OnePlus 3T Face unlock? share your opinion - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

I know 3t has a facial recognition features but it doesn't unlock fully. Recently, the 5T rolled out with an ultra-quick face unlock that really surprised me how quick it is.Do you guys think OnePlus should add this feature to the 3T ?

Its arguable. But the 5 already got it in the leaked Oreo build.
So its a maybe maybe situation.

Gravity Box for Xposed has an Instant Unlock option, i.e. the phone unlocks instantly when the correct password/pin is entered, without any further button pressing or swiping. Combined with the Smart Unlock option (Face Recognition), you get an instant face Unlock. It's probably not as secure as the 5T implementation, but it's pretty fast.

face unlock without special camera is just a bad idea, i can break my brother face unlock using my face on dark environment easily, and we're not twins

I HAVE TRIED THESE TIPS ON MY GALAXY S 5 SM G900H VARIANT AND I AM 100 % SURE THAT THESE VERY SMALL BUT HELPFUL TIPS WILL ALSO HELP ALL OTHER MODELS TO IMPROVE THERE FINGERPRINT SCANNER
1 JUST MAKE SURE KEEPING IT IN STRAIGHT DIRECTION
make sure that you have kept it straight
i know not being able to use the fingerprint scanner with one hand is a pain but if you adjust that way the you’ll have much more success and comfort with it
2 USE THE SCREEN ALSO FROM UPWARDS
i asked some people that how they use the fingerprint scanner and was shocked to see that many dumb ones don't use the screen mentioned above main button which holds the fingerprint scanner in it
so please start sliding finger right from the upper tip of the dotted space shown on screen to get good results
3 REGISTER SAME FINGERPRINT PATTERN TWICE OR THRICE
this is the master trick for improving accuracy believe me friends
in our s5 we can register up to 3 fingerprints { I BELIEVE IN FUTURE THROUGH UPDATE FROM SAMMY WE CAN GET MORE }
register the same pattern thrice and believe i get less error while unlocking the phone by fingerprint method
THE LATEST UPDATE ALSO PROMISES OF IMPROVED FINGERPRINT SCANNER AND HEART SENSOR
I CANNOT MAKE SURE OF FINGERPRINT SCANNER BUT HEART RATE SENSOR HAS BECOME MORE PRECISE THAN BEFORE

HAVE FUN WITH MINSTER GALAXY S5 :good::good::good::good::good::laugh::laugh:
A SIMPLE THANKS BY YOU IS ENOUGH FOR ME
TL;DR?
Debloaded guide:
1.Keep it(???) in straight direction. (?)
2.Drag finger on screen and downwards, as instructed.
3.Record more patterns.
:good:
Tips from me.
You can register several fingerprints in one "pattern", every swipe you do that is "successful" is recorded and will work fine. 'If I remember right there is 8 or 9 swipes, that will give you some room to have several prints in one "save".
Don't do the same swipe over and over, do some variations and you will have a easier time to unlock.
I recommend you do your thumb in a one hand grip aswell as your index-finger in the two and grip as instructed(but only use that one as a backup if thumb happens to fail).
I really don't see why people have such difficulty with the fingerprint scanner. Straight line down, not too fast...
LOL ?! I see no sense from this post ! Please close it !
The scanner is already pretty accurate. I can use three different fingerprints.
And i think the title sould be " How to use the gs5 fingerprint scanner properly."

Is there any way to register more fingerprints?
Id like to use both my tumbs and both my index fingers, witch is 4 on total and we are limited to 3...
Quick question about unlock with the scanner - Is it possible to have the scanner unlock activated but also show a pattern/pin code unlock on the screen?
The reason i ask is because i have read that sometimes it isn't that accurate and so instead of just keep trying to use the scanner, i would just unlock it with a pattern
Mine always works, I must say though, the fingerprint scanner on the iPhone 5S was MUCH better and MUCH more accurate:crying:
I think so to,and more practical because you dont have to swipe your finger. I do have to say that i was expecting it to be less usable and it works better than i thought but still not at the same level as the iphone.
Anyone knows if there is a mod to have the screen showing the pattern unlock also? Just because sometimes the fingerprint doesnt work and i dont like the password metendo, so it would be more practical to just be able to unlock with pattern right away
Just to add a little to this. I've never had a problems getting the scanner to work and was pleasantly surprise as to how good it was but having to swipe down makes using it one handed a bit of a pain and I was searching to see if there was any mod to be able to swipe up without any luck though.
Then it dawned on me that down is only from the phones point of view so I now just flip the phone over as I press the front button to get the lock screen and can then use my thumb to swipe up to unlock the phone then spin it round again as the phone wakes up.
I have of course registered other digits so I can unlock it normally but being able to use it one handed increases the use for me quite significantly.

Anyone use the fingerprint scanner while having a case on the phone.
By the way fingerprint unlock also works perfectly when swiping up and holding the phone the right way up! ☺
Nice! Helpful thanks
working fine for me...
Mine is hit or miss....sometimes fail sometimes accurate...
Is it possible to wake up and at the same time open by using only home button....becoz for the first time im testing it on my galaxy s5 running lineage os 14.1.
Pressing home button while swiping is always fail to ooen lol...is there any way to fix this....
I want the way like s7 fingerprint wake and unlock with just preeaing the home button....

Face unlock - shaved vs bearded face

Hi guys, I use face unlock as my main unlock method but often the phone struggles when my beard grows a little long. Is there a way to get the phone understand both looks? I have the less secure option already enabled but would be good if the phone can learn that facial features can change over the weeks.

Anyone else have security issues with face unlocking?

On my Mi 9T Pro, face unlocking has been very problematic, as I found out that my brother can also unlock my phone. This obviously does not speak to the face unlock's security, as I do not even look that alike to him. When I tried re-adding my face several times it continued to have the same problem, even when I went outside in the bright light to set it up, my brother could still unlock it. I have since disabled it as this likely means it is unlock-able to anyone with a similar face or even a piece of paper.
This is the case with all camera based face unlocking.
Not really, have tried the same with galaxy s8 camera face unlocking, and it doesn't have this issue. I don't think this should have been put in this phone if it as insecure as it seems.

Well there are some differences. Here and many phones are only using a cheap 2d image recognition method, which i would say is mostly only an unsecure gimmick.
additional security would use 2 cameras for a 3d face recognition. Still not as good as a fingerprint lock, but already pretty robust.
with an extra infrared projector it is also possible to recognize faces in the dark or in too bright places for regular camera images.

Any way to make face unlock work on p5?

Love having a finger print reader on the phone but do miss the face unlock in certain situations like if the phone is in the car cradle or sitting on my desk. Any way to add it? Not sure why we don't have it. Used a oneplus 8 for 2 weeks and it used the front camera to unlock the phone.
IIRC, OnePlus added face unlock to the OP3/3T through an update without any special sensors so maybe it is possible, but it might not be the most secure form of unlocking.
While a lot of people seem to like it, it's an awful form of security.. Maybe that's why they've decided to not use it, I know I wouldn't.
Iris sensor FTW

Question New Pixel owner. unlock questions

Hello Folks,
Coming from a S20 im finding the fingerprint scanner quite infuriating. has anyone fund a way to improve this?
Oh and sometimes it goes straight to the pin, not even an option to unlock. why?
Maybe (I doubt it) google will improve the fingerprint with software updates overtime. For now it's just totally unreliable. If you want to live with pixels you have to adapt I use smartlock (smartwatch) and thanks to that I don't need to use fingerprint at all (well almost, 2-3 times a day it asks for it).
I come from Samsung Galaxy Flip4 (S21 ultra before), I have Pixel 7 for 3 days and I have no problem with fingerprint.
Have you tried re-registering your fingers?
Its improved having the fingerprint registered twice. but for some reason you can only register 4 of them
