IF you set up find my iphone on the iphone itself BEFORE it was stolen AND it is on AND it has not been restored, then you can lokc it using icloud.
Otherwise, you cannot.

How do I lock my screen when I'm on the phone so my cheek dosen't hit the mute button accedently?

The screen should be automatically locked by the proximity sensor when you put the phone in speaking position. Make sure that there is nothing blocking this sensor (like a case for example).

How can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone? If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password.

how can someone use a stolen iphone? does erasing the phone (which I feel like I should do) make it easier for the thief to use the iphone? If I don't erase it, it doesn't seem like anyone should be able to use the phone because of my password. Also, is it possible to retrieve anything that has been sent to the phone (i.e. text messages) since it was stolen through icloud? The "find my iphone" app says the device is offline but it rings when I call my number -- any idea how that would be the case? Thanks!!

You have a password, so good move on your part. Whether you erase it or the thief does, they still get to use the iPhone as theirs. Which is more important (pick one), protecting your data or punishing the thief?
Ringing occurs at the carrier. Chances are you're going to voicemail after only two or three rings. If you have an iCloud backup also a good move. Re-read my question in the first paragraph.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

How can I get contacts that were put on by the phone to the sim?

I have about 100 contacts, about half of which were already on the sim card and the other half were added using the phone. I just got a new macbook and now I'd like to restore my iphone so everything is synced with this computer. How can I keep all these contacts without writing them all down. It'd be nice if I could just sync them all to my sim card then import them later but i don't think i can do that. Any suggestions?

The iPhone cannot write contacts to the SIM card like other GSM phones; however, it can read contact from a SIM card.

The safest way is to not use the Inbox for long term storage. Make folders for your important and keeper messages and move them out of the Inbox and into those folders. This also keeps your Inbox for the purpose it was designed for.

*So What is that Phone security option...??!!!
*How can i lock my phone with password at its start??!!
=============================================================================
2- in my phone (Asha 303) when i go to: setting - security,,,, i didnt find ((phone protection)) option Basically...!!,,,, but when i go to (Change Acess Codes) i find ((Security code)) but what is the benefit of changing it as there isnt option to active it???
*Note: here when i try to change that security code its also 12345 (as default old number)....
*** Also what is the ((Security module)) option i found in my Asha 303 security option, and how to use it??

Hi Moron,
Setting up the security keyguard is one of the options for you to protect your phone from anyone who will access your phone. Another option is to download an app that allows you to protect your phone as well. You may try to search it from the Nokia Store. Here's the link:

Hope this helps.

HT201274 how can i retrieve my restrictions passcode? i cannot unlock my phone if cannot log-in my restrictions passcode

how can i retrieve my "restrictions passcode"? i cannot proceed to unlock my iphone 4 if cannot supply the restrictions code.
thanks!

You can not do so. If you can't remember it, you will need to put the phone in DFU mode (google for instructions) and restore it as a new device. Do not restore your backup. The backup contains the restriction settings.
