Samsung Galaxy S peculiarities #04 – Unlock Pattern
I have got my phone protected with a unlock pattern. Before I can use my phone I have to unlock it by ‘drawing’ a pattern on the screen. This setting is easily enabled on your Samsung Galaxy S’ in settings under ‘Location and Security’:
As I do not want people looking over my shoulder to see the pattern I am drawing I have switched off the ‘Use visible pattern’ option. The weird thing here is that this option only works if you are drawing the pattern correctly. If you draw the pattern incorrectly it will still display the pattern you drew:
Although this does not reveal the correct pattern to anyone looking over my shoulder. It does display to them what the correct pattern approximately looks like! Making it easier to them to guess the correct one. If I switch off ‘Use visible pattern’ it should apply to both correctly and incorrectly drawn patterns.
