My Friend Bypasses My Phone Every Time by Nobody: 9:45am On May 08, 2018
am using infinix hot 4.any time I lock my phone with any form of security pattern,it gets bypassed by my friend.
I dont know how he does that .I have tried changing patterns and passwords even security question but all to no avail.

even when I use the xhide feature in my phone.he gets to bypass it and access my files and he is been bragging about it..
I am really tired and disappointed.. what should I do?
does it mean that android is that insecure?

Go to your phone settings.. Locate Screen lock(you can use the search button to find it).
Then click on smart lock, it will now take you to the page where you can select other ways to unlock your mobile phone.

Are you trying to bypass your girlfriend's phone or someone else's?

Do you know what fingerprint lock is?

Why don't you use alphanumerics instead of pattern?

Let me guess u are using tecno w3. Sorry that phone is so poor it struggles to upload pictures on nairaland grin grin. Everytime u try to upload it refreshe nairaland. The 1gb of RAM and poor Cpu is not good enough to upload photo most of the times.

What do you mean by it's from encryption? Can you throw more light on this. How does encryption different from the conventional security lock?

when I haven't encrypted my phone yet,there is this master code or anything which he uses to bypass my security details no matter how I choose to lock it(he fails to tell me anyway)..

Now after much research and googling,I came to find out that once any phone is encrypted, it offers more tight security to the phone..I checked my device and it wasn't encrypted. I decided to try out the encryption.
Lo and behold,it worked like magic.. He wasn't able to bypass my security again..

Even when I tried the safe mode method which unlocks every device with password automatically, it still didn't unlock my device..
That's when I knew I have arrived grin cheesy

He is using the smart lock feature of your phone, he has connected his phone with yours so he can unlock your phone with his phone using smart lock via Bluetooth.



Note you can turn on Bluetooth when the phone is locked

Very sensible comment. All that is needed is connect the phone to a bluetooth device like a speaker or headphone and add it to trusted devices. Once the phone is locked just turn on the bluetooth device, then swipe down from lock screen of the phone and turn on bluetooth, once it is connected then phone will be automatically unlocked.
