My mom has a keypad lock like the one you mentioned. It drives me crazy, because the numbers go from 1-5 along the top row, and 6-0 along the bottom next row, with some unknown button right underneath the 8. I really wish it had the numbers in a standard telephone layout, but I'm at their house

Okay, let me try to explain this. When my screen is locked and I get a notification, the screen doesn't unlock, but it notifies me of a notification. For instance my skybell or parcel track or a message or something like that. The problem I have is that my screen will come to life and tell

RE: Optimising use of SIRI

One thing to add is that for many tasks the phone has to be unlocked, e.g. if you ask SIRI to read an email you have to unlock it and as for translation that's not even available if you have your phone set to Canada, only if your region and language is US this works which makes little sense to

Wow, both my keypad locks have the two rows with the lock button all by its lonesome above the 3 which is right in the middle above the top row. I really don’t find this at all inconvenient. I did have a lock before with a phone keypad layout and once I got the other one it became second nature
