Just curious about what kind of security people use to unlock their phones. I played with the face unlock when I first got the GN but eventually got too impatient. I'm trying to decide if continuing to "Improve face matching" will eventually make it fast almost every time, or if I should just go ahead and switch to pattern or pin.
If you lock your phone, I found face unlock minimize touching the screen and thus less blur on screen
But sometimes I feel face unlock delay my logging into the phone in case I want to do something quick.... I still prefer pattern unlock

I used to have no pin because I like the stock lockscreen and being able to put SMS phone etc in the slide to unlock. Now that aokp has the option for both I use pin and lockscreen. Feels like iPhone lock exactly

I use pattern..but not for security reasons at all. I got tired of pocket dialing people.

Pin. When you think of the personal information on a smartphone it is a little scary. I have droidlost installed for added protection, but I'll only use a pin because anything else is just to insecure. Most pattern locks can be guessed by smudges on the screen in just a few attempts. Face unlock can be cracked with a bad facebook pic.
While face unlock can be hacked with a picture, no one that finds your lost phone is going to know what you look like. I always thought that was an interesting criticism of the face unlock. My friends might be able to hack into my phone, but that's not really who I'm trying to secure it from.
I also used to only use slide, but I have recently become more and more aware of how much information is available to anyone holding my phone. I think identity theft would be pretty easy if I lost it

Yeah, pin and password are the only two that are very secure, but I just use slide. My mentality is, I'd be much more concerned if someone got ahold of my wallet with all my cash, ids, cards, etc, but I don't put a lock on that. I just keep it with me all the time, same as my phone. I've never lost either and don't plan to! But I do have SeekDroid just in case.
Face Unlock, just so that when I get into the homescreen, JuiceDefender has turn on my Data Connection. Oh, and too impress friends too
Face Unlock.
It is much better than nothing and I don't want to key in the PIN every time the screen is locked.
I never carry my own photo with me other than the one on my driver license which I confirmed would not unlock my phone. So I don't see why people say Face Unlock is useless.
I use a pattern, get it wrong and I have a picture of you emailed to me.
I used slide to unlocked before I installed cerberus, might as well use the features.

Actually it would be very easy to find out. Most lockscreens will splash contact information. If you find my phone you will have my name, work phone number, and multiple email addresses. That is at least three ways to google and find pictures for most people. I would argue that this is the most insecure method possible to lock up your device.

I like to use the pattern, but it gets annoying when I'm just sitting at home texting back and forth, as I have to unlock it every single time. I end up turning the security off lol. Sometimes I'm good and turn it back on when I leave the house.

Under security settings click 'Owner info' to turn it on. Shows whatever message you want to the hopefully honest person who finds your phone. Only hitch is that if the phone is plugged in it just says "charging xx%" rather than the message. Don't know if that is a bug or if Google just figured that if your phone is plugged in it is probably not lost.
I'm using a PIN because I installed unlock with WiFi and it requires it. When I'm on a registered WiFi network I just slide to unlock.

The drag up/down (accept/deny call) is really idiotic when the phone is in a pocket, where you have to pull up the phone from the pocket when you get a call. Do anybody have any solution to this problem? are there any alternatives accepting/denying calls?
Yes, this is very frustrating for me also, haven't found a solution though!
Use Lockbot Pro from the market
You can choose from several types of locking screens, and modify them.
Word of advice: get the Pro version, it is much more stable then the free one
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
@fluor: I know a guy that use fluor as nickname...are you from norway by any chance?
Lockbot pro, is a bit lame, it only works intermittently!
I have only tried the free version, and have no intention of trying the paid one, just on the off chance that it may work correctly!!
Surely, a developer would wish to entice someone into paying for their app, by making a trial/free version that actually works!!
What's the bloody point, in making a free app that doesn't work properly, as if I would pay for this rubbish!
HTC should have designed an unlock screen that doesn't hang up your call, simply when you take it out of your pocket, I mean, is it really to much to ask, for a device that costs this much!
It's pretty basic stuff really.... I don't want an elephants ear on a bun, I just don't want to keep hanging up on people when I take my phone out of my bloody pocket!
i also hope for a free app. i see there are a lot when i search for lock, but not sure which actually work.
for the hang up problem, a workaround is to put the phone the other way when you insert it into the pocket, so it picks up instead of hanging up when you pull it up. however it's stupid.

You say Lockbot Pro is lame, but have only tried the free version??
I think you mean the developer is lame if he made an unstable free version?
All I can say is that it works perfectly for me, and I can only recommend it based on my own experience.
I had a few problems with the free version, yes...but I took the chance on the Pro version anyways...after all, what's $1.99 or whatever anyway.
And, now I have a lockscreen that works as I want it
also using lockbot pro now to get rid of the useless lock screen from sense.
but it doesnt solve this prob, as it doesnt lock on incoming calls
I have a workaround for you.
Put your desire in your pocket top first.
Then when you take it out of the pocket, if the screen is pressed, then "gesture" will be the opposite of what is needed to answer the call.
You will do a gesture up instead of down to answer the call. That is how I do it
Pattern unlock is useless too. You still get the slide to answer/reject screen before the pattern thingy comes up.
Is there a way we can solve this with a cooked rom? I'm trying to wait for the 2.2 rom to be ready, but this problem is annoying enough to flash now I think.

No pulling te screen up doesn't do anything, while pulling it up answers it.
I had a htc hero for about 8 months, always had it top down face towards leg.
Use the desire in the same way and never ever had a call in my pants.
I can't believe HTC have made such an elementary mistake.
I ended up buying a flip case for the phone. Solved the problem and protects the phone and screen as well.
Similar Problem
I have a very similar problem.. Because the vibration is so weak I often do not feel the phone go off in my pocket. Due to the warmth of my leg and moving around the phone continuously picks up by itself.
Does anyone else have this problem?
This is very annoying!!!
If I could only choose to answer calls by the hard button, it would solve it.
Has anybody (rooted) tried using the stock lock screen (the horizonal swipe as opposed to vertical), could this solve your problem?

Yes. Search the forum for vanilla/rotary.
has anyone found a simple solution to this? I do put my phone in top first... but this means i am hanging up on people when i don't want to.
I want to be able to pull my phone out of my pocket and check who it is then decide what to do.
This is totally an indulgent thought, I know there are much more pressing things for devs to do but I think this would be a great feature to fit into a rom.
Considering how the phone can identify your face, save it, then use it to verify if it is you that is trying to unlock your phone. There MUST be a way to have it save multiple faces, so say my girlfirend and I would be able to use face unlock to unlock my phone.
the other issues I have with face unlock is that it doesn't work in landscape mode. I feel like it should be able to detect the phone is in landscape mode and still be able to work.
I by no means am a developer but having spent a week now with the device I feel these would be some nice features for the wonderfuly unsecure face unlock
Not a bad idea.
Though... it seems that I can trick face unlock merely by taking a photo of my face with my Xoom and showing it to the GxN.
Oh yea, its def not the most secure lock method but its hella cool and I would love to have more then one face saved
what one do you use i use face unlock because of the speed hby
it varies on the level of security I need. lol
face unlock is sweet but doesnt work in low lighting
pattern is cool but easy for peeking eyes to guess your code (found this out hard way lol)
plus ive got into peoples phones just by looking at the pattern left in the oil on the screen LMAO!
so for me, i use pin more than anything
I went old school with this one. I do not let other people have access to my phone.
Ha yea pattern is easily recognized by a wandering eye and old fashion way works the best

I don't like it that patterns and passwords show buttons changing color or trails in the direction you're tracing. Someone nearby could easily watch what you're doing and figure out your pattern or password/code. Also, I wasn't pleased that when I tried using a very long string of numbers, you were limited to something like seventeen or less. I put something like my drivers license number and social strung together but the phone wouldn't take 21 numbers. The reason I picked such a long number sequence is in case someone was watching me enter my code, I kinda doubt they could follow and memorize such a long string easily; especially if entered quickly.

So what's everyone using for locking or maybe not locking their phone? Currently I haven't been using any security. Tried the fingerprint scanner for a day and it worked pretty good but when I'm out, if my phone isn't in my hand, it's in my pocket. But I know some people live by a secure lock screen. Everyone using the new fingerprint scanner or another method? Just curious.
Just the swipe action here. I'm like you. I never set my phone down. I've had swipe only on every smart phone I've had to far. I did install a PIN lock while I was in Europe for 2 months though.
I was in a car accident two weeks ago. I was a passenger in a car that hit a semi. During the accident, I dropped my phone, however, due to the driver being an idiot, the po po wouldn't allow me to retrieve my phone because they confiscated his car. (I was taken by ambulance.) Needless to say, I had some pictures on there that I would prefer for others not to see. My battery died by the time I got released from the hospital so I couldn't do a remote wipe. I didn't have my phone locked.
Lesson learned, encrypt and lock. LOL Oh, and if you get in the car with a friend, ask to see their license and insurance before getting in the car. Ugh.
I use one myself. There are some cool apps for this. If you value your information then this option is a must.
Yes, I use Tasker to automatically lock my device with a secure password once my watch is not paired with it and remove the password when it is. Got too used to trusted Bluetooth with the Droid MAXX that typing a password every time was bothersome.

Lock Times w/Tasker
I used fingerprint for about 5 days and found it fails too many times. Maybe my fingers are too dry?
You really should have your phone locked, I believe it's more important then screen protectors or cases.
I use PIN lock and Tasker w/Local Password Lock Plug-in
This allows me to set my password to activate at different times depending on what WiFi I'm connected to.
I set at Home WiFi to not lock for a much longer time. I set work for a Mid amount of time. I then have an exit task attached to both that set it to lock at a faster time when away.

I am using fingerprints too, and I'm having problems getting it to register my prints. It usually takes at least 2-3 times, sometimes more to get it to work. I do have a dry skin condition, and I am wondering if the dry skin makes it harder to recognize prints.

yeah I've tried a couple apps to do this but nothing works. Ideally, if I do use a secured lock screen, I'd like to use the fingerprint scanner. So basically when at home, no lock screen. Then as soon as my home wifi disconnects, fingerprint scanner lock screen. Any ideas?

Unfortunately I couldn't find anything in my short time looking. I almost always have my watch, so decided a password was good enough when it disconnects. Let us know if you find anything.
Try SkipLock works great I have it set for when connected to home network, Bluetooth in car or connected to my gear 2 no lock. Otherwise my fingerprint scanner is on.
In the past I rarely used any type of lock screen security, but after trying the fingerprint scanner, I now have that enabled on my phone.
I hate entering a code everytime is turn my phone on. I use "Where's MyDroid" or Cerberus to lock my phone via text message if it's lost or I forget it somewhere. They also take a picture if someone enters the wrong lock code.

I like SkipLock alot so far(doing the 7 day trial). My only question is, how do you get it to use the fingerprint reader instead of a pin/password. Im not seeing that option anywhere. TIA!
I used to always use the pattern lock but grew tired of it and I am very happy we have the fingerprint scanner now. The only thing I need to do is decide whether the Google device wipe & location feature is enough or whether I need another third party app in the event that the phone was lost which has never happened.

You set your fingerprint reader lockscreen with a backup password then open SkipLock and make sure you made SkipLock a admin. Then open the settings in SkipLock type in your password for the lockscreen under the set pin section.
Unless I'm missing the point of smart lock. Pressing the unlock button and/or using your fingerprint takes the same amount of time and effort.

I used for some time smartlock (because Pixel was paired with a smartband), so if it's connected, it was set to unlock in this case without password or fingerprint.
Otherwise, if we use fingerprint it take half second to unlock, so it's almost the same, but each user can decide what is more comfortable for him.

You may need to use gloves or other conditions where you cannot unlock the phone, then smart-lock might be useful. But as you say, in normal condition takes almost the same time.
