Tried to activate fingerprint swipe on my samsung galaxy s5 and locked myself out. Help!

Can someone tell me how to get back into my phone after I apparently locked myself out?

Did you set an alternate password? If you didn't, or if you can't remember it, did you activate Android Device Manager on your phone and associate it with your Google account? If so, then you may be able to use Android Device Manager to unlock your phone. Otherwise, you'll have to do a factory data reset (and all your data will be lost unless you've backed it up somewhere).

My Samsung Galaxy s5 is set for fingerprint I'd to unlock. I don't remember my password and it won't display the fingerprint swipe to unlock. Only shows alternative password screen. How do I get it back to fingerprint.

TThe question is in the title

See if this helps:

Anyone having problems with the Samsung Galaxy Stellar touch screen after a screen lock?

My Samsung Galaxy Stellar won't respond from the lock screen, about once a week.
What touch screen issues are others having?
As a workaround, I have to remove the back cover and battery, replace, and turn the phone on.

So far I have had 3 of these phones in as many months. After about 3 weeks, the phone will suddenly lock up on me, and will either go into a boot loop, or just become unresponsive. Couldn't even do a factory reset on the first one. In both cases, I can see activity on the wifi indicator, so it's not like the phone is completely frozen, but you can't do anything with it since the screen is. I really like this phone, but if this third one does the same thing, I'm going to throw it out the window, and cancel my 7 year old account!

Please help ... have new samsung ativ se windows 8 phone ... screen lock is on to require password, but on incoming calls its not locked ... how do i lock it for incoming calls too ???? thanks

Personal rant, why do people write the entire problem in topic line
It's not possible with Windows Phone 8. What's the point, a call is coming in and the phone allows you to answer.

Cannot disable screen lock on my galaxy 4

When my Galaxy 4 was purchased I could disable the screen lock feature by selecting "None" from the various screen lock choices. Now, the "None" choice is not shown. Is there another way to disable screen lock?

THat is rather strange the option for none is no longer in there. Have you recently downloaded any new software or applications? In case you need it, here are the instructions for disabling the lock screen http://spr.ly/6-17NzGL Lets restart your phone and give this a try. Let me know what happens.

Screen lock up yet on their Galaxy S III?

Anyone had their screen lock up on their Galaxy S III? Just bought it 7-12-12! The whole phone's frozen.

Hi, Shelly55-
I'm so sorry that your new device is causing this frustration for you! What screen is it frozen on? Were you able to reboot or remove the battery from the phone in order to resolve? If not, an alternative reset (http://bit.ly/O4Wp05) may be necessary. Keep me posted if you need further assistance.
Thanks,

My phone has been locked by your company.. Samsung Galaxy A5.i am in Pakistan.

. Samsung Galaxy A5..i purchased it from uk..i am in Pakistan now...my Sim is working...just i can receive the call...but can operate my phone....Already try SIM PIN and PUK code but EE had blocked it...i just started using it from a month ago.

Whose SIM do you have in it now?
If it was on your own contract you can just apply for unlocking from your online a/c, otherwise ...
The only way to unlock an EE device while abroad is to get an EE PAYG SIM for it off somewhere like eBay, register an online account for it in your own name with EE and top it up with at least £9 to cover the unlocking fee and apply to EE to unlock it by filling in the Unlocking your device form as the PAYG option.
But before you do make sure you have some way with loading the SIM with GBP, for which you will certainly need a UK bank or credit card. It is not free to unlock a device with EE.

How to fix camera bug on Samsung Galaxy S5?

Camera stops working on Samsung Galaxy S5 and cannot view all photos in gallery. The photos look like they will load but never do. When try to use camera it is really slow and it will eventually tell me that the camera has stopped working. Restarting provides only a temporary fix.

Hi,
The issue started probably 2 months ago, but as I had not used very much I
can't recall the exact time that it started and what apps were
updated/installed at that time. I went through and uninstalled a bunch of
apps in hopes of fixing it. I have also noticed in the past week the lock
screen that I have will sometimes display funky characters instead of
numbers and letters. Restarting only seems to provide a temporary fix.
Build Number: LRX21T.G900VVRU1BOC4.
Thanks,
Samantha

Cisco Jabber for Android on a Samsung Galaxy Xcover (GT-S5690)

Hello there,
Yesterday we installed the Cisco Jabber client for Android on the Samsung Galaxy Xcover (GT-S5690) phone.
First we had some issue's with one-way voice, but suddenly this problem was occured.
Another problem, which is still there, is when you wants to check your compagny Voicemail (Unity) with the Cisco Jabber client.
We can access the Voicemail system (Unity), the we must fill-in the pincode followed by hash.
As you can see in the attached file, this can't be done.
Samsung Galaxy xCover (GT-S5690)
Samsung Galaxy S2
The reason is the screen size of the display of the difference of the phones.
Hopefully can this small issue be fixed. Our customer ordered 150x Samsung Galaxy XCOVER (GT-S5690) for working with Cisco Callmanager.
Technical Information:
Cisco Callmanager version 8.6.20000
Samsung Galaxy XCover (GT-S5690)

How can I use ebooks downloaded on my laptop to samsung galaxy S5 smartphone?

I purchased some ebooks from BPP publications which requires Adobe Digital Editions for opening. I created the Adobe ID and downloaded the files. The publisher allows to use the product on three machines. Now I want to use the ebooks downloaded on my laptop on my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone. how can I use it?
Please help

I have the same problem, just a chequered screen for me as well.
I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro & an Apple TV 3 so hardware is ok.
You'd think using an Apple app with the latest kit would'nt throw up any problems.
Any ideas anyone?

Unable to use FiOS Mobile Remote App on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2

I'm one of the holdout Blackberry customers who Verizon doesn't recognize as wanting apps anymore. I finally broke down and bought an Android tablet device when I saw the FiOS Mobile Remote App and recognized it as an easy solution for controling my multiple HD STBs in my "Man Cave". Unfortunately, the app has been completely useless.
The app loads fine. I'm able to register each HD STB with the app, however doing anything more than the initial set-up for the remote function results in a crash. Every time I attempt to use it, I get the message "Unfortunately, FiOS Remote has stopped." I will occassionally see the attempted connection displayed on the corner of my TV screen.
All other functions of the app work, including the DVR function.
I've reported this failure for months, using the handy little report button below the crash message. No response.
I've commented on this topic in threads from other users with the same problem. No response.
I've posted to the comments section of the Google Play store. No response.
Please, would someone from Verizon acknowledge this problem exists? My best theory so far is that my tablet device is not on a Verizon data plan (WiFi only), so therefore Verizon isn't interested in supporting it (or this loyal customer).
Device is Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 7.0, running Android 4.0.4. All FiOs STBs replaced with latest generation.

I am sorry to hear about the troubles you are having with the app. We try to make the app as compatible with all devices as possible. The full list of devices the mobile remote is compatible with is https://www22.verizon.com/OnDemand/unprotected/AboutFlexView.aspx . You may find there may be devices that do work with it that re not on the list, but these are all verified working devices with the app. Since yours doesn't appear to be on the list, we can not gaurantee it will work. Submitting all the feedback has gotten word back to Verizon about the troubles you are having. You can also submit this to the Verizon Idea Exchange. Please search on the idea exchange and cast your vote. There may be another member who made the same suggestion.

Verizon Customer Service and Samsung Galaxy S III

A little over 3 weeks ago I purchased a Samsung Galaxy III phone from Verizon.
The exact store is:
224 North Weber Road,
Bolingbrook, IL 60440
(630) 226-4660
When I purchased the phone the person who sold me the phone told me that I had 30 days, If I was not completely satisfied with the phone I could return it and get my money back. However, he assured me that I would LOVE my new phone.
I had just come off using a Blackberry for 4 years with no problems AT ALL! I loved that phone, but I thought it would be nice to get up to the 21st century phone standards and get a touch screen phone. Well, I went for the best…… or so I thought.
As soon as I got my new phone in the car, I started using the speaker phone hands free. The speakerphone began to cut in and out and the person, my husband whom I most speak with could not understand what I was saying. I used the speakerphone on my Blackberry without issue. I did not think much of it because I was so happy to have my new phone. I thought maybe I was just in a bad area etc… Well the issue persisted also when I called my bank, my husband’s mother, my mother and it did not matter where I was the speaker phone did not work properly. Then my phone started to drop calls. Again, I thought it may have been the area, but it started happening a lot. So now I was really beginning to wonder. Having though I was still under the 30 DAY warranty, I gave it a few more days. I began having to take out the battery to reset the unit because apps where disappearing and when I went to re-install them the unit indicated that app was already on my phone and wanted to know if I would like to uninstall the app. I had to once again take out the battery and have the unit restart. Well, I could not take it anymore. With all of the things going wrong only a couple of weeks after purchase, I had to go into the store and see what they could do for me. I went in and explained my situation to the manger who was greeting people at the door, I think her name was Katie or something like that. She put me in line on her IPad just like everyone else for someone to assist me. I was assigned to a very pleasant associate who took the battery out of my phone and said try this to see if this works for you. I, not knowing very much about the technology said ok and walked out of the store. Well it kept on getting worse. I went back to the store on Sunday, September 30th 2012 asking for my money back or a new replacement for the phone. They would not assist me. I started with a regular associate and went up the chain finally getting Katie (the store manager) who repeated everything that everyone else said. So, obviously, she has no managerial skills at all. She stated that they would have to totally reset my phone to see if some apps where conflicting etc. Isn’t that what you purchase a Smartphone for??? To put apps on it and calendars etc. I just downloaded a calendar and Xfinity because that is what I have my e-mail on. I don’t’ think that was the issue, but you could not tell Katie anything.
I wanted a new phone replacement or money back as I spent $300.00 dollars on this phone. She would not have it. She said we have to go through the proper trouble shooting because I was out of the 14 day return policy!!!!. OMGsh 14 days???? I was told 30! Had I known this, I would have gotten my money back the first time I took the phone in for the issues I was having. At that time, I was still under the 14 day policy! I proceeded to express my opinion to everyone in the store stating “Don’t buy a Samsung Galaxy III” They are pieces of **bleep**. Well, needless to say Katie did not like that and she set my phone down in front of me and said, if I am going to swear, she is not going to help me. Ok, then I re-worded my statement to tell everyone in the store “Don’t buy a Samsung Galaxy III they are pieces of garbage” I cleaned it up a little, but still got my point across. I also told her that I would blog about it and send a letter to the corporate office of both Samsung and Verizon. I don’t think that she believed me, but here I am taking my time for this stuff. Time I don’t have much of, but I feel very strongly about this situation. I was lied to and Katie had the nerve to tell me that if I get a replacement phone from them, it would be a refurbished unit even though I just purchased the unit 3 weeks earlier. THAT is unacceptable by any standards!!!
Needless to say I left the store totally dissatisfied with Verizon’s customer service and the Samsung Galaxy III phone. I have not put any unusual apps on my phone nor have I downloaded a new calendar to my phone and I am still having the same issues with dropped calls and bad speaker phone. I will not put any time into this phone for them to tell me they need to reset the whole darn thing again! I am not going to bother going back to that Verizon store, because I know that they will not lift a finger to do anything about it.
My husband wants an IPhone 5. We will not be purchasing this from Verizon and I will probably eat the cancellation fee and go through AT&T so that my husband can get his IPhone. I will never purchase another thing from Verizon, this is not the first time that that they have let me down.
I hope that this letter, blog, facebook, YouTube note will open some eyes with regard to Verizon customer service and the Samsung Galaxy III phone. I don’t know if it will, but with social media as it is, I hope it DOES!
Thanks for nothing Verizon!!!
Sincerely
Donna {edited for privacy}

Hi all
I'm really pleased to announce our photo competition winner, congrats to StuartRogerson - one Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 will be on Santa's sleigh with your name on it shortly!
But there's still one Galaxy 2 to be won in part two of the competition - see below for the winning photo from Stuart. We felt this picture best captured the feeling and meaning of Christmas - but what do you think? PM a caption for this photo to StephanieG or SeanD and we'll select the best as the winner, it should be something that captures the spirit of Christmas - it can be funny, seasonal or sentimental. Last day for submitting your captions is 23rd Dec (by 5pm) so get your thinking caps on, we're looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

I had set my phone to use the pattern screen lock but now it is asking for a PIN.

I had set my phone to use the pattern screen lock but now it is asking for a PIN.
I turned my phone on this morning and instead of the pattern lock that I've been using with this phone since I purchased it, it is now asking for a PIN that I do not know.
I contacted Samsung but they told me that my carrier would be able to reset the PIN for me remotely. I've been trying to find a way to chat with Verizon support but it keeps sending me to self help troubleshooting. It was so easy to get a live person on Samsung support, how do I get a real person on Verizon?
Thanks

Thanks deb2too, I'll keep the number for future reference. I was able to unlock the phone via https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager
