Location & security settings

Use the Location & Security settings to set your preferences for using and sharing your location when your search for information and use location-aware applications, such as Maps. You can also configure settings that help secure your phone and its data.

Use wireless networks

Check to use information from Wi-Fi and mobile networks to determine your approximate location, for use in Maps, when you search, and so on. When you check this option, you’re asked whether you consent to sharing your location anonymously with Google’s location service.

Use GPS satellites

Check to use your phone’s global positioning system (GPS) satellite receiver to pinpoint your location to within an accuracy as close as several meters (“street level”). Actual GPS accuracy depends on a clear view of the sky and other factors.

Set up screen lock

See “Screen unlock screen” on page 324. If you have set up a screen lock, this option changes to Change screen lock and allows you to change the way you lock your screen or to turn off screen locking.

Use visible pattern

When an unlock pattern is set, check to draw lines between points in the unlock pattern you draw.

Use tactile feedback

When you have configured a screen lock, check to have the phone vibrate briefly as you touch each dot when you draw an unlock pattern or as you enter the unlock PIN or password.

Set up SIM card lock

Opens a screen where you can configure the phone to require entering the SIM PIN to use the phone, and where you can change the SIM PIN.

Visible passwords

Check to briefly show each character of passwords as you enter them, so that you can see what you enter.
