Whenever I try to take a picture, there's a radar icon on the top left of the screen. Just wondering what's the icon for?
Thanks.
Think thats just geo tagging.

you can disable GPS on the notification bar until you need it. otherwise all it does is geotag your pictures... its a nice feature actually.
It can be a nice but dangerous feature. Post a photo that you took inside of your house and I can find out where you live. It's great if you're aware of the privacy risks and act accordingly.

Good point, so is there a way to disable this feature?
Go into your location settings and turn them off before taking the picture. Some software like adobe bridge can strip the meta tags that contain the location data.

Help, what app is giving me the second message notification? I disabled the stock so as you can see hand cent is on. I can not figure out what the other one is. At one point I installed led me know, I feel like that screwed it up. I attached screens below.
Crap it won't let me attach a picture. Adding link, moment please.

It's the default messaging app. Go into the settings in the default app and disable notifications if you're going to use the Handcent ones.
The default is already disabled. The other comment is right, i installed beautiful widgets but I don't see where to disable notifications.

How is the other comment right? The only two notifications you show in the screenshots are default messaging and handcent.

It must be a glitch because default was disabled and it was still showing up. Once I deleted beautiful widgets and add on it went away. I think this was the same issue the other poster had.

In wondering if there is any app for android like the Big Brother app for iphone. Its an app that takes a front facing picture anytime someone enter the wrong unlock pin. Its hella cool and i think has alarm and gps abilities also.

A close one is seek droid.. No front facing pics tho. But what's cool about that one above all the others is that GPS doesn't have to be on. You can turn GPS on remotely... do a data wipe.. see the call logs.. and of course, gps mapping.
Mod's: Please move if there is a better area for this request.
Suppose your significant other, boss, or teacher picks up your phone and they are curious about what's on your phone. Luckily for you, you remembered to set a password or pattern so no prying eyes can look at your info. But wouldn't you like to know who and when tried spying on you?
The idea I would like to share is for an app that would take a picture and time stamp of somebody incorrectly enters a password or pattern on the lockscreen. This app would silently take a pic with the front facing camera.
If I possessed the knowledge to write an app myself, I would and sell this app in the market. Just wanted to share this idea to those of you who can make it happen.

That would be a sweet idea, but it would probably need to replace the lockscreen in a manner like WidgetLocker does.
That's a brilliant idea.
Eventually this app could include audio and video recordings along with a location fix.

Not sure if it would need to replace the whole lockscreen, The idea came, in part, from taking a screen cap of the lockscreen in MIUI. (The menu+vol down method)

A collegue of mine said there was already such an app, but he couldn't find it anymore. In an attempt to search for it I discovered this thread.
Does anybody have an idea if such an app has been created after this thread? Or know about the app my collegue talks about.
cool idea, will be interesting to see

These seems like such an oddball feature that I can't think of any reason it would exist for any phone... Why would you want the unit to auto-snap a picture when it reached 10% battery?

i did not read the OP correctly that is weird. What i was wondering is, is there a way around being able to take pictures when your battery level is low. Such as at 10% or below the camera does not let us TAKE pictures at all which is kind of crappy IMO. anyone can help with that would be great.

Yeah use the power button to take the pic and also to let us take pictures and use our music players and camera under ten percent battery it is like that on all galaxy s roms I would do it but I'm to inexperienced just looking for some help. As I stated the apks from the cappy do not work on the infuse all I get is fcs.

Poor grammar strikes again.
The OP is asking for a Camera that operates under low battery conditions, and can take pictures with the power button in addition to the on screen button.
Gotta admit, I was scratching my head on this one. Seems like these could be useful features. But it also seems like at that low of battery percentage one might also want to conserve power?

You can conserve power by.... not using the Camera app? Rather than having it forced on you.
Let me rephrase this I'm not looking to conserve I want to be able to use my camera and musicplayer under ten percent battery and use my power to take a picture

The updated Infuse Rom will allow both functions for what you are looking for. Infused v1.5.3
So far, no music lpayer hack.....
Decompile camera.apk ...its in the smali code...I don't recommend running the camera below 10 percent personally. Samsung put that feature in there for a reason...just my opinion

I don't see a reason to also implement that into galaxy music play. It's like travelling home from school just to find out battery is below 10%

this gives you face lock on any phone free version only gives you face recognition for apps paid gives you lockscreen
update: after using this for a couple of days i have found out it is not 100% fool proof and is not completly secure i would not recommend this app if you hope to secure your phone from other people
update in post 4
I tried the free version, seems pretty cool. Thanks for.heads up.

Yeah.. but how long does it take to recognize your face? That's the real question.. I was there for a while.. it drove me freaking nuts..
mine only takes a couple of seconds the more face training you do the faster it is. i did mine under different lighting

Honestly, I think that all this app does is just look at the pictures that it has in it's "face training" and then just match them.. I know it's kind of what it does... .. but if you (somebody other than jeff.. you probably have already realized this) will know what I'm talking about
I agree that is probably how it works I have tryed it out with about twenty people and it would not let them into the apps I had locked. I just think it is a neat app
Oh and I don't use the liveness detection setting I have it unchecked
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
I have the paid version of this app. Difficult because its new but i have not found a way to fool it. You need like five pics at different angles in different lightings, no blurry ones and it works good. Liveness detection in tricky, lockscreen is the only way i use it
