Face Unlock

---

Anyone using this

I wanted to try it and found out you have to set a bu pin if face isn't recognized. Is there a safety issue with this as when flashing roms etc, the face unlock may get lost and the pin don't work. Or, is it pretty failsafe.


Also, thought I read somewhere about some issues with Chrome to Phone--had it working fine on N1. Is it running good on One S?


BTW video streaming to my Sony LED Bigscreen was flawless

I thought you lose these settings when flashing roms...

You are correct sir.

The 2ndary line of protection (pattern unlock, pin, etc.) is just for conditions where the face detection won't work. Try it in light situations that are not broad daylight and you will see that this is an obvious shortcoming of face unlock. There is no front flash, and if there was I would not like to be blinded by it so if it fails to detect your face / any face at all it will just ask for pin/pattern.

Appreciate the replies

I was going to play with it, but may pass it up. Don't need to lose unlock pin thru flashing and be stuck


Would like to get back to Chrome To Phone, but will research a little more on any issues--

I don't think you understand, if you flash a new ROM, face unlock and pin won't be activated, you will need to set it up again.

I understand that, thanks

Just concerned on odds of the pin being messed even if not by flashing rom, recovery or by anything else--OCD

Maybe that never happens--

Try Chrome Beta. It has Tab Syncing which is arguably better than Chrome 2 Phone because you don't even have to hit send.
