Pattern lock wipe after 10 failed attempts disable? topic

So I'm used to the asop lock screen in which I can have a pattern lock on it to keep my friends from messing with my phone. With this one it just means they're going to try 11 times and wipe my phone.

Or if my cousins kids grab it and want to use the pattern lock as a game it will get wiped. (seriously anything like that is a game for a 5 year old).

I'm amazed they still didn't add a way too sense to disable that bit of the lock screen. I just want a password. I don't want it to wipe itself at all...

[Q] Cracked Nexus 4 Screen with pattern lock, unable to access contents... topic

I cracked my Nexus 4 screen and because of the pattern lock, I cannot unlock the phone to access the contents via usb/pc.

Is there any possible way to access the data on the phone from my computer in this scenerio? I read a few thread and didn't see any solutions.


Also, what are your thoughts on the ebay screen/digitizer replacements from china for around ? Seems like a much better deal than having someone install it for 0.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S3 KOREAN too much pattern attempts *LOCKED* NEED HELP topic

I have a Samsung galaxy s3 korean which my brother gave me to fix, it was locked due to too much pattern attempts. i tried to look up how to go to recovery mode, it says Vol Up + Home + Power . but it doesnt seem to work. i tried another method which includes downloading some adb files, running cmd and typing some codes which basically tries to remove the gesture.ket from settings database, but this also didint help. i tried to wipe data on ADB, but i need root access, which i dont have in it.

So, any idea how i might fix this Samsung Galaxy S3 Korean ?

Too Many Pattern Attempts topic

I think i already know the answer to this, but this is a last resort....

A co-worker brought me his son's (Sprint) Evo 4G LTE because his son inadvertently locked himself out of the phone. When you unlock the screen you are presented with a gmail account login screen that states "Too Many Pattern Attempts".

I have looked into this, and tried a few things but so far have been unsuccessful. It isn't really a problem to do a factory reset EXCEPT the kid has quite a few pictures he's taken on the phone and doesn't want to lose them. I read on the HTC website that you can factory reset without losing data on internal storage by selecting the right settings, but it is not specific when it comes to doing a reset from the recovery menu (or hboot menu... I'm very rusty on all this). I am assuming that this reset will in fact erase internal storage?

I can't access it via ADB, as I'm sure debugging would never have been selected, I have tried calling the phone and tried pulling down notification bar, getting into contacts, etc.... but everything takes me back to the login screen. My friend set up the account for his son, but can't remember what the user ID is that he created. I tried everything I could think of based on the possibilities he gave me, but no luck.

The devices drive shows up under Computer, but since the device is locked, clicking on it prompts me to insert disk into drive.

Does anyone know of any kind of "hack" that would either get me into the device or allow me to get the pictures from internal storage?

[Q] Too many pattern attempts /bypass google lock screen topic

Hey,

got my phone (htc desire x) locked again (yes, I am stupid sometimes ;)).
First time it wasn't a big problem to me, just adb into it an set a pattern value to 0 an boom, lockscreen bypassed. Problem : since then, the androidversion got updated from 4.0 to 4.1 and it doesn't work any more.

My situation:

Bootloader locked.
Not rooted.
no custom recovery installed.
USB debugging enabled.

My question now is, is it possible to bypass the google lockscreen on an android 4.1 device? Tried different funny things like pushing home button or calling myself, then some more komplex ways with adb commands and so on, but all of them lead me in the end to either a custom recovery or root.
I'm not sure, if there is a way to get a CR on an locked device?
Or does anyone know how to adb pull some files from the data section?
And I read something about adb'ing into the device in recovery and removing the security settings, what about something like that?

Cheers,

Dex

PS: Hope it's the right section for the post.

PPS: To prevent any questions, yes, it's my phone, I don't want to steal anything, if I would like to steal the phone, I would just resetting it :)

I just got an Xperia Z, and I don't know the pattern topic

Alright, I just purchased an Xperia Z, second hand, but i don't know the pattern. I have tried various times to hard reset it, using dozens of tutorials online and it wouldn't work. Another problem is that my computer is unable to find drivers for it, so I could not even reset it using Sony PC companion. Tips please?

It is really frustrating to slide and then to enter pattern on my DHD. You are sliding enough in the pattern in my opinion... Is there a way to bypass the need to slide before entering password?
