Not just the auto keyguard thing but lock it so that you need to enter a code to access the phone?

Work phones dont count.

I don’t, I know I should.

Nope, the keypad locks itself after a period of inactivity, but I've not put a code on it.

The number of numpties that forget codes they put on their phones/forget to tell people to whom they give/sell the phone these codes is incredible.

Nah i dont lock it, maybe i should but i dont know what good it does.

I have a password on my laptop and it got stolen and well it had a password on it but i still dont have the laptop. All it does is delay the thief from using it for a bit.

Nah. Don't believe in it.

If everyone locked thier phones then I wouldn't have one.

I haven't in the past but I just got a HTC Desire, the first phone I've had designed for the net etc, and because it's possible to save passwords to websites etc I will be putting a lock on it. I just got it last night.

It stops your other half from nosing about the stuff in your phone when you're sleeping. Provided you've turned it off, of course. :cool2:

I lock mine as a matter of habit.
More because it allows direct access to my work email/desktop etc.

However, had I been aware of the risk of being fraped then I would have locked it immediately.

Frankly, the concept of being fraped an acceptable number of times is one I cannot grasp.

I tend to automatically lock the keyboard when I put it down/in my pocket etc. It then password locks itself when it has been idle for a spell. The password lock is only in case it's stolen.

Facebook raped.

You leave yourself logged in to facebook on a computer or phone and someone you know posts something ridiculous pretending to be you.
