My Galaxy Tab S3 LTE is not accepting my pin code.
I have hard rebooted the tablet but it still won't take my pin code.
I am 100% sure that my pin code is correct.
This issue occurred after recharging the tablet.
I have documents on the tablet that I don't want to lose so I would like to avoid a factory reset.
Any idea how I can resolve this issue?
Never mind.
Managed to solve the issue by using findmymobile.
I have the same issue with the new android 9 update cannot log in.

I've had this phone for two days now, and I'm using the face unlock, with pattern unlock as the backup and I noticed today, that if my face unlock doesn't work for whatever reason and goes to the pattern unlock screen it screws up the alignment.
Just curious if anyone else has had this problem or if someone else can test it? I'm on T-Mobile.
Seems like there are a bunch of little problems like these with the S3.

This started when my phone was charging on wifi with wifi calling. Seemed to clear up after that. Must have to do with one of those things.

Hi everyone, i am currently using Atrix 4g on Dorians Redpill Hybrid V1. I recently went on a trip to China and i put in a chinese company sim card and i get the network unlock screen and i entered a few codes that didnt work which caused my Atrix to hardlock after 10x failed tries. However luckily i was able to use Amil's guide and flashed a special radio that caused my phone to work again.
However after getting my phone back, i tried pressing "#073887*" to try to reach the network unlock screen so I could unlock my phone with an ATT issued PUK code so i could reflash back to my old radio which is better, nothing shows up at all and I press call and you get the called incorrect # auto message because "#073887*" isnt a real phone #.
Please help!!
Thanks!
I'm having a different unlock issue, the code AT&T gave me generates a network error and won't unlock the phone. Since the phone is a refurb, I suggested that maybe the original owner locked it and the refurb didn't clear that. So AT&T bridged in a Moto inside tech rep who SWEARS that even if the phone has been "permanently locked" by using the wrong unlock code 5x, the phone will be cleared and reset by using the factory reset option form the normal menus, or from the power+volume boot sequence. He swears both processes are the same and that either one will reset the SIM unlock code in the phone, so you get five more tries to enter a correct code and unlock it.
Now with your custom code, I couldn't guess. And prior to this "everyone" swears a factory reset won't clear the unlock code. I don't know who is wrong about that.
But it could be worthwhile for you to try. Backup as much as you can, do a factory reset, see if you can unlock it back to AT&T after that.

I just did mine a couple of weeks ago, and AT&T warned me before giving me the code that it would become hard locked after 10 unlock attempts. My code worked 1st time, so all is good. I also believe a factory reset does not reset a SIM unlock.
Apparently the following is a fix for a hard locked phone:

After my brainless cousin got accepted to work as an ATT Rep, honestly speaking, those ATT people at the stores dont know much about phones other than what mainstream people know and about your billing. Technical stuff they arent really trained to do so and infact they just follow a book of common errors. I have used amil's guide and it worked for me but i just cant open network unlock again so then i could perhaps put in my ATT network unlock code and then hopefully flash back to my old radio. I actually tried flashing a new rom and trying #073887* and it still doesnt work.
So far i am probably just going to have to deal with it having a weaker radio. At least i got my phone working again!
Thanks!

That's the fun about anonymous sources for information on the internet. "It works!" "It bricked my phone!" which happens, when, why? no one knows.
I also don't believe a factory reset will clear an unlock condition, but a second level AT&T rep working with a Moto inside tech rep (available to carriers only) swears it will. Have we ever heard that one before.<G>
Obviously there's a way to unlock them, AT&T swears they can be sent in to Moto for unlocking, but then again, sometimes Moto has access to chip programmers and other hardware that the AT&T shops just won't have.
So this cellular support rep dies and wakes up in Hell. he tells the devil it must be a mistake, he's not a bad man. And the devil says, oh, sure, happens all the time, just use that elevator over there, it goes straight to Heaven, they'll get you all straightened out. And the cellular rep goes over to the elevator and sees there's no UP button, just one that says DOWN and the devil says, don't worry about that, just keep pressing the button.
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, could it?
I have just bought a galaxy note 10.1 n8000 3g+wifi for 1 month My tablet still worked well until I take its sim card out, and use it for my 3G USB. This USB seemed to be broken down, so that my computer was frozen every time I plug it in. I put my sim back into galaxy note 10.1, and a problem occurred. My Note 10.1 cannot register on network even I see a full signal bar; meanwhile, a notification showed that "the selected network is unavailable". When I try to make a call, it's appeared to be "Not registered on network". At first, I think this problem can simply solved by changing the sim card, but the real tragedy is that this problem continue occur regardless how many sims I buy from many different network providers. Those sims still work on other devices, hence this error certainly is from my tablet. Its firmware is stock 4.1.1 and rooted, I have tried to solve this error by reset factory, unroot, change to another rom, but they're all usless. Now, it only allows emergency calls. So, any help, suggestion or solution is appreciated
Very sorry for my bad English! Thank you
Your in the wrong device forum, this is the first gen Galaxy Tab, has nothing to do with the Note.

Hello all. Tried searching for this, but can't find other similar threads on this. I hope someone can shed light on to this annoying issue.
I have an Atrix 16GB which I got off of T-Mobile UK. Several months ago I decided to purchase one of those network unlock codes off of eBay so I could use this phone with O2, as I have a Nexus 4 16GB which I'll be using my T-Mobile line with.
The code worked.
And that was the last time the phone functioned properly.
Now what I have is the following:
Won't accept any SIM.
Won't connect to any network.
Battery discharge is CRAZY. Even on Airplane mode, it lasts 3/4 day.
The thing is, the code DID work. I mean, the phone accepted it, and then it restarted itself. After that, it kept rebooting at the start screen. I had to go through the "rooting" and "unlocking the bootloader" process to get the phone out of the boot loop.
I was already on CM7.2 when I did the unlock code. Did that cause the issue? Should I have reverted to stock settings and locked the bootloader before unlocking the phone?
Anyone here have any idea what caused this, and more importantly, what the solution may be?
The reason I still like the Motorola Atrix is:
1. Replaceable Battery.
2. MicroSD Slot - I have a 32GB Class 10 card I'd like to use.
3. CM7.2 + DSP - Produces some of the BEST audio I've ever heard on a phone. I like it.
Thanks in advance for the help! :crying:
Hey,
Even though we're a phone unlocking business ourselves, this isn't something we've come across before but I have a thought which might help.
I'm unsure if your phone was rooted before you entered the unlock code, but if so, then it might have read "accepted" but in reality - it might not have been.
I've seen numerous occasions when someone has received a code from us and then entered it - the phone "accepted" it but still didn't work with the new SIM card. If the phone was rooted, this meant that the software in the phone caused the phone to react unexpectedly and essentially reject the switch (from locked to unlocked).
I'm wondering if the software on your phone flipped for some reason, causing the issues you've had.
The best bet is to make sure that when entering an unlock code, the original phone software is installed.
I'm unsure if that helps directly, but it might help in your style of thinking and where the issue may have stemmed from.
So I found this phone in the street. It's a Samsung Galaxy S Mesmerize, (US Cellular) it's also sold as a Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate (Verizon). The phone is beat to hell, screen cracked all over, back is missing, but it's still activated. I've looked all over the internet on how to bypass the lock screen, so I can call numbers in the phone to try and return it, but nothing I've done has worked. I DO NOT want to wipe it, or I'll never be able to return it. I've had it for a day, and no calls have came to it, but texts have. I know it's possible to bypass lock screen by calling the phone, answering and hitting the home button. But I don't know the phone number.
Any help would be appreciated. Again, it's not stolen. I'm trying time return it.
ADB won't work. USB debugging is not enabled. I'm pretty sure this phone isn't rooted.
