it's Josh freghar from Android authority what's going on everybody and here we are with the LG g3 this is LG's new flagship very attractive has the brushed design on the back even though this is plastic but it's a very sturdy plastic I'll tell you that much but we are just going through with the LG g3 my coverage is ongoing my full review is coming soon but I wanted to revisit a rather because we already looked at this feature on the G pro 2 the not code now the NOC code is a nice way of securing your device but it's also a nice way of getting into it especially from a standby position as you can see here I'm just going to put in the code that I have already and I'll get right into the operating system it's very nice and easy to use I'm going to demonstrate how to set it up here so we'll just go ahead and jump right in so lockscreen right here under display and the NOC code is already displayed so I'll just input it since I'm looking to remove it none there we go I will just jump right back in hit the NOC code and here we go create a code so you can make something something simple maybe three hits but you can also put up to eight hits so in my case I just do maybe something like this that's what I've been using at least and there we go jump right in and you can create a backup pin in case you forget the code for whatever reason so let's just put something pretty generic and there you go lock screens change and we are ready to go so if I was to put the phone into standby we'll be able to wake the phone and you have this grid right here this 2x2 grid that will allow you to create the code and then you should be able to get into the operating system from there but what I love about it is the fact that you can use it from the standby position just visualize the grid no matter how large the grid might be you should be able to get in or how little it might be but when the grid is smaller sometimes it's a little bit more difficult to create the code and successfully get into the operating system reliably but the NOC code does get in the way at least in one particular instance that I have seen and that is when you're using the shortcuts on the back of the using those buttons holding up to go to the cue memo or holding down to go to the camera now obviously when you use those two particular apps you haven't actually gotten past the lock screen so if you want to get anywhere outside of those you have to input the NOC code but it gets a little bit annoying and I'm going to demonstrate that for you right now now here's a situation that came up quite often especially when I was doing the camera shoot either you can see on the Android authority channel right now the fact that I used the shortcut on the back to get straight to the camera in an easy way by holding the volume down button plenty of times and there's the vibration and Here I am in the camera so if I were to get into the camera right now I would be taking a bunch of shots right now let's go in and take one right now let's just do the laser guide focus nice and quick and there you go and as you can see up here it allows me to preview the photo but when I click on there I have to put in the NOC code but what gets annoying is right there because the orientation is generally in a portrait mode it goes to there and I don't have enough time to put in the code so I have to reorient ate the phone and finally put in the code just to get to the photo that I wanted to preview now I'll demonstrate that one more time it's just a little bit annoying but it happened a lot which is the reason why I got a little bit more than just a bit annoying so here I am I'm gonna take a photo I'm gonna try to go a little bit quicker now see if I can get the code in there just in time but it changes in the middle of me doing it it's just one of the more annoying things that happens I mean it is nice security tap the NOC code on there and it does do its job but that particular instance is a little bit more annoying than I would like but all in all the NOC code does its job it just gets in the way in that particular instance at least from my experience so thus far but all in all I do like the NOC code especially because it's an easy way to get into the phone without having to wake the phone first and then put in your security protocol that does it for this feature focus on the LG g3 as I keep unlocking and locking my phone using the NOC code and you can stay tuned for all of the best coverage of the LG g3 including my upcoming review of the phone which is I'm actually going to come up pretty soon I have been enjoying my time with the LG g3 and it looks like LG has really knocked it out of the park with this particular phone that has the 5.5 inch screen the high resolution at 1440p and also quite a few features underneath that really enhance the experience of what is otherwise a very good core Android experience so keep it tuned to Android authority drop
