Screen Lock
: Create a pattern you will be asked to draw before your screen will unlock. You can select to make the pattern
visible or invisible as you draw it.
Slide provides no protection, but lets you get to the Home screen quickly, or open Camera and start.
Face Unlock lets you unlock your phone by looking at it. This is the least secure lock option.
Voice unlock lets you unlock your phone using your voice. This is somewhat more securing than face unlock but not as much
as pattern or password lock
Pattern lets you draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock the phone. This is slightly more secure than Face Unlock.
PIN requires four or more numbers. Longer PINs tend to be more secure.
Password requires four or more letters or numbers. This is the most secure option, as long as you create a strong password.
Owner info
: The information of the owner can be stored and then can be displayed on the lock screen.
Encrypt iBall Slide:
Android includes a system encryption feature that encrypts all data
–
including application data,
downloaded files, and everything else
–
on your phone or tablet. You‟ll have to enter your PIN or password each time you turn
on your phone
. Encryption stores your phone‟s data in an unreadab
le, seemingly scrambled form. When you power on your
phone, you‟ll have to enter the encryption PIN or password, which is the same as your phone‟s lock
-screen PIN or password.
Your phone uses your PIN or password to decrypt your data, making it understanda
ble. If someone doesn‟t know the
encryption PIN or password, they can‟t access your data.
Note: -
Before you enable encryption, be aware that there are some drawbacks:
Slower Performance
:
Encryption always adds some overhead, so your device will be a bit slower. The actual speed
decrease depends on your phone‟s hardware
.
Encryption is One-Way Only
:
After encrypting your device‟s storage, you can only disable encryption by resetting your
phone to its factory default settings. This will also erase all the dat
a stored on your phone, so you‟ll have to set it up from
scratch.
