2011-12-15
what's up guys is Dave here from former Ofcom and today we're doing a quick video on how face unlock works on Android Ice Cream Sandwich and the Galaxy Nexus so with that said I'll go ahead and show you how to do it you're gonna go to settings and then you're gonna go to security and from security you're gonna set screen lock and then face unlock and now you can see right here it says face unlock is less secure than a password painter pattern I'm someone who looks similar to you kid unlock your phone and your data is kept private so let's set up so you see these little circles right here you have to put your face inside of it so I'm gonna you can see that these little circles circling around and I says face captured so we'll see how it works I'll hit continue I had to do a backup so just in case the times that it doesn't see you say I had night in the dark it's not gonna be able to see your face so you gotta set up a back back up so I'll just put 0 0 0 0 confirm that and let's see how it works so I'll do it 5 times just to show you how accurate it is so 1 4 1 2 4 2 3 3 4 4 even when I fill up my cheeks 5 4 5 alright so even when I stick out my tongue it gets so it's pretty accurate as you can see let's do a situation where it doesn't see me let's look right at the camera alright you can see promise you for the backup password and you can hit it hit OK and so you still get in your phone you'll have to worry about not being able to see it they did have a plan for that and as far as security goes it definitely isn't as secure as using a pan-arab password like like the warning said you know someone that looks like you I haven't seen anybody looks like me yet that was has been able to make this work yet but I have taken a picture of myself on another phone put the camera to the other phone screen and it does unlock so someone could definitely you know have a picture of you and unlock your phone now honestly if the person who steals your phone has a picture of your face you know they're probably not going to steal your phone to Paulino you but then again you know if you want to be super scared you don't want anybody getting in your phone even people we know then you know I wouldn't recommend it but I love it I find it to be faster than actually having to you know put in my pattern or put in a pin you just go like this unlock it I mean that's really quick it's almost like not having a password at all so that's pretty much it this is David from fumbles calm thanks for watching the video and don't forget to visit for more calm for more cellphone news reviews and how to's
