Hope i have posted this in the right place.
Took delivery of the lobster 700tv mobile.
Normally when the keypad is locked you simply press the unlock button to unlock it and use it.
This phone has a security feature called device lock with which i have problems with. By following the instructions in the manual i had set the device lock so when you press the unlock button you have to type in the password. This prevents anyone from using your phone without your permission. The trouble is it does not recognise my password. Has anyone had this problem? Have rang virgin who are going to send me a replacement. just wondering if it is a common problem before i try to set it on the replacement phone. Also how does one unlock it? The customer service did not know how to do it.

Hello,
I have an AT&T 8525 phone with WM6 on it. I have installed the Cyberon Voice Speed Dial application, and have great luck with it. I also used the registry hack to configure the PTT button to invoke SDDialer.exe, which is very good. I just hit the PTT button, speak a name, and dial the person.
My company exchange server has a policy set which forces a PIN lock of the device every 15 minutes. I then have to enter a 4-digit PIN to unlock the device in order to call. This, unfortunately, also prevents the SDDialer app from starting when the phone is screen locked.
Is there a workaround where I can enable the PTT button invoke while the phone is locked? I searched, but could not find any solution, so opening a new thread. Sorry if I missed a thread if this is already discussed (the search displayed a ton of result, and I believe I read most of the threads regarding this).
Thanks,
Walletless
Is this not possible with WM?
Thanks

Generally, locked is locked - that's the purpose: to keep ppl from using the phone. If that wasn't the case, the PIN lock would be pretty useless.

thanks down8.. it is wierd though.. this only seems to happen with the PTT button... if I configure the camera button to open cyberon, I can invoke it from locked screen.. makes me think there is some registry setting that I am missing for PTT... I checked HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys, and could not see anything different.
By default the Eris has end call to unlock the phone. I want to set another button to unlock the phone (Possibly answer call button?). I had people call me and i ended up hanging up on them and having to call them back. Is it possible to set a different key to unlock the phone?
Every time I start up my phone it asks for my unlock code before asking for my Pin # and I know the unlock code I put in is correct but it claims its wrong. And it was working 5 minutes before all this happened!
Has anybody else experienced this??
What should I do?
Double check the code is correct - from where ever it came from, then if it was from your service provider call them about it, don't just kepp entering it you can lock the phone fully

You were willing to ask the question - so ... please share what you found so that a person searching this site doesn't end up with:
"Nevermind, figured it out."

Sorry...when the activation starts dialing just hit the home button. If that doesnt work try the menu button
Sent from my ERIS using XDA App
The above works but will revert back to the activation screen if you power cycle. So in addition you may also want to press Emergency Call then dial ##PROGRAM + Send enter 000000 and change with MDN and MIN to 999-999-9999 this way the phone thinks it's activated.
Enjoy,

I successfully bypassed activation by allowing the activation call to initiate and then I hit "2" for the "roaming" option. That will automatically fail and once the call ends. You will be able to press next for the subsequent step in the phone setup process.
Hi guys, after i purchased a code for my htc hero, and i inserted the foreign key, but there was nothing poping up to notify me to enter the 8 digit network unlocking,
i tried around 8 different custom roms but all are the same ..
what should i do to get the unlock code screen ?
thanks in advance
Not too sure if i understand your question correctly or not, but if its the code to unlock it to "another or all" networks, on the default stock sense ROM when it shows you the screen saying "no service" you slide either the top down or the bottom up to be presented with the keypad to unlock the device to which ever network you bought an unlock code for. Pretty sure it would be the same for other ROMS
Hope that made sense and i understood the question right
Well, when i start up the phone it shows " No service or Emergency Calls" and it allows me to drag it down only to be able to use the phone normally, but my question was : when i insert a foreign simcard ,the phone must prompt me to unlock the specific network with the code you purchased that contains 8 digits.
my problem is i don't get this prompt screen never!
