[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] UCE HAMOCIDE:
So as the title says, I have a family member who recently passed away over the weekend. The family is trying to access his phone for any pictures and videos of him with everyone. As of right now, we don't have any info about his Google account info. We're afraid to keep trying passwords in case it ends up wiping the data after a certain number of tries. I tried using Dr. Fone but the unlock software doesn't support this phone. Not sure what to do from here but I thought you guys might be able to help. Thanks, guys.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] RaceFaceXC:
perhaps contact the local police to inquire if they have the capability to unlock the phone? They will probably require that you prove your relationship to the deceased which I don't think anyone on this forum could do. It's not that I don't believe you, but any creeper/theif/etc could say the same thing.

GL and sorry for your loss.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
Sorry for your loss. If he had 2 step verification where you can send a text message to his cell phone #, you could do a Sim swap, pop the Sim in a phone that you have access to. Trigger the 2 step verification for forgot password and it might work.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] JazonX:
I'm so sorry for your loss, and Hope you'd recover the content without much of a hassle.

Good Luck!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] HaRdC0r3:
You can force a factory reset...that will delete apps and texts and any unsaved pics from texts will be deleted....BUT....it will not delete any pics taken by the cam and saved to the phone.

Good luck and sorry for your lost.

Was he logged into Gmail on a computer? Could possibly go to Google Photos and check for backed up photos and videos.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Broadleynine:
sorry for your loss, I hope you can recover the photos.

1st: was already mentioned. sim swap

2nd: Try to sign into their google account. If you know their gmail (you should be able to figure this out pretty easily) and know them pretty well you can probably guess their password especially if you can remember an "old" password they've used because people are creatures of habit and reuse the same or variations of the same passwords for years. Or you can do the "forgot password" option

3rd have the legal rep ask google.

Google lets third parties request the content from a deceased user's account, but this must be requested by the deceased person's legal representative. The legal representative must upload a copy of their government-issued ID and a copy of the death certificate. Even then, there's no guarantee the legal representative will gain access.

If this works, the legal representative would be able to access data from the deceased user's Drive, Gmail, Blogger, Google+, Google Photos, YouTube and other services. But again, if the deceased user didn't back up any photos in the first place, getting into the cloud backup won't do any good.

https://support.google.com/accounts/troubleshooter/6357590?hl=en#ts=6357650

4th: okay, this one is a little macabre and you said password but I have 2 methods to get into mine so I figure I'd say it......sigh.............somehow before the funeral 1) find a way to be alone with your relative and see if either of their index fingerprints will work to unlock the phone OR 2) I GUESS you COULD ask the funeral director to unlock their phone using their fingerprints but I'm not sure how agreeable they'd be on that one.. Look, I know it's creepy but if the photos/vids are important then......sigh.....damn it sounds even more eff'd up reading it than it did in my head. Okay, sorry, I'll stop now....

good luck
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] simplepinoi177:
First of all, I'm sorry for your loss...

I have some inquiries, and then a suggestion...

First, do you know if the former owner had "unlocked" or "rooted" the phone/device? When you turn the device on, is there a warning in the powering up process that "warns" about having an "unlocked bootloader"?

If it is unlocked and/or rooted, there are more/further options that can be done, but only if it is in this "state"...

And as for my suggestion...

You might be aware of how Apple and iPhones/iPads have a sort of "find my iphone" or "find my device" type of connection and protocol on their devices... I've personally used the "Android"/Google version (called Android Device Manager [or ADM for short]) of this to find the last location of my phone and to also ring it. But I have also noticed that they (Google) are constantly evolving it and later added a "lock" option. So, taking it a step further, I checked if there was possibly an "unlock" option; and there is! Again, I personally have never used it and do not know much about it. After some cursory reading, there are certain criteria that has to have been met

while

the original owner was using the phone; but if, by some amazing circumstance or miracle, things have been set up properly (and you know the deceased google account information/login), there's a good chance you might be able to get the phone unlocked. You can find the information all about this here: https://one.comodo.com/blog/itsm/unlock-your-android-device-using-android-device-manager.php

One additional thought I just thought of while writing this, along the lines of talking to Google and explaining the situation, even if you don't have the google account information/login, you might be able to obtain that information from them if the situation is explained and they have protocols for this type of situation.

Again, I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope this helps. Good luck to you...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] TheCrowing:
Update: I was able to get this working using Navbar Apps with some tweaking of their settings. Check out that app if you are running into the same problem.

Hey Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone came across this and has found a workaround.

When I install themes my navbar changes to white when opening the keyboard and it looks strange with the all black keyboard. I have tried multiple themes and it happens across the board. I have only found one theme that I have been using called Blue and Black AMOLED that remains black when opening the keyboard. In further testing I found that it may be the SwiftKey Keyboard as it appears to work with the Samsung Keyboard. I much prefer the SwiftKey keyboard over Samsung's. I have tired the app Navbar Apps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.damianpiwowarski.navbarapps which kind of works but it kept showing a background on the home screen if I pulled down notifications.

Please see my samples below.

I tried to attach images via link but they were broken so I attached as files.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

used my sim

after the factory reset i used this sim to activate the phone

i used root to get rid of this is not a verizon sim stuff

i cant activate the phone using a verizon simcard as i just dnt have one anymore and im not in america
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ibuprophen:
The reason I asked this is because some individuals don't realize that some SIM cards are for GSM Networks and others are for CDMA Networks. This may be the reason it worked for your other devices.

Also, the signal strength for the towers your Verizon S3 is trying to use may not be strong enough for the LTE Bands itself.

Another possibility is that you might not have the latest Firmware Modem installed as reflected on the following thread.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3735628

There's a number of factors that it may be.

im runing the last firmware samsung made for the s3 which is 4.4 ive checked and there is nthn after that from samsung for the s3 verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ibuprophen:
I really can't state for sure about the SIM card...

Your issue is really challenging to answer without actually seeing it myself. There are times when this happens with certain issues.

I couldn't ethically provide you with any real course of action if I'm not confident enough that it's what you may/might/actually need.

My deepest apologies! :(

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] klabit87:
This is my kernel compiled to my liking.

I may consider requests/suggestions but that does not guarantee I will add it.

This kernel is upstreamed to 4.9.151 which I will be continuing upstream as I get time.

No need to reflash magisk! The kernel is patched for magisk during the install!

I can only recommend what I and trusted others have tested so I recommend ARK1 bootloader.

If you find any issues please don't hesitate to post in the thread. I will do my best to resolve any issue.

As of now, there are no issues at all.

Please enjoy and provide feedback if you choose to use it.

Thanks.
