Bug report:

Does not auto start after reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterchif92:
the eye on the statusbar is always close in the lite version and after reboot it doesn't start it do nothing what is the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lonespeaker:
I've set the pro version to check every 25 seconds and I have a screen off setting of 30 seconds. I have noticed that things get out of sync and the screen stays on longer than 30 seconds if iseeyou checks just before this 30 seconds are up.

I wonder if it would be therefore be better (and better for battery life too) if instead of setting a face scan timer, iseeyou simply subtracts a few seconds from the screen off settings (in my case 30 seconds, so the app checks at 27 seconds) and if it detects my face, reset the screen off timer, otherwise the screen turns off as planned 3 seconds later?

and thanks for a great app!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mirarchi:
Sorry, my fault. Upped a new version that corrects the bug. Thank you for reporting!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mirarchi:
This is normal. If ISeeYou detects you at 27 the screen will stay on until the next scan (25 seconds in your case) + max scan time set.

It could be a good idea, but in this case i should monitor the activity state of the system because i must see if there is a user interaction on the screen. When the user touches the screen i should reset my internal timer. I should grab all the click events of the touch. This is possible (already tested) but has a negative impact on the system (slowdowns and crashes). For this reason i chosen the polling approach (such as the smartstay) :D. Thanks anyway for your suggestion!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LordManhattan:
Tried it on my Note running ParanoidAndroid. It works just fine :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
I have yet to find a fault in this version.... other then the persistent icon driving me crazy lol its running great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
I just think the app should work like this...

the phone detects me>>>screen on

the phone doesn't detect me>>>screen off

and the screen off time should be the next scan time+the max.scan time

so, if i set like this..

detect every 2 seconds

max.scan time 1 second

the screen should be off after 3 seconds when the phone does't detect me

sorry for my poor English..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Glen L:
hi, Mirarchi. Its working on my HTC ONE X. But after a while, my HTC ONE X suddently rebooted.

Happened once so far.. will continue to observe.

Im using a custom kernel, and ROM.

By the way, can I suggest that instead of having the eye blink once when it detects your face, to have the eye kept open when it detects your face and closed when it no longer sees your face?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taycuong76:
Do detecting eye-activities every 2 secs may drain battery

Your English is quite good, at least better than mine.

But if you set the prog to do detect eye-activities every 2 secs, then the prog may drain your battery.

It is reasonable to set the detect time to go off some secs before the system is set to turn off the screen.

Is my very own opinion. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masterchif92:
hy men i have a problem the app doesn't lock the screen when it is on the table (when doesn't detect my face) which are the settings to make it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
But I think the screen should turn off when it doesn't detect my eyes, if I still need to wait the screen off by at least 15seconds(in the phone setting), I don't think it is smart.

Or maybe I get something wrong on the concept?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taycuong76:
One hand, it may drain your battery. I think about 15s is enough for people to be efficient and for Note to be smart. Image you fall asleep while reading web and 15s after it turn off screen.

Other hand, 2 secs is a too short period, so Note may misunderstand you and turn off the screen unexpectedly when you just wink unintentionally. :)

Maybe I don't get you right, but what I mention here is to compare and balance "how much of smart it is" and "how much battery to use for it".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JuninhoCelular:
I think it will drain so much battery in this case, and the camera wouldnt be available all this time too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
2secs is just a example only, it can also set by 15 secs or others, but my concern is that "can the app control the screen off time when the phone doesn't see me?"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mirarchi:
This isn't related to the app because doesn't affect the lockscreen. Check your android lock settings.

In this stage the app can't control the screen of time (or can't reset the default screen timeout). It simply scans your face every N seconds for T seconds. So the maximum screen timeout is N+T. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mirarchi:
Good idea, maybe in the next version! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dissaor:
Just want to keep track on this thread, sounds amazing keep up the good work, cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
So I don't think its working on my tablet.... using a Acer a510 and it's not working at all... not sure how to test the front camera to see if it has face recognising software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
So, if I set the default screen timeout for 1min, the maximum screen timeout is still N+T?even the screen timeout is longer than the N+T?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meminiau:
I second this idea.

I bought your app today, and it seems to be doing what it should :-) But I too would like to see the eye open like suggested above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zbc:
Same here :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juninjs:
have tried and liked a few things to adjust, nothing that lets imperfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mirarchi:
A little update, i'm working on a version that changes totally the way on taking the picture from the camera. From the crash reports received, i see that the most crash cause is while taking the picture. Also this impact the overall perfomance of the device. Try to see a 1080p video while using the app. It will lack (and this is bad). Now i'm testing a new way for taking the picture and it seems very fast. The video playback now seems to be NOT affected and it is smooth. Also working for other FC issues, so stay tuned! And please continue to report FC other issues and requests! Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
Excited!! Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Mirarchi, you just made the front page of engadget, congrats!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac75:
Agree with this. Wasn't sure initially whether it was working properly, partly because I'd seen screen shots with the eye open icon so was expecting it to behave just like mentioned above.

One suggestion/question. Is it possible to halt the service when the camera app (or any other app wishing to use the camera) starts to avoid the conflict rather than have to wait a few seconds and retry?

Nice app. Looking forward to see how it develops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] starbase64:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tableuraz:
Hi, I just bough your app today, it's quite great but there is one thing that is quite anoying, the countdow before face detection seems to be restarting by itself once it reached zero and not taking care of the touches on screen, I would suggest to make your app detect when screen is touched and start the countdown from there to avoid screen turing off because we touched it and it didn't detect our face before screen countdown reached zero (I'm not sur if I'm making sense to you) :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
The reset on touches I believe he said cannot be done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mirarchi:
Thanks guys, is a pleasure!

Try to see the new version of the app. Should be available as update in google play.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] le0.br4zuc4:
How does this app affect the battery life since it keeps the camera app working? Or it doesn't really have a big impact on battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
Try the demo and see for yourself...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tableuraz:
Also I just saw that the service was still running when screen was off as the eye icon just indicated me it detected my face one second or two after turning the device on, having this service running while screen is off is both useless and power consuming.

And wouldn't it be possible to "synchronise" the app with screen countdown so it tries to detect our face before turning off, doing so would allow users to simply set screen time in their phone settings without having to mess with the app settings ;)

And it would also allow lower power consumption somehow :good:

I'll be monitoring this thread and looking forward for updates as the app is not really useable at the moment, but it has a great potentiel and would bring this handy functionnality to a large amount of devices :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
How is it not useable? I have been using it from day one and haven't seen an increase in battery drain at all. Not a single bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PapaWangsta:
Hey there! For some reason this app conflicts with, "GotYa! Face trap!" app.

Here's problem I've encountered so far:

1. GotYa! Face trap! app., was disabled out of blue, and resets all my settings. Thanks Titanium backups to the rescue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac75:
That seems to work better and is a more logical implementation of the notification icon, I think.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
would someone show us some great setting for the app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tableuraz:
It WAS not really useable because of some slowdowns and the way it was working (independant countdown before detection restarting by itself and not taking care of how the mobile was working) but now with screen on/off detection (with new version) it's a little bit better! :good:

Now the app has to synchronise its countdown with the screen's countdown (instead of detecting screen-touches which is apparently not possible) which would mean that everytime somebody touches the screen and that the screen countdown starts, the app countdown restarts and then if there is no touches it restarts by itself also.

This would avoid an issue that makes the screen turn-off anyway because if the apps countdown restarts every 20 seconds and that screens countdown is set to 30 seconds after some cycles the app doesn't detect our face before screen countdown reaches zero :-/

I'm not sure if I'm clear but I'm talking about real integration here ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mirarchi:
I'm working on this, and i can announce that the next version will have an option that can disable the polling mode. I found a way to intercept the touch events so i can synchronize with the set screen timeout. In this way the camera scanning should work only few moments before the screen goes off.

This update should resolve also the camera access issue.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fifarunnerr:
Would like to see an option to remove the notification :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mirarchi:
Unfortunately this can't be done due to android system. The app is set to run in foreground mode so that android should not be kill the ISeeYou process. This mode needs a persistent notification icon that tells the user that there is a persistent process running in his system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MattSkeet:
How Samsung did it than? Did they build that function in to android or something?

Could you also explain how this app works in free version? What I want to know is how not activates itself and for how long etc.... And what does the blinking mean... If it means that it's scanning for my face while I'm typing this msg its a definite un install of the app as it just eats the hell of the battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artukas613:
We just asking for option. Other "foreground must" apps have it. Some of us will not mind if it was sometimes killed, in favor of not seeing notification.

:-)

Sorry for my English.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
Any idea as to when that will come! The update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tableuraz:
Man, I love you! :victory:

For this notification thing, wouldn't changing the process priority fix the Android killing issue? This would require Root access I guess but when the first versions of ICS on the Sensation came out, Android kept killing Sense, then some guys found a fix by changing the process priority ;)

I can't wait for the next version, keep up the good work! :good:

Here, I found this quite instructive Process | Android Developers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mirarchi:
Maybe i've found also a solution for this. There is much work to do and the time is very low but maybe in the week i can release the new version. Stay tuned!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mirarchi:
New version released (1.3)

v1.3: New user interface. Added the Intelligent Timeout system. This will disable the polling mode and detects the user inactivity and will enable the camera T seconds before the screen off event where T is a custom parameter. To enable it, press the settings icon and activate the proper accessibility service. If the service is disabled, the app will use the old polling system with the defined settings. Added finally the possibility to switch off the Notifications.

Added also backwards compatibility. Now the app should be compatible with the latest gingerbread devices (API level 9).

Let me know the results.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
Great! Unfortunately it doesn't work on jelly bean :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mirarchi:
For all those users that have FC issues, try to clear the app data, or simply uninstall and reinstall the app.

It should work, also on Jelly Bean
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosemachinegun:
Hi Marco,

Thanks for the great work you're doing with this app.

I have a new problem since the update today. Switching on ISU in the accessibility menu appears to activate parts of the TalkBack service on my phone.

When webpages load the phone will begin to read off subject lines and if I tap a section of text it will read off the paragraph for me. Seems like some wires were crossed somewhere. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
Don't have that issue.

However I am having an issue with the screen not turning off even if it doesn't detect me.

I'm running 4.1.

So I loaded the new version. Its set up properly. Now what happens is it doesn't see me. The screen times out as per normal but then I think the app turns it back on as if it was touched. Not sure what's going on... I would try to get you a log cat but I can't load them on 4.1 for some reason.

Hope this helps somewhat...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mirarchi:
1.4 version avalable. If you don't want to wait for play updating it, check the first post. There is a link for lite version :)

Enjoy!

Sorry for delay.

I'm working for the first point. It should be fixed in the next releases.

The "seconds before timeout" parameter is a setting expressed in seconds that tells the app how many seconds should pass before the app activates the scan before the screen timeout. Suppose to have a screen timeout of 30 seconds. If you set the param to 10, if app detects an idle time up to 20 seconds the app will start scanning your face until the real screen timeout is reached (or until you are detected).

I'm also informing you that the 1.4.1 version was released!

I have introduced a new intelligent timeout system that doesn't use an accessibility service any more and added a "test" mode with orientation correction to see if your face is detected.

Also added the support for Nexus 7 devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arhung:
Can I just use the default setting and have the best result with the app and for my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosemachinegun:
I was able to isolate the text-to-speech problem. It's caused by having the ISU service running while "install web scripts" is also checked. No problems since I unchecked it. It's an odd conflict though.

Edit: this isn't a conflict at all, that's simply what 'install web scripts" does in the first place. I must have accidentally checked it while activating ISU and foolishly blamed ISU for it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wgabi:
thanks,

this is what we really need :good:

it works well enough, sometimes miss my face and the screen goes off, but very rarely. generally works for me (on paranoid android 1.1)

one thing: if i turn away from my phone, let's say after 10 sec (i set the time off for 30 sec) and the screen gets dimmed after another 5 sec, even if i turn back to the phone, it stays dimmed as long as i looking at it. is there a chance to fix this, so the screen could go back to the set brightness if iseeyou detects that i'm still there and looking at my device?

also - what "seconds before display timeout" exactly means? does it mean it will check my face in "n" seconds before my set display timeout? so if i set my screen off after 30 sec, and this value at 25, it would only check my face 5 sec before the 30 sec limit, or it means it will check my face in every 5 sec now.

it is a bit confusing to me, even though it has only a few settings :confused:
