Locked out after too many pattern attempts? SOLVED!!! WITHOUT ANY DATA LOSS!

Well, my little brother attempted to enter the pattern seemingly too many times and guess what I was locked out without any way to access my contacts, apps etc.
The phone prompted me to enter my google credentials, and guess what? I entered them only to see it reject it by saying that it was an incorrect username or password.
I kept looking in many forums and found no success even after 10 long hours of searching.
AND THEN....
I decided to GIVE MY PHONE A CALL from my house number. ACCEPTED IT and pressed the "Settings" button and there shows the Contacts, Sim Tools etc. I pressed the contact button only to see the dreaded locked screen again.
But since that was enough to give me hope, I GAVE MYSELF A CALL AGAIN and pressed the settings button again. Only this time I was able to enter into the Contacts menu. I pressed the Home button and was so glad I was able to ENTER MY HOME SCREEN!. I pressed and went to settings---> accounts and sync--->quickly synced my gmail and deleted all other accounts. I locked my phone again by pressing the power button. I ENTERED MY GOOGLE CREDENTIALS AGAIN and THIS TIME IT WORKED!!!
I was so glad that I had recovered my phone WITHOUT ANY DATA LOSS!
I hope this helps many who are suffering from this glaring android bug that is so frustrating.
BTW. I AM USING SAMSUNG VIBRANT with official firmware.
Guaide me please

[Q] Changing Sim cards while Device is on

Hi, is there anyway we can change sim cards in our phone w/o having to turn if off? Like an app or workaround to unmount sim card and mount sim card so that even when it is on, it will be possible to change sim cards. Thanks in advance!
Purely out of of curiosity - why would you want to?
Just insert the new SIM, hold power button to enter airplane mode. Then repeat to exit airplane mode, and it will recognize your sim & network settings.

A lot of devices require the battery to be removed to access the sim card. Just pull battle change sim and wait a minute for reboot

Thanks, I've tried this the other way around. Put to airplane mode then replace sim then turn off airplane mode but didnt worked. But this might.

[Q] Sophix Tab-730g - Lost Password, Help?

Hello everyone,
we got this cheap tablet for my niece as a Christmas gift. She put a password on it and now she doesnt remember the password. It is connected to one of my gmail accounts, but I cant even get the tablet to give me an option to bypass device password via my gmail and password.
I have attempted to use the reset button to factory reset the device, but every time it reboots it asks for the password again.
I am about to throw the thing in the trash and tell my niece "sorry, you borked it, too bad so sad" but I thought I would try here before I did that.
Thanks in advance!

I kept messing with it, and after trying the power + volume down process about 25 times I finally got it to take and entered into recovery. It didnt work at all the first bunch of times I tried it, basically this thing is annoying.
Thank you!

So I was having the same problem. It turns out that you do not press the volume up button along with the power button, but instead press the volume button in the middle along with the power button. Found that on a you tube video.
That resets the device to factory settings.
Note: If you have a memory card in the device, take it out before you start all this process so it doesn't lose data.
Sophix Tablet is made by digix media but I didn't find their website helpful to reset the password. Their website had me downloading zip files to my computer, etc. Very lengthy and time consuming.
Hope this helps someone else!

Hi, i hard reset my phone and it now takes me the verizon setup screen. I don't have verizon service but have the sim. I can't seem to bypass this screen. Any help on this will help a lot.
UPDATE: Found a way to by pass the screen to get everything working.
1.Boot phone and get to the setup screen.
2. Tap the lower left side of the screen right above the "Emergency Call" option. Tap it once.
3. Then tap the lower right corner of the screen right above the "Next". Tap it once.
4. Repeat the taps in 3 and 4 once more time.
5. Press volume up button and you should be in the test mode.
If you have already unlocked you network, everything should work fine after you follow the process.
Hope this helps anyone who does a hard reset for some reason and wants to go back.
Cheers

Bypass the activation screen on the gear FIT without a phone

It sounds stupid but this happened one time on my gear fit, just was connected to my PC with the ODIN program open doing nothing, and I was on my phone trying to install the gfm (because I can't pair my note 5 with the gear fit), and suddenly I saw something on the watch's screen and I couldn't believe I was on the menu, I wanted to active the bluetooth and make it visible but it wasn't responding the visible option so that's why I had to restared, so now I'm back again in the activation screen :crying:
I have 1 week trying to figure it out what could I did, but I give up. Someone can help me?

probably same method as others. press the name on the watch about 25-30 times. afterwards a message will pop up, wait until it disappears. press and hold the name again for a few seconds and it should get in.
