I gladly paid for mine.

Payment server
I was going to pay for it too. But I don't trust their payment server. I should be allowed to use Paypal and not need to enter my personal information again. So sorry Bud but I don't trust a method where I log into Paypal, and then get sent to a window where I need to enter my address, my phone number etc.. doesn't feel trustworthy. I have never had to enter my information after I used Paypal for something and I am not about to start.
I guess I'll go back to sensor lock and just have to fix the code to allow the phone to answer. I would have supported his effort but not if I need to re-enter my personal stuff that Paypal has confirmed. :
OH SNAP!! I just realized it removed my outlook email account on my device and keeps crashing SQB. I don't think anyone should install it. Seriously this program is malicious code somewhere

Well it is not our server, its from www.2CO.com (a CC procesing company). If you don't trust them, just contact them and ask but don't try to discredit us with that kind of comments.

Impossible.
Check out any other program you have installed.
(Shame this has to be my 1st post here.)

No way!

...definitely no malicious code in PocketShield. This is one of the best locking apps available. Customer support is second-to-none. Updates come thick and fast with new options and settings. Superb software - just buy it!

I second that pocketshield is an excellent app and have experienced no malware-like effects

has anyone come across an issue with it not locking when waking up?
Mine stopped working and now doesn't lock unless I run the Lock app.

Make sure you have latest v2.1.1
If power off with AeButton or other way not the standard power off, it might not lock.
regards

mine locks very well, but i suggest asking for help @ pocketshield.net there u can speak directly with the developer ..

Pocketshield ROCKS! and the developer has been super-responsive to enhancement/bug reports.

Uninstalling pocketshield
I installed Pocketshield on my phone, then uninstalled it because it was making my phone crash and ending up with a blank screen that was impossible to take out, and now, the phone skin is changed to the theme that comes with Pocketshield. I removed the program, but I can't go back to the original phone skin that comes with the HTC Diamond. How can I go back to original settings without doing a hard reset?

HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled=1
Softreset
Where you using the official and latest version? Rare issue...

Tnx u are a lifesaver. I had the same problem, dld new version ystrday.
Tnx again

Have you gone through the settings?
I have an HD2 as well and no problems! and so my fellows who recommended it to me.

Pocket Shield
I have tried both Pocket Shield Protector and Pocket Shield Proximity used in conjunction with VolumeX.
I have tried nearly every possible combination of settings to achieve what I need and I always seem to hit one snag or another.
I originally purchased Pocket Shield Protector and VolumeX. When my blue tooth answer button stopped working I switched to Pocket Shield Proximity and Jim was nice enough to switch my registration from the more expensive Protector application to the less expensive Proximity application. I have since asked Jim to move my registration back to the Protector application but he hasn't as of yet.
In general this is a good application, however, it lacks polish on the basic functionality.

[Q] Fingerprint doesn't recognise my fingerprint and forgot my password..

Long story short...i setup a fingerprint a few weeks back, didnt use it for a while and now I want to delete it.
Except now my phone refuses to recognise my fingerprint no matter which way i swipe it...
on top of that i'm retarded and forgot the alternate password too.
Is factory resetting the only way?
EDIT: Fingerprint is not set as my passcode, I just have it registered. My passcode is a separate PIN code.

Oh thanks, I don't mean I can't get into my phone.
I have a separate PIN code set as my passcode and I have a fingerprint that is registered that I want to delete, but to delete the fingerprint I need the alternate password, which i have forgotten lol. When I swipe it many times and it fails, it just asks me for the alternate password.

Only way I can think of is if you have a custom recovery installed enter it and factory reset or something.

Oh i see what you mean now..
for now all i can think of is factory reset.. will try to find out..
Thanx
Update: I found this. But i dont know if this also removes the alternative password.. i just located my phone but i cant check anything else
cause im at work.. need my phone..
go online to android device manager log in with your google log in wait till it locates your phone u then click to lock your device it asks you for a new password. It over rides whatever password or lock feature u have on it. Then you get phone type the new password and boom problem solved.

Be advised--if you have registered fingerprints, perform a full/data Nandroid, and later restore, your fingerprints and alternate password may no longer work. The effect is the same as what the OP experienced. It seems like the only way to resolve the issue at this time is to reset.
This problem also affects the Note 4 and Edge. See thread here:

I am offering in the general Q/A forum $25 for anyone who comes up with a method to wipe/clear/delete the fingerprint registration when the registered fingerprints and alternate/backup passwords don't work.

A friend of mine is in real trouble. She bought her s5 for christmas and travelled. She took amazing photos and made National Geographic material videos, including of melting glaciers. when she was on a cruise for the new year, the phone locked her out due to the fingertip lock. The worse part: She wasn´t using it, when she got it from her coat pocket it was already locked. When she went to the Samsung store they told her to do a Hard Reset since the option to unblock with the google id wasn´t appearing. Before I found out that maybe she could´ve tried to unlock with samsumg lost my phone or google remote she did the reset and lost all her stuff. Tried 3 different recovery apps and all of them requires rooting. Not only we´re not confident enough, she wants to return it to Samsung and rooting voids the warranty. Is there any other way?
I even thought about taking the phone to a computer assistance to see if they can do something

Pattern and fingerprint unlock in the lockscreen?

Hi,
As we all might know, the s5 fingerprint scanner doesn't always get it right. There is a option on the screen to input a password, but i would prefer to have a pattern instead of a password.
So my question is: is there a way (like a mod), to make the pattern unlock available with the fingerprint scanner and have it visible(meaning, without having to press the option to input pattern)? So basicly we would have to authentication methods and choose the one that is more covinent, but basicly its when the scanner fails 2 or 3 times i would just like to use the pattern right away to unlock
I haven't seen anyone metion, or even making a request for a mod like this, but maybe there is one out there that i don't know about or a way to do it, or maybe more people will show interest in it.
I would look into it or try if i knew anything about code/programming =/
Thank you in advance!

bump to the extreme

That'd be a good mod. 2 options on screen. Sometimes it's a pain juggling the handset to get the print.

Thats what i was thinking. I have had a few problems getting the print to work sometimes and then have to wait 30sec :/ it can work fine(better than i expectes actually) but if not in proper angule or speed it can fail.
I havent seen anyone mention something like this before, but im glad to see that there is interest

[q] zte zmax pro frp bypass?

So I bought a ZTE ZMAX PRO from ebay but the guy didn't mention he still had his google account linked. So when I boot up the phone I get welcomed by the FRP screen. I text the guy and tell him all the problems but he doesn't reply unfortunately. I've tried almost every possible way to bypass the FRP screen but nothing works. I wanted to know what other ways are available so I am able to actually use this phone.

Sorry it took so long to reply, and I'm sure you've already found an answer to this problem, but there is no method currently to bypass FRP. If the seller will not work with you on the issue, I would contact e-Bay and explain the situation. Worst case scenario, you should get a refund from eBay. Hopefully your issue is resolved by this time, or if not, that this helps to resolve it.

How much did you pay for it? I bought mine in metropcs store near me brand new for $122 after tax and everything. This is my fave phone by far. The VR experience in this phone is the awesomest. I would follow the advice of the other poster. I had been a victim of a lying seller too it was on amazon though. I can sell you my samsung on5 if you like? It is in working condition. VERY slightly used. With very slightly used case.

As many have probably already found out there is currently no known proceedure to bypass the FRP on the Zmax Pro If there is then it has not been posted anywhere on the web as of yet...I know this because I have one that is google FRP locked and have read every article and watched every video available and have tried every method out there for every zte phone and nothing works so for the guy or gal out there who does have a method for bypassing the Google FRP I would very much appreciate if you would share it with me I can be reached at [email protected] Please send me any info or links regaurding this issue that will allow me to open this phone ASAP Thanking whoever in advance...

If your phone is 'legit', then the legit way to bypass FRP is either call google, call ZTE and/or call where you bought your phone right? All you need is RECEIPT and they will help you solve your FRP.
I do know the 'pride' you feel though after bypassing FRP yourself. I felt that when I bypass FRP myself on my samsung galaxy ON5. Eventhough I already contacted Samsung and Google and they already gave me an RMA number.
Not worth the headache though. After I bypass FRP on my Samsung, I ditched it and bought Zmaxpro.
It made me not mess with brand new phones though. Guys it really is NOT worth the headache.
At the very least, if you want to mess with these new phones. Research FIRST, if there is an FRP bypass method for it, if not then, why give yourself a headache and an expensive paper weight really?

because you can find em cheaper used.. i bought one frp locked for 40$ but cant bypass it lol its a clean phone and i bought on offerup knowing it was locked..
i also searched before hand and theres 2 methods, one using swyft keyboard the other using dictionary in google keyboard..
however, latest update makes those methods useless..
why post if youre not going to help? telling someone they shouldnt have bought it after the fact is irrelevant..
does anyone know what FTM mode is used for? or if theres any stock firmware images that can be flashed somehow to rollback the security updates?

LOL. I am not telling YOU, but anyone who care to read it. But why would I even bother telling you ANYthing when you did exactly the same in galaxy ON5? Right? you are hopeless case, buying FRP locked phones coz it's cheap then posting on all forums for solution. well then enjoy the headache.
I actually had a deja vu when I read your thread on the other forum. Just sayin..
Guess I am going to the other forum coz zmaxpro has a LOT of love on there. Even have a root thread going on.
I kind of hope they won't be able to root though, For my selfish reason that I really will keep my zmaxpro as long as I can and want it to be remain stock as long as it can for security reasons.
I want to tell on the other forum why they feel the need to root new phones when it already has all the features root gives you. I really am puzzled.

I guess we agree to disagree. I unfortunately can't help with your FRP bypass coz I don't think I will put myself in that situation ever again. And that's the difference between you and me. I guess, good luck?

ok folks, i found a way on youtube on how to bypass the google lock but it needs to be done on each reboot until we can find a way to install apks.. its saying its not allowed

FRP bypass. Works.
There's a video on this page that shows you how to do it. The guy doesn't say anything in the video so you just have to pay close attention to everything he does and repeat it exactly. I've had a ZMAX PRO that was frp locked for over 2 months. I followed every step closely and now I'm finally able to use it. This really works. Email me at [email protected] and I'll send you the link. They won't let me post it here because I'm a new user.

Tried it works but a lengthy process..its very simple by skipping few steps.......this is what i did and unlocked like a charm...
1) Press two finger on the screen prompting the language option and start...it should open the accesiblity option..click on exit.
2) then try gestures in the screen with an inverted "U" .....it should open the recent app list...(it needs few attempts)
3) on the top of the screen type stock..it will show stock android ...launch it....
4) go to settings ...go down which needs two fingers to swipe down as the accessibility option are still open it...disable the talk back on the accessibility options.
5) go to settings ..apps..on the corner right up..click on system apps..then drag down ..go to lookup apps which needs to force stop and disable..
6) go to settings again go to security ..enable the unknown source option.
7) go to home screen back by recent app button or home screen (Home screen button some time might not work)and open chrome browser...search for test dpc apk...download and install the latest test dpc apk...
8) once installed open the apk ..select as individual owner .1st option then next..then click on add account this will redirect it to adding account which will prompt the google old ID again..
9) click on recent app option and go to settings again ..go backup & Reset ..erase everything...which should reset the phone..by restarting and the ID is gone...(make sure your battery is above 30% inorder to reset.
10) Once reset the phone is set as new device without an ID.
!!!!!!Bingo its done..!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed its your method and i have just worked on your method..without ADM and disabling the Accessibility by going to taptalk option. for me it didnt ask anything as i first disabled the lookup which should stop the Admin request.
All credit goes to you..

Good job guys . The old FRP trick might have been lengthy but boom you got it working. 2 thumbs up.

Does this work on z982

Could you send me that link please

Missing fingerprint reader

Does anybody know how apps that use your fingerprint to login will be dealing with the situation that there is no longer a fingerprint reader on the pixel?
Thanks
Nick

Face unlock.

Hi @sic0048,
Thanks for your answer. This is exactly what I presumed. I was wondering if any apps which are now using fingerprints for logging in, will work straight out of the box. Or will the app developers have to program in support for face unlock. In other words will for example banking apps work directly after the pixel4 is released or will one have to wait till these apps (and it is quite a few) are updated.
bye
nick

I'm not a developer, but my guess is that the unlocking is always handled by the phone, regardless of method. The app is told when it is unlocked, not how. So I suspect it will work out of the box.

The API will probably be a generic biometric check which could be fingerprint, face, voice or whatever. It would be over complicated to specify a particular type, rather that the secure service in Android trusts the process used. There is a section in security for trusted services

An exposed mod allows you to trick all apps into using face unlock. If your OK with rooting your phone then the problem is solved.
