Default Fingerprint reader lock
Looking for a lock for the dinc2 that is a fingerprint reader, one that really works. I have one on my HP laptop, so I'm wondering if there is one for the phone?

thanks,


RD

What would the phone use to read the fingerprint?

They can do anything they want in films but (currently) on real phones the screen isn't a scanner. It is perhaps possible that the camera could be used, but I don't know that it has that degree of sensitivity. In any case I haven't seen an alternative screen locking software trying it. Are you going for "coolness" or better security?

Default Retinal & biometric scanner
Lol!!!
I saw an app that fakes this randomly...
I forgot the name of it, I will try to find it...

It shows a fingerprint, you press your finger on it, it pretends to scan it and says like print verified, unlocked it also has a fake retinal scanner, that pretends to scan your eye...

How do I "expext"???


I'm sorry, but for a real troll response, you should actually know how to spell words correctly.

How would it work? The screen just has the capability to know if it's been touched for not. How would you use that to get a fingerprint?

So the guy that thinks that the screen can actually scan fingerprints is going to correct my spelling?

Red face fingerprint unlock
In order for the fingerprint unlock to work it would have to be connected to the device via the USB port with some kind of peripheral biometric scanner.
Or the biometric fingerprint scanner would have to be built in to the phone, like just under the corner of the screen on the bezel with a section dedicated to scan.
I guess...

There are phones with a fingerprint reader built in....the Incredible 2 just isn't one of them.

I was leaning toward saying that the Atrix 4G had that feature, you just confirmed it.

I have no idea how it's supposed to work, and I really didn't care. I was just wondering if there was an app available. Other than the "fake" app, I'm guessing no. thanks all!
