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.

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

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.

Getting unknown unwanted notification

Hi,
Got my LG Watch R yesterday and still sorta getting to know it, but last night around 2am, I got a notification saying "16mins to Work", despite not working and being a student and directing me to a place I've never been before.
I don't even know when or how I set this notification (if I did) or how google thought I would want to go there.
I think it may be a notification from google maps, as there is an option to navigate when you swipe to left a few times which opens google maps on your phone.
Any help would be massive appreciated.

Hi,
It's an information coming from Google Now and I never found a solution to stop it. In Google Now you can settle your Home and Work location and it works with these. Unfortunately, even if you don't give a Work location, it sometimes comes up with an info anyway... :silly:

Thanks man, seems you're right. Opened the google app and I can see it there. This is very annoying, what if you don't go somewhere everyday or you're off from work? It seems theres no way to even mess with the notification settings.

P20 Pro Google feed not showing any cards

Hi,
I have been playing around with my new P20 Pro and setting it up to match with what I was used to on my Nexus 6P.
Coming from pure Nexus experience, I really liked the personalised cards you would see on your Google feed (when you swipe right on the home screen)
With EMUI default launcher, it has the option to show Google feeds, but nothing is showing up on the Google Assistant/Now screen when I swipe right on the home screen. It only shows the Google search bar at the top.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue or have figured out how to get it working? I have looked at a few things online and nothing there is helpful.

I had that issue but after I had finished setting everything up it was working fine. Sadly I can't remember exactly what I did to fix it. Try going through all the Google stuff. Hold the home button and set up Google Assistant. Go into the Google settings and have a play in there
You should have an options menu when you swipe right on the home screen. Be sure to enable feed and any other relevant options. Hopefully you figure it out.

Hi Highspeed123,
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried all of those things, set up Assistant, enabled feed in Google Settings and in EMUI Launcher's setting. Played around with various properties in Google Settings too, to no avail.
Hopefully, someone else would have figured out how to get it working.
Thanks

So, after trying various things and trying to search online, I had a stroke of luck. Here are the steps that helped me get the Google feed and the cards working on the right swipe of home screen.
1. Open Play Store
2. Select Google App
3. Uninstall (this will uninstall any updates that were applied)
4. Check you Google feed from the home screen (it should now be working but showing you content in some different format)
5. Come back to Play Store
6. Update the Google App
7. Return to home screen to check your Google feed and the cards now appear in the format you are used to
8. Phew...
It was tricky to figure this all out and had little help out there on the internet.
So, I hope this helps anyone else out there struggling with the setup to enjoy their shinny new P20 Pro
Cheers

My feed stops working after updating Google app.

Now feed not working for me either - it does if I uninstall updates, but as soon as it updates it stops.

Yes, I noticed that on Thursday when the Google app updates were pushed out. I have skipped the update for now.
This updates are so temperamental on non stock Android!!

Mine is sluggish to get going. I often need to do a Google search and swipe backwards and forward a couple of times and then it will populate.

Been working fine all day, then all of a sudden stopped working again!

Same issue.

Worked for me - thx!

Has anyone found any other solutions than this? I've tried this as well as clearing all Google data, to no avail. Is there any other suggestions?

I use Lawnchair Launcher and Lawnfeed for this.

Not sure if you have already tried it, but another workaround is to simply search for something in the search bar at the top and after closing the search results, the feeds starts appearing!
Not necessarily reliable the whole Google feeds and Maps app on a non stock Android phone, but we all wanted a super camera

Google seems to have updated. i now get a feed and navigation items at the bottom. It looks different with a smaller search field. Seems ok but I can't swipe stuff i'm not interested in away any more.

I've had the same problem, got my on the first day of release. It's taken till today to finally work! Hopefully yours starts working soon too!

Help!!!! Huawei login id/huawei wallet

So i decided to try and see what is Huawei wallet, wasn't sue how it'll work as i don't have NFC on my version. Once i installed it, it keeps on coming up every time i unlock the device. So i cleared all data and took away all permissions from the app, plus i signed out of my Huawei id. But now every time i unlock the device i get a login to Huawei id. when i use task manager it isn't showing up there, and when i go to the app the only option i have is force stop. But i go back out unlock the device and the same blue screen with login id comes up. It's annoying the heck out of me! how do i stop this from coming up? Is there any way to disable/uninstall this app?! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Wow, I thought it was bad enough having to ignore the "login to huawei" message I see at the top of the settings page, and which i'm never going to use.

So, no one?

Right?!

I've the same issue for a few weeks now. It really is massive pain! And I can't believe this UX fail is so significant. Does anyone have ANY solutions?

a funny workaround is actually to enable the "Digital Balance" and allow the Wallet 0 screentime.

In the Wallet app, go to settings -> about -> slider to stop the app.

If you do not like the UI change it or get rid of the mobile. For you it is horrible but for most of users not. It is a matter of taste.
Good luck with it.

Thx, very helpful

use a third party launcher to get rid of google page (lawnchair launcher 2,nova launcher)
and make sure you haven't locked homescreen when adding contact shortcut

I accidentally found a way to remove the Google feed.
I tried installing 'Breeno feed' from APK mirror. The phone required rebooting before it appeared on the left of my homescreen.
Most of the features didn't work properly, probably due to my phone being from the UK. So I uninstalled it (on app menu shows as 'Quick Glance').
After uninstalling it, Google feed no longer appears on my home screen, in fact I can't swipe left at all now
It stayed gone after a reboot and hopefully won't cause any issues.
Just thought I'd share this info and hope it can help someone.

After another reboot today Google feed reappeared..
So I just quickly repeated the steps and it's gone again. I guess it doesn't remain after a reboot.

Hi I've upgraded to this phone today from my find X2 pro and I saw this thread so I extracted the Smart Assistant apk from the find x2 installed it on the find x3 and it works fine but you only get weather, calendar and step counter features with my apk I've attached below if any of you want it.
Edit: there's a bug with weather not updating but otherwise it's better than having google on it I guess
Install apk and reboot.

Yh it doesn't update for me either I'll have to let people know that

There is another solution for disabling it completely which was shared by wedaxi on reddit:
Hello, maybe it's late to leave an answer but this is how I removed the google feed completely from the home screen.
You need to enable developer tools on your phone: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options
Download Android Studio on your computer (this is the easiest way to install adb wich you will need, but you can search how to install adb independently)
Connect your phone to the computer with usb cable (you can also connect the phone wirelessly but the cable is the easiest method https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb)
Once you are connected use this command from the computer console to disable google feed app
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
This only disables the app, it does not uninstall it, to do that you probably need to root the phone and I just don't recommend it.
I'm sorry if this method is not the easiest, this is what I did after not finding any other solution and It works.
However the Goolge-App and Lens won't work afterwards!

Hey there,
I found a way to "disable" the Google feed without installing another launcher.
If you hide the Google App in the Privacy Settings, when you swipe left, nothing happens. The icon at the bottom which indicates how many pages there are is still visible but honestly it doesn't bother me much.
Hopefully, Oppo will add the option to hide the Google Feed page.
Cheers
