Question

How do I unlock a Samsung S5 cellphone?

Community Answer

If it has a password that you don't know, it is impossible to unlock the phone. You will need to manually reset the phone so that you can use it. You can do the manual reset at any phone shop.

Question

Is it possible to use both AT&T and another service if I am traveling to a country in which I can't use AT&T?

Community Answer

You can if you have an unlocked phone. If your phone is locked by AT&T, you cannot use any simcard except an AT&T simcard. An unlocked phone can use any sim.

Question

How can I unlock my Verizon Samsung model SM-B311V?

Community Answer

Call your carrier and have them tell you how to unlock it. Usually they have to have you go through the developer settings. (Don't forget to have a good reason for unlocking the phone. i.e. you have paid for the phone and are leaving the carrier. Do not tell them that you want to sell it, they will not help you if you do.)

My Verizon LG smartphone is frozen, and is only displaying an old photo. How do I fix it?

Community Answer

It's hard to tell what the cause of the problem is based solely on this information. You should bring it to a repair store and let a professional handle the issue.

Question

How do I unlock my Samsung A20?

Community Answer

Stick a sharp blunt but tiny metal woodnail into charging port. The inside of the port needs to be frictioned and "popped" inside. You'll hear it(usually after 5 pounds of force) dislodge the data, charging, and transfer component. Next, the network carriers code from being required on screen needs to be disabled. Open your device unlock thru the carrier. Then a drop of nail polish remover inside the charging port. The acetone will be able to signal a hardware fluidity deterrence eliciting a software override in many apps on your phone. A pattern will start with 1's and 0's. If you don't see the operation working, add more acetone. The phone will then be operating by electrolysis override.

Question

How do I unlock a Samsung Galaxy S4 without losing any data?

Community Answer

The key thing to do is print all your pictures off at Walgreens through the app. Get a voice recorder with noise cancelling microphone and record all your music. Then get a pen and write down all of your contacts and other info. The easiest way to doing it is not the smartest. This concrete approach is more tangible and will never be lost in the cloud.
