An easy way to fix this is have the device need a 4 digit code every time the screen wakes. Have them auto lock after a brief period of inactivity.
You may recall that was disabled many years ago. It was a massive pain in the arse on delivery trying to unlock the screen in the rain.
I find wet weather mode or whatever it is called works pretty well nowadays. At least compared to my watch and phone but yeah you are right, it would be an extra faff each time. Maybe just have it when you need to access the main menu and not when in outdoor?
The wet weather mode does seem to help somewhat. I find the Sun and reflections a problem - you cannot read the darn thing and I always seem to be tilting it one way or another. A battered screen protector also doesn't help. Luckily the summer doesn't last too long. Doh!
I’m not sure if it is allowed, but I remove the screen protector, which might also why I am having a better time with the PDAs than others.
Have you not sussed that Lou & Smoothbackground ate the same person yet? Go back over their posts….same comments and POV using the same terminology so no point in debating with one because all you’re doing is arguing with the other!!
You’ve sussed us out. Well done. Apart from being different genders, one of us not working in London, and about 20 years of experience in the job between us, we are identical.
Going back to the original post I don't think there's anything particularly sensitive on the PDA, driving licence checks are done on the people app now there's no driving licence info on the PDA. So unless you count how long someone has been idling, marked down for cornering too quickly,what time they scanned in and out or how many trackeds they brought back as sensitive info then that's about as interesting as it gets.

How have you “sussed” that one out? Do Lou and I have the same or similar IP address? Is our vocabulary, syntax and sentence formation the same? Do we work in the same office? Go on, share your no doubt detailed analyses and comparisons from going back over our respective posts and highlight your “evidence” for us all to see.
In fact, let’s just short-circuit it. Your Spidey senses are waaay off. You’re in the wrong job, Sherlock, and are making yourself look more than a tad silly. I will categorically confirm here and now that I am not the same person as the poster LouBarlow. I suggest you apologise for casting aspersions. The only one in this thread breaking forum rules is/was SkiSunday — and now potentially yourself. Please back up your spurious allegation with your evidence or, failing that, withdraw it and apologise.

You didn't eat the same person though did you?
What, with your two-day period of abstinence, i had thought you were away for a spot of early-season skiing. Oh well, no such luck…

But it’s not just about what data is contained on the PDA and/or what data can be accessed via the PDA that is held on other RM systems/servers. A rogue colleague could use another person’s logged-in PDA to do all sorts with.

You're spot on, imagine someone stealing my logged in pda then doing a van check and subsequently leave it idling for a couple of hours. Not to mention delivering all their parcels into a wheelie bin.

Yeah I know I'm only joking
Well, yours is one example of possible misuse of a PDA. However, I had in mind something more serious, eg, theft of packets, special delivery items, etc, which someone might scan as missorted, delivered, etc.
