    Abstract: The disclosure is related to locking an orientation of a display screen of a mobile display device. In an aspect, the mobile display device stores a first local orientation lock associated with a first application, wherein the first local orientation lock specifies a first orientation of the display screen to which the orientation of the display screen is to be set when the first application is displayed on the display screen, receives an instruction to display the first application, determines whether a global orientation lock for the display screen is set, wherein the global orientation lock specifies a global orientation of the display screen to which the orientation of the display screen is to be set, and sets, based on the global orientation lock being set, the orientation of the display screen to the global orientation and displaying the first application on the display screen in accordance with the global orientation.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for detecting a communications network or assisting in the detection of a communications network. In a method for detecting a communications network, a beacon received from a device over a wireless local area network (WLAN) may be decoded to identify an information element (IE) in the beacon. The IE may indicate an availability of another network. When the IE is empty, a sleep mode may be entered (e.g., by a user equipment (UE)). In a method for assisting a detection of a communications network, a database including information indicating an availability of at least a first network may be accessed, and a beacon may be broadcast over a WLAN. The beacon may include an IE that indicates the availability of at least the first network.

    Abstract: Various features related to selectively forwarding alerts/notifications for communications received at a first device to a paired device based on a user's privacy settings, are described. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus maybe a first device, e.g., a UE, including at least one processor. In some configurations, the at least one processor is configured to receive a communication, and determine whether the communication is from a contact associated with a restricted group. The at least one processor maybe further configured to perform, based on the determining, one of: blocking an alert corresponding to the communication from being forwarded to a second device, or forwarding the alert corresponding to the communication to the second device. The second device maybe one of a wearable device, a car infotainment unit, a home entertainment unit, or a business conferencing unit, paired with the first device.

    Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems embodiments enable a multi-antenna mobile device to mitigate radio frequency (RF) radiation exposure to users. A processor may determine a distance between the multi-antenna mobile device and the select portion of the user and switch from using a first antenna that is closer to the select portion of the user to using a second antenna when the multi-antenna mobile device is close to the user. The signal strength of the first antenna may be compared to the signal strength of a second antenna of the multi-antenna mobile device, and the second antenna may be used instead of the first antenna when the signal strength of the first antenna is within a predetermined threshold of the signal strength of the second antenna. If acceptable signal quality is not obtained with the second antenna, the multi-antenna mobile device may switch back to the first antenna.

    Abstract: In currently available mobile devices (e.g., a user equipment (UE)), no authentication occurs at the mobile device to answer an incoming call at the mobile device. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus for secure call answering are provided. The apparatus is a first UE. The apparatus receives an incoming call originated from a second UE. The apparatus determines whether the incoming call originated from the second UE is a secure incoming call. The apparatus also receives a secure authentication input upon determining that the incoming call is a secure incoming call. Further, the apparatus determines whether the secure authentication input matches with authentication information upon receiving the secure authentication input. Additionally, the apparatus answers the received secure incoming call originated from the second UE when the received secure authentication input matches the authentication information.
