Security Lock Pattern - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Before someone flames me asking a question that may have already been answered, but Tapatalk doesn't exactly have the best search feature lol
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing issues with their pattern security feature? Mine seems to be accepting any gesture I use to unlock itself, which defeats the purpose of having one.
I'm using a rooted stock KH3 with the speedmod kernel if that helps.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Just clear it and set a new one. It's what happens when you flash a new kernel.

Nevermind. Worked it out. Seems that when you setup your phone again and allow Google to restore your settings, it restores the feature but not to the pattern you drew, just a default =l

throw the phone hard against the wall and it will activate a fail safe motion detecting feature which will unlock the phone when you pick it up.

Did it work before the upgrade? If it did I would return it to AT&T and tell him the ICS update broke your phone.

did the upgrade break it? did you do something to break it?
Does your provider support at&t bands?
If the phone is stock, and you havent done anything to cause the problem. check the contacts on the SIM, or the phone h/w failed.
heh. got beat.

If it was like that before the upgrade then it's a hardware issue. The phone has a broken antenna.
And you probably voided his warranty by flashing a custom rom. LOL.

the phone was working fine 3 weeks ago!!!!
Because if I was over In The att / Samsung forums asking for help with a custom ROM what kind of replies and help would I get. Like I said I wasn't trying to be an ass about it was just kinda curious why people don't ask for help on official ROMs from the people who actually release it.

Help please! - "Obtaining IP address" WiFi problem on Galaxy SIII

Hello there.
I bought Samsung Galaxy SIII about two months ago, it was working great untill I updated it OTA. I had Android 4.04 before the update, when I updated it, it was still 4.04 but since then, my WiFi's not working. I mean, it works when I'm in the room where the router is, but when I leave the room, I don't have internet access. I updated to Jelly Bean OTA, still nothing. The problem is still there. Any suggestions? If you need more info about my phone, feel free to ask. Thank you in advance.
Anyone? Please help, without Wi-Fi my phone is useless for me.

Thank you, I'll try it and then comment here if it works or not.
Still nothing, any other ideas?
I doubt it has got something to do with the update. (I'm not saying it's impossible - It's just highly unlikely)
Maybe you typed the password wrong, or the security type is wrong.
Try deleting the network, from your device, and then checking out the different settings, like WEP, WPA, WPA2-Personal (PSK) and then checking if your password was/is incorrect

My password is not incorrect because I can connect when I'm in the room where the router is, but as soon as I leave, like 10 metres away from router, it disconnects and I get that " Obtaining IP address" error.

Bricked note i717 HELP

i have tried to flash LiquidSmooth Room on my note . I was on Android 4.0.4 ICS build Now after trying to boot dead. Nothing HELP PLEASE
I experienced the same thing when trying to flash liquid smooth. I found a video through Google of JTAG fix from mobiletechvideo they got me up and running in a week give Josh a call he's very helpful and extremely knowledgeable

You flashed the incorrect version. Several other people have made the same mistake with the same ROM. So you're not alone. Your only option is JTAG service at mobiletechvideos.com for about $50.

I have 2 questions about this:
1. is the USB jig the same for Samsung Galaxy S because I have one for that phone and it works for that one
2. What do I do when the phone shows up in download mode, what then?
Thanks for all your replys
USB jig is unusable on the galaxy note....
And if the phone arrives from a JTAG repair in download mode, then you are forced to push a stock rom to the device via Odin once you receive it.
I would be very surprised if the device comes back that way. All of the JTAG service users I'm aware of, received their devices back with a factory GB image....g

[Q] Can't activate cell service sprint "SlimKat"

Hi guys, did some digging last night, couldn't find anything... Asking now because time is a factor as I currently have no phone coverage...
I purchased a Note 3 with SlimKat on it last night. Had sprint check the ESN and it's fine, we tried to activate it but only the internet (Data) portion of the phone will activate. I can't get the actual phone service to activate. (Your account can not be validated. <--error message over the phone when trying to make any call)
Here are my questions:
1. Is there a way to force a refresh on slimkat so I can activate it? Or to manual go in and change the settings?
Sprints ## codes don't work with this OS.
2. Where can I find a factory Sprint rom (or one that is known good and will activate?)
I have TWRP and used it to clear the phone and re-instal SlimKat and the small app package they have with it.
Please help as I am running out of touch and need to contact some people for work today.... Thanks in advance.

You will be better off wiping the phone then install stock Unrooted kit kat then activate. Once you activated root and then flash what you want.

I looked all over last night trying to find a "Factory Rom" and all I came up with were spam sites and fake down loads....
Sorry, kind of new at this and just want the phone to work...

Turns out this had it integrated in the zip as part of the one click. It's not Odin by itself but with the rom built it (it seems)

Did you ever try Changing your "network mode" within Settings?
( 1 )Settings
( 2 )More Networks
( 3 )Mobile Networks
( 4 )Network Mode
By default the SlimKat network mode is set to some incorrect setting. Being as SlimKat is an unified build you need to select the correct network type or "mode" select the LTE/CDMA/EVDO

Need Help Removing Air Watch From Company Phone On Note 4....

Hey,
I have a note 4 from a company I no longer work for. It was in my drawer for almost a year. I played around with it and tried to wipe it but it wouldn't wipe because of Air Watch. I guess I made it worse when I disabled something I shouldn't which I think was the account for it. Now it stays stuck on the screen of Air Watch and do not know how to remove the company guarded info and just put the normal nougat or older os on there. Any help?
