I read/saw somewhere that the S2 has the ability to unlock using facial recognition.
Have anyone of you also heard/discovered this or am I dreaming up fairy tale features
Hamid
P.S. Loving the S2, just made the switch from the X10
Yea i see it on a video. aint got my s 2 yet though so cant help ya. In the video it was the same settings page as set screen lock patern etc if that helps.

This would be amazing if we can use this!
by the time that thing recognizes face and unlocks, most people would've used their phone to watch a whole movie til then : P
in actual firmware there isn't

So, Samsung lied again. Another further was taken off.
NFC - gone
Face Recognition - gone
What next...?
What about Korean devices
I wonder if Korean devices has facial recognition, as it also has NFC. Any Korean device owners here who can verify?

The facial recognition on the phone isn't for unlocking it's when you taking a photo you can tell it to look for faces then it focuses on them like most cameras now
There's a Youtube video somewhere showing a demo of the phone, and facial recognition unlock is definitely present.
I heard this some where some feature from MWC aren't included maybe they will put it in 2.3.4?? That browser rotation animation isn't there any more??

Apparently the facial recognition unlock worked with photo's too, so I'm not really surprised if they did take it out, it's not a very secure feature. Cool, but not secure.
This feature can be seen here:

I can imagine my missus pointing the phone at my face to unlock while I'm asleep, yeah cool to have, but won't use and don't miss it
Software update can bring this feature
Look at this future app/s

I'm getting extremely frustrated with the glitch that we all see on a daily basis: quick locking/unlocking of the phone will yield the unlocked screen followed by the lockscreen. How has this not yet been fixed by Google? Does anyone have a workaround? So stupid and unprofessional. It makes me sad :-(
What?

Lock your phone then immediately press the lock button again to get to lockscreen. Tell me you don't see the previous screen for a split second before the lockscreen shows up.

That's BS. It happens almost every time and on every Android device. It's not long at all, but there's no way that every time you try a speedy lock/unlock that you don't get a glimpse of what's hiding behind the lockscreen. It's the same thing with apps that have lockscreen widgets (like PowerAMP). Sometimes I'll get a glimpse of the stock lockscreen and then the PowerAMP lockscreen widget will show up.
Android seems to have a serious issue dealing with sleep mode and knowing what to do on wake.
well... it doesnt happen on my sgs2, my missus' sgs2 or on my asus transformer.
Whats the big deal anyway?
Try calming down and chilling out..... its only a phone.

I can GUARANTEE that it happens on your S2. It happened on my HTC Magic, N1 and my current SGS2. Maybe you don't notice it, but it's definitely there. I'm uploading a video now to demonstrate what I mean, including the PowerAMP issue.
FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone said:
Yeah, it happens. But I don't see it as a security flaw, sure for a split second you can access an unlocked screen but after that the pattern lock comes up followed by my widgetlocker screen
This does need to be fixed I agree.

Thanks for the USEFUL response! I don't see it as a security flaw either, just a massive unprofessional bug. TBH, it's things like this that are the reason why the iPhone is seen to be smoother and more polished. I don't have an iPhone, so I can't ABSOLUTELY GUARANTEE, but I'm pretty damn sure that something like this would never happen. And don't get my started on "only 1 phone to test on"; this has happened on ever Android device I have owned.
As you can see above, the issue is definitely there. Even if it is for a SPLIT second, it still happens and it shouldn't. And the issue with the PowerAMP lockscreen delaying for nearly 3 seconds should NEVER happen. Hell, I just tried it 15 times straight on my 2nd generation iPod touch, and it didn't happen once.
Honestly, if it takes Android purportedly DELAYING the screen wake by a second just to ensure that this doesn't happen, it's worth it IMO.
I see it when the phone has locked itself but not when I lock it using the power button.
I wonder if because the screen is off before actually locking the new lockscreen is not displayed until the screen is turned back on.
Agree it looks like sh1t when it does it.

I think he just means the "iPhone is better" war.
Not doing it here on KI8. I flashed and did a factory reset, wiped the dalvik cache and re-installed my apps and theres not a single glimpse of the screen under the lock screen.
I use a screen lock widget to turn off and lock the screen and the centre button to wake up the phone.
Trust me when i say it isn't happening on mine, it has done it previously and that's why i started using Widget Locker instead...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
i just spent the last 15 minutes trying this out on my KI3 custom ROM...not happening, goes straight to the lock screen (believe me, im anal about things...)
I think it depends whats on the phone, what settings are used, the kernel etc...
As its something we DONT all suffer from, will you change the thread title?
And you're following along exactly with how I'm describing? Immediate lock and unlock?
And anyway, I'm talking about STOCK Android without any "help". WidgetLocker/custom ROM isn't stock.

Yes me too, I have nearly burned my fingers off swiping my screen, and power button off. No problems with my K14 stock rom.
Maybe you need to clean up the App Cache, and use a memory booster as well?
Just a thought!
Sorry dont do split seconds .

it does happen for me as well.. but yes only a split second.. i just lived with it.. think of it as a "feature" lol
I agree it happens on every android phone....heck its android lol! When i think of android i think of bugs lol. Again its very minor but u want see it on a apple device. Still love my SGS2 to biiits
Sent from my iphone look a like powered by android!
This irks me greatly, since it seems to have gotten worse on KI3. Has currently annoyed me to the point of trying a stack of different ROMs to see if any of them are better. CM7 is - shame it's not quite at a daily driver level yet.

It was repeated all over in the G5 section, the only unlockable version is the european H850.
Also the H830 has root and twrp, but these are the only two models.
Thats dumb.
Sent from my LGUS992 using Tapatalk
One has to realize that the developers who courageously "get root" for us do so on their own time. Not only that, on their own dime as well. In the trial and error process of unlocking the bootloader the risk of nuking their devices is high (and quite a few developers have nuked this model and others). And they go and buy another, so they can continue development. This gets very expensive.
And most importantly, with devices like the G5 - it takes time.
So while it's easy for one to respond "that's dumb", etc - I guess the above points are completely disregarded. Or perhaps not even known in the first place.
Most importantly, we are at the will of the developers. If they feel they are being disrespected, amongst other things - it would not be unreasonable for them to halt development. Please keep all of this in mind.

I understand all that they go through and are doing and i appreciate it, i meant no disrespect. Im just saying its dumb that lg doesnt let you unlock the bootloader. I came from a moto x 2014 and all i had to do to unlock the bootloader was sign up on a website and do some other stuff.

At this point, the h830 and h850 are the only models that can be rooted due to being able to unlock the bootloader.
Hey guys, just one question for those of you who already have root. Didn't want to open a new thread.
When using Nova launcher, are you able to unlock the phone without it requesting a pin to be entered?
I really need this answer, going nuts with a stock launcher

First of all thank you for responding
Well the point is, with LG stock launcher you can set up pin protection but it works in conjunction with the fingerprint reader meaning that when you unlock the screen with fingerprint phone is not asking for a pin entry. You are however able to double tap to power the screen and then enter pin to unlock if for some reason you do not want to use reader.
Let me ask again Are you able to do mentioned above with Nova and root? Can you maybe test for me

Good grief, what a pain to set that up :laugh:
Sometimes I can unlock it by just touching it with the finger I set up, but other times I get "Unable to use fingerprint" and have to use the pin. I'd say it's about 50/50
No idea why it sometimes works and other times doesn't, but I'm removing the lock again now ... way too much hassle

Hey man, I'm also using Nova Launcher on my LG G5 H860 (no root tho - obviously - woe is me!), and I use the finger print scanner AND a pattern. I think LG suspect that the fingerprint scanner alone is not enough security, so they make us use a pattern or pin on top of that. At least that's my guess since I was immediately prompted to add the pin, password or pattern after setting up my fingerprints. Also, upon rebooting, EVERY TIME I have to put in my pattern. The fingerprint alone is not enough to gain access.
I'm guessing it would depend on the ROM you use, not particularly the launcher. But let us know how you go... Have you rooted yet?
Nice avatar BTW. \m/

It's actually a backup option I think, in case when fingerprint reader fails. Makes sense
System is not letting other apps take control over the phone even though they are listed as device administrators. It's a new security measure introduced with MM.
Of course everything changes when you have root privileges
I've rooted the phone yesterday. Nova can now unlock the phone with just a fingerprint. Also installed the Viper audio mod and deleted a few system apps.
Right now I'm investigating how to prolong the super brightness mode so it can last longer than lousy two minutes
Glad to hear someone appreciates the sound of perseverance \m/ \m/

The PIN is, just as you said, a backup security measure. If you're rooted you can go and download a fingerprint add on through Xposed.. that means Only your fingerprint is needed to unlock your device.

Don't have G5 so I can't test or even know if what I'm saying is correct, but I was looking through the G5 git tree and saw the super brightness mode seems to be called HL_MODE standing for LGE_HIGH_LUMINANCE_MODE, there's referenced to it in the code, you could probably edit it there then compile and it will most likely work, however it seems it's also with references to the kernel so you probably gonna have to edit both the kernel and ROM simultaneously to make things easier...

Has this happened to anyone? Like after a couple of hours of inactivity, it sometimes requires you to enter PIN before allowing users to use biometric unlock method. It says ' For your security, use your PIN to unlock your phone. You can use biometrics next time.' As shown screenshot attached below.
The weird thing is, this happens, sometimes it doesn't, and biometric unlock works fine without needing to enter PIN again.
Not a big issue, but kinda annoying needing to enter PIN from time to time
Yeah, I get that every now and then, too. Guess it's Android's (or Samsung's) way of making sure someone hasn't managed to fool the fingerprint or face unlock.

Greetings,
My S8+ (Oreo) is doing the same since day 1. My S5 (Marshmallow) was also doing it, it was asking for password and not allowing use of fingerprint from time to time. Many people have the same issue but no solution / reasoning explained yet, I believe.

This isn't an issue.
It's a security measure taken time to time to prevent unauthorized access.
I disagree with "This isn't an issue." If it is driving me to turn off all my security because it won't allow me to disable it, then it is an issue. I've read the same sentiment from others.

^ comment makes no sense.
The stupid feature Google has introduced, is randomly demanding PIN instead of fingerprint. It will happen every couple of days or so, even when phone has not been restarted. You might have used it 10 minutes ago, doesn't matter... you will be asked for PIN and it says "use biometrics next time". It's so arrogant, and takes away control of our phone security. They are treating us like children. It's condescending and disrespectful.
The thing is, we can already choose to have no pin if we want, just swipe to unlock. So why can't we have biometrics ONLY without pin? Because we can't have nice things? Why?
It's the worst thing about my new phone by far. I will never stop looking for a way to get around this brain-dead "feature". How I unlock my phone should be up to me, not some crusty old Android developer sitting in a dark room, dreaming up ways to piss people off. If anyone knows how to stop it asking for pin, and use biometrics all the time (except after reboot) then please share knowledge.
"Its a Feature, not a Bug"
The fact that this is a feature rather than a bug does not make it okay. In fact, it makes it worse. It is a problem when a company tries to force its way upon me and upon a product I own and I have zero ability to do anything about it. If its "for my security" then it is MY choice to decide not to be forced to put in some pin at random when I have a perfectly good fingerprint that works just fine. I am not personally worried about someone cutting my finger off and revealing the occult secrets hidden within my phone, so I should be able to turn this off. If you try to force me to do something and make it impossible to get around, I might just leave your stupid platform forever.
Does anyone have the problem where scrolling isnsiepr fast and scrolling is also only nice when their finger in flat on the screen and morning an angle? When I use my left thumb, in an angle it sometimes doesn't scroll proeprly and instead moves very little. It's very annoying.
