No dream mate, there was an english review with a girl showing the facerecognition unlock. I haven't received the phone yet, but it should be a setting under the security tab..
afraid not pal...see attached screen shot :-(
would have been cool though!

Yup, the first demo video showed it. I guess it has been removed for security reasons (face recognition isn't really secure). Can't find it in settings here.
I heard it was vulnerable to the good old attack of "hold photo up to camera".
Too much of a gimmick if you ask me tbh.
i would prefer to decide myself if something is secure or not though ...
it seems a bit strange to have a piece of functionality working and then ditch it - gimmicks are an integral part of the sales process. i quite like going through the process of thinking something is cool and incredibly useful only to realise that it's completely pointless after i've used it a couple of times ...
disappointed - perhaps the facial recognition code would have added a few mm to the thickness of the phone like the NFC hardware ...

It's not there. It's just the three standard options: Password, PIN or unlock pattern.

Right, this is what there, nothing else. Samsung just a cheated cows. made peoples go crazy by showing what coming soon eg, NFC CHIPS & FACE SECURITY, then half the features is gone missing. What a con cows

Well to be honest that was my theory in the forums
I still think it hold up though.
Hi all,
I switch from a lg gwatch r to a 2nd gen moto 360. I really love it except for low-bit ambient mode.
Now the Gwath R had normal ambient mode and i was wondering if it is posible to switch the moto 360's low-bit ambient mode to normal ambient mode?
I think that at the moment there is no option from Motorola to turn it off, but I am 100% sure that if you unlock the bootloader and modify the sytem files, probably the build.prop, there is a way to do it. I would test it, but the 46mm version is currently not available at Motorola.

Ok Thanks... i have the 42mm version here. Please let me know if you find anything.
Ordered my watch today (46mm version available again). I will post here if I find a way to disable the low-bit ambient mode.
I'm interested to

You got your watch? Any luck trying to disable low-bit?
unfortunately not, those idiots at Motorola paused my order, because I ordered a Moto X Style 2 weeks before. They said it's a fraud protection. I don't know what genius coded that ordering system. Probably he thought that no one orders in the same shop twice
I got my 46mm a few days ago and if there's anything I can try to help with this I'd be glad to. I would also like to at least partially disable the low-bit mode(at least make it greyscale).
Just got an e-mail that my watch has been shipped. Yippie Yah Yei Schweinebacke! :laugh: I will keep you guys informed.

Any news?
got it yesterday. Had no time to tinker with it. Looking into it at the weekend. Some patience please
I also don't know if it's as easy as I think.
EDIT, 31.10.2015
Ok, just had a look. It's not as easy to do as I thought. Coming from an LG G Watch R and having an easy USB connection through the charging puck I thought it would be easy to unlock the bootloader and modify system files, but that's the problem now. You can get an ADB shell through bluetooth debugging, but no fastboot access to unlock the bootloader and without that we can not modify "/system/build.prop" and disable this "ro.ambient.low_bit_enabled=true"
There is a lip at the back of the watch, probably to open it up, but I have fear to break the back. Anyone brave enough in here? :laugh:
Because there should be the same points the guy is using here: YouTube

The lip on the back removes the plastic ring around the glass back(its glued on) underneath are some what i beleave are contact points but there not next to each other but randomly all around.
ok, I sacrificed my watch for science :laugh:
And it played out really well. I just did some quick measurements and it looks like those are indeed the debugging pads. I already found out which pad is for GND. The greatest problem I see is how to secure the cables on the pads without soldering and without a Motorola custom data cable?
hmm, I already have an idea, but no time at the moment. Perhaps at the weekend.

Thanks for your initiative. I received my moto 360 2nd gen last friday, went through unpacking and inital setup, installed my favourite watchfaces - and ended up sadly disappointed because of that horrible dim mode.
Coming from the LG Watch R I thought the slightly dimmed but otherwise full resolution and colored face would be "normal" - I had no idea concerning those different dim-modes Google Wear has to offer.
I'll attach a photo with both watches in dim mode. And this is one of the better choices
Hope there will be a solution soon, or I probably will return my moto within the next 2 weeks.
EDIT: No image because I can't find the upload-button :-/
Hi guys,
It seems step counter is very imprecised.
It displays always more step (almost the double.)
Any solution??? Is it only me?
I walked 3km yesterday from the sofa lol
Lol... Ok...
Mine work very well
Mine and to be working fine.
Wondering if it would be more accurate with GPS on
Sometimes it works well but sometimes it's really bad.
And it seems it cannot be configured...
All my phones adding 20% more steps as my fit bands. Same with 10 pro.

My poco f1 is going to be delivered today but I am thinking to reject it at the time of delivery because I have seen a lot of threads and videos talking about this touch latency issue while using keyboard and playing games like pubg . I don't want to waste my time in Flipkart replacement policies. Kindly tell me how many of you are having the problem
If you are from-
India: Reject
China:Keep
Some people will call me a troll, but see these are bug reports by all different users:

I'm in France and I've just noticed a bug : when I type "me" for example, quite quickly, it's going to register "em" whereas I'm 100% sure that I press on "m" first. And it's true with all the letters on the right. Luckily I still have 10 days to send it back so if there's no fix I might do it. It's quite frustrating when typing.

There is a minor touch screen issue. Its not noticable in normal usage except for some scrolling unevenness but if you are gaming then you are going to be affected big time.
Yes, feels the same! 1 question - can it be corrected by OTA update? Is it possible?

I can confirm this, this is happening! Didn't know this, one has to type really quickly to verify
Hypochondria or Munchausen Syndrome ?

Hmm that sounds great actually. If his tweak really is a good fix, GSI roms should include it I guess.
