Does anyone know of a phone profile software, whereby the phone can be switched offline and switched back online WITHOUT having to constantly enter the PIN number.

Just go into the comm manager and set it to Airplane mode, and you'll switch it offline.

If the PIN is the security pin for the phone, then my understanding is that it will always be required when you switch the phone on. You could of course disable the Pin. Do you need to go offline or can yoiu just go on to silent - there a re a few profiles ssystems that allow you to go to slient mode but I find it easier simply to turn the volume down!
Looking for a software, where I do not have to input phone pin everytime.

Why do you need a separate software? When you dont want to enter PIN, just disable it!

Do do what? If you don't want the PIN then, as others have said, dissable it.
Or do you want some software that can magically detect when it is you using the phone and not ask for the PIN when it's you but only ask for it when it's someone else?

Now there's a thought....
OK, OK. I also have an N95 and when I go offline and return to online, there is no need to to enter a pin. Pin is only entered at the on off stage or when I re-boot the phone. Its handy to do this without disabling the PIN. From the smart-alec type respones, I gather there is no such software.

Insert your SIM card in another phone, and disable PIN protection.
That way the phone will boot. But other than that, I don't know if anything can be done...
Maybe solved

thnx for sim pin code tip, i forgot it is not the pone thet is locked but the sim
edit: this worked perfectly
Glad I helped a bit, and nice find that Screencast app!
I bought my Tablet S yesterday and applied the 4.0.3 OTA update overnight so I can't say whether it was caused by the update or not, but here's what happens:
My phone keeps reverting back to PIN unlock. I never set it to PIN unlock before, and even when I change it back to slide unlock, after a little while it'll be back to PIN unlock.
Hi poebae,
that's a strange bevaior. Since u just bought ur tablet I'd assume u dont have much on it by now. So I'd factory reset it and see if it'll solve my problem.
Outta curiosity, how the hell do you get back in your tablet if it sets a PIN code you dont know?
Are you syncing corporate email? Some companies configure the exchange server to require Android and iOS phones to add extra security and one of those security options is to require a PIN.
However, it should have alerted you and prompted you to set the PIN rather than just changing the setting.

I just used '0000'. I either got lucky and guessed the PIN that the original owner used (I bought it second hand), or that's some kind of default code.

Nope, not syncing corporate e-mail, but thank you for the suggestion!
If I take the SIM out, the device will boot and give me access to contents, (obviously, phone is off).
BUT if SIM is in, I cannot get past the pin input screen, and this is exactly what I want to do.
I want to be able to give the device to my son to i.e. read a pdf, but I do not want him to be making / answering calls on my SIM.
Sure, I can take it out, but do not want to if I do not have to. (I might lose it too!)
In other words, if no pin is entered, one must be able to use all but the phone on the device.
After all, the lock is for the SIM, not the device!

Is your device rooted? Not 100% sure if this will work but it's worth a try, I would recommend opening your build.prop and looking for the line that reads:
Code:
keyguard.no_require_sim=false
And changing that to:
Code:
keyguard.no_require_sim=true
Another option would be to use a parental controls app such as Smart AppLock to password protect the phone app, messaging, etc. preventing your son from having acess to these in the event that he navigates away from the pdf he was reading.

I can disable SIM pin request by going into settings BUT that is not the issue. If I do that, then the phone will be available.
I want the device to boot with the phone unavailable since no pin is entered.
REMEMBER WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SIM LOCK PIN, NOT SCREEN LOCK PIN.

There is another problem with this solution:
I have TWIN SIMS (2 sims with the same number); however, only one is allowed access to network. If the devices that the sims are installed are both on, then none of the sims is allowed access to network. (The idea being, if you have 2 phones, you do not swap sim all the time).
So it is important that that sim is not activated by entering its pin.
In other words, we want device to go on in "airplane" mode.

If your device is not rooted then unfortunately my first suggestion will not work (Because editing system files such as the build.prop file requires root access), but to answer your question the build.prop file is a file that contains a list of default Android environmental properties and system properties that define a variety of aspects about a device. The edit I suggested refers to SIM lock and SIM status not screen pin lock. Another possible solution besides the parental controls app would be before you give your son the phone is toggle airplane mode and disable all connectivity.
SOLVED!
At the sim pin request screen, press and hold power button, enable "Airplane mode"
DONE.

Hey all. I originally posted this in the Mate 9 forum inadvertently but meant to post it here.
My wife and I both have the Mate 10 Pro. She lost hers at work several days ago. I located it using the Find My Device app. I also locked it so nothing in it was compromised just in case she didn't find it. She ends up finding the phone and can't unlock it. She brings it home for me to take a look at and I notice that I can't even input the whole password before it shows up as invalid. Apparently the input limit is 16 characters and the password I used when locking it remotely was 17 characters. I offered to factory reset it for her but she said no because she has a bunch of pictures on there she doesn't want to lose. Basically, her cloud photo storage is full and the last month and a half of pictures haven't been backed up. Is there anything I can do to at least retrieve her photos?
Has it ever been connected to a PC and ADB permission granted? If so connect to same pc and pull the content you want to back up. Otherwise it might be a question for Google. Also factory reset may not work in it's locked state due to recent Android anti theft measures.
Sent from my HUAWEI ALP-L29 using XDA Labs
Thanks for the reply. The only time it's ever been connected to a PC was using HiSuite to back up the phone before a factory reset a few months ago. I just feel bad and was hoping to fix it. I did post up a question on the Google help forum and haven't received a response. I guess I'll just give it several more days and if I can't figure out a resolution, I'll just factory reset the phone and see if I can at least get her phone back to her. I don't think she cares for the battery life of my old HTC 10... Thanks again.
If the password is too long then make her request a password change bro it's common sense.
I appreciate the input. I will try again when I get home but I'm almost positive you can only set the password one time through the "Find My Device" app. Once it's set, there is no changing it.

I think It uses the same password as the google account that locked it. also try to log in on another phone or computer and try to see if you can unlock it, also the limit is 100Characters for google password So I don't think that's the problem.

So, just for the sake of clarity, I'll explain in more detail. My wife never uses a screen lock or password on her phone. When I "secured" the device using the Find My Device app, I put in a password to lock it. That password is 17 characters long. When the phone boots up, it asks for a password. The problem is, the phone will not allow me to input more than 16 characters. I tried truncating the password and that doesn't work either. I've tried her google password and it's a no-go. I've tried connecting it using the HiSuite software but the software doesn't see the phone. I've asked on the google help forums and haven't received any response.
Currently, my wife is using an old phone and I'm trying to find a workaround. Using the Find My Device app right now and it doesn't see the phone, so there is no option to relock with a different password (don't think that is possible anyway).
I have tried to do the same thing on my phone now and it is asking for the unlock PIN, the same PIN what I use after restarting the phone.
So, I can not believe that your phone does not accept that PIN/password because the password can be up to 32 characters long.

yea something seems fishy here OP must have stole it or found the phone and the real owner have it locked it, so there's "supposedly" his wife is the owner of the phone she is the one who locked it first so I don't see the problem with her unlocking it because to lock it it must be done from a computer or a different phone.

Thanks for the accusation. You sound like a fun person to be around. I, me, myself, locked the phone through "Find My Device". I only did that because she did not have any type of screen lock/password/PIN on the phone. Once the phone was rebooted, "Find My Device" couldn't even locate the phone again. As far as the other comments about password length, all I can say is I locked the phone with a password (using my computer) that was 17 characters long and when typing said password into the phone, as soon as I hit the 16th character, the phone said invalid password. Apparently I'm not the only person that's had this issue...

hello first of all
I bought google pixel 6 phone but the phone can use in user mode
When I switch to owner mode, the phone gives an error after a certain time.
oem lock grayed out
Does anyone know about this subject?
can i use main user without problem?
OEM Unlock grayed out means the bootloader is locked by the carrier. The phone most likely requires a SIM from that carrier to be able to make calls.
1st - your phone is factory unlocked or you bought is from some carriers?
2nd - what version of android installed -A12/13?

Let's see if I have this right. This Pixel 6 is a demonstration unit acquired from a store of some sort and you wish to remove the demo mode. However you aren't able to get into developer options. Demonstration units like what yours apparently is require a password to get into developer options. If the device does in fact require a password to get into developer options you are pretty much out of luck: the store where it was located likely does not have the password. You could try guessing the password, but both you and the unit would be dead long before hitting upon the correct combination.
To completely restore the device requires an unlocked bootloader, which you do not have access to as developer options is locked.
I'd tell you to get your money back from the "contact", but they likely already made off with your money and you will never see them again.

I watched the video and it is oem unlocked. Is the job resolved to the opening?
I think the language barrier here is causing problems.
I don't think I can help you further, but not because I don't want to. I simply feel you purchased a device that is locked into demo mode with no way out of it. Given how much you likely spent I would attempt to recoup your costs by selling it on ebay as a parts device.
