I don't know if the G3 has a way to do this or if I need a 3rd party app. I'd like to be able to protect my contacts/address book so if someone gets my phone when it's awake, they can't get into my contacts list.
My phone has a pattern lock to keep people out of my phone & that generally works great, but a few days ago I was using a Groupon at a restaurant, & I had to hand my phone to the server while they wandered out of my sight, to scan the barcode. It made me a little uneasy because within my Contacts, I have my bank account #'s saved under the bank names... as well as of course, my friends & relatives info. I didn't like the ideas of someone having the ability to poke around in my stuff & potentially get into my data really easily.
Any ideas for how I can either use my same pattern lock to lock out my Contacts from people in this type of situation, or if there's another way to keep my Contact info. private if I have to hand off my phone?
