Post Body

Now this isnt an android hate thread because i love android and only use them my problem is with the Galaxy S8.

Now i have just discovered how easy it is to get into the command center where you access safe boot and factory reset. I discovered this because i allowed my 5 year old niece to use my phone and somehow she managed to reset the phone. Granted it was corrupted cause i think she realized what she was doing was probably bad and tried to stop it but still reset.

Now at first i assumed this was my fault (still partly is) cause i thought i just didnt have the setting on to block access to these commands but to my surprise you cannot lock these settings. Now this thought scares me because what if my phone was stolen? If it was and assuming whoever stole it is smart im probably never getting that phone back.

Im honestly only mad because my minecraft world as well as ACNL data is gone. All because the Samsung had to be a whore and have her settings open to everyone. I am really glad we are on the system of google locks to prevent resetting and stolen items.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
