The pattern lock? You should be able to still get in with your gmail acct and password if you forget your pattern.

Thanks actually I just figured it out. But thanks ill remember that if i ever forget again

Especially if you double over already activated terminals while you set it, and they don't work when trying to unlock the phone.

mess up so many times that it asks you for your gmail password, then lets you change the pattern lock.

Thanks!

I'm assuming you are talking about your main Google account. If so, the only way is to hard reset the phone.

I believe that the person who pays the bill's name will be there. I'm the third line and my phone identity under his name since he pays the bill. I'm not sure if that's what you were wondering. I do not know if the name can be changed though.

Unfortunately I don't believe there is anyway to pick and choose.
You can set it to sync with existing contacts but that's about it.
Part of why google was talking about dropping support

Why does it matter to you??
Anyways op, if I wanted to hide contacts. I'd probably save the contacts to the sim card or to a second gmail account and in the contacts app I would hit menu>Contacts to display and just select to display my main gmail account contacts and not the ones in the sim or secondary Gmail

What exactly is your purpose in hiding the contacts? Is it because you are sneaking around on a loved one? Or is it for guilty pleasures like dominos pizza hotline? Maybe even you setup your voicemail as a contact so you can easilly dial it.
An all around solution would be to use a "vault" application. Vault hide is pretty good.
I think it is because a lot of contacts from his Gmail account or fb is showing up so he's trying to hide them?. Or he's a slut. Probably the latter

If you just want to hide some contacts in order not to have them in your list, I'd suggest the configuration of the preinstalled contacts App. But if there are contacts, you want to keep "secret" give "Hide it" a try. It pretends to be an Audiomanager, but you can access a hidden vault by typing in a code. In this vault you can store pics, Videos, texts, contact, etc

ALL - wow, so judgmental...
OP - I hide contacts frequently because I sync my office/exchange contacts but don't care to see them on my personal phone on the weekends...
solution: stock contacts app allows for viewing certain groups - if you really need contacts 'invisible' under passcode on your phone, there are third party apps to do that, or set them on your sim with a sim lock password or on you samsung account online or elsewhere...

I have fb contacts I don't want/need on my phone (in main contacts), so I searched and found the answer in another thread. Works, so I'm happy
