Hey i can't use the lockscreen face recognition. The phone fails to open the config. Anyone knows what to do?
Stock ICS
Firmware upgraded to XXALF5
Problem solved
How ? If someone else runs into it too. Thanks
Here are my issues with face unlock.
1) Not as secure as you'd think.
Test, take your picture with another phone, hold the phones face to face - unlock
2) SLOW.... If it fails to recognise you, it goes to pattern or pin unlock. This in itself is fine, but in low light it will really struggle to recognise your face. You will waste valuable seconds waiting while it tryies only to have to use pattern / PIN anyway.
Comclusion, nice try, nice gimmick but not the next big thing. Biometrics would have been good, like the Atrix.

Hey Guys,
First of all I'm on 2.3.4 AT&T stock ROM not unlocked modified in any way. I'm an international user so I just SIM UNLOCKED it so it can work with my operator.
I'm having a weird problem with my Atrix with the screen lock. It just doesn't work, no matter wich method I use (Fingerprint, password, PIN, etc). I turn on the screen and no lock method is asked it just goes directly to desktop.
I checked the security lock timer, it's dim out when fingerprint and with other methods its on When display is off but NO luck whatsoever.
Now the weird thing is that when I turn off the phone and turn it on again the phone ask me for my sim pin and then the screen lock method but that's it.
Maybe someone had seen this issue before and can give me a little hand?
Thanks.
Hi guys,
I realized that the lockscreen is doing nothing in the sense of the security on the S2. I am using a lock pattern and sometimes when I get a text call, or press the sleep/wake button a couple times, I can unlock the screen without the pattern. Anyone else notice this?
I read about this a while ago, some bug with TouchWiz 4.0
security *FLAW* found...

Yup, I noticed this also... on my 2nd day... I was *informed* that if I truly wanted to SECURE the phone 100% with PIN/PASSWORD/Pattern, I would have to choose LOCK immediately, otherwise, every other swipe the phone can be unlocked without it... EXACTLY like you experienced it.
Just change it to IMMEDIATE and you should be fine...

You want to set the Lock Timeout to Immediately (to clarify things) Located in Settings->Location and Security->Timeout
I was used to using No Lock on my previous Android 2.3 phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jraf.android.nolock
Always worked flawlessly.
On my SGS III however there is an annoying side effect.
I tried it with a Pattern Lock and also a PIN lock.
With one of these active, and then telling No Lock to disable the lock, I can succesfully turn the screen back on without going through the lock. Great for car or desk use.
However as soon as I then select something from the Notifications pulldown, the Pattern or PIN lock suddenly pops up! It is like it was already running in the background, and then became activated or something.
I tried various alternative apps, such as Impel (with a script), No Lock Screen (with Only when charging), Auto Unlock Trial Edition... but all exhibited the same problem. Some would even change the Home button into a 'Show The Lock Screen" button... even worse!
I wonder if this is specific for Samsung, or SGS III, or ICS.
So, has anybody got a clue... or a fix?
I think it's an ICS thing... I've been using Delayed Lock for over a year and IIRC when ICS came out, this problem was present, however it was fixed by the dev. The other thing is that for DL to work on ICS using an unlock pattern, it needs to go in the system/apps but didn't need to on GB.

Thanks, I'll give Delayed Lock a try.
In the mean time, still open for other suggestions and/or deeper insights into this matter!
You can just disable the lock screen in the security menu, no? I used the rooted image and Odin to root my phone but I thought the image was all stock and I have the option to have no lock.
My face Unlock works fine. Maybe a little too fine. I would like to actually see the lockscreen. Which I can't. Maybe I just want to have a glance at the time or notifications. I don't want my phone unlocking the moment I look at it. Maybe a neat little feature where it unlocks but still is a swipe away from going into the home screen / desktop. Right now the closest thing I can do to achieve that is hold the phone away or tilted just so that it doesn't detect my face which is weird. So help me out people. Is it just me or does anybody actually need this? Thanks.
Hello everyone,
I have a weird behavior when I have to enter my pin code to unlock my Mate 20 Pro. I have to press my finger for a long time for 2-5-8-0 numbers. For other figures no problem, they respond instantly.
To reproduce the problem, simply crack the unlock with the fingerprint and have the numeric keypad to type the unlock code.
I also notice that if I launch the camera from the lock screen, the trigger of photos galley a little, I have to leave my finger pressed a certain moment. On the other hand no problem when the phone is unlocked and I run the camera.
It's also complicated to pick up and slide to the right or left when I get a call on the screen locked.

Did some of you have the problem?
Thanks for your feedback.
