In today's society, you think your family and friends are the people who know you the best. They are not. In fact, it is our phone that is the closest to us every day. So many of our information and secrets are stored on our phone. That's why when you lend your phone to others or share it around, you'll inevitably worry that your important information gets leaked or modified.
You might not know that the multi-user mode on the Huawei Nova Plus is your phone's most trustworthy secret guardian. The multi-user function allocates separate storage to different users and isolate each user's data to protect your privacy. Even when different users share the same app, everybody's data is separated.
This helpful function divides users into three different roles. Each phone can only have one owner and one guest, but you can create multiple sub users.
Owner: the owner of the phone. Generally you will only log in as the owner when you are using your own phone.
Sub user: Your close family or friends can log in as a sub user when they use your phone. After they log in, they can use most of the functions, except the functions that will influence the owner, such as factory reset and do-not-disturb.
Guest: Guests have relatively limited access permissions. When a friend who is not that close to you borrows your phone, it is best for them to log in to your phone as a guest. After they log in, they are only allowed to carry out certain operations. They don't have access to messages and can't install unknown apps.

Isn't it a very helpful feature? Now let's take a look at how to use this feature in detail.
Touch Settings > Users to access the multi-user management screen. You can add, switch, and remove users and manage access permissions for each user.
Add user
Touch Add or Add guest and follow the onscreen instructions to add a sub user or guest. After you add a user, the user will appear on the unlock screen. The user on the unlock screen is the user that is currently logged in.
Switch user
Touch the user that you want to log in with, and touch Switch user in the displayed menu. You can also touch the user's profile picture on the unlock screen to log in.
Allow calls and messages, and sharing of communication history
When you log in as the owner, you can give access permissions to sub users and the guest.
Touch the user that you want to give access permissions to, and touch Allow calls and messages, and sharing of communication history in the displayed menu.
After granting the user permission, they will be allowed to make calls, send messages, and share call and message logs with the owner. If the owner has given access permission to more than one sub user, authorized sub users can also share their communication history.
Note: The guest cannot send messages.
Remove user
Touch the user that you want to delete, and then touch Remove user in the displayed menu. The user's data will also be deleted when the user is removed.
Don't you think this secret protector for your phone is awesome! You will never have to worry about embarrassing information leaks again. Grab your Huawei Nova Plus and give it a go!
It would be nice to give this other guests an own fingerprint... So nobody knows that we started the"other" guest mode...

A new update is now online for Windows Mobile users. This update allows you to share your workouts on Twitter and Facebook without having to visit the website.
Here’s what is changed in the new version:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The sharing screen
Added Twitter and Facebook integration. If you choose to upload your workout when it’s completed, you’ll be taken to the “Share” screen where you have the option of checking “Facebook” and/or “Twitter” and pushing the left button to post a link. If you don’t want to share them immediately, you can access this screen using the “Options” menu while viewing your workout data.
For Twitter, you’ll need to provide your Twitter username and password at the share screen. You can check “Remember me” to avoid having to enter them again. You can also enter your own text, where “[link]” will be replaced with the link to your workout on SportyPal.com.
You don’t have to enter anything for Facebook, but you do need to connect your SportyPal account to your Facebook account before posting. This post contains instructions on doing this.
The “Upload” button in your workout details no longer goes away after you upload, which means that you no longer have to use the rather awkward re-uploading method from previous versions.
SportyPal should now notify you after uploading a workout if a newer version is available.
The workout’s starting time is now used as the official workout time (used to be the end time).
Fixed the NullReferenceException upload bug. You should be able to upload all of your workouts now. If not…
Drastically reduced memory usage. This should put an end to the memory issues that high-res device users have been experiencing.
Fixed a bug in native GPS mode which would cause it to register failure even when it shouldn’t. This made it impossible for some users to use native mode.
Fixed a crash in the workout details screen that occurred when you scrolled through both free-style and non-free-style workouts using the d-pad.
The proxy bug should be gone for good now.
The d-pad buttons on landscape-screen Windows Mobile Standard devices are no longer mixed up when selecting a button from the status bar.
Added some bits to help keep the GPS chip online in case the device goes to sleep or the user presses the power button.
The tracking map now centers itself during the workout.
Fixed a (very rare) scenario that would cause the user’s e-mail address to be rejected during registration due to a null-terminating character being added at the end of every text box.
Fixed a scenario that would cause all uploads by a device to be rejected due to the device’s (or the device manufacturer’s) name containing illegal characters.
Added automatic language recognition for Czech.

The application it is very useful as it is, but the main differences are on their web service i think. Lot of utilities for goals, data, performances are free.
There is an existing thread for this software located here... Sporty Pal
The misses has just received here DHD and found that the standard HTC People manager only shows the address in a small scrollable field and it's really awkward to see the full address at a glance.
Does anyone have any ideas how to make the address easily visible?
Or an alternative contact manager app?
I'll post screen shots later if it'll help.
I had a quick surf earlier and couldn't find any info that was helpful...
So we can view a complete contract address, does anyone know how to get the standard Contact viewer to replace HTC's?
HTC Contact Address is truncated on a single line e.g.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Android Contact Address is shown over several lines e.g.
Excuse the pic's, they're for illustration purposes only.
I had the same problem with my last phone - a Nokia E71. You had to hit 'edit' to view the address in a seperate window. A pain in the posterior! And, like you, I've noticed that the HTC People app does the same thing. So you can either a) use the 'edit' mode or b) tap the address, it comes up on Google maps, tap the flag and then the full address pops up. Doh ....
Thing is, with the more basic Nokias, and I've just checked with the wife's 2730 Classic, you can use the 'View' option to look at the complete address. If the address was so long it wouldn't fit on one screen then you just scroll down. Simples! Now, how can Android do the same?
Dave
Same problem with birthday... Can't see the year until you edit it, annoying
OK. Been looking into this as I was getting a bit hacked off with it. Something so basic .... Anyhow, downloaded 'AddressBook for Android 2' and at first it looked quite good but soon noticed it had no 'comapny' field ... But you could view the complete address in a single window.
Then tried Youlu. Now this seems to meet all my needs (at present anyway!). It gives all the same info as the 'people' app but when you choose the address you get ..... the full postal address!!!! Only then, if you tap the address you get Google maps showing where it is.
HTH
Dave
Thanks for the suggestions, although I don't see many favourable reviews for Youlu - how have you found it?
I sent this issue to HTC a few weeks back. Maybe if more of us do the same they may consider addressing it (if you'll pardon the pun) in a future update.
I'm getting a little fed-up with having to consider using 3rd party apps to replace basic functionality. I'm using Handcent because Sense SMS is broken, the Sense calendar is full of holes and doesn't include tasks, so I'm looking for a replacement... And contacts (which is otherwise ok) doesn't show complete addresses!

With everyone trying to copy folders from iOS and Android i kind of got bored of it. Either way folders on WP7 will never work cause they don't match the design language.
Making application lists would save clutter and would act as storage folders to store certain app you want to hide out of the full application list.
My concept isn't new. Just different approach to categorising your apps. Which lets face it is pretty brutal in WP7. Jump lists are sort of a pain in the a$$ as well.
By clicking on a thread header (just like in the email threads) you will pop out the application list that you added to that thread.
If you pressed and held onto an app. Instead of the option pin the app and uninstal it to the start screen another option would pop up for making a new application list, as well as extra option to add the app to an existing list or remove it from the list if it is already in it.
Once you click on make a new list, you would be asked to name it.
After making a folder you can click on an app you want to add. Select add to a folder and a pop up would come up which folder do you want to add it to.
I think the start screen takes good care of making sure most apps you need are on it. This would ensure that the must need applications for you that you don't want to pin to the start screen are always there without a long list to scroll through.
Now to find some one to make it?
It's not a bad start (although I completely disagree with the idea that folders "don't match the design language", but that's a topic for a different discussion).
Your idea is a good one, but what I would rather see is a design where "opening" the folder/list would not expand it in place (that would just add more clutter IMO), but open a new pane to the right of the full app list that focuses on just the apps in the custom folder/list. Then, to get back to the full list you only need to swipe back to it, even if your custom folder/list more than fills the screen.
Maybe a people hub like group function can be implement to the app list too?
That could work too. It might not be as seamless as the people hub groups, but it could still be a possibility.
honestly I love the app list and the alphabetical jumplist. Finding apps is no problem. However they could implement "groups" for apps the way they do people. With the app live tile cycling through the app group main tile. So If I have "news" group with USA Today, Fuse, Fox news etc the Group live tile should show me the weather, latest national and tech news.
How I would change the app list is universal search. When you hit the search icon and enter some text say "microosft" it should present several pivots "apps" "emails" "documents" and "web" filtering out the search results in a metro manner. Infact if they could hardwire the bing key to do that I'd be happy.
Well its an idea I dont think a hub for apps would work cause it would mean you have to go into and out of the hub. Where as with a "group" "list" "thread" or a "folder" you can quickly open them and close them
Happy day,
I've spent some time learning about my phone, messing around a little bit with what comes stock and such. One thing that keeps nagging me is how much of my data the various programs in Google Play want. What business is it of a game-maker to want my contact list? Why should a ringtone or wallpaper or recipe or any other program require that I surrender my data? Sure, they want mine for billing or marketing, that's fine, but why my contacts?
Here's one. A company called Droidhen makes a game. They require the ability to read phone status and ID, which gives them info about me and the number a call is connected to. Why do they require knowing the number to which I am connected?
The list goes on, of course, and maybe I misunderstand Google's warnings about what these companies want, but perhaps not?
Which brings me to the reason for my post. I would like to be able to use and pay for programs that do not access all of my accounts, take my data, track me and such. If I use a program that needs to know my location in order for it to work, that's fine. But in the end, I want to limit what companies can seize.
Will rooting provide me with access to the privacy controls I want?
You could try using this, it's a port of how MIUI handles superuser and permissions. I have not used it myself but it seems like it has the features you are looking for by managing what permission's an app is allowed to have.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For the droidhen game, it needs the ability to read your phone status and Id so if someone calls, it will go to the phone call I think. I havent looked into it much but theres options out there

The online mobile-security service has a neat and user-friendly Web interface, which allows users to issue a variety of remote commands on the computer or another WiFi-enabled smartphone or tablet, using a WiFi or GPS radio or a service provider’s 3G network. It’s absolutely free, and using it is as simple as following the instructions below:
Activate Remote Controls (or Remote Functions for some devices) on your Samsung smartphone or tablet (select Menu > Settings > Location and Security > Remote Controls).
In case you don’t have a Samsung account, sign up for one with your Samsung smartphone or tablet (select Menu > Settings > Accounts and Sync > Add Account > Samsung Account).
If you already have a Samsung account, go to the Samsung Dive website (www.samsungdive.com) and log in using your existing account.
A full list of commands users can expect from the Samsung Dive follows:
Track My Mobile uses Google Maps to pinpoint the location of your device anywhere in the world and allows you to track its movement at 15-minute intervals for 12 hours. You may incur data charges depending on your service provider. At first, I was not able to locate my Samsung Galaxy S2. But after logging out of Samsung Dive, removing my Samsung account on the Note, and adding the account again, tracking worked flawlessly.
Lock My Mobile, : As the command states, locks your device after displaying a customizable message and a mobile number, which can be contacted from your locked gadget. Of course, this window also lets you set up a numerical Unlock PIN code to, well, unlock it.
Ring My Mobile It rings your device for a minute at the highest volume level, regardless of its user-configured settings. This is a great service which can mean the difference between finding your phone or tablet and losing it, provided you are within minutes after misplacing your gadget and it is connected to a WiFi or 3G network.
Call/Message Forwarding It lets you forward calls and texts for your lost device to a specified mobile number.
Call Logs It is a tool that retrieves your call logs from last week.
Wipe Out My Mobile allows you to delete data on external storage devices and SIM cards and revert your tablet or smartphone back to its original state with the Factory Data Reset function.
Unlock My Screen remotely unlocks the screen of your device.
And ? Dive has been out since forever. Angling for RC status are we ? (Yes it's that obvious )
