I have a Samsung Galaxy s4, and I have never locked it where it requires a pin, pattern or password….just the swipe when opening up the phone.
I will be traveling to Europe in a week and thought it wise to lock my phone in case it gets lost or stolen, so yesterday I set it up to require a PIN after 10 minutes of no use.
It worked as expected all day, but then early this morning (around 1 am), I put in the PIN several times CORRECTLY, but kept getting the answer "Incorrect PIN." Finally, I restarted the phone. Once it restarted, I put in the PIN again and it worked fine. I then removed any type of Lock Screen.
After reading online about people having nightmares of not being able to use their phone and having to factory reset it, I am afraid to put on a lock screen. If something happens in Europe, I will not be near a PC to research how to fix it, etc. Besides, I have most of our itinerary stored in the TripIt app and can't afford to lose that info.
Has anyone else had this problem? Do you have any suggestions what to do to secure my phone without going through what I did? I did travel to Europe last year without locking my phone and things were ok. My phone is rarely out of my hand or off my person, but I do want the information in it to remain safe.
