Locked out of phone due to 3 sim card pin mistakes

John Tate
Well, I have a pretty simple issue here where after the reboot for the update to the latest version of Android 13, on my Pixel 6 phone I made three mistakes and am locked out of the sim card.

I have to wait until business hours until support with my provider can get me my PUK code to fix this, but for now I can't use my phone at all.

I think there is a way to skip this screen or something which might be a gesture or something on it. I basically just want to use the phone on wifi. Strangely, I can't even seem to power it down by holding the button.

I normally use this phone with the oldschool three buttons enabled on the bottom because I never wanted to learn about gestures and my phone doesn't show them on this screen.

I had trouble with several different google searches because not many people lock the sim card with their own pin, and few of those make three mistakes like this in a row.

Drive(n)

R
At least some people on here ought to know what I think of googoo. However, there's a pretty big file that I probably won't be able to get without using their drive. Well, I checked to see how it works and I got a message in some language I don't know, Dutch maybe. I'm pretty sure it's asking for email address, and that rectangle at the end most likely leads to the next page. What gives? Why is it not in English, or am I just being a jerk? Is this trustworthy?

"Phone cannot be helped not underneath warranty."

Okay on my moto app I sometimes do a system check up via moto app, and to call in and get help on it, it reads "Sorry phone cannot be helped not under warranty." Though it is funny though, since I have some insurance on it until the next time, methinks way into the future, about a spell or two from now.. So even though I did bought it, somehow it did pop up this message but only on the Moto app.

Oneplus 8T - Swapping components between KB2007 & KB2000

S
Hi,

Mistakenly I ordered this OnePlus 8T (KB2007) through eBay which is locked to T mobile US. In my country T-Mobile network is not available. Now I got a lead to this OnePlus 8T (KB2000 global version) with a display issue (other than the display issue all other functions are working well in that phone). And I can get it for a very fair deal.

What I am thinking is to get this phone (KB2000) and swap its inside parts with my OnePlus 8T (KB2007). So I just need the 'display and the housing' of the KB2007 to be compatible with the other components of KB2000 (both phones exactly same 12 Gb RAM, 256 Storage 5G version)

I just want to know whether this is technically feasible?

Because I still need to pay and buy that KB2000 from this local seller. If the components are not compatible and can not be swapped with my phone the money spent will be a waste. So before buying I need to make sure whether it is compatible.

All your support is warmly welcome !

Mi Band 7 has problems pairing to One Plus 6T

A
hi everyone

Newbie here so not a problem to post but a solution to a problem others may be having

I have just sorted out a problem where a friend with a Mi Band 7 couldn't get to pair with his One Plus T6

This fitness band paired with my phone (Nokia C21) OK but not his

Without going into the long and the short of it except to say that when you tried to pair with the app (Mi fitness) it just stayed on "searching" when you tried to get it to find the band.

So, the fix seemed to be..........

When it is stuck on searching just leave it there and do a factory reset on the band, as it restarts it will now be detected. That's it.

Help Help installing apps

P
Got cheap so no big deal.

All I wanted to do is use as a monitor for security camera.

Cannot seem to install anything from PlayStore. As soon as I click INSTALL I get an error that says NO CONNECTION even though I am well connected to my WiFi/Internet.

No problem going to web sites so the connection is fine.

Is there a custom ROM that might work on this?

Any ideas? ( perhaps via APK? )

Side-loading on an LG phone?

Alex Ethridge
I have a tech-challenged friend who owns a very recent LG phone. The exact model I do not know at present. I know he got it from a Verizon store less than a year ago. I have tried several times to get an account set up for him with Google Play without any success. So here's my question:

I have the APK file I want to load and tried to side load on the phone yesterday by connecting the phone to his desktop computer via a USB cable but had no success. So how can I get this APK onto his phone and run the installation?

Charger issues

David88
My son stuck an earring in my charger port and shorted the phone. The charger port sparked and turned the phone off completely.

It has been suggested a resistor on the charging port has blown and needs changing. Is that the case?

Since he phone has turned off completely and won't turn back on does that suggest worse damage?

I can buy a complete charging port board for £8 and change it myself if that is all required.

Thanks.

Edit: This is the board that can be replaced.

Dictionary?

S
I found the personal dictionary in the settings on my Samsung Galaxy S10e phone but I can't find it on the Samsung Tab S6 Lite. Does such a thing exist? I just want to add words that I use regularly that the email doesn't recognize, which is very annoying.
Appreciate any advice.

How do I determine source of notification?

RhinoCan
I'm trying to help my brother with a problem he's having with his Moto G Power phone running Android 11.

This morning, his phone started ringing roughly every 2 minutes but neither of us could figure out WHY. He couldn't think of anything he'd done to create a notification and I couldn't see anything useful on the screen indicating why it was ringing when it did ring. I poked around and found only a single alarm in the Clock app but that was supposed to ring on weekends only and it's Thursday so I was pretty sure that wasn't it. I deleted the alarm anyway but the ringing continued, which confirmed the alarm wasn't the issue.

I had received an Amber Alert yesterday afternoon and asked if the ringing had started then but he said it had started this morning.

I went into settings and looked under notifications and saw that he'd received an Amber Alert three hours ago but I couldn't see any way to verify that it was the reason he was still getting the frequent ringing. I asked if he'd clicked OK to acknowledge the message and he said he'd tried.

Finally, as I was typing this message, it rang yet again and this time, when I looked on the screen, it was an Amber Alert - the same one I'd seen yesterday! - and after I clicked OK, the ringing stopped.

Even if this mystery/annoyance is now behind us, I still need to ask: if a phone is ringing/notifying unexpectedly, is there a reliable way to determine WHY it is ringing/notifying, i.e. what app or condition is causing it? The first many times I looked at the screen when it rang, there was NOTHING to indicate why. This was exasperating. I'd like to think Android gives you some reasonable way to determine why a given noise is being emitted by one of their phones.
