Hi all, after switching on my Asus tf101 today i have been prompted to type in a password before it will boot. this has appeared from no actions/installs that i can think off, i have not even installed any new apps or updates in a few days now.
I have tried to resolve this problem with google searches but have unfortunately found nothing relating to this issue, the only additional info i can provide is where it asks "enter your password" there is a small Android droid with what looks like its a tool belt around its waist.
I have attempted a long press restart which has not resolved the issue, there is no SD card installed, and to my knowledge no security software has been installed that might have caused this.
Help appreciated
edit: have tried using all my standard passwords it could be and all failed
also using standard rom and never tried rooting it
Can you take some pics and upload to an image site?

You may be the answer to some peoples prayers m8. Post in the android 2.2 thread HERE and show them your pic. They can probably help you out.
have posted to it, fingers crossed we can help each other out, ill hold off any recovery attempts until they have checked it out but if in mean time anybody has recomendations on how to resolve please make your suggestions and ill try them once iv heard from the guys doing the 2.2 project.
Nice one. It sucks that your new device is like that though, but maybe some good will come out of it.
Happened to me yesterday. What were you doing before this happened? I was trying to go into recovery and accidentally kicked off a data wipe. I had to power it off and do a data wipe so it would boot again.
i was using the camera earlier this morning, but nothing else, i simply put it on and it appeared .
setup adb, unfortunatly my device does not allow su commands to run
This happened to me the first time I powered up my Transformer out of the box. I called customer service and they promted me to do a factory reset. It really sucks when you turn on your device for the first time and you are prompted to input a password.

Thanks

Go to Settings, Display, and change the font size to Normal. Or go to Settings, Accessibility, and uncheck Extra Large Font. Then try again. There should be another box at the bottom of the second page to check and then an unlock button.
Thank you very much for your help. I hit the Unlock button and this happens:
"An unknown error occurs, which may be a network connection issue. please wait and try again later"
I search the forum, it seems to me that some people have the same problem and until now, there is no resolution?
Maybe, you have to register your device in asus website
And wait few day

Yeah, this problem seems to exist with all Asus tabs. The two resolutions I've seen are to register your tablet and wait a few days (could take hours, could take days) or to send it in for RMA to correct the MAC address. At this point, only registering is a confirmed way to fix this, but it does not work for everyone. If the MAC address is indeed incorrect, Asus says only an RMA will resolve this. But I've haven't heard of anyone getting a unit back from this process and suddenly being able to unlock. Is your tab new?
Hello everyone!
I seem to have a big problem with my phone that I cannot figure out. I'm fairly good with phones and very good with PC, but this problem eludes me.
My Huawei H866C was working just fine yesterday until boom, system freeze. This happened numerous times and most of the time, all I was doing was looking around in the settings etc. My first gut reaction was to factory reset it.
So I did.
When it was done, the phone rebooted like it should, and there I found the "tutorial" screen.
I tap the green android and it proceeds to the next screen which has only one button labeled "Begin"
When I press begin, it immediately throws this error; The application SetupWizardEx (process com.huawei.setupwizardex) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Well, needless to say, I've many dozens of times with no success.
I recall a similar incident with my sisters motorola droid bionic, in which after a reset the phone wanted some carrier info before it would load the home screen and let you use the phone. With that incident, I was able to bypass it by touching all 4 corners of the touchscreen. I can't find anything like that to bypass this tutorial nonsense.
I know that the phone isn't bricked, because I never rooted it. Furthermore, I can still bring up swype keyboard settings by holding the menu softkey. From there, I can click a web link in swype help and open the browser with no wifi connectivity. I can go through browser settings, and swype settings. When I first turn the phone back on, I can even use the slide-down menu briefly before it takes away my access.
I was really starting to like this phone until now.
Is there any way to bypass this annoying tutorial so I can use the phone? Otherwise, I'm afraid my money was wasted.
I have included some fairly low quality pictures to try and illustrate my problem.
ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Well admins, you may as well delete this thread. It's helped no one, including myself. I'm just going to return the phone and get my money back..

And that's exactly what I did. My best advice? STAY AWAY FROM TRACFONE/NET10/Straight Talk at ALL costs! Sure, they give you cheap unlimited everything, but the phones are pure garbage. :good:

So here's a weird one all!
All of a sudden my pattern lock which has been I'm effect changes back to swipe to unlock without me touching it.
I do have a new Bluetooth device and I thought I might have selected this to unlock my device when near but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Effectively I can come backto my device after a while and my pattern lock is no longer in affect and is I stead replaced with swipe to unlock.
Has anyone ever had this?

Maybe you have some settings turned on - under lock screen/smart lock. Try turning off all the smart lock functions there, maybe it will solve the problem.

nope, it's all turned off and it's just happened again

I know it's painful, but try doing a factory reset and check if it happens then. If it does, I'd send it for repairs to LG.
Thanks for the response, but I really don't think that's a fix. I'm still guessing this is something to do with Smart Lock, but I'm not sure where else to look as I thought this was turned off (and it shows as off) in the settings.
It would be worth noting that I'd already done a factory reset recently.....there is no evidence that this would rectify the issue...I believe it might be app/setting related.
Anyone any ideas?
Right it's definitely not a bluetooth device as I turned bluetooth off and it just did it again!

Does this happen in the same location each time? eg. at home
or has this happened in multiple places?
I'm just thinking it might be that you yourself or google have set a home location and that somehow the smart lock settings are picking that up and unlocking for you.
I've had this phone since launch day and I've never come accross this happening before.
You're rooted? If you have a bit of time and you're rooted, you can do a full titanium backup, reset and check if it's still happening. If it does, it's not app related, just your phone being weird and most probably in need of a reflash : D
If smart lock's disabled, it shouldn't do that, regardless if he had set a home location or not.
One more thing, if you can and you're willing, give us a list of apps you've got installed. I'm no expert, but I'm sure we can find a solution if we brainstorm hard enough.
Thanks for the responses guys.
This has happened in multiple locations for a start. Rather strange I grant you.
I am rooted and I could do a test but either way I'd like to know what had actually caused this...
As for apps... See attached. Nothing brand new though that I recall.

Sorry mate, no idea The only thing that comes to mind is that android wear software, but I assume that's the bluetooth device you mentioned.
Moving thread .... don't believe its a sprint issue
I switched from sprint to T-Mobile. They screwed up and let us keep our old phones and did a discount for the hassle. I figure I don't need 2 S8's so I would just sell it. Welcome to my nightmare.....
So I factory reset the phone to get all my data off, I did this through the settings menu. No issues the phone reset. It was at the beginning new phone screen so I just left it and placed the phone on craigslist.
I get a buyer and we meet at the store. The lady who works at sprint and was going to verify the phone was not stolen starts the phone and asks me for the password..........huh?....
The phone is at a password screen and I have maybe 5 at most that I use various combos of, none of these work. She brings it over to the "techs" there are they say they have never seen this. I then apologize the the man who wanted to buy the phone and proceed home. I do some searching online and find out how to get into certain menus and do resets, and re-flash the stock rom. Even after those it wants a password.
I then think I'll just use find my phone with good and unlock it. Well it is a sprint phone and I have T-Mobile now so it has no connection, and I can't get past the password to get to the wifi settings. So google says it can't find my phone.
I contact Samsung and since it’s been less than a year they say they will help. I send in the phone and they send me it back with the crack on the back of the phone fixed and nothing else. I called and they said they have record of me asking for help with a password problem. I then ask if I can send it back and get that taken care of and they said it would cost 150$ because they fixed the phone......huh?
I really just want this password off the phone. At this point it’s a matter of I am more curious about finding a way to get it off the phone than selling it. I’m also open to all ideas. Taking it apart, flashing something third party on it.
If you need pictures I will get them up shortly. Or a video. At work currently, so I can probably reply in a timely manner. If you need more info please ask and I’ll try and get whatever you need
Thanks in advance

EDIT 2- sigh* I don't know why the images are sideways. They show the lock screen // the fact that is is not FRP locked // i have done a factory reset
So I moved from a Note4 to this Find X2. In my previous phone, I had a setting to display a custom message in the lock screen "If you find this phone please call...". When yesterday I set my new FindX2 I was prompted to move my previous android configuration to the new one. So I did.
Now, I want to remove this message as I noticed it is wrong, it says to call to my own number, which, if phone is found, they would be ringing the phone itself... So anyway, I dont need the message there. You guessed it, there is no option (as far as I searched) to removed this setting. If any of you can lend me a hand on this... I wouldn't like to restart the whole setting and configuration from scratch again.. Please let me know if you know how to delete this message. Thanks.

Yeah that option doesn't exist. I miss it. You may need to do a factory reset to get rid of it..

What...? Seriously this is an issue they should solve. It makes no sense to import a setting that can't be set anymore.

I have a message on my Find X2 Pro too after moving from a OnePlus 6T.
Hopefully the option will appear on an update. If not, factory reset seems to be the only option.
I did a factory reset and didn't import anything this time, having to manually set some stuff.
Too bad, oppo, they even didn't reply as costumer service.
