How secure is the phones Pin?

Hey guys,
Had my N96 stolen last night (it is covered just lost 40 very precious mins of video, devastating) and I was wondering, just how secure is my 4 digit pin code on the phone. Can it be bypassed easily? I'm not phishing here so I don't want detailson how anythings done just want the security of knowing that the **bleep** who has my phone can't access whats on there i.e. photo's, numbers etc.
Thanks

did you set remote lock you can lock it with a text if you did
the phone lock on the phone the Nokia default 12345 is NOT secure at all I think a software update resets it to default 12345
If however it is a SIM pin lock even only 4 digits then that is secure but a different sim will access the phone memory and your vids
I always have the SIM lock on to just to protect my account but the Nokia pin I dont rate at all
Contact the provider for your service THEY CAN LOCK IT OUT of the network on the imie thats not undo able in UK and is secure
but it only stops it making calls not access to the phone internal mem
but some countries do not use the imie lock so it could be sold on abroad
Nokia user / modder since Nokia Orange and Mobira user too before that

  • IPhone Security: How secure is the iPhone?

    We just purchased iPhones for our family. However, I have a question regarding cyber security on these devices.
    Specifically, we have the phones set up to access our MobileMe accounts, and thus the MobileMe password is part of our iPhones. This leads to two questions:
    1) If someone acquires our phones, can they easily reverse engineer the phone to determine our MobileMe passwords?
    2) When we use various free wireless services (for example, while travelling at airports), how secure is the password data as it is passed from our iPhones to MobileMe over the RF spectrum? Could someone easily “listen in” to the communication and sniff out the passwords?
    It’s not that crucial now since it is just our MobileMe account, but I would like to use my iPhone for work e-mail and am not sure if this is safe or not.
    In addition to these questions, any advice, comments, or other sources on iPhone security would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much for sharing your expertise!!!

    It depends on what the website does, and the rules are the same as using a wifi laptop:
    A) If a site uses regular HTTP with no encryption, any text data can be intercepted.
    B) Using HTTPS encryption like banks do, data can be sniffed but cannot be read unless a sophisticated hacker can unencrypt the sniffed data.
    C) Using a secure VPN for your iPhone (like HotSpot Shield), you can encrypt traffic between the iPhone and the VPN service so that all your communications are secured regardless of what the website does.
    I don't have a MobileMe account, so I don't know whether they layer any encryption over the login, but if they're like many sites, they probably do. As for what happens after login, this article is not very encouraging if the info is still current. That is why I use a VPN.

  • A friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue. How to register the phone with Apple?

    A computer illiterate friend created 3 accounts on his iPhone 5 but forgot the passwords. He can't reset the password as his yahoo address is no longer valid. Erasing the phone doesn't solve the issue as the Apple server identifies the hardware as registered. How to register the phone with Apple?
    I helped him create a new email address and new iCloud account on my Mac but when we try to register the phone with Apple it says: Maximim accounts limit reached for this device. How can he register the phone? I read different threads and found out that only Apple care can do that. We're in Romania and don't know where to call. Any suggestions on how we fix this?

    When I checked the support site for Romania, you apparently don't have an Apple Care contact center.  You "may" try calling the US Apple care number to verify the account and have the password reset sent to a different email address.  800-694-7466

    The phone should have activated when you set the device up. If it didnt, contact your carrier

  • I am planning to take unlocked  iphone5 which is from USA, let me to know how to check the phone is valid ?

    i am planning to take unlocked  iphone5 which is from USA, let me to know how to check the phone is valid ?.How can i check is that properly unlocked, stolen and service.

    IF you can actually yet purchase an unlocked iPhone4 8GB from the US Retail stores is not clear
    They are certainly available from Apple.com but only if you have a US credit card and a US delivery address
    I suspect you do not fit this requirement
    You also have to be careful as the Apple Retail stores sell no contract iPhones these are NOT unlocked
    However if you are able to purchase an unlocked iPhone4 8GB then it will certainly work with the Approved carriers in India

  • How to set the source pin of the counter

    I am programming using PCI-6251 DAQ card with the board BNC2110 and Labview 7.1.
    I just want to write a program to count the frequencies of two signals from outside. In Measurement and Automation, I could use the edge counting by selecting the edge source as Dev1/PFI0 etc. But in vi window, how to modify the source pin of ctr0 to say PFI0 or PFI1 or other else?
    And also is the strategy of my program correct or not? Because later I want to use one internal counter to count for my external signal frequencies.
    Solved!

    Hey Nangroy,
    Here's that file in LV 7.1 with DAQmx 8.8.  If you have an older version of the driver some of your subVIs may need to be changed.

  • How to make the phone's battery last longer ?

    Hi everyone,
    i am wondering if there is any difference when the battery is fully desharged thus the phone swithes off , and then you plug it into the power outlet to be charged.
    or if it is not fully decharged, and it has some one or two battery bars on the upper right corner of the display, and you set it to be charged, is there any signifficant difference between these two states ?
    is there any official or technical advice on "How to make the phone's battery last longer " ??
    thanks in advance.

    It depends on the battery.
    Charging the battery when there is some power in it is especially bad for NiMH batteries. The loss of power is called "memory effect" - battery "remembers" that it does not get fully utilized and over time starts supplying less power.
    But new Nokias come with Li-Ion or Li-Polymer and the effect on these being charged when there is still power in them is negligible. Especially for the Li-Polymer ones.
    See here about batteries and "memory effect":

  • HT4061 my brother have sent me a iphone5 in Bangladesh, now how to unlock the phone, because cellular not connect

    my brother have sent me a iphone5 in Bangladesh, now how to unlock the phone, because cellular not connect

    Send it back to your brother & have him get it officially unlocked, because there is no way for you to do that.
    Only the carrier an iPhone is locked to can authorize the phone's official unlocking, & most(if not all) will not authorize such unless your are a customer that used the phone on their network...obviously not you.
    So, send it back to your brother & have him get it unlocked or return it for a refund.

  • How to sync  the phone "(

    Hi I purchased a new iphone5 yesterday. I need to sync my iphone 4 the sync the nwe phone. I am having trouble finding out how to sync the phone. "(

    Make sure Address Book has at least one entry, the entry can be fake, that doesn't matter. When you do sync, and select contacts, this will generate a merge or replace prompt. Select merge. You never want to sync to an empty contact or calendar application on your computer.

    See Here for
    Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
    Try this first... You will not lose any Data...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

    If that does not work... try letting the battery fully drain.
    Then Charge for an Hour and try the suggestions again.

    It is not possible. You have hit Activation Lock, an anti theft measure. The last owner is the only one who can unlock it with their Apple ID. Tell them to go here
