Face unlock data usage?

Recently I started to check my data usage via ics's feature in the settings menu. What I came across surprised me big time.

That's strange indeed.

I wonder if they are doing some algorithm computation which is tied to their database and have to send data back and forth. Kind of like voice recognition. Try putting the phone in airplane mode and then use face unlock. I wonder if it will default to the preset pattern.

This is what I was thinking too.
I went to the security settings and found out my phone doesn't have face recognition (AOKP ms4) I could have sworn I've tried it out before haha.

ok, at first i was joking obviously
But after downloading a zip to flash Face Unlock for my phone..it's kinda got me wondering lol
For one, I took a screenshot of the first page when setting it up. Last point says all the info is saved on your phone. (see below)
2nd, I've been using it for a few hours now and i have no face unlock data usage as of yet. I'll check it again tomorrow afternoon.

honestly, this is a joke i think. the screenie in the op looks so horribly photoshopped! where in the hell did that giant yellow pie graph come from? i don't remember ever seeing that lol

You click on an app under data usage and it will show you the percentage used by that app.
Btw I don't see how you can think its photo shopped when it's 100% legitimate.

I have a question I made a GIF and I can not send it in a text message? It says it's to big. So I made a short one about 4 sec. Still to big?
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk

Sounds like it's high resolution. If you are sending it to someone who doesn't have advanced messaging then it needs to be under 1MB. If they do then it's 10MB.

I just tried sending a gif to a friend and it was 5mb and it sent. So maybe the gif is too high on the resolution. How many mb does it say it is?

I'm having the same issue... If i send it to my wife (GS7Edge) before i press send, it's animated... after i hit send, it only sends the screenshot of the gif at the moment i hit send... also when i post to FB, it only posts as a pic. ( sharing from the gallery and posting from FB app and get the same results.)

I'm using Tmobile note 7 and having same issue. I'm using the text messager that came with the Note7. I even lowered the rec resolution but when I send to iPhone or etc it is just a still image. I understand some say it should be lower then 1mb to work but then the gif can only run for about 2 sec...is there another way to reduce file size with effecting the run time and or image?
I really wanted to take advantage of using this gif feature

How did you all change the length of time it records? I only see the 6 second option for the GIF? They are coming out gigantic... I did one test one and it was 20mb!!

Hello, everyone.

Is there a solution? Thank you very much.

I can't even get the phone out of my pocket to answer phone calls!! By the time I get the phone out of pocket it has already managed to cancel our drop the call.
I don't like or want a phone case as the main reason I purchased this S7 EDGE was for its looks.

There isn't much you can do to tone down the sensitivity of the screen. The only thing I can think of is getting some sort of thick plastic screen protector.

Go to settings- accessibility and find one hand mode and toggle it off. It should help especially with answering calls.

Thank you, I found "single tap mode" for answering or rejecting calls and have disabled that.....Will see if that helps me.

Gear fit 2 and v20 set up???

A lot of us came from the Note7 and have the gear fit 2, has anyone set it up on the v20 and if so could you post a tutorial here? Or better yet make a how to thread in the news and guides section. My problem here is I only have one hand atm because of a recent surgery and in not sure I want to open this box if its a pain in the butt. This way I can sell the watch easier if I'm not so moved to set it up! lol thanks in advanced.

You download Samsung gear app. When you open it it will have you download 2 other plugins. You will have to download SHealth if you want too. I already set up my Gear S2 classic.

Will the Lg fit app work with it or is the s health app best? I appreciate your help!

No the LG app will not work with SHealth. You need to download the Samsung one in order to use those features.

Awesome to hear the app can be downloaded on the LG. I was asking myself the same question as the OP before I seen this thread.

Is there any place where all the different health apps are compared? We got SHealth, LG Fit, Google Fit... never mind dedicated apps like Runkeeper vs Runtastic (I don't know the difference between those either, except that I have used Runkeeper and not Runtastic).
I don't mind manually entering stuff. I don't really trust the calorie estimates on my Gear Fit 2, and I only use it to track steps, something I don't necessarily need aggregated. If I did need it aggregated, of course, I could probably be bothered to enter it manually if one app was markedly better.
I feel like all I'm seeing right now are just "22 best fitness apps" and they don't really care about apples-to-apples comparisons, even.

I don't use them so I wouldnt know. I just installed it to ensure it works lol

I get my cast off tomorrow and it'll be replaced by manageable brace so I'll set it up and check it out! You helped me decide to keep it. Thanks for helping out!

No problem. A lot of people were wondering. I have the Gear S2 classic, but I assume all Gear S2 would support the same thing since they are all the same OS and stuff.

We have Gear Fit 2's and got our V20's last night and in no time at all got them setup with no issues.

What csc do you use?

His device is Snapdragon right? American carrier? Settings will be different.

I can't find it either. I got so excited for a second. What sound setting has the 3 dots that you have to click?

You have to select "Volume" and then you will see the 3 dot menu.

I don't have it on BTU official... (3 dots menu)

Guess I wasn't clear:
Settings>Sounds And Vibration>Volume
3 dot menu
Media volume limiter
This is on official T-Mobile Nougat

On my g935f on dqb7 latest doesn't have option but my wife's sd820 with official att new 7.0 update has it

Is the volume warning still there? I am not on this phone right now but thinking about getting the S8 but if this warning is still there I won't consider it.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Its an EU Directive that all audio devices with headphones must have a limit of 85dB with a visual override allowed to increase this to 100dB. Thus means if you have no screen then its stuck at 85dB. I cant name the actual directive but here is a BBC link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-21294537
This is the reason why the setting isnt available in the EU as this prompt MUST be made under the regulations. They did allow some leeway though by saying this prompt is only required once per reboot. I have my phone auto-reboot once a week so i only have to accept the prompt once on a Monday morning and i never see it again for a week
If you have root theres probably a system file you could modify on reboot to pretend you have already confirmed the prompt but i dont know where you could start for that.
Also, maybe you could use tasker to set the volume high and then confirm the prompt for you on reboot. I dont know enough about tasker to do this personally but automation is the whole purpose of the app so im sure its possible.

It has to be if you live in the EU. Its part of EU law. If your in the UK like me, even though we are leaving the EU, this is one of those laws which im sure the UK will keep so don't expect it disappear anytime soon
