For pattern lock: Settings > Location & Security > Security Lock
From there you can do a passcode or the pattern. I personally use pattern because it can replace the slide to unlock all together while keeping it secure.
I got the pattern lock....but what about adding a note or your personal contact information, thats whats missing...thanks
If there is a way, I haven't found it. I know you can do it on rooted devices, depending on how the rom is set up, but as far as the droid x, I haven't seen a way to do it. You can download an app from the market that will call your phone if you lose it. Also there are apps that will find your phone on GPS. I know this isn't really what your wanting to do, but it will help you if it gets lost.
after many hours on the net I found the answer. you get this by installing the antivirus program from the apps market. you change the "this phone belongs to:" by going to the antivirus program and pressing the menu button form there go to settings, then remote management and finely lost message. you can change the whole message

That's just specific to that app. There is no way on the stock rom to set this information you are looking for. Just add a contact called Me to your contact list. That way if you lose the phone, somebody may call you (If they don't keep the phone)

Too much work for something too small I think.
One way is to update your wallpaper image to have the text you want (using your favorite image editor). Of course then it'll show on the normal home/launcher as well. But a short "Belongs to John Doe, (555) 555-5555" towards the bottom-center should work.
just found WidgetLocker Lockscreen. I havent tried it yet but I guess you can put widgets on the lock screens so I can put a note there with all this information...worth a try
So for a long time the only issue I have with this device is that while writing on the device, or holding it watching videos or similar accidental pressing of the hardware buttons can be a pain. I always thought it would be ideal to quickly be able to turn the hardware buttons on and off. As it turns out this was always available without root, but not obviously, so if this is of interest read below:
To disable the hardware buttons you need to enable interaction control. This allows you to disable access to certain parts of the screen (not needed), and is typically intended for expo type use, or giving the tablet to children. However while active this mode also cuts all input from the home, back and menu buttons ( ).
Open settings, Device, Accessibility, then scroll all the way to the bottom, and turn on interaction control.
If you read the text it tells you that this can be enabled with the home/volume down combo, or a triple press of home if enabled in "direct access". All good, if you are happy with the home/volume down combo you are all set. However the problem is that I would prefer the triple home option, and in my current rom based on stock 4.4.2 (and possibly therefore on stock as well) Samsung seems to have completely omitted the "direct access" option within the settings menu.
Without the ability to activate "direct access" you are stuck with the home/volume down combo as the only way to enable/disable the feature. However I noticed that the "direct access" menu option was available on my galaxy s4, and that Samsung gives the option to import/export accessibility settings between devices. So I quickly enabled the triple home option on my s4, exported the accessibility options and imported them onto my note 10.1 2014. This worked perfectly, and I can now enable or disable the hardware keys with a simple triple press of the home button.
For those of you without access to another samsung device here is the accessibility settings file to import
https://www.dropbox.com/s/i0uy6xm1nc3jbf7/Accessibility Settings20140926.sasf?dl=0
This doesn't work for me. I get an error telling me it cannot activate while multi-window is in use, even though only one window is open when I attempt this.

You have to un-check multi-window option from pulled down notification first. Samsung should change the meassage to " disable multi window option " rather than say "while multi-window is in use"

I got tired of my Nexus 7 draining its battery just sitting there in standby. Even if I turned the tablet all the way off, somehow the battery still drained itself (more slowly, but still…). I came up with the tips below so that I wouldn’t have to turn off the Nexus 7 completely between uses. I believe that a tablet should be in standby and ready to go at all times.
I now get more than a week of battery life in standby. For the first time, I feel like my Nexus 7 is a useful alternative to my iPad Air.
The biggest battery drain culprit during idle time is behind-the-scenes software — continuously running, polling the Internet, or updating. On a Google device such as the Nexus series, most of that power-hungry activity comes from Google itself. So here’s what we're gonna do. Before we get to the Google stuff, let’s tweak some overall settings and Play Store settings to reduce battery drain in those areas:
First, let’s make sure you’re on the latest OS version for the 2013 version of the Nexus 7. (I’m guessing these settings will work in the 2012 version also, but I don’t know for sure.) In Settings, swipe down to About Tablet, choose that, then swipe down to “Android version”. When I wrote this in mid-February 2015, the latest OS version was 5.0.2. Check for updates on the same screen, and update to the latest version if necessary. If rooted, install the latest custom ROM of your choice.
Once updated:
Hit your Play Store icon. Click the three-bar menu at the top left. Select “Settings” near the bottom.
Under “Auto-update apps,” choose “Do not auto-update apps.” (Why? Because that “feature” uses battery juice to download and install stuff whenever it feels like it, instead of whenever you say.)
On the same page, under Notifications, make sure “Notify me about updates to apps or games that I downloaded” is checked. That way you will know if something needs updating.
On the same page, uncheck “Add icon to Home screen for new apps.” Because it’s annoying, not because it uses battery.
Go to your tablet’s Settings.
Choose “Wi-Fi”.
Tap the three-dot symbol at top right.
Tap “Advanced.”
Make sure “Scanning always available” is unchecked.
On the same settings screen, under “Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep,” choose “Never”. (Don’t worry: If Wi-Fi is enabled, it will wake up instantly every time you turn on the tablet.)
While in Settings, let’s turn off some radios:
If you don’t travel with your tablet, disable Location (GPS).
If you don’t use Near Field Communication (NFC) for tap-to-pair features, disable that. You can always re-enable it when ready.
Disable Bluetooth when not using it.
Obviously, keep your device’s screen brightness as low as is comfortable. (The display is the biggest power hog on your device.) You can change the display brightness settings under Settings, Display.
While in Display Settings, disable Ambient Display. (Well, first Google it, because you might actually like the feature. But I think it’s more of a smartphone feature than a tablet feature.)
When disabling or uninstalling Google apps, DO NOT uninstall anything essential to the smooth running of your tablet. That includes:
Google Search
Google Chrome (unless you replace it with another browser)
Google Settings
Hangouts (you can disable Hangouts once you’ve replaced it with an aftermarket texting app)
Google Now (although we will disable many of its features and opt-out later)
Google Play
Gmail
Now let’s clean up a few apps. We will stay away from system apps, such as Email — because people can get into trouble uninstalling essential system apps.
It’s impossible to know every time an app is working in the background or polling the Internet. So, in my opinion, you should uninstall any app that you didn’t specifically put on the tablet yourself (system apps not included). For example, I uninstalled:
Google Earth
Google +
Hangouts (after I replaced it with Textra)
Google Docs
Google Drive
Google Sheets
Google Slides
Google Fit
Any downloaded apps I’m no longer using, such as wallpaper apps.
For smartphone owners, Google Now can be a godsend — always reminding you of what’s next, keeping you out of traffic jams, and keeping you on schedule. But tablet owners might not need the features. Additionally, with Google Now, the Nexus 7 mic is always on and listening for that “OK Google” search command — which obviously uses battery power and is more of a smartphone than tablet feature.
I found that I didn’t need Google Now at home, where my Nexus 7 is 100% of the time. If you’re like me, you can opt-out of Google Now — or at least stop the mic from listening.
We’ll start with the least draconian measure: stopping the mic from listening for the “OK Google” command from any screen:
From your main home screen, swipe up to get to the Google Now screen.
Tap the three-bar symbol at top left.
Choose Settings.
Choose Voice.
Choose “OK Google” Detection.
Uncheck “From any screen.” Leave “from the Google app” checked, then Google can listen for the command only when you have a search window open.
If you don’t want Google Now at all (I don’t like it because it’s always updating something or doing something in the background), here’s how you disable it completely, while leaving full Google Search functionality intact:
Start by disabling “OK Google” voice detection for screens other than Google Search as shown above (or you can disable it in Google Settings below).
Then, in your Applications, open the Google Settings app.
Tap “Search & Now”.
Tap “Now cards.”
Uncheck “Show cards.”
You will see a message that asks if you really want to turn off Google Now. Go ahead and do that.
From now on, you can still easily search by swiping your finger up from the bottom of any Home screen. And you can still do voice searches by tapping the microphone on any Google Search screen.
I hope these battery-saving features do as much for you as they did for me!
Thanks for the tips, always good to know. :highfive:
I'd like to add that "Google Location Reporting," is a battery hog and seems to make little difference if turned off. With it turned off, my devices still know roughly where I am. :cyclops:
In Settings, under Sound and Notification, go to “other sounds.” Uncheck “Vibrate on touch.”

I typed it myself while looking at my own device. It took hours. But yeah, that one I got wrong because I was looking at my rooted Nexus 7 at the time, not my stock one. But no need to get snarky because you found the one error in a four-page Word document--just try to help next time, okay?

Okay, perhaps your custom ROM is incorrectly reporting then, because there's no vibration on the Nexus 7.

This is fantastic -- thank you!
I just upgraded my Nexus 7 (2013 LTE) to Lollipop and its battery usage tanked. I finally got a good view of how bad it was this morning. I plugged it in last night but left it running (all radios except WiFi off (including mobile data off), display off) and it charged all night. When I checked on it this morning it had actually *lost* battery charge overnight. The battery display page shows that it had been charging all night but still steadily, albeit slowly, losing charge (went from about 51% to about 47% by morning).
I turned the device off and plugged it back in; within a couple of hours it was back up to about 70%.
From various forums it appears that people have wildly varying experience with this on their Nexus devices, including the Nexus 7, with some reporting good battery charge retention, so my first guess is that one or more of my roughly 160 apps is sucking on the battery heavily.
I'm doing a factory reset now and will then try the recharge scenario again (wherein I leave the device on while recharging) and will see what happens with the "clean" version. I'm also going to turn off WiFi, which I know will introduce a significant change, but I want to make sure there is no background WiFi activity going on either (e.g., downloading all my Google apps again).
I'll post the results of my "test".

^160 apps that's the problem. Use BBS to see what's keeping it up. You can leave WiFi on, I have all location, WiFi, now, ok google everywhere etc on and consistently get 8 hours screen time over 2 days or 7 hours over 3 days.
I've seen the difference (in negative way) of the battery in lollipop too.
I have a rooted n7 lte.
In addition to these tips, I installed "disableservice" from play store and disabled all the wear related service in android google play service and Google music.
Now on the list of battery consuming apps the Google play service is no more the first one.
I've read somewhere that the wear parts of play service consumes a lot of battery and I don't have android wear.
Only my two cents.
Bye

If you swipe left on your home screen and don't get Google Now, then Google Now is not activated on your device. If Google Now is activated, when swiping left on your home screen, you'll see a full-screen view of Google Now and its helpful cards.
Sorry, I don't know what to make of your NFC turning itself back on. Of course, NFC won't work at all if Bluetooth is off, so you can defeat it that way.

Thanks, really appreciate your help on the battery issue! I've got Bluetooth off, so that should be fine, then. I'm contemplating going back to 4.4, but haven't had time to research that yet. Again, thanks for your help.
If I remember well, swiping left on homscreen, on nexus tablets do not activate google now, but swiping up from the bottom of the screen, if it's activated it will turn on.

NFC and Bluetooth are completely unrelated.
As for the problem; I don't know but I'd have to guess that NFC is required somewhere, like perhaps Smart Lock is enabled or something else that's needing NFC? Wallet? Something like that. I can turn off NFC on my N7 Flo.
That said.. NFC uses almost zero power, so IMO it's not even worth worrying about having disabled.

NFC and Bluetooth are indeed related, but not in the way I originally thought. NFC uses an RFID-like protocol to make a connection, then Bluetooth to transfer any info (files, etc.). So, a user would need Bluetooth powered on for NFC to work, but not the other way around.

No. They are completely unrelated. They work completely independent of each other.
Dear experts,
Today I got my Mi 9T. Still trying to find my way around, but... I find it PRETTY
ASTOUNDING, that when the phone is locked, I am able to swipe down on the
LOCKSCREEN, and I see all the icons for turning on and off of VITAL functions
like ringtone, wi-fi, mobile data...
This poses a SIGNIFICANT security risk, because anybody who steals the phone,
can turn off wi-fi and mobile data and then the Find my phone feature simply
won't work.
So, what is the solution to this ? I didn't find a way to disable that menu from
being shown in the lock screen...
Or maybe the Find my phone feature works when wi-fi and mobile data are off ?!?
Many thanks for your professional comments on that!
P.S .: I think it is like that on Samsung phones as well !!! WHY ?!?
I understand your concern, the drop down menu (aka Notification shade) can be dragged down on lockscreen and it is like this on every aosp kind off ROM....
But I am very sure that the icons CANNOT BE OPERATED unless you unlock the screen.
Try to turn off wifi and it should ask for password to unlock.
Can you check it out and conform it?
Settings -> Notifications -> Lock screen notifications* -> disable "Open notification drawer on the lock screen".
* the picture/icon on the left. It's not obvious it's a submenu (nor that there's such a critical setting hidden inside) because for no apparent reason they've decided to use a totally different design language here.
Thanks. Was great to read this, however I don't have this option... I only see apps, format and open notification shade... Nothing about the drawer
Any other ideas ?

funny thing is to today I was looking up how to secure my phone as I still have access to a lot of things by just pulling down the drop menu so ja since when has security become so weak and its mostly on expensive androids phones that its happening I have a button type phone made by vodacom yet its security is more secure that mine it has the ability to set users on the hotspot which makes you think that you actually wasting on expensive when the main purpose is to be secure I also punched into to YouTube and I searched for secure yet all the results is lol how to unlock any android this is insane and I FEEL THAT BY ROOTING YOUR PHONE AND GIVEN AN OPTION TO CHANGE LIMITED ACCESS WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO AT LEAST HAVE MORE SECURITY ON OUR PHONES

That is the one. Notifications / Lock screen notifications / Open notification shade on lock screen - set it off and you won't see it on Lock screen anymore
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No such option seems to exist on Asus Zenfone
