Bug in ICS or not???? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As we lock our phone by pattern... so ideally it should be unlocked by that pattern only or by some security question ...
But if we delete gesture.key from /data/system/
We can unlock phone by any pattern....
Strange....
Jst check it out...
Root must be required ...

S3 freezing problem.

S3 Freezing issue with opening keylock
Hi there,I've encountered that my phone is freezing when I try to open keylock with sliding and all other methods such as passwords, no lock etc. This happens not all time, when I lock the keys and wait for 5-10 minutes and try to open the keylock it just happens but when I opened the keylock immediately after the lock everything is good no problem. Can anybody suggest anything?

All I done was updated with an update sent by Samsung.my phone was rooted though.Think I have solved it now though...FLASH ORIGINAL FIRMWARE AGAIN..THEN WAIT FOR SAMSUNG'S UPDATES THEN INSTALL THEM....ONCE INSTALLED AND UPDATED THEN ROOT DEVICE.(IN OTHER WORDS ALWAYS MAKE SURE IF YOUR ROOTING DO IT LAST AFTER PHONE IS UPDATED.
How do I edit title of thread.?

Vibrate when (un)locking

Hello,
I wonder if it is possible to make Galaxy S3 vibrating when locking and unlocking device. If it is, how can it be done?
I am using Stock Polish JB ROM.

What are you talking about? Is this with stock or something? Just use TouchWiz lockscreen if so, much better anyway.

I think this screen is what he is taking about. You have it when you have a pin code lock like my work email app requires. It can get annoying.

Bypass Pin lockscreen without Google account

My daughter forgot her pin on her inc4G and she does not have it with a Google account. Anyone know how I can unlock or bypass the pin unlock without a factory reset?

Still has custom recovery on it? Maybe you can flash another rom, that will still keep the data in tact anyway, right?

i remember i saw a trick if it is rooted, you can delete some archive about the pin in the /data partition
No, this phone is not unlocked or s off and has stock recovery.
