Before upgrade I can use the simcard.

I have seen OS6 from the same carrier on blackberry software download section which i prefer to use. If it allows, should i delete vendor.xml file?
Try the remote lock message (message you sent in the SMS to lock the phone remotely) as the memory card unlock password.I upgraded my phone from v210.21.006 to v500.21.009 today. Took all the usual precautions like removing remote lock (didn't reset the custom lock code to default) backup content to PC & memory card, then removed the card from the phone before upgrade. Then after upgrade and restoring settings inserted the card & was prompted for a password. Tried lock code/default lock code before and various other passwords before figuring out it might be the message text for the remote lock.
Upgraded to 2.2 using my home wifi. All seemed Ok and the phone rebooted.
I get as far as the opening screen showing the time and date but none of the four buttons along the bottom of the screen do anything. The only button working is the on/off button.
Tried a factory reset using the volume down and power button. Phone rebooted but I am still stuck with buttons that don't respond and I cannot do anything.
My X10 has locked me out as too many patterns tried and wants my gmail address and password to login. Gmail doesnt work, I've been other forums and tried entering 'nul' as the password, this doesn't work. Then I tried to do a repair using SE PC companion but I can't mount my PC as my phone won't let me pull down the top menu to be able to do this.
None of my apps download anything when the phone is locked. Eg, whatsapp, viber etc.
1. Removed all battery saving apps 2. Stamina is turned OFF 3. Background data restriction is OFF 4. Wi-Fi is ON, even while phone is asleep 5. Said apps are set to correct options for notifications, sound, downloading. 6. No change after upgrading the OS months ago 7. Heaps of Googling to try and find an answer.
I have what seems to be a resonably common problem with my phone being locked out after too may pattern recognition attempts (My son's playfull fingers methinks).
I have consulted the forums including this one and it seems clear that the Log on fix for the google account using null as the password may work for some but hasn't for me.
I have tried to do a repair on the phone, but using pc companion i cannot get this too work, i cannot get into pc companion normally because the software is asking me to put the phone into Usb connect mode which i can't because i am locked out the phone.
method (that works) to get me phone to being useable again? perhaps i am doing the repair method wrong ( holding the back ket then connecting the usb cable does nothing)
I was playing Super Mario world on a emulator and suddenly the phone locked up and froze. The screen went black! My phone won't turn on now!What has happened? I'm running Android 2.3.4
I was able to activate my gprs, then my xperia x10 got locked out but I was able to open it and upgrade it from 1.6 to 2.1. I tried to activate my gprs again, but it won't work anymore
Rooting (or Jailbreaking if you're used to the iPhone) is pretty awesome - it enables you to use a whole bunch of apps that are previously offlimits (such as Titanium Backup - a piece of software that will back up all of your .apks. It also enables you to remove some of the built-in bloat that Sony stuffed onto the Xperia Play which frees up a bit more space for new apps (Who honestly needs the Chinese keyboard on their phone?!)The classic way to root a phone is to first unlock the boatloader and then through that, install a version of your ROM that allows root access. However, although SE are providing a way to unlock the bootloader on a Play, this is not ideal because:Unlocking the bootloader automatically invalidates your warrantyWhen you have unlocked your bootloader, the software update function on your phone stops working as SE consider your phone to be "modified"Most phones are SIM-locked to a particular network and are therefore not even candidates to be bootloader unlocked The solution is to root your phone without unlocking the bootloader. How? A new application called Gingerbreak does it all for you! Literally, all you need to do is download the Gingerbreak .apk, run it and enjoy your new rooted Play. I can confirm that it is 100% working and took about 5 minutes from start to finish.
I have used the security lock on the phone, now I have entered it five times incorrectly, now it asked to sign in through google account but I have desellected the mms & data settings, which means I don't have excess to the internet, how else can one log in or get the secuity.
I have an Xperia X10 with Movistar in Chile, but now I want to use another company, then I use the Movistar instructions with the IMEI in order to unlock my cell phone, but it's not working.I upgraded my cell phone some months ago to version 2.3.3 (gingerbread), then I think that this upgrade is the problem, because I use the code that the web page give me, and the cell phone continues locked to use the other company.
I've a Xperia Z5 with FW final .200 (last one) and I've encountered with a problem with Camera
I've setted fingerprints as lock, with a pin (clearly, for backup).
And it happens that when I need to take a photo rapidly, starting by a black screen (in standby so), through dedicated camera button, I can't modify some settings into Camera, just like modality or resolution or whatever, I can only modifiy Flash or Noflash et similia
I don't understand this choice and I don't respect It too
It's simply crazy to let open camera and we can't modify some settings, just because phone's locked ...
It's better to let modify for taking photos as simplier as possibile, because we can't firstly unlock our phone and then press on our camera button
And I don't think It's for security because I don't think that a thief who moves some settings in Camera can do more damns that He could do
The main camera always goes into macro mode when selected. The selfie camera works fine. But for interim shots the main camera selects macro and the the flash comes on permanently. Phone will then only respond to On/Off button.
I have Z2 and I love this phone but sometimes ı forget my phone in some places.. My problem is when my phone is locked i can shut the phone down I want something when my phone is locked nobody can shut it down..
