View 1 Replies View Relatedif you have an ecrypted Samsung Galaxy S5 you already know that once you've encrypted it your only option for a screen lock is to enter a secure password. This gets annoying fast. When you want to access your phone quickly on the go it can be difficult to unlock it with any speed. Well I've come up with a way to get past the password lock screen with the same speed as a password and consistently quicker than the finger print scanner unlock.
What I've done and I've included on how to do it yourself instructions below. I've set my password to be one of my hot key options on my Samsung keyboard. I've also shortened my delay for the long press but how to do that isnt included here. (hopefully with screen shots we'll see first time attempt at posting pics here)
Doing this will allow you to quickly get by your lock screen and still have an encrypted device.
**NOTE** This is not a substitute to remember your password. Know it regardless of this being setup or not.
**NOTE** If you have auto space turned on (factory default setting) you will need to press backspace 1 time to delete the added space or you will receive an incorrect password error message.
Here's how to do it:
1. Enter the pull down menu and click settings.
2. Tap Language & Input.
3. Now click on the samsung keyboard settings icon.
4. Next if turn on the my hot keys icon.
5. Enter your password under any number to long press to have it typed.
*Don't forget if you have auto space on you will need to press backspace 1 time to delete the space or your password will not work.
I updated to 5.0, it's ok, not great. One problem i have is my lock icon is now gone, i preferred to lock my phone this way and not use the lock button on the top left. To get it back, i enabled a password. Then it came back. So i figured i would just disable it and the icon would still be there and functional like it was with 4.7, it's not, it dissapears again.Is there anyway to get the icon back where i can just hit * and the phone icon to unlock, I know this is minor, but it is what I like.Also, with 5.0 my standby mode is not working anymore, any thoughts?*on a side note, I'm not a fan of my BBM and SMS looking a like and co-mingling when I have someone as a contact and BBM contact, just a preference.can someone get my lock icon back working without a password?

I’ve tried restoring it with various custom IPSW files from different programs (I’ve even tried 3.1.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.2, and IOS 4) but my phone refuses to restore or restore unlocked. It still keeps asking for a valid sim. Sometimes, iTunes tells me that the “device isn’t eligible for the requested build”. I can’t use redsn0w because no matter what IPSW I try to use with it, it cannot be recognized. Sn0wbreeze did not work either. I’ve tried on both a MAC and a PC.According to forecast, my phone can be jailbroken but not unlocked. Bootloader is 6.4.
I upgraded my firmware from v20 to v30 and this phone lock got enabled by itself.every time i've to enter the lock code..i upgraded the firmware to v50 bt still the problem persists.plz someone suggest me what to do!is hard reset a solution? if yes, how to do it and is it safe?

I upgraded my bold 9000 to os 5.0.0 last night and it is now in constant reboot cycle. I let it do all it needed to do whilst connected to pc blah blah blah and it now it just reboots all the time. Gets past the loading bar and then goes to the vodafone screen, then screen turns black, red light comes on, over and over and over again. However, when I plug it in to either my mains charger or the pc, it will boot up OK. Any help would be appreciated as it will soon be going out the window!! Or back to the shop.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a Motorola H17 headset that worked great with my Windows Phone when the OS was at 7.0.After I upgraded to the new OS 7.5, I now can't hear the phone connecting on a call.I can hear the audio say "phone 1 connected" and I can hear when I hang up.It is not on mute on the headset or the phone. No sound of the actual call comes through the headset.And after I close the headset, then I can't hear a phone call through the phone either, so I have to turn the phone off and on to get it to work again.the phone's bluetooth setting goes off and on as it should.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway to put a password lock on the top lock button on a blackberry curve 9320?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I updated my Curve to the new version 5. I noticed that there was no more Keyboard Lock/Password Lock. From my previous software, it was named Keyboard Lock and I set it as one of my convenience keys. After the update, I noticed that it no longer existed. A friend of mine purchased a brand new Curve 8520 with the update already installed of course. She had the Keyboard Lock but it was named Password Lock instead. I have been searching for ways to get this feature back to my Blackberry because I feel it is more convenient rather than the "silent/mute mode" button located on the top of my device. The shortcut to lock my phone which is the "A" on my keyboard quickly "locks" my keyboard only

View 1 Replies View RelatedAhhh, I was about to go to sleep last night and turned my phone off. This morning I turn it on to a different (and icky) lock screen.
I now have a padlock in a circle at the bottom of my screen, which I must swipe to an open padlock to get to the part where I draw my pattern to unlock.
I much preferred my olf lock screen where my little padlock as nestled in between the four icons I choose and I swiped up to unlock.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSomehow I am a huge idiot and decided to put a password on my phone when I was drunk. And I have no idea what I put it as.. I always put it as the same password, but now I enter it and I cant get in. Is there any way around this? or am I screwed and lose everything in my phone.Secondly, would my contacts be saved to my sim card? Or is there any way to get them off before I have to wipe it.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy Wife is en route to South Africa and has inserted her South African SIM card into her Blackberry phone. The phone is asking for a username and password or all information will be lost. Is anyone able to assist, as I would have thought, it would have just required the SIM card pin number to be entered and then the Blackberry service to be activated on that SIM.We are based in India and the Indian SIM has never required a SIM code. The phone is not network blocked, so now at a loss, as my wife will not be ale to communicate.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have finally found a site to unlock my E71. so u don't have to keep putting in 12345 before you can use your phone ((how annoying )) ... Download Nokia PC Suite first (the updated one) from site below ... Or if you already have it on your computer go to control panel click on add and remove then Nokia PC Suite it will ask you to install or repair click on repair and that will give you the updated version ...the only way you can remove phone lock is to update your Nokia E71s software ..But make sure you BACKUP your phone before hand or you will delete everything ..open Nokia PC Suite then click on update software takes about 15min but well worth it,you can also download the games the phone originally came with ... Solitaire etc from this site
hope it works for you I was about to throw my phone at a wall.
I'm running .656 on my 9700 and the phone won't lock while my music is playing is there anything I can do to change that?
