Samsung Galaxy / Android Smartphone: Activate key lock
Question by Seaman Ulf | 2012-09-27 at 19:59
I got myself the new Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android Smartphone) and would like to set a different key lock than the default one, because the default "lock" (wiping) seems to be very insecure to me.
At other smartphone users, I've seen that you have to enter a code or that you have to connect some points with your finger to unlock the phone. I would like to have one of those key locks, too. Do I need an app for this or is there a setting somewhere?

Indeed, the function is a liitle hard to find, but so it goes:
The default here is "Swipe". You can also select "Pattern" to use the pattern with connecting the points as your key lock, or "PIN" in order to enter a pin or other gadgetries like "Face and voice", "Password" or "Motion".
