Hello friends,
Finding no solutions on the Web and on XDA, I need to ask you one thing :
A really close friend of mine passed away on july 13th after a damn f*cking brutal and quick heartattack. (He did'nt have time to take his phone to call emergencies) :'(
His family tried to unlock his phone to call some of his friends, to get some contacts , recover photos, etc... but unfortunately they could'nt unlock his phone because of a security PIN lock.
I know his SIM Pin code, so I could unlock the SIM to answer his phonecalls.
I know all of his passwords (Google, Gmail, etc...).
The problem is that I couldn't bypass the screen lock and recover thru Google's Account Recovery because he cuts WIFI & MOBILE DATAS (he follows my advice to save battery ).
I tried to bypass using the Quicknote trick (that allowed me to activate WIFI & BLUETOOTH), but unfortunately it couldn't connect to my WIFI (unlocked)...
Any clue ?
NO, I'm not a thief, a robber, a delinquent, so I didn't steal that phone. (Me and my wife are owner of 2 G4)
Feel free to ask me more infos/proofs via PM.
Thanks for your help and for his family.
Note : the phone isn't rooted and I don't want to do it because I don't want to wipe his (and it's) memory.

Hello.
Yesterday I have received a new phone - Motorola atrix 4g AT&T.
I still at all haven't received an unlock code, but i use it for internet surf. I was registered motoblur account. And i tried to download any free software from android market, but all what i see it's status bar - Starting downloading, and nothing more happens.
I'm going to main menu and tap on the GTalk( name on the screen "Talk") application, but this doesn't want to work, he said to me - Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly.
pls help me, i don't know what i need to do for get a working Gtalk, i have gmail account and i was recieved all my mails and contacts, i activate sync in Account menu.
I in shock, it my first phone on an android, and I can't normally use it.
p.s. Sorry for my bad english.
my wife has my old HERO (rooted custom rom etc) her own optus pre paid sim card etc.
i have a DESIRE new sim card , original gmail , google account etc
i setup my wifes own google account/gmail etc on the pc sighned in all good.
the problem:

it's same as my prepaid & i don't have a problem with my account.
Hi all,
I recently lost or had stolen my S3. Its on t-mobile uk. Its been reported and blacklisted. Unfortunately due to the battery nearly dead and having it blacklisted and maybe the sim removed i could not track and wipe via Samsungdive. Could anyone please advise what will be visible on the screen etc. T-mobile have said only the phone connection, mobile internet and sms are essentially blocked. Im concerned about other data such as already downloaded emails, texts ect being visible and navigation around the phones file system being possible. Would someone be able to look at email apps(system default, gmail and yahoo) or the text app on the phone? Also if a new sim is inserted, would that by any chance effectively create a new profile thus preventing anyone from viewing my old emails and texts etc. I have changed all my passwords. However im thinking of transferring all my emails to new email accounts, deleting the emails from the old accounts and setting the passwords for the old email accounts back to the same as on the phone. Then if the phone connects by wifi the email apps should hopefully update and delete the emails on the phone. Of course hindsight is great and I know I should have had a phone lock in place.
Cheers

If you didn't have any lock at all then everything on the phone will be available, IMEI locking will only prevent the phone connecting to mobile data, making calls or sending texts. Inserting a new SIM won't remove anything.
If you had set the email client to leave emails on the server then you can download them to your pc, delete them from the server, which would delete them on the phone if wifi connection is ever made.
Unless you had your visa card details on speed dial I wouldn't worry too much, it's probably already been factory reset and sold to a mug in a pub.
Thanks for the reply. Ive just noticed....... I changed my google password as a precaution. Ive just switched on my nexus7 and of course it asked for the new password. Therefore I guess if the lost S3 makes a wifi connection it will also ask for a password.
Edit** Sorry it asked for the password because I was connecting to the play store not upon switching on the nexus
Hi,
I'm on a Rooted (CWM) Nexus 5 running SlimKat 4.4.4.
I have used my viber account activated on a prepaid US number T-mobile (while living there last year ) for a long time. I now live in Sweden (since march 2015) and have changed the SIM to a swedish number +46 without any problem still using the same old US viber account. Recently I froze Viber (using SD Maid) for a month then when I unfroze it, it asks for activation and I cant receive an activation code to the old US number even though its active, inserted in phone and has sms credits. I have received refill smses for the US number just now which helps me conclude that the receiving function is ok.
I have backed up Viber with Titanium Backup, restored app+data even app or data separately. What happens is I get into my Viber account and I see all messages as usual, then it stops and the activation screen appears again.
Ive read all threads here on viber backup of messages and similar, many questions were exactly formulated in a way that would solve my problem, but they never got answered. A new question seemed to always hijack the original.
To conclude:
1. Can I alter any viber db file to just skip activation?
2. How can I get into my viber account again not loosing ANY data?
PLEASE help me...I dont wanna loose all my messages especially from my loved one.
Thanks!
