Locked in 1m, case

I guess mine doesn't lock automatically. I have an inobtrusive plastic case, which has done the job of preventing screen damage in my many, many drops.

Auto lock with case.
I also have the habit of manually pushing the power button whenever I put the phone down. So in practice, my phone locks most of the time because I manually pushed the power button.

Mine locks after a certain period of time (not sure what the time length is). Also has a case. Feels too skinny with out one.

Screenlock is of wife when fiancé in 1990

I started using leather wallet cases about five years ago, which protect better and hold credit cards.
Autolock in 1 minute; like Ax I switch off power myself.

I got a Samsung galaxy 10note+ and use the note function almost daily.

Doesn’t the leather wallet case mean you can’t charge with MagSafe?

[AndyD]

Don't know

I started using leather wallet cases about five years ago, which protect better and hold credit cards.

I always thought smart phones in close contact with credit cards would neutralize/demagnetize the cards. Has the technology changed so that doesn’t occur any longer?

[Axtremus]

Increasingly, credit cards use microchips rather than magnetic strips to communicate to the card readers. Demagnetization is not much of a concern for credit cards if you don’t use the magnetic strips anymore.

My cards are not affected.

Those charging pads work but are slow compared to a dedicated plug in wire, or usb wire-in which we have on our sockets (my wife informs me)
