Lock out during device repair?

[Gamer]

Hey all,

Is there some sort of lockout app that one can use to when sending your device in for repair?
I'd prefer not to wipe the device if I can help it. So something that will allow the basic screen test functions etc (the repair is a front LCD replacement) but lockout access to all apps & data?

Thanks

Sounds exactly what I need, I'll look at it, shot!

Or just back up to your PC using the HiSuite...this is why I do not like Huawei. Proprietary software.

It's included in the HiCare app....

Just delete the pr0n before sending it.

They may wipe the device anyway...

If it goes in for a repair the first thing they do is wipe it, nothing you do can stop that.

The device must not have any passwords or pin codes when booked for repairs. If it does, it will be rejected and returned to you.

@Sinbad , thanks again, just tested out Maintenance Mode, it works perfectly for what I need.

Still take a backup - just in case

Ja thanks, I will, complete backup including individual apps like Nova etc that allow their own settings backups.
