Hi Guys
I am experiencing the incorrect phone lock problem. After a soft reset, the phone lock code is not accepted no matter how many times I give it correct. I tried all the possibilities listed in the forums like taking out battery, using the red button on the back to soft reset, etc. I think the only thing I can do is to hard reset as there is no solution to this problem as of now.
Unfortunately I didn't enable automatic periodic backups on my phone. So, with a hard reset I am going to lose all my contacts, text messages and other data. I am not worried about losing them except the text messages, I desperately need them.
I would like to know if there is there still a possibility that I can backup or sync text messages and if possible the contacts as well. I tried using active sync with the phone locked, it didn't work. Hope someone could help me with this.
Thank you

yesterday i was using my HD2 like always
this morning it had some error's (like: storage card2 instead of storage card, opera giving "invalid signature" errors, email setup erased, some gui modifications removed (small ones like the one to remove the bars in the main screen)
and after a few tries to restore it (and some soft resets)
the device suddenly decided to completely wipe it self and return to factory mode after a soft reset!!!
luckly i only "lost" some SMS messages (still need to find a good way to back those up)
anyone who has experienced the same thing?
first time i experienced this, i really hope the device is not malfunctioning (hardware like) and it was just a bug in the software
Sounds like some software went completely insane on your device. When you have a new setup, try to add software step by step and then try for while. Maybe you have a chance to identify the bad guy!
As for the backup, did you look into MS MyPhone? It synchronizes your phone content, including the SMS messages. This way you can restore them at any given time.
Hey guys, my HD2 touchscreen has basically become unresponsive. I used to be able to take the battery out a couple of times until it worked again but that doesn't seem to be able to work any more. The Phone still works as the hard buttons work and I'm getting messages and phone calls but I basically can't use the touch features. I was wondering if anyone had a way I could read my messages or back them up to my pc without having to use the screen? I have a couple unread ones that are pretty important that I don't want to lose by hard resetting or before I send my phone back. Any suggestions about the screen or the messages would be massively appreciated. Cheers guys.
try using MyMobiler to connect HD2 to PC/notebook, run MyMobiler & you will get screen displayed on pc & can control it via PC hardware. "MyMobiler" link is in my signature. Only problem I see is if your HD2 USB connection option is not Activesync you may not get this to work
As for backup best tool is SPB Backup or free but not so complete option is PIM Backup
Ok thanks for that, unfortunately I didn't have my phone on activesync so I've done a hard reset and it will be sent back tomorrow to resolve the screen issue. Thanks for your help anyway
I think i already know the answer to this, but this is a last resort....
A co-worker brought me his son's (Sprint) Evo 4G LTE because his son inadvertently locked himself out of the phone. When you unlock the screen you are presented with a gmail account login screen that states "Too Many Pattern Attempts".
I have looked into this, and tried a few things but so far have been unsuccessful. It isn't really a problem to do a factory reset EXCEPT the kid has quite a few pictures he's taken on the phone and doesn't want to lose them. I read on the HTC website that you can factory reset without losing data on internal storage by selecting the right settings, but it is not specific when it comes to doing a reset from the recovery menu (or hboot menu... I'm very rusty on all this). I am assuming that this reset will in fact erase internal storage?
I can't access it via ADB, as I'm sure debugging would never have been selected, I have tried calling the phone and tried pulling down notification bar, getting into contacts, etc.... but everything takes me back to the login screen. My friend set up the account for his son, but can't remember what the user ID is that he created. I tried everything I could think of based on the possibilities he gave me, but no luck.
The devices drive shows up under Computer, but since the device is locked, clicking on it prompts me to insert disk into drive.
Does anyone know of any kind of "hack" that would either get me into the device or allow me to get the pictures from internal storage?
*Never mind - Problem Solved*
I didn't realize you could receive a phone call to get the code to find your username on gmail. I was able to retrieve the username this way (obviously couldn't get sms). For some reason google only sends SMS, no phone call, for password recovery, which I don't understand.... Anyway, my co-worker was finally able to figure which password was used once I got the username.
Thanks anyway.
Hello all,
I recently purchased Galaxy S10 lite, and till now I didn't face any issues. From yesterday night my phone's dialer keeps stopping whenever I try to open it. It just open up for a second and then stops working. I couldn't search through my contacts and not even able to make any calls, but I am able to receive calls though.
I tried restarting the phone, clearing the app cache and also tried force stopping the app. I tried all the possible solutions that I could think of, but none seems to be helping.
Any help would be appreciated!
Many thanks in advance!
Restore to factory settings. If it wouldn't help, give back phone to shop due to warranty.
Hi, it would be good if someone can give me some advice on resetting a phone that I have, which appears to have the reset function disabled.
I have had my business phone upgraded and am left with the old device which is a Galaxy A50 which has not been asked to be returned. This phon e is newer than my personal phone and was wondering if I could use it. I have tried putting my sim in it and made a call which works fine (they are both the same phone network provider). Trouble is I can't put any new Apps on it and it's locked to the corporate settings.
I tried to carry out a hard reset but that option appears to be blocked. When the phone reboots it does not go into the android boot menu but instead goes straight to full boot with the screen lock. I plainly know the screen lock as it was my old phone.
I have also done some reading and it seems that if I was to be able to reset the phone I would need the email account to get back into it. The phone has 3 email accounts, none of which I actually need:-
- my work email account (exchange)
- my work email account (work account)
- an android email account (numerous numbers @ANDROID-for-work.gserviceaccount.com)
Before I do anything that may brick the device, I was wondering if anyone can offer any advice on how to make use of this. Seems a shame to just bin it, and I know my business won't do anything with it, it'll just get dumped. I don't need anything on the device, just want to do a total wipe and start from fresh.
Thank's in advance if anyone can help.
