Hi all,
I'm new to XDA's, I just received my Siemens SX56 via Ebay (Rogers AT&T doesn't sell them anymore in Ontario Canada?!?!) and am looking to secure use on it.
Basically, I don't want anyone to receive calls or SMS messages on the device except for myself. I am wondering if there's an easy way to secure it while it's on, so that someone should need to enter a key/button sequence or password in order to answer a call or access the desktop.
Any thoughts? I tried to search a bit in here for similar entries but came up with nothing.
if you set the password then they cant access the device and read sms
still think you can answer a call though
prob because it would result in alot of missed calls if people had to typs in their password after getting the device up from their deepest pocket

I'm now finding that I get an air balloon type popup even through the password screen showing my text message (SMS) that's come in. Anyone know how to mod the settings or the device so that this doesn't happen? I get a lot of sensitive type sms text messages that I can't afford to have seen by unauthorized people...
Any help is appreciated!

sms are sent clear text through the networks so are unsuitable for anything confidential., so a lot of unautorised peeps are alredady seeing your stuff.

better set it up in your notification not to display the message after receiving the sms.
When I get another incoming phone call I get a audible beep like I should , however the phone applet does not show the incoming caller number or anything, until I put the person I am talking to on hold. Then it shows up in the phone applet and then I have to press switch to talk to them. This sucks butt!!! Can anyone point me to a fix for this? I would be greatfull.
Thanks,
Mikee
i would like to know the same thing
Hey guys, I was wondering if there is anyone else experiecing this problem.
Recently whenever I receive a call, now the Call Display screen is not full. Now what comes up is the Top Part of the Blink feed Screen. The part that shows Time and Weather and below comes up the caller ID and number calling. This never used to happened before. When someone called it always showed full screen of a call, for example Pic of person calling.
I checked all my settings and dont see anywhere that shows how to fix. Not sure if this a bug or something.
I am running Stock and on Kitkat.
I also tried disabling BlinkFeed and it still happens.
Any suggestions
Thanks

My HOX+ is always locked and I use a pattern to unlock it. Yesterday I call unintentionally 911 because of the friction in my pocket (i guess). It's the second time it happens to me. It too easy to make unintentional emergency call in my opinion.
Do you guys know a way to change de 911 emergency contact from the lock screen to something else (like "555" or "12345" ... or anything else to prevent calling 911) ?

I don't think that's possible. I never had such issues in years.
Sent from my One X+ using XDA Free mobile app
This is the first time I see such a question, congrats .
I think you should try a lockscreen replace app which supports pattern as a method of unlock.
Hi everyone,
a friend of mine has an Elephone device - I don't know which one, but it's running Lollipop.
She said she once activated the feature, that would detect when she's receiving a call and places the phone by her cheek (as you would do when speaking on the phone) and thus the phone would automatically pick up. I guess it has something to do with the proximity sensor or so?
Anywho, this "feature" isn't working properly, so the phone keeps answering calls while it's in her purse.
I checked all the settings menus and also the phone-app settings, but couldn't find anything to deactivate this.
Can someone help me? Thank in advance!
