If you want security, buy a pda, it oranises and files stuff for you in what order one wants. Make sure the pda has Fingerprint security (Safest method yet)..... Period..
It's all the security in the world + Organiser functionality.

not everyone wants a pda phone - I think folder security isn't a big ask for a device that has the ability to store bucket loads of info, including it's own recorded images, video and sound, yet is small enough to be easily lost or stolen.

Try this
Make a folder call Private, in that folder make 10 folders called 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9. In every folder do the same thing and then again.
Then just pick a "password" ex. 1458. Now the location to store your files will be /Private/1/4/5/8/ . Is not the safest way but it will be VERY anoying for a unknown person to look over 10000 folder combinations to find your files.

That's exactly what I did, but I was slack and only went to 4. So I have four folders called 1,2,3 and 4, each with four folders named 1,2,3 and 4. I've done this to 4 levels, so I have a four digit "pin number" made up of numbers between 1 and 4 that I use to drill down to my private files. Each folder down to the fourth level has four folders in it, so peeps would easily get lost trying to find anything (each folder is called either 1, 2, 3 or 4, so it get's very confusing unless you have the 'pin').
Still stops idle hands from accidently viewing my XXX content. Example, my 8 year old niece, who certainly doesn't need to see that stuff!  Yet with this system I can still let her play with my phone.

I have also signed it...
It would be a nice idea to have a petition that asks SE to release F/W revisions to all operators and we should have a choice of cutomizing language packs and so on....
On the protected directories subject however it would be nice to be able to reach the games folder on the phone (not memory card) as well as a couple of other folders that are hidden from reach by a user....

Fingerprint security secure? Not with a 1 in 16,000 chance of a false acceptance on budget scanners. I'd call that VERY poor security. Never heard of a good password?

For all the lazy people who dont want to be creating folders you can download the "4digit password folder system" here http://www.savefile.com/files/1645745. The size of the download file is 1.2MB but actually it just takes 4 or 5 KB on the phone.
BTW, there are 11.110 folders

I signed the petition....
As the poster before me said use the Messiah. Just found it on http://www.getjar.com/products/8396/TheMessiahV20
It works well as any casual person browsing through your phone won't be able to see the preview of the image or view it. They can however delete it or send it elsewhere from your phone but hopefully the person using your phone isn't that savvy or snoopy. Works well until SE can come out with an actual protection function. |

The Messiah works well but you can also use file and folder hidding programs, the hiding program makes it look like the folder/file has never existed. You can get these programs off the GetJar website. I use FileExplorer but you have to move files to the phones memory, location:
c:/
or
e:/
Cheers. |
