Hi there,
For more than a year ago, I found this LG E-975 at my work after closing (I work at a restaurant/night club) and tried to find the owner..posted on social media, asked guests and waited for anybody to turn up, but no one came in and asked for it..so after around two months I turned it in to the police (swedish) and after almost 9 months I got a letter from them that I could come and collect it as mine, because no owner was found..
However..
I'm an apple-user (prepared to be hanged until dead) and found this phone when i was cleaning som boxes out, and was remembered why it was put there...it's a passcode on it, and I don't know if you can restore it without the passcode or so..
Was thinking to give it to my stepmother or little sister when it is of no use to me, but want to restore it before and make it usable first (of course..)
Have never used a LG in my entire life, (except for the tv) so I have no idea of what program to use or anyting..
Is there someone who know what I can do?
I'm on Windows 7, 64-bit if it helps anyting
Regards,
Jesper

This is my second V1620 in about three weeks: the first replacement was after about nine months because the SD card slot stopped working. The replacement suffered severe touchscreen drifting and needed alignment every five minutes so they swapped it for me.
No complaints about Blue Angels or Vodafone: here's my problem. I use SPB Backup and am very careful about this to restore my system so that TomTom continues working OK. However after restoring my system today I find that TT (Navigator 5.21) is now coming up with a different device ID than before so my continuity is broken.
Does anybody know why this would be? I have checked the ROM version and there is no change there, although I am in desperation about to flash using the same version. I have no logical reason to this but I am clutching at straws!
All suggestions gratefully received, and many thanks in anticipation.

Strange.. My Vodafone v1620 has a deviceid of PH20B2, check if yours is like this, using GetDeviceData
Thanks xan, that is quite correct. The thing is that every pocket PC generates an unique system ID every time you do a hard reset. This is stored in software and can be overwritten by restoring a backup. In this way programs that are keyed to that ID such as TomTom will continue working even after a hard reset. If you do not take a complete backup, using Activesync or any other tool, then you would find that they stop working which is the situation in which I find myself now.
The strange thing is that I have made hard resets and restores many times over the months without a problem, hence my appeal for help!
Do you know where this id is stored?
No idea, I'm afraid. All I know is that if you make a full restore then it reverts. I believe that it may be referred to as System ID or SID as under W2K and WXP.
OK first will start with a complain. Maybe I was unlucky but although I love my Touch Pro 2, I really feel like the Hardware is not that good... Today my screen completeled jamed up (White background with blue/pink/green dots). The phone is still working (I can receive calls, etc...) but cant see a thing
I doubt it's linked to my Windows ROM (Original one) since when I boot up I cannot even see the screen with the ROM/Radio and Booloader version. It's only when I switch the screen on and off that I get the jammed screen (Otherwise it's black). So I can try to Hard reset... but I believe it's rather the video controler that is dead
Anyway... since the phone is still working (Activesync works !) and I stupidly didnt backup my MMS and SMS... I was wondering if someone knew how to back them up from my PC (For contacts and emails they are already backuped through Outlook)
Thanks a lot in adavnce and good luck with your device... (I cnat be 100% negative, I know many freinds who had to return their ipHone... Just pissed off that it happens to me without any particular reason)
Btw anybody got the same problem with their phone and found a way to fix it ? I am just so pissed off to ahve to ship it and wait for weeks without any phone...
Try MyMobiler. I'm in a similar position, my touch screen has stopped working, I can "drive" the phone on my PC using mymobiler.
Good luck!

Thanks gonna give it a try to PIM backup before a Hardreset
There are many free to try remote control apps for windows mobile, they work in the same manner as pc remote cotrol apps and allow you to fully control the device from your pc. Google will find them easy.
You can also backup the databases via activesync.
Have you tried a tv out cable, perhaps it's just the device's ribbon cable that is damaged............
Cheers,
Beasty
Looks great
But why the hell my PC is not laucnhing Acivesync when I connect my Touch Pro 2.............. Happened to me in the past with my Hermes and I have no idea why. I am offered to acces to the files or sync my media files but not to sync... Aaahh the worst time for this !!! Gonna google that...
I hope I dont have to enable it on the device... (It reminds me of soemthing on some custom ROMs where you ahve to allow sync through USB... (Though in tis case it's the original ROM and it still proposes to see the device files...)
**** Reinstalled the crappy Activesync (Or Mobile center for the new version) and it worked. Cant believe... the laptop is brand new. Anyway thanks a lot the Software is great and will allow me to save everything
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.

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

Hi everybody, maybe anyone knows me, this is my first post anyway, I have been here for about 2 years, since I bought my HTC S621 "Excalibur". It has been 2 comfortable years with my best friend Excalibur...but It's time to say goodbye, because his battery don't work like before... It just lives 1 hour and then I have to connect it... so, i was looking for a new HTC cellphone, and I will buy a HTC Tattoo I'm so happy, but i have a few problems...
One of them is, my contacts, OMG! when I turned on my cellphone today and connected it to the PC, the traditional sound that appears when a USB is connected changed for other so strange o_o ... and never recognise it... I took a backup of my contacts with the Sim Manager that comes with ROM that I downloaded from here, so I want to know if there is anyway to restore my contacts to the outlook with that file *.dcb that the Sim Manager generates for me.
I really don't want to restore it one by one ToT so please, there should be a solution for this problem ToT... Thanks in advance...
