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.

I need Help, im going to buy a used honor 8 and I wold like to you guys to tell me the most comons problems so I can test!
Goods:
1 Nice look and hardware
2 Some nice features in EMUI, everyone won't agree. Like security safe and app, camera software, finger print gestures
Bads:
1: Nightmare for someone who want to customize. Custom ROMs available but still unofficial due to issues.
2: Updates not as frequent
3: EMUI, depending on your preferences, some people just despise it.
You guys clearly missed OP's question...
Edit,
To answer OP, this is a great article which covers buying a used phone in general: https://recraigslist.com/2013/03/how-to-buy-a-used-cell-phone/
Generally you should:
Start by rebooting the phone. There is a warning saying "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" when booting up the phone. This means that the person has unlocked bootloader, most likely isn't using stock recovery and may be running non-official ROM. This might be a concern if rooting the phone isn't something you want to do.
Chech if IMEI isn't blacklisted using this tool: http://swappa.com/esn
Check if the device supports your provider by inserting your SIM and trying to make a test call/using data.
Check if the finger print sensor is working and check for any visible damage
Check the USB-C port if it isn't damaged and if possible, try plugging the phone in to see if charging works properly
Check back/front camera and video recording
That's about it, there aren't any specific problems that would happen only with Honor 8 to be honest.
Hope that helps.
I get the Honor 8, so far so good !!!

Hello :fingers-crossed:
I have set up my face unlock but when my screen is off the only way I can get back into my phone is by using the fingerprint method, What am I doing wrong?
It doesn't work like Huawei or Honor mobiles.
You've got to either double tap the screen or press the power button to initiate the process.
thanks for the info, i think the fingerprint option will be quicker then
It's good here...
But does not beat the auto faceunlock of my Honor view 10.
I take that phone out of my shirt pocket and without pressing anything, it's unlocked before I even look at it.

I was exaggerating for effect.
But it's true.
Face unlock is the only thing I miss of my View 10.
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'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.
As we all know the recent pixel 4 only has face unlock, is there any possibility that will come into our custom ROMs? I don't mean to tell other biometric auth are not worthy, but a dedicated face unlock would mean we can completely avoid miui for good as the complete hardware can be properly utillised
This post is just a discussion if this is a possibility or not. Others who find it offense leave now.
No. The pixel 4 has the proper sensors for face unlock. Poco doesn't.

If mi 8 roms can be ported to poco f1 with different face unlock between both then why won't this be possible? (Mi 8 has a 3D face unlock similar to pixel4 or iphone, poco has 2D face unlock)
And other than the extra soli sensor i dont see anything else different in this case

Nope, mi 8 have the same face authentication like poco, mi 8 Explorer edition it's the unique xiaomi with 3d method. Whatever, you can't "port" a hardware feature, you only can adapt it to the hardware you have, but it's not the same, the pixel 4 got a very specific biometric hardware. You can see the same interface in the app, but this no supposed work as same.
My poco phone can be unlocked by my Brother and cousin brother with face unlock. It is not as secure as thought

The pixel 4 has 2 ir sensors (as does the iPhone X series) meaning it is capable of 3d face unlock. It's nothing to do with soli
As you will know, the F1 only has 1 ir sensor, allowing 2d face unlock but not 3d

I guess you are talking about custom ROMs as I am on stock MIUI and nobody else can unlock my device by using their face. I have tested multiple times and the results were the same.
To implement the softwares we don't need the hardwares as exact right? Maybe a few actions could be removed and just accept the 2d data alone?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it the ir implementation is proprietary - a xiaomi thing rather than being baked into Android. As such a custom rom would need to include the ir face recognition solution xiaomi developed, which isn't available to anyone else
Of course, the old camera based face unlock is still available, if that's if any use to you
I remember now, lineage os tried making a face unlock for pie and they got the libs for the ir camera, there was some legal issues and then they had to discard the development. That's why we won't get the ir camera unlock for any of custom ROM...
Please close this thread

I am a new poco owner.
MIUI roms (non port) indeed has proper face unlocking process; it cant even unlock if my eyes are closed but in CRdroid (with the claim of IRcam working) still unlock the phone even when I close my eyes.
Android 10 removed face unlock.
If you needed face unlock, please use android pie. You can find the face unlock option inside smart lock.

no bro,in miui 10 and 11 (official) is not secure, my brother can unlock my phone, my bro and I have 9 years difference,
Guys can we implement a 3d unlock by using both the IR and camera so that we can some how port the pixel 4's unlock feature just by some tweaks. I know it will not be as good for unlocking in pitch dark atleast it can be implemented....?
Is anyone else having problems like "failure to enroll in facial unlock" upon entering the initial face set up screen? I am on pixel 4 rooted via magisk boot.img patch method and the current may security update.
