Hi everyone
I'm looking for an app that allows multiple password to enter the phone. I would have mine, that unlock the phone like it should, and another that unlock only certain "feature" (just call for example)
Does anyone heard about something like this?
Thanks!

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.
Is there a way to remove the emergency call button on the unlock pattern screen (not the lockscreen) using the leak 2.1 rom? Can't find much on this specifically for the eris when searching.
i would like to know this as well? anybody got any ideas?
I know nothing about the matter at hand, but I do believe it would be illegal. I think phones are required to have "emergency" dialing whenever the phone is password protected in case of emergencies. I have never had a phone that didn't.
I think it would only be illegal if it came without one. >.>
But either way, this sounds like a completely stupid idea.
Let's say someone asked to use my phone, is there a way to set up a phone-only mode where they only have access to the phone dialer?
I know about those App-protector apps that require passwords to open apps, but I'm looking for something else.
It would have to run at init or else someone could bypass by pulling the battery/rebooting the phone. Maybe hijack the emergency dial mode (when launched from the pin input screen) to display the dialer?
I am using the latest CyanogenMod ROM on my Optimus T P509. I use the gesture feature on the CyanogenMod lockscreen to unlock my phone. However, when there is an incoming call and I use the unlock button, the entire phone becomes unlocked so if I ever lost my phone, and an incoming call was answered by the person who found it, they would have access to everything on my phone. Is there a way to answer an incoming call and not allow access to anything else on the phone without first entering a password or gesture? Maybe something like allowing a call to be answered "on top of" the lockscreen like you can do when answering text messages with an app like Handscent? I'm sure there is such a feature in the settings on my phone - but I just can't seem to find it.
Thanks in advance for your help on this.

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.
