With the touch screen being such a major part of this phone,there’s an ingenious method of unlocking the phone that lets your fingers do the walking—or,in this case,sliding.
Tap the Application tab,tap Settings,and tap Security & location.We’ll focus on the Screen unlock portion of the list.
First you need to set an unlock pattern,so tap that option.You see an information screen explaining what you need to do,followed by a screen that looks something like figure below:
As the instructional page said,you need to draw a pattern on the screen,connecting the dots. You need to drag through at least four dots;they don’t need to be adjacent.
After you’ve input the pattern once,you’re asked to verify the pattern by doing it again.As soon as all the verifying and confirming are done,you can choose whether to require the pat- tern to unlock the phone.If you don’t,the device is always open.
If you choose to use the pattern,you can choose another option as well.The Use visible pattern option displays feedback on the screen as you’re unlocking your phone.If you uncheck this option,you don’t see the trail that your finger makes as you drag it across the screen. Unchecking this option will prevent anyone who looks over your shoulder from getting a good look at your pattern,but it can also make it harder to enter a complex pattern.
If it was at all tricky to make your pattern,you may not want to uncheck Use visible pattern. You may not be able to unlock your phone again,which leads us to the next section.
