Hair line scratches right? Hmm yeah differs from person to person the way they use.

some one tried too many attempts on pattern lock and the phone is locked now and asking for google account to log in. My wifi/data is disabled and usb debugging as well.
It does not sign in using my current google account details.
Its all stucked now.

Connect to a wifi and enter your google details? blink.gif

Better than wiping device

Ah yea, didn't consider that. Shoot this is a weird system to bypass the lock thingie. Y don't they use credentials stored in phone; y need to connect pula x.x

Maybe give it a go? Nothing to lose right, shoving another sim and see if data miraculously turns on laugh.gif

^buggy? It's not a bug, that's what will happen when someone steals your phone. Wiping the phone of all data is the security mechanism. You wouldn't want a thief to bypass a security lock that easily, would you?

It's a flaw imo. That's the point of the google login, backup mechanism ma. Weird that you actually need data for it, should take the credentials u store when u add the account to your phone

that would create issue where ppl can retrieve the account from your phone and login

As in when the phone is locked out, prompt for gmail should be matched against what is already stored in the phone ma, no? Rather than contacting server.

Or to do that would expose the sensitive data? Don't see how wo, you're still locked out unless you know the password. Same as contacting server for verification, just alternative to contact internal of phones instead.

What about ppl without data plan for instance. Or were on flight mode/no data mode prior to phone locking out laugh.gif

Authentication with GMail is done through server. That means if you change your GMail password online, you'll need to re-enter it on the phone again. No passwords are stored on the phone (IINM). Permissions are granted, and that's all.

Android (or smartphones as a whole) are data-based in its very core. Setting up a Google account on the device itself involves a data connection.

There will be an endless debate about security vs legitimate regaining of device. All I can say is, educate friends about playing with password protection.

Added on January 30, 2012, 4:17 pmDAMN. Just found out there's currently no way to play FM radio on the Galaxy Nexus. Only way is to stream via internet. Spirit FM doesn't work. Dang...

Ah, guess the whole permissions and not storage of password thing makes sense.
