I love how fast the Fast Unlock feature is... but I was curious as to how secure the facial recognition technology actually is.

I did a test today with my father and my brother-in-law try to see if they could unlock the OP6 with their faces. My father and I look relatively similar and my brother-in-law, while there is no blood relation, has similar facial features.

To my surprise, the Oneplus 6 unlocked for both of them! I removed my current face profile, set it again, and have them try a second time and the phone unlocked again.

I'm going to continue to experiment with this with other friends (one's who have similar features as well as those with distinctly different features) and see if I can continue to reproduce these results.

Community: Has anyone else experimented with this? If so, what was your result?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] blinkin:
Interesting [emoji106] will watch the thread... The technology should be similar to the oneplus 5t so maybe there your will find some more info?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rmaathuis:
Was it not because you were near the phone and that it also saw your face when they tried to unlock it?

I never heard before that someone could have fooled the phone with face unlock.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
Yes, it's not secure. My friend picked up my phone and it unlocked. ?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] B3501:
Just tried it and surprising yes, it seems other people can unlock mine with their face [emoji50]
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Neil_Armstrong_:
that sounds strange.

Mod Edit
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] azsl1326:
I tested it out on my daughter and she was able to unlock it with face unlock. It's not very secure.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] phillibl:
If you're worried about security don't use biometrics.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
Without dual cameras and 3d rendering face unlock is not secure
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ysco:
Hmm not secure indeed on op6. I tested and keep my hand on half off my face and it still unlocks. On my 5t it works way better? Disable face unlock till issue is solved, I thought that oneplus said that face recognition was improved on op6.

Regards ysco..
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] herecomesmaggi:
Yupp, I removed it.. When my father just took the handset to admire the outer body and it unlocked within 2 seconds when he pressed unlock button.. I tried it again and it unlocked again.. So I removed this bull**** from security..

I thought , one day I will find my dad reading my sex chat.. Prevention is better the cure.. I just removed it without saying a word.. ????
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dizM0nkey:
No, was not next to him... I locked the phone and handed it to him across the table. He pressed power and the phone scanned his face and unlocked.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kawaiiDango:
I think OnePlus's "fast" face unlock is much worse than stock. It just traces out the rough geometry
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] B3501:
Yeah, that's why it's so fast. It's not at all secure, more of a gimmick.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kieeps:
Dont care much for security....but är missed the lockscreen too much, had to dissable Face Unlock again :P
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] A.Priori:

Just makes me wonder what other features and solutions are gimmicks... What else did they skimp on...:rolleyes:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] shal99:
I thought OnePlus already mentioned that the face unlock is not secure.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iElvis:
I turned off Face Unlock because it was so fast I could never see my notifications. :p The fingerprint scanner works well enough for my taste.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stroky:
How is the battery consumptions for you guys?

It is listed in the stats?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dgunn:

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] masri1987:
for me it's not that it's permissive but the face unlock feature seems to be running a lot in the background because it'll turn the screen on and say "face not detected" by itself

Please don’t delete this topic it’s fair warning!

I hate to be right sometimes but as I told long ago after years of testing it turns out that the best camera of Samsung was in S6 / S6Edge+. Test it yourself. Hold S6 in one hand and for example S8 in the other and take a photo in good light. Then zoom it on the phone and you will see that S6 has better details, no artificial brightener while for example S8 has it.

S6 has 16 Mpix and all flagships that came after had 12 Mpix rear camera.

I’ve tested S6 Edge Plus vs. S7 / S8 / S8+, Note8, S9, S9+ and…

only S9+ finally beat S6. (look how Samsung did bad for us from Sep2015 till March2018)

I wish I had NOT sale my S6 and bought a newer one :(

If You don't believe me? Ask XDA members who has S6 and a later Galaxy S model (but not S9+)

This is a Warning for You don't sell your S6!!!! or sell only if you can afford to buy S9+.

I did the wrong thing so I Warn you no to make the same mistake that I did
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] panchuckles:
So, you say s6 is better than s8 (in camera) because resolution?

Then my xperia S (12 mpx) has the same camera quality like s8, right?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] androidbadboy:
I didnt say that. I know that res/Mpix is not the final thing in judgeing the cam quality.

The purpose of this post was to warn all of ppl that DO want to use only smartfion to take pics.

I have no agenda against S8+. I just know that a lot of ppl are massivly abandoning S6 cause they think that cam will be significntly better on a newer Galaxy. Out of my good heart I want to spare them the dissapointment.

Like I said if a person wants to change S6 only for pics quality reason they should buy nothing less than S9+ otherwise they will be sadly dissapointed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] andy_n_:
I disagree. My s8 takes much better photos than my s6.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] androidbadboy:
With all respect to You.

Why is that my S6E+ made 1000 photos of comparing (in bright light of course) since the lanuch of S7 till the launch of S9/S9+

And...

There's a post on XDA where expert members of XDA (high lever, maybe dev even) do agree with me.

Can anyone help me ?

How can I remove those 5 bloody icons in my bottom right corner - status bar ???

Asus status, Wifi, Bluetooth, Screen Rotation ...

Take a look the picture:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] LGSilva:
Search for "tray icon remove"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] seatone:
1. The screen rotation icon:

\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Services \ ACS

RotationTray = 0

2. The Bluetooth icon:

\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ WIDCOMM \ BTConfig \ UserInterface

TrayIcon = 0

3. "A" sign and Wifi icon: just delete from Windows/StartUp the asusstatus.lnk file

Soft reset your device

In case you want the base menus to disappear (Notifications, contacts), just run the Vijay today shrink tool and reset your device (You won't see the notification area, but it will be accessible through the hardware buttons).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sphinxy:
Just a quick question - Does anybody know how to remove the USB PC Connection icon?

I have the bottom taskbar to be hidden (PHM TodayShrink). But when i connect to activesync on my PC, a scrollbar on my right shows up and nothing is popped up in the System Tray. Its like its invisible but i know its because of the PC USB Connection.

Any ideas how to get rid of this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jembot:
remove usb connection tray icon

This method doesn't actually remove the icon setting in the registry. It just doesn't use the connection mode with the icon.

In my ASUS P750, i changed the Settings >> System >> USB Setting to "Turbo Mode".

Upon doing this, the pesky connection icon won't show up anymore on the taskbar. :)

I believe on other devices this is called "Advanced USB Services" and is a checkbox. Coz i have an old PDA that has the same setting. Hope this helps.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Max_Terrible:
You realise and understand these devices can do a lot more than just take pictures, right? They're intended to be used for more than just a camera. All the newer devices has better features and hardware that people might need more than just what a quick photo looks like. If image quality in photos are that important, just get a proper DSLR camera and use the smartphone for all the other features it was intended to be used for.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Praks93:
The tiny distance between the 2 cameras when you click the picture, or the very slight change in ambient light if the pictures are consecutively to each other, is enough for the camera to choose a different ISO. This impacts perceived detail more than you might believe it does. Besides, the sensors after the S6 were larger and therefore more difficult to stabilise optically. It follows that you cannot evaluate perceived detail without professionally controlled conditions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] stonedpsycho:
If a camera is very important, buy a DSLR.

Do not buy a phone just for the camera, they are only meant for the day to day snaps, which they do very well.

Good to know but could you put here some samples?

To all malcontents its not normal while company is saying that the camera is improved between generations but in final its not. Its a fraud. Cheat should come out into the daylight
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] androidbadboy:
During years with my 1000 photos taken by S6EPlus from launch od S7 till launch of S9/S9+ I did it for myself cause Samsung kept on saying that that the photo quality is better in good light than previous S models. So I went to the electronics shop. I one hand I had my phone and in the other the newer Galscy version. I joined hands, pointed forward in the same linear direction and I have taken a photo with both (same options on both, for example HDR). Then I opened in both phones the gallery and I looked very intesnly with no zoom and with zoom whsat the quality was.. the S6EPlus won with all but not with S9+. But I did not have the photos from these other models troughout the years cause I was doing it for my self to check my theory that Samsung will be lying about much camera improvment.

Hence no photos. I wasnt planing then to warn everybody. I myself wanted to buy S7E and all the next phones cause I beleived that maybe the next and next model with have a batter cam. I waited 3 years, 3 generations till the emerge of S9+ that I can truely say that in good light S9+ makes better photos than my S6E+. I was planning to buy it but I didnt have enough money :(

Go and make changes as shown below

<patch name = "gain-media-headset">

<ctrl name = "HPOUT2L Impedance Volume" value = "123" />

<ctrl name = "HPOUT2L Input 1 Volume" value = "36" />

<ctrl name = "HPOUT2R Input 1 Volume" value = "36" />

Save & Reboot

This Mod actually disable powersaving mode

Go to Root->System->Etc->sapa_feature.xml

Go and make changes as shown below

<support name = "support_powersaving_mode" value = "false" />

Save & Reboot

Finally, Download & Install latest Poweramp Beta (with HD HI-Res output support)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] orkavaneger:
Tried it and from what I can tell it only increases the max volume, not amplifies it. It's even called "gain-media-headset".

HPOUT2L is increased while the right channel is not which means if you want to do this you need to set HPOUT2R to the same volume. The powersaving did nothing at all during my testing and i tried with 1000kbps tracks through poweramp.

Hello guys,

I'm experiencing a weird problem on custom roms (except for the oxygen based custom roms) when having a call while my earphones are plugged in.

Indeed, both mics, from the earphones and from the phone itself, are fonctionning. This is pretty annoying as usually my phone is in my pocket when making that kind of call so i hear the friction noise of the phone against my pocket.

Does anyone else experienced it or have a solution ?

Thanks in advance for helping me guys, have a nice day !
