Put your information on the lock screen (Jelly Bean)

Android 4.1 and 4.2 "Jelly Bean" make it easy to put your emergency contact info on the lock screen, so someone can return your lost phone more easily.

14. Put your information on the lock screen (Jelly Bean)

If you've ever found someone’s lost phone, you know that it can be a hassle to try to get it back to him or her. Most times, you just have to scroll through their address book for a hint of how to contact them (or one of their family members). Android 4.1 and 4.2 users have the option to make things a little bit easier for potential do-gooders. They let you post your contact information on the phone's lock screen. From the Settings app, tap "Security" and look under the "Screen security" section for "Owner info." Tap that, and you'll be able to enter a name, email address, phone number, or any other appropriate info that will show up on the phone's lock screen.
