Being a part-time online trader and a full time business man on the move, I have always been worried about losing my phone or my information falling into the wrong hands. Not only do I have to keep my information secure, but I also need access to my online trading accounts at a moment’s notice.

While I have been pretty happy with the conventional security that a 4-digit pin code offers (some phones use lock patterns), there have been times where I lost a good opportunity to make a killing on the commodities market because I was unable to access my accounts fast enough due to the security lock and pin code. I recently read that a person unlocks his devices 110 times a day, I probably unlock my phone at least twice than the average.
Recently, I saw a Le 1s advertisement on Flipkart and I learnt that it had fingerprint scanning technology and I saw this as an answer to my prayers. From the little I understand and some quick google reference, I found out that fingerprint identification technology in phones had the answers to all my security concerns. Since no two finger prints are same, the automated authentication biometric of Le 1s allows just its rightful owner to access the phone. Since identification is based on the fingerprint scanner, it also removes the need to remember a password there by providing an accurate and reliable way to unlock the phone.
One interesting feature of Le 1s is that the sensor comes with a 6H hardness anti-scratch mirror that allows the finger print to be read without any issues.
As I tried to unlock my phone, I found the sensor enables both flash recognition and identification accuracy immediately and effectively as promised and it eliminates the need for PIN codes or patterns to be memorised.
Now with quick access to my online trading and banking accounts, I can truly say that I have all information at my fingertips.

I find the current security on the device as being quite limited, and boring.
I was looking for:
1. A screensaver while docked that displays critical information such as a clock, appointments, date, appointments etc, and perhaps a user definable background, slideshow or similar. This is particularly handy while plugged in and sitting on the desktop.
2. Security module for while out and about, and maybe while on the desk, that will require password entry, but will display date, time, appointments, missed calls, unread messages etc on the screen until entered.
3. I was also reading about the remote kill on the pda, for wiping memory and sd card data when receiving an SMS and similar.
So, before I committed to some dodgy pathetic software that says a lot, delivers bugger all, and chews memory and resources, and becomes more fiddly than it is worth, I thought I would ask the gurus opinons on what they use and potentially what they dont use from experience.
A couple I was looking at installing are pocket secure v3, Dockware, and PDAKill.
Comments, feedback, suggestions?
I used to use 1-pass. It's quite nice.

this looks like a good little program haven't tried it yet but did you get it to work on your uni as it sayson the site its not WM5 compatible.
By the way congrats on the little one
scott
Cheers Scott. Like I said, I used to use it, but stopped because it would screw with AE Button Plus, and I'd rather use that then a fancy smancy screensaver
I've never tried it on WM5, so can't comment, although from memory I don't see why it wouldn't work, almost nothing was WM2003 specific. But, they should know.
I found that it was quite hackable as well, to force it to match my colour schemes, but in the end, as I said, it was no great loss, although pretty.

I contacted them and they indicated it wasnt MW5 compatible.
The other one I was waiting for SPB Time, but this also is not WM5 compatible.
Any other suggestions or comments from anybody?
bump....
any more comments, surely others are using screensavers, and or security settings?
or ... are you all just leaving your phones and all confidential information available to theft?
Anybody else using these apps or other alternatives: pocket secure v3, Dockware, and PDAKill
I have recently set lock code, but it requires 4 numbers at minimum, but I would like to use only one or two because it takes too much time to enter four.
Any tips are more than welcome!
I usually don't do this, but I would need this function really badly. If anyone can do this, I am also prepared to pay.
Why don't you better disable the PIN lock?
Setting to 1 number(which is not possible) would be too easy to guess (if you are concerned about security). If you are not, just disable it at Start > Settings > Lock and use the simple slide to unlock.
Well, I don't want disable PIN lock for a reason, because I don't want people to have access to it while I am away.
But then again, when you need phone badly, entering 4 digi numbers is annoying, so I would set only two numbers.
This would be time saver and I doubt they would guess it, even if I would set only one.

you must be joking right? it would only take a maximum of 10 guesses to get into your device if your code is one digit.

In theory, maybe. But I am talking about people I know, and again it's a screen lock code, not main PIN.
Hard to get my point right?

I have a lock applied through my Exchange Server connection and use a one character pin for exactly the same reason as the OP - I realise it's not military grade security but it is a deterrent.
I know PocketShield beta 3.3 has a new PIN lock screen, don't know which is the minimun PIN lenght but you can give it a try...

This is my first Windows phone experience but have tried to run the phone through WDRT which has nothing for the phone. With WPI I was able to switch the 950 to mass storage mode and make a backup. I tried flashing the phone with a similiar .ffu but the app crashes. Windows 7 reports the phone to have a total size of 16.1 gb while WPI says it has 29.1 gb. I'm unable to access many default apps or features like the store or setting and am unable to sign-in to my MS account. I can sign into my wifi though the phone keeps tipping me that I have no connection.
I am able to mess with a bunch of settings with the app zDebugMenu but really don't have much to go on as I haven't found anything related to the product code of this phone. I'm hoping I didn't buy an overpriced paper weight and can get win 10 to run on it. Thanks.
I been gone since about this post and still no responses? It can only be logically concluded then that you Masters of Microsoft phones are still in awe over this rarest of Lumia 950 unicorns. Understandable. Perhaps some of you are of a nefarious spirit and take dark pleasures in the thought of this one of a kind find just sitting there like an over engineered paper weight in the hands of a disparaged Microsoft Phone noob out of his element. Understandable. But for me it has lead to a a sense of desperation and being powerless to finally getting chores done having all but lost the skill to phone procrastination due to the Lumias absence from my daily routine. Not sure how long I can take mobile estranged life. I'm literally learning the long lost ancient ways of floor tile counting during bathroom breaks that our forefathers use to tell us of how hard life was in their days. Please someone for the sake of Billy Gatez tell me what i can do to get you to help me to help myself out of this unholy senseless analog hell. Or Steve Jobs will visit you in your sleep.

Hey EMUI Users,
If you are a Smartphone enthusiast, you might already have known the mechanism behind "Always on Display" and why it is used but if you don't really know about it, let me explain:
"Always on Display is a feature that comes mostly with Premium range Smartphones (including Huawei Smartphones) which enables you to keep your screen on all the time"
Now the question is: "Why would anyone want to turn on their Smartphone Screen all the time? Won't it empty your battery very quickly?"
There are 2 Parts of this questions, the first one is Why would anyone want to Turn on their Smartphone Screen all the time?
The answer to this question is fairly simple, some people don't like to pickup and activate their Smartphone screens to check if they received any new messages, emails and Missed Calls.
Having a screen that let's you know all this information but not too much information is a good thing right?
That is the reason where Always on Display or AOD comes to the rescue as it enables you to see if you have any new notifications so that you might not get distracted all the time by turning on your screen again and again.
Now comes the second part "Turning on the Always on Display can drain your batter very quickly?"
The answer to this question is a bit tricky as although turning on your Smartphone screen for long periods of time does consumes lot of battery but if your Smartphone has an OLED display, it really brings down the battery usages down because it specifically turns on the pixels that are required and the Always On Display takes benefit of this scenario and therefore only turns on essential pixel on your Screen instead of the whole screen to minimize battery usage
How to enable Always on Display on your Smartphone?
First of all you have to make sure that your Huawei Smartphone does contain this feature and contains and OLED display as well.
After confirming these 2 things:
On EMUI 10.0
Go to Settings-> Home screen & wallpaper -> Always On Display
Hey everyone,
I recently bought this Head Unit

I have no idea which machine or launcher it is, as I'm sure it has been rebranded and it's not even a Lenovo.
I wanted to add a pin lock, just in case I leave the car at a Parking facility.
The launcher does not offer access to android settings but I managed to access them after some installed app moved me to some part of the settings. From there, although I think the security options were not visible, I found them using the search feature.
I enabled a simple pin lock, which I am very certain I keyed in correctly, twice.
After rebooting the machine, I cannot get past the pin lock.
The machine boots, steering wheel controls work, but i cannot get past the pin lock.
I sent an email to the local shop, but i don't have high hopes
I do not have the option to bypass the pin by entering gmail passwords, it just keeps letting me try one password every 30sec.
Is there any chance the unit has some pre-defined screen lock that i should try?
From where I stand, i can only erase the unit from "find my phone". Should i go ahead and do it or will it also remove all the installed launcher and apps?
Lastly, can anyone recognize the type of the unit and the name of the launcher, so i can search for more resources?
Thanks in advance for any input
PS.
Here are two photos of my situation, where you can see the pin lock over the launcher:
Hi , I have the same problem.
Did you find a solution yet !
I have used find my device, erased the device remotely and its working fine
good luck
Best regards
Anyone have a solution for this please besides the find my device option (not working for me). I'm locked out of my Lenovo D1 SSX in the exact manner of the OP and am without a solution. Please.
