Until this article, I completely forgot about Face Unlock on my Galaxy Nexus. Before I got it, I thought I would use it to replace a PIN or swipe to unlock. Turns out it sucks and I stopped using it after a day.

The only thing I use the front-facing camera for is when I let my almost-3-year-old son play around with it. He loves checking himself out, the little narcissist.

I don’t have enough friends with a front facing camera Although i just gave my brother my old xperia play, and my mom just got a razr maxx. As more people get front facing camera’s, i’d like to think i’ll use it more.

I use it as a “mirror”. It’s a good tool for making sure I don’t have any nose bats before a meeting.

If you have 4G coverage… it’s better then calling over the phone.(at least since they fixed the bugs in Skype) I currently use it on occation but will use it constantly over the summer to talk to my wife and kids that will be away.

I use it to see if I remembered to brush my hair (mostly forget to do so before I head out). Seriously though, it is beneficial to have and I’m glad to have it.

> The feedback was actually interesting, with a majority 34%

A majority is 34%????

Would “5%” also be considered a “majority”?

(Droid-life just get worse and worse.)

I use it all the time. Especially when I get drunk with some friends. Just add a face morph and start recording your video. Makes for some funny moments

I would use it more if people I knew used video chat. For now, I use it very rarely.

Skype and Google Talk have their merits when you’re away from your significant other. I’m not so sure I’d want to try anything from the Google+ app, though – you don’t want to include the wrong people in the hangout or messenger convo…
