Get into download more and factory reset is worth a try but if you look hard enough. Or you tubes there's ways to do it I saw a video about that on YouTube the other day but I didn't bother looking at the video.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galexandr:
I don't know how to get pass the lock screen.

However afrer hard reset, although the data will be wiped, u can dial

##786# 》 View 》 mobile number.

For sprint phones, unless u activate this phone on a different account, previous number is stored.

Good luck
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Just take it to a sprint store if its a sprint phone.

Not saying you are because i don't know anythong about you. But even though you said you want to track down the owner. Asking how to get around security measures on a phone makes the thought of keeping it or selling it for $$ pop in my head. Again no offense.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nnamssorxela:
Thanks for the info guys. I know it sounds a little shady, but if I was really trying to keep it I'd say; "LOL forgot my password, pin, and google info hehe I'm a silly gurl plz help!" Problem is I found it on a mountain and I'm out of town and there is no service for me to answer any calls it receives. by the time I drive back down to get service, I'll be too far to turn back to return it.

I'm trying to do the right thing, but if it's going to be next to impossible it might just be a lost cause.

If there was no password on it, it would take me a couple minuted to track down an email or phone number I could track this guy/girl down with, unfortunately, if this is not the case it I might hold onto it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LordLugard:
You're trying too hard to be a good samaritan. This is simple. If it is a Sprint/Verizon/AT&T/TMobile phone, stop by the nearest Sprint/Verizon/AT&T/TMobile store and just simply drop it off saying i found this phone and want it to get back to it's owner. The employees know how to look up the details via ESN and or IMEI and get in touch with the account holder. It is that simple.

All this asking for how to bypass the PIN or lock code is irrelevant....unless you have personal designs on the phone yourself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
It doesn't have to be the store nearest to where you found the phone. It could be any store. They all have the same computers. And can ship phones.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Freznosis:
Hey guys, I picked up a new Samsung Galaxy S II (T-Mobile) about a month ago from the retail store.

About a week ago I was using my phone as a hotspot for my xbox and then I got disconnected while playing. I wondered what was the problem and I saw the data icon was in the no connection state. Now I restarted the phone in case it was the simple loss of signal bug but it wasn't. My data wasn't coming back on. No matter what I did the connection wouldnt come back on. I called the tmobile tech support and they gave me rubbish things such as reboot phone, take out battery and wait 20 seconds, and all that jazz. I then noticed a pattern starting with my phone, the phone would connect to 4g then a second later disconnect. It would repeat this all day and not change to anything else. If anyone can help with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue a few weeks ago. It was the SIM card. I only had the phone for 2 weeks and got a new sim card when I got the phone. It just went bad. Go to a corporate Tmo store and get a new card. They will give you one for free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] asutherland:
I have this same problem with my SGH-T989.

I'm running CM 10.1.3 (Android 4.2.2), and it's vendor unlocked (used to be a Rogers phone) now on the TELUS network.

Data will randomly disconnect, but I still have all signal bars in grey. A reboot will enable it again, or sometimes it just comes back on it's own. I've been to the cell booth in the mall and they've swapped out a SIM card for me, no change.

I also noted that when the data isn't working, my WIFI doesn't seem to either. Modem issue? How can I tell what modem I have and what would be best? I assume CM 10 comes with it's own modem for this phone and when I flash CM it writes the modem too?

thanks for any help.

We all know how easy it is to cheat developers and find apk's on the internet. Well it seems developers are complaining and if nothing is done then they will focus on the iphone appstore matketplace. More details in this articule http://androidprirates.blogspot.com/
[Android General] dxppxd:
Ever heard of installous on iOS? Piracy will find a way. If most resort to only iOS, chances are piracy on the Apple platform will also skyrocket.

The thing is, trying to fight piracy head on is an uphill battle, and after so many legislations, millions spent on safeguards and lawyers, and bashed sites (megaupload, piratebay?) pirated stuff is as easy to access as before (and for a lot of stuff, its even easier today).

I believe that if piracy is costing so much money, then there's a problem with the business model. Labels and record companies had to accept this when they adapted the napster model to online stores like iTunes and Netflix, and stopped charging ridiculous amounts of money for CD and DVD without added value (remember the last time you paid 30 or 40 bucks for a 10 song CD back in the 90s? Now its usually a buck per song).

Bringing down sites that offer pirated apps will cost more money than what it's worth, it's just information that can and will be put up again in a docen other microsites.

Troughout history it's the black illegal market that has innovated and pushed the legal market fordward to meet people's demands. In this case, i believe a lot of piracy on android is the result of not having alternative payment methods (how i long for iTunes-like prepaid cards on the playstore). Also, such an open source platform could make better use of the add-serving model the internet is based on, after all, that's how Google makes money anyway.
[Android General] Chupacabra6969:
Well it's impossible to stop piracy. They should just make app's cheaper and more people will simply buy it. Profit for everyone.
[Android General] spunker88:
Don't assume that 100% of pirated app downloads were going to be bought. But the issues facing Android with piracy are no different than Windows for example. Nowadays most expensive Windows programs contain a way of activating online when first installed and some even check the software key when downloading updates. Even with this, there are still pirates that get around activation. But there are still plenty of programs and games being made for Windows even though its had these problems with piracy for decades, despite what "Don't Copy That Floppy" warned. I don't see Android being any different, developers and Google Play will just adapt better app activation.
[Android General] eugenerudenko:
Absolutely agree with you on that. The only way to fight piracy is better protection and online activation can improve this situation (like in case with the activation via Steam account for PC games).
[Android General] zarpy:
Even though there is piracy in appstore , I still think android is much easier to pirate. There is no jailbreaking needed , just one click and install.
[Android General] TechMasta:
There's no point removing sites like this.Pirates are gonna find a way around it. just make apps cheaper and people will buy them ;)

Yeah your right plus the googleplay store isnt good when it comes to refund. You can buy the game save the apk , then get a refund. Its like there is no way developers can win.

True you can't stop piracy but there are signs that piracy on the mobile platforms are slowing down. This was the reason that Installous shutdown because they weren't having as much traffic as they used to.
[Android General] Billy Madison:
nobody really cares, Android is primary OS for developing countries, like Brasil, India, China, Africa, east europe & cis, and if google would DRM its Play well ppl in that part of world will turn to some opensource alternatives like Firefox OS, Meego, Tizen etc etc. And Google will find itself with declining android phones sells and even less revenue. It's like with Windows, till Vista it was easy to pirate and B.Gates intentionally did that to grab market share from Apple. And only then, in 8th version they made some good antipiracy lock with addition to cheap affordable price. Now it's easier to pay $70 for upgrade from W7 to W8 than look for loaders and sorts

To combat piracy, provide value added services to legit owners like perhaps a unified scoreboard, gaming social features, and more. Similar to steam.

Does anybody else with this phone get a hissing sound during calls.

When I am on a call and the other person talks there is a slight hiss sound in the background when they speak. As soon as they stop speaking the sound completly disappears and there is complete silence. Is this normal? As coming from an iPhone I do not remember this. I think the complete silence after they have spoke probably makes it more noticeable.

Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garymontague:

Are your phones brand new and what network you on.

If you can switch to GSM then its better. Then you will not notice any Hiss sound.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsifM3100:
I am wondering if its a software issue. If 3 would release the 1.29 update that might help. Failing that I might have to S-OFF and install international update.

How do I switch to GSM manually. It regularly changes to 2G when it loses the 3 signal and piggy backs onto another carrier (i think Orange).

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herzlich:
Its realtive easy. In Android Development thread, there is a sticky thread about this. Download Easy Root , One Click Method and follow the procedure. you have to register at HTC Website to get your boot unlock code and then its simple.

I had a good success with REVONE as well. Quite easy and handy but I will recommend you to go with Easier one. If you have any questions, ask :)

But believe me, custom ROMS will not solve the issue as not all users are having this problems. THat Problem is arising with some certain conditions. Like VODAFONE and 3G network. With other network no hissing.

Google Edition is really looks orphan compared to this one.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsifM3100:
Hi Herzlich

So you have even tried 4.2.2, the latest version of Android released by HTC and it still hisses. I didnt realise that you had attempted 4.2.2. Its only just been released. I doubt that 3 will release it here in the UK anytime soon.

What have HTC done that makes breaks Vanilla Android and causes the hissing. Is it called optimisation :p

Maybe some dev could compare the code and identify the mod?

By the way, is the Easy Root thread the one started by Doomlord back in 2011? If not would you mind posting a link.

I was also looking at the rooting kit by Hasoon2001but I wasnt sure which version I should dowload as they seem to be for the USA (ie, AT&T etc).
