[Q] How to disable sim PIN-lock - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After 2,5hrs searching, still no solution found.
My setup is as in my signature, and in WinMo I can't find the PIN/PIN2 page for disabling the sim security.
I've searched in the registry for an option without succes,
also tried Advanced Configuration tool to unlock phone settings page/tab without succes...
Any ideas?

press send (phone) to bring up phone screen, press menu, options - pin code toggle to off.
alternatively
settings menu all settings personal phone GSM.UMTS tab, pin/pin2 get settings

Settings tab / Menu: All setings / Personal / Phone / GSM/UMTS Services

I cant, as I said the GSM/UMTS page doesnt show the PIN options...

try CMPin.exe in your Windows folder - it shows the "Disable PIN" screen on my device, maybe it'll work on yours too

OK couldnt find an answer to this...

being given a hermes but it is AT&T branded.... it will obviously come without sim and I need to unlock it so can be used on TMO..... will I still be able to do this by connecting it by usb and using the v3a unlocker? Also if there is anything else I should no that I may have missed roaming the threads please let me know.... I currently have an excalibur so am pretty familiar with modifying things.
all gsm phones comes with a sim of sorts
he's being given the phone, so the person giving it to him is probably keeping the simcard?
you should be able to unless the unlocker states otherwise..
the phone is fully functional (bar the phone/texting) without a simcard as its a PDA / Phone

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Ok just making sure... also I could not find USA tmobile settings for once it is unlocked to get everyhting working right. I know there is special settings for the excalibur to get MMS and sms working properly so I would assume that hermes would be the same.
I found the keyboard fixes as mine is an 8525(cingular) but I want everything to work right.... If I missed it just link where I need to go for US tmo setup.
I dont mind doing the reading... THANKS!!!
PS..... Obviously I will be changing ROMS too
Is it the same as excal....?
Here are the steps and settings:
Step 1. Setup GPRS connection for T-Mobile network:
Start > Settings > Connections (tab) > Connections > Advanced (tab) > Select Networks > New...
Enter the name for the profile (e.g. T-Mobile), then go to "Modem" tab and click "New...", enter name for the connection (e.g. T-Mobile Data), choose "Cellular line (GPRS, 3G)" in the drop-down menu, click "Next", the access point should be "wap.voicestream.com", click "Next", leave all fields blank on this page, click "Finish". Now go to "Proxy Settings" tab and select "This network connects to the Internet".
Click "Ok" all the way out.
Step 2. Setup MMS:
Start > Programs > Messaging > Menu > Tools > Options... > MMS > Servers (tab) > New
Server name: (you name it)
Gateway: 216.155.165.50
Port Number: 8080
Server address: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
Connect via: (the connection you created in step 1)
Sending size limitation: 300K
WAP Version: WAP 2.0
Click "Ok", set this new entry as default (with a red arrow on the icon).
check out HTC Network Wizard (comes precooked into most roms now..) if not then schaps operator setup
does the leg work for you
Similiar to the excal 6.1 roms then.... I am reading all the new roms now so trying to decide where to go first LOL.... seems all have good and bad... I'll keep wading through them

[Codes]Android Codes & Tricks

It'll NOT remove:
Current system software and bundled applications

Samsung unlock options in settings...didnt find it ??

Hi Guys,
I was checking one feature video of Galaxy S3 and found one menu option in settings called 'samsung unlock options', I didnt found on my phone.Does anyone know where to get that?
I noticed when trying to setup custom wake up commands. I video tutorial was advising to go to this option but was not within my phone.
It was in settings - security if you are looking for the same thing?
I guess you mean the "wake in Samsung-unlock" (or whatever the correct translation is) in S-Voice's Settings menu?

[Q] hidden support menu and tcpdump

Hi,
On our Gear S, there is a hidden support menu.
When you dial *#9900# on the dialer, you can reach it.
On this menu, there is an option to take network traces with tcpdump.
But it asks for an OTP key.
Is this only open to Samsung Support ?
is there a way to bypass the OTP key ?
Thanks.

LG Wing VoLTE activation

Good news for anyone having the Wing fall Back to 3G when making a call. You can activate VoLTE using a mix of the two following guides:
Guide:-How To Activate VoLTE,ViLTE,VoWIFI&ViWIFI LG Devices-LG Velvet 5G
Hi Guys Am Baljeet From India There Is A Path To Force Enable VoLTE On The"LG Velvet 5G LM-G900" Specifically Your Version Which Is The "LM-G900". By Default This Feature Is Disabled On This Model. Follow These Steps Given Below: A). Go To The...
forum.xda-developers.com
and
Lg g8x,g8,v60 Volte enable for all carriers, unlisted countries also
I will try to keep this post as small as possible. This will enable Volte for Phone ranging from Lg g8x, g8 and V60 without root or modifying the system files. Many have posted ways to get it, Iam only trying to help out the small bits missing...
forum.xda-developers.com
To make it as short as possible:
1) Create an empty directory named "enable_ue" in the root of the phone's main storage, using you prefered file explorer (like for exemple Cx Explorer or ).
2) From the LG Phone dialpad and with your SIM card inserted, type #*462633*#100# (for european LG Wing - LM-F100EMW) to get into the Hidden Menu. From there enter Field Test, then Universal Enabler -> Create New Config. Click on the four last check boxes VoLTE, ViLTE, VoWIFI and ViWIFI to enable these options. You won't be able to enter this setting if you haven't created the empty directory under point 1).
Go back to Field Test and enter Modem Setting to enable 5G if you haven't already -> RAT Selection -> SIM 1 Mode - > select GSM/WCDMA/LTE/5G or whatever you need + 5G. Go back and do the same with SIM 2 after, if you use it. Network mode in the network settings will then not show "5G prefered", but a number, like "26" in my case.
3) Go back to Field Test menu and enter IMS Stting. If you have Slot - 0 : OPEN / EU and Slot - 1 : OPEN / EU (or something else on each side of the / ), then you did everything right to this point. Exit the Hidden Menu and get your SIM out of the phone.
4) Enter th Hidden Menu again without the SIM inserted. Go back to IMS Setting and click on Slot - 0.
Under Subscriber enable IMS,ISIM & USIM.
Under Xcap\Ut. -> General, enable UT & USSD Over IMS
Under ETC, enable Check IMS Registration, Use rule-ID from responsem& Query on bootup
Under GPRI VoLTE/VoWIFi, enable VoLTE, ViLTE, VoWIFI & VIWIFI
Under Test, Preference Operator can be set as OPEN (what I did), or your carrier short name, or your County. Apparently does not make difference for some operator but some do require it to same name as theirs.
Preference Country this is important as this decides if VoLTE gets enabled, Find your country short code example USA is US , India is IN. Europe is EU. Find and try different short codes, I put EU.
Enable Support Volte AT command, VoNR, UAC Enabled & VoLTE Setting Enabled
You can now exit the Hidden Menu & insert your SIM back in. If everything went well, you should see the VoLTE icon showing up on the left of the network in the task bar, on the (my) Wing it's a small lifted phone headset with wave coming out of it. If you don't have it, check under the phone network settings - Mobile networks, if you got the VoLTE option and if it's activated. You might have to repeat some of the steps above with the SIM card inserted (as I had to) to make it work. Don't forget to check the settings for both SIMs if you use two. Not sure if all setting are kept if you reboot or reset the phone. You might have to repeat the preocess or part of it on each reboot, as for enabeling the 5G option.
Was tested on Android 12, as my phone didn't get Android 13 yet. But it's also working on my Velvet 5G that is on A13.
Many thanks to Baljeet Khairwal and johndaniel for their guides + all other persons who helped in the two threads.
