Re: Is it possible to activate LTE/4G/3G on air?
Hi all,
I'm still quite new to this forum, i'll try to put this simply.
I have lost my phone recently, htc one ul_m8, in france, and i tried to locate it on ADM. Problem is, that i deactivated my connection because i don't often use it. I checked a bit all over the place how i could activated "on air" or else, and still haven't found anything. I thought of using Airdroid 3 to be able to use my phone through my PC, but same problem, i need the 4g activated.
So my question is this:
I am aware of USSD codes that you can type in directly on the numpad to have access to various information and settings. Is there any other form of secret or no "ussd" codes that for example can be sent to the lost phone, to be able to remotely activate the connection. Or another way. But it has to be remote cause i honestly don't see any other way of accessing the phone.
I hope i was clear for most, my head is a bit scrammbled, to much precious information i was careless to not think of this beforehand. Anyway if anyone has any ideas, please reach out.
Thanks a lot
Leo

Hello all,
I'm new here, have read lots of the information available, but came here looking for an answer that I haven't found yet.
Situation is the following.
I got this Qtek2020 (or XDA II) from my dad who used it for his work. The reason he stopped using it is because the "phone" function itself is kind off acting weird.
Sometimes it is just nog possible to get into phone mode, neither of the two methods make te device display the dial pad...
- hitting the green button
- going Start-> phone
(It's kind off like a non responding program in windows when you want to execute it)
To make things clear, the phone works fine if we go to contacts and then choose the option to call the contact.
The question is, does this problem seem familiar and is there a way to fix it by for example putting a new rom on the device?
Any help or input about this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
I think the HARD RESET should help . After a long... long work configuration data and other settings going to be ... melted . If U don't store on devise impotrant data just remove the battery for about 20 mins .
Guys, Am wondring if anybody can help my locate my phone,
I was out lastnight and lost my phone, i dont think I have any software on it to remotely ccess my phone, however i am running MIUI if this has something like this embedded into the ROM?
My phone dials out to voicemail, and I have blacklisted my phone so the GSM network will not work also my simcard has been blocked.
Anybody got any ideas to help get in touch with the person who's found it ? and how to locate it?
Thanks

Maybe Plan B in market can do something for you. Iwish you good luck.
Thanks mate
Does Anybody know if when you install an app from your desktop computer via the google android website on your phone. and the status for that app changes from INSTALL to INSTALLED.
did the app sucessfully get installed? its very hard to find out as my network has been disabled ( i have now enabled it may take upto 24 hours) so my only hope at the moment is wifi i think.
if you didn't set it up before you lost the phone there's no way for you to track it down afterwards...
Hey thanks for reading, a couple of days ago , my wifes phone got stolen, i had the find my phone app installed in it but i always had my doubts as i always thought that if someone like me finds a phone and wants to keep it, they could just master reset it and erase any gps traking apps and have a new phone rigth? well thats what happened,tiefh turned off the phone right away and the phone never showed up neither on google device manager nor the find my phone either. Anyway , a person that works on a cell repair shop told me, he has his phone setup in a way that if you do a factory reset or even if you flash the phone, once the phone has acces to the internet, it will install the gps back again and tell you where it is.
So i was wondering if anyone has any idea wich app or how to do such thing. Thanks for your time and pardon my bad grammar and english.
PS: i wonder why google dosnt have something like the icloud where you can lock your phone to it via imei, that way if it gets stolen you can just lock your phone and tiefs wont be able to use it. I know google has my last imei, so i guess is posible for them to track my device to see wich other account is using my phone.

With root access Avast Mobile Security has this kind of features as far as I remember. It keeps a protection after a factory reset or a firmware installation.
BTW Apple produces the devices so they have a control on the IMEI (IMEI is a hardware data and not software). Moreover you should probably be able to contact your local authoritizies to blacklist the IMEI.
Hope it helps.
ill give that atry, the reviews dont look good but most of them look to be because people dont understand that there are 2 kinds of the same app, one for normal users , the other for rooted users. Thanks alot for your help. Any other options out there?
I'm new to the forum, and did try searching for relevant threads first, but possibly due to poor use of the search tool haven't found a solution.
I'm living in the UK and have an Xperia Z5 Compact E5823 with build number 32.4.A.1.54 which has been working wonderfully for years.
To my great regret, I was too hasty while looking around the menu found using *#*#4636#*#* and seem to have caused a serious problem with no simple solution. I was looking in Phone Information > overflow menu > Select Radio Band which brought up a box called "Set Radio Band Mode" which only had one option of "United States" which I fatefully pressed instead of backing out of that option.
Though I didn't realize it immediately, the phone now seems completely unable to make phone calls, though data is still working.
While I've never dealt with rooting before, I consider myself relatively capable when it comes to computers and technology, just haven't had the need to dig into android much before. What little I've found online seems to indicate that simple steps like a Factory Reset won't work. I'm willing to try whatever's needed in order to restore functionality, but didn't want to waste any more time or cause any more problems than I already have by trying things blindly.
I would be most appreciative of any help or thoughts about what to try to resolve this. Thanks.
Hi,
I'm pretty new to the phone, but did you already take a look at the service menu (*#*#service#*#*), particularly under "Service Info" - "Configuration" to figure out what exactly might have been set incorrectly?
Cheers,
r.

I think you should make a software repair with the tool Xperia Companion
Thanks for the input
I did look through service menu mentioned, but was unable to correct the accidently changed Radio Band Mode setting.
I tried to use Xperia Companion to perform a backup, but couldn't get it to work. I didn't try a software repair, that may have been a good solution.
I ended up performing a factory data reset, and though it was a bit of a pain to get everything setup again on my phone, it did succeed in fixing the problem with the Radio Band Mode.

Good you got it working again, though you had to take the brute-force route.
Would you mind sharing what the service menu revealed in terms of the wrong bands?
I didn't actually make any notes on the band information displayed, as I already knew my phone wasn't able to make calls. Without seeing any way of reactivating bands from that menu I moved on to other possible solutions.
Embarrasing as it is, I'm sure this has happened to many others ever since the introduction of the very first kinds screen locks. I have a Samsung A10, which can be assumed why I'm in this specific thread. I would really appreciate if someone could assist me in unlocking my phone. Some points for whoever reads this: I have never rooted my phone, it has no custom recovery or anything really done to it. USB Debugging is not enabled on it either, and I really do NOT want to lose my data. I currently have a pattern saved as the password and as mentioned I forgot it and I have had no access to anything thus far, I've been searching for hours on the internet trying to find a solution. All of which require something that needs another thing to be present for it to work, like using ADB commands, I need USB Debugging enabled I've tried using Aroma File Manager and to no avail it does not work, and then from what I perceived, I need CWM for it to work. LIKE WHY DID NO ONE MENTION THIS!!! At the end of the day, i don't mind doing a factory reset just as long as I can access my data and store it safely, my problem really just revolves around my data of which I really wish to not lose. I sure many would understand that I'm very frustrated and I'm earnestly requesting some assistance in regard of my dilemma.
