swipe screen samsung phone

[ronnietoon]

my phone has a annoying habit of unlocking it self when in say jean pockets and ringing or texting people in my phone book.

is there any way of locking the swipe feature?

In the manual for the Samsung Galaxy S3 phone (that I should be receiving in the next few days) it says that pressing the Power button will do that, and I wouldn't be surprised if that is how it works for other Samsung phones.

You could try googling for the manual for your particular model, which is what I did to get mine.

Sorry - that doesn't quite address your problem.

On a Samsung Galaxy S ...

Settings->Location and Security->Change Screen Lock

its a samsung s5260 i wont invest in anything over £50 due to the amounts of phones i've gone through.

in the settings it doesn't offer a swipe lock just a phone lock which ive applied and is incredibly annoying as it is now like fought knox too do anything.

am also worried about blocking the phone if it decides to do what i said in my OP.

someone told me about an app,i tried searching but found nothing.

i think ill go back to orange shop but i cant find the receipt is a bank statement showing purchase enough?

Not familiar with that model, sorry. From searching around you should go to

Security->Phone Lock

but it sounds like you've already done that and are not happy with the way it works ....

Perhaps you could get a cover/sock for it.

Or perhaps you could try the right catogary

bibblebub thanks for your advice but the power thing diddn't work

daffy not a bad idea

toureman i think my question falls more into the how it works section maybe people could open a a debate

Get a flip case. It has a hard cover like a book that covers the screen. Just put flip cover samsung s5260 into ebay and you should find some.

Toureman, this is one of those questions that can be placed in a few categories, and How It Works is certainly one of the right ones for this Q.
