[Vibrant General] PathogenX:
Demo2319 is correct I just tried it on my vibrant and it worked even though my pass. Tested and confirmed here.
[Vibrant General] intruda119:
alot of people are selling LOCKED PATTERN devices on ebay now.
[Vibrant General] kponti:
Hey seriously does this work? I have a Vibrant and two other Android phones (ie three different unlock patterns). I took the requirement to do the unlock patern off on the vibrant for the last couple of months and when I thought of allowing it I realized I have been messing with the other two phones more and forgot the unlock pattern on the vibrant.

Currently my Vibrant is in use but I will like to be able to lock the screen now that my GPS and lag problems are much better fixed, but I do not want to wipe everything first. If this works I can enable the lock pattern and try different patterns till I get to this screen....but it has to be for real before I loose all my connections and presets etc on the phone.
[Vibrant General] Oniyuri:
yeah, i've noticed that too but tbh, i wouldn't buy one of those just in case it was stolen. i'm hoping ppl will also be as wary of those devices.
[Vibrant General] Erickomen27:
This Is What Happened To Me, My Friend Kept Doing The Unlock Pattern And Made My Phone Get Locked Out, I Wasn't Worried Cause I Had My Email And Pass, Well Turns Out The Email And Pass Didn't Work...At All, It Kept Saying It Was Wrong And I Couldn't Go Into Recovery Mode Or Download Mode Because I Guess It Was A Hardware Locked Vibrant? I Have No Clue, Long Story Short This Is What You Do, Either Switch Out The Vibrant, OR Go Into ADB And Fastboot, Reboot Into Recovery
[Vibrant General] Bato Vukovic:
I tried this, it still will not go to recovery mode. Are there any other ways of having to put this phone in recovery?

I am so pissed.

thanks guys
[Vibrant General] khmerpride:
If your phone does not get into recovery or download. Best thing to do is just bring it into samsung for warranty repairs or exchange. Samsung canada covers it now free of charge. That's what I had to do, nothing worked for my first i9000m to get into recovery/download.
[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
you are full of chit my friend. I've locked myself out of multiple android devices using the lock pattern and my gmail account unlocked them all.

If you don't know the unlock code and don't know the gmail username and password for your email account... sounds pretty darn stolen to me.

prove me wrong and I will be happy to help other wise go find a new route you thieves.
[Vibrant General] Bato Vukovic:
I did not steal this phone I bought it. I just calle tech support in Canada, and they told me to call tech support in the US. The US tech support told me that to do a hard reset, I have to hold down the Vol up and Vol Down button and power button for 15 sec and then let go to get to a reboot screen. I tried and it did not work. Then I asked to send the phone in for repairs and they said that it was not in warranty since I used it in canada???? Now I am **** out of luck.

cheers.
[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
so you can't go on google.com and do a forgot password if for your gmail account? Once you try 5 times it will then ask for the password for the gmail account that is linked to the phone.

Once you have typed in the correct pw it will let you set a new lock pattern. I've done this numerous of times. If you can't retrieve your gmail password.. that is what I find fishy.
[Vibrant General] henreeg:
I hate it when people capitalize the first letter of each work.

anyway... this happened to me, and I put my phone under tap water, took out the battery.

I put the battery back in, and viola!

My phone was unlocked.
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
My G1 did that to me once when I forgot the pattern and the e-mail thing didn't come up and I got mad and threw it at the wall and when I picked it up it was unlocked. You should try that.
[Vibrant General] aeok18109:
both methods above work great. you gotta make sure the water is REALLY hot. like 15 degree burns hot. unfortunatly you gotta hold the phone under the water for about 5 minutes before it will unlock.
[Vibrant General] pnguyen5:
Well, I've got it to work with only mildly hot water. Like one that would give me at best 4th degree burns. Worked like a charm. Sure, my hand is tissue-dead, but hey, that's what Speakers are for, right? ;) No regrets. At. All.
[Vibrant General] quest4fire:
The OP is not making any sense. 3 suspicions here....1) If kid locked it with a pattern, then they are savvy enough to remember the pattern cuz you have to do it twice in order for it to take. 2) After 5 tries you should get a prompt for Gmail to send you instructions on how to reset lock. 3) Why hasnt he taken back to Tmobile store for help?

All I know is if I was a thief, I would go to XDA for help.
[Vibrant General] aeok18109:
Thats what im talking about. See OP i told you it works. now kindly DIAF :D thanks pnguyen for being a team player and showing the OP it does in fact work
[Vibrant General] fit333:
Ill have to try that. I have an idea, take it back to the owner and ask them to unlock it.

[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
You put your right foot in,

You put your right foot out;

You put your right foot in,

And you shake it all about.

You do the Hokey-Pokey,

And you turn yourself around.

That's what it's all about!
[Vibrant General] Graph.Two:
I'm gonna say it again!! Show some proof of purchase before you start asking for help!!! Especially when you know you could have used the search feature. However, OP you decided to start a new thread and get flamed on.. hell I've seen 3 new threads in the past 12 hours about a "forgotten lock pattern" seems like its fad rather then an actual problem now.
[Vibrant General] jameskever:
It was a real problem for me a couple days ago. Thankfully I located the receipt and tmo replaced my phone.

There seems to be a problem with hardware locked Vibrants. It will not verify the google account. Resetting the password will not work because it's not checking when you click "sign in".

I disagree with psychics who some how knows the phone is stolen. Mine wasn't. But that didn't stop a bunch of people from insinuating that I was a thief.

So what if it is stolen. What skin was taken off of your back?

But whatever. I got a new phone and this one is NOT hardware locked, which makes the whole unfortunate incident a blessing in disguise.
[Vibrant General] fit333:
**NEW FIX**

At your own risk..

1 Remove battery

2 open command promped on pc

3 plug in usb

4 type "format c:" hit enter

5 replace battery and power up

Should work, let us know.
[Vibrant General] ShinyBuddha:
I see what you did there and I like it....smart!
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
i heard "format c: /q" will unlock it quicker. I did the format C: the other day just for ****s and giggles and took like 5 mins were the /q method takes less than a min.
[Vibrant General] kponti:
So you keep exchanging a phone with a GPS that doesn't work properly knowing that it is a well documented issue with this phone and thats ok? You exchange a phone cos YOU bricked being a complete idiot and that's not stealing?

Ok so ignoring the retards on the thread....

To those who have had gmail verification fail.

Have you changed your gmail password since you first got the phone?

Since the concensus is the phone doesnt seem to check online for the google verification, it will be safe to assume it is using the password you put in when you first setup the account. If so the that mystery of failed verifications could be solved and I can freaking lock/unlock this phone and put on a pattern I can remember this time lol
[Vibrant General] kponti:
I DID IT!!!

I called customer service, they encouraged me to lock the phone and try my gmail info, I did and it worked for me.

I believe the issue with the gmail verification is that it is not linked to the website like you would think it it. SO if you change your password after you initially setup the phone, it does not change the password in the phone's memory. You have to use the original password you used when you first setup the phone.

My phone now has a pattern I remember (my old pattern from my Mytouch), so I am good. Thanks to all the people who helped, and the rest of the morons can go to hell.
[Vibrant General] xxxkahunaxxx:
purchasing password locked phone from trusted ebay seller

i would like to know if its possible to bypass a password locked phone because one is for sale on ebay, from a 100 percent feedback seller but the phone is password locked, hence going to be cheap...but i wont do it if it cant be unlocked....

it is a USA unlocked phone and i will be in canada...

i wont have warranty to help me, so i am asking here if its worth buying based on being able to reset the password without being able to contact previous owner.

is it possible?
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
100 percent "good" feedback from a seller who is selling stolen phones
[Vibrant General] masterotaku:
I call BS. If it's the seller's legitimate phone then they should be able to unlock it. If not, and it's a person with half a clue bypassing the lock is childs play (at least for many people here it is).

The question you have to ask yourself is WHY is it being sold password locked? At some stage someone is avoiding simply asking t-mobile to reset the phone (which they will do for free for the legitimate owner of the phone). Someone somewhere in this equation is being dishonest. Do you want the phone so badly you've decided not to care about that??

If that's the case it's unlikely many would offer to help you.
[Vibrant General] cwoodworth:
While they're most likely stolen, if the person is selling a TMO Vibrant from Canada, it's possible that they couldn't get warranty from anyone, and have just given up.
[Vibrant General] xxxkahunaxxx:
just sells phones!

the ebay seller i was reffering to has sold 460 phones...

obviously has a source for store returns or refurbs or something...would it be reasonable to assume this seller deals in stolen phones and has stolen or recieved/resold 460 phones and no one has gone after him???

a bit of a stretch i would think!!!!

anyway...i was just looking for an answer to the question of can it be done...

besides i know if my newer phone was stolen i sure as hell would be reporting it to my network provider, making the phone pretty much useless to anyone trying to activate it...

so i would think there would be 460 really pissed people with useless phones if that was the case!!!

so, again,... is it possible to unlock/bypass/reset/use a phone that is password locked???
[Vibrant General] unknownx_X:
I took the plunge!

Hey xxxkahunaxxx,

I think I might have a clue which seller you are talking about... I bought a Vibrant from him that was pattern locked... It came just the phone and case without any manuals or cords... Turns out I'm SOL with this device, it's hardware locked :mad: ... I managed to pull out the phone's email contacts so I might email them asking if their phone is missing...
[Vibrant General] lianglqufo:
Same thing.

Just got a Vibrant from eBay and it is locked by the pattern.

Did the factory reset and it didn't work.

I want to know is there anything I can do to get in the phone?
[Vibrant General] mbison83:

[Desire Themes and Apps] Danifamous:
So, after switching to OpenDesire I saw some of the new-ish features since I last used it at 4.0.xx such as the ability to have a theme server in OD updater.

After getting annoyed with having to wait for some themes to be updated, I thought a list of OD theme servers would be good in one collective place.

Black Bar Themes : http://www.eltriki.com/opendesire/themes/blackbar.json

BluFrost : http://www.iinga.net/od_themes/themes.json

To add, go to OD Updater -> Configuration -> Theme Update Settings -> Manage Theme Servers

I'll second that but a couple of questions as well...

In the 3.14 Leo dump there isn't a equivalent 'CMWifiAdvanced_1_0_5_0' package so what does this do? Is it something extra that is added by the 'Wi-FiWizard_1_45_2_0' package? Also I only have 0804 language files from the Huashan, have these been translated to 0409?

Thanks, Andy

[G2 and Desire Z General] HenrikPalm:
Maybe this is not all too important, but I am very curious about the video quality this phone will record. One thing I have always sacrificed when buying htc (one of the first ones with qwerty, can't recall it's name, the tytn 2 and hero) is the picture and video quality. I am into htc and android for the android fun, not the multimedia, but this time I do not want to have a camera which shoots video and images poorer than a two year old Sony Ericsson or Nokia phone.

So, who is first one up to post, and how soon? :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] xspyda:
The Desire Z doesn't seem to be getting as much interest as the HD. I can find a video allegedly shot with the HD but nothing for the Z.

If this is anything to go by (and you have to assume that the HD would be the better quality of the two) I think we must resign ourselves to the fact that HTC are not at all hot in the camera / media department!

Shame ...
[G2 and Desire Z General] JupiterDroid:
This is the reason my gadgets are an iPod touch 4G for media and HD recording, and browsing and phone is going to be a Desire HD;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] xspyda:
Wow! Why would you pay in excess of £450 for just a phone!? I know the Desire HD does more but if you use your iPod Touch 4g for all that it's essentially just a phone, right?
[G2 and Desire Z General] shurilo:
HTC camera

It is more to Qualcomm than to HTC, since the image quality depends largely on the image processing hardware of Qualcomm chip, and they are not so strong in that department (Samsung and iPhone are doing better there).
[G2 and Desire Z General] xspyda:
I am sure this is true to an extent but surely HTC could invest in better quality sensors and consider the likes of Carl Zeiss optics or similar? This would make a MASSIVE difference and would rely less heavily on post image processing algorithms to achieve passable picture quality.

[G2 and Desire Z General] StuRoid:
Both the videos recorded from the HD and Z are only in 480p and that honestly does look poor.

I've seen some videos from the G2 in 720p that did look a lot sharper than this did.
[G2 and Desire Z General] who knows:
true, but the g2 720p doesnt look no were near as good as to say galaxy s 720p also very blurry when moving the camera (from the videos ive seen from the g2)

does anyone know if this can be adjusted by software or is it just the hardware that is rubbish?
[G2 and Desire Z General] HenrikPalm:
I actually just noticed the resolution my self. So stupid not to check the quality settings before starting to record.
[G2 and Desire Z General] who knows:
i would love the desire z to have the quality audio/camera of galaxy s, im in two minds, buy this and put up with the rubbish audio quality/no so good camera or buy the galaxy s?
[G2 and Desire Z General] lovelldr:
Have heard of people saying that the galaxy s isn't as good as htc, in terms of the senseui being really good... Also, do you want a hardware keyboard? Galaxy S doesn't have, and I know I wouldn't be able to live without the hardware keyboard...

[General Questions and Answers] dcepero:
Hi, I installed Launcher Pro and I see a huge potential for customization. Except I'm having one issue. No matter what I set the default home screen to, it always reverts to 2.

I can change the number of homescreens just fine. I wanted to have 5 screens with 3 being the default. No matter what though, it always reverts to 2. I tried to set the deafault to 1,3,4,5,6,7 and always it goes back to 2.

I'm running on a rooted Hero with Extremely Blue Mod with an uncapped kernal.

I was thinking maybe I had to give Launcher Pro super user privileges or something but if I can change the number of homescreens then that means it's saving changes correctly. Any help?
