Ok excuse e but i dont know the first thing about this stuff but you guys do some crazy things with these phones I would think you could take the device lock features off of say a treo 700w where the phone locks on suspend and locks the screen during a call and put it on a mogul/titan/ppc6800/any other phone. And YES i know there are to "devicelock" apps and slide2unock but niether work as well as the one built into the treo i had. i like the titan much better but cant san getting off the phone and having the digital clock changed to anolog and all kinds of crap open. I would try to conquer this myself but i havent the faintest clue as where to even start. thanks even just an explanation as to why this wouldnt work would be great

I'm sorry but punctuation and paragraphs works wonders...
Device locking is but something we all have are particular preference to. I use S2U and I still find it to be one of the best things to hit my phone. Some people still like to hit "Device Lock" and unlock it the usual way. Other's might like using the password feature of WM.
So if you ask me, not many people would want to use the screen locking features of the Treo because maybe it doesn't appeal to them as just turning off the phone and having itself lock down anyway since its in hibernate. If it wasn't made, then it hasn't crossed a software developers mind yet to use it applicably.
This is the only explanation I can give you really, since after the clock's explanation in your post didn't make sense to me grammatically...
If you have the problem that I also had, that you open all kind of apps while phoning. the solution is very simple:
after picking up the call push the power button. the call will remain but the screen and all buttons are swiched off
paragraph schmaragraph im not an english major nor anything even close. you obviously understood so i dont see the need. But thank you for the input. and thanks for the turning the screen off idea i think i will try it.
Hi everyone.
This is my first time in xda and i am here posting because i have a problem with my htc elfin.
I bought the phone from e-bay. The seller told me it was unlocked but in fact it wasnt. It was on Orange and i had to unlock it using a program i bought on ebay (latter i saw it for free online ). The program was designed for htc elf but i was told it would work. Well, in fact it did, but i have a problem... The phone easilly loses network and even when it was network it wont make or receive calls... Texting works ok... I really dont know what to do... Can anyone help me??
Best regards
Hi,
Well, I hate to break the news to you, but it does kind of sound like the phone may be broken... two things you could try anyways:
a) Perform a hard-reset: Switch off your phone, keep both phone buttons pressed (green&red) and switch it on. The out-of-box state will be restored and all your data will be erased (!). So backup your contacts before doing this.
If this does not work, then it is highly likely that your phone has some sort of hardware-issue. But you may still want to try
b) Upgrade the firmware of your phone (including the radio part!). Just look around in this forum, there's basically everything you need. Always pay close attention to the how-to-guides & make sure you proceed exactly as decribed there.
Good luck,
murosama
Hi
I tryed what you said. Hard reset made nothing but updating rom did... I his working better but not perfect... Maybe some antena problem dont you think?
hey i have an htc touch vogue. and i need to get it replaced. so in order for me to get it replaced i need to have it stop working. this damage cannot be physical so however funny it may be to tell me to toss it from a building plz be serious. if you guys know of any software that i can put on my phone that will either completely screw up my entire phone, or just cause a small problem that can easily be fixed by clearing the storage but can still be a continuous problem. if you have any suggestions please reply to this thread, or private message me. that you.... have fun with this one, im seriously looking for any program that you have ever put on your phones and had caused problems for you and for you to send them my way.. thanks
I've had issues and gotten like 7 replacements. Just got a sprint refurb and it's already freezing up on me and all I installed is pcm keyboard and opened up opera that is installed with sprints customizations. The phone got all screwed up.
try to write a virus for it.. or try to corrupt system files by deleting the ones that are needed.
I got my replacement phone, It's already having issues of the hardware buttons not responding. A virus would have to destroy the rom. Deleting critical files other wise they'll just tell you to do a restore.
i got one and it has still stumped verizon , only if you really want to **** your phone up dont come crying to me if you end up regreting it, cause i will just laugh at you!!!
dial ##778# maybe ##786#
if you are using nfsfan's roms make sure you have a cdma dialer to do the ## codes in win mo. it should bring up EPST hit edit, the unlock code or whatever is 000000. then you can **** up all the **** you want lol(it is your vital connection settings to your carrier(i did accedentally)) i hit menu and reset, it does a hard reset and all the settings are now 00000000005406 and my phone is screwed for now, vzw mentioned getting me a replacement maybe, i really dont care i just want my data to work!
i was originally trying to fix what hero-sprint had screwed up...
hard reset wont fix this it will mess up your data and well for me my sms too but i still get calls
They can't just give you the correct number to put in to reactivate it? sounds like how you program the sprint phones
The easiest way would be to interupt the ROM update process. Use an official ROM update, & when the flashing progress reaches 2% disconnect the USB cable. The device will no longer boot. You then call Sprint & act stupid about what is wrong with it. "I don't know what's wrong, it just won't power up anymore."
I had put a pattern lock on my HTC HD2 but my phone went dead and after I put it in charge and turned it on the phone won't accept the right password like it doesn't recognize it ... so now im locked outta my phone . I know how to do a factory reset , but i dont wanna erase everything ..
I heard a whole bunch of stuffs and people everywhere be saying that they haven't heard any other way then the master reset to unlock the phone so I was wondering is there any other way I can unlock the phone without having to do a master reset cause I haven't backing up my datas on the phone yet and since it's locked now it doen't even allow me now to do any kind of synchronization on my pc. So since yall are the experts on that matter please help me cause I'm afraid of losing all my informations on the phone and it has been about two weeks now since I put the phone on a corner somewhere unuseful and waiting for an answer.
thanks already guys !
Unfortunately, there is no way out other than a reset. Sucks to hear I know. However, yank the SD card out first, at least you wont lose anything that's on that.
Going forward, you can use the built in Microsoft MyPhone to sync backups to your live account. Or any other number of backup software that's out there. You can also set your phone and video to save to the SD card.
Sorry man, it's the most frustrating thing about this phone.
Yea that is so frustrating ... but is there any way that I can back up my datas before i perform that master reset cause I have never back them up before and everything is saved on the phone even my contacts cause as the phone locked right now it seems impossible to me to do anything at all. Anytime I'm trying to synchronize the datas on my pc it won't let me and said "your phone is locked authenticate your phone first". So is there any way out ?

Unfortunately that's one of the bugs, that the lock screen will no longer function correctly, you won't be able to get in, ever, sorry
i think i know why it happens, at least for me...
seems whenever i install certain cabs, then uninstall them, this happens. most recently has been a swype cab i found off here, was the latest version for t-mobile hd2s. it installed fine and worked fine, but when i removed it, it caused the issue. i reformatted and only installed that cab, setup a pin, rebooted, worked, uninstalled the swype cab, rebooted, broke-wouldn't take the pin.
so maybe it has something to do with using non stock roms and using different kinds of cabs or something...
Just happened to me last week due to a forced server exchange policy.
Hard reset is it. Confirmed by HTC.
Known bug with no fix on the way it seems.
same happended to me...and still looking to fix it
i already did the reset they told not to put a password on my phone
so im lookin if they find a fix so i can use password
I was thinking, why someone didn't create a lockable recovery and download mode yet? I mean, if I get robbed I have sure that someone will not flash another ROM and take out my anti-thief app, coz when they try to get access to recovery and download mode they will be stucked by a password only I know.
Of course Samsung will never do that, you see that they want we get robbed and buy another one... They even stuck our liberty to root access and we can't install "root anti-thief" that allow us to activate GPS and DATA from sms to locate the phone and protect the app from WIPEs, witch is not the best (compare with lockable recovery and etc) but its better.
Man I wish, almost pray, that some badass hacker emerge and create this kind of things, clueless to the big brands solve, and say **** it.
I know that the most of the readers live on developed countries and almost don't have to worry about being robbed. And even if they was, they have the power to buy easily another one. Its not like here that one note 3 its over 1000 "us dollars" and we can't get this money easily, coz its 33% of the YEAR, i said YEAR, minimal wage that almost 70% of the workers here work for.
It's tough but wat can we do.... After all, do you know a good security app for non-root phones ?
Sorry my english, I tried hard.

Cerberus anti theft is what you need
Does not require root
Ty guys,
Actually I know about both apps. Android Device Manager its too simplistic and cerberus can't activate DATA AND GPS remotely with SMS, only in its root install... Non-root install means I can't activate nothing remotely, so if the thief deactivate gps, wifi and mobile data (3g; 4g), I couldn't locate my phone... and worst if he knows how "full wipe" the phone through Recovery mode, bye bye cerberus, every non-root app and your lock screen pattern, pass, pin or anything.
Samsung did do something, its called re-activation lock...
If someone steals your phone and wipes it, you need to supply the password of your samsung account to allow access afer a rom flash. Unfortunately it re-acts bad to anything NOT samsung approved(custom roms/kernels and recovery) so most people here avoid it like the plague.
Just remember, it may have a few bugs as this is the first iteration of this feature, I'm not sure how it plays with upgraded bootloaders.
Ty for the news @Ultameg69... It's something, just need to work properly... Samsung seriosly need to put password on revovery and download mode bro and of course something that forbit comunication through usb cable without pass permission...
