I am wondering if all Note 2s allow for using gmail account to unlock phone when you are unable to remember pattern lock. I, Myself, do not have a problem, however, I have seen people mention they can unlock the phone if too many unsuccessful attempts are made at trying to unlock the phone. I do have a gmail account which is linked to the phone. I have tried 100 times to get it to give me the option to use the gmail account without any avail. I am a ATT user, was wondering if this might have something to do with it. The phone is not rooted. Any ideas? Also, it doesn't give me a countdown timer saying try again.
Thanks
First of all, this is my first post in XDA so I'm really not sure if this is the right topic place thingy... Sorry.
I had bought this Sony Xperia T2 Ultra like around 2 years back. And had configured a SIM Pin and all the security thingies, etc immediately because my last android was stolen :3
I never needed to use it though but now a friend of mine's phone got stolen, thus I became more alert and wanted to set up a SIM Lock PIN (I had totally forgot that I even had a PIN before). So when I try to put a new SIM PIN, I found out that there is already a PIN set up and thus I try to guess what PIN I could've set. I had three tries, I lost 2 of them and now I just got only one try. I'm scared to guess again, because if my phone gets locked and I never remember the PIN, then it's gon' be a big problem for me. I don't want to format the phone or anything because I've got important documents on my phone, and lots of apps. It's going to be a nuisance. Let me clear that the phone does belong to ME, I even have the bill and everything. I just want to recover the PIN or change it in some way without having to format my phone.
2nd is probably a small issue but I'm having a problem with my Gmail. See, my ex-girlfriend's android and my android had all the google services linked up to my gmail. Including the Gmail app that I use my Facebook with. It still was the same way after we had broken up and I didn't had the "gmail app logged in" in mind. A few days back, my Facebook account was hacked and random thingies were posted from my account. I'm guessing she probably used the forgot password option in FB and used the gmail app to change my password. I recovered my FB, and then immediately changed my gmail password, used the "log out from all google services" in the gmail website. But I was just checking my laptop, and I can see that the gmail is still logged in automatically on my laptop whenever I open the website. So I'm thinking maybe it's still logged in her gmail app too. Can someone help me out with this too? :3
Thanks a lot in advance ! :highfive:
My 14 month old daughter got a hold of my phone and the fingerprint scanner asked me for my backup password. I proceeded to enter my password of 25 years and it told me i was wrong, it then gave me the option to use my gmail account to verify and unlock, i did that got in and replaced fingerprint with password protection. so here i am thinking everything is great, wrong. phone locks and i put in my password that i just changed it to and it tells me im wrong and now it does not give me the option to verify with my gmail account. Ive tried searching how to get into phone, suggestions were Android device manager which only locks phone and when i tried to change the password it said my phone was already locked and that the password would not be used. so the other suggestion was Samsung Find my Mobile but i have never set up a Samsung account. woe is me. Besides a master reset is there anything i can try? Thanks for all the help.
Hey buddies, I'm looking for some help
Basically I changed the pass of my main Google account one week ago being sure that my browser saved it like I always do but it didn't happen.
I forgot it (prob I'm missing some words) and I can't retrieve it because Google is a ***** one, I tried many times to recover it fullfilling all the camps but I can't complete the recovery mail one since the mail that i I linked with the acc is expired somehow
So I'm looking for a way to recover the pass directly from the phone since I'm still logged in there, I tried with sniffing packets within my wifi but I got nothing and with looking for some database but nothing again
Any ideas or software that can help me out?
A good friend of mine passed away last October and his Wife is trying to unlock his phone to see if there is any last messages or pictures she does not have. His phone is disconnected and has been off and not received an OST update since at least October 10 2019.
Here are a few idea's / things I have tried
1] Reached out to a friend that works at google and offered to provide a death certificate but was told under no circumstances would they unlock his account.
2] Tried to recover his gmail login because I have access to his secondary email account but he never used the google account to send emails so no idea what login his account is even under.
What I am looking for is any additional ideas or suggestions. I found a tool called Dr. Fone that sounds like it might be able to remove the PIN without wiping his phone. Has anyone used this app before and had luck? Are there any other ideas or workarounds I am not thinking of?
Thanks in advance
Dan
Unless the wife can remember his pin or his google account password you're likely out of luck. You might as well try the Dr. Fone software, though I've never heard of it, especially as Google will not help anyone for security reasons.
Curious
I can sometimes brake into my password in my cell by trying over a few times and causing a glitch, just try until it has an error. Also by any chance did she ever use a regular computer at her phone login or maybe send someone an email so you can at least get the address? If you can find the address it is usually pretty easy to get a password so if she had written it or sent an email or anything that is a great start.
You would have more luck with the Google in reality...starting here: https://support.google.com/accounts/troubleshooter/6357590?hl=en#ts=6357650
