oooh, will check out. ta
ok, that didn't work for some reason. wouldn't enable. "FaceLock for apps" works fine free ver limited to 1 app and market/settings etc.
I used it more than a month ago, i was able to select every app i wanted to 'facelock' this may have changed with a recent update though.
Sorry i cannot help you further.
You could try typing face unlock or something like that into the market.

I still use Visidon and it lets me face protect any app I wish, I did have to do the 'face training' before it would let me enable that feature though, I have been using it for a few weeks and there hasn't been a recent update that I have noticed.
maybe it's an ICS thing, or the density i run the phone at. either way, it wouldn't let me enable it
i'm in work tonight so will give it a shot again.

now that we have 2.34 will we see more apps that use this sensor?

Probably. In terms of what? who knows.
Can't think of any useful apps that could use the sensor!
A secret agent Tegra 2 game where you have to "steal" enemies fingers to get access to the next room?? Hmm one can only imagine..

a password app that you can use certain sites with your fingerprint (banking etc)
Yes!
This is used in laptops with FPSensor.
All the passes are stored in a fp program, and what you have to do, is slide your finger, and your pass is filled.
It may be difficult, but its an ecxellent idea

DataDefender (by AuthenTec) is on the market now, using the fingerprint reader. The app is like typical "application launch protection" apps out there, but on the Atrix it allows verification of the fingerprint in addition to the standard options (PIN/Password/Pattern).
Can any one tell me that these fingerprint apps really works or not ? 5 Best Fingerprint Lock Apps for Android.
Thanks in Advance.

Last three are just to fool people, I think the first one is to customise the lock screen. Haven't tried the 2nd one. Anyways my fingerprint scanner doesn't work as I'm on cm9

Unfortunately, this app is not available in my country! Can someone try this and post their findings?
Here you go Perfect app, great finding man, congrats!
Agreed, very nice find.
i was waiting for something like this ...very cool app..
It seems to work great!

Very nice app.
Thanks for post something about it.
I'm told that it's incompatible with the Atrix
The latest release notes specifically say it added Motorola Atrix with fingerprint scanning.
This app is awesome!

This app uses the newly release Fingerprint Scanner SDK by AuthenTec. I'm using it right now in my application GibberTalk, and if you are a dev, it's not hard to implement.
Good find, it was a huge disappointment to find the fingerprint scanner could only be used to lock the phone.
Wow, very nice. I've been searching for an app lock like this. Thanks.
Edit: well it worked for me yesterday, but now the fingerprint scanner force closes and it doesn't lock my apps. Sad, I got hopeful!
I set it for the Text Messaging app, but for some reason if I keep hitting 'cancel' couple times it still showing the content.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
strange that it only ask you to scan one finger for they key but then i can use either hand to unlock.
Worked great for me yesterday, but now when it goes to the fingerprint scanner, it immediately FCs (without an actual FC message) so I have to log into my apps using my full email and psswd. I've disabled it now, hoping they fix this little bug.
This is dope

HI Folks,
Most of you will be aware of the Samsung Dive account where one can track the location of the phone and remote wipe it etc.
I am aware of other apps on the market that replicate some of theses features but haven't found one that allows the finder of the phone means to contact the owner to return it.
What I would like is the lock screen to have a "phone owner" facility as well as the emergency call button.
I like to have the phone locked to prevent unauthorised use should it go missing but its doesn't help an honest person who might find the phone to return it.
Anyone seen an app that has this function?
Or make an app to do it, I would pay for an app that could do it.
Thanks
Del
Bump..Anyone?

Why not try using a 'low-tech' solution & putting your contact details on a sticky label on the back - or a note between the phone and case. Remember your phone might be found by an old dear who doesn't even know how to turn it on!
Come to think of it, you could also use an invisible marker to write your house number & postcode under the battery (and on the battery) - this is one of the first things the police will look for if they recover your phone, or come across someone with it in their possession in 'suspicious circumstances'.
Well that made me smile, yes a perfectly good solution to the problem, and i will be doing that as it would still work even if the battery was dead
Would still like the over engineered solution too if its available or if anyone is making a security app for the phone to incorporate it as a feature.
The app called "Android Lost" lets you place a note saying whatever you want it to. You can also trace it with GPS, set an alarm etc.

I have used this app, its anti-theft features are cooler than Avast's.
Good find!
I've already purchased this but highly recommend it and will tell my GF and friends about this!

awful battery
I haven't really debugged what it is but i know ever since I "roughly" installed this app my battery life is cut in half. I never go in deep sleep much anymore and im left in 100Mhz range mostly.
Anyone else seeing a difference? (hopefully its not this app because it seems extremely useful)

It's not affecting my battery life at all. I used to use avast anti-theft; I simply replaced that with this one.
dang that sucks...I missed it by less than a day...that is kind of messed up though when you say something ends on that day it is usually 11:59pm of that day not 12:01am of that day...I call shenanigans.
Edit: I see it was set for GMT, son of a!!! - only missed it by a few minutes.
switch phones?
I did this when I had an atrix and recently purchased a SGS2. Does the license transfer to my new phone when I download the app from Play?
This sounds A LOT like the built-in Samsung Dive service... Except you have to pay for a subscription.
EDIT: For more information click on the link in my sig for ShishirROM... I think I have the only ROM that has Dive still built-in. It supports nearly everything Cerberus supports and it's free and built-in to the phone.
I was just looking at this app in ROM manager
They tout it as anti theft app but honestly this app gives unprecedented access to your device from the web. If you, like most people here, rooted your device via an exploit, you probably have an insecure boot.
You know with that situation someone could hijack your phone while you are using it and hide all their processes in the background so that they never even show up. Like a Trojan on a PC. This thing can make phone calls and send text messages from the web, how is that added functionality?
It would only take one wrong touch and this app could totally destroy your device...

I've used this app since it was first released, before it was available on the Market. Perhaps I'm naive, but I think that using good, standard security practices should keep one safe from what you envision. I only access the web interface from known, secure computers and I use a very strong password. Cerberus also has options to install it as a system app and to hide it from the app drawer.
Hi. :fingers-crossed:
I'm looking for an app I've have not found until now :
I'm student with a known planning. I'd like my phone automatically locks screen after a certain amount of time when I'm in course (Of course,I know how to do this). But when I am not at school I'd like my phone does not locks his screen.
Do you know an app doing that?
Thank you.

Check out the app Tasker, using that you can create a profile to customize lockscreen timeout depending on time, location etc. You might even be able to find a tasker profile that already does this online.
