hi all. quick question for you guys: is there anyway to get unlock to camera with the pin lock engaged on the Nexus S like the iOS implementation?
I have to say that iOS implementation of unlock to camera with pin lock is the best in business for the time being.
for those who haven't seen it: on the iOS implementation, when facing a pin locked screen, anyone can still unlock directly to camera and take photos. AND they can even browse the gallery but the gallery only allows access to the photos that are just taken (phone still locked).
it's even session based. the next time the phone locks again, the user can still unlock directly to camera and gallery like the last time, but the photos taken from the last session while the phone was still locked are now hidden and not shown. so each time the gallery only shows the photos the are just taken.
all photos, of course, are added to the gallery.
it's brilliant! is there any way to get something close to this on a custom ROM on a Nexus S?
Thanks, all! :good:
Yes, it's called android 4.2. Watch it in youtube its quite interesting

This did not show it working with Pin Lock Screen though (as requested by op)...
I did have the video on mute due to being at work and might have missed him saying that it also works with pin lock screen...
It does work with pin lock. Saw a review from a guy at Google. Looks awesome. You can add the camera to one of the widgets. You can take pictures and view the pictures you just took. Upon switching to sleep mode and on again you can't see the pictures you just took.

Hello guys,
As I said in the title, face unlock doesn't work for me in android 5.0 LRX21O. It didn't work in preview versions also.
I have read several reviews on this feature, watched several videos, but i have never managed not once to unlock the device this way. I think i have registered almost 20 conditions for face matching, in different light condition, but the result is the same, it doesn't unlock the phone this way.
How is your experience with this feature?
Workinbg fine her ei don't see any proble mat all
probably your face is not compatible with this feature.
I had no problems here

Lol.
Probably, that's the only face I have unfortunately.. But seriously, it worked in KitKat.
Well, gonna ask a friend to set up this with his face and see how this will turn out.
it doesn't work for me either! I've tried to improve the matching also. It worked better when it first came out on the Galaxy Nexus.
I flashed the image via Mac and each partiton one at a time. I'm wondering if you did a full wipe including the user data? I didn't so I'm going to try that next maybe, or maybe wipe a particular folder in the system data to try again. I haven't bothered to root the phone yet I was going to do that at some point in the next few days.
It works for me if the room has good light conditions

you might be expecting it to open to your homescreen like it used to. it doesn't do that. it simply (and very subtley) just unlocks the lock icon at the bottom which then allows you to swipe up without having to enter your pin or pattern.

nop, i know how it works.
i have discovered what the problem was. i was locking the screen with an app and not by power button, so for a reason i do not know, the face unlock doesn't work if you lock the device this way.
I installed Lineage OS hieauhl several days ago.
I have used it without trouble.
But today something like 8-bit icon appeared on the screen, and I cannot unlock it
I can take phone calls, and take screen shots. Photos can be transferred to google photo. Therefore, I think internet connection works properly.
Could someone else help me unlock the screen?
Looks like malware too me. Try booting into safe-mode and uninstall the app it came along with.

Your phone believes it has a dot view cover on.
I have found a weird security leak on the Mate 9.
On the lock screen I can access the camera without using fingerprint or pin code. Even when I lock out the camera app with Applock.
Is there a way to remove the camera shortcut on the lock screen ?
That's not a security issue, that's a convenience! ><

Unless you've found something specifically insecure with that method, I don't believe the camera shortcut on the lock screen, in its current design, has any apparent security flaws.
If your concern is access to gallery photos,then I can tell you that only the shots taken at the time the phone is locked can be seen in the gallery/history, not the photos previously taken while the phone was unlocked.

Correct. This is because its an IPS not OLED panel.

Android Central mentions that the haptic (vibrator) motor is weak and soft, unlike the iPhone for example.
Kind of a holdback for me to buy it.

Then buy an iPhone, its twice the price. There has to be some sacrifices at a lower price point, and haptics would never feature highly for me as a must have strong haptics, more so as I turn them off. If you look at all the other stuff squeezed into the View 20, you do get a lot of phone. However, for me, its the accumulation of everything, that then provides an overall experience, which I am loving. I do get that not every phone is right for every person

What most reviews don't talk about, i seriously do not understand why, are the major flaws in EMUI 9.1 or Magic 2.0 -
1. The Magazine Unlock setting is missing - this means that you have no option to disable the feature or choose the lockscreen wallpaper.
2. There is no option to set the screen lock timeout - the screen gets locked immediately, every single time. So if you have a pin set, it means you have to enter it every time the screen goes off !
3. Cannot respond to notifications on the lock screen - to respond to a single whatsapp message, you have to unlock the screen. Ridiculous !!
My take on Huawei phones is - unless we get a clarification that these issues will be resolved in future software releases, stay away from them.

I can see Android fans being put off by the locked bootloader and limitations of Magic UI, but the lack of screen lock timeout control is not an issue for me because I bypass magazine unlock and use the fingerprint sensor to open on the app that I was last using when the screen timed out to lock the device. Face unlock works in the same way. You can change the sleep settings in display to increase the duration before the screen shuts off. The default is 15 seconds which is a little too aggressive.

The number 2 is really what bothered me initially - having a lot of financial apps that need it. All I do in most cases is not to forget to press the power button immediately after making use of any of the apps to lock the screen.

Speak for yourself as there are tens of millions of people who are very happy with Emui.
Emui 9.1 is near perfect now. Your first point is incorrect. You can change this when you select a new theme. I've never worried about the second point. I want rock tight security. And the third point does need changing.
Otherwise there's actually a lot emui offers over others. If you don't like it, just install Nova Launcher. Hides most things.
My only wish apart from your third point is having the option to scale the icon size within the themes.

You can easily get rid of the magazine unlock.

Android 11

Rooted yes
Hi!
I have two problems which i can't figure out in the device settings.
Googleing the problems didn't help either, but thats maybe just because i'm too stupid to search with the right terms.
First Problem:
When I take pictures with the stock camera app, the pictures are saved with a rotation in the gallery.
This almost only happens when photographing paper documents.
The picture is then saved with a 90° rotation.
E.g. i take a upright picture of a sheet of paper, but it gets saved in the gallery horizonally.
Is there any way to deactivate that?
Second problem:
When i enter the wrong unlock pattern, the device gives back a long vibration feedback. This was not the case with Android 10, must've come with the 11 Update. I find this to be annoying.
Also here, is there a way to deactivate this?
I hope you can understand what i mean, and i'd be very glad for some feedback.
