LG is coming out with a feature that's an evolution to knock on/off. it's called knock code. i like the idea. here's a youtube video they made for it. what do you guys think of the idea and implementation?
Knock Code
What idea? They didn't give away anything in that video... XD

guess i have to help you. knock code is supposed to make it so instead of double taping on the center of the screen to turn it on which is how it works now, you can have multiple combinations of knocks to turn on the screen. which is what the hand was trying to show you in the video with all the different combinations. that's where they get "knock code" from. the combinations of knocks is the code.

OHHHHH, i see, all is clear now.
If I can unlock my device faster with knock code than with pattern unlock, and if it's as secure as pattern lock, I say yes please. Give it to me!!
Sometimes, not much, but sometimes my phone doesnt even answer the double knock I give it.
Adding more knocks will not be for me unless they up the sensitivity.

I thought the exact same thing. The question is also how complex the taps can be. Feels like there is a bit of a dangerous balance between having some security and actually being able to unlock the phone.
looking forward to seeing someone port this over to g2. the g pro 2 firmware(F350S) has been released and will eventually trickle down to us.. then someone should be able to port the feature.

I don't have any problems with knocking on or off and would love to see this implemented for our phones. Or, as someone else has already said, love to see a dev create or port the new app/feature for us.
Here's a link to BGR's article on it: http://bgr.com/2014/02/18/lg-g-pro-2-how-knock-code-works/
Any changes?
Do you think: will be any port of this function?
We can port it, Someone hand over the system dump of the G Pro 2 please.
It's weird how they give the feature to the mini but not the main version

Can't wait if you can get it ported that's be awesome. I used your camera mod and launcher Port in,nexus 5. Hopefully this can get ported.

For those having problem with the knock on, try double tapping and holding the second tap. It works 99% of the time for me, even when the tap intervals are like 2 second apart!

Actually, i've since reset my device and find knock on/off more reliable.
Thank you!
Still not feeling a knock pattern though, but hope it comes out for those who do!
I'd say the best option would be to use the Knock Code combination as a straight unlock, bypassing the lock screen.
OR
Use the Power Button / DoubleTap to turn it on, dump to the lockscreen, where you'd have to swipe or enter a code like normal.
I like just double tapping anywhere though. Sometimes I pull my phone out and it's upside down or I'm using my other hand which would be awkward. I wonder if the taps would be relational to each other vs orientation of the phone. If you had to make sure it was right-side-up all the time, it would get annoying.
its so unique, i want it on my N4
people who sad about double tap; pls look for the cpu undervolting and min mhz values. sensitiviy of double tap (or tapping scrren) related about it
That's one beautiful phone. Hopefully there'll be a VZW variant before too long and I can get a new LG Flex.

Whenever I try to unlock my streak, half the time I get the sticky slider then can't unlock it (even if I try shutting screen off then turning it back on) for a minute or two. It drove me crazy.
I noticed when I get it though, if I turn the screen off then turn the streak into portait position and turn the screen back on, no sticky slider
Hope this helps you guys.

It might be a screen calubration issue, i just calibrated my screen and will report bsck in a few days
You know, after moving from the iphone to Android I spent so much time playing with the lock screen, mainly because I could I guess. I installed Wigetlocker and had gotten my lock screen to the point where it was a regular work of art.
Then one day it dawned on me that if I wasn't using the lock screen for security (as in, with a code to unlock the phone), that there wasn't really a point in having one.
So, I installed "No Lock" from the Market, and I have never looked back. Now, when I hit the power button, the phone is just on. Works great, and I have experienced ZERO negative effects. The phone has never turned on in my pocket, and the screen lights up just fine when a call comes in. I don't miss my lock screen at all.
Sure, I still have to deal with a slider to answer a call, but that's a heck of a lot less often than every time I want to turn my device on to look at it.
Anyway, just a thought for those who might be tired of dealing with a sticky slider on the lock screen.

Is there a way to remove th Emergency Call button from the Lockscreens?(pattern, pin)
From what I understand it is a widget and I tried to remove it rendering my phone not able to pass boot up. That was horrible.
So any info on this would be great.
p.s. for GingerTazz
no ideas on how to get this button out of there?
No, not unless there are replacement pattern/pin lockscreen apps, similar to WidgetLocker is a replacement lockscreen, but it doesn't appear to have pattern/pin capabilities.
There's got to be a way to just go into the apk and remove one or two lines of code to make it not appear. I know that's hacky leaving the unneeded code in there, but I don't care I really hate the button.
Anyone know what apk it is?
Probably so hard to remove because the FCC mandates that all phones even ones that aren't activated have to be able to make emergency calls.

It's not the amount of time I spend looking at it, but rather the number of times I have to look at it. Every time I take my phone from my pocket and swipe my pattern or enter my pin I see it, which is . . . a lot.

has anyone enabled facelock for your LTEVO yet?
I've had it running since yesterday and very often when I try to unlock the phone it'll try to use the camera but all i get is a black screen then it reverts to the alternate pass code.. this'll happen maybe... every third time? i suppose it may have to do with the camera process running in the background...
anyone else sharing my pain?
I use it but I haven't got a black screen from the camera...
I've been using it since I got the phone and I've only had that happen 3 or 4 times seemingly when I had a lot of stuff already running.

Lighting has to be somewhat decent, this feature doesn't seem to work in low light. I recommend you all use the 'Improve face matching' feature in different types of ambient light.
Mine unlocks very fast, quicker than I could type my PIN, if the lighting is decent.

Works flawless on my phone, but as a note:
I don't like it, its unsecured. In days where Facebook is famous, anyone with a good picture of you can unlock your phone, even by holding a picture of you they got in their phone close to your phone...

Agreed...but it's a pretty cool feature
Too bad there isn't a way to combine security features, for example, have face unlock plus PIN or pattern. Might get annoying in practical use though.
I'd love to use it but it won't recognize me with glasses on and I won't take them off everytime I go into my phone lol

Lucky for me, I'm not famous. Anyone likely to have my picture would also likely return the phone to me.

Under improve face matching, you can have more than one picture to improve recognition, I took one with sunglasses on and one with out and it works.

Also, try it under different types of lighting and backgrounds. I've been surprised sometimes when I've been in less than ideal lighting, it still recognizes me.
Of course, I haven't tested with someone else's face.
Sorry people I got no idea what is the perfect verb to put. As you know the power button should be emerging from the phone, but as I chat a lot and close the phone between messages and stuff it became.. "bent" in?
I cant really put pictures at the moment as I have no camera, but the point is, I can't use the phone properly now.. Sometimes when I try to put the phone to sleep it restarts, or pops up the "power menu" (Reboot, power off..etc) . And sometimes when I am using it the backlights just start flashing and bam, the phone reboots alone.. more terribely it sometimes just becomes stuck in a boot loop due to power button restarting the phone over and over again lol ?
So the question isnt really software but hardware, I tried the pin that you use to bring out the sim slot to try and push the power button out, but well.. It doesnt fit. Anyone got any idea what to do ?
Take the cover off and reposition the button.

Is there a tool similar to the IOS's accessibility tool? You know that little box that you press on and you can choose the "Home button" or "Sleep" ..etc?

What happened to the android community? There is no need for sarcasm! Dt2w is a very useful feature. You can tap anywhere on the screen to wake up the phone instead of reaching your index finger to a particular point in the back. Why are you against it dear Sir? If you can't contribute anything in the discussion, please don't discourage others.

I see you've never had a device with a physical home button or a tap to wake function. I suggest you remove yourself from this discussion, since those features are time and movement saving when you're doing office work or are driving a car and want/need to make a phone call without holding the phone in your hand (which is dangerous by the way and limits your ability to control the car).
I would like to see that feature but for now am satisfied with the fingerprint sensor to wake and if you guys dont wanna press the power button to sleep,I suggest add the "lock" widget on your homescreen, that solves the double tap to sleep for me.

I believe it is double tap to wake feature that we want not the double tap 2 sleep which is already implemented in cm13 I believe.. Or can be done via gravitybox... Thank you for your suggestion though.
I think everybody is missing the point of this post. We are not bashing xiaomi for not including dt2w. We want redmi to be the developer's phone with lots of useful features. I am an former OPO user and I must say how much handy dt2w is.

yup. i mean i had a opo 6 months 'didnt like it' exchanged it for a lg g3 2gb that i now have 1year i think an im so used to double tap to wake.... every cheap chinees phone has it. i had a doogee f5 with finger print on the back i still used more the double tap to wake then the finger print cause most of the time the phone is on the table and i just wake it up unlock and see notification and lock it again. to lock by double tap i have nova prime. so that not a problem. but to wake it up it would be nice. cause i wont always have the phone in my hand
it would be cool if some one implanted it. or xiaomi.
If they release kernel source, i believe the fantastic devs can implement it in no time...

Interesting topic as I'm used to double tap to wake from my Zenfone 2. Having said that, if you can dt2w you can also reach the power button to wake. I use the lock function in Greenify to sleep as it does two jobs with one tap.
yeah, my last device oppo find 7, and double tap features really great. u dont need to grab whole phone just to check any notifications.
i just bought the phone of aliexpress 163.50euro in gold.
it's the best option in terms of price and quality i can find and to replace my lg g3
there is the letv x800 something. it's a 150eur on gearbest 64gb and 4gb ram and the snapdragon 810. but i dont know, i'm not a really fan off the snapdragon 810 and specialy not on a phone with a 2k screen and 3000mah battery. if i upgrade i want better battery life i have a (2nd phone) lg flex 2 with 5.5 full hd screen and a s810 3000mah and battery life is horible. i just think the s810 is a piece of crap, but i use my lg flex 2 in airplane mode and not overheat or somehing or slowdowns in gta san after 30min of playing
i hope i wont be disapointed by the xiaomi redmi note 3 pro
