My tablet has an option called forgot the password that appears in lock screen and working with google account, but it's not working for me. When I enter email and password nothing happened. While this feature require internet, there is no way to turn on WiFi.

Little Help Needed.

Hi bro's is there any perfect software to password protect my contacts and sms messages?
i have Wizard with windows mobile 6.0
if there is any please tell me..
Regards.
Theres obviously the password protect built into the phone. You can set it to every 5 minutes, like i do, and then it will prompt you to enter your PIN or Alphanumeric password everytime the phone is inactive for 5 minutes. The only issue with that is once you unlock your phone it will allow you to access your contacts therefore if someone grabs it from you, so can they.

Enter two PINs at startup

Hi,
this is my first post. I've read this forum and didn't find the answer for the following question. I have HTC Touch Diamond 2 Topaz WM 6.1.
For company policy reasons, I have to lock the device after a few minutes of inactivity. I use the standard feature AllSettings/Personal/Lock with a Simple PIN. It works fine.
The problem is that, when I start up the device, first of all, it prompts me to introduce the Simple PIN for unlocking the screen, and then the usual startup PIN. So, I have to introduce two passwords for accessing the phone.
I don't want to use S2U2 or similar because of performance (moreover, I've seen the same problem with S2U2). The standard mechanism is OK, but I would like to workaround this annoying double PIN entering.
Is there any registry tweak or something to avoid the unlocking screen at startup?.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Marc,
My company's IT department also put restrictions on my phone. I have Blackberry on mine and there is lots and lots written about the issue of the security policy for this. Do you have Blackberry on yours? I can help you if you do.
Or do you use MS Exchange for your emails? I know nothing about this.
Either way, you should only have one pin to enter, not 2. Have you set up your own security unlock via start/settings/Personal/Lock too? If so, you should be able to disable this one.
How can I lock my phone after a while?
Thanks for your answer. I use TD2 WM61 and Lotus Notes with Lotus Traveler as a sync mechanism.
To lock my phone with password unlock, I go to settings/personal/lock and configure it with a Simple PIN. The problem comes when I boot my phone: it asks for this Simple PIN, and then it asks for the SIM PIN... which is annoying. It seems like the startup process is slower than the locking mechanism and then, first locks, then asks for the usual startup PIN.
Initially, I don't want to use software like S2U2, TouchLockPro or similar. Is there a way to customize the lock feature?. Or is there a different way to lock with password my phone?.
Thanks again.

Internet Calling - How to enable?

Standard Android supports internet calling; Call > Setting > Internet Calls
Samsung sometimes disable it in some regions via CSC feature.
/csc/features.xml : <CscFeature_Contact_EnableIPCall>true</CscFeature_Contact_EnableIPCall>
Enables SIP calls, but it doesn't seem to be working on my Note 4.
Do any of you have internet calling enabled? If yes, can you post your /csc/features.xml file?
Thanks.
anyone got a solution for this?

I can't download it from play ... i suspect it doesn't work on lollipop and the developer made the choice to block it for lollipop devices ...
i'll search the apk and try it ...
but i guess the apk is playing with the settings too, maybe someone could give a hint on what and where to change in the settings
thanx for the answer!
wifi sucks too since lollipop ...
Hi guys
internet call works fine on Note 4
if you create a contact with a SIP profile (like [email protected] - may be done online and synchronized) and try to call it then you receive an error and the setting to add any SIP accounts open. register and call works fine.
after my test i removed all SIP accounts in order to force the error again and enter the menu.
I guess if i don't remove all those accounts the the menu is vanished forever.
I wasn't able to activate the setting for allow to receive calls.
So...
It works but the menu-entries are disabled. Shame on you Samsung!
My hope One of you freaksters and androidteers can do something however to enable those two entries in the call settings menu.
live long and prosper
Ben
PS
You can remove the SIP accounts as long as you can open the setting in the "history" but better kill after your experiments
any news on this one ?

How do you manage to remove your SIP account ?
I manage to have SIP enabled with CSipSimple : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csipsimple
But the calls to mobiles don't work.
EDIT : Damned ! That was tough !
I managed to launch the SIP settings window with adb.
This is the command
Code:
adb shell am start -n "com.android.phone/com.android.services.telephony.sip.SipSettings"
And you're done !
The settings window for adding an account is here. You can now delete/add acounts
You can install Quick Shortcuts Maker too. Look for "sip" in the normal search. There's only one answer.
But better, search for "account" and create a shortcut to Phone Account Settings. You can now choose to receive the calls, define which account must be used for calls, create/delete/modify accounts.
If you install Nova Launcher you can access loads of hidden functions, including Phone Account Settings. To do this you add a Nova widget called Activities, scroll down to Phone (third instance with 96 sub-entries), and from the list of sub-entries select Phone Account Settings. Then use the shortcut it creates to access SIP account settings, and voila.

OK Google "Trusted Voice" not always unlocking the phone

This is kind of a strange one. When I first boot up the phone in the morning and try to use the "Trusted voice" feature it makes me put in my password as well...I fully understand this because the phone was just turned on so it is a security feature. This is where the problem begins. The "Trusted Voice" feature will work for a while with no problems at all. Then all of a sudden, out of the blue, it will let me ask my request but then before giving me a response, it brings me to the password screen to type in my password and I get a little icon at the top asking me to setup "Trusted voice". When I click on the icon it brings me to the screen to setup up the Trusted voice but it is already set and I don't have to do anything?
I really hopes this makes sense...Any help is greatly appreciated!!
I just want to add that I have the Sprint version and I am not rooted.

S3 Neo locked via google dashboard, unlockpassword wont work

hi guys,
i got a little Problem.
My Mom lost her Phone (samsung s3 neo) and i locked it via google account manager, on the site were you can track you lost phone and let it ring. I set a message with my phonenumber and a passwort to unlock it ( it ask for a number and a special sign).
We found the phone but the password i set wont work and the screen only shows "enter password" without any message or phonenumber i entered on the website. (its my standart password so i cant be wrong...)
I try to set a new password on the google tracking site, but it wont aks for a new password again. only says locked.
Then i found some setting directly in the dashboard to lock your phone. i set a new password, it says phone lcoked, but the new password wont work neither (weired is, this form only ask for a number not for a special sign)
i tried her googleacountpassword, her pin but it all wont work.
i saw a video an yt with a bug in the lockscreen of the s3neo, but it wont work on my firmwareversion.
does anyone know how to resett the lock via the google dashboard or how to fix this issue? i cant be the first one, who got that problem.
I know i could resett it via factory menue but my mom had some stuff on the phone without backup...
maybe someone has some idea?
