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 av adaptor does not work. Tried to plug my ipad into my samsung hd tv and ipad said it does not support that accessory...help

    What ipad,  which model samsung?  Are you attempting HDMI, VGA, or an RGB connection.  Ipad 2 supports mirroring into an HDMI at an output of 1080.  Ipad 1 is limited to only a few apps capable of the output, such as Youtube.
    page64,65 of the latest ipad manual has more details.
    Samsungs are good and should switch with the input - but sometimes you will have to select from the menu manually.
    If in doubt, contact the customer support at samsung UK.
    Also check - Settings/Video, that you have it enabled for Home Sharing.  Apple Id  which will be your .me.com  email plus your apple ID password.  I am not too sure about  this as I cannot remember the exact order I set things up in - but page 89 of the manual references Home Sharing for sharing ipad/itunes content on a home pc/mac - so I would think it applies to content relayed to a tv or monitor too.

    iOS devices do not have the BT profiles that support file sharing and othr general functions. See:

    Basically it support headphones, keyboards, speakers, peer-to-peer gaming

    Hello there, Ark.
    It sounds like the iPhone has Activation Lock still activated. The following Knowledge Base article provides the methods available for removing the previous owner's account:

    I Have somehow locked myself out of my multitasking bar. I used to just swipe up?

    As I said above, double-tap on the Home button. There is no bar any longer. Instead you will see mini-images of an app in the background. To activate tap on it. To kill it swipe up.

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

    Hi,
    Do you mean you are not getting SMS text messages now ?
    If so start here
    Follow the Account management options until you are offered and email contact.
    Explain the issue via email as only someone in Support can now remove your iPhone Number from iMessages if it has not "de-registered" itself correctly.

    For what silly reason would any intelligent person believe that changing an Apple ID password would have any affect on iMessage?

  • Switched from iPhone 4 to Samsung Galaxy S4 and am not receiving iPhone text messages...

    Hello,
    I recently switched from the iPhone 4 to the Samsung Galaxsy S4 and am no longer able to receive text messages from other iPhone users. I have combed the forums looking for a solution and so far have come up empty handed. What seems to be working for others is not working for me. Here is what I've tried so far:
    Turned on my old iPhone and iPad, went into settings and turned off iMessage, removed iCloud, disabled FaceTime, and disabled my AppleID in the iTunes & App Store settings. I do not own any other devices that could be using my Apple ID.
    I logged into Apple's Apple ID software and unregistered both devices from my Apple ID account.
    I logged into iTunes and changed my Apple ID, address, removed credit card info, and deactivated all accounts attached. I even deleted any backups that were stored. It's basically a generic account now with no information relevant to my old account.
    I went to the Apple Store and they suggested this was a problem with AT&T...
    I spent hours on the phone with AT&T... they directed me to Apple, do you feel my pain?
    I'm losing my mind here, I'm on call 24/7 for my job and rely on emergency call out text messages for critical incident situations. I am not getting those messages because they are being sent from an iPhone based system. If anyone has any additional information on this I'd really appreciate it, I can't afford to wait 45 days for Apple to recognize I am no longer using the Apple ID associated.
    Thanks for your time,
    ~J

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for the response. I contacted Apple at the link you listed and spoke with a representative. We walked through the steps I took in my first post above to ensure I had done them correctly. He didn't offer any new suggestions other than making sure my contacts turn on their MMS before texting me.
    Unfortunately that is not working either. I tested this with several friends and I am still not receiving their messages. They get a response immediately upon texting me that says the message was undeliverable. They are able to receive my messages, I just don't get theirs.
    Any other ideas?
    It's mind boggling that Apple has made this such a difficult transition. There should not be repurcussions for choosing to discontinue the use of their product. The only other thing I can think to do is have my service provider change my phone number... what a nightmare.
