Default How do I disable "notepad" on v120c?

I have the most recent firmware on my v120c and I noticed there is something called "notepad" in recent calls menu which basically stores every keystroke in the previous session. In addition to the number you dialed, it keeps a log of everything you typed. For example, your bank info when you called to access your balance. I don't really want it to log everything I type, because if I lose the phone immediately after accessing bank info by typing in my account # and the such, it's not a good news.

How can I disable it?

I upgraded it. I'm not sure about your carrier, but Verizon Wireless does it for free. Don't go in for upgrade if you can't wait an hour, because the dumbass tech may not do how to do it right away and he'll have to consult the coworkers, manual etc and it can easily take close to an hour.

So far the only workable, but not really acceptable solution is: settings>security>lock applications>recent calls after you've changed your security and unlock code to something unique ob course. This will keep out 'recent calls' from unauthorized access. If you don't want to go through this hassle, you just have to make sure you hit any number key after you're done with a call involving sensitive information. If you had just typed in your bank info, then you quit the call, hitting 1 will clear all the info in notepad and it will say '1' in it.
