Just opened the American stage of the Samsung Galaxy S2, it has been known that some units of the powerful touch mobile of the Korean multinational drag a small but remarkable failure. The problem would focus on the unlock interface.
As you already know, and if this is not the case, we will tell you, the Samsung Galaxy S offer a system that allows you to configure the unlock of the terminal in two ways: by dragging the main screen or through a custom pattern or gesture.
Well, the problem that would have been detected in some units of the Samsung Galaxy S2 is located in this second unlocking method. What would happen is that, despite having programmed a personalized pattern, the system could ignore the configuration, and after going from rest to activity, the mobile would start with the drag unlock screen from the main view.
That is to say: it does not matter that we have defined a gesture to unlock the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S2, since the system can randomly interpret the configuration and start independently with either of the two modes.
So far, this incidence has been registered only in the case that we define a pattern. In other words, if our configuration only contemplates unlocking by dragging the lock layer, it would not launch the pattern option by mistake.
Something that, within the erratic problem presented by these Samsung Galaxy S2, seems logical, since by not defining a custom pattern, the phone's home screen could not be unlocked.
From Samsung they affirm that they are working on ensuring that this problem is not transferred to the rest of the versions that will enter the market, so that it can also have a solution in the models that are already in circulation.
In any case, as we said, it is enough that the affected units are temporarily configured without the unlock pattern so that we do not run into this problem. However, in that case , one of the security options of the interesting Samsung Galaxy S2 would be temporarily lost.
