Why when you boot your phone you always have this "enter pin" screen? How can I get rid of this? I've unlocked my phone quite some time ago....This might be a dumb question but i've searched by "enter pin" or "phone pin" or "pin" and I cannot find an answer.
You have a PIN on your SIM card. Go into the Settings->Phone->PIN/PIN2 screen and uncheck the box. You will need to put in your PIN to remove it from the SIM card.
Yup, Genesis3 is right,
You might have set a PIN on your sim card.

On my old Wizard, when I put in a pin to unlock the phone, it would unlock when I put in my pin, it would unlock when I hit the last correct digit in the pin. Now, with the Kaiser, I have to type in the pin and manually hit unlock, which is a big pain.
Is there a way to change this? I've searched for unlock and all I get are threads about CID unlocking.
Hi!
I have a weird problem.
I have tried to remove the pin code on my device but i always get wrong pass/code.
I can change the pin OK, but cant remove it.
Even tried entering it three times to get to the PUK code, entered that one and changed pin. But still cant remove it.
So annoying to enter the code every time the device boots.
tried to uncheck "require pin when phone is used"
in settings phone ?
Yeah, thats when i get "Warning : Invalid old password. Please try again."
Same problem here. I'm unable to remove the pin code.
I unchek "require pin..." type my pin to validate and always get wrong pass/code.
Can anybody help me?
I didn't see a focus flash forum and it is very similar to the focus s internally so wanted to try posting here. I just got a focus flash from ebay as well as an unlock code and put my t-mobile sim in the phone. However, when I enter the code and tap enter, it says "sim error". I can cancel the unlock prompt and go to the metro ui, and there's a little sim icon with a lock on it. If I take out the sim card and restart, instead of the unlock prompt, I get a little box that says "sim error" and a message about missing or invalid sim. The little sim icon at the top has a little (/) instead of a lock. What could be the problem? It also says no network found in the cellular section of the settings.
same issue
i am having the exactly same issue with my focus flash, can any one help ?? and if the op user found out the solution please share
How many times have you tried to enter the unlock code? Id used to be (and probably still true) that trying more then five times will lock your phone permanently. You should get back to the person who provided the code and inform them of the issue. Double check your IMEI number when you contact them. One wrong digit in IMEI will generate a wrong code.
Just bought a AT&T LTE 8.9", locked on AT& Network

I think you have to put in a SIM it is locked against first.

1st of all thank you for replaying in my thread .
with regarding of the SIM card i have done that i treed using our network SIM card (Mobaily) and nothing happen .
I treed this :
A)-
Turn your phone with a non accepted simcard, and then turn off the wifi.
Now go the dial screen and then type *2767*3855# on phone keypad. (CAUTION! This will reformat all your data!)
1. After phone restarts, type the Unfreeze code ( ) when prompted to enter "SIM network unlock PIN" or "Enter Network Lock Control Key" screen and hit unlock button.
It will say "unsuccessful" again, don't worry!
2.. Type the Unlock code ( ) and hit Unlock button.
3. Your phone should now give you the message "Network Lock Successful"
Now your phone is successfully unlocked!
If there is still an error please press *#06# and check the IMEI number
B)-
Go to the dial screen on your phone as if you are going to make a call and press: #7465625*638*UNLOCKCODE# (8 digit unlock code)
Q: is it poseble to get dial screen on this tab ?
thanks .
With my 8.9 LTE, I power up with a sim card, and it asks me for the network lock right away. Is that the same as the sim lock? I've never unlocked a tablet before, but I'm assuming it is. Tablets surely can't have the multiple lock menus a cellphone has. Network/Sim/SPCK etc.
To trigger the unlock menu, you need to insert a NON-compatible sim card. So if your tablet is a MOBAILY one, inserting a sim of that company won't help you.
Put in ANY other sim to get the menu to pop up.
Good Luck!
btw, those instructions are for a phone., hence the dialer. I'm willing to bet it 99.9999%. AFAIK, there's no way to get a phone dialer menu on a tablet lol. (watch me be proven wrong ha):laugh:
Hello,
I bought a new sim card with a new plan. it came with enabled 0000 pin code.
The problem is my P10 is not showing the message at start-up asking me for the pin code.. and i couldn't get network. I'm stuck at ''emergency calls only''.
Anyone has an idea about this problem ?
PS: i don't have any other devises on which i can delete the pin code.

I tried and it does not work.. it's like the device is not reading the SIM at all. when i try to set a sim lock (i know from my operator that it's already locked on 0000) it just said wrong code, remaining attempts: 3.

(If you have Dual SIM model) have you tried in both slots
Also, are you sure that the phone is unlocked for that operator
I doubt, if you would even remove lock for that SIM on another phone, that P10 would still show Emergency calls only

Yes, it's a dual sim model, i did try in both slots.. same result for the new sim with the preset PIN.. but i can set a code for the second sim (does not have a pin code).
The phone is unlocked for all operators.. it's just that it does not ask for pin code at start-up.. and acts like it didn't read pin locked sim cards at all.. it's not the first time i find myself searching for another device to delete the pin code.
