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

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.

Galaxy Note 2 S Pen / Screen issue

Hello everyone,
I was so excited to get my note 2 until i came upon the following issue.
I am having a dead zone on my note 2 screen. Whenever I try to write somthing on that zone, nothing is detected. I have to press harder on the pen to make it wite there. And when it does write the handwriting is weird and and inaccurate.
For example: when i try to draw a straight line over that dead zone, the line becomes curvy.
Also when I hover over the dead zone, the pointer moves further away
What is really weird, that issue only happens when i use the s pen. When i used my finger the screen responds perfectly with no issue what so ever.
I tried calibrating gyroscope, restarting, but that did not help.
Anyone knows whats going on?

So you have a case with a magnetic clasp, this will throw off the spen at the spot closest to the magnet.

Nexus 4 screen dots

Hi, I have noticed that when I have blocked my Nexus and I put it reflecting the sun light, I can see a grid of points, I don't know how to explain, but I have recorded my smartphone to show you what I'm talking about.

Thats normal its your touchpanel sensors i believe ive seen it on every touch phone i have had.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Didn't see it on my 2 Samsung Super AMOLED screens but it was also visible on my old Xperia X10. Probably depends on the screen technology.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

I've also noticed that. It's not bothering though as it can be seen only when the screen is off. I know that Galaxy Nexus didn't had it. But I think it's kinda nice looking.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

As it has already been said, it's the touch panel. Whether you can see it or not depends on the used touch panel. On some phones you can see it, on some you can't.
It's nothing to worry about.

Same here!

If Faux made a calibration app, would you use it?

If Faux cooked up an app for us to be able to calibrate our screens, would you use it? I for one would and I'd imagine that every user in the Nexus 7 forums would jump aboard.
What I'm basically doing is getting a show of hands. Maybe if Faux would see this, he'd jump on it. I'd easily pay $5 for such an app. These screens are horribly calibrated out of the box as you all know..

Yea colors, contrast, brightness and gamma.
Some people get lucky and get a screen they're satisfied with like yourself, but some of us aren't so lucky.
For example my N7s gamma is too high and everything is overly bright or has a bloom effect so to speak. Essentially making reading text a task. Stressful on my eyes, etc.

It's not an AMOLED display, we cant calibrate it.
If we could, devs would have done it already.

Then sir please explain me why the n4 which has a IPS LCD can be calibrated. The only reason we can't calibrate it is because the devs can't find an interface (kernel) to change the colors like it is with the n4 (or amoled devices) . Seems like nvidia and Asus went cheap on this one... I hope there will be some changes for the new Android version.

That doesn't matter one bit. Neither does the type of screen. Any display can be calibrated. It's just a matter of figuring out how.

Calibrating this screen is simply not possible because the interface is not there. The only way to calibrate is using the specialized software from the factory, which we obviously don't have. It will never be possible in the kernel, unless google/asus adds it (unlikely).

I would definitely buy it, not happy with the N7 colours saw etc. Unfortunately it's just not possible with the N7.

Amoled always has calibration info to mess with due to how they work (no backlight) and their infancy requiring calibration.
Samsung devices almost always have calibration info, probably due to touchwiz and their display modes feature.
Nexus 4 users just got lucky. Google made a source change to emphasize yellows, leaving code for the devs to play with and now understand.

[Q and advice request] How to clean up my white gear?

Guys my rose gold - white gear getting dirty. White is darken, Grey spots via dust maybe my shirts fabric color etc. Idk.. Its very dirty and darken white now..
How can i clean and whiten that? Ps: Water, soap, dishes soap, dont work..

I have exactly the same issue. I'm not sure it is dirt and fear it may be a reaction to the UV light as noting will shift it and one strap (the one with camera) is significantly more discolour than the other, which happens to be the side that faces out more. I have contacted Samsung and its going in tomorrow, I'm expecting that they'll replace the strap as it is almost a disgrace to wear now after only about 6 weeks. I can let you know how that goes if its useful? My main worry is they'll replace it and it just happens again

Try chlorox cleanup wipes

Yes paul if Sammy replace it new one, probably it will happen again..

Sent from my SM-N9000Q using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Note quite the same maybe, and bad news, but I had the White Ice Nike Fuel band and ended up trading it in for a Black Ice model, due to "dirt" and discoloration. Since I am in business, I opted for the black on black Gear, but I did get the white Note 3, since you can replace the back cover easily if it was to happen to that. Good luck sir with a fix.

It should be fine with chlorine.
