Who stole my phone

Hi,
Now when we have option for face unlock on Galaxy Nexus Im get idea but don't know if this is possible.
For example I have enabled face unlock and lose my phone or someone stole it. First thing what usualy someone try is turn it on Camera will detect other person and phone will stay locked. Is there some application which in this case can send picture of people who would like unlock phone to some email? It will be great if this is already done or someone can do it...
So is there some app which can do this?

Nice idea!

doesn't mean that person stole the phone though lol and lets not forget privacy issues . 3rd party app maybe but definitely not google apps.

Look up "got ya" in the android market!I'm not sure if it is compatible with the face unlock feature though.. You should try it out and tell us if it works or not!

I don't think its a privacy issue if its my phone and I told it to save a pic of the person trying to unlock the phone unsuccessfully. Sure some of them would be myself in bad lighting but that's fine.

Nice catch... I think this is what Im looking now I must only check if is compatible with ICS and face unlock

oops......i tried gotya lite on my GN and there is no faceunlock support which is as expected as ICS is so young..
but i have got into another problem now where after disabling gotya and uninstalling it, i am not able to select the faceunlock feature and the screen looks like before.....how do i re enable these

Email the dew for any questions and ask him when face unlock will work...

i have no issues about when they will support faceunlock, i just want to re-enable the faceunlock feature as it is disabled in the screenshot

Check device administrators in security settings. Maybe reinstall the app, take away or grant it admin if it needs then uninstall when face unlock is available again?

Try removing whatever account you have in your Email. (Not to be misunderstood as GMail)

if you go to settings, security, then choose clear credentials. give it a reboot then thats it. had this once with a customer from where i work.

Cerberus app is so easy to uninstall. Mybe the owner have to work out on a solution to glaxy nexus unistalling procedure cause now all can uninstall the app.

Is there really any way to secure our phones? It seems like if someone with knowledge of rooted phones could find it and just wipe it. Or is there a way to secure it from boot?

Cerberus can't be uninstalled unless u wipe phone in recovery ( this option would get rid of 100% of security apps ) or u no the unlock code to get to an app like titanium backup . Cerberus is a damn good app if not the best

My mom has the same phone as mine (she bought it 1 week earlier than me) but she has no issue with touchwiz
It's kind of strange
I guess the only option is waiting patiently for 4.3

I live in Greece and my phone is american so I haven't warranty,I bought it because I wanted a good dual sim phone...so I can't call samsung greece to find a solution..I suppose you have warranty did you call samsung and explain the problem?

I believe the lock screen should give you instructions to unlock it through your Google account.

Removed pre installed apps

Dears,
I removed the pre installed apps from my a50 such as smart things and galaxy store which caused some features to be missing. the question is will resetting the phone bring'em back ?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.. However, is there not any other shortcut to restore these apps without having to reset the phone/erase data ?
