dear experts
i recieved a G2 HERO unit from a freind,
he was palying with it and then it write on LCD,PLz login with ur google account to unlock screen.
this unit he bought second hand ,he donno any account, also no internet connection,
so, if i make hardrest and formated it, i think it will ask for registration as old dreamG1 phones
anyway to bypass it without have internt or data plan,
i already searched a lot , but not find anything help
best regards
thx in adavnce
I could tell you how to get round the pattern lock that is asking you for the Google account information (I presume this is what the issue is - the pattern of dots you need to draw on the screen)
But... If I write the instructions on clearing the pattern lock here, someone else could come along here in future and read the instructions on removing the lock and use it on a stolen phone.
I notice you have been a user on XDA for a while, so I trust you, but I don't really think it is responsible to tell anyone how to get round the pattern lock (being as you can then access all the messages/contacts on the phone), due to potential for mis-use by someone else in future.
Hope you understand.
PS. What I will say is that I am not aware of any need to activate the phone (I've got a G2 and didn't need to activate it at all. It did ask me for a Google account, but that was optional and only for syncing calendar, contacts & mail etc.
if you can operate google you can find the necessary information to bypass the lockscreen anyway. a hardreset is suggested, you want a clean phone, not the one your precessor customized for his needs, do you? so just reset it, and the lock will be gone with the reset... there is no need to have a google account, but keep in mind that you won't be able to use the market (and other minor stuff) without a google account...
Yeah. That's what I alluded to, but forgot to write- just do a hard wipe to get rid of it.
@kendon for some reason, people don't seem to know the method. The number of times I've seen it asked on other forums is ridiculous, yet it is sooooo easy to find out. Hint: Google is your friend.
hello
thx for ur replay and trust
i really appriacte
i will call freind to bring, its my turn to play now
best regards
thx in advance

yeah well, that is not only the problem with a locked phone... just saying "how can i root my phone", "is apps2sd working" and so on...

Oh god... It's not this bad on modaco though . Damn. Now I've mentioned the forum, I bet you we start getting this kind of thing over there (it never seems to be so bad over there, being as most are there for MCR so are competent in rooting etc.)
I'm pulser on modaco btw, but some no-posts user has taken my name. Might do what you did and go for pulser_g2 or something like that and start again...
OK, I'm at work and as I'm the Android expert, I pretty much deal with Heros and Moments all day. 7 days a week. So I've compiled a short list of problems that I was wondering if you guys might be able to help me out with. I kinda feel bad constantly having to hard reset my customers Heros, even though everything is backed up to google. So, since you guys have delved into the OS and programming, perhaps you have some fixes aside from hard reset (And that won't void the warranty, preferably) for these problems.
1. Picture mail. Customer just gets a download button. When they touch it, either they get downloading........ or download unsuccessful. After suspending/restoring account, deprogramminga nd reprogramming the phone, and switching the phone off the account and back on, I can get about 50% of their picmail to go through, still have to hard reset. Any thoughts on causes of this? Or a fix?
2. Youtube. Using either the browser or the youtube application, the video will not play. Will occasionally play after 4 or 5 tries, but with no consistency. Doesn't seem to happen on every phone. Hard reset does not fix this. It's listed in our known issues, with no fix. I would appreciate any of your advice. I already give my customer the workaround to use a diff browser and d/l in mp4 format, i'd like to know if I can be more help.
3. When attempting to sign into google or access Market, error "A reliable data connection could not be established. Your SIM card may not be provisioned for data. This may be a temporary problem." Etc. Once again, I do all troubleshooting on our side, customer can browse internet and use data based apps, just not contact googles servers. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
That is pretty much it. The only problem I actually cannot fix is the Youtube, other than that a hard reset will take care of it but your average sprint customer has never done a backup and has forgotten the gmail they created when they activated the phone. Thanks in advance for help and if anyone needs any help on my side or info hit me up.
Tell Sprint to get off their ass and roll out the 2.1 update. That fixes every issue you listed as well as others.
Be thankful that some very malicious exploits are still being kept hush hush. Your bosses promised fixes in November when they were shown how to crash any Sprint Android device to the point where a hard reset and a trip to the store is needed to fix it.
Fixes were promised "soon" back in November. It's almost March and I'm about to spill my guts and make things much worse.
I'll help anyone who is honest. Sprint and HTC have spent a ****load of resources on other projects instead of fixing a buggy POS system they took my 500 bucks for. That's not honest.

+1 what he said
Both posts don't actually address his questions, rather your gripes with Sprint and or HTC. Please stay on topic and help if you can.
Gee, that was entirely unhelpful. I am actually trying to help people. I come in on all my off days because no one else here is as comfortable with Android as I am. I am also the top Aircard guy because while most of these guys can fix your Blackberry, they don't know jack about Windows or Mac. So I spend the daylight hours every day trying to help people. I figured since you guys have gotten further into the OS than I ahve you might be able to offer some assistance to your fellow Hero users. Instead, I get an extremely rude message essentially spitting in my face and telling me to piss off because of the company I work for. I honestly had much higher expectations. I've been reading these forums for months and have come to have a high degree of respect for all of you, which is why I decided to start posting. That's really dissapointing. And, for the record, Sprint doesn't write Operating Systems. They just tell the manufacturer what they want (Sprint Nav, Nascar, etc.) and what they wont allow (phone as modem, bluetooth file transfer) and then get the updates whenever they make one. You guys are eagerly awaiting a Sprint 2.1? So is Sprint. I promise you.
And by the way, I realize I'm apparently a horrible person for working to feed my family and all, but I'm an Industrial Electrician, Journeyman. Also A control specialist, fiber optic terminator, and IT tech. The economy crashed, I got laid off from the electrical union cause we had no work, sat on the books for 6 months, and when the union couldnt find me work I came here. Sprint was impressed with my technical abilities (and the fact that someone with my experience/education would be willing to do tech support) and gave me a job. Don't think I'm some evil corporate asshole whos trying to get over on you, cause I'm not. If you don't want to offer your assistance that I think I very respectfully asked for, ok. You aren't hurting me, my Hero works just fine. You're just hurting every other Hero user that calls in needing help.
Oh, and since I can't play with my phone at work (new policy, it bloody sucks, I used to sit here and flash roms and stuff all day from this site) I am just reading the forums and trying to help out. This thread is aptly named for it, so if anyone needs any tech help (as far as not getting sms, mms, calls not coming through, internet down, etc) hit me up in here I'm already giving out tech advice in the picture mail thread. Lol.
How about the texts out of order problem?
I've noticed on mine, it's only when I get texts from other sprint users and it's not every time. Like just now, I sent a text to a friend with sprint, my phone says I sent it at 5:40pm, she replied 2 minutes later, but the time stamp on her text says 5:39pm. I have yet to have this issue with people on other carriers, only people that also use sprint.
Yeah, thats a weird issue. Mine does the same thing. I havent found a fix yet. When using the normal messaging app this causes new txt messages to go to the top of the thread, which is a pain in the ass if you have several hundred txts. Using Handcent keeps that from happening, but the time still comes in wrong. I'm gonna check this out today and see if I can dig something up.

Not true. His questions were answered in the first sentence of my original reply.
All these issues are a direct result of the process that was used to force Android to work with hardware and a system it was not designed for. They are all fixed in later versions of the operating system.
To the OP - I don't hold you responsible for anything Sprint does. But since you identified yourself as someone who does tech support for them, I simply told you the same thing I tell any Sprint employee. Fix your **** and soon. Pass that along please.
Too bad Sprint network and software engineers don't care about the issues enough to seek feedback like you have done. If they did, I would have told them the same thing.

Is the customer using the stock messaging app or Handcent? I notice that if I click the "download" button on the pop-up notification then I never get the picture mail. Close the pop-up notification and open the SMS app of your choice (stock, handcent or other) and the picture mail should be there.
I would think that a hard reset fixes it because it uninstalls the custom messaging app that the customer has installed that is hijacking the download.

I've noticed that many movies don't play on the browser because Youtube tries to launch "Youtube Mobile" and it blocks a lot of videos that would otherwise play in the Youtube app.
It may be an issue with the data connection. Does your store have a WiFi hotspot? If so, try disabling the Sprint Data connection and enable (and associate) the WiFi... then see if it views ok. If so, you may need to reprovision the Vision account or reset the Vision credentials.

I suspect the customer has loaded a custom ROM and is not telling you... but before they came into the store, they restored from nand. There is a known issue with some custom ROMs that will put bad data in your Google account (held on Google's servers). Try creating a new gmail account, do a hard reset, configure the new gmail account as the phone's primary Google account, and see if the market runs. If so... explain to the customer that they have (i believe permanently) screwed up their Google account and they should create a new one. They can still use their old gmail account for mail as a secondary account but as far as Market and all the other Google apps on the phone, they should use the new one. Also advise them to check with the ROM manufacturer before they load custom ROMs.
For example, MoDaCo doesn't have this problem but some of the earlier (and possibly the current) Fresh ROMs caused this problem.

Is there really such a serious exploit? Maybe its time Engadget and the other big guys in the tech press know about it and its specifics. Could be one hell of a bargaining chip to force an early release of 2.1

This doesn't seem to be totally accurate since in my case I've been using Fresh roms since the first release and have never had any market related issues. To me this would imply there's a bit more going with that. Just thought that this should be noted.

Again??? this is your first post in this thread... and if you have to start out by saying that you're not trying to be a jerk, then you probably are. It's kinda like saying "all due respect" when you have no intention of showing respect.
If you search this forum you'll find the evidence to my statements. I've been using MoDaCo's ROM and have seen numerous people that switched from Fresh and can't get the the market to work. I'm not any way devaluing the Fresh ROM or their work. I'm simply saying that there was a setting in a file (I can't remember what file exactly - you'd have to search that answer out yourself) that messed up the market for a bunch of people. This may have been an isolated issue to one version of Fresh (hence when I said "some"). If you weren't affected then you're a lucky one, but that doesn't mean that other people aren't affected. Also, my thread was informational to show that this guy's customers may have loaded a custom ROM... The ROM could have been from Fresh or anybody else (or even customized by his customers themselves).

I have had this issue with two Heros with and without third party msg apps. Also the first thing I do in setting up my msg apps is to disable the popup notificacion (just bugs me) and I have had the same thing happen. In fact I've had my msg app (whether it be stock, CHOMP, or Handcent) open and waiting for test mms msgs I sent to myself and still experienced the same problem. Again, just thought it should be noted.

Lol. Thought I edited the post. To early in the morning I guess. My point was simply that what you stated isnt necessarily true in all cases, specifically mine. And so to me this would be evidence the rom is not the issue and that there may be more to it. Thats all I was saying. Didnt mean to offend.
The only time i have heard that a Fresh ROM messed up the market was Fresh 2.1. Its just an AOSP rom and it was known for messing up the market but a fix was posted.
I just lost a lot of respect for you gbhil. What are you going to do next? Threaten the class president to try and get Obama to sign a bill?
LOL. Yeah, I'm really just gonna call up the CEO and the development department...everyone in tech support has their number....
Oh, and in response to the latest posts.....Aside from the youtube issue, a hard reset takes care of all the issue I listed. I thought I mentioned that. So that rules out the phone being permanently screwed up by bad roms. Plus, I assure you, the people that call in with these issues don't even know how to get into the phones settings, and it takes them about 10 minutes to type their google username and password. And the "cannot establish a reliable data connection" issue with google and android market isnt just the market. It happens when they try to sign into Google, sometimes when they just bought the phone and are doing it during the activation process. It also happens on the Samsung moment, so I think its safe to say it isn't a rom flashing issue. And the picmail happened on my hero before I even rooted it, and occurs on the stock app and handcent. When they call in with it happenning on stock messaging app, I have them download handcent as part of troubleshooting. As I said, after all troubleshooting is done, they maybe get half their MMS.

Do you actually work for Sprint? or are you reselling their services?
Sprint recommends that you do not even TRY to use data until 4 hours after activating the phone. It takes some time for the account to properly provision through all their systems and if you attempt to use data before the account has provisioned completely then it screws up the vision profile to the point where you MUST call Sprint and have them fix it (i.e. nothing you can do to fix it).
I ask if you work for Sprint because if you do, you'd know that and wouldn't have people trying to connect to Google right away.
Now, I know that people are going to say that this is part of the setup process for the Hero (enter your account information), and that they did it out of the box with no problem, and the Sprint reps set the phone up for them in the store, and Best Buy will set the phone up for you and they don't have problems, and a whole bunch of "it didn't cause problems for me"... but that doesn't change the fact that Sprint says quite clearly "do not try to use the vision data until 4 hours after activating the account".
So... if you're having data problems, and you don't want to use my suggestion from before to reset the Vision Profile, then call Sprint and have them do their magic little fix.
I tried everything and can't get rid of it! i dont use it and dont intend to. Anyone has an idea how this can be removed as at the moment its on all the time=battery goes dead quicker.

You can't. Need to wait for root
If you can handle it I found a Factory reset seemed to stop Moxier being active and I got almost instant results.
See the Power Use thread for more.
You can't uninstall from the phone - not sure if you can just delete the thing from the SD card though - it may cause it to fall over...
Hi all, thought I'd ask SE for help on this one.. and this was the response.. I'm going to try it and see...
Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre regarding your Sony Ericsson X10 handset.
We can confirm that you can not remove any application that came preinstalled on the Sony Ericsson X10 handset. Therefore Moxier mail can not be removed. We have however included some steps which should enable Moxier from starting up when not in use.
1. Go into your menu and select settings.
2. Select Applications
3. Select manage applications
4. Select Moxier mail
5. Select clear data then select Ok
6. Then go down to Coontrols and select Force stop
This should disable the Moxier mail.
Kind Regards,
Emma Anderson
Sony Ericsson UK Customer Services
I click on Force Stop and nothing happens ...
@ SE...
I don't think anything will visibly happen.. it's more about what shouldn't happen!! ie Moxier starting up on its own!!
Ok, then SE needs an UI (or is UX) guy there to tell them about the feedback the user should receive after taking an action ...
SE support really are hopeless... I've just tried this (with startup auditor switched off.) and guess what.... moxier started up when I switched the wifi off... and so I killed it.. and it started again when I switched the wifi on.. back to startup auditor I think!
Startup Auditor won't help with that because Moxier Mail starts up when Data Connection Change event fires (ie whenever you switch from 3G to WiFi or vice versa), and that's an event SA doesn't autokill apps at.
I've alerted the developer and he's going to add it back in so long as it doesn't cause issues.
Hi guys,
New poster here but have been lurking for a while. I too have been having the same issues as others with Moxier Mail so got on to SE Support to help. My first email was greeted with the same response as one of the posters above so I responded with the following:
Me said:
Hi Emma,
Thank you for your prompt response but I regret to inform you that the method you suggested for disabling the moxier application only works for 5-10 seconds until another data connection is made or another call is received. This ridiculous piece of software is ruining what should be an amazing phone. Whoever thought it a good idea to let it run the way it does should be given a stern talking to at the very least.
If you or anyone else in your technical department have any suggestions on how to get rid of moxier to make my phone last longer than 8 hours without needing a charge, even though I haven't used it, then I would be greatly appreciative.
Kind regards

My response:
Me said:
Hi Emma,
I should have said in my last email, but I don't have moxier set up at all. I have entered no settings in to it to activate it, nor do I intend to.
It seems to start up as soon as any data connection is initiated. Be it turning on wi-fi or turning it off and going back to GSM or 3G. It will initiate on resuming from sleep mode and when a normal phone call is made. I know that I am not the only person with this problem. It is literally happening the world over according to the numerous fora dedicated to the x10 that I have found.

I am having to use android task killer to periodically kill moxier. I have never done anything with it either and my battery was down to 50% within an hour or so after it had been on charge overnight. Since using task killer its been much better.
Only had X10 about 3 days and impressed with most things but very annoyed for the general consumer who would never use an exchange server but forced to not be able to uninstall moxier stuff on an other wise Flagship phone. maybe Sony can supply a firmware update which allows us to remove or disable it.

For what it's worth by the way I am on O2 Ireland with this phone, locked to them.
Seems we all are having these issues with the freaking Moxier. My solution is Task Panel all the way and adding moxier to the Kill section.
Cant wait to root and forget about this little thingys that are screwing up the total enjoyment of this expensive device!

Looks like this is going to be the only way. I just called Sony Ericsson's help desk and got put through to a vegetable. He advised that there was no way to shut it off, even though i didn't activate it, Sony wouldn't come up with anything to alter it as it's part of the phone and it does that to make switching easier (after i told him i hadn't used it and never planned on using it), and there was nothing they could do.
Gotta love customer service lol
Does anyone know if it can be updated to the latest version at least? Everytime I do the update, it says I have the latest version which is not true. Thanks in advance.
Why do you need to uninstall Moxier ? Just because it is in the kernel stack does not mean it's using any resources...
I use Moxier daily and it has little effect on my battery.....

That's a good point.. I was wondering about it myself today.. I don't use moxier, but there seems to have been a wave of mistrust developing about the app...I've currently got Startup auditor and task manager keeping it off.. but actually not run any tests to see if it's a problem... tell you what.. right now at.. 2217.. I'll take it out of Startup auditor and task manager and see what happens.. will report back later!

First post here!!! But sadly I'm admitting to being a noob...
I recently rooted my galaxy s4 i337 and I heard about deleting bloatware so I was like, "hey that sounds cool!"
Sadly I did not realize the effects that deleting those files could cause to the device... I have factory reset my phone at least 5 times hopping that the deleted files would come back.... but they did not.
My problems are that whenever I pull up s-voice, I comes up with a message saying, "Unfortunately, S-voice has stopped working". I tried re-installing it with files I found from this site but then it started saying that I could not connect to the network so that was a dead end. I also have messages when I do various tasks says, "Unfortunately, Samsung text-to-voice engine has stopped."
I really need help!!! I change my main language text to voice thing to google instead of samsung and that helped a little, but I still get the occasional message and s voice is completely broken. I saw that re installing chat on could help and i downloaded it because I think I may have deleted it, but it made absolutely 0 difference...
Please help!!! Thanks

I'm going to assume your on the MF3 firmware from AT&T. Unfortunately it's not going to come back at all right now. When and if they release something other than a root tool for the MF3, your not going to be able to do anything else with your device as of right now. You can try to take it a Samsung Experience Shop at a Best Buy and see if they will recovery your phone. They indeed do have the capability and has been confirmed here on XDA that they can do it. My suggestion is to sweet talk them.
I had a similar 'voice' error at some point in time when I was toying with freezing some Samsung functionalities. It was several months ago to remember exactly what I did to resolve it but maybe this will help. Go to Settings - My Device tab, scroll down to Language and input, select it, then scroll down to the Speech section. Click on Voice recognizer and make sure it's set to Google. In the Text-to-speect options, click on it and make sure that is also listing Google.
I can't guarantee it''s the fix for your issue but hopefully it will help you troubleshoot.

Experienced the same issue, heres how I resolved it.
While changing the TTS to Google helps, it's still impossible to use S Voice with audio response and the error messages will still pop.
One option, would be flash the stock ROM: but this would be killing a fly with a shotgun. Second option, get Titanium Backup Pro, then go to the app "Samsung text-to-speech engine" click and hold on it and select "Convert to user app"; then wait for the app to be converted to a user app.
Restart your phone; and go reset the TTS to Samsung engine and voila you've got a happy droid.
PS. after selecting the Samsung engine it'll prompt you to download the high quality TTS voices (Eng(UK) is around 110mb).
I would suggest you freeze next time and not delete. I'm a noob too. I think I read that deleting them frees up no more space because of the odexing as well.

Wise words right there. Freeze let's you experience deletion but keep a fallback. And if you dirty flash rom updates, you get to keep the stuff frozen that would have been replaced.
Freezing is the way to go but maybe delete if you're staying with the rom for the long term and see no ill effects after long term freezing...
.
if problem still persists. try safestrap and install mdob rom. pretty much stock tw without the crap from att or samsung. use that until stock is flashable. you not even want to go back its very battery efficient.

To my view i guess there is no way right now to bypass it in our device since that is the main reason CWM won't boot due to this messy feature bootloader is locked...
SM-G7109 bought in China without Google Services
Hi. I'm new here.
I recently bought Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 SM-G7109 in China (China Telecom).
To my surprise, it doesn't have any Google services pre-installed
I went to the shop and the staff somehow installed Gmail on it. So I have all the contacts now
The staff also installed Play Store but it doesn't work. It doesn't crash but it responses as if there's no connection
I also noticed that Calendar won't sync no matter how many times I try to sync manually.
It gives an error message, "unfortunately calendar has stopped".
Gmail seems to be syncing somehow but not so often...
If possible, I want all the Google services work normally.
I searched on the internet but can't find a good solution.
Will the method using the files like "com.android.vending-3.1.3-signed.apk" work for my device?
If you have any advice, I would really appreciate it.
Network Disconnecting Problem
Hi
I brought a Grand 2 last month in the showroom I did not check it with two sims I had put only one sim. Now when I am putting in the second sim the and chose the network mode to WCDMA & GSM auto connect or WCDMA then the internet as well as the network keeps on disconnecting off and on. But in the GSM mode every thing works fine. I went to the service center twice but it did not help. I changed the sim cards as well as the sim slots but nothing worked. Can any one please help me out? I will be very grateful and thankful for it. This has upset me a lot. Once again thanks in advance.

I tried "com.android.vending-3.1.3-signed.apk" but it didn't work, either.
I also noticed Google Map also doesn't work.
It's so frustrating not to have Google services on an Android phone...
Anyone can help me out?

Thank you for your reply. But I think my phone(SM-G7109) can not be rooted yet. Besides, I already have Gmail the shop staff installed for me.
Is there any way Google Store, Google Map, Google Calendar to work normally without root? Thank you.

Your device is supported for Google Play see here https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1727131?hl=en
Just search in Google for Google Play apk file and download it and install it... Once google play starts to work everything will start to work..

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I know it should be supported, but since it's sold in China (China Telecom Model), No Google service is pre-installed. And I did try installing Google Play apk file but it didn't work, just as I mentioned before, it continues to show "retry" button as if there's no internet connection.

Hello Bro...
That's Samsung Problem They put so much bloatwares due to which performance will be effected...Clean the RAM and Background application before you start the game...that might solve to certain extant... Sometimes even updates can cause issues with Games Compatibility... See weather internal memory is Low?? if it is then it might cause problems these are some tips.. Most issue can be solved by Rooting since we can remove bloatwares...
I Hope this Helps Bro....
Good Luck....
