I'm just wondering what most people are using (if anything) with their phones? I never leave my phone in a place that I am not near it and usually it's in my pocket. And since I'm not a teenager I don't leave it lying around to be stolen or snooped in either.

But I still like to have the screen lock out after a half-hour of non-use. The question is, what are those who do lock out their phones use as the lock? There are four options with this phone - face recognition, pattern, PIN or password. I thought the face recognition would be cool because it would be fast and simple so I started to use that. But it was a little slow, a little too forgiving (one time it let me in even though I had on a bouffant and beard cover - clean-room work attire) and all it could see was my eyes! In low light is doesn't work well and one time it locked up the phone and required a hard-boot.

So I went over to pattern. But I'm just wondering what everyone else is using, and if those who use or tried the face recognition had similar experiences as me. Maybe I'll make this a poll...
