FIRST OF ALL you did not forget your password u found the phone and there is a password on the phone and there is a way to break that password but i hope no one tells you how to do it
anyway you should call up the provided carrier and return the phone to the user that lost it. finding a lost phone and using it is just as bad as stealing it yourself
and if you forgot the 4 digit password that you claim that you made you shouldn't even have a pda cause if you are that forgetfull even if we tell you how to do it you would probably forget how to do it
no one help this guy

Most Likely QFT! If you are legitimate, then you should call your carrier (Cingular) and they will probably walk you through hard-resetting your phone. Assuming you are legit, AND you are asking this question, there is a problem with these phone being stolen and resold. Again, Call the carrier and have the phone returned to it's rightful owner.
just how in the hell you know i found the phone ... dont ****ing assume ... by the way ... i don't have to called the carrier. and I got instructions on how to ****ing hard reset from my pda manual... stop ****ing accusing of stealing people phone you ****ing retard *****!. how the **** do i have the ****ing manual if i stole people's phone.
yea... i talking to both of you mother ****er!

CURSING will get you nowhere and being you are getting all defensive it shows u did find/steal it so yeah
hard reset will do nothing
and cingular knows what imei you have also
This could be a valid question. I don't generaly use the lock funtion on my Wizard (MDA) but I do remember my freind was checking out my phone and decided to lock it with his own password as a joke thinking I would immediatly see it and we would have a laugh.
I instead put in in my pocket and didn't use it till we separated.
Then upon trying to make a phone call, could not.
I had to wait a day till I got a hold of him because I didn't want to reset and lose all my info.

Ehhh... I'm not saying either way just playing Devils Advocate.
I personaly use a total of 4 different passwords for almost everything in my life but there are those people that need a different PW for everything/Day/Week/etc.
If I found a wizard and wanted to steal it and not do the right thing i would have been a bit more creative about my back story. Then again criminals are usually stupid.....
I had my wizz stollen
But Cell phone tower's give lost of information & trust me that person was not to trilled when I found them 2day's later @ starbuck's on Astor Place LOL
He got NYC style Hot CUP OF ASS KICKING. Yes I ****ED him up not playing Son.
back to the topic
PS I myself l have 15 different PWD I use.
& being a security professional for 13yr's that Story form that Fool is
WEAK he's lucky he didn't leave his IME number on there turn that Fool
& I would personlay Rat his ass out for a beat down.
yeah I said it A Beat Down
PS IMIE data is alway saved on the sim card most Carries' don't use there Cell Site data to track that: PS 911 FCC DX code's data are publicly available.
Hard Resetting the phone will get rid of the password. I did it on my friends MDA.

I love that pic! It never fails to crack me up...
user's password
Guys/Girls,
well,
I have the same problem, password, but I didn't forget it
I bought it from ebay, as a damaged/broken pda.
I can give the details of my purchase in private to any one who wants to investigate.
I agree with you all in being protective.
Well,
The seller doesn't know the password, since it's not his own, but he's just a big re-seller on ebay, so I don't think he stole it.
It has a cracked LCD, so I got one, and installed it, but then got this password !!!
The seller didn't mention this cause he didn't know, since it was only lightning up.
So,
how to release this lock?
I tried the hard-reset from other posts (power+...+...) but it didn't work.
Any help ?
Thanks to all.
Try another Hard reset again, or a reflash with the OEM Rom for that phone.
would it hard reset itself if you take the main battery and the backup battery out. I am looking into getting a phone from ebay that is password protected too...
thanks

Hmm, will try this out. Battery life has been abysmal anyway (or maybe the guage is not accurately reporting) and was thinking about getting some cheapies on eBay anyway.

Do you have sound enhancer installed?? if so that might causing the problem, there is some kinda bug when using sound enhancer on mango, although not confirmed by as I don't have that problem.

Well did the battery pull suggestion and all yesterday played music and it did not happen again. Heard about the Sound Enhancer issue, but i don't think i installed it in Mango, though i did notice it in NoDo before i flashed Mango. Battery life is abysmal though on this HD7 i have to say.

Good news
please keep in your mind that battery and also the charger is very important for smartphones
Well couldn't deal with the HD7 anymore, sold it and found a deal on a Samsung Focus (< $150). Yes i know, no 3G on Tmobile (or Simple Mobile) only EDGE, but it's much lighter, much better battery life and the screen is very nice. Unlocked and popped in my Simple Mobile SIM. This will tide me over till the new devices come out in the fall.

Current US T-Mobile HD7 ROM
I have a T-Mobile US HD7 that has been upgraded to the 7.5 version through Zune.
I want to try some of the new ROMs that are out that have Internet Sharing files.
I want to be able to go back to the version of ROM that is currently on my phone.
Does this build allow me to do that?
If I have problems with some of these other ROMs; I want to be able to get back to stock ROM.
OK, This is really irritating me. Let me start by saying that none of the special functions are enabled. Such as smart stay/motions and gestures/air view/dexteritity and interaction (ARE ALL OFF) I've restarted the phone. Cleared the cache by shutting off phone and holding power+volume up+home button. The phone is the verizon SM-G900V running version 5.0 The phone is NOT rooted. I don't have any third party applications that have them special features enabled. I'm at a loss of what is causing this. Any ideas? I'm trying to avoid a factory reset.
Factory reset?

Mature response...
You realise that's kinda your last option right? - Instead of posting childish pictures of star trek, why not stop and consider it for a moment, you seem to think you have tried everything else
But if you know better...
I think my response fits. I said in my original post trying to avoid factory reset. And then you come back with factory reset? As if I didn't just mention I know that's an option that I'm trying to avoid.. I didn't say I tried everything. I said I tried all I know. Doesn't mean someone on here might not have an idea that I don't know of. Way to make me out to be the bad guy for replying to your first sarcastic response though.
Your response fits on a forum for 5 year olds, not XDA
You have already stated you have disabled ALL gestures etc, and cleared caches, so the only thing left is a bug in the OS (or a rogue app, which no doubt you have checked...) - which a factory reset 'should' fix
and if it doesn't - you know it's a hardware fault
Suck it up, we have to reset our phones sometimes to fix bugs
You really don't hear yourself talking do you? I belong on a forum for 5 year olds? Yet you took the first stab. Logic. Oh well. No sign of intelligent life here. I'm out.
Umm.. I suggested a factory reset, you posted a childish image...
Who took the first stab?
Anyway, good idea, doesn't sound like you're ready for these forums if your 2nd post is a meme...

just try reset dude, just backup your data because that is your last option, well this is xda and not a forum for meme, please don't use that picture to respone...
Without being rooted you may find it difficult to sort this issue. Even rooted finding the cause could be problematic. I doubt anyone has spent the time and effort to fix such issues, when a factory reset is much easier, apart from setting up everything again.
Maybe try enabling and disabling all "extra" functions. If that doesn't work, try clearing the cache and dalvic after doing this. Else try flashing the same firmware you are using with no wipes, should keep all data intact. Maybe try a cache wipe when doing so.
Factory reset could be an option though, but it's understandable you don't want to go that route because without root backing up your data could be an issue. Best of luck.
Thanks for the real answer. I've never flashed without rooting in the process etc. I used Odin when I did it. Is it actually possible without root? I mean I'd love to have root on this. But it seems like the bootloader is still locked and I figure it will be for another couple of months until marshmallow rolls out. But yeah back to what you said. Not even sure where I'd get the firmware from for this exact s5 since a lot of versions exist from what I hear. But I'll turn on and off all the extra things then clear cache and dalvik. And then take battery out for a bit. Now that I read what you said again flash firmware without a wipe? I admit I didn't even know that was possible.
This happened to me and I managed to fix it very easily and believe it or not it also reduced battery use by almost 50%.
Below is a list of steps I took.
1. Take the battery out and after 10 secs put it back in with the phone off.
2. Put your phone back on and in safe mode.
3. In safe mode take out a cabbage from your fridge and put a leaf on the battery.
4. Now with the cabbage leaf on wrapped around the battery put it under your pillow when you sleep.
5. Repeat step 4 three more times every night.
6. After the third time the battery fairy will come and fix your phone with magic from the battery surprisingly
7. Boom your screen will no longer come on and a nice gift of saving 50% battery too.
Enjoy.

Google Search Samsung firmware this is where you'll find all the firmwares for the S5 . Downloads phone info from Play Store this will tell you what firmware you are currently running. I find you can flash with Odin and all your data is still there as long as you're using a matching firmware.
Hi guys, hope someone can help.
I've had my note 4 just over a year now and not had any problems at all. I've always had notes 1 2 and 3 and now 4.
Never bothered rooting the note 4.
So..... out the blue my phone starts restarting and freezing regular. I'm talking 15-20 times per day.
Got no idea why but got so frustrated that I restored phone back to factory settings and it's still doing it.
Anyone know why this might be.
I'm 90% sure it's not memory as I have a 64gig memory card in it. And don't actually have many apps downloaded.
I've cleared all cache as well via apps and also via the volume up power and home key method.
Please tell me someone knows what the problem is here as I did searches on Internet and many are having the samended problem.
After doing some research on older threads. I noticed few mentioning a fix when their removing their sim card so I gave this a try with little hope and amazingly it's worked. I've opened up around 10 different apps and really straining the phone. Not 1 force close, freeze or reboot.
So what on earth is going on here.
What is my EE chip doing to cause these freezes and restarts.
excuse me
What is your Note 4 model ???
Exynos or Snapdragon ??!!
Not sure where I get this info. My phone is not rooted.
But under model it says....... SM-N910F
Do you know what the problem might be?
Now for the really weird part.
As stated, when I remove the sim card the phone works perfectly. No lag or freezing or restarts.
So I don't some more investigating and added the sim back and removed the SD and still no lag freeze or restarts.
What on earth could be causing this issue. Whenever I have I have my sim and SD in together the phone goes wild and won't stay on without freezing or restarting.

Try deleting everything from microsd, and reformat it in other format, eg fat32
It's getting more and more strange. If I have both SD and sim card in the phone then it constantly freezes and then restarts but If I remove 1 of the 2 then the phone is fine. No problems with just sim or just SD. So I'm under the impression now that the sim and SD between each other are causing problems.
N910G (stock, unrooted) here, exactly the same thing.
So I factory reset it, now and its still doing it. with or without the sim or microSD
I also notice that provided i keep the screen active it operated fine, the moment i let it sleep i started getting issues.
the device is pretty much a semi brick now
I think I found a solution to this issue since my phone has been experiencing the same thing. I would credit the OP that posted this solution as soon as I find where I got the information from. But anyhow, much like your phone my Note 4 N910T started to lockup/freeze/reboot. This lockup and freezing would occur mostly when I power my screen on and proceed to unlock it.
Step 1. Download Wake Lock from the Play Store
Step 2. Enable Partial_Wake_Lock and set it to number 4
Step 3. Enable Auto-Start
This has fixed my issue with the random freezes, but my battery drains slightly faster.
I have been having issues lately, too! Also a N910F model.
A couple months ago the device was acting weird and being real slow with loading photo's and stuff that was stored on the MicroSD. So I removed the MicroSD and the problem seemed to be gone.
After a couple weeks the device began acting like the Topic Starter is describing. Note, I was running custom roms and thus was rooted. So I thought I messed something up. So I backed everything up, wiped the Note 4 completely with TWRP, then I went to install the latest odin *.tar.md5 file and the device seemed to be acting normal again.
Then after a couple days it would act up again!!! So I decided to keep the Note 4 off for a while and use my Galaxy S5 instead I still have laying around. This means I switched the SIM card from Note 4 to S5.
But then I missed the bigger display and the S-pen. So I tried again.... doing a full wipe via the stock recovery and install, again, the latest odin tar file. That is running fine for like 3 days now so I hope it will stay finally okay now.
If it starts acting up again I might temporarily use the Galaxy S5 again or start thinking about buying a S7 Edge or wait for the Note 6 to pop up..
UPDATE:
due to my 13month old note 4 constantly freezing and restarting. I decided to root the phone and also add a 32gig memory card to try and free up some space. Also bought a new genuine Samsung battery after believing my battery was causing issues.
Well I was wrong.
Battery has been changed, moved lots of apps across to SD and also cleaned up loads of junk yet the freezing and restarts continue to happen.
I have no idea what it causing these freezes and restarts but I'm starting to lose patience with this phone.
Here are some pics....

Anyone have any ideas???
took my phone to a shop and the guy told me it's defo the mother board, he said many note 4 owners have this problem after a year or so, but also told me that samsung give out a 2 year warranty, but the problem is, i'm now rooted, so not sure what to do now.
phone is restarting and freezing every 10mins and i'm on the verge of smashing the thing off a brick wall.
if anyone thinks they can help, please get back to me asap.
Well I got sick of it and traded it in for a Nexus 6p (with full disclosure of the problems).
While I miss one hand mode and the stylus and the removable battery, God damn but the Nexus 6p craps all over the note 4 for performance! This thing is super snappy!

There's not much else you can do I reckon. Either let the guy repair it or repair it yourself.
That sucks though, I hope it doesn't happen to me.
problem is, he told me he cant fix it, as a new motherboard will cost me almost the same amount as a new note 4. not worth doing.
he basically told me to unroot my phone and put original rom back on and just take it to Samsung and prey they don't check it.
not sure what Samsung procedure is but i got a feeling its not going to end well.

Mine is a N910C model (Exynos) and is totaly innoperate. After turn it on it shows the first logo screen and freezes. Sometimes it keeps looping on this screen and not go ahead. I've tryed new firmware, resets, wipes and nothing. Is there someone that knows what I shoud do besides throw it away?
Having them same problem with my note 4 I've had it for a year and 3 months now. About ready to dump it in the toilet! What does it mean to have your phone rooted? Really want to fix it as a new phone is not in my budget
My phone is freezing and restarting ever since the 6.0.1 update failed once, I got it to go through finally but it hasn't been good. I've tried erasing and loading new OS through smart switch and it's still having problems. Should I try a custom firmware?

Used iCareFone for WhatsApp Transfer to transfer chats from my old phone (iPhone) to my new phone (OnePlus) and now the "Google" settings item appears weird.
I think that's how to fix it ... Is it really necessary to restore?
Or after the arrival of the update on Android 12 all should be normal?
Mine is the same. Google must want to differentiate themselves I guess

I've been having that issue as well, since before the update. Freaked me out at first because I rebooted like 20+ times and it still had no IMEI, SIM or WiFi. Finally I decided to reboot it via holding the power button down long enough to force a shutdown that way, upon restarting I had WiFi and mobile service immedately.
Randomly ever since my SIM remains undetected for about 30 seconds and eventually kicks in but WiFi doesn't.
Holding the power button down long enough to force shutdown seems to always fix it for me.
Next time it happens, if it happens, give that a try.

Very interesting. I have attempted this method but unfortunately have not had the same result as you. I've now at this point lost all ability to detect ANY sim card, and am actually in the process of taking the phone apart to inspect the pins themselves, even though the scratch marks are consistent and it appears as though they are getting a good solid contact. Wish me luck!

Do you have an IMEI still? First time it happened to me and I rebooted 10+ times it didn't have IMEI at all. And I doubt it's a pin issue, I never eject my sim card tray and if you haven't been messing with it then it can't have gotten damaged

I do again but it still refuses to connect to a network. It feels software related at this point but I still have not figured it out. Still trying to bypass the tmobile locked oem unlock (I am not qualified for them to unlock it)

You don't need to unlock sim to unlock bootloader, there is a modified msm tool you can use. What's different is that the boot.img doesn't work which allows you to do the critical unlock then flash the working stock boot.img
My advice though, use the older one with the crossed out links. The newest one causes device to identify as a 7T. The older one works just as good and identifies as hotdogg/hd1925 properly.

If you meant SIM unlock then no. There is literally no way around that. There was a guy who was doing unlocks if you were in the service for as little as 3 days but the forum has been "temporarily" shutdown for 3 months now.

Yea i've been following for about a year but i'm not one to give up lol. Theres another guy who made a tool that uses your IMEI and it generates the oneplus token, I've actually gotten it to work for ten minutes but forgot what I was doing in the process. I'm searching now again out of bordom but I believe it was something it unlocked in the factory test mode that manually bypassed the t-mobile oem lock as though we were a technician, but It has been a while and i could have missunderstood. I am new to rooting but feel like I have learned this device down to its bones at this point. Thank's Ubuntu-In-Termux for a great fake root.
