My mother just got a Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch and saw that it had ics on it. I have always wanted ics becuase of face unlock. Does anyone know why the Galaxy Tab 2 doesn't have face unlock?
Probably cause it sucks with vga cameras.. I have face lock on my sensation, and but disabled it after a few days cause of crappie results. Sensation has a vga front camera as well.

its a pretty pointless feature imo. badly implemented and not secure at all. and if you are using it, have to turn a light on so it can see your face so no late night tablet while your lady is sleeping next to ya, gotta leave the room first lol

Eventually face lock will default to draw or pin if it can't see your face, but still a pita at night.

It is also disabled by other devices probably because it is extremely insecure.

Anyone who is right handed has probably noticed the INCREDIBLY ANNOYING zoom bug you experience when writing in Snote after reaching the bottom of the page.
For some reason palm rejection goes haywire in the bottom right 1/3 of the screen if you rest your hand while writing. Everytime you put your hand down to write the screen zooms. Turning on and off pen only recognition makes no difference.
Have no idea how to fix this and am open to suggestions. Hopefully Samsung will address this in their next OTA.

Lock to s pen only at top right corner. Not much else we can do before a new firmware update. I hopefully it's jellybean

Yeah its a bug. Locking the pen has no effect. I'll go to Samsungs Facebook page and post about it. We just have to wait on new OTA.

Oh good its not just me. I didn't remember this being a problem before or after the update but then it just happened. Really upset me to say the least.

I just wonder if this phone has the same problem as the Samsung vibrant cheap pin for GPS you had to take apart the bend it up and wedge a piece of copper between it so it would make a good connection.

I have 2 G3s & the GPS works perfectly in both of them(maybe I'm just lucky)
I don't even use my Garmin units anymore.

Yeah, mine is great. You want to see problematic GPS, just pick up a TF201, 300 or 700...

That's how I got the GPS on my S3 to work, only I didn't wedge a piece of copper I just bent it up a little. I'd rather keep my phone than get a used VZ replacement...
Ya the copper is optional after a period of time without a wedge though it will prob start doing the same thing again.

I miss my att iPhone 4. GPS would lock instantly and super accurate. This takes about 20 seconds sometimes and it still throws you off by a small distance. Not trolling just saying Samsung should put more effort into their flagship phone

I've noticed that my GPS's performance is dependent on the ROM I'm running. On CM10 it locks on instantly but on a stock ROM it takes for ever to lock on and really only locks on quickly when I'm already driving. My wife's S3 which has never been messed with instantly locks on with no issues.

Interesting... my GS3 would lock almost instantly on the stock TW ROM, but on CM10 it takes 30 sec or more to get even a weak lock with a clear view of the sky, and frequently loses lock when it's in the console of my car.

Anyone ever hear of finger touch being unresponsive while S-pen functionality remains perfect?I don't mean you have to thump it to get it to recognize a touch,I mean NO TOUCH WHATSOEVER....zilch zero nothing.....I've flashed stock ROM,checked settings in every app that could be involved... I'm baffled.This Note is about 9 months old.Daily driver is Jamison's AOKP JB 4.2.2

Sounds like the capacitive touch digitizer is bad.. This has nothing to do with the s-pen digitizer ...Have you dropped it or banged it around much. Maybe its a loose connection ... Just thoughts. but 8 months old its under warranty still. Call samsung.. Boohooooo

Remove tablet from any magnetic case amd try again as well.

I was playing candy crush earlier and my screen just started turning white and really hot so I took battery out right away. After I turned it on the screen is all flickery now. I thought it might be the ROM since I'm running g paranoid android but when I went into recovery mode even twrp looked blurry. Any suggestions? Kinda hard to tell but I took a couple pics of the screen.

Lets Get this Note 3 party started!
The LG G2 has the knock on feature by stock default, called "KnockOn" since it has its only buttons on the back.
I currently run an app called PGM along with Fancy Kernel on my Galaxy Nexus this provides the same functionality.
Phone on desk in sleep mode, screen off. TAP TAP! on the screen and she wakes up.
Hoping we see this implemented on the Note 3 as its a feature that everyone loves and uses all day long.
Does your Galaxy Nexus suffer battery loss because of using that feature?
Sounds cool, I wouldn't mind that feature does it require root?

It will very likely drains the battery a bit
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I have installed it in my brothers nexus 4...app is called touch control
Battery drain is very minimal
Needs root and custom kernel
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
The Note 2 and 3 has a home button that will wake the screen, so I see no need for me to use a knock-on feature..
I have it right now on the Note 2 using a different kernel and trickster mod app. Only issue is that if your pants have a thin inner liner your leg will turn on the phone. Same thing happened when I first did it on the Verizon Nexus. So it's not phone specific.
I'm sure that issue can be rectified with some enhancmenets for example :
- While Offscreen, reduce screen sensitivity
- If Offscreen AND touchwake event occurs, check light and proximity sensor, if both are dark and proximity==1 DO_NOT_WAKE_SCEEN
- Etc.
As for the dude who said the home button wakes the screen, that might be true,
but When you handle the Note with one hand, it is very uncomfortable to click the home button, skipping it would be awesome.
There was no appreciable drain on the galaxy nexus.
sounds interesting going to give this a try. As so for why we need it when we have a physical button? Because of its size. You don't have to reach all the way to the bottom to press the home button.

I would like to have it in my Note 3 that has sview cover. I like to knock the s window to open. I don't like to touch the hard keys all the time.

I really hope Samsung implements this natively.
was hoping someone on XDA would come up with an app or something
(do I really need to flash a new Kernel for this? :/)
This would be cool, it would also extend the life of the hard keys.

I really don't understand why aren't the companies making more use of gestures on the phone...
double tap at the top of the screen to scroll to the top
double tap at the bottom to scroll to the bottom
etc
Yeah if its in a custom rom or kernel then it must be good
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
But isn't clicking the home button (1 click) more efficient than knock on (two clicks)? From what I've read about knock on on the LG g2, it's not awfully reliable as well.
