Soon as you tag the face once, it should start recognising the face in future photos.

I think you can only tag a face when the phone itself actully reconises it as a face, kinda stupid tbh And the photo has to be taken with face dectection on

I just went through and tagged a bunch of pics on my SD card. None of them were taken with the phone. It didn't recognize all of them as faces but it did recognize most. It also auto tagged several after I manually tagged a few.
Ok mine don't autotag nothing...... BTW I have to shoot whit face detection on? And any way to let x10 autotag photo taken in the past? That feauture is not documented well
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
you use the face detection with the camera (on settings) then go to mediascape and there assign a face to a contact, after that every time you take a pic the face recognition system will assign a contact the the face and automatically saves it under the contact
Is there any way of retrospectively tagging photos which contain faces that you've later tagged. Ie. After I've tagged a face can I get it to go back and find any other photos of that person and tag them for me automatically? Doing it manually is a pain in the ass!!

It did do that for me but it is not 100% accurate. I did have to tag some people multiple times.

Maybe it's a feature in the Japanese X10 (SO-01B) only, but, all my photos with recognized faces got tagged automagically, including photos that were sent to me via email or downloaded and saved from the web.
Really disturbing, to be honest, when some friend's faces were tagged before I had even opened the picture for the first time.

Yeah.. hence, I wrote "recognized". Then again, I've only tagged 6 or 7 people.
The annoying thing I find with the tag feature is... it can recognize every single person except me. :\
i love the face detection feature on the X10, works great for me, but ironically i would have loved to be able to tag someone even if there face wasn't recognized. I can't seem to do that with mediascape. Might there be a third party program that does that ?

Sorry, I meant that it worked on a ROM other than SO-01B. I am on the AT&T version which is R2CA016. I had been using unbranded version 026 and face detection worked on that version for me as well. Unfortunately, if you wipe your phone you will have start from scratch on face detection. It doesn't seem to sync that info anywhere. The AT&T version doesn't have SE Sync so I wonder if SE Sync retains that info?

"automagically"
Not a real word, but I love it...!
Let's get this one into the dictionary!
the face detection actually work with any photo. doesn't have to be photo taken by x10 with face detection on. so any picture with face will work. then once you tag on face, the phone will work on background, and tag other pictures. this is the one of the feature i love in x10.
then for newly taken picture with face, that one will be processed immediately and if successful will have the face tagged.
now the real problem is, the face detection code is not really good, i found Picasa face detection works much better. so don't expect all face will be recognize by the phone. I think 2.1 will have better recognition later.
some of experience with the face detection are:
1. 8mpix with face and torso taken with other camera, usually cannot be recognized
2. same picture as above, if scaled down to 800x800 might be recognized
3. low contrast picture might not be recognized
4. photo will full body taken usually failed, with a cropped mugshot will work even though the cropped mugshot have still have same resolution (not scaled)
so basically this whole face detection is still not perfect, but its better than nothing
one more thing, for those who use task killer, if you kill certain SE core module like LearningClient and FaceDetection, then the face detection will not run in background.
Anyone got it working?
I know it's there, cause when i look at the installed app list with anttek app manager it is shown on the list. but anyone got it working?

Front camera working for me .... did you flash via CWM ? and if so did you then flash the full ICS (minus recovery) OVER THE TOP ?
That seems to clear up a lot of small issues .....
It seems to be the only issue I have so far, everythign else works like a charm...
I just used the update feature in the tab itself...
Edit: The front cam does work when I switch to it in the Ustream app... so I guess it will work in Skype to... I never use it in the camera app anyway

no what i meant is that there arent many (any?) phones/tablets with a flash on the Front camera so its not an issue with the TF and face unlock ....
like i say though - face unlock on my Nexus is pretty much unused.
Faceunlock is one of the few new options in Android which is actually noticeable. ASUS sucks just like the others.

Obviously, the Nexus 7 does not have a camera installed on its back side. Can anyone confirm if any barcode scanning apps would work? I know it would be awkward trying to scan a barcode with the front camera, but if anyone knows please reply!

How would you expect to line up the barcode without being able to look at the screen? I think scanning is out...
None of the scanning apps allow use of the front facing camera, so unless they decide to add support, they're not going to work.
and it's incredibly unlikely to be honest.
Unlikely I agree.
But think about the last time you bought groceries.
The scanner is like a big tablet, and you just pass the item in front of the camera.
I can see no technical reason why that model would not work.
oh i'm sure it would work with the front camera, but none of the apps support it as far as i know.
I'm sure you could request that the devs add support. up to them if they want to.
A high resolution, autofocus camera is needed to read most barcodes. The front camera might be able to handle QR codes.

I don't think it is stupid. It may well be technologically unlikely. But no harm in asking the question. And if someone did this I'd be delighted.

Video calls. That appears to be the only real reason, for Skype and other VOIP systems. The resolution and fixed focus would bear that out, too. It's clearly not ment to be used as a regular camera, scanner, etc (though I'm sure someone will figure out how to do it...)
And that's fine with me, because the competition (Kindle Fire, Nook) don't have even that camera.

That is cool, sadly I can't get it to read any barcodes though. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Worked great for me for scanning in barcode for Google Authenticator.
Are you holding the tablet in the correct orientation (landscape with camera on left when looking at N7) ?

Hi, I'm an author of Barcode Scanner. It doesn't use the front camera since only rear cameras are treated as 'real' cameras by Android, and the API for using second cameras appeared later than the API leve the app supports (2.3), which makes it tricker.
We made a 'premium' version that does, among other things, support front-camera-only devices like the Nexus 7.
Search for "barcode scanner plus" on Google Play -- sorry I can't posts links yet.

Sean,
Would it be possible to have the app scan a bar-code using a phone and send the information via Bluetooth to the tablet? That way we have the best of both worlds. I would certianly pay for "Plus" to get this option!
Just found this... was looking for a way to scan QR codes for shipping labels into the Nexus 7. Learnscan works good, just takes a bit getting used to lining it up as it is backwards and reversed from what you are used to.
Works good enough in a lit room. Scanning stuff off the screen is easier.
Can you just put the tablet down on the table, bring the product to the camera, and look at the screen to position the barcode?
It seems very doable.
you can... in fact that is what I end up doing, but it is much harder than you think it might be. the app changes the camera view by rotating it, so you are working against where you think you should be moving to have you end up seeing....
If you had anything to drink, forget about it...
You have to actually try it to see what I mean... its like driving backwards except the camera view you are looking at is rotated 90 degrees.
the app btw is free, or least the one I tried.

Can you tether it to a phone so you can use the phone's internet connection? This is something most smartwatches seem to be lacking, even though it should be included if the manufacturer doesn't mess with the software (i.e. removing that option intentionally)

I meant that it is lacking phone pair connectivity. Such as ; if you get a text the phone cannot notify you, or if you have a call coming in the watch will not notify you... this software doesn't exist yet. I have tried numerous apps on play store but no luck as of yet.

It's a 2 mega pixel camera... the quality isn't too bad overall... video quality is actually Very Good... i sent a video from the watch to my galaxy note 2 and the resolution was very surprising..... it was good. not too much distortion - The only thing is that the frame rate is less so you will noticing a little skipping vs a high quality galaxy note or s4 camera would take.. this is expected though.

Good question. If it does have 3G, anyone tried hotspoting it yet? Would be great to be able to have a wrist hotspot.
Be nice to know if this chip set has a GPS bc navigation would be great if it is supported too.
So I'm guessing its the device being slow but I wanted to see what everyone else had experienced and if there is a fix.
Basically I find the camera terrible. The only way to get a decent shot with less than perfect light is to use the stabilizer, which as many of you know slows down the pictures as it has to process the picture. This is VERY annoying to me. My iPhone 5s takes a much better shot and instantly without processing.
Has anyone found a fix for this be it prop settings or alternate camera apps?
I have to imagine there is a fix for this...
My last iPhone was the 5 (had the 4s before it). Apple sure has the whole "just works" thing down. That said, I REALLY like the Note 3 camera and the screen - I think it's better than the 5 - but in low light, the processing thing is INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. For a phone with this hardware, you'd think a 2 second "processing" bar would be a thing of the past.
Yea, so anyone find a fix? I want to take pics of my kid and don't have time to wait between pictures...
