SolipsismX,
not that I have a practical use for this, but could you PM me a link about if you have an App name that you have seen work? The engineer side of me is curious how this works. If its not overly expensive and actually works, I'd like to give it a try.
TIA
There are too many to name. I've tried several and they all seem to be accurate. Here is one that is straightforward and free.

Apple should take advantage of this and drip feed some whacko "sounds credible but would be crap in practice" leaks. Then just sit back and let Samsung squeeze into the S6 roadmap.
Sammy's roadmap looks a lot like 1 Infinite Loop as seen from a moving car.
thanks SolipsismX. I'll try to find a paid one with good reviews.
That company has a paid version, too, but I don't think you get anything worth paying for.
The mechanics are pretty simple. It shines the LED light through your finger — remember doing that with a flashlight as a kid? — and uses the camera to see when the image gets darker and lighter which signifies when blood is being pumped though the veins.

thanks for the explanation. sounds interesting. I guess they could take a video.
I have no idea why the Verge mentioned that the S4 had a successful rollout? It wasn't their best and didn't sell well. Does anyone kmow if that's true?
So I'm watching TV tonight and see a Galaxy S4 commercial from Samsung where they're comparing the camera to the 5S. They show the two phones side by side, but with the iPhone the photo they show is in the square format so it doesn't fill up the entire screen and makes the viewing area look incredibly small compared to the S4. God I hate dishonest advertising, :rolleyes:
The other site I visit is like crickets right now, all the commenters that shredded TouchID really have no place to go, they have to sit and take it.
Has anyone written up a detailed explanation of where fingerprint sensors are stored on the GS5? I know Samsung says it's encrypted but I find it curious that none of the tech sites are inquiring further. They certainly did when Touch ID came out. I'll be waiting for these securities firms to try and spoof it, but my guess is I'll be waiting for a long time.

I know exactly what you're saying. But to be fair, ALL advertising is dishonest -- to some degree.
Apple wasn't the first with a fingerprint sensor on a phone, so I don't consider fair to say Samsung copied Apple in this way.
Ah yes, the "but but but Xerox" argument, in another form.
You don't have to be the originator of an idea to be the inspiration for someone who copies you.

so why upgrade
because within a short time it will be FREE!?

Looks like Samsung hasn't toned down the UI bloat: http://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-s5-rom-bit-monster-taking-nearly-8gb-storage

You lost me. Take a video?
Just to, you know create some Applesque buzz.

Dang. Those people are NOT happy! Yikes.
(Not that I blame them.)

Swipe fingerprinting
8 GB ROM
wide bezels
not 64-bit CPU (considered a gimmick by the same people that considered TouchID a gimmick)
The only interesting thing to me is the IP67 water-resistant rating.
Can't wait for the camera comparison to the 5S. The low-light capability of my 5S is fantastic.
