Enable SIM card change alert - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I try to enable this feature but it sends a sms to notify SIM card change on each power up of the phone. I have this problem after download latest update from Samsung. Does anyone has this problem?

Try resetting phone (Wipe) and setup new SIM Change alert wizard.

SIM Change Alert
Yes , I have this same problem. Every time i power up , it sends an sms saying the sim card on the phone has been changed. I waste 5 smses every time it does this.
What is the meaning of " Wipe " reset? Is it same as Factory Default reset.?
Would like to have a solution to this problem?
Cheers

Go to setting - Location security - SIM change alert uncheck it (you need to login with samsung ac PW)
Restart
Now again select it N change recipient if req. (setting - location security - alert msg recipient)

Thanks for info.
Going to give it a try.
Thanks Dr.Ketan.
Cheers
Herojam.

Have tried it and your suggestion does not work. Still keeps sending SMSes when you power off/on.
Any way to stop this. Would appreciate any help.
Cheers
Herojam

Disable tbe option for sim Change alert and install Cerberus from the app store. This app does the same and more.

Thanks for suggestion on new app. Looks good but it is a paid app. Might want to buy it after finding out why the stock software keeps sending out SMSes and the explanation why it happens. Otherwise don't know if the stock software is buggy or plain useless.
Cheers.
Herojam
Any explanation from anyone with same problem or no one is using this feature on the phone?

I think samsung dive still recognising your car as foreign.
Once try lock device from samsungdie.com, N unlock with PW
OR
Remove existing reciepient number N disable SIM change option, login with new samsung account
then add recipients number.

My problem goes away after upgrading to ics 4.03.

HELP!!!Toggle Data

yesterday i download an app called toggle data from the market and tried to see if it worked. well it worked turning of data but now my phones data wont turn back on. keeps saying disconnected even when i make a testing shortcut.
and i uninstalled itconfused. can anyone download the app and post it so i can install it bk to my phone to see if i can get it to turn my data back on. if that fails i don't know what to do.HELP!!! plz
Edit: Just read camurphy's post below. He (or she) is the developer of the toggle app and explains how it works in detail.
Hi djlucklu,
I am very sorry about the trouble my application caused you. jashsu is correct. It is similar to APNDroid however it modifies the APN type of each APN on the phone. It sets APN type to a single hyphen and this prevents the phone from connecting to that access point. It stores the original value of APN type into a database when disabling, and when re-enabling it restores these values. This method works perfectly on my development G1 and in the emulator however unfortunately for about 50% of people it seems something is failing.
Go to Settings -> Wireless controls -> Mobile networks -> Access Point Names and edit each access point in the list. Make sure that APN type is not set to a hyphen. If you clear the value (it will be displayed as '<Not set>') the phone should try and connect to that access point.
I hope this works for you and once again I am very sorry about this.
Hey again, I located the bug that prevented the app from working on your phone. Version 1.1 is now published on Android Market and that bug is fixed.
Clearing the value of APN type for all the access points on your phone should let you connect to the Internet again.
Apologies again for the inconvenience.
I have a problem reconnecting, I have to reboot/or toggle airplane mode on-off before I can reconnect.
Im no expert on HSPDA but I have had a simmilar problem with incorrect WAP/HSPDA settings on my old nokia where if I put the settings in wrong I would have to reboot the phone before it would connect (this was using Nokia PC suite on my computer)
I had 2 simcards "Vodaphone" and "Three" Ie if I forgot to change the setting to from "3internet" to "vodanet" I would have to reset the phone.
What about mms?
Hi Cameron
I just downloaded your app and it works fine.
My only issue is that it also disables the mms apn. I'm then even not notified that I received an mms until I reactivate it by putting back manually 'mms' in the APN type of the mms apn.
Would it be possible to avoid disabling APNs that have 'mms' as APN type?
Thank you
The G.
Hi FuentesGG,
I released version 2.0 today that is in the form of a home screen widget. When you add the widget to your home screen it allows you to specify whether you'd like to leave MMS enabled. Hope this helps
i love the app, thx camurphy
Hi Cameron,
I've just installed the update to 2.0 and after installing the widget on my screen when the button is green I'm not able to connect and when it's not green.... I'm not able to connect too!
Could you please provide me a solution as the previous advise from this post doesn't work on my phone (HTC Magic from Proximus in Belgium!)
Thx in advance.
Ok... that's working now!!
I've restored my APN settings! Thanks for the app but... that would be great not to break all connections when update is installed!
Thanks !!!

This is just great!!
The widget works fine and visual feedback on the widget is perfect.
Big thanks ;-)

Hi camurphy. I installed your widget today and as soon as I used it I am unable to send sms. I can receive them but not send them. I've tried factory reset and reflashing. Replacing the mms.apk. everything I could think of. I hope you have a solution. Thanks in advance

Need Help Badly : My Phone is LOCKED

I use pattern to unlock my Galaxy S, but my son played with my phone and accidentally input too many patterns and make my phone only can be unlocked by signing into google account.
I typed my correct gmail user name and password, but still can't sign in and unlock the phone. I am also using APN ON/OFF application, and the APN status is OFF. I am thinking maybe it makes my phone unable to connect to the Internet and sign in to gmail.
Is there anyone know how to solve this problem without resetting the phone into factory default? And if I need to factory reset my phone, how can I do it because the 3 button combination is not working with my Galaxy S?
I'll be grateful if there is someone who can help
Many people have had this issue to some extend, most of them simply reflash the phone since that fixes it.
I remember someone wrote that you somehow could bypass it, sadly cant seem to locate the post anymore.
---edit---
found it.

Try to put your gmail login info from all different gmail account you have.
Also try this. Take out battery>wait for 3 hours > but the battery back > press power button for 20 seconds (This method was listed by one guy on other forum).
One guy also mentioned this method.
AGAIN ITS the lamest thing you could ever think of, anyway heres how it goes,
1) Log in to your google account on your pc, the same account you registered for your phone
2) After logging in look at the top right corner of your inbox/email page, it would say your google username. Like say if you name is John, and you have a google id thats registered to your galaxy s as ,[email protected] Now this google id on the top right corner of the page would be displayed [email protected]
3) Type in the google id, thats visible on the right hand top corner of your page ([email protected]) into your galaxy s handset locked page, and type in the password.
TADA AND YOUR ON TO THE NEW SCREEN TELLING YOU TO PUT IN ANOTHER PATTERN.
Thanks

If you cant login by computer then go here

EDIT: you can also try this (very helpful to lot of ppl with the same problem) http://www.docstoc.com/docs/39761478...d---Locked-Out
Any way try all the methods and let me know if it works...BEST OF LUCK

this solution is with thanks to another person on another site...
You need a WiFi connection available for this to work!
1) Call your phone from a different phone.
2) Answer the call. While still connected...
3) Hit the BACK button on the phone (the arrow softkey)
4)This takes you to the home screen (it might take a few attempts, it depends on your timing. It took me 4 attempts)
5)Drag down your notifications bar and turn the WiFi on if it isn't already.
6)Close the notifications bar then hit the MENU softkey, select Settings then "Accounts and sync".
7)Click "Add Account" and select Google.
8)Sign up for a new google account as normal.
9)When the signup process is complete (and it must successfully create an account) you can hang up the call. (Do not sync the accounts)
10)Now when the phone asks you to unlock it using google credentials, use the ones from the account you just created. It will now ask you for a new security pattern, then for the same pattern again to verify.
11)Once you are back into the phone, turn off this "feature" until Google release a fix for the bug.
12)You can now delete the "false" google account which you just created from the phone. You should log into google and delete it from there too really.
13)Now reboot your phone. When the phone starts up and it still says "Phone Locked" don't panic!, Just drag the screen out of the way to unlock the phone, just like you did before you activated the pattern security.

Just go to Play Store and download App Locker... Then in its locking options lock incoming calls and set a pattern.. This way you will be asked to enter that particular pattern every time you receive a call and you won't be accidentally rejecting calls... Much better than going for a custom ROM... Works with my Zenfone Hit Thanks if I helped you...
Update to LOLLIPOP and update contact app and in its settings disable reject sms and it lock screen call ui show swipe to ans and rej..
No worries

pincode

How to deactivate pincode on lockscreen. I can not choose "no pinkode" The option is blurred and the text says that this option is deactivated by administrator. I can not upload a picture...I dont know how

Try to clear credential... advance setting > security > cleaf credential... i dont what effect if clear that..but it work when i clear that..
Go to Advanced Settings->Security->Device Administrators. Deactivate the correct Device Administrator - note that in doing so, you may end up deactivating your access to a specific account. e.g. For me to access my email, I need to enforce a policy set by one of the admins (this policy forces me to set a password\pincode). if I disable the administrator, I no longer need to set a pincode but I lose access to my email.
I had this when I first got the device, like a week after I got it. The only way I could solve it was a factory reset, the clear credential thing didn't work for me... Hope you guys have more luck than I

T-Mobile DIGITS

Anyone activated DIGITS and tried out the app on S8 yet?
If so, what are your impressions and annoyance?
I signed up for the beta back when it started, just put it on my Verizon iPhone 7 (work) and it works flawlessly.
On the S8 there is no additional app needed, it's all integrated into the stock ROM. The dialer and SMS apps let you choose which line you want to call or text from. It also tells you what device made a call. Works flawlessly.

Yep, i was on unbranded firmware which was missing the Multilines settings, so flashed back to official TMO firmware and now everything is seamless without a hitch. Enjoying DIGITS although I don't have plan to carry 2 numbers.
Where are you guys finding the multilines setting? I have an S8+.

If Digits is enabled for the line, you'll find multiline settings under Cloud and Accounts.

Cloud and Accounts. You can enable it in there and then your Dialer & Texts will display their respective icons & number. S8+ as well

Thanks for those instructions. Unfortunately, I don't have that as an option. Perhaps I should call it a day (waiting and hoping for a root solution) and update this puppy.

My apologies. I should have included the fact that there is a known issue with the location of those settings on the S8/S8+. Another manager in my district activated Digits, rebooted his S8+ and the Multi Line settings disappeared. I along with him & others have reported it to the Digits team and apparently there is an OTA update coming to address it. In the mean time they've suggested using the Digits app for those having issues.
I'm on the AQC9 with all updates blocked and it's working flawlessly so I'm not sure where the issue resides

I have the s8 and the gear s3 and digits works fine without a problem didn't have to set up anything on the phone. I have 2 lines one for me and one for the wife.
I just wish I could put my S3 line into digits.
Ok I work for T-Mobile and I know how to make the digits multi line setting appear. It's a process though so get ready.
First you have to log in to the T-Mobile app. So if yoiu don't have it or deleted it download it again from Play Store. Log in and hit the menu button > usage and plans. You should see a button that says to unlock digits. Click it.
A message will then appear telling you multi line has been added. But you need to restart your phone for it to show up. It will be in clouds and account in settings.
I can't upload any screenshots as mines is activated already and the button goes away. But after thatnjust sign in to your t-mobile account.
Now FYI!!!!
You need to have someone registered as the PRIMARY ACCOUNT HOLDER ON MY.T-MOBILE.COM BECAUSE WHEN YOU ACTIVATE YOUR DIGITS NUMBER AND PUT IT IN. IT SENDS A REQYEST TO THE PRIMARY ACCOUNT HOLDER TO ALLOW THE NUMBER TO BE USED ON THAT DEVICE! IF NOT YOU WILL GET STUVK WITH A "WAITING FOR APPROVAL " MESSAGE FOREVER AND HAVE TO LOG OUT AND STSRT THIS WHOLE PROCESS OVER. ADDED A PAH AFTER WON'T SEND AN APPROVAL TEXT.

Any idea if they're going to raise the data speed from 512kbps for duplicate sims?
Is it possible to enable the multi line settings for a Verizon S8 running the T-Mobile firmware? My is TMB/TMB/VZW, hoping there's a way to force enable it...

I know, two months late here, but I'm wondering if you ever got that figured out. I've done the same with an AT&T phone (TMB/TMB/ATT) and can't get the multi-line to enable. Using Shortcut Master I can get the Multi-line config to launch, but trying to sign-in to my account just gets me a screen that says "Updating Multi-line settings... Please try again later."

Hey, yeah I did manage to get it to work. Had the same issue, using Nova I could get to the multiline settings but no options actually worked. I ended up swapping my sim into an actual T-Mobile phone that has digits integration (S7 edge), then unlocking it on their website for Digits to work, and then swapped it back, and I got the little popup saying that multiline was enabled. Seems like the sim has to be provisioned.
I like the Digits Apps for Windows and MacOS. Its like having iMessage. The only issue I've had is that text sent from the PC don't show up on my phone. Still nice though I can send and receive text on the PC. I can also make and take phone calls.
