How do I activate face unlock on this phone?
First time bought Vivo so far so good.
Is this a feature in the nex phone? I thought is fingerprint
I read somewhere and I'm certain I've seen in some reviews.
I'll have to double check this, face unlock gives me the opportunity show off the camera pop out. I'm not really a selfie guy.
dont think vivo has face unlock

Sounds like you're talking about the OPPO Find X.....
The only way to activate the FFC is by accessing the camera app & selecting the FFC.
The facial recognition sensors that are used on the IP-X & OPPO FIND X are not present on the NEX.

Seems as though no face recognition.
Nevermind got on screen fingerprint.

I just feel that face unlock is not very necessary , instead they should have put some othe premium feature.

who knows, as an owner of xbox kinect I can imagine cool things like 3D avatars would be possible with this IR camera.

When apple starts something, it becomes a fad, so good or bad , face unlock is here to stay, just like the iPhone X notch
I remember watching TV commercials on TV for some Motorola or Samsung phone promoting face unlock here in India maybe 5 or more year ago.
Fwiw, I've been really surprised by face unlock - it's really quick and simple. It's rare that it doesn't recognise me (so few false negatives) but I do find myself wondering how accurate it is - so how low is the false positive rate (it's not unlocked for anyone else yet but I've only tried it with a few people)

Tried with a photo, it does not unlock using a photo. Tried with all sizes.
I've been using the face unlock feature on my Poco F1 since I got it. I'm running the latest XiaomiEU MIUI 10 Stable + Sphinx Kernel. No other mods.
Although it doesn't recognize the faces of my friends or relatives today I decided to test it with my sister who is 6 years younger and she managed to unlock it with her face.
I deleted my face data and took new one just in case and we tested again with the same result - she unlocked the phone again.
Face Unlock is not secure against relatives who look like you, test it out with your brothers/sisters just in case.
Yes, when you add your face in the settings there is a warning for tell you isn't secure.

Omfg he tells you to wait, so wait. It makes sense that they can't deploy the update on all smartphones at once, their servers would be saturated. Just wait for the update to arrive. Or simply update manually but stop spamming each tweet

I think you are posting on the wrong thread pal. :highfive:
It's because you have changed the kernel, which disables the infrared camera driver and thus making the face detection feature less secure. Test the same on factory ROM

Of course face data depends on the face so if you look alike with your sister it is really possible to unlock your phone that's why fingerprint scanner is more secured than face unlock.

That kernel doesn't disable IR CAMERA because it contains the driver for it!!! The only kernel available that can do that actually (as i know of)

isn't it common knowledge that all the face unlock out there for android isn't secure? even the mate 20 pro also got fooled by other similar looking people..

IR works, it lights up in red. I can also access the IR camera from MIUI Hidden Settings app.
There's the possibility that something else has been modified responsible for face unlock but I'll need to test.
I tried IR UNLOCK as well with sphinx kernel while covering front camera (not IR camera) and it's working phone unlocks... So no Front basic camera is working to unlock

Yes, my older brother opened it. I was taken aback, I am using the official stable roms.
Good thing I don't look closer to my relatives.
I also faced an issue where my phone can unlock by my brother and evey sister
Yesterday,miui 10 already rolled and I get updated. Technically, I and my brother already tested the Face unlock on miui 9.6.25 it definitely can't unlocked by my brother. After miui 10, my brother can easily unlocked my phone within 1 second,I was shocked we tested so many times and it's show same result. Even though my sister also can unlock it within one second,it is ridiculous.
The Face unlock become worst after miui 10 update.
Hi , i had a bad surprise, i take my picture and i use it to unlock my pro p20, and it's working, can anyone try ? and what can we do to correct this?
long known issue - nothing
Close your eyes for face unlock. Bet you can't find a picture with your eyes closed
That is correct already. Nothing wrong. This is just how normal face unlock works since android 5. You want more secure one? Find one with 3d face unlock ie mi 8 Ee, mate 20 pro and ipx.

or even better, choose one with retina unlock. its harder to be fooled
Hey
I am getting a 3a tomorrow. I see there is no facial recognition. It is not the end of the world, but it this something an update could enable in the future?

In apps? In the camera? For unlocking?
In general, I read no face recognition. So covers all them.
the 3a and xl lack the proper cameras for a secure face unlock so it isnt included. if it was people could unlock your phone with a picture of you.

Ah ok, Persoanlly i prefer fingerprint. The amount of times i just wanted to check the time but the phone ended up unlocking!
Actually, I thought the camera was the same as the Pixel 3?

Yes the rear camera is the same. The front is not.
In this part of world (Asia), under the warth of Covid 19 virus (new Coronavirus), people are recommended to wear face mask when visiting public places.....
The big disadvantage of face unlock become obvious under this situation since I can no longer use any payment options without removing my face mask, or input the passcode.... I really miss the fingerprint sensor on my previous Pixel 3XL....
Maybe Google can come up with a facemask mode for face unlock?

This is a genius idea! It will find huge market here since now one will be find USD 850 by not wearing a face mask when enter public places like hospital!
N95 is pretty expensive and almost always out of stock here....

Probably it won't work with pixel unlock system because it must be able to scan your face in 3D. It could work with 2d systems.
Anyway, same problem here by wearing a scarf on my face when it's -20°C outside. And wearing also thick gloves, I can't easily unlock the pixel with the sequence or pin. I always end up by lowering the scarf a bit to be recognized.
All considered switching from fingerprint to face unlock in this kind of weather conditions is brilliant.

But it's possible it could work if it'll able to learn your face with it on.

I never tried... Is it possible? I mean, can you register your face with something on it?
Anyway I wouldn't do that because you would give less information about your face to the unlock system. IMHO it would make the unlock system less safe.
Maybe the last resort would be unlock by iris... At lest that's something we definitely needed when using a smartphone.
I will try if facelock can save my face with facemask on.... However maybe after that anyone with a facemask can unlock my phone....
