What is the point? There is no security at all.

It's a fingerprint. Not some fancy emotional-state-detection-unlock-only-if-sober-or-awake-or-alive

extra security, dur.
What is the point of putting the finger scanner in if it's going to be useless at preventing people from peeping through your phone.
I'm drunk most days of the week, I don't want my boyfriend and other guys going through my private parts when I'm knocked out. And phone is suppose to be private.

Then don't use scanner. Use password or pin lock

That's like expecting a seatbelt to save your life when you drive like a hoon. Then you go on to say you expected extra safety from the seatbelt because you drive like a hoon most times of the week.

Try using your toe print instead. Then don't wash your feet for a while. Much higher security.

The truth about the touchscreen waterdrop protection "feature"

Every AT&T user by now probably knows about the "feature" that protects your touchscreen from constant touch input from a waterdrop, right?
For every one of us that looove using our phone while swimming *sigh*.
Know why they implemented it? To protect your phone? No. Because of lazy, poor and dumb "copy & paste" engineering work.
Moto devs copied this "feature" from Defy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOHxx3P-YdU&noredirect=1
Only thing they forgot is that the Atrix IS NOT a waterproof phone.
Cool story bro.
I feel so cool by saying that. But really if you think that any manufacture writes code from ASOP source from scratch for every phone you're nuts and it really doesn't surprise me at all.

I´m not saying that. Only saying that copying code that makes sense for waterproof phones for phones that are not waterproof is just plain lazy and stupid work.

I write code from scratch all the time but I do agree that it's not surprising
the main question is- Can this damn thing be fixed???
I go swimming with mine all the time. I dont have any touch imput so i think this feature is great.
Phone wont turn on though :/

[Bounty] Adamoutler Unlock bootloader

Sorry for Confusion. Bounty Fully met. Thanks anonymous donator.
#update1 Adam pulled files from me yesterday he said he wanted to try something. Also he has ordered his device.
#update2 Adam's work can be followed on this page.
So, the man is not only being offered $1400 for his skills if he can pull this off, but also being handed the device to do it? Sounds like win/win. Count me in when I get home. Chipin is failing on my phone.

If i get any money from this, I'll put it to good use. XDA could use some funding for T-Shirts and other promotial items to give away at the Big Android BBQ and I'm sure there are other good causes. I'm speaking at the Big Android BBQ so that's the first thing that comes to mind. Regardless, you can expect it go go to a good cause.

That's an amazing gesture. Something a lot could not say. Don't misinterpret what I was saying, though. I was never accusing you of being in it for the money, just saying that it was some great motivation. You're an outstanding member of the community and guys like you are the reason I'm proud to be here.

I'm sure people have bad tastes in their mouths from all the Rezound fiascos, especially from EvilDevNull. This is way more legit though.

What about now?
Phones this size are perfect for basketball players and from what I've read and seen he's actually been using this as his daily driver! I think this phone is great for anyone who can palm a basketball, thats why I have no problem with the size for myself.
As for you Laker fans, they have too much against them to even get out of the western conference this year. They need to gel together as a team, they need to get comfortable with Dantoni's system, and they need to learn how to be a top defensive team. I'm not sure if they can accomplish that last point under Dantoni. Also as much as I hate to say this about a fellow Canadian, I think Nash may be all washed up now. At this point I'd say that the Grizzlies, Clippers, Thunder, and Spurs have much better chances of making it to the finals this year.
GO HEAT GO! lol
Crap, makes me want to sell my Note2. If it was Kobe, I'ld smash it.

Still, if anyone wants an engraved case then they should just Google phone engraving as there are lots of companies offering this service.

[Touch Screen] Does it support nails & knuckles?

Hi people,
I just wanted to know if the Nexus 4 touch screen support fingernails (like i.e. Galaxy S3).
Anyone with a Nexus 4 could try this for me?

Sebastian.
lol yes it does. Even my s1 does

Just tried using the backside of my nail on my OG Evo... worked fine. The tip of my nail also works but i suspect the tip of my finger is also barely touching the screen so I angled my finger more extremely so it was only the nail. Still works both ways. That will be disappointing if the N4 touchscreen can't do this...

I'm guessing you don't have an N4 yet, because it absolutely will not register touch via your nails.
also supports knees and elbows
I can confirm that nose, ear (upper and lobe) and toes all work.
Also penis

Well i usually use nails when my fingers are sweaty, dirty or whatever.
At least to fast unlock and make a call. (Quick actions).
I think it won't be a problem...resigning to this feature when i am to have a nexus 4.

[PWM] [Discomfort] [PWM free kernel?]

Hi,
I am experiencing a mild discomfort in eyes while using the phone and headache as well.
I am wondering if samsung is gonna release DC dimming in updates.
Also, if it is due to PWM i am using an app called OLED Saver..which is able to reduce pwm effectively but i am still experiencing discomfort.
If someone can help or suggest something.
IF SOMEONE CAN MAKE OR HELP MAKING A PWM FREE KERNEL. REALLY APPRECIATED!
Need help. Thank you.
