Hello,
at Android 2.1 there was a bug, when you forgot your pattern. After about 25 or 30 wrong attempts the phone is locked.
look at this (for example): (sorry i can't send the url as a link - so you have to put www previous)
"google.fm/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=75bd4eab2c01c0f2&hl=en"
You have to reset (wipe) yout phone. When the Galaxy S is locked after the 25 or 30 wrong attempts, the data connection was disconnected. That's why your google account was never accepted. There were some solutions in the past like in this thread ("call your own phone and go to the menu..."): (sorry, i can't send the url as a link - without www)

At Froyo (Android 2.2) it doesn't work anymore!
So i want to know, if the bug is still there at Froyo or not? Do I have to reset my phone, if when it is locked after 30 wrong attempts?
(sorry for my bad english - i'm german)

My phone will no longer restore to factory stock ROM even though I have done back ups.
This appears to have caused the phone to "lock"back to the original network and is why I am getting the error when trying to connect to the new mobile network.
How can I unlock it with ICS by Cyanogen?
Hello
I have been having problems with a messaging app that checks the UDID at startup, and the developer told me that the UDID of my device is sometimes changing and causing the problems.
My P990 is rooted, but just running stock LG Gingerbread: 2.3.4.
Baseband: 1035.21_20110622
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
I have not reinstalled Android, nor done a factory reset for many months, and I have not changed the Sim card or my service provider (Vodafone).
Rom Manager, Titanium and Busy Box are loaded, but I haven't used them for a long time.
I do frequently switch between 3G and wifi... and I often turn the Android data setting off.
Sometimes the data seems to die and I am forced to restart the device.
Could a bad data connection make the P990 change its UDID?
If not, any ideas what could be causing my device to spontaneously change its UDID?
Thank you for any assistance.
Hi all,
After having flashed an unlocked stock rom 2.3.6 (S5570XWKTZ_S5570XWKT9_S5570OXFKT5_RST_HOME.tar.md5), I managed to sucessfully unlock a galaxy mini S5570 using THIS tutorial.
With stock, I couldn´t connect my google account, it kekt saying wrong password, even though i know for sure its correct. No google play, no calendar, no google apps since they all require a connected account.
After that i tried Void Rom Ultimate Edition, and i´m pretty happy with it, but hte problem remains, I can´t connect my google account. I can create a new one, but can´t connect mine afterwards.
I have wifi and data working, internet is fine, APN settings seem to be working, so i´m at a blank.
I´m from Portugal, could this have something to do with with the stock rom, wich was from norway if im not mistaken? I couldn´t find a Portuguese one... I had hoped flashing CWM and a CM 7.2 would do the trick but it didn´t help...
Am i missing some sort of Gapps package?
Any help will be aprecciated.
Hi xda, I don't even know if this is the correct section.
I'm experiencing a problem with my Mi 8 in these days I've never had, my phone sometimes disconnects from WiFi and then he has difficulty reconnecting. The WiFi signal keeps staying on "obtaining IP address" and repeats again, so I have to switch to mobile data until my WiFi comes back. I'm on MIUI Global 11.0.3 Stable (QEAMIXM).
I tried to:
- restart the phone;
- reset the network settings;
- restarting the router-modem;
But the problem still remains.
I read that it may be that the modem router does not support the dynamic IP or MAC address of the new version of Android, but I'm not an expert.
If someone is facing the same problem or knows how to solve it I really appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance
I've been having the same problem.
Randomly disconnecting from Wifi and my network service.
Since the auto-update push to the latest version the problem has gotten worse. It occurs even more frequently and often doesn't connect to any network services.
I've tried removing the Sim cards, changing slots, only having in one at a time.

If you have always been on stock
Change the setting so that the phone uses its actual Mac address and not randomized
If you have used many different roms,
You may need to flash the fastboot version of the latest stable rom ( for your device : Global or Chinese) it restore your persist partition, and all other partitions.
resetting will not fix this issue and neither will flashing a recovery rom. it has to be a fastboot rom.
Do not flash it unless your device is linked to your own personal Mi Cloud account, and the built in flashall batch command completely wipe your device. be sure to un select relock bootloader if using Mi-Flash.
Never flash any persist images that you may find on XDA threads.
Some of those posts include links to personal recovery persist backups . Those backed up images are hardware linked to individual devices, and flashing one of those files will cause permanent issues..

I have always been with the Global stable rom. Where do I change the MAC address?

I am not currently using a Miui rom, because I wanted to test that my battery is truly going bad ( It is) So I will have to give you the approximate location. If I am remembering correctly it's in network settings > advanced options > privacy
If you dont see it, download the app called Hidden Settings for MIUI and you should be able to change it to use the actual Mac address.

Please look at this community where I have been posting doing some debugs on what were happening with Xiaomi Mi8 with Android 10.
https://community.cisco.com/t5/wire...onnecting-android-10-to-cisco-me/td-p/4009289
It looks like Xiaomi has deprecated WPA2 in some cases, but not in others. In my case, using Cisco APs I cannot connect until I configure native WPA3 (not even transition mode).
Same seems to happen to Nokia devices.
Weird behavior when you see you can connect to other APs using WPA2, but after doing some debugs with ADB I realized the phone wasn't sending association to AP, so it is not AP vendor fault.
And the thing I hate the most, is trying to open a TAC case with Xiaomi. They do not attend any expert issue but only low-level issues the type of factory-reset your phone and try again. I starting to hate this kind of support. They don't care about their products nor the users.

It's not only about Xiaomi, but all the other brands. It's always impossible to reach to a person with technical knowledge, no matter what device or what tech support you contact with.
I actually don't expect any bug fixes from Xiaomi, since they didn't even care about Widevine L1 certificate while Pocophone F1 users received it.
