What the fuck is the point of this pattern lock, when smudges on the screen reveal the pattern?
>>54655942
Such is life when you're an android fag
>>54655942
Wipe the cheetos off your fingers and it wont be very noticeable.
They are generally shit for that reason, but you can pick crossing patterns and wipe your thumb across as a habit to improve things.
>>54655978
I've tested this with freshly washed hands and cleaned screen.
Wash your fucking hands holy shit
>>54655942
Yet another problem that the Apple iPhone 6S Plus doesn't have.
>>54656041
Because what, it has slide to unlock? I can do that on my Android phone as well.
Wash yourself more than once a week lardass
shouldn't your screen have so many smudges that it won't be easily recognized?
you also usually unlock the phone before using it, use it(which should create new smudges), then lock it without the good smudges on it.
Convenience, as it relies on the fact that after you enter your pattern you will use your phone and thus scramble the evidence. Also unless you eat chips and use your phone, the pattern input won't be visible at all.
Also if you're doing something really shady then use a password lock. Pattern locks are easier to guess compared to a password even if the attacker can't see the pattern smudge on the screen.

If you had ever used a touchscreen device, you would know that this happens with clean hands.
>>54656071
I have a habit of cleaning the screen often. Fucking hate having smudges.
>tfw fell for the touchscreen meme
>>54656111
Then smudges revealing your unlock pattern shouldn't be of too much concern.
>>54656103
Long time touchscreen user here
Clean hands prevents this. In any case, marks like in the OP only happens if you use your phone for unlocking it only
This isn't meant to be secure. For me it works perfectly as a "child repellant". My kids are still way too stupid to figure out the smudges-thing and thus can't drain my battery and install random gaymez whole I'm asleep ignoring them fuckers
>>54655942
Who needs a pattern lock when you're born with fingerprints?
>>54656111
I don't think I'll ever get used to smartphones either
cleaning screens has been on my mind ever since I first realized I had to turn my first Windows 95 PC off in order to clean its screen cause it was a CRT
holograms fucking when silicon valley?
>>54656173
This is even worse, people can dust for fingerprints. Gonna remember that next time I find an iPhone though, thanks.
>>54656173
Anyone spending time in America, where a pattern is Constitutionally protected and a fingerprint is not. I don't want cops seeing the photos I have of my friends' pets.
>>54656173
Thanks senpai, maybe I should buy pic related "just in case" :^)
>>54656173
Such an awkward position for a fingerprint reader.
>>54656173
>fingerprint reader
This has got to be the stupidest thing apple has ever done
>>54656298
agreed. Sad to see all the android manufacturers following suit
>>54656071
The unlock pattern is a somewhat large, unique pattern that's swiped just about every time the phone is picked up. Unless they play Fruit Ninja a lot, most people will just do taps or swipe up/down in one place to scroll.
>>54656041
Your fingerprints aren't protected in the US. A police officer can make you unlock a fingerprint lock but not a pattern lock. So your iPhone might be convenient, but you better hope that you never find yourself in a situation where Touch ID is actually supposed to protect you from something.

I have this problem with my G4.
Has anyone here actually used the fingerprint scanner on the iphone? Of course not! I was pretty doubtful myself, but it's really not all that bad. It's so fast that it's actually sort of inconvenient sometimes. Since I wake the screen with the home button, it'll unlock before I even have a chance to see the unlock screen. You don't have to rub your human grime off the reader as often as you'd think either.
>2016
>not using a fingerprint sensor
>>54656480
dumbass
>>54655942
Nexus S was shit phone.
>>54656204
Sucks for iPhone users. The Samsung I have requires you to swipe your thumb across the button so it'd be all smudged anyway. The NSA aren't tracking me today.
>>54656480
>thinks using a finger print sensor is a good idea
>>54656519
Possibly, issue is not limited to this phone though.
>>54656532
That's not the problem. Nobody gives a shit if they can't get a fingerprint off the sensor, they have the entire fucking screen to work with. Stop using that shit.
I never used a lockscreen, password or anything for my phones. If someone would steal it, they'd have access to the files either way unless you encrypt them manually.
>>54656532
The NSA most likely already has your fingerprints. Hell, I know for a fact they've got mine. No point in using something you already know is compromised.
>>54656599
Do you also leave your front entry house door unlocked? Mind if you share where you live, maybe we could have a party or something :^)
>>54656204
the fingerprint scanner on the iphone uses depth data, something you lose with a dusted fingerprint
>>54656618
No but I also don't have my house with me in my pocket at all times.
>>54656605
It's not just the government you have to worry about. Anybody with a fingerprint kit can dust for prints all over the front screen and possibly even the back if it has glass. The kits are also pretty cheap, see >>54656265
>>54656599
Not if you use full disk encryption, which you should do on any modern Android phone with cryptographic extensions. All you need to do is check a box.
>>54655942
You are supposed to wash your hands and clean your phone every now and then, neckbeard.
>not using randomized keypad lock on an encrypted cyanogenmod motorola device
>>54656642
It's easier to just give you a water bottle or something and pull the prints from it after you throw it out. You get nice solid prints because of the firm grip you put on a bottle.
>>54656652
Doesn't work when there are cameras everywhere.
>>54656622
Then apple needs to improve it because there are hundreds of people on youtube proving you can unlock an iPhone with a dusted fingerprint. Of course most people don't actually use the scanner at all so most ifags are safe, at least from niggers. The government knows software and/or hardware backdoors present on iPhones so your data is never safe on an iPhone.
>>54656041
>>54656173
the thing you fail to see is that this is not the only form of password that you have on android there is still the option to use a pin number or a standard word password just like an iphone and if you want a fingerprint reader just get an android with one
its simply another option to have nothing more
>>54655942
>being this filthy
wash your hands.
>>54656364
No we don't.
why the fuck would the nsa dust fingerprints off a phone that belongs to some fat neckbeard who posts on /g/ about trivial things like what phone people use
is this thread a meme?
>>54656347
>>54656212
This is why America needs Rand.
If this is so much of a problem without cheeto fingers, OP, why don't you go ahead and tell me my passcode?
>>54656204
>even worse
It's not worse. It's a lot easier to just repeat a pattern based on smudges than to re-create a fingerprint to trick a fingerprint scanner.
>>54657000
>It's not worse. It's a lot easier to just repeat a pattern based on smudges than to re-create a fingerprint to trick a fingerprint scanner.
It is but you're assuming your victim will enter their pattern while eating cheetos and instantly lock their phone thereafter. This scenario isn't really that likely.
>>54655942
Then just use the pin lock or fingerprint unlock.
>>54657114
Both are shit ideas, password is the only sane way to lock your phone. Though at least with the pin people can't dust for fingerprints I guess.
>>54656861
>We demand you put your finger on the phone

>tfw my motorola g 1st gen 4g just softboots when i try to enable encryption, in both LL and MM
Feels bad man
If it needs to be secure you shouldn't be doing it on a phone. Phones aren't meant to be secure. They're designed to report everything you do back to google, apple, microsft, any alphabet soup agencies you can think of as well as the creator of any apps you installed. It does so using an encryption scheme that has a cipher text only attack over easily intercepted rf signals.
All a password is good for is making jamal pay a cell phone repair store in the ghetto to take your password off before he sells your phone.
>not using a pattern that traces back over itself so the smudge doesn't reveal what the pattern is
Sure is single digit IQ in this thread
>>54655942
Gross. How about not having greasy fingers to begin with?
>>54656811
>>54656364
If you guys haven't felt a v10 yet find one and have sex with the scanner.
Tactile fingerprint reader with perfect sized volume buttons to compliment. Ive clicked the thing out of fun for the last 5 months now and its still in great shape to boot
>>54657310
Phones carry personal information, saying that one shouldn't care about security is absurd.

Encryption is for protecting yourself against thieves. The government will always win.
>>54656173
i can slice your hand off and use it on the phone discarding the severed hand later after harvested relevant information
if i use your phone every time i can walk around with a freezerbag filled with ice where i keep the hand

you obviously have disgusting hands, or you don't dry your hands completely
