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.

I was wondering if there is a app or someone can make the screen get bright right before you take a pic with the front camera kinda how there is a "flashlight" app for phones that dont have a led light and use the screen brightness just wondering if this would work for night time pics
searched around could not find anything on this at all so sorry if it was answered

i doubt it will work since it is facing you and not the real camera
Well what i was thinking is you take a pic of yourself with the front camera that the screen will get bright white kinda like a flash but just making it as bright white the screen can get for a second to see yourself better at night

I agree. That's very similar to my Mac desktop. The screen flashes right before it takes a self portrait. I bet an app can be created, but the issue might be auto focus. The front cam isn't all that great with auto focus so when the screen flash it might show a white blur.

This is an example of people not understanding what issues are. I had to stop your video when I saw it.
The keyboard lags in the MESSAGING app. Not anywhere else. Any SMS client with any keyboard will have the lag. To repeat, the actual bug is "lags when typing text messages." So no, people aren't smoking crack. Just you and several others don't seem to understand the actual issue.
Not trying to dog you out, just misinformation is one of my pet peeves.

Lol.. you still don't get it.. switching the SMS app doesn't get rid of the lag. My point exactly.

Strange... I use handcent and better keyboard fully customized and I have no lag on this or stock keyboard in messaging or any app for that matter
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Well if using handcent fixes the lag, then I stand corrected. I used the default keyboard, gingerbread keyboard from the market, swype, default SMS app and go SMS. All combinations produced the lag after a bit of texting, not just just one sentence.
If you can type out a paragraph using handcent without it slowing down then I will shut up. And thank you for finding a workaround.

Not doubting what u have had happen with your phone but I would give handcent a shot..
I use gingerbread and better keyboard and haven't had any lag whatsoever except when I type 4page ttext it converts to mms but u can change that setting
usually I don't use handcent but I grew tired of go and just like trying different apps
I am curious to now if this helps u at all so please post your results

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

Looks like Lookout Mobile Security integrated this into their app. Anyone know an intellectual property attorney?

Ok if you don't know what GotYa is well its a app that takes a screen shot of your front camera when someone enters your pattern or password wrong, its not working for me so I thought too see if there are any others.

this should be posted in Q & A
but no i havent seen one like it
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
