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.
I was using both successfully on my N1. Just had read some issues with the beta on the One S. Maybe just a few folks and no big issue. I will give it a shot and see. I have both on phone now, just haven't set them up yet.

I think your concern over the face lock is a bit misplaced.
1. Anytime you are installing a brand new ROM you should have done a full wipe of the device anyway which means you would have to re-setup your security features as these are not backed up in any way.
2. If the it cant get a face recognition it defaults to the basic android pattern or pin screen just like any other phone, it is not a special screen or lock. And, just like any other android phone if you forget your pattern or pin it is just going to prompt you to enter your gmail address and password to gain access after which it would have you redo your security options.
3. Worst case scenario: you are totally locked out and gmail address and password don't get you in....hard button reset and then restore from Titanium Backup. If you are flashing new roms I assume you are using this anyway.
did read about gmail password getting you in
haven't played with feature yet

I just switched from the original droid to the Droid 2 global, I rooted it and installed fission rom and I am loving it so far.
The only thing that really bugs me is I really like the pattern unlock feature when the screen goes off, on the original droid as soon as i pressed the screen on button i would get the pattern input screen, now on the droid 2 stock and after installing fission, i have to first go through the standard swipe across screen before I can put in the pattern to unlock...Is there any way to get rid of this? I cant be the only one who used the pattern unlock...
Ugh... I have the same issue. I HATE having to swipe and then do the pattern... Very annoying.
Waaah waah
This is off topic but why are so many people irritated by the swipe thing? All the ipod/iphone's have to be swiped an I see very few complaints tn those forums.

HAHAHAHAAHHA! Well I am crying over a minor issue.
My issue isn't with the swipe lock. It just sort of sucks to have to hit the swipe lock then do the pattern lock. Especially when all your buddies who have droid 1s or older android software only have to do the pattern. I work in an office with lots of lookylews who would go through your phone if they happened to find it unattended on your desk unlocked.
But I will say. This phone is still really tits. If it shocked me everytime to unlock it I would still keep using it. So the issue isn't that big for me.
Did you look in the location and security settings? There is a pattern unlock setting there in fission.

You're missing the point. When you setup the pattern unlock, you have to slide the unlock bar to unlock your screen, then put in your pattern. He wants to turn his screen on, put in his pattern, and have his phone be unlocked.
Id also like to know if there is a bypass for the initial swype. I really need to use pattern or code lock but can't stand doing both. petty or not, is there a fix?

Gps Issues
I love this Rom but I can't get my gps to work very well. I tried Lee's and cyno just didn't like them but the GPS worked. I really don't want to have to switch away from it just because I can't use apps that use my gps ( mapmyrun, google latitude)
Sometimes, it will work with an accuracy of like 800-2000 ft after fixing for 10-15 minutes. I have tried every solution on the Android Revolution F.A.Q section Q.14. It worked fine before and if I switch to a different ROM. Also, I have tried apps like GPS FIX, Faster fix, and Gps essentials. My radio is the suggested one for the ROM.
Any ideas I'm desperate?
Also I have noticed when trying this fix.

So my question.. By far ARHD is my favorite rom, the only issue I'm having is that every once in awhile when i try to unlock the phone it won't respond the anything. The only way to get it to turn on again is a battery pull. I remember when I had my captivated I had similar issues but muuuuch worse. I followed the flashing directions line by line and did a full wipe. The last time it happened was today right before I updated to 5.2.4 so ill see if this makes it any better. Any ideas why this is happening, does my processor not like OC and I need to scale it down? Other than that I love everything about the rom thanks in advance for any help.
Does anybody have any idea why I can't set a permanent screen lock? It's like everytime I set a pattern lock or PIN lock, it works once then no longer requires a pattern or PIN to unlock my phone depending on which one I chose to use. Any help would be appreciated.

That is a good guess. Test it out by scaling it down and monitoring what the behavior is. Mike's rom should be set at 1.152gHz out of the box. That is not high at all but every phone is different and if you have yours set higher your particular phone may not like it.

After you set the pattern or pin did you change the inactivity setting? I believe default is it will only lock after 5 minutes of inactivity. After you set the pattern/pin the second setting down is "Lock phone after" then gives you the selections immediately, 3 mins, 5 mins and so on. Make sure its set to immediately. That would be my best guess from the info you provided.

I am currently using this rom and I think its great. The only problem I've had was downloading from the Android market. But it started to work all of a sudden a few days ago.
Thanks for the ROM. Great work.
Well, I just upgraded from 5.2.5 (which I installed this morning) to 5.2.6... very smooth upgrade.
Well, mostly smooth anyway. I have the sense 3.0 lockscreen installed and although it works in terms of pulling the ring up to unlock, there are no icons (and yes, I have configured the ones I want there) and no matter which lockscreen I choose under personalizations, I just get the same background I have on my home screen with no icons, no clock, no weather, no nothin'. I did so a SuperWipe when I installed 5.2.5 this morning, but the dev's notes say you don't have to SuperWipe if you are installing over another 5.2 release.
Incidentally, I saw the exact same misbehavior under 5.2.5 and was hoping it might get fixed.
Other than that it seems to run real well though. Is the 3.0 lockscreen working for others?
Installed the "Restore HTC Lock-Screen for Android Revolution HD 5.2.x " mod to revert to the non sense 3.0 lockscreen, and it works, but I notice that under "personalize -> lockscreen" it still shows the sense 3.0 ones, and lets you modify and select one, but it doesn't work.
Although I normally use an external bluetooth GPS, I just tested the internal one with 5.2.6 and it locked on quickly and gave about 16' accuracy.
I've been using this ROM for the past few days and I think its great.
However, I didn't flash a new radio (the one suggested on the thread). Is that alright? Will I see a huge difference flashing a new radio over the stock one?
does the new APN trick work with AR HD for the wifi tethering?
As the title suggests, I have a Nexus S i9023 (no root, perfectly clean) and the major problem is that i've upgrade the phone to ICS manually and now there are some things that don't work (recovery, light sensor, etc.). I know that there are a lot of threads like this, i know that the problem of the recovery is a problem of brightness, but i wanna know which ROM i've to flash. I'm using the build IML74K.
Another problem is that sometimes the keyboard freezes. Is it caused by the wrong build?
Which rom did you flash?
Try lastest version of ics
I'm using ICS 4.0.3, build IML74K, flashed manually.

I am using the same on my i9023 with no issues, only difference is I am rooted and have clockwork recovery. I suggest a re flash.
I'll try to re-flash the same ROM. If it won't work i'll root the phone and i'll flash CM9.
Anyway, how can i solve the problem of the keyboard? I don't think it's a problem of the build.
I've flashed the ROM for Nexus S i9023 two times but the problems still remain. Any suggestion?

Only thing I can suggest is installing clockwork recovery, rooting etc and flashing another rom to see if the problem persists, if so then it probably a hardware issue.
Also where did you get the rom your flashing? There is a thread in the general section with the full rom package I used. Its on the first page at the mo.
Ok maybe there's no solution (i'm new in this forum so i can't post link as the one below):
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23065&can=1&q=ics%20nexus%20s%20i9023%20recovery&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars
So I think it will be fixed in the next release. I ask confirmation if someone knows something.

Recovery: Known problem. Backlight stays off. Nothing you can do without unlocking your bootloader or rooting. Angle + lamp will show you what is on the screen.
Light Sensor: It's still buggy. With the phone locked, cover your hand over the light sensor (left of the ear piece while facing the phone). Hand still covering, unlock the phone. After a few seconds, remove your hand and face it under a light source. What i've noticed is it'll get brighter initially but refuse to darken again. Of course, you need to have Automatic brightness adjustment (just in case it isn't set to auto).
Unsure about your keyboard problem though, but it does like to stay open for longer than i'd like after going back to the home screen.

Yeah, it remains open also after going back to the home screen, and it doesn't work. The only way is to crash it by going to the setting of the keyboard in the notifications.

Mine doesn't remain open though,. It just stays for say half a second, then animates away. Would be much more perfected if it went away while animating the previous window away, not a second later. I've not experienced the keyboard causing those kind of problems.
Might be wise to try SwiftKey or some other kind of keyboard alternative? That is easily enough to sway me away from stock.

If you have problems (like the recovery one and the light sensor) with ICS 4.0.3, build IML74K, on your Nexus S i9023 there's nothing you can do, probably Google will fix it on his next update 4.0.5.
I'll just add that many custom ROMs allow light sensor manipulation. I hear there are great, working settings, its just the stock calibration that sucks. I've not tried this myself, but should be available in cm9, cna, etc.

Yea, they can, but not so much when you have an important work to do in the morning(phone plays a major role, as the contacts are in it).
and secondarily, its a time consuming process which is precisely an asset i dont have.
what i was looking for was some kind of workaround, or something like that, like enabling data via adb(if there exists a thing like that)
If you reflash aokp without wiping anything all of your data will still be there but the passcode lock should be removed, you should probably make a nandroid first, just in case.
^^ trying, will let you know.
EDIT: to no avail, and it seems like the power button went defunct.

A tale of sheer serendipity, between the master and a slave. Hold on to your seats
I have titanium backup pro scheduled to do a full system and data backup at 3am, every Thursday.
And today is Thursday.
I did a full system wipe, then flashed wc's rom. After installing ti backup, I thought of restoring system data, or whatever was left of it. Something's better than nothing, right?
But what happened astounded me, as everything was in exact way I had configured it last morning. Heck, I even had the message I received at 2:13 in the morning.
But with all these things came that nagging Gmail password box, ( as it turned out in my favor, android has data on by default).
Which I was able to get through by inputting the requirements and Google verifying those.
Wow, plain wow. Ecstatic right now!
Lesson learned. Do share it with everyone, and please buy titanium guys a beer.

There is a small-ish bug in android, which enables data without showing the E or H sign (ultra rare, has happened just two times in the past 1 year) .
I'm just saying that storing the passwords, and other sensitive data offline just makes no sense at all.
Suppose if a tech person gets hold of someone's locked phone, and he manages to get adb enabled, it's only a matter of time before he will get hold of the passwords.
And then, another mat hanon will be born(@mat)

I'm currently locked out of my phone with no way that I know of to get back into it. I'm not sure exactly what happened - I must have 'pocket unlocked' it and bumped it against my leg enough times to where it's stuck on the screen asking for my Google account info. (It says I entered my pattern incorrectly too many times.)
This wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that I didn't have WiFi or mobile data enabled at the time. Because of that, it can't send my information.
The only solution I've heard so far is to do a factory reset, which I really don't want to do. I've got loads of pictures and other things on it that I can't sync to my computer at the moment, and there's no way I'm losing those.
Does anyone here have an alternative solution? If so, please tell. This is urgent.
