Hi,
My Atom got hung after I installed a software. After soft reset and removing the software, I found that the 'lock device' option on Today screen is lost. It also disappeared on the Today's setting screen.
Is there any way to restore the 'lock device' option. I really don't want to perform a hard reset in order to restore it.
Thanks.
Just go to start-setting-today-items tab-check the device lock box-ok.
that should do it..

The 'device lock' option in 'start-setting-today-items' is disappeared. That's the probem.
Make a full backup than hard reset your device.

some times a find a few soft resets in a row have helped to unfreeze my machine. Usually they have to be reset again about 4 times in a row before the today screen or any buttons appear at all.
otherwise, when the machine has actually booted up, i have a window of opportunity being about 3 - 5 seconds before complete lock up to quickly find explorer and delete the file from startup, or remove the item from the today screen. you have to be really quick, and it usually helped as I always immediately put explorer in the start menu.
if all else fails and you are in total and utter complete lock up and have no option, you can perform a hard reset and completely start again. hold down the two soft keys (dashes normally for calendar and contacts), whilst simultaneously pressing the soft reset button with your stylus at the back of the device.
I backed up my M5000 with SPBBackup and then proceeded to install the Orange update. Failed the first time, but succeeded the second time around.
Tried to restore my files, and SPBBackup says should not restore as backup from different system -- did a restore anyway. Upon reset, M5000 hangs and hangs and hangs. Just will not start up.
Have had to do hard-reset number of times and need to re-install apps.

None of the Backup programs for WM5 support Restoring to an UPGRADED ROM.
They will only work if you restore to the same ROM version. If you upgrade or downgrade, the restore will not work
My Trinity is stuck at the hard reset screen where it says "Press SEND to restore factury default, press END to quit". I've tried to hard reset it as it told me to, but it's still stuck. I've also tried to flash it with a new ROM, but that's hard as it's unable to establish an activesync connection. Is there any way I can fix this myself ?

Have you got to the multi coloured screen after doing the hard reset (Power button+Camera button+soft reset)? If yes then you should be able to plug your Trinity into the PC and flash a Rom.
I had a similar problem while trying to flash a new rom and this worked for me. You could also try removing the battery for more than 3 secs then powering up and attempting the above tasks. Best of luck, most of all don't give up and keep searching the forums.
No, it just went back to the hard reset screen again. But I found out, I placed the buttons wrong when I changed them, so the two softbuttons were pressed all the time. It's fixed now.
ANYONE PRO one can help ME plz...........
Why My HTC WIZARD Not Enough battery energy is it will stuck back at hard reset ??
Hi! As the title says, I somehow can't use that option.
I had fingerprint scanning for a while but got tired of it so wanted to go back to just swiping but that option is not clickable. I have tried switching to other password methods and that works just fine and I also deleted my fingerprint. But it still doesn't work to use the just swipe option... Any solution? Except factory reset.

Hi,
It could be that you have a device administrator active (Google Device Manger) that requires the screen to be locked by PIN or password. To check and disable it go to Settings> Advanced settings> Security> Device administrators.
Cheers
I tried that now when you answered, but disabling that feature didn't help either..
This option is locked in kernel by Huawei because of encryption policy or credential storage.

What does that mean? And is there a way to bypass that?

It mean, that Huawei try to mentain the security of device. Maybe if you root the phone you can get full acces. You saw if you reset the phone, at start up it's required to insert the pin code. I will analyse this situation.
i have the same problem, the only way to disable the lockscreen code is by skipping it during first setup after resetting the phone
It's possible with a little workaround. Change screenlock to pattern and make a recovery pin -> Turn screen off and on -> Input wrong pattern 5 times -> Wait for the 60 second countdown and press use pin in bottom right corner -> Use your recovery pin to unlock phone and then press home button. That's it.
I contacted Huawei customer service. They told me if I have used encryption before even if you removed it the only way to turn swipe to unlock lockscreen again is to backup your data and factory reset.
Hi,
My son has enabled lock pattern on a SM-T590 device and don't remember it. Is there a way to remove it?
I try software like wondershare; 4ukey... without sucess
thanks
Factory reset.
I try the factory reset from recovery menu but the factory reset option doesn't appear. Only wipe cache.
I remember that in the past on older devices, the option was "wipe cache / factory reset"
Also try to put TWRP with ODIN but OEM LOCK is on :-(
The pattern lock is quite limited. I would swipe along untill i ran into the right one
quite limited? there is a lot of schema possible. Try hundred of them without success :-(
So the conclusion is if I can find the good schema by luck, to put the tablet in trash?
Atoto A6 PF installed yesterday and all was good until late in the day the menu stopped opening. I click the icon and it flashes a sound icon over the menu icon for a brief second before nothing else happens.
I’ve tried disconnecting the power harness in an effort to hard reset it and soft reset it to no avail.
Will try to update firmware soon but I don’t have access to putting the file onto a usb drive at the moment, as ridiculous as that sounds. And I did download the file through the browser but can’t experiment opening the file since I can’t access the menu > file explorer.
Any ideas??

Managed to successfully factory reset the device again and that solved it. Not sure why it didn’t take the first time.

Maybe you could describe the reset procedure in more detail?

Sure, it was just going through something like Settings > User Accounts > Reset, and it did a factory reset of the device.
The weird part was that I did that once already and it simply restarted the device to the same state instead of actually resetting it, so I was like uh oh what now.. Tried it again and it worked correctly.
I had thie same thing happen with my app drawer. I factory reset it and it worked fine for a couple days, then out of seeming nowhere, it started doing it again. I just did another factory reset but I have a hunch it's just a matter of time and it'll happen again. I would like to find a permanent solution. Hows yours holding up?
