Yea, this app is pretty nuts. I have it on my phone as we speak. My gf can't get in my stuff without my face recognition. Hahaha!!

What's it called? Link=requested item not found.

Has anyone tested this in low light situations? I'm curious how sensitive it is.

Works in low light but not when the light source is behind you its gotta be behind the phone

I had this a while back on my phone. Only bad thing is that anyone can just search you on Facebook or Google+ and they have access through your profile picture.

if you go to the portal on xda you should find they did an artical on the app and its ok not all perfect and if u just hold a printed picture of the person who is needed than u can still get in pointless at that point theory behind it is good

Lol yeah but who going to have a picture of your face? Especially if it at the spur of the moment lol

My take is as long as your old lady isn't frequenting this thread she's not likely to get past it to your text messages its not a govnt retina scanner but it def keeps most people out. Even if you left your phone somewhere it would be more than enough security to someone who doesn't know what you look like

cool, but PIN/password/pattern lock is a lot more practical in my view...

Awesome app, my gf will never get in now!! with the pattern and pin, she is good at watching me open it when in the car or something like that and then i see her later playin with it. and i don't think she will be smart enough(lol) to figure out she needs to put a photo to open it.

Flickering screen at below 50% of batt

it could happen with any battery if quality is not good or diminished. I think so at least Check your battery, does it look out of shape?
You could try a friends battery, or an alternative rom could also be another issue.
You can also experiment with the power saving features to turn them of.
Uninstall if any, power saving apps/ screenfilter apps.

Doesn't the warranty on batteries last for 12 months ? Why not get Samsung to replace it if it fails withing that time frame.
Then again, For the price of one, Is it worth all the aggro of sending it to Samsung, Waiting, Waiting some more, Then having it sent back ?
They do go pretty cheap online, And the Anker 5000mah are worth considering (except the size increase)

As they're classed as consumables I believe warranty on batteries is only 6 months, but I think it would be great if we could somehow make samsung aware of how short the battery life is on these, maybe some sort of petition.

Unboxing

Got my Gear in this morning. Wanted to do an unboxing video. A first for me. Enjoy!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uK2buXwEf8

Give us your impressions.

So far, I am limited until my phone arrives later on this afternoon. Right now I am wearing it to see how it feels. I have large wrists so I had to use the furthermost hole in the band, but it fits well. It has a bit of weight to it, which for some, might take a little getting used to. The buckle also serves as the speaker.
If you're typing it can interfere with the wrist rests on your keyboard but your mileage might vary. I did power it on and take it outside to test outdoor visibility. It's sunny here in Houston today, I didn't see any issues, but again, it's just my preference.
It came with a 71% charge. I used the cradle to charge it to 100% which didn't take long at all. The watch is pretty much useless without the phone.

I want to see a pic of it on your wrist for size comparison plz ,,,,thx

Can you tell me if an MMS will show up on screen ?
How far away from the phone can you get before it loses connection ?
Thanks!

Still waiting for the phone to arrive. UPS is notoriously late for standard deliveries around here. I was surprised when they overnighted the watch lol.
I'll try these things out as soon as I can.

Judging from a few comprehensive review I've seen yes it does have limitations like for the email. However this thing does have potential... At this rate though, checking the battery life will have to wait till tomorrow as I still don't have the phone...

Nexus 5 battery life. First full charge

So these are my results from 100% down to around 4% today. Just thought I'd stick them up for the people wondering about battery life!

Thanks for posting. Mind to keep it in of the already existing threads on battery life? Not being a jerk. It's just people like me are already following those threads and may miss your post.

People really should stop spreading that full initial charge BS seriously, it's 2013!
Unless you buying an electric power drill with a nickel cadmium or nickel metal-hydride battery, there's NO reason to top it off before using it or to charge for 8 hours! You're not prolonging the life of your battery nor are you preventing a memory effect by fully charging it.

The battery technology used in these now does NOT need special first charge procedure. Just charge it however you want, and enjoy the phone!

Notisync

I found this app though a bunch of searching. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattprecious.notisync)
I think it is close to getting us to seeing notifications from any app on the gear. So, far with things set up the way I have them it only vibrates/rings when I get something. It could be that I don't have hangouts installed on my watch (didn't want the google apps...didn't see a need).
Could someone with the google apps (and possibly the status bar installed via Aroma) test this out and see if it gets us further?
Only other thread I could find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560308 It mentions battery life issues. I'll test these out tomorrow.

Overnight the watch went down to 87% battery. I may try again tonight without it justvto see.

I can choose to get notifications on my gear from all of my phone apps without this.
Am I not understanding something with this thread?

I think I'm a bit lost here too. I can get notifications from any app on my phone without this app.

I wouldn't say badly. I'm able to spend an entire day at Disneyland (about 16 hours) getting/checking notifications using this and still have enough battery power for the 1 1/2 hour ride home. Sure you would get better battery life without it - but you would also get no notifications (non-touchwiz) without it too.
