my phone is al alltel HTC touch and i had it flashed or "converted" to another company that also offers internet but every time i go and create a new network i fill in everything but it doesnt work... i went back to check and i always find that the password for the network is always a different number of characters than the one i put it.. The company gave me a 10-digit password and after i change it it afterwards appears as a 16- digit password.. i have tried many things.. i looked for settings and program files and dont know how to fix it.. wouldnt it be better if i could delete all the altell software from the phone? can i do that? its not alltel anymore anyway..
thank you!!

You don't make a whole lot of sense here, but that particular PW always shows longer than it really is, has nothing to do with your "conversion"
your new carrier should have an official ROM. Maybe you can try flashing to that. Remember to back up your info first.
they dont have one... is there a way for me to change the ROM myself? or change the settings on the phone?

I hope for your sake that you really entered your gmail account the very first thing you did with the phone? Otherwise you have a hardreset on your hands.
Certainly,
Otherwise It want be able to synchronize with my Calendar, Mail and Contacts from google account. And he did done it...
Any idea how to roll-back to the pattern screen?
Sorry to not be able to help but how many times is too many?
About 10/15 i think... Maby some more...
It should be in user manual

you might also try to input the wrong simcard PIN, PIN2, PUK and PUK2 (don't know if they call it like that everywhere...) too many times to see what happens. Its even better to know how you simcard works ;-)
just kidding, but i would actually just browse the net in order to check this kind of security locks instead of going full ahead and try it on my own device
I haven't been that adventurous myself to see what will happen if I get the unlock pattern wrong three times in a row but I have read that after those three times you will get a chance to enter your login information (login&pass) to validate your account information with Google... what happens then I have no idea of...

How bored were you?
Tested one more time - i'm already afret HR.
[nice one: Android Market displayed long time a go installed apps]
no need to remember what whas the name of app that does (...) did't know...
ok:
After 5x wrong input device locks for 30sec.
Then You need to make a mistake 10x and wait 30sec. more.
15x is the third limit... again 30sec.
then it locks it self for 30sec. every time when pattern is bad.
But there is no warning message at all :/
No gmail login authorisation.
Dont know why...

Hello!
I have a problem with my hd 2.
Somehow I activated the phone lock, i'm not sure how it happened, as I know where the setting is and I don't recall activating it.
The problem is that I can't figure out how to deactivate it again (the check box "Prompt if phone unused for" is grayed out, can't uncheck it)
I can change the settings, like, how much time before it locks up or what password I want to use, but no disable.
I really don't want this phone lock to be activated so if anyone could tell me what to do to deactivate it i'd be most grateful!
Tried to search the forums for it but couldn't find anything.
Thanks!
try clearing the password fields, and changing the time to 0 minutes, and then see if it'll let you untick the box.
You can disable auto lock with BsB Tweaks. That's probably the easiest method.

MidnightDraven: thanks, I tried that but it won't let me clear the password field, just keeps saying that it's not allowed to keep it blank, even if I set the time to 0.....
johncmolyneux: I'll give it a go
Thanks both of you for replying

I tried out this application, and disabled the "auto lock" function, but I still get prompted when I reboot my phone, that I have to type in the phone lock code ?
Seems to have worked other than that....any other ideas as to how I can get rid of it completely ?
I don't know what to say mate. I just set mine to lock and require a pin, but it let me untick the "prompt if unused" checkbox and blanked out the password for me when I did it. It's now back to the way it was.
Have you installed any software recently?

Weird...
Well i'm using topix ROM which I got from these forums, and only other thing I have installed is the cab that makes the battery shown in %.
Could it be the topix ROM perhaps?

It's possible. Try raising the issue in the thread you got the ROM from. I'm sure someone else would have seen the issue if it is caused by that ROM.
Figured it out

Figured out why it got activated!
When I setup the exchange connection for my workplace must be some sort of security policy, that forces you to activate the phone lock if you want to sync the emails, can't find away around it, but at least the mystery is solved
Thanks again for your help!

Hi,
I Have the same issue with exchange.
But there is no other option to disable it? some reg modification?
Hi all,
I've just got my HD2 and it's the first Windows Mobile device I've synced with my exchange server. Had the same thing and it really bugged me but I found a work around. If you're an Exchange admin (or you're in good with those who are), Google search for Exchange-2003-Mobile-Messaging-Part2-Uncovering-Device-Security-Policies - use the first link. You can disable the requirement for a password globally, or you can specify an individual user to exclude from the password policy. I've just added my username in as an exclusion and it works like a treat!
Good luck
Hi Guys!!
I want to set "OWNER" in my Nexus 4.
Can somebody tell me how to set it??
What do you mean, set owner? You'll have to give us more detail than that!

Probably the "Owner" card when you pull down the notification bar and go to quick setting.
Click the card twice, and click edit.
Go into the People app, make sure there is a contact containing your information. Pull down the notification shade and select the quick settings icon (or pull down using two fingers). Press and hold the owner square (top left) and select the contact card.

klvnhng:- I have provided the snapshot. On pulling down the notification bar it shows "OWNER" icon, I want to add detail to it.
exb0:- Yes, you are right, but on clicking the icon twice it tells "The contact doesn't exists". Even if I have made a contact by "OWNER" name in my people list.
Please help guys.

im sure u wud have used a particular gmail id for logging in
create a contact with that email alone and tthen check that space..
i have my logging email as the owner
pls see if it helps..
if so let me know:victory:
Are you syncing contacts with Google? On my owner square it has my Google + profile picture. Maybe try setting up an account picture through that. I never even seen "owner" on my square, just my picture.

Yes you are right, I use a particular email for logging in.
"create a contact with that email alone", I didn't get you.
creating a contact with the email that I used to logging in, is it?

Hi,
Actually my cousin bought it for me from the US. And he started the mobile first.
So it didn't asked me for the "Owner" set up.
Please sort it out.

Are you signed into your Google account? That's where your phone gets the owner info (go to Settings - Accounts - Google).

After unrooting & setting my Nexus 4 backup, I skipped the part in the setup to add a owner of the device. After awhile trying different things, I managed to get my owner info back on the phone.
All you need to do is add your info to the People app, Then it will show in the notification area that you are the owner. Or you could sign into Google+ & your owner info will sync back to your phone.

Hi All,
A good friend of mine recently lost his wife to a very sudden illness, He approached me this morning with a question about her S8. The phone is locked with a PIN number which he doesn't know. Is there anyway to get into the phone? He want's to be able to retrieve any pictures & files that were not stored on the SD Card.
I suggested he take the phone to a local Samsung Service Center and explain his situation but I said I would ask here first to see if anyone can offer any advice.
Regards
Richard

If your friend has access to samsung or google account that was linked to her s8, he should be able to unlock her device with the "find my mobile" utility samsung provides. if its a google account, "find your phone" can set a desired password on the device and then just simply enter the password and unlock it.
also sorry for your friends loss, may she rest high up
