Security loopholes found in Samsung AT&T Galaxy S2

Some of security flaws had been discovered by one of the BGR. we are very much interested in locking the Android device with the pattern lock.But in the Samsung Galaxy s2 (AT&T) had some security flaws so we can easily bypass the pattern lock & number lock without even trying any attempts on the pattern lock.


With this little trick we can actually bypass the pattern lock password lock which will directly take you to the Home screen.Once you got the pattern lock screen on your device.Just wait for a moment to timeout of the screen, as soon as the screen time is out now press the Power Button it will actually bypass the pattern lock. And our Samsung AT&T galaxy s2 has acknowledged on this issue and trying to fix this issue.

Samsung AT&T had responded on this issue. Currently the setting for the security lock on the device, the default settings is for screen time out. So if the phone lock screen is timed out period is completed then if the user presses the power button then it required the password to unlock the device. But if the user presses the power button without completion of the screen time out the device requests for the unlocking but- it doesn't require any password to unlock the Android device.Samsung and AT&T are looking forward to fix this issue permanently.In the meanwhile lets use the resetting the screen timeout settings to "immediately". To set this settings use this Settings--->Location and Security---->Screen Unlock Settings---->Immediately
