As most know OnePlus has added their own Face unlock feature with OOS 5.0.2 Oreo. I'm curious to find:
Are you using it?
If your using it do you like it?
Which do you prefer no Face unlock, Android Face unlock or OOS Face unlock?
How reliable have you found it?
How secure do you feel it is?
For myself, I'm impressed as it is so fast and seems to work under any light conditions with the "Face unlock assistive lighting" option on. I never used the Android version of face unlock so can't really compare. I plan to keep using it with a little more verification that it can't easily be fooled (need access to relatives). During the little time that I've tried this new feature, I'm finding that I don't use the finger print scanner to unlock the phone anymore. I was also surprised that it worked with and without my glasses on, which I was sure would effect this feature.
Yes
Yes
OOS
100% so far
Not sure.
I'm using it. It's working 100% so far but how secure? It's not very secure at all since this is only software and no hardware involved which i believe is need for using it for things like payments. The hardware is whats used i think for the depth and contour of your face so a picture can't be used to unlock the phone.this I think is why OOS version of FaceID or FaceUnlock can't be used for payments. It only works if you're look at it pretty much straight on and if you're looking down or close you eyes, it doesn't accept your face, but as soon as I open my eyes it's instant.
Works like a charm, works with or without glases. Use it as a dayly driver. Didn't try to fool it, maybe someone can try.
it gets the job done very well.......i love it.....as far as recognizing with or without glasses i don't find that to work. amazed how fast it is. i found it to work with the phone tilted away from my face at about 30 degrees to the side. its as secure as i want it to be.......just keep my phone locked for when its not on me.......i dont bother to hide lockscreen notifications anyways.......
It works, but took a selfie with another phone and that picture could open my phone. Not very secure at all. Only for convenience.
Works very well but it's not so useful for me. I mean, thumbnail sensor can be used even without looking at the phone.

Are you using Face unlock or Google's Smart Lock? Since it doesn't unlock with pictures, neither with videos. I have tried both several times as well as my gf

I use Face Unlock since it come out, on ob4. Very Fast! But works only in good light. In a room with low light not that well. Could not unlock until i type the PIN.
Now, on ob5 works even better.
Oos Face Unlock.

Turn on the "Face unlock assistive lighting" option on the OOS Face unlock panel. That option uses the light sensor to turn the lock screen white if the ambient light is too low for OOS Face unlock to work. The white screen generates enough reflective light to let OOS Face unlock function. For me, that resolves the issue you described. The lock screen ONLY turns white if the light is low, so it is actually an elegant solution to the issue you describe.
I use it and it seems to work well - very fast. No idea on security. I'll try not to lose my phone

I see that in ob5. The white screen it's for the phone camera to see my face in the dark. It's even Faster. Works very well in the dark.
Yep,
Or course... I do.
Oos is the first, never tried others.

Looks preety secure, doesn't unlock when my eyes are closed. Tried my image to unlock it & it won't unlock.

I want to know if other people have the same problem. My phones camera has no fill effect. The little lightning bolt icon is to turn on flashlight but on my phone it works as an auto flash effect instead, so it doesnt stay on. This is just for taking pictures, when I record video, the flashlight stays on and it works fine. I bought my phone used and im wondering if its a hardware problem or programed to be like that. Is there anyway to fix this problem, like a CAB file installation, or a rom? I see that the UK hd2 has fill light and an auto, so my guess is that the USA version had the option removed due to the blinding double LEDs, but im not sure, it might just be my phone. Does anyone know?
Mine functions the same way. No fill. I think it's programmed that way. It does take nice pictures though...
Yea it takes real nice photos. Zoom could be better. Ive been trying to fix my flash for some time but i havent found any solutions yet, im hoping someone will reply with an answer.
Thats how its suppose to work. As referenced, FILL flash is used in bright overhead or back light situations to eliminate shadows on subjects. Thats why you have the Auto Flash, Flash On, No Flash. The auto mode will not flash if more then 40% of the metered area is bright enough. It would be great if someone could make a CAB. to turn the light on when you touched the screen to focus in dark situations.
That makes sense. But I think there might be a way to keep it on. Before i bought the phone 4 months ago i looked up some reviews and demonstrations on youtube and it seems that the UK hd2 had the flash on effect. He had an options that said flashlight on and when clicked the light stayed on, ill find the link later. It was the same lightning bolt icon. But at least now i know its not a hardware issue.
Loving my Zuk, or was. I set up the screen lock for fingerprint sensor and it was working great. Recognises my thumb first time every time. Now though I can unlock with just a normal swipe. It doesn't even demand the backup pin number. I went back into settings and it still had the fingerprint setup as the screen lock so I removed it and set it up again and hey presto i was back in action but only for about 10 minutes and it went back to no security at all.
There were 4 small OTA updates today so I am guessing one of these has messed it up. Each update didn't say what it was for
Has anybody else had this issue?
Is working well for me.
Have you added other smartlock event (wifi, location, ecc) that can interfere with the lockscreen and disable it?

My MOTO 360 is in smartlock as a trusted device, don't fully understand what smartlock is to be honest. If I remove it would it affect anything?

Of course!
I have also a smartwatch (LG Urbane) and the watch as a trusted device. When the smartwatch is connected to the phone the lockscreen is always DEACTIVE, even if you have configured a lock screen (PIN, pattern and or fingerprint)
Power off your watch (or set if in airplane mode) to check if lockscreen turns on in the phone

I have just removed my 360 as a trusted device and the screen lock now works perfectly and so I now understand how this works. Many thanks for the advice. I can now stop worrying that I have a faulty device!

I am facing as well to a lockscreen and fingerprint issue.
I used fingerprint to open lockscreen and pattern as secondary. After showing the ZUK to somebody I needed to modify the pattern. From that time I am unable to switch back to fingerprint. Only three opportunities what I have, and no swipe or fingerprint, due to "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage". What accessibility service messes up the fingerprint usage? Do you guys have an idea? All of them are swiched off.

Hi. I'm having some problems with the fingerprint sensor. Is working intermitent or not. I've asked zuk support already but no answer yet. I don't know if it's a software issue or hardware. It's any way to calibrate the sensor? Maybe it's decalibrated? Any help will be usefull. Thank you.
LE I already made a factory reset. No improvement.

I'm using the Zuk since a month, and no problems with the fingerprint at all.
In any occasions, the fingerprint sensor don't detects the finger the first time but at second try.
Since a few days, I'm on CyanogenMod (instead of Cyanogen OS) and I think the sensor is less responsive (sometimes I need to try three times or use the lock pattern).
But if you are with issues using CyanogenOS I think is due to a hardware issue.

Fingerprint actions has been removed by CM a few OTA updates ago.
I hope a kernel developer will add soon, but ZUK has not too much developers
Modded kernel for COS can be found in the other topic about this issue.
The OnePlus 2 sources happen to have a compatible finger print driver with capacitive button support which is currently being checked out for porting to the Chroma kernel.
So don't fret.. The feature can be restored.
iam not able to use my fingerprint lock, it was working well before but now suddenly it is not showing the option in CHOSE LOCK SCREEN- the SWIPE an d FINGER PRINT OPTION IS DISABLED.
how to enable it
Thanks ... I had the same issue & delete credentials in security settings.
I bought zuk z1 3days ago
Why We cannot use fingerprint sensor to lock and unlock the device for both purposes
Having an issue with the fingerprint sensor.....
Works fine but when push notifications(any notifications**) show up on the lock screen ..the sensor gets non responsive...mind u almost impossible to unlock
Have no choice other than security pin
And I Definitely think this is result of All IN ONE Issue
Say like.....1)fingerprint sensor integrated into hone Button, 2)Faulty software patching, 3) Me, adding two or more fingerprints
Any Suggestions from u guys Feels helpful
BTW....Bought the product via Amazon.in
Is there a provision in the ZUK Z1 which let's you interact with the device by simply tapping on the fingerprint sensor except on the lock screen?
If the device is locked and the screen is off too, simply placing my hand on the fingerprint sensor doesn't work. I always have to press on the button to wake the screen first.
Any help?
May sb tell me the modell of the finger print reader of the ZUK Z1? Pls. use AIDA64.

That's part the of custom roms. Fingerprint as home button can be activated by flashing something, you need root. But in the play store you can try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ztc1997.fingerprint2sleep
But it's not that what you need. Without root and a kernel where its implemented its not possible.
Hey my fingerprint was working fine till one day it just started vibrating when I tried to scan it. I tried deleting the saved fingerprints and registered new. I'm not even Able to register new fingerprints. What do I do?
Ok, I'm struggling with this for days and it drives me crazy. After updating to APD1 my fingerprint scanner is much worse and the responsiveness sucks. It used to work well and usually it unlocked the phone on the first try. But I think because of the update it stopped working flawlessly. It doesn't read my finger so well sometimes I need to try few times to unlock the phone. There is also a block for few seconds after the fingerprint is wrongly read. I didn't have this earlier. When I tried to update my fingerprint in settings, the procedure change and now you need to read the fingerprint and take few seconds and repeat. It takes ages to add new finger.
Am I the only one with this problem? I have about 100mails with photos from cerberus because of wrongly read fingerprint.
Or maybe my scanner is broke?

Agreed I have also noticed same issue thought it was just me tho
No problem with mine. It works just as well before the update and I'm on APD1 as well.
No problem with mine as well.
No problem here either after updating to APD1. Same as before. Maybe you should wipe all your fingerprint and record it again.
My wifes s7 is having a problem and she locks herself out alot. My s7e is working amazing. Maybe one fail a day but its my error not the phone.
tapped on #datbombv7EchoRom
it only looks like yours mine is fien too
My fingerprint sensor doesn't seem to be working as when I add a fingerprint it occasionally says 'try againe' at the top of the screen and then won't register my finger print. If it does not do that then it retest eras my finger all the way till the last part and then don't respond or vibrate. How can I solve this issue?
I have the same issue.
Looks like I have the same issue as reported by my wife (I'm currently not in possession of the unit as I'm abroad and it has arrived few days back). She knows how to register as I have the Letv 1s and she was playing with it before.
The symptoms are as you say, no vibration and no detection of the fingerprint.
Can it be from the rom that came with the phone (maybe multilanguage). I can't remember if on 1s I had this problem.
Currently I have emailed the shop and I'm waiting for their reply. If you guys find a fix, please share.

Hi,
For me, the fingerprint scanner is the real weak point of this phone.
If it would have a better one, it would be flawless... except for the lack of development due to LeEco not publishing open source for their devices
And trust me : I've had the OP3 for several days before getting the LeEco. And that fingerprint scanner works as it should and in a blink of an eye you can use your phone !
What I found out is that this fingerprintscanner is really sssslllllooooowwwww....
So press it once, and then put your finger back on for several seconds.
But of course, doing so reduces the nice thing in having a fingerprint scanner as you're done quicker with "screen on" + "pattern/code"...
Really hope that LeEco can improve this... but when I see how they act on their own forums (a representative posts about every 20 days) I am not that optimistic

What version of the software are you using?
The fingerprint sensor has gotta be the worst ever in a mobile device. My phone takes good 5 seconds to unlock. Registering new fingerprints takes ages. Last I heard that this was some qualcomm tech which does scanning of skin layers under the top layer. But right now the technology is big fail.
That fingerprint sensor hardware is beta 1 in our phone. I am sure the new Le Max 3 which is coming out with Snapdragon 823 will not have this issue. They will advertise how the fingerprint is now 100x faster than before and bla bla.

Even my device on 15S unlockes after 5 seconds. The worst sensor and algorithm ever.
Hello guys,
One way to make finger print recognition better : save several time the same finger print.
Not very sexy but it works for me
So as I have arrived home, I've changed the firmware to 015s stock and the fingerprint started to work. Of course it's not ideal as my 1s but at least it's working. It takes about a second to read and unlock... acceptable to be honest. Maybe they will improve with the upgrades because for 1s it had improved within 2-3 firmwares to super fast recognition.

My experiences after several ROM, the international Indian ROM has removed bug.
Recognition really fast, from 10 attempts 8 immediately.
Note!
By the installation Rome should be installed super su with.
The encoding is prevented with it.
i have the same experience here... got my max2 from geekbuying but wont even recognize my fingerprints... so i updated to 5.8 eui from india not the Chinese version and not it works... however it takes one sec to open slower than my honor 5x. ... hope leeco would make it a bit faster considering the new tech it has...
Is there a major difference between the indian rom and the stock chinese rom that has english language? Does the indian rom have english language selection?
Yes the system language is complete into English.
The fingerprint scanner on 5.8.16s is much improved It seems much faster now. There was even an upgrade notice at first boot where it said it would erase my previous prints to upgrade.
Thanks for the update, will try it.

i ve try this rom too..no success...............
On my Redmi 3s the finger print use to log in works on paypal but not in Ebay and on my banking app. It works on iPhone and on nokia 6. I have tried it on Redmi 3s global stable and global developer rom but nothing changed. the banking app developers have taken feedback but I don't think they can do anything as the app shows "tap fingerprint (icon) to use fingerprint log in" and after tapping I get unable to login with fingerprint use password instead error popup.
is there any fix to it Xiaomi forum and bug report since the app introduced the feature couldn't help.
Can you unlock your phone with your fingerprint? What about app lock? Does your fingerprint work for app lock and other functions of the phone?
Yes the fingerprint works fine elsewhere it is just the 2 apps that I have the problem with. On the ebay app the popup asks to place finger on the scanner, when done nothing happens and I have to go back and sign it. On the bank app the pop up says tap fingerprint to use that method to sign in and when I tap screen I get another popup saying fingerprint option is not available use password instead. The 2 apps work fine on the Nokia 6 and iPhone. This eliminates apps being wrongly coded as they have the same path to sign in on the nokia 6( I think atleast the apps are not at fault) what could be the cause and how to work it out. I have tried it on the MIUI global stable versions the last 3 including the current one have the same problem and the global developer rom last 3 have the same issue.
Hmm.. These 2 apps work on the Nokia 6 and iPhone, therefore they should work on the MIUI too? The Nokia 6 is running Android I believe but the iPhone is running iOS. I don't think including the iPhone is a good comparison. Also, in the absence of a comparison with orher phones, have you investigated whether owners of other brand Android phones have experienced similar issues?
Also, everything else works with your fingerprint except these 2 apps yet you think the fingerprint sensor is at fault? Does that sound reasonable?
Based on the above, I am not convinced that it's the fingerprint sensor or MIUI's fault as you seem to make out.

I never said fingerprint is at fault. I am asking how do I fix it. comparing it with other phone like Nokia running android maybe there is something in the MIUI version of the OS that is bothering these 2 apps. and hence the queries.
I really can't say. However, have you compared it with other Android phones except the Nokia? How does it work with, say, this or that Samsung or LG phone. Have you searched the internet? Isn't a comparison based on just one phone kinda sparse?
It's a software issue, I also can't for the longest time use my fingerprints for PayPal login, I tap it and it says fingerprint verified and then just stays on that screen until I quit the app
