Unfortunately this site only deals with HTC phones, not LG. So I doubt that you will get much help here, sorry.

dang. since it's an android phone i thought this place would be a good place for help. any suggestions on where i could get help?
i called lg and rogers and none of them were any help

I will get mine in a couple days (running HTC Dream right now).
I guess if your goal is to just reset the gmail account, you can do so by reseting the google apps setting.
Go to Menu|Settings|Applications|Manage applications
Look for “Google Apps“. Select it.
Press “clear data“
next time you launch the market or gmail, it will prompt for your gmail account again.

I wish I could do that, but the phone won’t even let me go to home screen. Once I turn on the phone it asks for the gmail to get past security. The only access I have on the phone is Emergency Dial

On the EVE to do a FACTORY RESET or DATA RESET
enter in 3845#*620# in the dialer to get in to LG’s hidden menu.

DO THE FOLLOWING TO RESET LG GW620 TO FACTORY SETTINGS.
Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button, MENU button (the one on the keyboard), and CAMERA button for about 5-10 seconds, and a message will come up asking if you want to factory reset the phone.
Important : all data will be lost

GW620 Factory Reset
Hi, Just to let you all know that I been stuck with a home page that would not load properly but would not close either for the last 24 hours before finding this page! No calls, texts or anything!! I was starting to have withdrawal symptoms. LOL However as long as I got my phone on, & with a little manoeuvring, I managed to get all three of these buttons pressed together & my GW620 did indeed go to the Factory Reset message! Thank you Davy.d

Just to clarify it.. Phone should be ON when you use that key combination. Will work. Tested.

the combinations don't work...the only thing you can do is flashing another firmware it resets the phone

Samsung galaxy s2 I9100P

Hi mate, when you say 'locked out' do you mean a password or pattern at the lock screen, a SIM (network) lock, or a PUK/security lockout?
The more info you can give, the more I can help you

pattern lock out.

No worries
First, try this. It's for the AT&T GS2, but may work on yours too.
Alternatively, you could have a go at this method.
There may be others too. That came from just a quick Google search. The final alternative would be to factory reset the phone, but you will lose all your photos etc. from the phone

Thats the problem its gone past the pattern stage now its asking me to enter my email and password,
which i have done many times now and still doesnt change...
i will do factory reset as a last resort.
thankyou

Is it possible your daughter changed it to her email/password? Just a thought
If not, a factory reset will get you out of trouble, although it's not ideal.
Best of luck with it, let me know if you need anything further

all my contacts etc are saved on the sim and the memory card.
how do i do a factory reset?

Are you running a custom.recovery, like CWM?

HELP! TFT300T is Locked with Google account

Hi guys, so one of my kids decided that they want to password protect the tablet (think it's cool) using Google account.
So, now each time the tablet boots up it is locked and ask to sign into Google account. Here's the kicker, they did this at their friend's home using the friend's Wifi connection, and now that they're home they couldn't connect to our home Wifi because the tablet is locked and so they couldn't sign into Google or activate Wifi.
Is there a way to remove this lock? The tablet is useless last couple of days. Can we do a factory reset or something similar?
Really appreciate all the help.

Yes, doing a factory reset will put the tablet back as clean slate. You can set up the account like a new tablet. The only downside is you will be losing the apps you have installed already.

Thanks. A clean slate is fine. How do I factory rest? I am on the original ROM.

Follow the steps,
Power down the tablet.
Press Power and Volume down button together for 10-15 seconds till you get into the bootloader menu
Use volume down keys to navigate to wipe data menu in the two or three icons (depending on 4.2 or 4.1 bootloader)
Within 10 seconds of the selection of the wipe data icon, press volume up to confirm selection.
Press volume up again to re-confirm (bootloader will prompt the re-confirmation)
Wait for the data wipe to happen (will take 10-15 mins max)
The tablet will reboot and you will be presented with the setup wizard like when you got your new tablet.
Hope this helps.

Do you have any ideas on how to get the drop-down menu to work?

When my I535PP was working, I remember using this bypass. If you install apps that give Notifications and leave the phone on for a half a month or so strait and the bar should pop up. But if you hit the home button, or go to restart the phone your notification bar will go away, and send you back to the activation wizzard. I guess it's just the way it works. Use a home button alternative app. I mapped the hold down to settings and the tap to recently used apps, kinda like a task manager. Worked great until my wifi decided to stop working
Good luck, hope this helped!

Thank you! Your info is much appreciated! :cyclops:

No problem, and just so you know this is the specific app I was using:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.home.button.bottom&hl=en
Enjoy!
PS: The app will also open while you're in the activation wizzard. Just let it sit there for a little bit when you first boot it up. If you have it set to open up settings you can hold it down and get into the settings without having to do the whole going to contacts and speech thing. Essentially skipping those steps. (Your phone might have to be rooted though)

PIN pad OK button greyed out?

Hey guys,
I'm hoping to tap into the minds of those who get crafty with Android. This is my last resort, I don't know what else to do.
I'm wondering if it makes sense to you guys that deleting an entry in the mobile Active Sync window of a user's exchange mailbox would disable the OK button on the PIN pad of an Android device?
Here's our situation: a user comes to see IT because his Outlook(app on Android) profile was disconnected and after having tried to enter the correct credentials many times and not be able to login, we decided to remove his device from the exchange Active Sync mobile menu of his user mailbox in exchange. Afterwards, we still weren't able to add his account in the Outlook app, so we figured, let's just reboot the phone. We couldn't simply reboot the phone because the OK button on the PIN pad was greyed out. So this device being a Samsung A50, we simulated a battery disconnect with the phone keys and when the devices boots up, we're not able to get past the login screen because we still can't press the OK button that is greyed out.
We do manage our cellphones with an MDM but it's not able to connect because we aren't past the login screen. It's my understanding that the OK button lights up when numbers are being entered on the PIN pad, but in our case, it just stays gray as we're typing the password.
Would there be a way to install a custom ROM on the phone and have access to the user's images? We have his PIN, we just can't press the OK button.

turns out... user was typing the wrong password :x
He figured it out a week later
