I just remembered it after 40 tries. But this is just a serious issue...

After you fail many times, isn't there a prompt asking you if you've forgotten your password or something and then you are asked for your google account etc. and you should be able to regain access?

Just to knowledge i got it changed by remembering ot after 40 tries.
But there is not this thing you said. I know this is there if you have a unlock pattern.
I tested with my optimus and same problem there...

Hi. I have android and ios iphone.
I love Android better.
The only thing I hate in this android is that it's always show name and number of caller when dialing or receiving phone which is really really bad in my business.
can anybody help me to fix this?
I want it only show the Name without number when dialing or receiving phone (like it does in iOS)
that's the only reason I use 2 phones the same time
Thank you very much

Widget locker and in settings there's something in there that I used to keep lock screen on until you unlock it to see who's calling
Sent from my LG Esteem
Thank you but that not the perfect solution for me. Because I just wanna hide number of caller while incoming or outgoing call happens

Okay. So I bought an unlocked g2x brand new from Amazon. Everything almost works as it should: calling,wifi,texting ....the thing is I cannot send or receive picture messaging.
I spent hours on the phone with T-Mobile (ironically bought an unlocked phone that was originally T-Mobile to use on T-Mobile network. Funny right?) and they say because the imei number is unlocked I am unable to do picture messaging without a data plan. I can't afford a data plan right now.
Anyways I'm hoping there is a way to change the imei number back to being T-Mobile specific. In other words: I want to lock my unlocked phone back to T-Mobile.
All I want is picture messaging. I shouldn't have to have a data plan to achieve this. Can anyone please help?

It shouldn't be your imei, it's your apn settings. Go to settings, wireless, network settings and make sure your apn is set for tmobile.
My phone is unlocked and I send pictures without a data plan. Just remember that you need to have mobile data enabled. It uses data technically, but it's incorporated with your texting plan.

You sir are a genius. That actually fixed my problem.
Now, I have data blocked on my phone so I shouldn't be able to use the data thing even if I tried. ...
I did activate that setting and upon successfully sending a text,the 4g logo does come up where my signal strength and battery are shown. Can you confirm this to be normal? I don't want any extra charges on my next bill....
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Call them and make sure there's a data block on your phone. You won't get charged. And yes the 4G logo will show when sending an mms.

I spoke with the T Mobile representative. I believe her exact words were : Now you're not supposed to have multimedia messaging on an unlocked phone, But it's changing that setting give you the ability to do so then that is great.
Haha. But yeah she basically is telling me what you guys Are telling me I cannot thank you enough.

I can send mms. But I can't receive them.....any ideas?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Data turned on when downloading it? Edit your APN, make sure the APN is set to etc.tmobile.com, mmsc set to mms.msg.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc, mac set to 310, mnc set to 260

Did you mean to put "Epc.tmobile. " on access point names?
Would I be asking to much for a little help navigating to those particular settings?
Thanks redmonke.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Ok after rereading, I see you said to edit my apn, which I assume is short for access point names. Should I edit the only one that is there which is "T-Mobile us, Epc.tmobile. com "
Or should I create a new one?
This is of course assuming that apn is access point names.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I did what you suggested, although I had to Create a new apn rather than edit the original because the original will not let me edit it....
After creating the new one, I suspect maybe a miss type in the settings. "Etc " is what I believe you said, but upon using that setting I could no longer send pics.
Once I changed it to "epc " I was able to do so.....
Anyways after creating the new apn as per your suggestion, I noticed that it was an exact mirror of my original apn.
But here's the kicker:
I was able to receive pics so long as my buddy selected to forward it rather than sending it directly (if that makes any sense) .
I then tried to have him compose a fresh message and select a pic to send....to no avail. I also had another friend attempt to do the same only to achieve the same results.
I am having zero issues sending pics.
And so long as data is enabled, I am able to do so.
Its the receiving pics that is giving me the issues.
I don't understand why I can receive forwarded pics....
If anyone can help I suppose I can send my cell number,(with great apprehension) ,via pm to someone who is willing to trouble shoot....

Also, not trying to open a can of worms ; but if I install a newer version of android would that rectify the situation I am having?

Hm so it looks like you are on the latest version. Did you do a factory reset when you got it?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
No I didn't...would that somehow lock my phone to a specific carrier?

No but something might be messing up the mms.

Do you think if I installed a newer version of android I would be able to send and receive texts???
Or if I root it?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Root no, if a factory restore doesn't then I'd wipe data and install cyanogenmod and see if it works.

Dear All,
I have bought s4 and trying to configure my official email address but the exchange is giving me an error: "your device has reached maximum no of divices in your device network"
Kindly suggest what to do.
Thanks

I have resolved it.
For all the viewers. . This option is available Through webmail.
This occurs when you changed mobiles and there is a limit on handsets configured. Through that you can wipeoff your miss placed handset completely.

My nexus 5 has perfect bars on either data LTE or WiFi and most apps say when I open them (Facebook CNET and engadget) say I have no internet connection. I have restarted my phone, put it in airplane mode back and forth. And even contacted Google and they can't tell me what It is.
I need help badly. And as you can see xda works fine lol

I have now reinstalled the apps and still nothing. Any ideas ?

This happened to me, only google apps would connect and nothing else. Check your APN settings in mobile networks>access point names. Make sure the selected APN matches with the mobile company you are paying for (Google APN settings <company>). Do you also have any apps that act like a firewall?
APNs are right. And no apps like that .
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
If you have T-Mobile or metro try adding proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
Trying to see if APN really isn't the culprit.
Sorry forgot to mention. I am on Bell
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Maybe take off your proxy
Proxy:*web.wireless.bell.ca
Port: 80
If it doesn't do anything I'm afraid thats all I know
There is no proxy set.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
If your in Cali then try the proxy without the "*"
Anything ?
