Dear Guru, Developers and Users
Today I encountered a strange problem.
I've been using my Note 8 (with a lock PIN) for about a year.
I didn't change the PIN and it was the same PIN all the time.
However, as of this morning, when I woke up, I used it to check emails.
After that I went shower and when I came back and tried to unlock it, it said incorrect PIN.
I did type in correct same PIN that has been using for a year.
But, now it keeps on saying it's wrong.
I really don't know what else to do other than hard reset and I don't really understand why.
So, please kindly help me and share your experiences/knowledge to overcome this.
:crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:
PS: I installed a new keyboard a week ago. Is that the cause? But, it was working fine until now.
Thanks!
Sorry, but the only solution is hard reset
Connect to the PC and copy all the data (backup).

I have a very big problem on my XDA IIs, i cannot unlock the phonelock even though i input the correct password.
-on my way home, my phone got emptied(battery empty). and then when i opened it, the problem began. please help me. what should i do?
-i have read articles stating that it is a common problem when the battery got emptied.
-my phone is an O2 xda IIs WM 6.5, serial 2.7.
-ty for the reply....
as i told you via pm already, there is no way to unlock the phone, once you set a password. the phone "forgets" the right password and would say, any password you put in, is wrong. that is why the only way to get rid of the problem is to re-flash the phone. a hard reset won't work, since that would be a terrible theft protection and also there is no way to backup any data, since even connected to the pc you are not given any access to the phone. that is why, in several threads here, and in several positions in my tutorial, i warn people, not to set a password in a cooked rom. you can do it in the stock wm2003 rom though, it works perfectly fine.
if you feel the need to protect your phone using a password, you need to look for 3rd party software to do that. i think spb has a nice app for that.
Hi all,
have had my Desire for a couple of months now, well pleased with it. I have not in any way modified it other than installed some apps from market. This afternoon after lunch while it was in my Brodit car holder I suddenly noticed it was asking for PIN code. Entered it, fine. But then a couple of minutes later, same thing again. And again.
Just now I was typing an SMS to somebody and just before finishing screen blanks out, then the screen asking for PIN comes up.
What the heck?
Anybody who has had similar problems and knows what causes/caused them?
I haven't had the battery or sim card out or anything, it just suddenly started doing this.
Cheers

*edit*
I have tested switching off the phone, removing battery for a couple of mins then reinserting and rebooting, but same problem persists.
Wonderful, we're going on holidays in 2 days.... :'(
Well I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the problem was, tested with another SIM but same. Completely random, sometimes it would last half an hour sometimes not even a minute.
Did a clear storage/hard reset and after that all seems fine. Except for that my conversations were still there, but somehow if I get an sms from somebody now it's added to the wrong conversation. Then if I reply to it, it goes to the person in the conversation, not the person who sent the msg
Deleted all msgs now so should be sorted. Think a problem with all contacts syncing to and from Microsoft Outlook, it messed up all phone numbers like this:
46 2342423423
so no + and a space between country code and phone number. ANnoying as heck but haven't figured out if there's a setting in outlook or htc sync to solve this.

What ROM/Radio is it running?? is it unbranded??
I have no idea. Bought from Komplett here in Sweden, i.e. unbranded and unlocked. It's running what it came with since there haven't been any updates and I haven't the balls to start experimenting about with it
Strange, I just picked up my Desire today. I rooted it this evening and only noticed it happening after rooting it. I didn't run it for very long unrooted though, so I don't know if it's related. I wonder what's causing it.
maybe this helps:

Thanks but it goes to SIM lock rather than phone lock... like when you first switch on your phone. The phone doesn't reboot though, it just asks for the SIM pin all of a sudden, even when you're doing something on it.

i also had this problem (well more or less) for me it happened when my cellphone signal dropped to limited service (or no services at all) after the phone picks up a signal again its asks for a pin. you mind want to check this out aswell. i fixed this by going into the settings and fiddling around with network/mobile operator settings and such, soz i cant remember exactly, but this did the trick for me.
hope it helps.
I was going to take it back to the shop when I thought I'd try a different ROM first. I installed the OpenDesire 3.0.1 Froyo ROM last night and so far it hasn't done it yet. Maybe the official Froyo ROM won't have that problem either.
Tester app
Hi
I've been having the same problem on my X10 Mini Pro for the last couple of days. To try and figure out what's causing this I've made a small app that checks the sim-status periodically. If it's not available or a pin-code is required for unlocking it the phone starts vibrating plus default notification-sound.
If you're fast you can check your device's LogCat with aLogCat (available from market). At least you'll get notified that you're unreachable
Since I have no Market-account yet you have to upload it to your phone manually with adb. Search google for a howto.

Hi!
Do you have Exchange 2010 sync?
Hi have the same porblem with LG Optimus 2x.

Hey, so I changed the password on my phone about 3 weeks ago, no issues since then...till about 3 hours ago. My phone seems to have changed the password on me. I've tried entering my new password multiple times, old password, last 4 digits of my phone number, 0000, 1234, etc and nothing has worked. I know how to bypass a password on Windows computers, so is there a way to do that with WM6.5? I really hate to hard reset my phone again because I have a bunch of new numbers I haven't backed up, and since its locked itself out I've gotten about 20 texts and I don't know how many emails that I would like to read. Emails not a problem, texts...yeah. Anyways, HELP PLEASE!
Password issue (too)
The exact same thing happened to me!! I'm so p!ss3d!! I did nothing to my Tilt2 to cause this. It just suddenly changed and now I cannot even reload the ROM because WMDC won't connect without it being unlocked. Just last week I loaded the latest Energy ROM dated 24 July. Could this be a ROM related issue? Looks like a Hard Reset is next!
I also had this problem. Had a look around and people seem to suggest it happens when the battery goes on low power (for me, I turned my device off - long press on off button), and after turning on I couldn't get back into my phone. The only solution I have seen is to hard-reset (a real problem as I had encrypted the SD card!). So now I am really wary using the password, but I really dislike my data being unprotected.
so ive got my 8 yr old a s7 active for his birthday (today) my missus gone to set up his phone hooked upto internet and then its started going to some app that we cant login too im presuming its frp protected. Now im struggling to do anything with the phone because its automatically going to this app. Now ive tried following guide but it fails continuously ive tried different leads usb ports etc seems bootloaders out of date?

I decided to set a new pattern lock for my Redmagic 5G last Saturday night and when I woke up the following morning I can't seem to remember the new pattern (Alcohol was a factor).
I have hard reset the phone but the pattern did not go away. I contacted the company and provided them with pictures, IMEI number and receipt for the phone and they simply said that they cannot provide technical support for me because I am in a country where they have been embargoed by (U.S.A.).
What to do? Please HELP ME!

Not sure if you were able to solve your problem...but it seems like there are certain software you can download for windows to help open phones when you have lost or forgotten your pins or patterns. stuff like 4ukey on android. may be worth a shot to look into. I've never personally tried any myself but sounds like you might have to try something in that area to help you out. hope you find something.

Hi,
Thanks. I did try the 4ukey, it does not work. They basically have created a UI that just gives you the hard reset steps that I already knew and had done. It is not some magical trick to rid the phone of FRP LOCK. I honestly think they are a rip off.
