Post ICS - Make sure you check out Facial Recognition

[wkufan92]

Facial Recognition works really well.

It is listed under Settings, then Security.

Yeah I was messing with that a bit last night and it seems to work really well. I'll probably just stick with the standard swipe to unlock screen though.

I think its cool that its there, im just not always looking at my phone the instant i unlock it... so swiping for me it is

 

[llfloyd79]

I don't see facial recognition anywhere under Security. Can you elaborate?

 

[fcjr77]

Yeah, I don't see it in there either.

Go to Settings -> Security-> Screen Lock. Face Unlock is one of the options.

I tried it overnight and I did it with a coworker who has a head shape like mine and it unlocked it but if I tilted my head it didn't work. 5 other people I had try to unlocked did guess the PIN I setup though even though it was random numbers, so SWIPING is for me.

Would the phone unlock if you are in the dark? I'm guessing it would, but haven't played with this feature yet.

I tried it and yeah it works well, but it's still kinda gimmicky.
I saw a test on another site where a photo of a person was used to unlock the phone.
