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)

Hey guys,
HTC TP2
Carrier: Telus CDMA
Mighty Rom
I am still looking to get a software or a config thats will auto-lock my device when i push the top button.
I tried CSDEVCTRL.. it worked for a couple hours then it stopped working. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but no change.
the only way I can lock the phone is through start menu then "lock" button bottom left.
is thre anything else out there that can deliver like CSDEVCRTL ?
is there anything I can do to completely remove CSDEVCRTL and reinstall it ?
Could it be a configuration mistake on my side of CSDEVCRTL?
Any help will be appreciate.
Cheers guys!
Have you tried Onlock?

Try this one. "Smart Lock"
smart lock cant be found ?
Hey thanks for that answer... I downloaded smart lock... but I cant find it anywhere... it is not listed in my programs... its only there in my "remove program menu"
any tips on that ?
thanks
Try :Start/Settings/System
still having the same problem..
Auto-lock isnt working.
i found it in start/setting/system but even auto lock isnt working at all.
i tried with both program "Smart Lock" and (CSDEVCTRL) at least 15 times and still not working.
the funniest thing is that it worked before.... could it be a config mistake on my side ?
it seems that even if I unsinstall (CSDEVCTRL) it keeps my personnal setting... any way of getting rid of my personnal setting and reinstalling ?
thanks again guys !
goto the registry and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 1... that will enable the windows lock when you press the button at the top of the phone.
It is located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd
Make sure your reset your phone after you make the change.
There you go!
There you go my friend!
Much much much thank for that!

Hi there,
Is there anything I can do for a T-Mobile ZTE V768 gingerbread phone that doesn't enter recovery mode(it freezes) or download mode(it reboots),
and can't start because it has a pattern and it is locked for T-Mobile? The phone was sent to a friend here in Honduras from the USA. I have really tried to help this guy but have not met my goal yet.... Any ideas would be totally useful....
Regards and thanks in advance,

Hey dude hope this will help
A couple of weeks ago, the iPhone world discovered an exploit (not fixed) that allowed anyone to bypass the lockscreen and access the phone, messages, and even pictures.
Well, the bug has been caught in the GS3 world now, too. A few days ago, mobile enthusiast Terence Eden discovered a flaw that also allowed limited access to certain features of your Samsung Galaxy S3, and only in very certain circumstances. And it works no matter what protection you have enabled...Pattern Lock, PIN, Password, or Face Unlock.
Steps to Exploit #1
Lock your phone and turn the screen back on.
Go to Emergency Call.
Select the Emergency Contact icon on the bottom left.
When in the Emergency Contact screen, hit the Home button.
You will see a flash of your Home Screen (no matter what launcher you are using).
In that second when the Home Screen flashes, you can select an app/widget to execute.
The limitations with this exploit are that almost anything you select will run in the background, and you will be back at the lock screen. Where this exploit can be effective is if, let's say, you have a Direct Dial widget on your homescreen. In this case, someone can hit this widget, and the call will go through.
While this is something that should be fixed, it doesn't actually allow you to do much, so really, it's not all that scary. Unfortunately, the fun doesn't end there.
Yesterday, Sean McMillan of Full Disclosure opened up the initial exploit and discovered something much scarier. If successful, not only will this exploit open up the full contents and capabilities of your S3, but it will disable the lock screen completely until the phone is rebooted.
Steps to Exploit #2
Lock your phone and turn the screen back on.
Go to Emergency Call.
Select the Emergency Contact icon on the bottom left.
When in the Emergency Contact screen, hit the Home button.
Immediately after hitting Home, press the Power button.
If you did this correctly, the next time you press Power, your device will go directly to your homescreen.
This is obviously not good. Sean does note that you may need to do this multiple times to get it to work. Also, it doesn't matter what launcher you are using, or whether you are using a lockscreen replacement or not.
In the interest of full disclosure, I tried about 30 times, both with my rooted/modded phone, and with a bone-dry stock phone, and I couldn't replicate it.
But, just because I couldn't do it, doesn't mean it isn't real and dangerous. At this point, there has not been any word out of Samsung regarding this exploit, but I imagine a response and a patch will be on their way shortly.

How can you get back to the activation screen after doing this?
Just in case anyone stumbles on this for the LG Optimus Exceed 2 like I did... this actually bricked the phone... it freaked out and rebooted (after bypassing the activation mind you) and then after the third time trying to reboot, complained about secure boot being violated, and now won't boot at all.
This worked for the Zone 2 as well.
Exceed 2 activation bypass no longer working??
I just got a new LG Exceed 2 Verizon. Tried the Vol up, Vol dn, back, home key sequence. No result at all. Watched youtube video and duplicated keys exactly. Make sure I was using the right back (bottom left) and home (bottom middle) keys.
Firmware change stop the activation bypass??

i just picked up my lg optimus verizon prepaid. i was able to bypass activation by using the vol up, vol down, back, and home button.
it didn't work for me at first but when i tried the sequence faster, it worked. try to do it as fast as you can.
also, the "home" button is the physical button that can actually press down. i was a bit confused about this.
best of luck!

Yup, after about 8 tries, it worked. I have no idea why. Did it the same every time without touching any other button. Tried many reboots. Perhaps it was timing, as I did get faster each time since I knew what I was doing!
BTW, I LOVE this device!!! Not using any of the cell capabilities, but as an Android device, it is wonderful. Just had to enable writing to the SD (kitkat had an issue here which you can google) and then had to move a lot of stuff to SD card since internal memory is limited.
Thanks
Worked like a charm the very first time I tried. Thanks :good:

Just bought one. What's wrong with activation screen? Its not like i have to provide my credit card number. I don't know what happened to mine. I followed instructions to activate and then accidentally pressed canceled towards the end of the process. Then it took me to android initial setup screen. I entered google email, password, connected to network. I don't plan to use it as a phone and don't care for verizon. Just needed the phone. Not sure why activation screen needs to be bypassed. Let verizon assign a new number and plan. I don't care.
Awesome! Worked great! Thank you! :good: :good:
I just grabbed one of the Exceed 2s at Best Buy yesterday for $14.99. Unbeatable deal for a decent (expendable?) mini-wifi tablet!
Yep, just select "pay later" during the activation, then turn the cellular radio off.
This worked like a charm to bypass the Activation screen for the LG Exceed 2 that I just picked up from BestBuy.
You don't have to be a speed demon to get it to work, but you also can't be too slow or take your time with it. With any phone, when pressing any kind of key sequence for anything, you have to press each key within less than 1 second of each key press. Kind of similar to the old days of the nintendo when pressing in a key sequence to activate cheat codes and such. You couldn't be too slow with pressing them in, otherwise the cheat code (key sequence) would not work. The faster you are, the better, but you also don't have to be road runner about it either.
When you correctly finish the key sequence, you will get a pop-up that asks you if you are sure you want to exit the Activation menu. Obviously select yes. then your good!

I ordered one for $15 from Amazon. It arrived today. Your trick to bypass the activation screen worked like a charm. Thanks! Now I can use the phone as an IP camera as planned.
Would this work for the LG Ultimate 2 as well?
Will this work with a LG L3 phone?
I have the lg tribute 5 and this does not work because thers no back or home button. Any suggestions?
I thought the phones usually gave an option to skip the activation anyway?
Hello. My son passed away last month suddenly, and I am trying to gain access to his cell phone, (I want to see his texts) a Samsung T599, with T-mobile service. It has a lock screen enabled, alpha-numeric, and I've spoken to t-mobile a couple of times, and they can see no away to bypass the lock screen without knowing the code.
I do have access to my son's google account, but unlike some I posts I have read on other forums, after attempting five password attempts, no "reset using google account" button appears. If I could reset using his google account, I'd be all set up, as I have access to that. I've tried accessing Device Manager on his Google account, someone said I could lock the phone, and set a new lock screen code remotely, but that Lock button is not seen. The phone is located on a map, but rather than having a Lock or Erase" button, it says 'Setup Lock and Erase." I click that, and asks if I want to send a setup notification to the phone. I click yes, but nothing happens. I can't access the Lock feature from Device Manager.
I read on another forum that I might be ably to bypass the lock screen by downloading a certain zip file to a micro-SD card, insert the card into the phone, and then enter reset mode or something like that, by pressing the on button, up volume and home key simultaneously. I was able to do that, browse to the zip file, start it, but then I get an error, something about being "unsigned."
I'm really hoping someone can help me here. It's very important that I gain access to the phone, without doing a master reset. Thanks for any and all help.
