Wao now face unlock in Atrix 2 ICS
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Yeah, I've been playing with FaceUnlock.... It's not bad, pretty quick response. I've managed to convince mine to allow unlock w/ my sunglasses on as well.
Just make sure you do that improve face recognition in a ton of different light situation and with and without said glasses on....
I have been playing with it on my SGS 3 for the last month now, and I can say at first it was a PIA, but with using the improve face recognition function a bunch of times in different light situtations and such it is much better, it was easy for me get it going on the A2 since I have it on the SGS 3 and knew what to do to make it work well.
Just my 2 pennies.
Wonders if there's a max number of times the improve can be used?
every time that faceunlock fails to recognize me I stop where I am and improve it.. now it is getting very good.
I have an Asus Transformer and the front camera is better.. the faceunlock works much better too...
Another tip: clean the front camera (use your clothes or fingers) to get a sharp image on face recognition!

I love this phone!
Stock ROM, rooted.
Battery lasted yesterday from 630am till 9pm. Gmail, Plume, 4 phone calls, etc.
Reboots/freezes...I had two a couple days ago, switched SD cards and no more issues.
Connectivity...no wifi issues, no issue with 4g...haven't tried bluetooth yet.
Screen bleed...I think I have a little, barely noticeable.
Anybody else have some love for this amazing device?

I got it on 4/20 and I have been enjoying it so far. This is my first smartphone too. I seem to have a bit of screen bleed but only noticable when in complete darkness and near max brightness. Besides this the phone has been great. Very customizable.
love over here! stock, only added apps because honestly im pleased w/ the speed/performance so far. no screen bleed ( or maybe i do but its just isnt noticable) reboots or course but the phone boots in like 30 secs so its not that serious. decent battery life even w/ running a live wallpaper. just waiting for a stable cm7 to see what all the hype is about ( my 1st android phone ) or gingerbread and go from there!
I have nothing but love for this phone!
I like everything except no LED for notifications when the screen is off and all the software bugs.

I'm actually really happy with this phone ..its blazing fast and a good looking phone too. Had reboot issues at first but removed bloatware and been cool ever since ... oh yeah and rooted it in minutes... such a user friendly phone ... battery life is ok but what do you expect from a powerhouse phone...

I love this phone also... No issues for me... Haters will hate I love this beast.
Hahahah, its great to see this thread. Seems like so many people don't like this phone, it was getting a little depressing. I'm loving mine. Blindingly fast, easy to root, bootloader is open, and after a battery calibration my battery life is fantastic. I have a bit of lcd bleed, but honestly its not much (you have to really look for it to see it). Glad there are others enjoying this phone like I am.
Sign me up for the thread of love, I just bought this phone...will comment shortly but i am happy i own the fastest phone currently found in the world. Not to mention CNET's editors choice award & high praise from PCMag among others.

i see alot of hater threads and i have posted in a few
my only issue is the back light bleeding...... if and when i find a device with minimal amount of bleeding this phone will be perfect!
i dont understand how people can complain about battery life when they have all there synch settings set to 5 mins and screen timeout set @ 30 mins and then sit on it all day...
i play music for at least 2 hours a day in my car (4000 watt DA subs FTW!)
i talk on it for about 30 mins a day (mom and random calls)
i txt ALL DAY (gf and brother at least 200 each a day)
i TETHER! for about 2 hours a day and after all that still have about 30%
its not your old razor that got 4 days of battery with heavy use it has to power a BEAUTIFUL (without bleeding) screen...... let alone all the bull spit drivers that LG threw in there
just wait for a BIONIX RoM and a MorFic UV/OC kernel then decide!!!
i give this phone 9.5/10 all day!!!!!
Finally a positive thread lol. My galaxy s has been gathering dust since the day I got this phone. I love everything about it. Honest its sort of a bummer going into g2x forums because of all the problem threads lol (not that I blame them). ONLY problem I have is the screen bleeding and I dont even notice it. Only time that ever comes to mind is when I browse xda and see all the threads.

well dont be mad but i get my third G2x in the mail today... and im gonna make a video of the bleeding on all three (i still have the other two) and make one more BLEEDING HATER THREAD i know its gotta stop some time but this will be the LAST chance/response that I personally will address the issue at hand
then im going to send it to LG as they want pictures..... but i think a video describing it will be a little better for the paper pushers @ LG that think is not a issue and you should just turn the brightness down or on auto (that was the answer they gave to the problem)
Love this phone. My only complaint is the amount of times I have to peel off my speck case and pull the battery because it locks up.

Even though I'm not bothered by the bleeding I am going to wait for however long it takes them to put out a new batch of phones without the issue them im going to warranty for a new one. Doing it now doesnt make a difference because the entire first batch of phones has the problem.
I got to say this phone is a beast! I love it as well. Although I admit the bleeding problem but I think once new batches are out then t-mobile would not give us any problem to replace them.
Coming from a Vibrant and I don’t know how to even compare the two.
* GPS works better than my Garmin Nuvi, It locks while the maps are loading. The compass works like charm. I remember my Vibrant was a joke, it would take minutes to lock and the compass never worked at all. And I replaced the vibrant 4 times!
* The look and feeling of G2x is amazing, you feel like you are holding a nice expensive phone in your hand. I cant even compare to the plastic vibrant.
* The screen is a lot better and crisp on G2x, If I turn both phones and compare them side by side, you can notice the cloudy and high contrast screen of vibrant right away(so called "super amoled"). Only con for G2x is the bleeding on the corners.
* Wifi works better on G2x as well, I never have wifi reception on the vibrant while in the bedroom. But now G2x has full reception.
* Volume and power button on G2x is awesome. Very nicely laid out and have great feeling. I hated the vibrant buttons!
* I don’t know why but I heard some people talking about bad sound quality and low speaker volume. I compared G2x to both Iphone4 and SGS vibrant, and G2x is better than those two.
* Great camera, flash, FFC, and back cover..
* Above all, this phone is going to have a great support! not only 2 weeks that the phone has been released and we already have a beta CM7! in couple weeks, we will probably have a great functioning stable CM7 on our phones and I am also hoping first CM8 when Google releases the ice cream!
* Only concern that I have is the current baseband modem is a little buggy, but I know we will see new modems in mater of time.
I do love the phone, but unlike many of you that just got it and love it, I've had it since it was first released, and my love for it has waned as bugs have started to reveal themselves. So don't speak too soon if you just got the phone or you may be eating your words.
First came the random reboots, but then they went away.
Then I noticed the stuck on "goodbye" screen during shut down that required a battery pull.
Then yesterday I had a un-provoked factory reset happen on me.
Again it's a great piece of hardware, but even those of you claim to love the phone have to admit that LG quality control is lacking and there certainly are bugs to squashed. Just b/c you had great success with your phone doesn't mean the phone is great overall, it just means you've been lucky or haven't had the phone long enough.
I think many users are happy with it.
Mine only had one lockup from the day I purchase about 2 weeks ago.
Screen backlight leak/bleeding is minimal so it's not that bad.
HDMI is pretty cool when playing games on big screen.
Battery is OK but I only get up to 3.5 hours (from full to 15%) of continuous streaming mp3)
Cam and Video recorder does the job and the video isn't that large.
Calling quality is very good but I want the speakerphone is louder, same as video/audio playback.
Can use the light as flashlight with tiny flashlight app.
It should be the snappiest phone I have so far (2500+ quadrant).
Instant screen cap (touch home and press power button).
Three issues:
It can't read ogg vorbis tag, so ALL files are treated as "unknown" with winamp or default music player.
Wifi setting gets FC after it's connected.
Streamfurious doesn't work (gets broken pipe then stopped) and it's reported some streaming audio applications don't work (tunein radio works fine).
this phone sux lol. f*** love. jk
I've had the N1 for a long time now. My biggest complaint that I can't deal with anymore is the touch screen. I've been eyeing the Sensation for awhile now. For those of you that upgraded from the N1 did you regret it? What are you're thoughts on the Sensation compared to the N1. Other than the obvious unlocked boot loader.
I've heard there are touch screen issues are these as severe as the N1's?
The nexus one had touchscreen issues?
If you used to fingers and crossed axis it would get confused left to right making it almost impossible to play games using virtual controllers. Intermittantly they will wig out and lose touch screen calibration. You would touch one part and it would read it almost a half inch off. Only work around for the calibration is to lock the screen than unlock it. This is what's driving me nuts.

lawl.
Anyway, I came from a nexus one and I haven't had any touchscreen issues with my sensation. Personally im very happy with the phone so far. The only complaint I have so far is I really miss my trackball notifications, and of course the locked bootloader (but in time the second will change). Other then those, I cant really think of anything else.

yeah, the sensation has proper multitouch too, no more cross axis issues.
I had the awesome nexus one with very few issues and I haven't had any touchscreen issues with my Sensation! Just some lag in Sense...
I have since given my cherished n1 to my wife. She just wants my games lol....
Yes the touchscreen works finally but besides that I would wait until the bootloader is unlocked. I jumped in because of the 148 price at wally mart. Compared to what I had initially paid for the N1, I think upgrading to this baby is worth it for the price.
Do I miss my N1? Sure do, like the others said, trackball alert was a big thing for me. I miss looking across the room to see if I had missed a call or not from my charger. Also miss the weekly MIUI updates. Since the sensation, I haven't updated miui and I heard the lockscreen has been changed a bit from the normal ones. Makes me want to grab the n1 and start flashing the sucker....maybe just out of withdrawal lol....
The positives is that the phone looks and sounds great. Besides the low speaker volume in speakerphone mode and some other issues like the gallery and video quirks some users have come across. Do not get me wrong, I do NOT regret this phone at all. I just wish the s-off comes already lol.
For those running ICS how do you like it? I think it's a "nice" feature, but IRL it's pretty useless. You have to hold your phone way to far from your face (and look pretty dumb), with the front facing camera not being centered it's pretty hard to get a clean angle and overall it's way too long to unlock your phone.
Gesture FTW
I agree its cool to play with but in day to day life it is kind of a pain in the butt

At least at the current state I think face unlock is nothing but a gimmick.
Taking pic at low light initially = 0/10 worked in low light / 2/10 worked in normal light
Taking pic at normal light conditions = 0/10 worked in low light / 6/10 worked in normal light
I just use it to brag about ICS to my friends. They get amazed by it.

I haven't flashed any of the ICS ROMs yet, but I've been using the app Visidon from the Market and it's very practical.

Security of face unlock is risible at the current state. Might as well have a simple PIN or no security at all. Until it can reliably tell a picture from your real face, then it's bull....!
whats face unlock??

Unlocking the lock screen using the front camera to recognize your face.
LOL ok guys srry for a bit of a bulky title but wanted to grab your attention. i now have face unlocking working on my gt-i9003 ,
using the visidon app lock,... i know what your thinking
"but that just locks your apps!"
well now in the settings you can click to use the BETA lockscreen. and it works!
and it works very well ive asked about 5 people to try and it would not unlock for them and more or less instantly works for me. low light does affect it...but do we care? save waiting for the fabled value pack!
another good thing about this app, it lets your take as many "training" images as you want...the more training images the more accurately it will unlock,. so i just clicked and clicked to take images while moving my head side to side and up and down, in , out ,shake it all about. about 30 images and its ACCURATE in good light you dont even have to look dead straight at the camera.
ive tried with the applock that was on the xda homepage the other day but that one didnt even pick up anyone's face at all.
i was gonna put a video of me testing the lockscreen but i just woke up, still on the first coffee n jj, so i dont look even slightly camera friendly lol
I haven't actually tested the IR levels with the back camera yet... do you guys think an IR LED would improve night vision? Replacing one LED might be pretty cool.

Are you talking like how Sony has the night shot to record in 0 lux ( pitch dark )?
If so when a Sony camcorder goes into night shot the shutter speeds get slowed down a bit to achieve NS, and for SNS ( super night shot ) the shutter is slowed even more. So it could work for still images if you could disable one led to use only the infrared led as the regular led would overpower the IR beam and make it useless. But that's my theory because I used to to tons of ghost hunts with NS cams

I liked how the original Sony camcorder with "night shot" had an interesting quirk. The IR could be activated in daylight, and by doing so when you took pics of people you would be able to, in effect, see through their clothing. It was a bit of a scandal at first, Sony recalled all the camcorders. But of course, many people didn't return them. Subsequent models had circuitry to prevent the IR from activating in daylight.
@Fuzi0719
Really? Never thought this one exists. Could there be a possibility someone else is still selling something like this on ebay? This is one of my hobbies. Collecting things which were released but was meant not to be or should I call it rare items.

I think that article was Sony-paid FUD. I owned one of those cameras and I can assure you it revealed far more detail than they claim in that article. The heat signature of your body is very visible through the clothing, with a lot of detail in some cases. Let's just say that I could tell if a guy was circumcised or not very easily.
Yea pretty much the Sony Nightshot! If you look on YouTube there's a video by a Do-it-yourselfer named Kipkay that threw together a hobby box filled with IR LEDs and did a video comparison, and his is much brighter/clearer.
I guess one LED won't do it then.

This is our camera showing IR light from a TV remote... so that means their is no IR filter(????) I figure if I string up 5 LEDs in series, I might get something useful. Ill order a bunch and see what happens!
My ideal dream is to power a strip of LED's using USB OTG support. So I can plug straight in through MICROUSB.
