TheOct039316yI'm sorry about that. Why would your phone wipe all data upon too many failed attempts? Doesn't a failed attempt man that whoever tried to get in didn't succeed?
Also, what phone was it? -
I too am curious which phone wipes data on failed face-unlock attempts. I thought the eyeProducts only did it on pin number failures.
-
How is that even possible i have an iphone too never encountered my phone scanning for faces automatically u must be doing something that have cause your phone to scan multiple times
-
GMR51635606yUh... how is this possible? Doesn't it just reset to you having to enter your password after too many failed FaceID/Iris Scanner attempts?
-
@GMR516 It was a Galaxy S8. Honestly, I'm not sure what had happened. I just knew that I left home with a good working phone, the next I was home and it was completely reset a half hour later.

@electrineer that's a great idea:
Another innovation - look away to reset to default settings.
I think we're on to something. -
@deadPix3l whenever your calendar shows that you won't be near a charger for a long period, or if you actually need you phone for something important, activate batteryConsumptionBooster.

Use GPS elevation to tell if you're on a plane and turn on airplane mode accordingly. Inverse is default obviously, so that you have service up there. Just in case.
Today is a sad day for me.
I lost all of my data today. My phone was in my pocket and the Iris scanner was looking for a face. I guess it did it multiple times because I found that it had completely reset my phone.
I'm pissed mostly because I knew I had some control over when I could have backed up my phone... I could have at least been pushed back a month but now I'm pushed back by a whole year!
That is a fuck ton of time for things to have happened.
I'm just sad right now guys. There was some good stuff that could have been saved.
