Epic 4G 2.2.1 Lock Screen Exploit

[aaronaaron]

Epic 4G 2.2.1. updated today, with an unlock pattern in-place. Have not tested with other lock types.

The phone is Locked.
You receive a phone call.
You answer.
THEN:
You press quickly a bunch of times on the HOME key and YOU'RE IN THE PHONE!

REALLY!?!?! REALLY!?!?!?

We all waited until Feb 21, 2011 for a poorly tested Froyo build?

Really.

So if you find a lost phone, how do you get the number to call it?

There ya go. All the thief or "finder/keeper" can ever do is answer a phone call....nothing more.

I was able to send text i was able to see all the pics and even mail one to my other email all i had to do was leave the call open so yes its a bad bug that needs to be addressed you have full use of the device while the call is open...

Mistakes happen I guess. Plus really if someone takes your phone how likely are they going to do this? I agree though. They really should work on this issue regardless...
