Fingerprint scanning lock screen? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Has this been implemented? I've seen a few in the play store but they're mainly to trick your friends.
Anyone having success with one...?

wont happen cuz there is no scanner
so buy a motorola atrix

Not possible. Not now, and not for a long time, unless there's a revolution in touchscreen tech. Capacitive touch screens are so inaccurate they don't know the difference between two whole fingers if you place them close enough together.

I think face unlock is as crazy add we'll get

Droid Razr:Same screen, same issues!!

I was just looking through the Droid Razr forum just checking things out, and came across a few complaints about screen blotches and lines when displaying black/dark images, in low lit conditions... what is going on with these Super AMOLED Plus displays? And why just the t989 and Razr??

I wouldn't be surprised if the blotches and lines are on HTC phones. You'll probably won't see it. Samsung might have set auto brightness too ridiculously low. twenty percent is about the lowest HTC phones can go. I think someone said in a review galaxy nexus suffers from the same problem. Also we seem to get the best end of the stick. Because the Droid razor has the problem the worst.

Either I don't have this issue, or my eyesight is getting really bad. I tried the low light test, and did not see red lines or blotchiness. Think this is just affecting a portion of the panels?

no offense, but its probably the latter, cause i haven't seen any other devices that DONT have the issue, I've been through 3 myself, and have played with/inspected dozens..... If you dont have the issues, you've got the holy grail bro, hang onto it and be careful not to drop it on the screen, cause if they replace it, it will 99.9% be the blotchy one we all have. Although, i must say, my newest device also has the latest box date and the problem is the least noticeable ive had/seen yet.

Pics please! I'm not requesting this on hopes of proving those wrong who says they have the "perfect" display. Proof of this will help with narrowing down whether this is just "normal" within the way the manufacturer process these displays or it'll prove that there is an inconsistency with these display with certain sgs2 units, which basically will lead to be a defect.
I'm just sayin!
If there's actual proof showing that some Tmobile units do not suffer with these lines and blotches, this will be definite grounds on requesting samsung to fix this issue!

[REQ] Faceunlock without being displayed

Hi to all,
Yesterday I was thinking if it could be possible to get face unlock without being displayed the camera image.
I mean I would like to have the pattern unlock screen displayed but if you have your face in front the phone it will be unlocked immediately.
It's just an idea.
Happy new year from Colombia!!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
This should probably be in the q&a forum. I would assume the camera view is vital to position your face properly so I doubt this request will come to fruition.

I support this REQ. I don't want to have to see my gangsta face each time I turn the screen on
I agree, dont like other people looking at me looking at myself.... Makes me look like a douche.
I dont think the face alignment would be an issue. Practice makes perfect.
might also be a suggestion that on the fake pattern lock screen, there was a faint face outline..like really dark grey or something.

It has nothing to do with trust. He clearly stated his agenda and never gave a timeframe. He even stated a few times he was working on the note abd other phones first since they were easier fixes than our "black sheep" of a phone. He is well know and i wouldnt think that hed take a phone just to take it and not evetually work on it.

The blobs that everyone donated for was clearly a possible hardware issue which means that nobody would be able to fix it without mods made by hand. At best all he could do was look into it. Its not his fault people paid for a new phone just to look into it.
The whole situation is analogous to if Samsung released a new phone where a quarter of them had bad search buttons. It could be a software issue but likely a hardware problem with QA. Instead of exchanging the phone people then proceeded to setup a bounty to buy a new phone to get this fixed. Its looked into and it turns out its just a bad solder connecting the search button. This would of been likely in the first place and people should of just exchanged their phone rather than setting up a bounty for something which has a fair likelihood of being a hardware issue.
You have a hardware issue then exchange your phone.
If the blobs bother you exchange your phone. If the blobs only bother you when you have to follow a page of instructions on how to see it, really. If you need to follow a multi step guide to see it then its not that big of a deal. If it is then exchange your phone.
Just curious...
Anyone play the game Osmos....that will really show off your lines and blobs if you play it in a low light enviornment or at night.

I play it I notice it with auto brightness on mines so it doesn't bother me. Since my lines are not visible with auto brightness off. It doesn't bother me. Auto brightness is buggy on this phone. Anyway doesn't seem to accurate.

Yeaaa I turned brightness all the way up and it is much better of course but it is just unfortunate that this bandaid is the end all solution. The battery when playing a game and having the brightness all the way up gets effed.

I don't have to do that when auto brightness is on for me I have lines. When it's off at the lowest brightness no lines. If I can't see in the sun I just slide my fingers across the status bar to adjust.

Twins can face unlock ... Wait for it...

I have a twin. It is possible for her face to unlock my Galaxy. Any female/male twin combos with Galaxy or twins in general. If you haven't figured it out I'm a male. Not sure how I feel about this.
Haha I'm assuming you guys are adults that would suck if you guys were teens bickering someone would be in trouble.
I might have my brother and sister try this out to see if it really works

My brother has unlocked mine and we are not even twins we just look at lot alike. It worked like 6 out of 10 times witch is pretty good or bad how ever you look at it. Lol. With the voice and face unlock it didn't unlock but with his face and my voice it did. Hope this helps

A picture of your face could probably unlock your phone, no twin required
Now notice I said probably, I don't know for sure

I'm not sure how it works but when I set it up and when she used it, it was in the same room. I've unlocked my pone with different expressions so I guess she would be able to. Two important things though. First I think you have to look at the camera and not the phone if that makes sense, my sister agrees. Secondly her hair couldn't really be in the frame.

My cousin (we share the same grandmother) said her twin daughters can unlock her phone... Gets me worried about twisted kids and Google wallet
My brother (14) and dad (46) can face unlock each other's phones.
This isn't surprising to me since my uncle who looks almost nothing like me (with the exception of skin color) is able to unlock my phone with face lock 9 times out of ten. I just figured my phone is racist and thinks all black people look the same :/
Sent from over there....
Yes, I would think so.
i showed me cousin that feature and he also was able to unlock it with his face. that is not secure at all.
In just the right light, I can open my brothers phone with face unlock.

Screen record / multi window / screen record rant

All missing. Really? I will donate to whoever fixes that lameness.
/Rant over
edit....sigh...typo
second screen record was supposed to be Google wallet
But....you already donated to Samsung...
All kidding aside, shoehorning this into the OS that I don't believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) has been officially released (kernel and all) yet will be an ugly endeavor.
I applaud the ROM cooks for their hard work, and agree. I've done my share of donations to the Evo3D gurus, and will continue to for the future the Note2 wizards. I really doubt we'll see these features, at least seamlessly as we'd like, prior to Samsung releasing them.
While I can honestly say I'm disappointed for the same reasons, along with the fact that inductive charging on the Sprint models has been made almost impossible. (I've recently learned you may be able to physically mod the phone)
I also must admit, over all, this is the single best smart phone I've had, the only other phone I've been this excited about was the Palm Pre when it was first released (zomg true [email protected]#)
So, /rant signed, added to, and amended with a pat on the back to Samsung for delivering an awesome phone on it's own standing even with flaws. :good:
Palm pre. I'm a die hard palm lover.
I was on treocentral and pre central most of my days.
Love the palm. Wish it. Had better hardware

Screen record will probably need to be a hack as some rumors are going around about a patent in the US vs. Europe.
Why Multi-App view is not working is unknown.
Google Wallet is dependent on Sprint allowing it, from what I hear.
Inductive charging has something to do with the outside case contacts with the internal battery contacts. the hardware my be causing this limitation although there is a rumor of a hardware hack for this going around as well.
