I can remember a 4 digit PIN number, I hate that it forces me to use a 6 digit PIN for the screen lock. Any way to beat it into letting me use a 4 digit PIN?
I'm using a 4 digit pin. When it asks you to create a 6 digit pin number choose alternate unlock method. In addition to swipe and pattern there's an option for a 4 digit pin.
I would never have thought of looking in the alternate methods.

Hi!
I have done a search and cannot find the answer to this...
How do I go about setting up a PIN number for my SIM card so that when the phone/radio is restarted it asks for the SIM PIN number?
I have just got a new SIM from Vodafone and want to put a PIN number on it - I cannot see how to do this... on my old SIM card I allocated a PIN number thru my N95 (ages ago lol!) ...
Any help will be appreciated!
Regards,
Alan
Hello All,
I recently rooted my ATT SGS2 and now it doesnt allow me to set a pin for the sim.
"Lock SIM card" under "Set up SIM card lock" is diabled and when I try to check it, it asks me a pin and when I enter some pin it says its a wrong pin. It only has 4 or 5 attempts and now I have only one attempt left. What is happening here. Any ideas?
I am unable to post link.
I just picked up my S2 last week and just started exploring this very thing. I thought it would be good to lock my SIM but, when I clicked on to use a pin and then change pin, it asks me for the old pin which I don't have. It went from 5 attempts left to one, even though I only entered one pin thinking I was setting it up. Now I'm afraid to touch it and I can't deselect the "Lock SIM Card" checkmark without entering a pin. I'm so confused. I've searched in XDA about it, but can't find anything.
Any gurus out there that might be able to help a twit that was smart enough to leave BB and come to Android?

Most likely its all 0's zeros.. that's what all my cell phones uses by default.
so if you purchased the phone brand new never used then 99% all zero's
Well, doing a little more searching and a -lot- more reading, I discovered that the 8 digit code is under your cell phone account at your carrier's site. I went to ATT, found the PUK code (eight digits). That's the pin. You enter that first, then you can change the pin to whatever you like. I opted to leave it alone.
Hello guys
I unlocked a P500h locked on Koodo, Canada with a code bought from ebay. I followed the instructions and succeeded from the first try.
I then received an SMS with settings (the sim is an Orange Romania roaming on Rogers network) and when I tried to install those I was asked for a PIN. I tried 4 0's (0000) but it didn't work.
Can anyone help me? Does it have to do with the phone or with the sim? What is the default value of such a pin?
Thanks in advance!
I guess you did the unlock this way?
Code:
1. Power ON your phone with not allowed sim card (one that didn’t come with the phone)
2. Type 2945#*500#
3. the phone will ask you to input the unlock code twice, just input the unlock code
4. Device is now unlocked
Can you post what it's askin precisely? Is it pin or pin2 for example?
Did you try the pin you received with your sim-card?
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
It says
Pin code
The authentication should be done within 3 times.
Enter PIN code
And there's a box where I'm supposed to enter the PIN. I tried 0000 and 1234, but it didn't work.
I don't remember any pin other than the default 0000, which does not work.
I can input those settings by hand, no problem, but it pisses me off.
I can't call customer service 'cause I am not in Romania. Guess it'll wait till the summer.
But, what PIN is it asking?
Thanks for taking care of me. I am hitting the thanks button as soon as I submit my reply
Danke schon!
PS That was the method I used to unlock...the one that you pointed out... it cost me $2.99

you have to go to the network provider of the phone and and ask them for the phones unlock code. You will more than likely have to provide them with the IMEI number of the phone. This can be obtained by dialing in *#06# and it will show then. If the number that is shown on the phone is 17 digits, you just leave out the last 2 digits. Once you have the unlock code, you simply place the sim card into the phone, make sure its a different nettowrk than default. The phone will then ask you for a PIN code, this is the unlock code that the network has provided you. Simply enter that in and your done.
I have done this on my own phone, and am now running it on a different network, so it always shows up a triangle on the very top of the screen, this simply means that its roaming. This is because its running on a different network than stock.
I Got my code from Straight Talk a few minutes ago. but they don't know where to tell me to enter the code because it's not one of their phones, I brought my Amaze with me from T-Mobile. anyway, I went to the HTC website to try to find out how to enter. but I don't know where a next button is on my dialer screen? or an OK button? this is what HTC website says:
Restoring a SIM card that has been locked out
If you enter the wrong PIN more times than the maximum number of attempts allowed, your SIM card will become “*PUK-locked.”
Important: You need a PUK code to restore access to HTC Amaze 4G. This code may have been provided by T-Mobile when you received your SIM card.
On the Phone dialer screen, enter the PUK code, and then tap Next.
Enter the new PIN you want to use, and then tap Next.
Enter the new PIN again, and then tap OK.
HELP ME!
There's a dialer code to enter first (like#123456##*# er something)...
Then it brings up a screen where you enter the puk code.
I have no idea what the dialer code is... I just gave a random example of what it will look like !!!

Try using this in dialed
**05*[PUK]*[New PIN]*[New PIN again]#
_______________________________
For Example: if PUK # 12345678
**05*12345678*9123*9123#
