anyone else had the issue of when you unlock the phone it doesnt go back to what you were doing but always goes back to the dial/contact screen?
It's by design.Depends where you swipe from at the bottom - see the icons at the bottom of the lock screen ie. the phone on the left, camera on the right and last thing from the middle.

I've asked this in the N4 thread: Is there a way to completely prevent access to the phone from the lock screen? I can't find one. At the moment I can still access the emergency phone call facility without having to enter the pass code / pattern. This strikes me as an exceptionally daft idea given that many of us have kids that just can't resist fiddling...Depends where you swipe from at the bottom - see the icons at the bottom of the lock screen ie. the phone on the left, camera on the right and last thing from the middle.

My N7 2012 is definitely much more lethargic under Lollipop, to the extent that when OTA updates become available for my N7 2013 and Moto G, I won't be applying them.
The problem with the N7 2012 is the poor flash memory that was used. It is extremely slow, and is the cause of most of the lag and delays that people experience with it. There's not much you can do in software to rectify the problem unfortunately. Other later devices use faster flash chips and so aren't affected in quite the same way.Insanity Magnet said:

All phone OSes work like that as far as I'm aware.

I suppose it's no different than kids fiddling with your landline phone. At least you can't call Australia from the emergency call facility.

True, though our landline phones don't have nice shiny, interactive touchscreens which appear to be the proverbial candy to my kids. Maybe I will revert to a feature phone - they pay absolutely no attention to the OHs...At least you can't call Australia from the emergency call facility.

Or perhaps don't leave your phone laying around where your kids are. Or maybe teach your kids to stop messing with your toys

Didn't stop me from calling the coppers a couple of times in my day 
Though, the round dialer on the phone was a great toy, and 1-0-0 or 9-1-1 was very easily formed

Don't start, I know. I've taken a hit elsewhere on here over that. I agree that is the most sensible thing to do (and generally we try) it's the random unguarded moments when stuff is accidentally forgotten and fingers go walking (or climbing) or the pre-meditated mucking around by my youngest who sees most forms of disciplinary action as entertainment...

You're doing it wrong
That had occurred, but given that we have two former teachers in the family, one of the holistic, intellectual (hippy) approach and the other a fire breathing, swivel eyed, scary harridan (my mum), and they both find her 'challenging' I'm slightly stumped as to how to get her to fall into line...Gassing Station | Computers, Gadgets & Stuff | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
