.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] frekimed:
So I went into Best Buy last week to get my girlfriend an A100 as a gift. They were out of stock, but the guy said he could order me one from the warehouse. I paid the $259 at the store and yesterday when I went to pick it up, lo and behold its the new 10.1" A200! What do you think, did I get a steal or what?

I have an iPad 2 and I'm jealous of this thing! The unboxing photos will follow.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] frekimed:
Some pictures of the unboxing...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jahciple:
and its a 16gb, thats a deal. but i like the 7in format better than 10in.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jschall:
Yes, the regular price is $350, so you got a bargain.

But no rear camera?

I don't understand why Acer thought they had to produce a stripped-down version of the A500.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] littleemp:
My best guess is that they'll cease production of the A500 in favor of the A700, but before they do they are making sure to introduce it's replacement in the new price bracket.

I don't really consider rear cameras a feature. Taking pictures/videos with a tablet is not something popular.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] frekimed:
Yeah no rear camera is a bummer, but not a huge deal. The cameras on the iPad are useless, I was kind of excited to see how the A100 stacked up.

I was buying it because she wanted the new nook tab and and for the same price I thought it was a good deal anyway. Shes actually really happy it's a 10" model because she wants to use it for studying.

So are these being sold yet? I've read they're not supposed to be out until Jan 15th.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
That's a great deal. Which bestbuy did you go to? Can you take a side profile shot? I'd like to see how thin it is. As far as rear camera who cares. No one really uses it. Do you notice any stutter or lag?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] toyface:
Hm I'm somewhat jealous. I love my A100 but am now looking to get a 10 incher for around the house and this would be good, not sure how fussed I am about quad core, but definitely not going to use a camera on a device this size. The A700 screen does look amazing, 1080p in ten inches, might be worth waiting for?

Toyface

Sent from my A500
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
From what Im reading the a700 is just a tech demo unit and might not even be produced to the masses. I was excited about it too. But I'm really hoping thats incorrect. I have a transformer prime now that I can still return but I have 2 days to decide. What I do like about quadcore is for majority of things its faster. Even when using HDMI it doesnt really slow down like my acer a100 which stutters quite a bit when HDMI is plugged in. And its really noticeable on my TV. The prime is super smooth. But a lot of apps are not optimized for quadcore so either it will act the same or other times it will be slower but sometimes it will be faster.

For everyday home use I think the a200 will do just fine though.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
I had the same problem using hdmi on the a100 but after I upgraded to build 2.007.4, teaked my build.prop, zipaligned all my apps, tweaked dalvik and the tegra config my tab flys even using hdmi. Its just as fast, if not slightly faster than my atrix. If I could just overclock.... it would be silly fast!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] toyface:
I can see what you're saying, I'd absolutely love a Prime as a full blown laptop replacement but the whole GPS thing would annoy me, have you any problems with yours?

Crossix, what is this tegra config you speak of? I've been using your build.prop for a few days now and it's great, thanks :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] frekimed:
I didn't get a profile shot, but I can tell you it has about the same profile as the a100. The back also has a nice rubber material that makes it super comfortable to hold. I bought it in Idaho (twin falls). And no lag at all, it's more responsive than my ipad2 for sure.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Shrapnel2:
I've had one of these since the 27th of December, picked it up for $399 NZD/$315 USD. Seems pretty solid for the price but nothing to special. One thing I noticed with mine is that the edges of the glass/screen at the corners have a bit of give and there are some kind of spots on the screen visible when there are lot's of prints/smudges on it with light shining at it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] qhinton:
How is the mic
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] andreagragnato:
I think rear camera is not essential but why should I produce a tab without it? I think is one of that thing that can be removed from a product in order to save money with the smallest loss in product's efficiently.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] garbagecanman:
Isn't the a200 suppose to be tegra 3 same with the a700 if that's released?

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] frekimed:
It is a Tegra 2 "T20"

My girlfriend took it into Best Buy the other day to get a case for it and they were all gawking over it and loving it. They asked her where she got it and when she told them the story they got all defensive. It was funny. Whoever was asking about the mic, it seems to work just fine. Used it just to play around on SoundHound and stuff.

But anyways. Its a great tablet and its upgradable to icecream sandwich.

Can you kindly post tweaks that you applied for dalvik cache? Did you manually zipaligned apps or was there zipaligned package already available? Thanks in advance for your reply!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] raycosm:
Does the A200 have HDMI out? I can't really find any references to it, although some people say that there isn't HDMI, which would be a pretty big deal breaker. Might as well just get a used A100.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] crossix:
dalvik tweak is included in my custom build.prop and I have a script that does the zipalign on boot. I'm working on another series of tweaks at the moment that should hopefully help smooth out hdmi playback, but it may be after ics comes out before I get it finished.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] frekimed:
I'll check next time I get my hands on it. If I remember right, there are two ports on the left side; one is a full-size USB and the other I assumed to be some sort of mini-HDMI, but I'm unsure. It could just be a mini-USB, but that doesn't make sense to me.

Also, she rented a movie on Android Market the other day and it said that it couldn't be played on a "rooted" device. I haven't done anything in terms of modding/hacking to this tablet, so is the A200 rooted by default? What does this mean?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] wtatters:
A200 has . a miniusb for slav mode connections to your computer and a full size USB for host mode connections to devices like USB sticks and keyboards etc

No the a200 is not rooted by default ... sounds like a drm issue

No HDMI, no rear camera although host USB is sweet.

The A200 is just right for me. I didn't want those features and I didn't have to pay for them. This thing is snappy! (compared to my rooted Nook Color which just croaked)

So far I'm really pleased with the A200.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Hungongravity:
I sat at Best Buy for about 3 hours today trying to decide between the a100 or 200 and picked up the 200.

1) Has anyone noticed that the Acer logo on the front gets hot when the screen is on full brightness?

2) Skype and Google Talk seem sluggish, although I only tested with an ipad 2 using iOS Skype and Vtok.

3) Typing in comment boxes in XDA and Facebook are pretty buggy, can't delete sometimes or accurately place the cursor in between letters.

I'm going to chalk these up to it being a new device, everything else is pretty solid for Honeycomb.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Dannar:
So, it seems everybody is *****ing about the locked botloader on the a100. Can we only assume that the 200 is similarly locked down?

Thinking of getting this for my wife. Rear facing camera on a tablet is useless anyway, no tears shed for that. I keep hearing that it has no HDMI, and yet it lists a miniHDMI port. Whay's that for then?

I returned a Lenovo Ideapad K1 (nice price, cheap construction) and picked up an Iconia Tab a200 instead at Staples. I'm quite pleased with it. Nice feel, much smaller bezel than the a500. Thicker than the Transformer Prime, Galaxy Tab 10.1, or iPad 2, but not unreasonably thick. I like it the best of the tablets I own (this one, an iPad 1, an HP TouchPad, and a Blackberry Playbook). In fact, I like it so much I kind of want an a100 now, since there are times when I grab the Blackberry for the smaller size.

Wifi Performance

Can anyone tell me how the wifi performance is when distanced from the router?

My reason for asking is I am one of those that had a bad experience with Asus TF201 WIFI performance which made me return it.

Appreciate the feedback.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tweaked:
I got mine on Friday nite. I am currently outside on my porch, a ways away from my router and I have great performance. This thing is butter. I did however upgrade it to the leaked ics.

Thanks

Thanks Tweaked. I've been getting good responses from many others that the wifi on this is pretty good. They are still running Honeycomb. Thanks again.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Eddie Hicks:
I own an ASUS TF201 that I shipped back to ASUS 2 weeks ago to have the no GPS and weak wifi issue hopefully repaired. I purchased an Acer A200 a couple of days ago. I can tell you as the owner of both devices, the wifi and GPS is much, much better on the Acer. I could not connect to a single satellite with the Asus Prime and the wifi range was weak with very slow connections when not in the room with the router. The Acer finds and connects to satellites and does it fast. I get fast wifi connections on the Acer in areas of my home where I could barely connect at all on the Asus. On the Acer I do not care about the rear camera but I'm not happy about it not having HDMI. I also wish it had Tegra 3, 4-core processor like the ASUS. The Acer is slightly thicker but not overly so. The Acer has a soft rubber type back that for me is more comfortable than the ASUS. The Acer's grip is better and I don't feel like it can slip out of my hands like the slick metal back of the ASUS. If my ASUS does not come back repaired to my liking I will probably sell it and keep the Acer. If the ASUS is fixed I'll keep it and give the Acer to my wife.
