Remote phone locking - Lock your phone via text if you lose it!

This is a damn cool feature, basically once you set it up, if you lose your phone you can lock it via text message!I feel much safer now, as I have insurance but you cannot insure your privacy! :smileyhappy:

For reference the default lock code on an unbranded phone is 12345, I suggest you change this. Be warned though, the default lock code could vary if your phone is branded so check with your carrier first!

• Go to Menu > Settings > Phone >
  Phone mgmt. > Security settings > Phone and SIM card >
  Remote phone locking.
• Select Enable and enter a “remote locking message”. This can be anything you choose, but must be at least five characters in length.
• Enter a PIN code, you will need this to unlock the phone.
• Test it by using another phone and texting your phone the “remote locking message”.

E63 - Memory Corrupted - Due to Device Lock / Remote Lock

follow up to my previous post:

yesterday i encountered my first experience with memory corrupted problem.

as flae63's suggestion, i disabled the lock device and remote lock functionality, change the password to the original of 123456, remove the memory card, then restore it.



today i got the same problem: memory corrupted.

the lock device and remote lock have been disabled. so there must be something else causing this problem.

any response from nokia regarding this problem?
