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 Touch to configure your phone to require a pattern, PIN, or
password to unlock your screen. This setting is replaced with some of the other
settings described in this section once you set a screen lock.
Set unlock pattern Opens a set of screens that guide you through drawing a
screen unlock pattern, as described in “Locking your screen” on page 42.
Change unlock pattern When an unlock pattern is set, opens a set of screens
you can use to change the unlock pattern.
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 unlock PIN Opens a set of screens for setting a numeric PIN you must enter
to unlock your screen, as described in “Locking your screen” on page 42.
Change unlock PIN When a screen lock PIN is set, opens a set of screens you
can use to change PIN.
Set unlock password Opens a set of screens for setting a password you must
enter to unlock your screen, as described in “Locking your screen” on page 42.
