Hello all,
I am sorry if I didn't do a throughout search but I needed help urgently..
and so...
I was playing with a friend's Hero's pattern lock, until it got locked till the extent whereby only inputting the gmail's account details were the only way to unlock it...
He tried to input the particulars, but they didn't work..
he was rather sure that the details were correct..
Anyone can provide any help to this?
Is there any way to "rollback" to the lock screen? I am sure my friend remembers the pattern... just that we couldn't go back ):
Or do we need some kind of internet connection to connect to verify for the account?
Anyone who have experience, I appreciate your help! (and everyone else)
Thanks!
is the phone rooted ? do you have access to the recovery menu ?
No I don't think so... my friend just recently got the phone and has done pretty much nothing other than installing apps from the app store...
He's a first time user of Android too... (so am I...)
Btw, recovery menu wise, do you mean the one whereby he holds a few of the buttons and on the device?
Yea, we managed to get there,
but didn't make any selections because there were some important messages inside the phone... and he doesn't want to hard reset his phone...
Any help? :/
Well if you are on the original stock rom that got shipped with the phone (I assume its 1.5), then I do remember a bug which didnt allow us to get through that menu. So we needed to do a hard reset.
If it has the 1. 5 Rom you can call the phone and disable the unlock pattern. You can do this by going into settings while the call is still being made.
Don't know if you're understanding this. This is the best way to explain.

I've done this a few times accidentally and the Google sign-in has always unlocked it.
Get him to log into his Gmail account on a PC to check his username and password, and then try the same details on the phone. If he's signed in with the correct user account then it should work if everything has been input correctly.
Also, when the phone tries to auto-complete his email address make sure it's correct... my phone always wanted to give me @Googlemail.com, however my email is @Gmail.com so I had to manually change it.
As for apps he has downloaded from the Market... if you do need to do a hard reset then he will be able to download everything again via the downloads tab in the Market app,
Also, any photos, mp3s etc stored on the SD will all still be there as the SD remains unaffected by a reset. The only thing he might loose is any contacts stored on the phone which are not sync'd with Google or saved on the SIM.

Anyone? Or this just isn't intended for our phones?
https://www.htcsense.com/us/#dashboard/
Got there just fine.
I can access the Dashboard... from there I can locate the phone, make it ring (and presumably lock and wipe the phone; but, didn't really wanna test those features lol)
I cannot access any of the other modules that are described in this YouTube vid at: youtube - watch?v=OXKuloPGFx8 (I can't post links yet...)
I have searched for any details about if/when it will be fully accessible to me; but, really haven't found much...
I do find it odd that it's an option to sync with on our Evo 3D's; but, our access has been limited...
I have the same problem as the OP. I can connect via browser on the phone only. The website doesn't see the phone. I am on hboot 1.30. That may be the issue.

Try syncing HTC Sense and attempt to locate on a 3G connection. I just tried on a wifi connection and it did not locate it.

How are you accessing it and making it ring, locate etc? I can't even do that.
I can log in from the laptop but it is in beta and i cannot get anything to work. Like ring and lock and stuff dont work from computer.

Edit: Ok so it remote locked my phone but on a serious delay, but I guess it works.
Edit 2: and now the website is down for maintenance.
When I first started adding accounts on my phone, I saw HTC Sense as an option. I didn't even know what it was; but, figured what the heck... So I created my account through the option on the phone that came up when I set it up to sync options.
After that, I went to htcsense . com through my browser and was able to log in using the account details I had created through my phone. When I logged in, the only option available was the main one (dashboard). I didn't even know there were other modules until later when I googled it to see what the forward messages feature was all about - lol.
At any rate, that was last night... I just went back now to see if the "maintenance" absolutzero1906 mentioned was over - in hopes that the rest of the features might be available...
NOW it won't locate my device (lol?)
So, I went to the sync options on the phone and tried to change the sync schedule (I had it on "push" initially). Now no matter which sync option I select, I receive the following error: "Dashboard features may not be available with this option."
I had noticed some people mention deleting the account on the phone, then adding it back... So that is what I just did... "Dashboard features..." error is gone now; and, when I went back to the "Dashboard" on the site, to refresh the device location, I now get the following message:
Device location
"Your device is performing it's initial sync with the service. This can sometimes take several hours, depending on how many contacts you have."
.... guess I'll check back in a couple/few hours to see what's up...
For some reason I just signed up, they tried sending me an email to confirm the address. 6hrs later, I have yet to receive anything after multiple "re-rends" tries to my email address.
Well... I guess I'm fully synchronized now...
... but, nothing has changed on the portal. I still only have access to the "Dashboard"... It finds my phone again and I can make it ring from the portal; but, that's about it... all the other modules/options still do not show up... I guess "Beta" may be the operative word - even though it's been released for months... Hopefully it's not something that the provider has to subscribe to or something...
in froyo and gingerbread, if u forgot unlock pattern, you could easily unlock using your gmail password. is there any similar alternative way to unlock in ics, except a hard reset?
If you have setup a Google account in the phone, have you checked this? Dunno if this works for phones....no harm in giving it a try, right?
If you set up a Google Account and the tablet isn't asking you for that info you can try to unlock it from this page:
https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha (this might only work on hardware authorized by Google, I'm not sure)

nope, didnt work
edit:
hey i figured out... u need to make 20 wrong attempts in a row... (i.e. also wait for 30+30+30 secs in between).. after that the only way to unlock would be to signin to ur google account.
also, the emergency call button will only appear after 20 wrong attempts, which looks stupid...
Hello,
I have a friend with a problem and I'm trying to help her.
(I normally work only with Windows Phones, not much experience with android)
For fun, she pressed the "button" "Forgot Pattern" (I think thats the correct english translation) and now she has to confirm her google account.
When she bought her phone she created a randomly account and now she don't now even the account name anymore.
We already tried to Hard-Reset the Phone by holding the left and the right key during Power On, but there is the same screen, but in "safe mode". Didn't help.
Repair it with SEUS is also not possible, because the software isn't connecting, you cannot confirm the connection on the phone.
We also discovered the Flashtool, but i don't want to do something whichs causes more problems.
With this Tool, I also got no Solution, maybe I tried the wrong way...
(Are there also german *.ftf files and where can i find them?)
Can someone help me/us?
Greetings
Max
The thing is pal is Flashtool or seus would reset the phone which would then require a google sign in anyway. Not sure u could either contact google see if ur friend can recover details or failing that, just create another google account pretty sure wouldn't be a problem

A friend of mine told me to come to this website since it is the only one with professionals assisting people, so here I am. I was told to be exact, to provide as much information as I could so I hope you bear with me.
I just recently bought a Galaxy S3 from Amazon, Everything worked fine - and the phone is awesome. SamsungDive worked and there were no problems. Then comes the tinkering.
1. I rooted my phone, mostly for MarketEnabler. No problems, everything went successful. Files used:
- CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
- Odin3 v1.85
Then I wanted to change my country to USA, to bypass purchasing blocks, and I read on the net that you needed to delete your Samsung account (which I now see was not necessary), which I did. Then I made a new one, which also was successful.
HOWEVER
After making the new account, now my SamsungDive doesn't work. New account and email address is set up, same with account in phone, which syncs without problem, but remote control doesn't work. I made sure that the location controls within the phone are correctly set up, and the account confirms it.
Can anyone tell me why my SamsungDive stopped working after root and Samsung account deletion?
Any help would be MOST appreciated. I'm a psychologist and I need to be able to lock my phone, regarding contacts and other sensitive data if I loose it.
Please assist!
****ADDED FOR CLARIFICATION****
The nature of it not working is that I always get "REGISTER YOUR MOBILE NOW", even though I've gone through and confirmed all the steps as working as they should work.

I had a similar problem. What I did to fix it was delete my Samsung account again, then wait 24 hours to re-create it.
This seemed to fix all the issues I was having and SamsungDive worked again.

Thanks for your response.
I used this method I found with search and it worked. Meant that I had to buy Titanium Backup, but it did not matter, I was so happy to get it fixed.

I need your help. For days I've been trying to access my Google Account that created my dad on the z5c. Since I did not remember the pin of the screen unlock I did a hard reset flashing the latest version downloaded by xperiafirm. But when I turned on, I was asked for my Google Account again. For days now I am trying to retrieve my password, but I can not do it. I read the same discussion on a z5, but there was no solution because it was assumed to be a stolen cell phone, the same thing that Google believes for mine I suppose...
Unfortunately, I passed the account I used on my xzp and done it, after which my father created another account on the z5c, leaving it unused for a couple of months. And now that I wanted to use it as a second phone I can not access it anymore. Is there any solution that you will not continue to try to unnecessarily restore your account from the Google page? Unfortunately they do not even have a telephone help, they only have a forum support center in which I keep saying that I must insist on trying to recover password ... I hope in a solution.
I don't get it... a full flash process is supposed to erase everything, so the prompt should ask you to sign-in or create a new account. Am I missing something ?

It asks to sign in with my account witch I'have forgotten password...
okay, but according to what you wrote, it seems that you're stuck at the prompt. If you can't create a new account, you are likely trying to access to a locked phone, meaning it might be stolen actually (and of course you probably did not flash it). If it is really yours, you can recover your password. Otherwise, nothing can help.

I apologize for my clarity. I'm trying to retrieve the password through the Google passes for several days, but with no results. The phone is mine, then given to my dad when i bought xz premium, he created this new account forgot the passwords and left for 3 or 4 months unused. Now I can not retrieve that password, although I'm always connected to the same WiFi network and I do not understand why Google does not recognize me as a proprietor, I tried to contact them in the forum where they do "help" but they tell me that l The only way is to endlessly try their questions
don't apologize, you're welcome. The fact is that, if you're not able to recover the password, nothing on the world would do a miracle. I'm sorry if you have some datas that you would get back, but the only solution for you is to create a new account. Don't waste your time trying to sign in.

Ahaha thank you bro :highfive:
No, the point is that I do not care about the data because there was nothing apart from music saved by my father. Also because before I gave it I reset the phone and then he created this new account. The point is, Google does not make me create a new account, but wants that created by my father.
If someone needs them, I've resolved doing the downgrade to Android 5 lollipop ?.
