Location & security settings
Use the Security & location settings to set your preferences for using and sharing
your location when your search for information and use location-aware applications,
such as Maps, and to configure settings that help secure your phone and its data.
Use wireless networks
Check to use information from Wi-Fi and mobile
networks to determine your approximate location, for use in Maps, when you
search, and so on. When you check this option, you’re asked if you consent to
sharing your location anonymously with Google’s location service.
Use GPS satellites
Check to use your phone’s global positioning system
(GPS) satellite receiver to pinpoint your location to within an accuracy as close as
several meters (“street level”). Actual GPS accuracy is dependent on a clear view of
the sky and other factors.
Set unlock pattern
Opens a set of screens that guide you through the
process of drawing a screen unlock pattern, as described in “Locking your screen”
on page 51.
Require pattern
Uncheck to stop requiring an unlock pattern to unlock your
screen. You must draw your current pattern when you uncheck this option.
Use visible pattern
Check to draw lines between the unlock pattern you
draw.
Use tactile feedback
Check to vibrate the phone briefly as you touch each
dot when you draw an unlock pattern.
Set up SIM card lock
<<Not for CDMA>>Opens a screen where you can
configure the phone to require entering the SIM PIN to use the phone, and where
you can change the SIM PIN.
Visible passwords
Check to briefly show each character of passwords as you
enter them, so you can more easily check what you enter.
Use secure credentials
Check to allow applications to access your phone’s
encrypted store of secure certificates and related passwords and other credentials.
You use the credential storage to establish some kinds of VPN connections (see
“Connecting to virtual private networks” on page 68). This setting is dimmed if you
have not yet set a password for the credential storage.
