    Hi.

    What are your SIM and Screen Lock settings (auto sleep times, etc.)?

    No SIM lock (I reboot my phone into recovery / bootloader too many times for that to annoy me), no instant screen PIN either because I lock my phone too many times for that so it turns on after 30 minutes of idle. Simple swipe to unlock, 1 minute to sleep (adjustable between 30, 60 and 120 seconds in Quick Toggles in CM11) - if I ever lose my phone, it can be located and be wiped within 30 seconds from Android Lost / Google Device Manager as well as a sneaky picture if someone else is holding it ;)

    No SIM lock. Pattern lock on phone with pattern hidden when entering.

    Pin on SIM - Only ever see it when rebooting the phone or coming out of flight mode (so rare).

    Pattern lock after the phone has been idle for 2 mins.

    I think a SIM lock at the very least should be used.

    Thanks for the info guys.

    SIM lock and a pattern lock on the screen that kicks in after 15 seconds of inactivity.

    I've opted for SIM lock + Sleep (after 30 seconds of inactivity) and Screen Pattern Lock (5 seconds after sleep). Also the Power Button Instant Lock item is checked.
