ive accidently locked my phone when i messed up with the pin code
not a single phone lock, its the lock that you see when you open Settings -> Phone, and you make "v" this square over there.
what do i do to unlock it?
please help me!
thanks in advance.
Very Easy
Call your provider and they will show you how to unlock it......I did this too a long time ago....as soon as you get through it should only take a few minutes...I promise....just tell them that you accidently locked your sim card and they will know what to do>>>.
Peace

Hiya
I bought a Touch HD off ebay which was an orange original unit but was unlocked so I could use any sim in it. However, two weeks into buying it and it started to vibrate as soon as I switched it on. I contacted HTC who replaced the whole of the internal boards and sent it back to me. i got it back this morning and now its asking me for a sim unlock code??? I get a white screen saying the network is locked and a long box in which to put an unlock code.
Is there any way I can re-unlock the phone without putting this code back in or do you think I'm going to have to ask HTC for a code???
thank you very much for any advice given

Well first of all, all Touch HD's vibrate when they are switched on, but I assume you mean it kept doing it and wouldn't stop with yours or something. And secondly I'm sure HTC won't give you an unlock code to re-unlock your phone as you say it is an Orange branded device, but it's worth asking them. If they won't help you then your only options are to take it to a shop to have it unlocked, or do it yourself at home via one of the many unlock websites. You'll have to pay for these options though.
Hiya
thanks for the reply
Ive sussed that it is indeed been relocked back to orange. The have apparently sent me a new replacement phone so I will have to get it unlocked( tried an orange cheepo sim this morning and didnt get the request for a code)
I cant believe I didnt think about it properly but Im that up to my eye balls with assignments and essays for uni my mind has been all over the place this past few weeks LOL
I was wondering if the unlock software from Oilpro might do the trick. Ive priced locally and it means being without the phone for four days and paying......35 quid to unlock it.
Back in the day when I had my SP3100 the software was free but I realise that I havent been a really active member on the forum- mainly because you guys are so damned brainy and I dont feel I have anything to contribute like you do. Give me a camera and I can talk for days( am a tog doing a ba hons degree in photography) but phones and techy stuff about roms....well, Im at a loss. Maybe thats a course I should take next LOL
anyway, thank you for the reply. Much appreciated.
I'll try to find somewhere to get the unlock software at a reasonable price.

forgot to say that it did indeed vibrate all the time when switched on( and got damned hot too) but that has now been sorted with a new phone.....
I did the OliPro way and it was easy to do. One of the cheapest options too I think.
Just tried to buy the unlock software from oliopro's site and tried to use paypal and it wont let me pay via that method. Its asking me to create an account and give my credit card details...
I'm not willing to give any details like that ATM and my money is tied up in a paypal account too.
If Oliopro is reading this any help gratefully received.

Hi,
Need a bit of help!
Have attempted to unlock my phone using this guide... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395945
But I get to the radio update stage, and the phone wont complete the upgrage.
So I took the phone to a phone shop locally and they had the same problem. They said the best option was to get an unlock code from HTC direct and that should unlock it.
Picked the phone up the other day and was told that HTC couldnt provide a code for my phone.
Phoned T-Mobile who were able to provide an unlocking code, went to turn the phone on with another sim inside and get a message saying that the incorrect code has been entered 6 times and I have to wait for timeout. How long does it take to time out?!
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Hello,
My friend lost her Galaxy S4. The phone had the screen lock on. If she calls it, can the person who finds it answer it or does he need to unlock the phone first? and if so, what can be done?
Thanks!
LE:found out the answer in the meantime.. it's yes, you can answer w/o entering the code.

Does it have internet connection? If so, try this: https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager
This will pinpoint the phone location.
Thank you! Will try it out!
Hey guys,
I work in a shop and like two weeks ago one girl lost her S3 Neo there, as she never came back I would like to find her to return the phone. But I can't access to any info bcs phone is locked. Is there any way to remove password without performing hard reset? If i do that, she will lose all her data and is is highly unlikely that I will find something on her phone to identify her.
Also I have her SIM and and I'm going to try with her service provider if they have any information about her.
Thanks,

Can't you get the sim out, put it in another phone and call someone in her contacts list to let them notify her?
Sent from my GT-I9301I
Good idea!!

That won't work if the sim card is locked, though. And does anyone even copy contacts to the sim card anymore?
