Im tring to change my xoom password from the pattern one to the pin, but I just cant find the option on the location security menu. Do I have to reset the device?
View 4 RepliesI am new to Android having just bought an S5, previously I had a Nokia Lumia. I wanted to set up some form of encryption for obvious reasons, and I am sure I just had to set up a password - now I have realised that there are other methods such as the pattern or pin, which I would prefer, but it will not let me click to change to any of the other options.

View 3 Replies View RelatedThe upgrade to Gingerbread has been seamless aside from one issue that has recently popped up. I prefer that the only screen lock on my phone is the slider, but suddenly this option has gone away. When I hit the lock button, I expect that my phone's screen will go off and in order to turn it back on, I need to hit the lock button again and slide to unlock it. I do not want to enter a pattern, a pin, or a password. In order to get the slide lock to consistently show up after hitting the lock button, I need to add a pattern, pin or password. The slide lock will show up, but I also have to enter the pattern, pin or password after unlocking with the slide lock if the security lock timer setting has elapsed.

How do i get the phone to offer both options again also why have i got to be signed in to g mail on the pc for the phone to accept the password?
I am from Canada and purchased a USA Verizon Xoom 3G. Bell and Telus seem to run on the exact same network, but I am unable to get things up and running with them as the Xoom just cant "activate". The neetwork providers are asking if there is a way to change the APN setting in the Xoom as it appears to be searching for the Verizon Network.How can you do this as my Xoom only has a Home/Automatic setting under Mobile. There does not appear to be any manual setting

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have four different users of my Xoom tablet in the house, and we each have a gmail account. How can I password-protect each one so that each person only has access to their mail, and not everyone else's?I was thinking an application password app would help, but there's just the one GMail app to protect ... not the individual accounts connected to the app.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have just got myself an XOOM 3G, from Saturn electronics here in Germany. This is an device witout contract, and I am using it with my O2 data contract for 3G connectivity.
I was expecting that I would be able to change the OS language from the Standarad German to English... Huummph it seems not to be the case.
It looks like from my investigations that I will need to reinstall the Android OS, because The only language in German android in German SO my question is where do I find the download of the version of Android that has English as a selectable language? BTW the device's current OS level is H.6.3-25-9
I haven't seen this one discussed in a long time - speed of change versus the iFruit. I remember way back at the start of the year we basically concluded that the slow change from Landscape to Portrait and back was due to Honeycomb - some delay setting in SW. I was just at Best Buy and was able to compare the Xoom and Asus Transformer side by side. It's pretty evident that the Transformer switches a bit faster than the Xoom. So I am wondering if it is actually a hardware difference.Why is the change speed important? Well my theory (watching people compare all the tablets to the iPad) is that the iPad comes across as a much more polished device. The delay on the Android tablets make them look inferior.(BTW - was at BB to check out the Kindle Fire. Have it on pre-order to give as a birthday gift. I was considering to cancel the order, but based on playing with it, I think it will sufice)

View 1 Replies View RelatedPicking it up this morning I tried entering my security PIN only to find the numbers weren't registering. The problem? My finger holding the device - while not touching the screen area - was too close and was activating multitouch. Moving my finger out of the way solved the problem though my grip slips away and the device starts to fall out of my hands.
I can't be the only one that finds this tablet hard to hold. And the best part is, there's an easy remedy to the situation: give us the option to change the active screen area (e.g. shrink it by a certain number of pixels in order to give us more room to hold it). Even without changing anything else in Honeycomb this is still doable, yet I fear it will never become a reality.
Am I the only one who wants to see them let us shrink the touchable area of the screen so we can hold it better?
I recently tried changing my MotoCast password to get to use the MotoActV app on my phone but somehow i've managed to lose what the new password is. I've given up on MotoActV now.
When I try to log into motocast on my droid razr, it says password invalid. If I try a few times it eventually says my account is now locked. Customer service really was no help but it is locked out for about 24 hours.
So 2 days later I go to the motocast site that allows me to change my password by sending me an email with a link to reset my password. The problem is the link goes to a blank page, thus not allowing me to change my password. My MotoCast program on my PC opens and seems to run by saying i'm logged on but using that program to reset my password takes me to the same page that sends me an email. This is the beginning of the email link to reset my password, does anyone see anything wrong with it (i've changed the pkey for security reasons in this email and left off the email part)?[url]...
Is it possible to change the password on a ZumoCast account?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been using the pattern screen lock since I got my mopho in november. It's been working smoothly until now. I recently decided to change it, so I go to settings put in a new pattern and confirm it no problem. I locked it to try it out and now when I press on the first circle it doesn't light up and it doesn't show a trail behind it. The screen also shuts off in 3 seconds. Now I can't unlock my phone. I'm not running any lockers or launchers just stock android. I searched google and these forums for lock screen bugs but I haven't found anything similar to my situation.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI finally figured out why the pattern screen unlock is getting grayed out on my A2. I am using corporate email to fetch webmail from ky.gov. Tried a couple of "fixes" but every time re-setup the corporate, the pattern screen lock goes away. Is there a way around this? I tried setting up the webmail a different way, but that won't get the email. Since losing the fingerprint scanner, I really became partial to the pattern lock/unlock.

Right now I have PIN and Fingerprint setup.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo you turn on the X2, you have the green tab that you move to the right to access your home screen. I also have a security lock pattern that I use to unlock access. Is there a way to eliminate the standard unlock feature, so that I don't have to go thru 2 unlock screens to get to the homescreen? On my original Droid, once I programmed the lock pattern in, the standard one went away; not so with this one.
View 1 Replies View RelatedEver since the ICS update, whenever I select a text or something in the notification bar it asks me to enter my lock screen pattern. I use an app called no lock so it's easy to turn off when I'm at home and don't need the security. When I have the locking turned off and turn the screen off and on it doesn't ask for the pattern like it shouldn't. But whenever I select something in the notification bar i have to enter the pattern. I have tried different lock screens but it does it for all but the slide i think.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just switched from a Motorola Droid to a Droid X2. However, the lock screen is giving me issues. If I turn on pattern lock, it still leaves the slide lock activated.
