i've seen the voice recognition feature for the nexus one and it's really great and useful (especially when composing sms messages i almost drooled watching the video lol)
is there anyway to port or get it on the HD2? or are there any apps that can do it?
isn't there anybody who can help with this ?
you serious?
Probably the fact that nexus one runs a completely different operating system with also significantly different hardware slipped you
The speech-to-text feature is AWSOME imo, and I would also love to see it on such a great device as the HD2. The voice recognition on Google Maps acctually works pretty accurate on the HD2, so speech-to-text might be a possibility for this device!

yea man i totally agree
i didn't really try the voice recognition in google maps, but if it's as u say it sure gives us hope to see such great feature on our HD2
I read of a nexus ROM cooked for the HD2 with voice recognition but didn't download it at the time, now I can't find it again
If anyone knows of it, please share.
there was a program around a while ago (german,i think) that could do text to voice,cannot remember if it could do other way round,voice to text...
Is there a way to develope a lockscreen that can only be unlocked by one person(owner) by means of facial recognition? (front facing cam) Or by thumb recognition (screen scanner?) This would make it super secure and you wouldnt have to hide your unlock pattern like most of the secure lockscreens we have avaliable nowadays. I know CM7 has a pretty nice one with the invisible dots I think, But Im not running that rom, Maybe that lockscreen can get ported?
Just a thought, Im sure this could be a huge success if perfected! Thoughts?

Please note that Finger print Security Scanner is for entertainment purposes and does not actually scan your fingerprint. This is a prank application to have fun with your friends.
Also, NOTE that pressing the home button will unlock the phone, this has been done intentionally to ensure that even if you have forgotten the Key to unlocking the phone you do not land up in trouble.

You could use Visidon but I think it only locks apps. I found it didn't work too well with different lighting.
Just thought I'd put it out here... I'm all for safe and secure phone... I for one used the 3x3 pattern lock for the longest time. Untill one day I had a medical emergency and was unresponsive.... EMS crews tried to get into my phone to call someone to find out if i was allergic to anything... Needless to say they didn't get into my phone.
Lucky I was ok 5 min later.....
Moral of the story its nice to have a secure lock but can be problematic if a emergency arises.

Facial Recognition is iffy on CM9 Builds atm. The Epic's future life is now in the hands of getting it official to Cynanogenmod. Once it becomes official, CM9 would be what lies ahead, hopefully by then, our brother and sister Galaxy S phones will have Facial Recognition worked out and maybe we'll be able to fork that source over to the Epic.
Finger Scan won't ever work without the proper hardware. Even with costly proprietary software, it wouldn't be feasible. As for locks, I currently use a combination of the 10 lockmod and a pin number as my password. It seems to be the most effective method of keeping my phone safe. I can rest assured that nobody will guess my pin, whilst still having the ease of unlocking it with a few numbers.

1. The capacitive touch screens in our phones aren't designed to recognize fingerprints. Besides, finger print readers can be easily fooled by laser toner and a picture of your finger print, as MythBusters showed.
2. Face recognition can be fooled using a photo of you.
The face recognition is mostly a gimmick, it's not meant to be a security feature as much as a balance of ease-of-use / security. It offers some security while making it vastly easier to unlock your phone, not involving hands.
The most secure is a long password/code.

+1 to this! Biometrics are hard to get right. If they are too restrictive, you can't even unlock your own device. Some of the better systems involve long pins (8+, preferably 10+) and a number display board that randomizes each time. That keeps greasy fingerprints on the screen from disclosing anything and people will have a hard time guessing or watching you type your pin.
I'm just curious as to what some of you guys store on your phones that warrants such high level security? It's gotta be more than some nudes. Nuclear reactor plans, bomb schematics, presidential schedules...?

Right? I mean, I understand if they're CIA material but this is a little ridiculous lol. I don't think I need a long pass on my Epic. I highly doubt anyone is going to try and use brute force to figure out my pass. Not that it isn't possible, but there's just no gain.

Who cares? If someone wants a secure phone, that is their agenda. Android is built as an open system so people can configure their phone how they see fit. Unfortunately there aren't many secure lockscreens that can't be fooled, other than the swipe pattern and pin key.

Well, how about this? Is it possible to have a lockscreen that reads only gestures? And you can make a gesture that unlocks the phone, seemingly endless possibilities for an unlock, but very simple, as it can be any gesture you please.
I have searched alot on xda, android community, Google, and some other sites but have not seen anything about face unlock being ported to the evo. I have seen some post of it being questioned for the 3d but nothing on the 4g. so I was just wondering if y'all had any input, news, or even gossip about as I think the feature would be great.... but obviously don't have my hopes up as jaredthegreat just got to beata stage on his ics and deck is still in alpha. any comments are welcome

Considering the front camera is still not working on any ICS build that I know of for the Evo4G, I wouldn't think it would be talked about much as one would definitely be important for the other.
This doesn't seem like it would be all that secure. Does it distinguish between your real face or a picture of your face that can be placed in front of the camera?
It scans and maps features on your face.
And to the OP, until the front camera is working in any ICS rom, we wont have it. It cant be ported to a Gingerbread rom.

Facial recognition is nice, but really easy to bypass. Japan tried facial recognition in cigarette vending machines to determine age, and kids just ended up holding up pictures of older people to bypass. Still works on the ICS facelock. Until they incorporate multi angle unlocks, it will be too easy to bypass for my liking.

Facial recognition will never be truly secure until the photo sensors can map in 3d to differentiate between a 2d and 3d image or until they incorporate a laser scanner that scans the 3d texture of a face along with the photo recognition
We are legion, for we are many.
Well, if you could get the software to recognize a partial sweep (as in turning your head from left to right), then that would be a bit more secure. Or at least have it take 3 screen captures (3/4 right, dead on, and 3/4 left) then it would be a bit more difficult to bypass.

Yeah its still being worked on by the devs, but it is really nothing more then a party gab, I wouldn't use it, the new ics face unlock could be defeated by a picture, so it really isnt secure...but yeah

Really the only one that has impressed me is the eraser mode on the camera that removes moving objects... otherwise, all the "smart" features stay off. Battery hogs to the max.

Unless you use the "smart" features you don't know that for a fact. I have been using the smart features on and off for over a week, with the features / gimmicks on and running there isn't much battery drain at all.
While a lot of the features are gimmicks some are actually very useful.
Smart stay - (the best one out of all them, should be in stock Android)
Quick glance - (use this all time while it's on my desk or on a table)
Air view - (helps me dig through text messages fast and zoom in on some websites)
Air gesture - (I actually go in the gallery a lot and this makes browsing photos more fun and... natural? in a sense)
Palm motion - (use this all the time to answer phone calls and mute or pause music also use it to capture screenshots
Direct call - (I have to admit it's nice and very useful to just directly call someone while simply just moving the phone to your head while in the texting or contacts app)

I used Air View for a bit but it made my screen too sensitive which i used those specific programs.
besides that the only Air feature that i might turn on is Air Call Accept. And it only works during phone calls so its not bad.
The watchon TV controller thing is a bit weird. Doesnt work all the time..
Today I was eating lunch with my phone next to me. Got a call and used the gesture to answer and have the speaker turn on without me touching the phone. That was nice. Voice control camera is cool, but saying different things changes how the camera shoots. I'm still figuring that one out.
Thanks for the replies, none of these sounds useful to me.

Alright, i apologize for the snap judgement. Im fanatical about battery, and they do drain extra, which to me is unacceptable for what you get in exchange. Was much more impressed with the smart stay than any of the new ones, and depending on how many times you let the screen almost time out it can add a fairly substantial amount.
Your right, i should probably rephrase my 'hog' assessment, im probably more picky than others about battery. .

I own an echo, 2 Ghomes and a V20 with Google assistant, and I think there is major room for improvement on both systems. I'm pretty excited to try a new Ai.
Well you'll have a bit of a wait since it won't have voice enabled for a while.
The hate is probably due to Samsung preventing re-mapping of the button to something else and Bixby not being ready for prime time. I believe people like choices and the option to change whatever they want since its their phone.
Because we all know it's going to suck and be useless.
I've always went in with a don't diss it till you try it attitude and I will do the same for Bixby.

Like all AI is.
"Google Assistant is so great!!!"
No, MKBHD, it isn't.
It's the fact that we're forced to use it. Sure it can probably be disabled, but there's a physical hardware button dedicated to it. If you don't like it, that button is a total waste of space that could server a relevant purpose.
Am I the only person who dosent use Google assistant? What does it do that's so special I have never used it on any of my phones

I dunno, Samsung has a ton of in home devices they could add Bixby to. I don't really see they having too much difficulty doing what google does, read apps or the first link from a web search.
Native smartthings support and Samsung SmartTVs. If they decide to release a Chromecast/FireTV streaming box. I think they will be late to the game, but have way more in home penetration.

I'm willing to try it, mainly since there's a physical button dedicated to it. However, like with all of these virtual assistants, I feel rather lukewarm about them all. Never really had a desire to try them, so kinda have to push myself to try Bixby.

I use it for controlling my Smartlights, my news briefing in the morning, long google searches and sending texts while i'm driving (It will read and reply to text/hangouts in Android auto)
Pretty sure it's the dedicated button to an app that no one it's going to use. They could have made it a power button instead
They hate it because Samsung put a dedicated button for people to use something they sunk a ton of money into, the hate really doesn't make sense. Competition is good and should be encouraged, we should be happy there are so many companies developing assistants for us to use even if some of us don't see their point.
Personally, I don't use Google Assistant or anything else. I don't see the point of talking to my phone when I have perfectly working fingers on my hands (I also don't drive.), but just because I don't use them doesn't mean I have to hate them.
That said, removing the ability to remap the button using an accessibility service was a **** move.
I would love to remap the stupid bixby button to a camera shutter function. And I dont mean launch the camera when pressed, I want the phone to take a picture when its pressed even if the screen is off. That would be an amazing rooted mod.
Yeah, that's what I want... A bunch of pictures of the inside of my pocket every time I accidentally hit that button. (That was sarcasm)
No thanks. I would hate that feature.

Honestly I prefer the on screen shutter button. I've tried settings the volume buttons to take a picture but I always find it more stable to use the on screen buttons because it doesn't involve me pushing the phone.

i dont use voice assistants. Makes me look retarded in public..
Havent use it so cant say if it sucks or not. But i do believe it will be more integrated then google. Its has translate and online image search built into the camera. Which is a good thing, i normally have to switch to the apps for these.
So ill have to see how it all goes and what it is like because i can knock it or not.
Same goes for the swipe up app screen (i know you can turn if off but ill try it for a while and see)
