Is face unlock not supported on the S7 Edge? I've searched and nothing seems to address this question. Is this only a Nexus feature because I had it on my Nexus 5.
Thanks
I hate to bump but no one has an answer to my question?

Rydah805,
Are you on T-mobile? I am and maybe they disabled it?

Looks like we're not the only ones, here is a link to one of the few discussions I could find with other S7 owners missing face unlock.

Any idea on how to restore the function?

Not really interested in rooting just to restore a function that should be there in the first place. What reason could they have for not including it?
Do any Samsung products have face unlock? I checked with T-Mobile and as far as the rep knows it is something with Samsung.
I'm rooted and I don't have the function

You probably need to install a custom ROM to enable it.

I bought MyBackup Pro or something like that. It has a pretty good UI. I use it mainly to back up texts to their cloud. They have a demo version if you wanted to check it out.
Just root it. Its pretty safe. Make sure you get a recovery that works.

I use titanium backup as just a means to keep the apks of apps I've bought and and downloaded off the market so I can reinstall them after flashing a ROM. Restoring apps + data causes me nothing but trouble as in apps going 'rogue' and draining my battery by not letting my phone go to sleep. A fresh start for every app is recommended.

Ive managed to root it, although the bootloader is still locked.
Are there any simple "one click" ways of unlocking this too?

Is there a way to run tablet apps on a rooted Note 3? I saw a method a few weeks ago and tried that but ended up soft-bricking my phone. So I'm wondering if there's an easier way. I wouldn't think it'd be so complicated since the Note IS technically a mini-mini-tablet lol.

I remember seeing that as long as you have 4.4 you can use "tap-to-pay", but I am not seeing the option. Has anyone been able to get "tap-to-pay" to work on the new 4.4.2 leak?

IIRC our phone is missing some driver that it needs to make this work. The good news is with the latest leak I am hoping this may be something that can be fixed.

Google Wallet tap-to-pay does not work for the Verizon Note 3, even with 4.4.2 installed. You must be on a different carrier, or have a modded version of Google Wallet to allow it. If you would provide a screenshot of Google Wallet tap-to-pay working for you phone and how exactly you were able to enable the feature, you would be a well thanked person on here. I hate to sound rude, but as of yet, the tap-to-pay feature does not work. I've tried every mod I could when I searched Google for tap-to-pay mods. I haven't been able to get anything to work yet.

I read through the article, and it says nothing about tap-to-pay working for our devices. Only that they are discontinuing the functionality for phones not running 4.4+. I have 4.4 running on my phone, and tap-to-pay does not work. Verizon still has it blocked. So if you have it working on your Verizon Note 3, please post a screenshot of your device with the functionality enabled, and also post how you were able to get it working.

It may not be just Verizon blocking it for Note 3, Samsung might also have a hand in it. I have Verizon HTC one M7 running 4.4 and tap to pay is setup and ready to use.
Maybe when official 4.4 for note 3 is released it might be enabled but who knows lol.

When sources come out I believe and that won't be till after the 11th, the official release.
So is everyone just manually installing all their apps and redoing all their settings? Damn, it'll take me days! Google doesn't do a great job of restoring apps on new phones like Apple.

On the s6 we rooted just by repacking the ramdisk with some scripts to install busybox and superuser and then flashing in Odin. I'm not sure if that's how it works here too but I may give it a shot.

If you use Kingroot, I'm sure it will happen soon, I personally have not seen one device that Kingroot can't handle. You may just have to do it a couple of times.
Don't use chrome to download it detects this as virus or a bad file. They don't want you to root android phones.

Not everyone knows that. There are people that got the S7 that haven't had a phone with Samsung Pay so I like to let people know that there is that negative aspect of rooting. And there are plenty of people who use Tap and Pay. You don't have to be an ass to me or anyone else here.
