I will admit, it has happened ONCE, and that's because I was running Pandora, updating apps, and have Power Saving Mode on (idk why) but hasn't happened ever since. I just tried this on my GS3 and it didn't work.

Security needs vast improvement.

I know in iOS 6. Tell Apple to fix that ASAP.

to be honest, i think apple ios will remain the most secure os for a long time and its easy to push in more, quicker security updates on ios
forget about android not being secure, even we don't know how many things we do on our devices to make them even more insecure, especially with the custom builds(rooting)
i am not talking about this minor issue(samsung's lock screen bypassing) , i am talking about android in general........we don't know about the future, but today android is more vulnerable

I'd have to give BB credit. Blackberry is probably in my book the most secure.

Certainly not financially secure.

Are u high on crack? Since when did ios become the most secure os. Blackberry would remain the most secure os, even if they had a 1 month holiday

is it working when you are on wifi and when you are on power saving mode?
just try it and tell me.........and are you using the international version?

T-mobile Galaxy S3. I tried again. It works, but it only shows the homescreen for 1/16 of a second which really isn't an issue to me. All I have is the weather widget, camera, gmail, etc. and that's it.

This little flaw doesn't affect me at all and don't care about it. Now getting to my text messages and such, that's a different story lol.

Did Apple patent security lock flaws?

Apple has nothing to do with the article.

Sure they do. They're your motivation for posting in every Android article. They're your motivation for life, spreading the gospel of Apple.

Just go to settings, lockscreen and use password(High Security), problem solved!

12. Mxyzptlk posted on 7 hours ago 1 14

That doesn't solve anything.

nothing can be accessed from your phone anyway.. people can live with it.. once the lock screen get activated, any window behind it is closed..

iOS 6.1.1 The pioneer of lock screen bypassing.

14. nlbates66 posted on 7 hours ago 6 0

wasn't it more like iOS 2.1 or iOS 4.1 that had the original glitch on iOS?

FYI, set pin security is still the same as pattern! 4.1.2

This woks as described just tried it not really a big deal as it only shows ur home screen for a split second but still should not happen

15. amozhi posted on 7 hours ago 0 1

Nope it is not happening on my S3 (international version)

16. procopiojose posted on 7 hours ago 1 2

simple window transition delay.. you cannot do much since after the screen is locked, anything behind is closed or minimize by the os.. direct call via widget.. haha.. yeah someone who wants to peek on your phone will definitely do that..

just wipeout the phone to go pass lock screen lol ;)
