Unlock Pattern

Hello,
Basically, I set an unlock pattern on my SGS i9000 - and I've forgotten the combination. It's not the swipe lock screen it's the standard keyboard one.
I've heard that it's possible to reset it to your gmail account, but I can see no option to input your email or reset it? any ideas
thanks
if you try it more than 5 times it should come up with a "forgot pattern?" prompt at the bottom right next to emergency call
'You have incorrectly entered the unlock pattern 55 times' I've worked it right up to that, and I still see no forgot pattern box?
Something is wrong with your phone. I just tried it and after 5th failed attempt a popup appears saying to try again in 30 seconds and a timer appears top left of the pattern. Bottom right is the forgot pattern link.
See if you can boot into recovery and clear cache, not sure if this will help but it's what I would do. Maybe a reboot will straighten things out.

[Q] cm7 ui paint problem (problem name to google?)

Hi,
I've recently installed cm 7.0.3 (after wiping all) on my Nexus One.
I've been having a problem which I'm sure I'm not the first one to experience and I've tried googling many terms that loosely describe the problem but I'm getting no results.
I want to try explaining my problem and maybe someone can point out the name for this problem so I could find a solution (or someone could offer a solution themselves?)
So what I'm seeing is that sometimes the UI doesn't update but the logic behind it occurs.
This doesn't happen all the time, just occasionally, and rebooting fixes the issue.
For example:
1. I open "settings" and the menu is supposed to scroll, When I try scrolling the screen just remains static, I see the menu as it opens but there's no scroll, HOWEVER when I click something on the screen, its as if the screen had scrolled and the option I click is the one that would have been under my finder had the screen scrolled. (like I scroll down, nothing happens, I click the bottom of the screen and "about phone" is opened.
2. I click something that opens a dialog, when a dialog opens, the screen behind the dialog usually goes dark. So instead the dialog showing, the screen goes dark, click "back" makes the screen light again (as if I closed the dialog), clicking anywhere on there the dialog is supposed to be while the screen is dark performs the action the dialog allowed.
I hope I made myself clear here...
Thanks.
I am pretty sure this is related to a low pmem issue that exists in stock Android. There is a bandaid fix for it on the tracker, and temasek made a flashable zip for it on the CM forums.
However, I believe this bug has been fixed in the nightlies. I don't know if it is a Android 2.3.4 fix, or something the CM dev team fixed, but I haven't had the bug since we switched to 2.3.4.
Thanks, I guess I'll just have to wait for a stable cm7..
The bandaid fix is just a simple flashable zip that you flash in recovery. While it doesn't fix the root of the problem, it did take away the symptom, so there were no more viewable issues with the screen. So I would go ahead and flash it. This is the file you want to flash (taken from the post I linked above).

I used it and it before the nightlies moved to 2.3.4 and it worked great. I never had any more issues with the screen (when went to a solid black, but on the bug report there were many different ways that this bug manifested).

Galaxy Camera EK-GC200 losing wallpaper

Since having the camera, the wallpaper I choose never stays for long and the camera reverts back to a gradient blue on home screen and lock screen. Every morning when I check it, see it has gone back to the default blue.
The issue occurs whether I use the other available internally stored OEM wallpapers or alternate.
Any ideas?
Same thing happens to me, but my Google account also disappears. Sometimes it happens at the same time, and sometimes it's just the wallpaper. The interestng part is that when I used a completely custom wallpaper it never happened -- only when I used one of the stock wallpaper choices.

Magazine unlock not working

Hi. My Magazine Unlock is not working properly. I set it in Themes and it shows as marked in Settings-Screen lock & passwords-Screen lock style so should be working fine. Despite that it doesn't show any photos on lock screen and there are no controls when I swipe from the bottom of lock screen (I mean play, next and so on).
I tried to put some photos manually into MagazineUnlock folder on internal memory but they don't appear on lock screen. Anyone knows how to make it work again and update the photos?
I've recently updated to EVA-L09C432B170 via dload method. May that be the cause?
Same issue here.
After flashing via dload method (and even back to the old firmware) I lost magazine unlock.
Have also tried downloading the stock themes and selecting them, but even though it says selected under Settings, lock screen remains the same static wallpaper image with no controls after swiping.
EDIT: turns out only the 'Black Label' theme enabled MagazineUnlock for me. I previously had Default(MagazineUnlock) but it didn't work, despite the name. Also needs to be under System/Theme, not just under SDCard/HWTheme
Someone knows an answer to this? I have the same problem currently and have no idea how to restore the functionality of the magazine unlock. Themes are shown in the theme manager and some even with the addition of "(Magazin unlock)", but it is not working even if selected.
mine wasnt working until i pressed this button ( the highlighted one in the pic) after that it started working again

hi. i had the same problem, had to change the theme to obsidian, then magazine unlock started working again.
What worked for me guys, is this...
When you activate your screen and keep seeing the same wallpaper (not magazine), simply DELETE the annoying wallpaper that won't change. Also make sure there is no "Lock" on the padlock on bottom left corner.
Hope this makes sense and helps someone from going crazy trying to figure it out

Question Something weird happening on vivid mode

Received my S21U yesterday and noticed a weird thing happens when vivid mode is on.
Basically, the colours change when apps take up the whole screen. It's mostly a slight change but it's really visible on skin tones. On my device when things are full screen, people's faces look pale, yellow and washed out. This disappears immediately if I put the app into pop-up view, splitscreen, or if I open another pop up app over the top. It also disappears if I swipe up to go to recent apps and the current app minimizes. It's annoying because the skin tones look normal and healthy when not full screen. Then as soon I full screen whatever I'm looking at the colours change straight away before my eyes and I see the washed out yellow skin tones appear. This doesn't happen on natural mode or when eye comfort is on, it only happens with vivid.
The same issue happened on my Note 20 Ultra, but the yellowed/washed out colours were SO much worse that I ended up returning it. Oddly enough it doesn't happen on my Tab S7+.
If you have a spare minute and you'd like to see if this happens on your device, open this random image of the legend William Hung full screen with vivid mode on. Then try swiping up to see recent apps and then tapping the app to full screen the image again. If the same thing happens on your device you should notice the skin tones change. He should look normal when the window isn't full but on full screen he looks really yellow and ill. The same should happen if you open it in split screen or popup view or open another app in pop up view over the top.
Anyone else noticed this or know why it happens? It actually kind of annoys me as the skin tones look ugly and at this price point I expect everything to be perfect.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Just checked, and I'm unable to duplicate that problem with the picture you shared. No change it skin tone at all.
NVM, I see what you mean. I see a darker shade in the recent apps menu when I swipe up, and then when I go back to the original image, it gets lighter. NOt a big deal to me. Why does it bother you?
