HTC One M7 :: Not Allowed To Disable Security Pattern
Dec 27, 2013
I installed Foxfi which required that I create a lock screen password before it would work. I assumed that I would be able to remove lock screen security during the times when I don't need to create a hotspot. But now it will not let me disable the security. I even uninstalled foxfi and restarted the phone but the option to disable is still greyed out. What do I need to do?
how can i open my phone without answering the security question in the security patern? my little child set it without remembering the answer of the security question
I set the trace a pattern security system for the phone. Later when trying to do two things at once I got the pattern wrong five times. I then compounded the problem by getting the succeeding attempts wrong as well until the phone locked me out. Like many others it seems I set-up my gmail account without recording the pertinant details, gmail address and password, these are the requirements to unlock the phone. The official X10 user guide is no help on the subject. I have also been to various websites looking for advice and have found no information at all, apart from don't do it of course! I went to a phone shop and their advice was to use PC Companion to reset the phone but of course I need to mount the phone in order that the software sees it. I am resigned to resetting the phone as the solution as I am backed up but even if I reset I will still need the gmail info to enable all of the Google features. I know it is the result of being a dufus but it seems like a bit of a terminal cul-de-sac at the moment.
So you turn on the X2, you have the green tab that you move to the right to access your home screen. I also have a security lock pattern that I use to unlock access. Is there a way to eliminate the standard unlock feature, so that I don't have to go thru 2 unlock screens to get to the homescreen? On my original Droid, once I programmed the lock pattern in, the standard one went away; not so with this one.
I use a pattern lock and the security lock timeout is set for 30 minutes. I have the screen timeout set to 30 seconds. I have disabled the power button to immediately lock the phone. Every time I open my phone I still have to take the extra step to slide to unlock even though the phone is technically not locked. This is just an extra annoying step. Is there any way to skip the slide to unlock step?
Much to my absolute horror, my 9-year old son handed me my phone with the message 'Wiping' on the screen with a progress bar - Daddy what is this? Oh my God!!! All of my Contacts were permanently lost and I had to set up my phone from scratch again - out of box. I'm guessing it's because he tried to guess my password again. The last time he tried to guess my password about 6 months ago, the phone did not Wipe itself out. Why it would wipe itself out is totally ridiculous. If a would-be thief actually somehow guessed my password, he deserves to have my Contacts, as I choose a password that cannot be guessed. It's up to the user how secure they want their phone by choosing a password of a certain level. It's not up to RIM to choose DEFCON 1 as soon as someone exceeds the number of retries set. It makes me want to get rid of my Blackberry altogether and get a phone that has a more reasonable security measures sequence of events. At the very least, there should be some kind of warning on the screen upon enabling the 'Password Lock' feature that states, 'the phone will be wiped if the number of retries is exceeded, it is highly recommended to Backup your Data using the Blackberry Manager PC software, in order to allow your phone to be quickly configured back to the state of when you backed it up, in the event a security wipe is activated'. I learned later that this was in the manual, but who actually reads the manual? I don't even know where my manual is. If I had known this, I would have most definitely backed it up. I think that since I'm basically starting from scratch, I may as well get another phone, but not one that has this ridiculous feature like Blackberry's.
I have a 8530 Blackberry Curve that the firewall security is enabled and locked. I can wipe my Blackberry using JL Commander and get it to go away, but once plug it back into my Blackberry Internet Desktop Software, it locks it again. I have removed the blackberry desktop 3 times now and reinstalled it and still the same problem.I even went as far as doing a regedit and removed all blackberry information in that. I am stumped on this one. All I can figure is there is something in my desktop computer that is putting the security back on. Again, this is a personal blackberry being used on a personal computer.
I configured my nokia e5 exchange mail and it prompt me change the security code (alias lock code) and ever since, the cellphone locks itself after 40 minutes and I have to be entering the code when this happens, also it requests for the code when I turn on the device. I tried to disable it and is not letting me, it shows the error "Unable to unlock phone".
Is it possible to disable the Phone Data security warning and Allow connection access prompts ?, it's rather annoying, as I would like the Facebook, Accuweather and other apps to just start, without one or in facebooks case two prompts.
I have a Motorola Droid Turbo. I have never locked the phone. I downloaded ANDROID PAY app last night. It required a screen lock to secure credit card. I agreed and set up a pattern screen lock. I got tired of unlocking phone every time. I went to disable the screen lock and I am NOT ABLE to do that. The security settings for NONE and SWIPE have been grayed out and are no longer an option. I have removed ANDROID PAY and still have issue.
i'm stumped and looking for some help. So my password in enabled on 9700 but I can't disable it. Disable does not show up in scroll menu and all i can do is enter password and change password.
I bought a blackberry Bold 9900 2 months ago and now it is showing me the above message I phoned verywhere tried everythimg imcluding getting unlock codes ohoned my service provider the handset is not locked neither is it blocked.
I have an Enterprise account setup that had worked flawlessly until about two days ago. Email comes in, but does not go out. Other features and email accounts work just fine.
my blackberry storm 2 (9550) recently just took a splash of water and as you all might now, water can easily get in due to the spaces bordering the screen. So far my blackberry is working perfectly fine despite one major thing, the browser. It shows that I am connected to my home network, though when I try to load a page it shows the error message, "Unable to connect to the Internet, please try again later." My guess is that the water effected the circuit board?
I rebooted my BB today and after it was switched on SIM not allowed :3 appeared on my screen top!I am just not able to receive any phone calls or texts.. But my BBM is still working!
I'll just get right to it. When I enter the service menu, it tells me that: unlock bootloader allowed: no. I cannot unlock my bootloader. Now, nobody seems to know of any solutions to this problem. I know it is the carriers that are at fault, but I just want to know if it is *possible* to unlock my bootloader. If not, I will have to return this device for one that is more developer friendly.
Skype 2.0 update was just released and it allows skyping over 3g. The downside is that there will be "a small monthly fee" after august. That kind of ticks me off and I hope voipover3g still works with jailbroken phones.

On my blackberry curve 8520 i keep on getting a red signal at the top saying SOS this is vodafone and phone not allowed mm6 plus it has also been unlocked but when i put in my t mobile sim it comes up gprs but i can not call or reieve text.
I'm writing here asking for your support. Yesterday, completely out of the blue, my device stopped working. It can still connect to the internet with wifi, but my carrier network doesn't work. The problem is no due to the carrier (I put my sim card in another mobile and it works!) An error message appears on the screen: "Phone not allowed MM6".I googled it and found that my IMEI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Mobile_Equipment_Identity) was probably blocked. A device is usually blocked by the owner if it's stolen or lost... But I legally bought it on ebay!So what should I do, now? Who should I call for having my IMEI number (and thus my device) unblocked?
I find it very disturbing when I want to forward an email and I am not allowed to edit the contents of it. There are some applications around that provide that functionality but they only allow you to edit emails without attachments. I don't understand why this functionality isn't built in like in android devices or iPhone.Is there any application that provides such functionality for both emails with attachments and without attachments? It is driving me crazy L
I have a E52 bought in Dec 2010. But now, with a fully functional SIM card in, I get the message Call Not Allowed. I can still receive SMS's. Today I found out that when I remove the Memory card, the SIM card works and I can make calls.
my handset was working properly before i did factory reset. After i did factory rest to cancel the forgotten settings my phone fails to make calls by a message call not allowed. When some one calls me my phone does not ring even though it seems am online. What could be the problem with my nokia E72?
I was updated my E72 mobile software via ova suit after then my mobile is not allowed any outgoing and incoming calls but I can receive only messages anybody can help for this problem and I was check my Simi to use other mobile that time it was working so my network side is no problem problem is only on my mobile
After creating a group on the people page, when you try to send an sms to the group, the message does not get sent. The messages do go when they are sent individually.
