*I locked it so that i can see the picture of those trying to guess my pattern and pin.
*I have to locked it up so that when it got stolen, i will be able to track, trigger an alert on the phone, automatically listen to voices nearby and silently capture pictures of the thief(ves) which will be sent to my mail or upload to cloud.
Never knew thats possible, is there an app which does that?

Your submission doesn't hold water.
*I kept my phone locked because i dont want authorised use of my phone.
*I kept it locked because one day(God forbid) the phone might got stolen and the only way to make sure i rendered it useless is to lock it up and if by virtue of technology they bypass the security, i only have to remotely send a command to erase all my data on the phone.
*I locked it because you don't have ANY business going through my Text messages, Emails, Bank Apps, Social media handles(FB,WS,TW,WP,2Go,Messenger,IMO etc), Psiphone etc. You can go through the gallery since i have nothing to hide.
*I have to locked it so every dick and harry won't have assess to what doesn't concern them.
*I locked it so that i can see the picture of those trying to guess my pattern and pin.

What is this one saying? I'm sure it's what they taught you in Sunday school that people should not put lock on their phones. Please this is early 2016, so wake up and put all these nazi morality behind you.

If you know you arent going to do something bad with someone's else's phone, i see no reason why asking them to open it for should be a problem.
That said, I lock my phone to avoid unauthorised access. For crying out loud its iphone and not usphone.

Simply keep your phone out of reach of children...
Easier said than done.

So when you are cooking or washing, isnt your phone normally on a table or counter? children between 7-14 can reach tables and do nonsense with your phone.

When you doze off on your couch from watching TV, also?


If you have or live with children, you'd understand.

OP, its like u jst started using a phone, if not, u will know its not the issue of trust bt protection. Have u ever had ur phone accidentally formated by a novice? ur crdt used without ur permission? Ur pix or ur wife/babe's pix copied n used for negative activities which u don't approved of? Answer dis questions first b4 i continue lecturing u on why you should lock down ur phone.
you killed it. God bless you man

I lock my phone because it is my phone period.
Re: don't trust people that locks their phones by Cityguy: 11:24pm On Jan 20, 2016
The feeling is mutual. If I trust you, I wouldn't lock my phone. It's because I know you can't keep your nose where it belongs.
Re: don't trust people that locks their phones by walezy14(m): 11:36pm On Jan 20, 2016
I think the proper question is that " is it good for married couples to lock their phones and keep the password secret from each other.
Re: don't trust people that locks their phones by hismond(m): 11:56pm On Jan 20, 2016

Re: don't trust people that locks their phones by miomio(f): 10:06am On Jan 21, 2016
when you live in a house with kids you would have no choice than to lock because they can send random calls and wast ur airtime+delete important files and contacts. so bfor you lose trust for a phone locker try to ascertain why they lock.

@ THEconqueror @ Usmanspihn, any android phone can do that as far as the version is nothing less than Android 4.4 kitkat. Though, i make use of Snokor rocket phone with version.5 lollipop for this.
@ Fraihn @ Justiceotuya, there are so many "good" apps that can perform this functions. But, i used "CM Security, Privacy Guard and CM locker"-- all these apps can perform these functions. Apart from that, these apps will captures any intruder/unwanted troll trying to break into your phone and saved the picture(s) on your gallery or can additionally upload that to your Gmail. I set my own to capture their faces(that's if your phone has front camera) after trying to unlock the pattern or pin unsuccessfully thrice. EVEN IF THEY CHANGED /REMOVE MY SIM(S) FROM THE PHONE, THE APP WILL SEND A TEXT MESSAGE NOTIFYING OF SIM CHANGE AND ADVISE I lock,erase,alert or locate it.
Also, it can trigger an alarm no matter the level of volume of the phone that time. With just sending the command #alert from one of the number i used for such emergency, it trigger the phone to shout out a siren-like alarm. This can be used immediately a phone got lost and around such vicinity.
I was able to track the location of my phone with these same apps. Just find them on Playstore. Lemme keep it brief.
Goodluck. Any question, quote me.
I agree with you a 100%

I have been away while you guys were yanking your spleens.
What just happened in this thread was an experiment to prove a theory I was working on The kind of post that makes it to front page and it did work out well.
Sorry for offending you though.
