Yes, lets password protect every App just to avoid putting one Master one on the phone.
I find it interesting that now the App is free, everyone is a critic and complains about something they don't pay for when the MobileMe users who have paid for it for years didn't complain.
I agree. I have been using mobile me for 2 years now and it is great. I love the find me feature and I do have a password lock on my phone. Anyone that doesn't put a lock on their phone is an idiot for not doing it because if it does get lost then they have access to all your data anyways. The only problem I have had since they made it free is using the app on my phone to find my sons iphone 3GS. I always have to put in both my id and password when before the id was always there. Have no problem putting in the password but now it is an email address vs just the mobile me id now.
You can restrict access to mail accounts if you don't want a password lock on your phone for some reason. Go to Settings-General-Restrictions-turn restrictions to ON-Tap Enable Restrictions-Put your password you want in twice-go down to Allow Changes and turn Accounts to OFF. Now you can't access mail accounts to change information without changing that back to ON.
Hope this helps
Thanks. However, I have no problem with having no password on my phone. I often have it on me, but if I loose it, it got stolen, or if I forget it somewhere, bad things could happen if not using password, of course. But I see no sense in having a problem like find my iPhone if it is nit protected to deactivate.
Why is there even a choice to have no password if you're an idiot not having it turned on?
Thanks for the great idea for those like me who don't want a general passcode but would like to restrict access to email account changes like mobileme.
Eleantn is right I set my iPhone like that. If you don't lock the phone and gets lost or stolen they can access your phone but they can't turn off the Find my phone service. I only time I lock my phone is when it is not on me, which is only at work. So if I'm out at the mall or somewhere in public and say someone snatches my phone out of my hand (which has been happening quite a bit here in Northern Virgina)they won't be able to shut off the service.
