I told me that phone is locked, but it is not true.
It is unlocked and Find My Phone's "Lock" feature does not work for me.
Thanks.
Remove and readd it
This doesn't tell you that your phone is locked, this gives you the option to lock your phone in case it has been lost or stolen...
Sorry, but you are not right - if I click on this icon, it showed the message that phone is already locked. But it is not true, since I have unlocked it.
I tried it app. week ago and if I need this service again, it will NOT work.
Can you help me?
I am not the only person that has this problem:

2. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...0-930b2cc45d29?page=1&tm=1336933751760#footer
I also had it, removed phone and readded fixed the problem.
Great, thank you very much.
But I think that is an issue/problem - it is not a standard behavior in my opinion.
Does anybody know why it happens?
Thanks.
Removing and Re-adding Works
Thanks, removing the device and re-adding also worked for me. Once you lock the device the symbol will remain, and you can not use the feature again. This is the only workaround I know of.
Strange, but solved.
Close this thread, please.
it relies on your sim card.In a sense,it just lock your tel-number.Once your sim card was out of your phone,it not work.

It locks the phone, does nothing with your telephone number.

It's a bit of a dodgy fix but you could try this. It's worked for a few people.

Moto warranty -> sell -> buy a good phone(
I had exactly same problem with my Atrix.
Exactly means exactly same location and dimensions of nontouchable area.
I tried everithing, was thinking about touch replacement but finally realized 99% I will end up with nonworking device.
Solution (depends)
-go to Motorola site and check if your atrix is still under warranty.(mine was more than year old but still on warr.)
-fill out online form for repair/replacement.
-back up your data and erase from device.
-send your atrix to them (dont send wires, battery, backcover, sd card, sim and orig.box) dont warry about unlocked bootloader, custom rom, etc. - they dont care.
-receive a new atrix. this will be a new device not fixed yours.
with build # 4.5.141 with UNLOCKABLE butloader.
-You may try to call Att for sim unlock code but this is useless. Go to cellunlock.net and buy code ($19.99 with discount code).
-get rid of motoblur account activation -

-Sell this useless junk on ebay
-Buy real phone (nexus, s3, note ?)
good luck
Hey guys,
I just bought a Galaxy Note 2 second hand, and it is having some problems. Right now I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong, something Verizon is doing wrong, or something wrong with the device.
I am 100% stock, with no modifications. I can receive texts, but cannot send them (I get a message saying it will wait for the network to become available to send). I also cannot make calls (I get a similar message).
Here's the kicker though: I have signal. I have several bars of 4G, and am sending / receiving data through the browser, but the SMS / Voice call features of the phone do nothing.
Anyone have any advice? I have tried the following:
Wipe Data / Factory Reset
Reboot
Wipe Dalvik
Shut down, remove SIM card, put SIM card back, reboot
Nothing seems to do anything helpful!
UPDATE: Just browsing around the settings, I found the following in my network settings:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that missing some things?
Did you just activate your service, or start new 4G service? It can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day for all phone functions to work. When I got a new SIM before, data worked almost immediately, but some of the SMS/call related things took a couple hours before they worked properly.

No, I had a Galaxy S3 and simply shut that phone down, took out the SIM, and transferred it to the new phone. Nothing else changed.
Hey, XDA.
I looked around but I couldn't find a similar thread about this.
Back a couple weeks ago, Verizon pushed out the not-so-official-but-it-exists-for-you-to-download VS98523C firmware and I put it on my G3 through the LG Flash tool and it works flawlessly...except for one part...
It seems that when I connect to WiFi, I instantly stop getting push notifications (i.e. no email, WhatsApp, GroupMe, Wunderlist, etc... alerts). But, when I connect back to 4G, I instantly get a barrage of the 'missed' notification from when I was on WiFi.
Also, it's not my WiFi network at home, I've reset my router/AP multiple times, tried different networks, different configurations to no avail.
I was wondering if anyone had the same issue and if there was a fix out there.
If there already is and I still don't know how to read, I'd be more than happy to get a link to it.
Thanks!
Are you living in some type of time warp?

Second post in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3039710
I bought a pre-owned T-mobile S5 to use on AT&T. I've sim-unlocked it, rooted it, installed CM12 on it. However I keep losing service. This is NOT an AT&T issue, as the tablet sitting next to it is on AT&T and works flawlessly. Do I need to flash a new modem? Or do something else to make this work closer to flawlessly? I already searched the forums and couldn't find anyone with my problem.
Thanks in advance.
Possibly you have to edit the APN settings. I did a small thread on what you need to do to use a Tmobile s5 on AT&T:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help/tips-using-g900t-att-t2975336
Thanks, I assume when I inserted the sim card, the APN info was loaded, as I've not touched that part, and it's already on my phone. That doesn't seem to be my issue. Any other suggestions?
I've been having the same issue for months. I went back to a stock rom and recently came back to AOSP, but I forgot I was having constant signal drop.

I am having the same issue. Can you tell me what modem/rom are working the best for you? Thanks!
Solution!
My particular solution does require xposed and gravity box module.
I noticed that the cell signal issues only happen when I'm connected to WiFi.
I created a tasker profile that toggles mobile data off when wifi is on and changes the data mode to 3G only. I used the toggle data 5.0 plugin (see for details) in tasker to toggle to change to 3G.

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I then used the gravity box "change network type" action (see for details) to change network back to LTE and I used the toggle data 5.0 plugin to turn data back on when WiFi is disconnected. I guess this would be the end task?
I took a screenshot a couple hours ago of the result. Not one signal drop in 3 or so hours. I'm no expert in tasker, and these are the exact steps I followed.
I was having a similar issue with CM12.1 on AT&T using the G900T I actually posted on their forums about it: http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/106617-lte-issues-cm12-tmobile/ however it looks like they're has been any resolution..I had no issues running stock, and when I installed BlissPop (CM Based) I had no issues at all.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will try them out.

No you have to edit the Apn often times.

Does anyone have any idea what this means? Or have it on their devices? I factory reset the tablet when I got it, so I can't think there'd be anything wrong with it from that perspective. My guess it has something to do with the user profiles being messed up or something. It's just a little message that sits right beneath my Quick Toggle tiles.

This is the message you get when you tap on it:
The "null" field leads me to believe that it's a user profile screw-up. Any ideas or information would be much appreciated!
It's because you enabled my xperia so your able to track where your device is ?

Nope! Just checked in Security->My Xperia, and it hasn't been activated, and in Device Administrators, it is unchecked! :/

check out the Proxy Setting and VPN
if nothing set ask your operator about it
:good:
I got the same notification last night, with the same "null". I don't have a SIM-card in my Z4 tablet and every other device works fine in the WLAN, so I guess I won't have to worry.. (?)

No Proxy settings or VPN active... And I would like to contact my operator or the distributor, but I got it shipped from Hong Kong, so I doubt they have anyone that speaks much English, and I only know a little Mandarin.

Maybe that's the cause of it. I never put a SIM into my Xperia Z4 either. I'll try taking my SIM out of my phone and sticking it in there later tn and see if that does anything.
I synced my work account with the email app and also have this msg.
I have the same message after 1 week of using on the WiFi version SGP712
