I had this happen on my for stock android 2.3.3.. hope some devs or ppl can really help me out...
I was using my phone normally, when suddenly my phone resets itself... Normally, i have a pattern lock installed on this guy.. BUT after the strange sudden reset, the lock screen pattern suddenly becomes a pin code lock...
Now i am unable to get into my phone and it refuses to accept any code that i have used before on the phone... anyone is able to shed any light on this bug or how to reset the pin?
thanks!
do you mean a sim card lock code?
nope... i mean the PIN lock by the phone... u know in 2.3.3 u have the option of the password, pin or lock pattern?
it suddenly jus changed from lock pattern to pin code lock over one insane reset...
in that case you can only recover you account thru xrecovery or reintall the rom/hard reset it
You can't hard reset cause' you must enter a PIN code to log in OS man lol. Recommend repair your phone using SEUS. Everything will be fine.
My reccommendation is to not use any passcode or pattern locks... cos 2.3.3 is a little crazy in this area.... that one suddenly system crash made things worse... i decided to pre-set all my codes and lock pattern while i can.. and to disable the locks...
Is'nt SIM code enabled remembered by the SIM card? So any device you stick it in will ask for the code.

If it is to get out of the lockscreen, then just randomly try some pincodes, 5 times or so. A little button pops up asking if you want to reset it by logging into your gmail account.
that should fix it i suppose

So yesterday, I turned off the security pattern to unlock the phone. This morning, when I went to unlock it by sliding it, I was asked to draw the pattern again, even though I had turned off the Unlock Pattern.
But here's the interesting part: when asking for the unlock pattern, it'll accept ANY pattern to unlock the phone. Even if it is just a single circle.
I'm gonna upload a video showing this to YouTube soon.
EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPUY52kb8G8
Nice music in the video!
Interesting flaw there, perhaps it could be a settings glitch? Have you tried toggling the option to ON, then locking the device, unlocking, and then toggling it to OFF, to see if it didn't get interuppted while saving that setting?
Otherwise, have you rebooted after you removed the pattern requirement? If not, that setting could be lingering around in memory...
Actually, after shooting that video, I turned on the unlock pattern and turned it off again. It seemed to be good for a few hours, then the problem reoccured. Even now, the phone switched off due to the battery running out. When I turned it on and asked me for the unlock pattern, it unlocked atfer touching ONE circle.
Hm, interesting. Have you flashed the device at all or are you running stock OS?
As my sig says, stock. If I turn on the Unlock Pattern and turn it off, it'll stay like that for about 8 hours or so, and then it'll come back!
Hm, alright. I was going to suggest a factory reset, but that'll wipe your stuff off your HTC's memory (not the MicroSD Card, though). I haven't run into this problem before, I'll see if it does the same on mine when I get it.

I don't mind resetting it. I can backup my data through WaveSecure. I'm pretty sure that will fix the problem. But I'm more interested in finding out WHY it is happening on the first place.
I added a screen lock - the numerical password type. Now I'm not sure whether it's a bug* or I actually mistyped twice in the same manner while entering the code in the settings screen, but either way, I can't get passed the lock screen.
I thought it wasn't a big deal - do it wrong a few times and you get the option to reset lock with your Google credentials. WRONG. Unlike the pattern lock, with this numeric lock screen it simply drags you on FOREVER.
After five tries it pauses you for 30 seconds with a message "you have typed the incorrect password 5 times, please wait yada yada". I managed to get to "you have typed the incorrect password 50 times..." and it keeps going and going. No way to recover.
Luckily my phone has no real data on it, everything synched online etc. So I booted to recovery, factory reset and now all is good.
But I was quite surprised to see this is the way it is handled. Phones that can't get to recovery, or people who actually has real data (which is most people I assume) are screwed...?
There really isn't a way to get past that?
* Just tested - definitely a bug! I went through the same steps and I know for sure I typed the correct 4 digits this time around. And again, it won't accept it.
Seems like I just cannot use the numerical PIN code option as a lock screen.
I'm on 2.3.3 btw... anyone else dares try it?
i dont think anyone will dare try this after what you have reported lol
I will try it for sure, before flashing a new fw hehe

Perhaps the 2.3.3 upgrade was pulled because of this bug?
Hi all, I've always had long home screen refresh on boot, I've mainly noticed this issue while using zeubeas ics probably cause I've got more apps on my phone now than I ever had in the past.
The cause of my issue: I have always used sim pin lock on my phones, while diagnosing another issue I disabled my sim pin lock and got a big surprise when my phone booted up and was almost ready as soon as it booted, well short refresh but no were near as long as with sim lock on. Maybe there is another solution with out disabling pin lock but I haven't found it yet...

My friend thought that one of her friends changed her pattern at a party as a joke. I was trying to figure out how to fix this without resetting the phone. It also had a weird symptom of not having a limit on maximum number of attempts. Usually the phone would give you a timeout after 3-5 attempts, but here it didn't happen. Well, turns out that phone just needed a reboot! Nobody changed her password. After the reboot the old pattern worked.
I scrolled through this forum and I saw a lot of recent questions about people being unable to use pattern to unlock their phones. Is it a software bug or something?
A friend gave me this phone saying it was not working properly and he already bought a new phone, I factory reset the phone and it seems fine. But he left the phone in the devices list on his google account, and asked me, as a challenge, to bypass the frp... I've bypassed 4 frp's before, including one that was not documented at all, but I got stuck on this one. Limited settings are the only barrier between me and success. Thanks in advance!
erase frp partition (oem misc fota?) do backup of the partition beforehand!

Is there any way I could do this easier? I don't even know where to look right now
it's your silly challenge, do your homework

don't mind me but i sense some humor here.sad.
the fun begins with next thread - how to unbrick LG G6 from erased IMEI
nope, I solved it. You have to bug out the wifi by pressing next and then immediately turning off wifi, set a pattern, restart and fail inputting the pattern 30 times (took like 20 minutes for some reason), resetting the phone, and now it will ask for the pattern after connecting to a network, input the pattern and bam, phone unlocked. Nice

What kind of mental disorder is capable to reveal such trick?
What do you mean? I accidentally got the wrong pattern and it told me that there are 29 tried left until it reset, and I remembered that, in a few old bypass vids on YouTube, they had a pattern lock after a reset... That meant that if this worked, I could use the pattern I set to unlock the phone. And maybe you said that as a joke, but at least now you know how I got to this solution.
And the wifi bug? A random old frp bypass for an older version of the G6
