Before requesting some software i wanted to ask you guys if there was any software out there.

From reading the request guidence notes, i think i am right in asking about sofware in this section first, so here goes, if wrong i do apologise.

I am after some sort of finger recognition software for the HTC Touch HD if there is anything out there.

I hope someone can shed some light on it as this would be a very cool security feature and a nice show off feature for phone.

Thanks in advance

There's a reason a predefined template is inserted so don't remove it and post your own content ;)

Some sort of security feature. Touch the screen to unlock and only the person designated can unlock it. It recognises your print only.

This would be a really cool feature, however there's nothing of this sort as of now unfortunately. Theoretically, the only way it'd be possible would be through the camera and i don't think the current WM phone cameras can handle it just yet.

Well since Touch HD does not have a fingerprint sensor you're not able to read print data from your finger. The touchscreen doesn't work this way (too low resolution and it's not multitouch I think) and camerasoftware is not possible, since it would have to be a superior lens to read your fingerprints well enough (and a flashdiode perhaps, to provide a stable light).
Long story short: no, it's not possible on your device so far. Stick with the S2U-kind of programs or there's another one wich name I sadly forgot that lets you set a combination of pressed areas on your touchscreen in order to unlock it.

A voice recognition command to unlock it would be possible too. Not sure if any of existing lock software has this function tho...

My iPaq 5450, 5550 and HX2790 have finger print recognition. It's a security option to unlock the device when you swipe your finger slowly across the reader and it recognises your finger print. ok, I can see your dirty minds thinking you could steal an iPaq-owning user's valuable data by using his finger while he is sleeping... (yes, there is more happening beside Rohypnol-rape!), but!... The trick is to tell nobody which finger you use to unlock your device. Haha! Can you try them all before the device's owner gets awake? And what about those using toes to unlock the device? Toes? Very sensitive!... No way you can un-shoe, un-sock and sweep someone's toes one by one on the iPaq sensor without waking him/her up... Makes me think: I never tried that with my tongue... Are tongues unique? Do there exist something like a digital "tongue print". Doesn't the FBI use that to find out who posted a letter by investigating the back of the stamp on bomb letters?... (Oo... Nothing difficult about that as generally half of the tongue is till attached to it, as they tend to explode at the wrong moment...) So, would it be possible to make a mobile you have to actually "lick" before it switches on? Bwaark... Let's hope you are the only user of that device... Ow, what about lips? Wouldn't that be wonderful you could unlock your device with a simple kiss? Wonderful, romantic and simple? Hum... "simple"... What about your device is a difficult one? Complicated? Like a woman? What if it needs a "sensual" kiss to get unlocked... Like a real woman... What if it can sense if your kiss is passionate, full off temper... and not a quick one while having your mind on another woman, err... device... What if your device thinks you're not a good kisser? Change device? Have some practice first? With other devices? What if you have to buy your device depending on it likes the way you kiss? Until now the richest men always got the most beautiful girls... (unless they do services on PPCwarez...) but you don't have to be rich any more to get the most performing device... (Women judge a man on the way he kisses!) And when you get drunk, or had some garlic-rich food... will it still like your kisses? What happens when you get a burned lip after drinking hot soup? Or your wife punched you as she suspected you to think about somebody else, causing you to have a swollen lip?... What about you didn't shave that morning... Will it still recognise your kiss? Could you call "technical services" to send someone over to unlock your device? "Sir, please send me someone" - "sure, does he need special skills?" - "Nono, just make sure he's a good kisser..." Heh... What if your device falls in love with someone else? Imagine you have to ask your colleague at work to give a kiss on your device to unlock it for you? Ow ow ow... and if your device acts like a woman that wants passionate and tender kisses to get unlocked... are you sure you would store your valuable information on that device? Would you entrust to store your contacts, addresses... your agenda and eventually your diary to it? What about girls/women names?... Ever seen a woman that's not jealous? Imagine what she can do with that information... What if your device sends secretly an email to all your "female" address saying "your guy just unlocked me with a warm, passionate and gorgeous kiss..." - which wouldn't be a lie after all - and "He does that every morning to wake me up..."( also true)?... Aaargh.... Are you sure your key will still fit the lock of your front door when you come home after work?

Or do you also have a front door on your house that doesn't need a key but unlocks by kissing it? Do you know the story about the man that came home and kissed his door to open it while it was freezing cold and he got stuck with his lips? They had to wait until spring and... ow, do I talk too much? Is there a "number of characters" limit on this post? omg... But... it's an interesting story because it got the Guinness record book involved and fire workers and lipstick manufacturers... and also the police because his device got stolen while he... ok... maybe I will tell that next year... :roll: (Still... now you know why you have to put high-voltage on your doors to keep out the "kissing burglars".... shshsh... )

Haha! I just wanted to turn on my device to play my favourite game and it whispered to me with a sensual voice... "kiss me first..." :shock: How does she know that is exactly my favourite game!!??

Happy New Year!!!
