Help how do i bypass antitheft screen lock

So this is protection against unauthorised SIM changes (which might be just a simple radio switch you ticked once and forgot about)? I'd expect that if you have a SIM PIN active it would ask for that every time you restart the phone (and I'd not expect a new SIM to have a PIN set).

Have you tried your usual lockscreen PIN or your Google password?

Something creepy happened...

That member (who had posted between Danny and Mike, since deleted) was simply copying the last line of my earlier post. Which is what all but one of their posts does (the exception may be copying from a different thread). Some of their posts have links inserted, though not this one.

Draw your own conclusions. I've already invited the mods to draw theirs.

Smartwatch Recommendation? Pebble 2 Replacement?

As a user of the first-generation Pebble, yeah, there's not really anything else on the market that comes close - which is kind of amazing considering how long ago that watch was released. My focus lately has been on Wear OS watches... but I do hate how bulky they are and how they've gotta be charged pretty much every night.

I think a Fitbit is probably going to be the closest to the Pebble even without font size adjustments.

Root [T-Mobile] Format an Encrypted SD card

Ok this is kinda off topic but I encrypted my sd card on my phone its a moto from cricket just a cheap phone and Ive reset it multiple times its not the best phone but its good enough for me and ive never encrypted it and of course the one time I do my phone crashes I had to take it up to cricket because my 128gb sd card wasn't working on anything and they couldn't fix it without some out of this world fee so I kept it in my drawer and I came across this and was like ok maybe this would work and I loaded it up and tried this sd card formatter I didn't think it would work but it was worth trying intead of buying another $70 sd card at bottom dollar and it worked it didn't work on quick format but the overwrite format it did thank you all I don't think I would have fixed it on my own.

Help Text messages going blank after few seconds

Hello, new to android phones and I need some help. I have a S7 Edge that started doing something weird. If I go to a specific person, their text messages will show for a few seconds and then the message part goes blank and just shows an white screen, like the messages disappear. If I send a text, or back out of the app, the messages will show for a few seconds again, but then disappear. I tried restarting, I tried clearing the cache. Neither work and I don't know what else to do. It's my girlfriends number, which makes it worse because I text her the most. Did I mess up a setting or is this a known bug that has a fix? Any help or suggestions would be a great help! Thanks.

Apps last updated time.

hi~
My apps pushed to alpha test and formal release at the same date (2019/11/22) and location is Taiwan (GMT +8)
I'm curious about why the apps appears on Play store, the "Last updated" time shows 2019/11/21.

Is it time zone problem caused?
Last updated time could depend on US. time?

Thanks~~

I believe it is US time, specifically PST(where Google is), and China time(CST) is nearly a day ahead of the US.

Help Unable to access Developer Options Taping Build Number

Sounds to me you guys need to get some stock ROMs and flash the phones in order to rid of the dreaded FRP lock on them.
Only then will it work, in 7.1.1 they made it so "Build Number" is not even an option.
It was only until I was able to find the stock ROM I was able to even see it.
With flagship company phones it's much easier.I had a Treswave TW801 and I had a hell of a time. Good luck lmao.

-News,
So I dug around with an app called "Shortcutmaker" or similarly named and discovered it's definately what @Jfalls63 had said, so my previous statement is the only way unless you can get the email and pass for the "Owner", in other words... Google sucks.

-Good morning, I have NEWS everyone,
There is an app you can download, on a PC ofcourse, that will bypass this issue, simply called "Developers options" it will be the same as if you could actually access it.

Just put the install.apk on an SD card, install it, and open it.
Cheers.

What do you think about 3-party APK provider?

Well if you are not in favour of IP violation then "modification of APK files" is going to be problematic, as I would guess it's unlikely that many game developers will give their consent to this. And if they don't that's a violation of copyright law, pure and simple.

And that's before we get into the question of "what if the game isn't free?": if your download provider modifies licensing or in-app payment code to deprive the developer of income then that's illegal for certain - there is no controversy there, it's simply a fact.

And yes, modifications don't have to be limited to harmless ones, so there is a malware/privacy risk here. As with anything you install, it's a matter of how much you can trust the source.

Bottom line: the developer holds the copyright. If they agree to an alternative distribution, and to any of the modifications you want, then that's cool. If they don't then it's not.
